Where Did All of the Money Go, Gavin?

Baiting The Left Democrats Vast Right Wing Conspiracy 7 Comments

Absolutely disgusting news out of California:

Gavin Newsom gave his close family friends $500,000 from the Pacific Palisades fire aid relief money.

  • Getty family members donated over $500,000 to Newsom’s campaigns from his 1990s San Francisco supervisor run through his 2018 gubernatorial victory (e.g., bundled contributions via family trusts). This does not include the public J. Paul Getty Trust
  • The Getty family’s support has extended to Newsom’s political rise, with shared social circles including figures like Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Brown
  • Gordon Getty invested in all 11 of Newsom’s early ventures, holding lead stakes
  • A Getty family trust paid Newsom directly for investment consulting in the early 1990s
  • Gordon and Ann Getty provided undocumented gifts and low-interest loans for Newsom’s home purchases, including real estate in San Francisco

Why Do Some People Take Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Seriously?

Baiting The Left Democrats Great Moments In Socialism 21 Comments

In times past, I would have asked, “Does anyone actually buy the crap that AOC is spewing?” but it’s clear that many do.

A more apropos question is this: “What events have happened in the lives of those who believe the crap that AOC is spewing, such that they’re susceptible to such utter nonsense?!”

Two other related questions:

  1. Could someone like Ms. Ocasio-Cortez become the Prime Minister of Canada within one election cycle, proffering the socialist talking points that she endlessly does?
  2. Adam Carolla has suggested that people only listen to her because she’s attractive.  If she did look like Elizabeth May or Katie Porter, would she gain any electoral traction?

More on the Stellantis Departure from Canada

Baiting The Left The Libranos Vast Right Wing Conspiracy 14 Comments

Here’s an interesting video on Stellantis leaving Brampton, Ontario:

Big news out of Ontario, as carmaker Stellantis (Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep) announced it’s moving production at its Brampton, Ontario plant to the United States.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is of course blaming Donald Trump’s trade policies for the move. But wasn’t it Carney who promised that he would be able to quickly negotiate a good trade deal for Canada if Canadians elected him PM?

And don’t forget how Carney has recently started touting that Canada already has the “BEST” trade deal with the US (auto workers in Brampton would probably beg to differ today…).

Predictably, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is lashing out, denouncing Trump as a “TYRANT” while demanding that Carney hit the Americans back.

Is this the smartest strategy for Canada? How are other countries seemingly managing to negotiate trade deals with the US while Canadians are left waiting?

And all this is happening as the Canadian and Ontario governments have collectively pledged $52.5 BILLION tax dollars to auto makers for electric vehicles and battery plants – despite consumers seemingly not wanting to buy EVs!

Joining Mark today to discuss is political commentator and business owner Mario Zelaya.

Mark and Mario also talk about a rumour that the Liberals are preparing to back away from their gun seizure plans. Could that actually happen, or is this just wishful thinking?

Poland vs. Woke Western Failures

Baiting The Left Vast Right Wing Conspiracy 13 Comments

This recent article shows how Poland has steadily climbed economically and will soon be exceeding economic output in the UK:

Twice does not quite cover it. In 1995 Poland’s GDP per capita was $13,600 in today’s money — about 36 per cent of Britain’s and roughly the same as Brazil’s. Today Poland’s figure is $44,500, or 81 per cent of ours. It may soon pull level. Since the end of 2019 Britain’s GDP per capita has grown by less than 1 per cent in real US dollars. Poland’s has grown almost 18 per cent, nearly twice as much as that of the US.

The Middle East’s Ancient Hatreds Have Given Way to Scorn by Clueless Canucks

While historic changes are occurring in the Middle East, the petty grudges of ignorant Canadians are still ongoing and some are noticing:

Canadian officials went so far as to ban American spirits from their store shelves, a prohibition that still exists in many provinces today.

“This was all about some ugliness that we’re not part of,” Moore said. “We’re not in politics. We’re just some guys in Virginia making good whisky. But unfortunately, we’re the victims.”

Canadian visitors by land to the United States have plunged 31% so far this year through the end of September, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada. Air travel by Canadians is down by 13%.

“The tough thing for us is, it’s nothing we’ve done. We’ve worked hard to grow our business and lure folks who want to come across the border,” Dame said. “Canadians just aren’t happy. It’s not economic policy. It’s these hurtful things said about their country.”
