Canada's $29.8 BILLION middle finger to America:

They doubled down against Trump's trade war.

Not with diplomacy. Not with negotiations.

But with the most aggressive economic response in its history.

Here's why it's backfiring: Image It started with Trump's 25% tariff on Canadian steel & aluminum.

Then Canada went nuclear with their response:

$29.8 billion in retaliatory tariffs, including:

• $12.6B on steel
• $3B on aluminum
• $14.2B on other US goods

But here's where everything changed:

Mark Carney was in politics ONE f*ing day.

And he's already picking a fight with Trump.

I think he's about to find out that setting interest rates isn't the same as negotiating deals.

Here's what happens when a banker tries to outplay a billionaire: Image
Image
Mark Carney has no clue what he's walking into.

On Monday, this former central banker became Canada's Prime Minister.

He spent 20 years as a central banker (half of which wasn't even in our country).

But now he's picking a fight with Donald Trump...

The $210 trillion climate scheme you've never heard of:

Mark Carney's "voluntary" climate revolution isn't about saving Earth.

It's about creating massive new profit centers for banks.

Here's the hidden conflicts that expose who really profits from his climate strategy: Image I continue to watch Carney's calculated moves with growing suspicion.

From Bank of Canada to Bank of England to UN Climate Envoy to WEF leader.

Each role takes him further from serving Canadians.

And now he wants the highest office in our country?

But this goes even deeper...

Hungary may have found the cheat code for population decline:

Mothers NEVER pay income tax.

Critics say a $2000 tax break per mom is unsustainable.

However, birth rates jumped 29%—other Western nations shrunk.

Here's how this radical policy could save the West from collapse: Image As a dad, I can say there's nothing better than having kids.

It's crazy to me that population rates are in decline worldwide.

And what do people always say when asked why they don't have kids?

"It's not affordable."

But Hungary may have created the perfect response: Image

This banker is about to control the 9th largest economy in the world.

Yet, he's never won an election in his life.

And he answers to global elites—not citizens.

Here's what Canadians don't see coming: Image First, let's be clear about what's happening:

Mark Carney is running for Liberal Party leadership after Trudeau's resignation.

If he wins, he'll become Prime Minister in March.

Without a single Canadian voting for him in a general election.

But that's just the start...

Canada's constitution has a dangerous loophole.

And if Mark Carney becomes Prime Minister, he might be the one to use it.

It's a constitutional power not used since World War I.

Here's the unprecedented crisis nobody sees coming: Image Let me break down how our federal elections typically work.

In 2007, Harper brought in fixed election dates—every 4 years on the third Monday of October.

Sounds simple enough, right?

But here's where it's not simple... Image

The Liberal establishment just pulled off the greatest hijack in history:

ONE man will appoint 100 out of 105 senators.

NONE of them elected by the people.

Here's what Trudeau is hoping you don't notice: Image Let me tell you something about power.

Real power isn't just about who's in charge today.

It's about who controls tomorrow.

And what's happening in Canada's Senate right now should terrify every freedom-loving Canadian... Image

Since 2018, Canada's Poverty Reduction Strategy has spent $88+ BILLION taxpayer dollars.

But the problem has only gotten worse...

With 3.8 Million Canadians living in poverty (10.6% of the population)

Here's why Trudeau's "brilliant" plan failed (and what to do instead): Image Look, I'm married and a father of 3 kids.

And what I'm about to share will make some people uncomfortable.

But the data is clear: Government spending isn't solving poverty.

Here's what they're missing: Image

The most damaging report in Canada's healthcare system just became public:

Alberta Health Services blew $2 million to investigate their COVID response.

But REFUSED to cooperate with their own investigation!

I read all 269 pages.

Here's what they're trying to hide: Image The report was released on Friday late afternoon.

They hoped no one would see it.

But the same bureaucrats who locked us down, closed our schools, mandated masks, and claimed to "follow the science" are now hiding from scrutiny.

It's not just suspicious—this is damning.

This trend will make your blood boil.

Look at the leaders in Trudeau's government.

Everyone who resigned or was forced out has 1 thing in common.

And it reveals a disturbing pattern in Canadian politics... Image Let's start with the SNC-Lavalin scandal.

When Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould refused to help a corrupt company avoid prosecution...

She faced immense pressure from Trudeau's office.

The result? She resigned rather than compromise her principles.

Imagine you didn't actually vote Trump into office.

Imagine he had to defend all of his positions in person.

Imagine you don't like him next year and Congress just votes him out.

This is Canada.

Let me try to explain to Americans how Canadian government works: Image Think of Canada's government like a well-oiled machine with different parts working together.

We have three main players:
• The Crown (our permanent referee)
• The Government (our decision makers)
• Parliament (where the real action happens)

But then it gets weird...

Premier Danielle Smith just met with Donald Trump.

And I can't remember a time when a Canadian Premier met with a U.S. President.

Something's happening behind the scenes that we aren't seeing.

Here's what's really going on... Image Let me paint you a picture of how weird this is:

Imagine if the Governor of Montana showed up at Parliament Hill to meet with Trudeau.

Or Doug Ford flew to Mexico City to negotiate with AMLO.

That's not how international diplomacy works.

But I guess that's where we're at? Image

I can't believe he said it.

Trudeau just resigned—and man, it's about time.

A lot of Canadians have been begging for this day.
Even his own party wanted him gone.

But here's why we can't celebrate just yet: Image Classic Trudeau move on his way out:

He prorogued Parliament until March 24th, 2025.

That means everything stops.

No committees. No votes. Nothing.

It's his last attempt to protect his failing party.

Spotify made a $250 million bet on Joe Rogan.

Yet they canceled Meghan Markle's show after one season.

The difference between these deals reveals everything about what works in podcasting.

Let's break down what happened: Image
Image
Back in 2020, Spotify made two massive bets:

$200 million on Rogan's podcast.
$20 million on Markle's show.

One of these turned into their biggest success story ever.

The other? Well... let's just say it taught them an expensive lesson about what people really want. Image

This is Chrystia Freeland.

She was Justin Trudeau's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister.

On December 16, 2024, she shocked Canada by resigning hours before delivering a crucial economic statement.

Here's the wild story behind Canada's political earthquake: Image Freeland was more than a politician.

She was Trudeau's most trusted lieutenant for 9 years.

Harvard grad and Rhodes Scholar who spoke 5 languages.

Nicknamed the "Minister of Everything" for her ability to handle Canada's toughest challenges.

But something was about to break:

Argentina just achieved something incredible:

A balanced budget for the first time in 123 years.

Meanwhile, Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio just hit 105% — higher than Germany or the UK.

Here's what we need to learn from Argentina: Image
Image
Let's understand how dire Canada's situation really is:

Combined federal-provincial debt has nearly doubled since 2007.

From $1.18 trillion to a projected $2.18 trillion in the 2023/24 fiscal year.

This isn't just numbers on a page - it's mortgaging our children's future...

I can't stop thinking about this...

Trudeau just got owned by Trump.

4 days after Canada was threatened with tariffs, our fearless leader was begging for mercy at Mar-a-Lago.

Here's how Trump did more for Canada in 5 minutes than Trudeau has in 9 years: Image Let's be honest about what happened:

Trump threatened a 25% tariff on ALL Canadian products entering the US.

For a guy like Trudeau who's destroyed our economy, this would be the nail in the coffin.

77% of our exports go to the US. That's $2.7 billion across the border daily.

The G20 just showed their cards:

Support for Ukraine is wavering worldwide.

But Trudeau's response shocked diplomatic circles.

Here's why his aggressive stance will backfire: Image Let's start in Brazil.

G20 leaders gathered for their annual summit, but something was different this time:

The final statement on Ukraine was watered down.

No mention of Russia. No condemnation of the invasion.

A stark contrast to previous strong stances. What changed?

I'm 38.

At 32 I was drinking too much and my marriage was stuck in neutral.

Then I started a book club with 4 other guys.

Here's how it saved my life and transformed my relationship: Image From the outside, my life looked perfect:

I had a beautiful wife, 3 healthy kids, a good-paying job.

But something was missing––a void I couldn't fill.

I was drinking too much, watching my marriage run on autopilot.

Until in 2018, one man's advice changed everything... Image

This is f*cked up.

The Canadian government is helping people commit suicide.

They started with the terminally ill.

Now they're about to help depressed 20-year-olds end their lives.

Here's all you need to know about this horrifying new reality: 🧵 Image MAiD (Medically Assisted in Dying) started out simple enough in 2016.

Someone's 80, terminal cancer, and two months to live, we help you go peacefully—we all get that.

Made sense. Nobody was really arguing.

But then they took it a step further...
