Canadians Running Towards the Edge of the Abyss?

Here, Brian Lilley conducts a very interesting, very timely interview with Steve Bannon. Is he spewing out nonsense or truth pills?

Imagine playing this video for a group of people at a rural Tim Hortons or an urban Starbucks. What would be the reaction? Might it be the case that Canadians are playing checkers, while the Trump Administration is playing 4D Chess? By the way, Brian Lilley is a friend of SDA. You can email him directly with your thoughts.

Update: Here’s the latest podcast from Lilley, providing the larger context of what occurred with the premiers in DC recently.

  1. The “iron dome” of navigable waters. Thank you President Trump. It’s bad enough that my grandkids are being taught Spanish in Pre-K … but I don’t want them HAVING to learn Cantonese too.

  2. Since China has been involved in Canada since Trudeau the Elder was in office Lilley’s interview comes as no surprise. Bannon’s encapsulation of the global situation sums up our position entirely. We have been a vassal state since our inception, first to the United Kingdom and then to America. The last ten years of Liberl/Democrat governance was all the proof that Trump needed to convince him and many Americans that to ensure American safety and prosperity, America had to install a buffer zone around North America. Canada has been unable to field a defence since the late Forties instead relying, like all of Europe on American magnamity. Problem is that America can no longer afford to police the world and Trump told us this in his first term of office. Nobody listened, well we better start listening now because the Republic of China as much as we don’t want to admit it is firmly established in Canada, and that is a threat to America. For the up and coming leaders of the Liberal party to now announce and back Canadian patriotism is weak tea in the tea-cup storm that is brewing. We either become part of a United North America or we become cannon fodder and battleground debris. Hard decision, eh!

    1. Antenor, you nailed it.
      I have been saying for quite some time now, to those who listen (like my longsuffering wife), that Trump’s essential beef is that the USA is book ended by China, and that can’t abide.
      Geopolitics is 4 D chess.
      Our continent needs to cleanse itself of what Manchurian sock puppets have wrought.
      Think about our continent and unite its flag.
      HONK.

    1. Yep – Nice guy – used to be a regular at Darcy McGees on Elgin st in Ottawa.
      Turned out to be part of the 80% retards in Canaduh.

      1. Lilley, whatever.
        Like Saint Paul said, and to paraphrase…who cares who is preaching it as long as it is truth.

    2. Ignoring what is said about this issue is childish. It’s common among leftists which is why they remain stupid.

    3. Whatever you think of Lilley, the message from Bannon needs to be heard by Canadians. Canadian media have put their fingers in their ears saying “La La La” and are just not aware of what’s going on in the world. It’s time for Canad to become a serious country again. They’ve turned into a joke.

    4. Yeah I had some major issues with him and COVID. Maybe if he admitted he acted like a brain washed ass and apologized I might change my mind.

    5. We don’t all have to agree on every little thing to be on the same side of the big things.

      You quickly find yourself alone that way.

      1. Agreed. As I used to say to my daughter, if everyone has to measure up according to your yardstick, you are going to be very lonely.

    6. Brian Lilly isn’t saying anything – Steve Bannon is doing all the talking.

      …and don’t forget that Ron DeSantis, Gov. of Florida, was way out ahead of Trump on the Wuhan Fauci Flu and the phony “Vaccines”, school closings etc. He ended that in a few months while Trump was dissing him. Trump has learned lot since then. He’s transactional not ideological.

      Canada has a choice to make. Be a partner with the US or a slave to China, and if Canada picks the latter, then the US has one choice to make.

  3. I guess they will be putting the 2 alarm bells system back in schools like in the 60’s and the air raid sirens . 1 bell for fire , 2nd bell for Nuclear Attack + Fall out . Any way you look at it , Canada will be in the middle . Kiss your _ss good bye .

    1. We have always been in the middle, go look at a map. Do we look like a plump plum waiting to be picked ? , tons of resources and no way to defend them . Use your head not your heart.
      Alberta and Saskatchewan should jump at this. B.C. and Manitoba would come along , Maritimes would be next. Ontario will wake up, and let’s leave Quebec and their dairy farmers behind, it’s what the have always wanted.

    2. I remember the air raid sirens in Toronto and the get under the desk drills in elementary school in the event of a possible nuclear attack by the USSR.

  4. No positive end game with playing hardball with the USA.. We either lose or we get invaded..
    —-
    Like Ukraine vs Russia.. The rest of the world will just watch our grinding misery.. Even offer support.. But when push comes to shove.. We will be on our own..

    True..

  5. People don’t like Brain Lilley. I get it. But you should be watching this to hear what Steve Bannon has to say.

    It’s a good interview and good food for thought. Bannon’s talking about things hardly anyone else has clued into yet.

    1. Why? He hasn’t had any special insight into Trump – or anything else as far as I can tell – since very early in the first Trump administration.

      1. Bannon spent two weeks in Mar a Lago during transition. He is close to Trump, and one of the most important voices in MAGA. He is a serious strategic thinker, and has been involved in Brexit, Orban’s Hungary and Bolsonaro’s Brazil.

        You can choose not to listen, but that isn’t smart.

        1. As but one example, around January 11th this year Steve Bannon did an interview saying “I will do anything to keep Elon Musk out of the White House,” and that he would have him “run out of here by Inauguration Day”. It was quite colourful. It was with the Italian Corriere della Sera, and re-reported widely from Forbes to MSN to Brightbart.

          Well, we all know how that worked out.

          I’ve noticed a pattern of this. So no, I don’t take him as a serious indicator of what Trump is thinking or is going to do.

  6. China is more focused on raw materials from the Arctic. The most recent effort in that arena was China bidding on a gold mine in Nunavut back in 2020. They were, ultimately, turned down due to national security reasons. But, 97% of the shareholders on the mine were OK with the sale before the bid was removed. That’s how they operate. They establish a foothold, and then exploit their presence. You can see the same technique applied around the world with fishing rights. China over-fished their own waters, and are now buying rights in places like Yemen and the Gulf of Mexico (sorry, I’m not on the Gulf of America bus) etc. In the US, given the right to purchase farm land, they promptly started buying land adjacent to US Military installations.

    China doesn’t have “beach front” claims on the Arctic. They, actually, call themselves a “Near Arctic Nation”…which is just a made up term to seemingly give credence to their presence there. They’ve entered into a coop of sorts with Russia. They want to get that foothold to eventually lay claim to the vast petroleum resources there.

    I’m curious as to how Canada stops the Russians or Chinese from just laying claim to Canada’s designated “beach front” and all the resources in that area. Your biggest Naval gun up there is a 25 mm.

      1. To get to the Canadian portion of the Arctic, Russia or China would have to go through the Northwest Passage without asking for permission. Naval defense is the applicable way to discourage such action.

    1. CAPTORS, but that would require the government to find a production line willing to make them, and that’s not happening any time soon.

      Maybe the Trudeau government shouldn’t have trained the Chinese in Arctic Warfare?

  7. Towards?

    For chrissakes we’re like that stupid coyote in the Roadrunner cartoon: 10 feet past the edge, blinking, and waving a little bye-bye…

  8. Imagine playing this video for a group of people at a rural Tim Hortons or an urban Starbucks. What would be the reaction?

    Played for the Productive Class in SK, I think it would be well received.

    Played for the Child Intelled Class in SK — the cities, the low info, low IQ, low impulse control crowd, in places like, say, Vonda — and it will not be well received. These people are all over Facebook posting cartoon beavers and Canadian flags and will certainly vote Liberal (at least) in any upcoming election. And sadly, such people are a majority in the western population. Tommy Douglas was not wrong.

  9. Canadian sheep, headed for a cliff.

    Adequate preparation would be ensuring all children learn to swim.

  10. Diagolon.
    Pass it on.
    Trump’s Secret Agenda.
    Trump was behind Diagolon.
    Trump is the Drug Sniffing,Time Travelling Goat.
    Diagolon,The Liberals were right,The Truckers were just cover for this shadowy takeover of Canada..
    Diagolon is real,put Jeremy back in jail.
    Its an Emergency.
    Wish this was sarcasm.

    Lilley thinks it matters to Trump if the Liberals are reelected.
    Heh Trump wins either way,all of Canada’s current leaders are children,Uni-Party Parasites.
    And the Liberals,with or without a new figurehead, are the weakest of the weak.

    Should “Bad Man Orange” win the Liberals power,the West will be even cheaper for the USA to acquire.
    Reelect the Liberals and we might even offer to pay the USA to take us as a territory .

    Still predict that Trump makes Western Canada an offer on months end..Which will roil Ottawa insanely.
    But maybe he will wait,until the Mark Carnage Liberals are imposed upon us ,by our eastern and Urban comrades.
    And then make a less generous offer,mere escape from the confederated Kleptocracy,complete with constitutional rights and freedoms.

    PP is prattling on to Brian as I type..
    “You can protest peacefully anywhere you want..”
    Unless you are a Canadian Trucker in Ottawa.

  11. L- Robert, ask Kate to pin this here long enough for enough to see through the Liberal (C.C.P.)
    ruse of : “Look, there’s a ground hog with a Stars and Stripes flag ! Make a snow fort!”

  12. Every male Chinese immigrant is still considered a Chinese citizen first by the CCP and should be considered a person that could be under foreign duress if shit comes to shove. Only stating a uncomfortable fact.

    It’s just a horrid mess.

  13. We would actually have resource development. we would have way more freedom, earn way more money. and pay significantly less taxes on it too boot. We haven’t had a serious leader with a national vision for this country in anyone living’s life. It’s time to admit honestly where we are as a people and a country and change course.

    1. Been a long time, and how many generations since the Turd senior started the infanitlization of Canada? Hard to make 60 year olds grow up. In many ways 30 year olds are more mature, they look at their futures and see no hope.

  14. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. We can’t change what has been and we’re stuck waiting for the chance to change what will be with an elusive election. Until then everyone is just flapping their gums and I’m tired of it. Wake me up when the writ drops.

  15. Canadian Navy?
    What Navy?
    Couple of undermanned, boiler busted rust buckets, tied up pier side ?

  16. I watched the interview. If Trump wants help for a defensive zone for North America why the hell is he pissing off the Allies he needs. He just forced us closer to China as an alternative to the US market.
