So ok, an earlier repost mentioned the CEO of Blackstone, who is a major Trump supporter, involved in one of the big nation building projects.
Mr. PM, you wrote a book about values. We need to do better here. We need full disclosure about who is involved in CANADIAN nation building.

The Trump family has been bragging that Trump's energy policy has enabled their Bitcoin-mining bonanza.
Turns out they're running part of their mining operations in Canada. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Justin Ling: The Trumps’ latest money-making scheme has a little-known Canadian connection. Can we do anything about it?
It's a refuge for criminals and a cash cow for the man who wants to annex us, yet bitcoin is still being mined in Canada.

I had some issues with LNG fracking aspect of things, and noted the “indigenous” language being used. To find out that a huge Trump supporter is leading the Blackstone corp … aka American, funding and drive behind any nation building project …
I thought better of Carney.

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects.
But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell.
That’s not even the worst part!

If this is true … it’s a profound breach of ethical integrity. The ultimate gaslighting.
Mind you WaPo wouldn’t release its actual diversity numbers
When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Why do I say 'more qualified'? Because maybe we should have fewer wealthy people involved in politics. Maybe people who aren't willing to do public service for less than $300,000/year should fuck off, and hard-working, public service-oriented people can do the job better!

This is how all death squads are indoctrinated and trained as well. No hyperbole here; I think this is exactly the rhetoric.

Pete Hegseth just supported Israel's complete and utter destruction of Gaza with this speech.
Hegseth also gave China the green light to take Taiwan by force with this speech.
He blatantly said the Geneva Convention does not apply.
Hegseth does not believe in peace. He believes in occupation.

Well, let me explain it to you — because they’re trying to do it here in Canada, too, using the term “remigration.”

Just in case you weren’t sure how awful Doug ford is. The courts ruled against him based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because PEOPLE WILL DIE IF HE REMOVES SAFE BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE. So he’s considering ABUSING the Notwithstanding Clause just for ego and some cheap suburban votes.
