My thoughts in Canada’s plan to add another 300,000+ troops to its military amidst global tensions - is this the end of the long peace?

Market Monday - let’s talk US and Canadian bonds, interest rates, and inflation.

Pete Hegseth could be more subtle in his approach to optics ….. and perhaps war crimes.

John refuses to step down - half the Conservative caucus is backing Trevor and some are backing John. Complete chaos in the B.C. legislature today. Politics relies on norms, and when people just do things their own way it gets messy #bcpoli

And just like that - John Rustad ousted as B.C. Cons leader. Trevor Halford tapped to be interim leader it seems. #bcpoli

France’s Widdowson the racist residential school denialism was arrested at @uvic.ca today - amidst Dallas Brodie and OneBC trying to spark a rally despite not having completed the necessary paperwork. They were trespassed and told to leave.

Tomorrow at @uvic.ca Dallas Brodie and One B.C. will be trying to spread their residential school denialism at 12:30. This is to coincide with their “documentary” further trying to engage in genocide denial and other racism directed towards First Nations in Canada. Counter protests are planned.

You have to give Pierre Polievre credit - this was a classy move. Showed humour and a bit of self awareness. I wonder if this is a sign of a leader that is on their way out, when they can be more themselves and be funny. Seems 50/50 if he will last through the leadership review

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

So you think British Columbia is heading to the polls sooner than later ?

Had the displeasure of sitting next to Dallas Brodie and Heather Maahs on the ferry while they gossiped like schoolchildren about who in parliament is hairy or smells - in between discussing who is going to cross the floor to the OneBC party. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Canada Mark Carney met with Alberta’s Smith to discuss a new oil pipeline - but maybe it’s all just political theatre? Either way they left BCs Eby out in the Cold

Both British Columbia conservative parties argueing over who is less racist wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card.

Zohran and Trump ….. respect each other ?

Zohran Mamdani meeting Trump today will go well I predict - even though it wouldn’t seem so they have common ground in populism and I also think Trump respects Zohran - he respects strength.

Does anybody remember MAGA with pizzagate using their decoder rings to decipher any hidden meaning in emails? Now that it’s Epstein they have all gone silent when it’s right in front of them.

Epstein Files getting released will be a nothing burger - mark my words. Anything under investigation wont be released, and anything incriminating will be redacted.

DOJ will refuse to release the Epstein files based on their sham "ongoing investigation." Bookmark it.

My thoughts on The Carney Budget - Elizabeth May voting for Resource Extraction - and the LNG project at Ksi Lisims

Carneys budget passes in Canada 170-168. One conservative crossing the floor and the leader of the Green Party Elizabeth May are the deciding votes in this confidence vote #cdnpoli #canada #budget2026

With the development of military hospitals and runways in Puerto Rico - the United States seems poised for conflict with Venezuela any day now. #venezuela #poli

My thoughts on the recent exposure of a white nationalist convention uncovered in Vancouver BC Canada

I knew the right wing media would jump through hoops to justify Epstein and Trump - but I have to say this wasn’t the angle I was expecting from them…..

It will be interesting seeing which politicians jump ship - as it becomes more and more clear the Epstein Files are a smoking gun. Perhaps it’s not wise to have a president compromised by Israel and Mossad.

Only the Democrats and Chuck Schumer could somehow turn aWin-Win situation with leverage into absolutely nothing for no reason. Truly a political party that doesn’t want to ever win.

Has anyone considered that maybe it’s not that Sydney Sweeney is racist - but that maybe she’s just really stupid?

Im constantly amazed at how people in positions of authority will do anything - even go through litigation - to just avoid accountability and saying they are sorry.

Thoughts on the federal budget for Canada 2025 #canadianpoli #firstnations

Found the savings in the Liberal government budget - they have just removed nearly all First Nations programs. #canadianpoli

Zohran Monday wins in NYC - unapologetically being pro worker and sticking to his stance the whole time. #nyc #zohran

Andrew Cuomo getting both Trump and Elon endorsed- Elon using his platform under the table again as well. #zohranmamdani

A story in two parts.

White House gearing up for war with Venezuela- cue the restriction of media part 2 At least before they pretended to manufacture consent www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

With the carrier group moving towards the Caribbean - it seems more and more likely war with Venezuela is on the horizon for the United States. It will be interesting to see what mechanism the administration uses to commit troops without a formal declaration.

Essential reading from @antihate.ca:

After Watching Tucker Carlson interview Nick Fuentes I truly think this isn’t a good thing - it normalizes and mainstreams him , but at least we know his game plan for the Groypers. To “hide their power level” and get into government positions of power. Chilling stuff.

Grokipedia is just a carbon copy of Wikipedia - but with Elons personal bias on the algorithm applied.

My thoughts on the Canada - USA tariff gate. #tariff

The 10% tariff hike on Canada because Trump got his feelings hurt by Doug Fords Ad featuring Ronald Reagan’s actual words - will probably not play out in the Supreme Court well. “Hurt my feelings” doesn’t really play in court.

I doubt there will be fair elections in 2026 - and Trump will run again in 2028 so he can finish Steve Bannons master plan with Stephen Miller (if he’s still alive)

Re reading “Shock Doctrine” by Naomi Klein - seems more relevant than ever these days.

NDP Leadership hopeful Rob Ashton tonight: “We’re in a class war. It’s the ruling class versus the working class — and we all have to understand that.”

Pierre Poilievre needs a refresher on how the separations of government work - the RCMP commissioner was right to come back at him. How is this guy still the leader with this level of tact? January isn’t looking good for him. #canada #RCMP

For those that think the next generation of Republicans will be better : you are wrong. The leaked messages from the young folks are damning.

The current state of the financial sector is eerily similar to another time in recent decades….

PM Carney Visited Trump in the White House where Trump declared “peace in the Middle East” potentially on this Oct 7th “anniversary” - Israel responded to this peace by bombing Gaza and harassing Greta Thunberg.

robashton.ca/meet-rob/ Happy to finally see a blue collar labour union leader try to get the NDP back to its roots! #cdnpoli #ndp #canadaelection

As others, including Ireland, rush to help their citizens involved with the flotilla, here’s what Canada’s government told me of the six Canadians on board: “The Government of Canada is not able to guarantee the safety of Canadian travelers, or to provide them with security and protection abroad.”

A tale in two parts - couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Pete Hegseth trying to instil standards is already peak irony - but saying “FAFO” to a group of educated professionals wand silently waiting for applause was a vibe.
