Most Canadians vote in person on election day (today).
Trump had to keep his trap shut *one more day* if he wanted to help the Conservatives. But.. he couldn't.
This will cost the Conservatives votes, maybe a LOT of votes. It's a poisonous endorsement.

This is where we're at. A middle-of-the-road Canadian candidate for PM - a lifelong central banker - does a speech where he says (not for the first time) that the US wants to break Canada so that they can own us.
That's the new mainstream opinion in Canada. Wow.

My investments are largely in Canada, or cash or gold.
Tomorrow I'm looking forward to a truly catastrophic US stock market decline.
Is 10% not enough? Do Americans need 20% before they realize they f*ked up?
Happy Monday. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre."
There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny.
And when push comes to shove we play for keeps

As a Canadian, I wanted to express my deep gratitude for the help Elon Musk is providing us during this difficult time. The US administration clearly wants to annex us.
But Elon is running around Inside The Administration with a chainsaw, eviscerating their government.
Thanks for your service.
