This is insane. Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno now threatening sanctions on Doug Ford and Mark Carney over the wildfires. He says they should have their assets seized and be denied visas. He’s not fringe, this is on a top show on Fox News. Utter insanity.

This was on Wellesley between Yonge and Bay last Saturday afternoon. Not an unusual sight these days. Drug zombies everywhere. They need help not more drugs.

Trump moments ago on Carney’s deal with China. “It’s OK. It’s what he should be doing. It’s a good thing to sign a deal. If you can get a deal with China, you should do that.” Remember though, he complimented Doug Ford’s ad two days before losing it over the ad. China cars…

This is floating around, getting lots of anger and comments. This seems implausible but I asked an immigration lawyer it this could happen. “Of course! Her parent or grandparent made her eligible for citizenship.” I’ve reached out to the woman for details. We shall see.

On Friday, Stats Canada announced 48,000 private sector job losses, mostly full time. Total job losses 33,000. In the United States the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced an increase of 228,000 new jobs. Remember though, Mark Carney is an economic star.

I’ve often heard of the hawks in downtown Toronto being savage with other animals, even taking small dogs. Until today, I had never seen it. Here is a hawk eating a pigeon outside Kelly Library at St. Mike’s at U of T.

Even with a ceasefire, the Hamasnik animals are on the streets of Toronto, faces covered denouncing Israel, supporting their terrorist pals and denouncing me. They can go to hell.

Mark Carney says he was offered to be finance minister by Stephen Harper. I’ve never heard this before and neither have many people I know close to Harper. I’ll keep following this claim but what I’m told so far is that Carney isn’t exactly telling the truth here.

Kudos to Mark Carney for getting on the ice with the Oilers. It ain’t easy as you get older. But is missing on an empty net the visual you wanted?

This is the wildest end to a political rally I’ve ever seen. Trump ends with his rallying cry and then is joined on stage by The Village People and he dances with them.

Have you noticed that Mark Carney changes his message depending on his audience and location. Rupture. Deeper integration. New World Order. Canada Strong will MAGA. We are European and will work with you.

Shockingly, Carney admits that in his call with Trump yesterday he didn't raise the issue of CUSMA. He also kind of shrugged off the idea of getting a deal. Wasn't that his big promise in the last election?

Donald Trump is asked whether he will bend on tariffs on Canada given Ford and LeBlanc in Washington today. He says no and goes on a rant about how "Canada is ripping off" the United States. It's not Trump Derangement Syndrome to say he is wrong, it's reality.

Absolute lunatics taking over the Eaton Centre in Toronto. They are targeting a Jewish owned business, Indigo. They also believe that you should be able to lead a normal life until they get what they want. Full support for terror attacks on Israel.

Trump just used his speech at the WEF in Davos to say Canada can become the 51st state and they don't need our products. His message, become a state or pay a tariff.

On Canada Day, I posted a link to my website and a video explaining what was happening with CUSMA. Based on the comments here, plenty of people didn't watch it but have thoughts on the deal based on things that just aren't true. So, here is the video for you to watch here.

Wow! Mark Carney gets very testy when asked about his assets by the Globe’s Stephanie Levitz and then lectures CBC’s Rosemary Barton for following up. Something is up here. And really? Lecturing two journalists about their questions?

I'm seeing lots of people dunking on Ford saying he blinked, he reversed course, he failed. He's got a meeting with Howard Lutnick in the White House, along with fed FinMin Dominic LeBlanc, to start the process to renegotiate CUSMA. That's a positive move.

We were asked to delay the DST for 30 days. We said no, it takes effect on Monday and our a retroactive payment of up to $3 billion due then. The bill that brought in the DST was only passed last June but the companies are being told to pay it going back to 2022. Dumb move.

Donald Trump didn’t add any new tariffs on Canada, we are CUSMA exempt, but still have steel and aluminum like every other country. But Carney’s entire campaign is based on picking a fight with Trump on the tariff issue which is why he might look distressed here.

Listen to the chant. “We don’t want two states! Bring us back to ‘48!” They move from that to “From the river to sea, Palestine will be free.” They are clearly telling you they don’t want Israel to exist, there is no room for Jews in Jerusalem of anywhere else for these guys.
