He should introduce Sam Cooper to speak about the threat China poses to our future and what has been discovered about their influence on the present.

Absolutely! Sam Cooper is the man to expose the crime & corruption!

Pee Pee refuses to get security clearance so he knows nothing about what China's doing.

What is he afraid of?

Sam Cooper has exposed China without security clearance. Try again.

So the person who claims he wants to be PM SHOULDN'T get security clearance?

Expand full comment

If he gets security clearance, he's not allowed to open his mouth after that.

So it's all about him being able to yell and point fingers, which seems to be the only thing he knows how to do. In other words it would shut him up. So would having him turfed in the next election.

Why would anyone not want to have CSIS and the courts reporting to the people -- its our country the elected can not hide. "Pointing fingers" at least is not denial.

I don't put my hope in man. My hope is in Jesus Christ. He's the anchor of my soul. This world is fading and Will disappear, it won't be long till the great tribulation, 7 years of it and then Christ comes back With

At the end of the day, responsibility always comes down to those in government, especially those leading it. What did they know about the Chicom's acts of domestic interference and intimidation, when did they know, and what did they do about it? To date, it would appear, well, nothing.

I do not know how I fell on this substack, but it's just off. China is a threat, not really. Carney is unelected, sure. He will get elected or not. It's part of our system, nothing nefarious about it. As much as no one on the right wants to admit, climate change is a real thing and we pay for it one way or another. The kicker is that the carbon tax is a conservative idea. Populist always think that something hard can easily be fixed, such as interprovincial trade barriers. I am all in favour, but it won't replace lost trade to the USA. The new authoritarian administration in the US is a real threat to Canada, much more than India or China. But yeah, bring on the war of ideas, as this will be a very important election and we will need to have good ideas, wherever on the political spectrum they come from.

Check out Sam Cooper’s work. He is one of the few investigative journalists that haven’t been captured or compromised. He has proven that Canada is a money laundering and fentanyl production hub that’s soft on crime, absent with federal and provincial law enforcement.

Trump knows this and he’s been asking nicely for Canada’s government to do something about it.

Something is going to happen. It has to.

Expand full comment

So why do we destroy our country and watch the rest of the world carry on as nothing is wrong? Sure climate changes. But it is disappointing to think that sending my tax dollars to a narcissistic liberal leader will do anything to help. Where is the proof that anything that is being done today is helping? Even the how many billion people on this planet expell CO2 all the time. There are ways we can all try and help yes, but sending money to Ottawa is only adding to the corruption there.

He was wrong in that. Yeah, and btw, I have no shame in admiring a guy who's worked his way into the Big NA Automakers, sent rockets into space, created Neuralink, provided internet access to billions, etc. your hero Carney? Well, he's fucked up the Treasuries of two industrialized nations while cutting insider deals benefiting himself, as head of Brookfield invested heavily in oil and gas - just outside of Canada because apparently it's better to buy/invest in oil from countries that hate us and who have lax environmental standards. Your other hero fucked his high school student, appeared in black face too many times to remember, bullied females in cabinet, groped a reporter in Creston, was involved in countless ethical scandals.....need I go on? Don't bother responding. Just go fys, paid Liberal troll.

Well moron. A few facts for you. Never voted for Trudeau a single time, not a single once. If you are going to throw accusations of teacher sex abuse if students, you had better produce a charge or proof. Right wing nut message boards, do not count. I have stock in Brookfield. If you don't sucks to be you. Musk is a NAZI. Smart, sure but a tool all the same. As for Carney, Imhe did fine as governor if the Bank of Canada, which explains why he was hired by the Bank of England. Hell even Harper offered him a job. So, as we say here in Quebec, calmed tes nerfs. Go put on your red hat and harass some libs. Toodles

Expand full comment

'Musk is a NAZI'? Shame on you for stating such a vile comment! Musk is doing what no leaders under Trudeau's regime have done - placing their country and citizens first! Trudeau is an evil narcissist who's damaged Canada thru his evil policies! From opening the floodgates to immigration, to controlling the media to allowing Canadian banks to seize citizens funds without any court order - these are NOT the policies and/or actions of a leader that cares for its country!  

Anyone with a brain and common sense simply needs to review Trudeau's cabinet - a group of unqualified DEI hires! These are the puppets and fools running the country straight over a cliff! 

Take a look at all the important metrics pre-dictator-Trudeau to today; Canada's cost of living has sky-rocketed, unemployment has gone up, health care has gone down - a drastic shortage of doctors with dangerous wait times for specialists - green policies that have knee-capped the ability for Canada to trade with other countries, ...then the audacity to say, 'Buy Canadian'. The list goes on. Trudeau is a WEF puppet and a fool, and his followers are lamb being led to the slaughterhouse, all chanting in unison how wonderful everything is!

WOW. Ignorance is alive and well in this one! Hey Jean, while climate change is an issue - it's far from the ONLY and/or MOST important issue. While you scream climate change, the citizens of Canada are losing fundamental freedoms all while the country has some of the highest costs of living in the world, combined with a crumbling health care system. Climate change means NOTHING - REPEAT - NOTHING - if people cannot afford to live and/or are forced to live under a dictatorship that will fine, and/or imprison it's citizens for speaking out - because that's the direction we're headed under the Liberal and/or NDP parties.

Simply asking this question screams of someone living within a bubble of groupthink. However, the fact you are here on Substack, at least provides some glimmer of hope. If you're living in Canada, most of the articles you are fortunate to read on Substack are blocked on social media due to Bill C-18. Trudeau's regime passed this bill under the guise to make media companies 'more competitive', forcing them to pay a tax on social media articles. All while Trudeau funds Canada's largest media company, the CBC, a highly biased media outlet pandering to his party. These are the actions of a dictator to control the media and it's people!

Not to mention, Trudeau's actions in allowing banks in Canada to seize people's funds WITHOUT any court order - REPEAT, WITHOUT ANY COURT ORDER: https://financialpost.com/fp-finance/banking/trudeau-gives-banks-power-to-freeze-funds-without-court-order-in-bid-to-choke-off-protest-funding Again, these are the actions of an evil dictator. Period.

I guess you weren't anywhere near Ottawa those weeks, and didn't have an event or business trying to open up after weeks of being closed, only to have a bunch of so-called "truckers" showing up, acting like clowns, and causing even more havoc in our lives. I know I speak for many people when I say that it was a relief when Trudeau finally stepped in and decided there was a need for an adult in the room, and it had to be him. The OPP failed, OPS failed, Do Fo failed, Pee Pee failed, and the anti-science anti-whatever band of clowns failed.

Trudeau succeeded.

Expand full comment

Trudeau only succeeded in making a fool of himself on the world's stage and taking one more step in his underlying policies and goals to control the citizens!

Funny you also have the ignorance to bring up 'anti-science' comments when it's been definitively proven the 'science' you've alluded to has been debunked over and over and over again. I'm guessing you're writing comments in your basement while wearing a mask :)

Back to your bubble of liberal groupthink and intolerance - when you step out into reality, it's obviously quite difficult and troubling for you! However, don't worry, the adults have take over from here - as is happening in the US and Canada to follow not soon enough!

You still didn't answer this one, either:

"Why do you think the author felt the need to lie in this article? Are you OK with that?"

My "reality" was I had to cancel a planned event two weekends in a row because of the clowns clogging up downtown Ottawa. So one Nordic ski instructor lost two weekends of work, and a local pub lost sixteen customers both days. That was the very same day that lockdowns were eased, and they were finally open for business again. But no, the Klown Kar had to fuck it up some more for them.

Y'all lost the room, dude. You just didn't notice.

Pat and Tamara made complete idiots of themselves, and so did TimBit Pee Pee. I don't expect you to notice, but just for shits and giggles I'll give you some highlights...they came to Ottawa angry that Biden closed their border (after all, they are a country down there, no?), and expected Trudeau to do something about it. Then the were mad that there were lockdowns, which PROVINCES implemented, again, not Trudeau. I can go on, but I think you either get the picture, or you're just not smart enough.

What "science has been debunked"? Explain it all for me. Let's see how they think in your bubble.

Wow, somebody's drunk the mainstream Kool-Aid.

"Climate change is a real thing and we pay for it one way or another."

The only way we're "paying for it" is through Marxist, stupidity-based taxes. Climate change is ongoing. Atmospheric carbon is NOT a threat: by historical standards, at present it's relatively low, at ~415ppm. We could actually use /more/ of it, in part to offset deforestation.

"The carbon tax is a conservative idea."

"Musk is a Nazi."

"The new authoritarian administration in the US is a real threat to Canada, much more than India or China."

Great article. Poilievre spoke for 1 hour and there’s a limit to how long these speeches should be. Obviously not everything fit into that hour and the foreign interference issue certainly does deserve attention! I’m confident though that this and other issues will be addressed in the upcoming campaign.

We already have energy self reliance, we produce more than we use. Nothing you are saying is inherently wrong. I just think that Pierre Polievre is incapable of being the guy that will navigate us through Trump and what comes after. This is more complicated than a 3 word slogan.

Ok Interprovincial trade… who has control over that the feds (Constitution Act s. 91) or the provinces (Constitution Act s. 92)? You tell me how M.

Poilievre's solution is to increase trade with the USA to increase our GDP and reach our 2% military target faster. News flash, we are in this horrible predicament because we trade too much with the USA which put us in a vulnerable position. PP wants to increase this trade making us more vulnerable? He is out of touch and has no idea what he is blathering about. He is out of touch with Canadians who have shown either their boycotting of American products, produce and travel that they want to distance themselves from Trump. Oh snd Trump wants 5% not 2% now.

I love this report! I've been waiting since 2015 for a reversal in course. Voters made a huge mistake voting for a boy in a man's suit that has completely squandered Canada's wealth. Poilievre may not have given the complete speach yet but something had to be saved for sometime near election. I think Poilievre has his thumb on the pulse of Canadians and so soon, very soon, I feel this politically maturing man, with a smart woman at his elbow, is going to explode the political landscape and be THE MAN Canada so desperately needs.

Expand full comment

When Poilievre is talking about Ana's family becoming hard-working refugees from Venezuela, I'm surprised he never mentions how the USA & CIA have interfered in Venezuelan elections and have made several unsuccessful coup d'tats. Most recently they attempted to shut Maduro out of their democratic elections.

The US have imposed unbelievable sanctions that have virtually destroyed their economy because America believes is has an exclusive rights on Venezulan oil and gas.

If he's going to talk about the tariff war with the USA, don't you think Canadians deserve to know about Venezuela. And if Trump has plans to re-take the Panama Canal to prevent Chinese trade, shouldn't Poilievre encourage him to deal with the Darien Gap first? Especially if drugs and illegal immigration is indeed Trumps priority.

I am really beginning to question whether Poilievre even has a Foreign Policy or, if he'll just continue doing whatever Washington tells us to do?

I have no faith in your faith. Pierre Polyester is nothing more than a cartoon villain, with 3 word slogans. Out of touch puts it mildly.

1. He wants to build a base in the Arctic...who will build it? Who will man it? Unaccompanied soldiers or families too? What about the tundra? The Inuit? The delicate environment? Goof comes to mind. 2. Mexico sends troops to the border. PP wants to do the same...only ours has been demiliartized since 1867. What would these soldiers do on our quiet isolated border?

3.He says he wants to increase trade with the USA so we can raise our GDP and be able to reach our 2% military commitment faster. Newsflash. We got in this vulnerable position at the whim of madman in Washington by having too much trade with the States. Has PP not noticed Canadians speaking with their wallets by boycotting USA hoods, produce and travel?

OUT OF TOUCH GOOF, Mr 3 word slogan cartoon villain.
