All Canada has to do is listen to what President Trump Originally Stated. Fix Our Border. We Have ISIS, Bioweapons, Fentanyl, Money Laundering, Communist Chinese Troops Here, Child Trafficking, etc.

Not Any Of Our Political Parties Have Fixed This Problem. ( From Mulroney To Carney).

Sam Cooper has looked into why the Canadian government believes the fentanyl crisis is a non-starter. Currently, the majority of fentanyl precursors are being shipped through the port system without obstruction because Canada imports these substances from China to produce heart medications. But the United Front takes some of it to Aboriginal reserves along the border instead of the compounders for medications. These reserves are well compensated by the United Front (the criminal arm of the CCP), which allows the CCP to transport drops into the US. The fentanyl they pick up is going through formal border crossings and, only from what Sam believes, amounts to 5-10% of the actual amount travelling through Canada to the US. So based on the agreement with the Aboriginal communities under self-governance, the Canadian government cannot police the reserves and thus act as a protector of the lands.

The reason also why the port system is essentially an unmonitored pathway is that previous liberal governments have removed the port authority, which used to inspect containers entering the port. So now there is no formal evaluation on what comes into Canada from any port. This particular government was the Christian Liberals, who saw no merit in keeping port police.

So the plot gets thicker; Sam Cooper also, in his research, has found various ties between the United Front and the Liberal Party. The most notable being Mr. Trudeau receiving a donation for the Trudeau Foundation from the then United Front leader at a private party that Mr. Trudeau was invited to prior to his leadership bid to become prime minister. Now the Trudeau Foundation is to be a separate entity from Justin's bid for Prime Minister, but it is strangely odd that the donors based on the Campaign for Justin happened to also be people who contributed to the Trudeau Foundation. And over the course of other Liberal leadership campaigns, the same money transfers exist from various CCP officials. And now the Carney government says they want to throw in with China because the Americans are being unreasonable. But China will not buy our products other than soybeans and energy. There is no inroad into selling Canadian goods in China.

I Do Follow Sam Cooper. I Also Remember Communist Chinese Troops Training In Canada.

I also know that if it wasn’t for the USA Military & President Trump, we would have had another 50,000 Communist Chinese Troops Infiltrate Canada & Then Wanting To Move Forward To The USA.

All Of Our Political Parties Know about this from Mulroney to Trudeau and did nothing about it.

We Have One Party In Canada. They Are All Corrupt, Including The Federal Conservatives. We also have fraudulent elections. Our Supreme Court, Justice, Medical, Education , MSM, etc are all corrupt.

The Real Trudeau went to GITMO.

You Have A Wonderful Day Sir!

We should deport every person who comes to Canada that breaks the law. It's a privilege to live here. But most Canadians have felt that way for a long time...

Why are people taking Fentanyl? Maybe we should look at this... still I think it's less than 1 percent. And, Carney did increase border security.

And we have amazing IT experts - Child trafficking should be a major issue for all of us. Canada and US should tackle this together....so despicable.

If we have empty car factories - let's start making our own. Offer 5 million to any group of engineers or students that come up with a feasible design. For Christs sake we built the Arrow.

Honestly Denise,

For some of us, our hearts are broken for what Canada has become. When people realize that we have one party in Canada and they are okay with destroying us and our country, it is such a betrayal.

I don’t know if you have read this document. He is absolutely correct except for what he is saying about the USA & President Trump. President Trump & The Global Military Are Taking Down The Corruption.

Take Care!

Thank you for this summarized document describing the destruction of Canada. Anyone, and I know they are few, who has read the UN Agendas 2021 and 2030 saw all of this coming. People do not do their own independent research. They rely on media, mostly TV “news” to tell them what is happening. All they get are Liberal lies, omissions, and distortions, but they accept it without any bias awareness. It’s enough to turn one’s stomach.

Carney wants nothing to do with the USA because that could lead to prosperity and economic success for Canadians. Carney has chosen the EU and is deep into the globalist policies of the WEF. Imagine his new idea now: going to the UN to declare a Palestinian state against the many Jews who cannot exist beside those Hamas wolverines. And we choose to protect and defend the Islamists. We are headed for an Islamist-Marxist dictatorship in the not-too-distant future. Those people do not support our values, of which little lamebrain said we have none. Then the Liberal brainwashed go all “elbows up” making those of us with a bit of Canadian pride hang our heads in shame.

Mr. Lilly you said:"Trump bears plenty of responsibility for the mess we are in" . How wrong can you be in saying that. I am surprised you said it. He is not to blame, The Liberal government is fully to blame. The Liberals are a real joke...the peole who voted for them are to blame for the mess we are in. They are so naive and blind for voting someone who is incompetent. Trump is Trump. Like him or hate him...he has all the cards. Carney will bring Canada to its knees into debt.

Before retirement, I was the head of international tax for a multinational oilfield services company with operations in 90 countries, including the U.S. & Canada. Our experience with the Canada Revenue Agency was consistently terrible – not because of the people in the CRA field offices, but because of the aggressive policies coming out of Ottawa.

The O&G business is highly cyclical worldwide, but CRA’s attitude was that when the U.S. operation was profitable, Canada should be EXTREMELY profitable, and when the U.S. lost money, Canada should still be profitable.

Canadian government types have an inbred and overinflated view of their country’s financial entitlements vis-à-vis other countries.

Canada is a great country. I’ve been there many times. My sister-in-law and nieces are Canadian. (Another irritant: paying 10% duty on Xmas presents for our nieces valued over C$60.) But your government ministers think you collectively walk taller than everyone else. That doesn’t leave a good impression.

And it’s not just us Yanks. I was in London negotiating a tax agreement with Inland Revenue for my employer, and during a break, the CRA came up, and a SENIOR UK tax official rolled his eyes and said “Tell me about it…”

The truly informed Canadians, admittedly few it seems, understand your point of view, John. Here in Canada, we have this, I’ll call it shameful, flag-waving, sponsored by tv media who truly cannot see what a failure our country and economy have become. At this juncture in our history, I see no reason to be proud of what this country has become. The idiots voted, then they cheered when they put another idiot in to administer the nation’s business. There are none so blind…

I attribute Poilievre’s loss to Trump’s tone-deaf, asinine & ill-timed “51st state” string of remarks. I can’t think of a line of comments from a foreigner MORE likely to provoke a defensive reaction from persuadable voters in any country. (I strongly support Trump in general, but he really screwed up on this one.)

I did some voting trend research & math at the time of the remarks, and they were insane: if all provinces & territories came in as states, “former Canada” would attract 45 House seats with over half going to Democrats, and 20 new Senate seats, with 14 going to Democrats. (I’m assuming Liberals & NDP would join the Democrats. The U.S. has never had an effective or long-lasting 3rd party.) Assuming the popular vote for POTUS would break the same way, the expanded U.S. would never have a Republican-controlled government again.

Trump is a bully and sees Canada as weak and holding very few cards! Trudeau and Jagmeet pretty much destroyed the country with their weak socialist agenda! Too many special interest groups in Canada that put their own agenda ahead of the well being of the country! Weak productivity because we are taxed to the point that there is no incentive to work harder and build productivity because the government is there to take or be in the way! To many immigrants that put where they came from instead of being Canadians first and contributing! Way too much environment legislation to the point nothing gets done and scares away investment dollars. Acting and spending like we have a population of 400 million where there is less than 42 million! Government leadership that really has a hidden agenda ! To many voters living in a dream world that have got fat of government subsidies ! The list is endless. Donny knows that Canada is ripe for the picking and Canadians are in a weak position ! Elbows up ! lol when Carney puts up his elbows he looks like a chicken ready to fly !

You certainly can see the reality of the situation in Canada, yet you proclaim that Trump is a bully. Why? Should USA defend us forever while we fail to develop and waste our resources? Leave out the bully language and you’ll appear to be someone who understands that Canada has created its own problems, not Trump. That “bully” talk makes you sound like Joy Malbon, Rosie Barton, and Dawna Friesen. Name-calling seems to assuage their audience, and you’ve bought in, when you clearly can see the truth.

Canada looks too silly playing games that it can’t win. Elbows up? Embargo on American booze? WTF? It’s so clear that all they want is to irritate Trump and try to show him that somehow Canada will stand its ground. Nobody believes you and that’s why you can’t get the deal that you want. You need to give Trump something so he can have it his own way(at least a big chunk of it). Because no matter how you try to go about it, in the end Canada has no chance and no choice but to accept anything that’s on the table. And the longer they take, the worse the deal on that table.

It's absurd. Trump has imposed a 50 percent tariff on steel and aluminum—key components in the cost of manufacturing a car. Japanese manufacturers don't face these tariffs. As a result, even with a 15 percent tariff imposed on them, it's likely that cars made in Japan will become more competitive, not less.

Expand full comment
MarshaLouise's avatar

You realize those tariffs on substantial elements in our economy are there mainly because of the Quebec dairy industry. Another shameful control by Quebec, which is also stopping the eastern provinces from benefiting from LNG and cheaper fuel, who see Canada only as a means to their own advantage.

Show us the list of countries with “deals”, then show us proof those “deals” are real. We had a deal, remember? One Trump negotiated. What happened to it? Maybe you can explain this for us…

«The inconsistent interpretations of the deal could possibly be owing to the fact that it was hastily pulled together over the course of an hour and 10 minutes between Trump and Akazawa on Tuesday, according to the FT, which cited “officials familiar with the U.S.-Japan talks.” And, moreover, “Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington—and no legally binding one would be drawn up.”

Some are thus beginning to wonder whether Trump’s avowed “largest deal in history” even technically counts as a deal at all. Brad Setser, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote on X: “If something like this is not ‘papered’ it isn’t really a deal.”»

Your US hedge fund ideology doesn’t stand up to scrutiny very well.
