Rebel News- Chrystia Freeland says America is turning into a “predator” and that Canada needs to work with our nuclear-armed allies as the U.S. stops being the leader of the free world.
News From The Office Of No Shit Sherlock Statistics
A costly federal tax break meant to give holiday shoppers relief did little to help retailers, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) said.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the temporary suspension of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on select items, passed by Parliament at a price tag of $2.7 billion, failed to generate a meaningful increase in sales.
“In typical Canadian style, we ignored the Americans.”
Last year, the Trudeau government implemented a 3% tax on any digital services company – think Google, Facebook, or Netflix – that earns more than $20 million in Canada.
The Americans have opposed the tax since it was first proposed and the Biden administration threatened retaliation. In August 2024, the Americans filed a complaint under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement claiming it violated the trade agreement.
Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa
Chrystia Freeland’s Liberal leadership campaign has been targeted by “co-ordinated and malicious activity” traced back to a WeChat account accused of having ties to the Chinese government, according to the task force set up to monitor foreign election interference.
According to the Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force (SITE), which is made up of senior intelligence and security officials, the activity was traced to WeChat’s “most popular news account — an anonymous blog that has been previously linked by experts at the China Digital Times to the People’s Republic of China.”
The rest is here, with more from Sam Cooper.
Art Of The Deal
I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.
In addition, Canada is making new commitments to appoint a Fentanyl Czar, we will list cartels as terrorists, ensure 24/7 eyes on the border, launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering. I have also signed a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl and we will be backing it with $200 million.
Proposed tariffs will be paused for at least 30 days while we work together.
Great Success!
Now Is The Time At SDA When We Juxtapose!
President Trump says he agreed to “immediately pause” tariffs on Mexico for a month after a “very friendly” conversation with the country’s president Claudia Sheinbaum.
“I just spoke with President Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico. It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “These soldiers will be specifically designated to stop the flow of fentanyl, and illegal migrants into our Country,” he wrote.

And The Budget Will Balance Itself
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s get something straight: The Bank of Canada just made a desperate move to keep the illusion of stability alive in a country that is already spiraling into economic disaster.
Tiff Macklem, the so-called head of our central bank, just announced the sixth consecutive rate cut, slashing the overnight rate to 3%. On the surface, that might sound like good news for some. Cheaper mortgages, maybe a little relief on your debt. But let’s be real—this isn’t economic strength. This is a blinking red warning light that our economy is in free fall.
And here’s what they’re not telling you: The Bank of Canada isn’t just cutting rates. They’re restarting asset purchases in March — which, in plain English, means they’re turning the money printers back on. This is what central banks do when they’re out of real solutions. When they can’t grow the economy naturally, they inflate their way out of the problem. The same reckless policy that triggered the inflation crisis in 2021 is coming back, and they’re hoping you’re too distracted to notice.
So why are they doing this? Because Canada’s economy is collapsing…

Blacklock’s- Hit New Low Under Freeland
“The federal government’s ability or willingness to produce high quality, timely financial statements continues to deteriorate,” said a Budget Office report Fall Economic Statement: Issues For Parliamentarians. “It reached a new low this year with a historically long delay in the signing of Public Accounts by the Auditor General 253 days after the fiscal year ended.”

Desperate times call for desperate lies.
As former finance minister Chrystia Freeland prepares to launch a Liberal leadership bid, a source close to her [that would be Freeland] says scrapping the controversial consumer carbon tax will be one of her policy planks.
“She is ready to make difficult decisions to meet our emissions targets and make sure big polluters pay for their outsized emissions. But she will not fight Canadians on a policy they have been clear, they do not support,” the source tells CTV News. “That’s why Chrystia Freeland will replace the consumer carbon price with a system that will work within our federation and will be developed collaboratively with provinces and territories.”
Meaning, the consumer still pays the carbon tax and she thinks Canadians are idiots.
Feel The Love
Gradually, Then Suddenly
Fun fact: 🇨🇦’s last finance minister executed a wild accounting scheme that no one is discussing.
This reckless moved padded the pockets of corporate interests, artificially inflates gov revenue, & is partially responsible for the loonie’s plunge.
🧵👇 2/ One of her favorite moves was borrowing on behalf of corporate interests. 🇨🇦 wasn’t “giving” money, it borrowed for them.
It later forgave billions turning it into strategic corporate welfare & they refused to disclose for whom. But that’s another issue.
3/ the real issue was the real estate loans.

Blacklock’s- Stop Criticizing Says Freeland
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland yesterday appealed to MPs to stop questioning cabinet’s credibility on debt management. Freeland promised to update budget figures next Monday, a day before Parliament is scheduled to adjourn for a five-week Christmas recess.
National Post- The expiry date on what’s left of Freeland’s credibility looks like next week
“I think it is very important not to cast any doubts on Canada’s fiscal credibility,” she said. This from a finance minister who has never hit a fiscal target she has imposed on herself.
Great Success!
Blacklock’s- GST Holiday Costs 80% More
A GST holiday will cost 80 percent more than claimed by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, the Budget Office said yesterday. Analysts said Freeland failed to account for mandatory compensation owed provinces that harmonized their own sales tax collections with the GST.
Two in three Canadians think the federal government giving a $250 cheque to
working families is a poor (23%) or very poor idea (43%) while less than one
in five think this is a very good (six per cent) or good idea (nine per cent).
About one in two Canadians think the temporary elimination of GST and HST
on items like grocery store meals and internet bills is a very poor (32%) or
poor idea (19%), while about one in four think this is a very good (12%) or
good idea (16%).
I Saved Five Bucks?
No. No, you didn’t.
Blacklock’s- GST Benefit Worth Under $5
Cabinet’s GST holiday will save the typical Canadian $4.51, the Senate national finance committee was told yesterday.
“When it comes to retail, the average consumer will save approximately $4.51 over that two-month period per Canadian,” said Charlebois. “That is based on sales volumes.”
