@Micro2Macr0 @VintageFreeMind @amitisinvesting Or it's more market manipulation so insiders can continue to make billions: x.com/unusual_whales…

I said this morning that I'm happy he kept the markets from dropping, but it was probably all bullshit used to delay a drop for another week while we keep bombing the shit out of Iran. Trump is literally following the same playbook that he used before we went to war. Tell people that negotiations are happening and they're looking good. Then show them what's up when he's ready. When ready say the IRGC is unwilling to work with you. Start bombing them hard around the Strait of Hormuz this weekend, if not sooner. Then get to Kharg Island and take it.

TRUMP: - IRAN WANTS TO SETTLE, WE'LL GET IT DONE, I HOPE - VERY GOOD DISCUSSIONS WITH IRAN - THIS TIME, IRAN MEANS BUSINESS This is the 3rd time today that Trump has spoken to the media about wanting to get a deal done with Iran. He is either seriously trying to find an offramp or really trying to calm the bond markets down…or both.

Can we please shut Knies down? He looks awful. Let him heal up for the rest of the season. @AdamWylde @Steve_Dangle @JesseBlake

Can we please shut Knies down for the season. He’s barely skating or trying. Let him heal his injuries and come back next season. #Leafs #LeafsForever

¡Ay, Caramba! The WORST Real GDP per Capita growth in the OECD. (Luxembourg is not a real country - sorry) Maybe, and hear me out now, we should consider a different economic philosophy.

For the record. A Master Class in Incompetence: the Bank of Canada. High energy prices are deflationary: they squeeze real incomes, crush discretionary spending, and deter investment, so the ultimate macro effect is weaker growth and downward pressure on underlying inflation, not a permanent inflation spiral. Yet you should fully expect central bankers to ignore basic economic theory and, as they did with wages and tariffs, misread a negative supply shock in oil as the start of a permanent inflation regime rather than a growth shock with only temporary price effects. It is hard to describe that repeated error—treating every cost shock as a 1970s rerun, as anything other than total incompetence. The Bank of Canada just delivered a masterclass in that incompetence: leaving rates unchanged as Canada heads for a hard landing is not caution, it is negligence—tight policy into a weakening, energy‑squeezed economy is how you turn a slowdown into a policy‑induced recession, then blame “inflation expectations” after the fact.

Happy 1st anniversary, Mark Carney! -Deficit doubled -Highest food inflation in the G7 -2nd highest unemployment in the G7 -No pipelines approved -Homebuilding dropping 15% -Immigration system still broken -Violent crime skyrocketing in our major cities A year later, illusion meets reality. Congratulations, sir, you’re just another Liberal.

It’s time for Prime Minister @MarkJCarney to join me and millions of our fellow Canadians in supporting the appointment of Don Cherry to the Order of Canada, one of our nation’s highest honours. This shouldn’t even be up for debate. Don Cherry is a Canadian icon, a hockey legend and is loved by Albertans. He’s not just one of the greats, his word and opinion about our national sport is still treated as hockey gospel by millions of Canadians. His contributions to Canadian sport and culture are undeniable, and the work he did to honour our nation’s veterans was an invaluable contribution to our country. He will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Canadians. So, put the puck in the net and give Grapes the recognition he deserves. Read the full story here: calgaryherald.com/opinion/column…

Every MP in Canada needs to be audited by a forensic accountant. Every single one. Start with the floor crossers. Time to take a look at their books.

@grok is it safe to use a VPN provider like @mullvadnet when on a work computer with sensitive client data from a home WiFi network?

@SethZero1 @Tablesalt13 @mullvadnet This is the way!

@Tablesalt13 You can. But I will. I can strongly recommend @mullvadnet. I'm not affiliated in any way.

Canadians be prepared to switch to a No-log overseas VPN very soon.

@MarkJCarney You're a weasel! Pure and simple. I will die before Liberals ever get another one of my votes.

I’m honoured to welcome Nunavut Member of Parliament, Lori Idlout, to the team as the newest member of our Liberal caucus. Working in partnership to build a strong North and strong Nunavut is essential to building a more secure, prosperous, and resilient Canada, with lasting economic opportunity for people all across the North. Lori has devoted her life to fighting for Nunavut’s potential and the immediate needs of its people, becoming known in many ways as the ultimate community MP even as she represents a constituency the size of Mexico. At this important moment in our history, Canadians are coming together to build a strong future. Lori’s voice and leadership will make an invaluable contribution to this work as part of Canada’s new government.

The last federal election was decided by 2.45% of the vote. Liberals: 8.59M votes Conservatives: 8.11M votes Today a NDP MP crossed the floor to the Liberals. That single move effectively neutralizes the voices of 8.1 million Canadians who voted the other way 8.1M thrown in🗑️

There’s a hell of a book to write for the inside person who breaks away from Carney & documents their plan over the past year: - Keep demonizing Trump (yes, I’m aware Trump has made that terribly easy at the best of times) - Build very little but promise it - Publicly pretend that it’s possible to replenish US trade as impossible as it actually is - Make the smallest of changes to toughen laws for repeat/violent offenders - An equally small change to immigration - Do zero on homelessness, fentanyl crisis, mental health supports - they don’t vote -All the while, pitch positions, travel, portfolios to MPs you think would jump or see a financial gain. Presto - a majority 🇨🇦 never voted for.

Boy oh boy, @Travisdhanraj is my new hero in #Canada. Everyone needs to watch and listen to the committee hearings. Proud of you Travis for standing up! 🙏 #cdnpoli #cdnmedia @CBCNews should be defunded or completely overhauled.

CBC management allegedly told Travis Dhanraj he wasn’t allowed to even call Conservatives for interviews. Including Pierre Poilievre. He says he was threatened with being pulled off the air if he did.

🚨BREAKING BOMBSHELL -- CBC WHISTLEBLOWER EXPOSES POLITICAL CENSORSHIP Journalist Travis Dhanraj reveals that the CBC has a secret internal POLICY ...that CONTROLS which political guests are allowed and which aren't! DEFUND THIS PRAVDA NETWORK!

@sidseixeiroshow @Sid_Seixeiro Simple. YES! Let’s go @chrispronger, call whoever you have to. Let’s make this happen.

Do the Toronto Maple Leafs need Chris Pronger? #sick #thesidseixeiroshow @Sid_Seixeiro

Okay @chrispronger, the diehard #Leafs fans desperately need you to come and right the ship. What do we need to do to help make this a reality? Asking for all the loyal fans who have been cheering for this team the past +40 years!!

Thank you Toronto. Dream come true.
