Folks in 🇨🇦 keep explaining to me that we don’t have 🇺🇸-like crime.

It’s true. Here’s a brief list of the 🇺🇸 crime that never happens in 🇨🇦.

<thread> 🧵👇 2. in 🇺🇸, their anti-money laundering & enforcement budgets are soaring to deal with crime.

In 🇨🇦, we’re so confident that there’s no laundering that politicians confidently slash the budgets.

People think 🇨🇦 is lax on money laundering because it’s good for the economy. Nope.

It’s so much worse. The lax enforcement turned into organized crime capturing 🇨🇦. The legal system is now too scared to act. Seriously.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ First off, let’s talk about how extensive 🇨🇦’s organized crime (OG) problem is. The country’s OG intel agency estimates 2,600 groups operate in the country.

Since a gang is 3 people or more, at minimum they’re estimating 1 in 4000 adults are OC members.

🇨🇦: fun story. Two guys fight. One gets murdered. The other gets murdered a year later.

🇨🇦's intel agencies pursue evidence alleging they were involved w/criminal activity.

Thankfully the intel agencies were redirected by the real experts—🇨🇦's politicians.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ Good thing. It was the enemies of the politicians all along—India. 🇨🇦’s PM Trudeau notified the public it found "credible rumors.”

🇨🇦 goes from “Modi did it” to denying it, then calling one of its own intel agents a criminal faster than a bank bail out.

So weird. 🤷‍♂️

🇨🇦 hiding a lot more fentanyl trafficking.

A whopping 19 FENTANYL TRAFFICKING CASES DROPPED OVER 7 DAYS IN ONE CITY. Why would 🇨🇦 do that? 🤷‍♂️

Police bust massive rings, it makes the news, the gov drops charges. What fentanyl trafficking? There’s no convictions. 🙄 2/ Hamilton home prices 3x in 8 years, eh? Is it 🇨🇦’s Greenwich, CT?

Love Hamilton but we’re not paying the gov $10k for property records to prove the laundering, only for gov act shocked & ignore it.

Already did that in TO. I’ll do the analysis, but not paying for records. 😂

“🇨🇦 doesn’t have fentanyl problem. 🇺🇸 only seized 19 kgs at the border.”

lol. Yeah, no. Firefighters accidentally found multiples of that in some dude’s apartment.

The brother of Toronto’s Danforth Mass Shooter lived there…

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ long story short, firefighters are called to check out a carbon monoxide detector. They see an unreasonable amount of drugs.

They call the police, who find 33 firearms, and 42 kg (92.6 lbs) of carfentanil, a powerful derivative of fentanyl.

🇨🇦’s a special place. Regardless of race, creed, or nationality—the country will accept you with open arms… to wash your money.

🇨🇦 doesn’t just have a money laundering problem. It’s THE global money laundering hub, leveraging its innocent reputation.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ a lot of people heard about TD’s epic money laundering problem, and the resulting US$3b fine for washing cartel cash.

Few people in 🇨🇦 realize TD & RBC had freakishly similar allegations here, but the case was botched and fell apart.

Neither 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 are saying what the drug-border conflict is about out loud, so I guess I’ll do it.

This is about 🇨🇦’s trucking industry & Ontario’s truck driving schools that popped up overnight.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ first off, you’ve probably seen this chart makings the rounds “proving” 🇨🇦 isn’t a big source of drugs in 🇺🇸.

When I talk stats, I always tell people to take careful note of what it’s showing.

In this case, it’s drug seizures on the 🇨🇦& 🇲🇽 border. Straightforward.

🇨🇦’s public safety minister just said less than 1% of 🇺🇸’s fentanyl is from 🇨🇦, and ditto for illegal immigrants.

Here's why that's a whopper of a lie. Warning: Your opinion of 🇨🇦 will irreversibly change.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ Last year 🇺🇸’s border seized ~19.6k lbs of fentanyl.

🇨🇦 busts in Q4:
- a lab in BC was producing ~4% that volume per year
- a lab in AB produced ~1% of that volume

In 🇨🇦, just these 4 busts in Q4 represented over $1 billion of drug profits.

Fun fact: 🇨🇦’s last finance minister executed a wild accounting scheme that no one is discussing.

This reckless moved padded the pockets of corporate interests, artificially inflates gov revenue, & is partially responsible for the loonie’s plunge.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ One of her favorite moves was borrowing on behalf of corporate interests. 🇨🇦 wasn’t “giving” money, it borrowed for them.

It later forgave billions turning it into strategic corporate welfare & they refused to disclose for whom. But that’s another issue.

🇨🇦 is falsely framing a prominent journalist as an asset of Russia.

It's a malicious lie to discredit @davidpugliese, who has a 42-year track record of exposing embarrassing gov lies.

A short list of the work 🇨🇦 is trying to hide.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ 🇨🇦's military used the pandemic to test its propaganda techniques.

In 2021, David exposed the military conducted an "info" sharing exercise against the public without any official authorization or request from the Fed gov.

🇨🇦’s tax authority (CRA) was forced to acknowledge it’s hiding a significant breach of its internal system by hackers.

Also, an unrelated SMS exchange between me & a prominent FINTEC expert that started 6-months ago on the topic of Don’t Worry About It.🙃 2/ also for anyone else that wants a little peak into our Don’t Worry About It file.

🇨🇦 anti-gang Intel agency estimates 1 in 2,600 adults in 🇨🇦 are organized crime affiliated & 1 in 10 work for government.

Okay, 🇨🇦. I need you to look past the left vs right BS for a sec. You don't understand how hard you're being screwed.

In a few tweets, you'll understand gov finance better than most politicians. You'll also see how f*cked up Ontario's corner store liquor deal is.

<thread>🧵👇 2/ Rushing the deal means taxpayers will shoulder an initial bill of $1b.

If paid in cash, that tax revenue is equivalent to 111k families working for a year. Imagine the whole city of Windsor going to work for a year. All to pay that bill.

But ON is broke, it has little cash.

The kids are not alright.

By isolating children from socialization for months, countries like 🇨🇦 may have inadvertently produced a generation of tiny psychopaths.

Let's talk about the research on early childhood development. We have no idea what's coming.

<thread> 🧵👇





2/ Prosocial behavior is voluntary behavior we demonstrate towards others. Acts of kindness, compassion, etc.

It's why you help an elderly stranger with a heavy package. It's why you give money to the homeless.

It's the stuff we do that we can only explain as the "right" thing.

High home prices will come down if more is built. Simple supply & demand, right?

That’s one of the biggest lies ever repeated.

Let’s talk about home prices, monetary policy, and how greasy f*cks tricked the normies into advocating for their own exploitation.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ first, let’s clarify something about monetary policy. The central bank exists to control the decay of money, aka inflation.

The key policy rate is their primary tool, influencing other lending rates. If inflation is below target, they’ll lower rates to stimulate borrowing.

🇨🇦’s rolling out 30-year mortgages to “help” first-time buyers get a home.

This is actually a form of liquidity injection called capital cushioning.

It’s not about affordability. A similar plan was used by the 🇺🇸 during the financial crisis. Is this a crisis? 🤔

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ first off, let’s fix what you’ve been told about the 🇺🇸 housing bubble.

a common myth is poor people with subprime credit f*cked up. In reality, poor people have nowhere else to go so they paid their bills through negative equity.

When you’re poor, everyday is a recession.

🇨🇦’s financial system may be just weeks away from a crisis.

It’s probably more lucrative to not explain this to you normies, but f*ck it—no one’s going to change the trajectory.

Let’s talk about 🇨🇦’s upcoming credit crunch. But first, a primer on credit.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ some people assume the central bank just picks an interest rate. Nope, credit is based on supply & demand.

When supply exceeds demand, costs falls. If everyone wants to lend you money, you don’t pay a lot. That’s why Zuck’s mortgage is only 1%.

The opposite is also true.

Fun fact: 🇨🇦 issues student visas to anyone with a few bucks.

Here’s a quick thread on the hundreds of criminals that organized crime groups set up in 🇨🇦 using student visas.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ 🇺🇸’s DEA claims El Chapo made $3m/day in 🇨🇦 prior to his arrest, and they were surprised by how “deep infiltration” was.

His point man in 🇨🇦? Jesus Herrera Esperanza, aka Hondo—a “student” in 🇨🇦. No one knows where Hondo is these days.

Most people don't understand how interest rates, population growth, and immigration are related.

Let's fix that with a quick thread.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ A central bank's purpose is to control the decay of money, aka inflation.

If inflation is low, they cut rates to stimulate consumption by lowering the cost of borrowing. Since debt is your future income used today, this creates demand w/the goal of overrunning supply.

Families in 🇨🇦 work *really* hard to survive.

Policymakers don’t appreciate that fact, when they’re spending years of your labor with a stroke of a pen.

They spend so much, people have a hard time fully comprehending these numbers.

Let’s put it in context.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ I constantly hear politicians & their minions say, “it’s only a million/billion,” like they made that last week at the race track.

In reality, the median household paid $9.3k in income taxes in 2022, and worked their ass off to do it.

How many had their cash incinerated?

People in 🇨🇦 are historically very accepting of immigrants & the country's generous immigration policies.

Now they're sounding more split. Unfortunately, a lot of well-intended people are being exploited by predators to adopt their opinions.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ Historically, 🇨🇦's post-war immigration policy was extremely successful. That's because it generally focused on people who were:

- hard-working: often only leaving their home due to political or economic downturns;

- talented: academics & skilled labor;

Why is every politician discussing their aggressive plan for affordable housing?

… even the ones you know don’t care about it?

Well, they hijacked the term and weaponized it against the people who need it. Here’s how.

<thread> 🧵👇 2/ in 🇨🇦, the term affordable housing now means a rental that’s 1/3 the median household income.

First off, a third of income isn’t really affordable. A third of income is the max allowable payment a mortgage borrower can accept before they’re considered too risky of a payer.
