This is yet another step in the slow death of the Charter. I have long argued that not just the federal govt, but Canadian who cherish their most fundamental rights must act to save the Charter, my suggestions: hilltimes.com/story/2023/02/…

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core. The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old. It had fewer than 50 employees. And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it. Here is the part the administration tried to bury. Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast. One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done. Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion. A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son. This is public money. Your money. Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for. And there is more coming. A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review. This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer. propublica.org/article/donald…

Happy birthday, dear Kyiv, capital of freedom, soul of Ukraine! ❤️🇺🇦

🟥 The illusion is over. The once great United States, is now officially a dictatorship. 🤷🏻‍♂️ ▪️ When a President uses state funds as his personal piggy bank, rewarding his followers with millions in taxpayer cash ▪️ When he corruptly funnels taxpayer money into his companies and trades stocks using his influence to advantage; ▪️ When he personally designs and builds NATIONAL monuments, in his image, without oversight; ▪️ When he uses the once sound justice system to punish his political enemies; ▪️ When he uses the nation's military to attack foreign nations because those attacks have PERSONAL strategic value to him; ▪️ When he designates left-leaning pressure groups as terrorist organizations ▪️ When he gets comedians and media personalities who criticize him, fired... And NOW - when President Donald Trump sits down for a prime-time interview on a major network like Fox News, interviewed by his OWN daughter-in-law, Lara Trump ... 👀 This is the kind of family-run, softball propaganda you usually see in authoritarian regimes, where the leader controls the message through relatives and friendly media, with zero tough questions. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Does America not realize what is happening?? The FOUNDERS are turning in their graves.

Canada’s Aluminium Is Going to Europe. Brilliant Work, Donald. A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminium, the one country on Earth that was happily selling the stuff at sensible prices, right next door, through an integrated supply chain that took decades to build. And now that aluminium is sailing across the Atlantic to Europe instead. Canadian exports to the EU went from near zero to between 6% and 40% of monthly totals in the space of a year. Just vanished eastward. Extraordinary result. US consumers are now paying $6,200 a ton for aluminium. Europeans are paying $4,300.  American manufacturers taxed nearly two thousand dollars a ton more than their competitors. For beer cans. And car parts. And buildings. Tremendous. Nobody could have seen that coming, except everyone. Meanwhile Europe, which was already scrambling after losing its Middle Eastern supply to the Iran war, now faces a 5.6 million-ton aluminium deficit in 2026. And Canada just filled it. With metal that used to go to America. The head of the Aluminium Association of Canada put it with admirable restraint: the EU option “remains attractive,” adding pressure on the US market. What he meant was: Washington handed Europe a competitive advantage in manufacturing while American industry pays the bill. This is what happens when a trade guru who has spent his career slapping his name on buildings in gold letters decides he understands global commodity flows. No leverage materialises. Just an empty dock in Ohio and a very pleased purchasing manager in Rotterdam. Well done, Donald. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Premier Kinew instructs the Alberta Premier on why the first nations rightsholders in Alberta and Canada will combat irrational attempts at secession.

+100 Collective punishment on civilians is a war crime.

There will be history books written about the most corrupt, racist, uneducated and megalomaniacal leader and administration in recent world history.

That escalated quickly... 🤣🤣

@MarkJCarney is also 5correct, a mere 50% plus one majority would not be sufficient to negotiate separation, the Supreme Court said whether it would be is a political question which if the Alberta First Nations have a vote, it would be far from sufficient.

This comedy sketch by Jimmy Kimmel is laugh out loud funny. Take a look I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

My take in The Hill Times on how Alberta Premier Smith's referendum is opening up a Pandora's Box of dangers that she will not be able to control and imperil her and Canada: hilltimes.com/2026/05/28/alb…

Some of you need to chill. CUSMA is up for review. USA is a sick country. A hateful, violent, greedy, jealous, predatory, mafioso, gangster, imperialist thief. He has to choose his words carefully & say things in an indirect inadvertent way👇👇 PM Carney is SAYING👇👇”There is no need to crush Canada. A weak Canada won’t help you. A strong functioning, prosperous Canada “could” make a stronger USA” - let’s trade fair & square”. He’s saying that crushing us, won’t help USA. But buying/trading with us fair & square - treating us like an equal is the best thing for USA too. The more you weaken Canada, the more you weaken USA. Do you lack the intellectual sophistication to see what he’s REALLY doing/saying here? It’s a balance for Canada to stand up for itself (which we’re doing) while not directly evoking the jealous angry wrath of USA. Canada continues to strive for increased sovereignty & trade diversity. We continue to reduce our trade with USA while expanding trade with others. That hasn’t changed and will not change. But we also have to find a way to work with USA - that’s the geographic reality of where we live & decades of increasing trade with USA $ failing to diversify trade. We are diversifying trade now faster than we thought we could, but it takes time. As of May 2026, %65 of our trade involves USA. And neither Canada or USA could sever trade with the other, even if they wanted to. And let’s not forget that Canada is currently USA’s largest consumer. We are literally USA’s largest export market. That in itself holds a lot of power. USA’s mindest is “ We are superior human beings. We deserve everything. Everything belongs to us. Everyone that’s not a USA citizen is inferior - except our Middle East outpost proxy for USA, foreign policy Israel. If you don’t do exactly what we want or sign deals that benefit us at your expense, we will try to bomb you invade you sanction you destroy your economy, stabilize your country, and bring you to your knees. We don’t do win-win trade. We don’t obey United Nations law, human rights, law, the law of war or anything else. We do what we want. And if you get in our way, we will try our best to make sure you don’t get up again”. It’s understandable that Prime Minister Carney would make a speech like this. But please take a moment to reflect & figure out what he’s really saying - what he’s really trying to do. His words are not to be interpreted %100 directly. And I’m so disappointed that so many Canadians are panicking about what he said without taking a moment to think about what he’s really, really actually saying or alluding to.🙄🙄

Absolute cinema 🔥 🇺🇸Trump at 6:00 PM — “Strait of Hormuz needs free navigation. Sea must be open like before. Don't worry guys, I’ll make a great deal.” 🇺🇸US Senator at 9:00 PM — "But the Strait of Hormuz was already open and free before the war. So what makes this deal 'great'?" 🤣 People aren't buying Trump's BS anymore.

This week alone: DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped. The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm. The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company. Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight. It’s just Thursday. The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

SOUND UP!! Trump fans called Biden Sleepy Joe for years Now I need MAGA to explain this video with a straight face. 💯 Whatever you do, DO NOT share this. Would be a shame if Sleepy Don went viral. 🤣

Stunning descent into megalomaniac madness.

How a corrupt leader can potentially lead a superpower into possible disaster.
