Those are style points. In which specific policy areas is he significantly different from Trudeau. If not many, are you happy with Canada’s direction? Truly curious.
Mark Carney doesn’t waste words when he speaks. He delivers a message firmly with meaning, calmness, intelligence, and substance. This is Canada’s next Prime Minister, and he’s going to be a really good one. Just what we need at this moment in time. 🇨🇦

Don Jr. then Barron.
Trump's going to be 80+ at the midterms. He stuck a knife in Vance, his obvious successor. He's musing about a third term. His policies are going to result in a midterm massacre for the GOP. If Republicans (and Vance) aren't already thinking about succession, I'll be amazed.

Is he delusional or just evil?
According to Tucker Carlson, "Ukraine is re-selling up to half of the American supplied weapons to Mexican drug cartels operating along the US border." "This is not speculation, it's a fact," he continued. Zero evidence presented. This man is 100% paid by the Kremlin.

Something like a “free trade agreement” would be original.
This Canadian situation is unique. It's the beginning of a giant negotiation. 70% of aluminum comes in the U.S. is made in Canada for one singular reason. It's to get all the power. Aluminum requires electricity. We don't have any grid left for electricity. The signal here is let's get an economic union together. The Canadians aren't going to sell the country. That's not on the table. 43% of Canadians want to explore joining the two economies and become a behemoth and then take on China. Unfortunately, the one fly in the ointment right now is Trudeau government collapsed. He's not there anymore. So everybody's scrambling. We're waiting for the election in 90 days when new leadership. In the meantime, it's the premiers of provinces like Doug Ford in Ontario and Danielle Smith in Alberta that are taking all the heat and trying to negotiate this stuff because they're doing the most trading with the United States.

It would have been nice if this interviewer had pushed back against some of Trump’s huge lies. But he would be fired, so, no.
Trump: "Canada has a very big car industry. They stole it from it is."

RFK Jr: "There's three giant corporations: BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard." "They've now decided to buy every single family home in America... They literally are trying to buy everything." "Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, is on the board of the World Economic Forum, and they've said we want this Great Reset, which is you will own nothing and you will be happy." "And because they have a huge bank book... your kids do not have a chance to buy that home, because they can't outcompete BlackRock."

Still think diversity is our strength?
Hamas loyalist Abdulah Al-Reyati tells a crowd in Ottawa that terrorism is an "act of obedience" and an "obligation" in front of @OttawaPolice. He claims the leaders of Hamas are the chosen ones after their martyrdom. He still wears a mask despite being easily recognizable.

Poilievre has a job. Carney does not. The leadership ought not to be a coronation. Trudeau (still) has a job. He just isn’t doing it. Come home from Paris and reconvene Parliament or get out of the way.
While @MarkJCarney continues to avoid Canadian media @PierrePoilievre continues to travel the country making concrete policy announcements that put #CanadaFirst. Programming note: just because MSM don’t cover something, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Interesting and a bit creepy. But since Elon stole his job, JD needs to do something or DOGE will fire him.
JD Vance is turning into the prince of ‘trolling’

Rest him and find out
Ottawa Jihadist Abdulah Al-Reyati leads a chant in Arabic that claims he will be "resilient" and "fearless" "with my weapon." What sort of weapon do you think he's referring to? 🧐 @OttawaPolice @csiscanada

Xi wants much more than that. He just doesn’t need the China brand on the front door.
Putin wants Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, the Baltics, Finland, Poland... Trump wants Greenland, Panama and Canada. Xi wants Taiwan. Welcome back, imperialism.

Isn’t he the guy who campaigned against wars?
Trump: Hamas must release "ALL of the hostages by noon Saturday". Hamas has been used to playing with the Obama's and Biden's of the world. I think Hamas is about to find out Trump is neither Obama nor Biden.

Is the crisis in Paris? That’s where he is.
🇨🇦 77% of Canadians want an election. Trudeau refuses, claiming Canada is “in crisis.” Yet in 2021, he called a snap election during a crisis—to bury the Wuhan lab scandal. Now, he’s dodging a non-confidence vote to cling to power. This isn’t just corruption—it’s treason.

He barely speaks for his own faltering party. CNN should know better.
CNN purposely put Jagmeet on to poke the bear. He of course took the bait and now we look even more foolish. The Americans are laughing at us. Dear Americans, this man in no way or form represents Canada or speaks for us.

Trump insisted that Obama was born in Africa and now has a guy who's literally born in Africa running everything.
