Trudeau now thinks Trump is not joking about taking over Canada.

I think this whole tariff thing about drugs has been smoke and mirrors from the beginning, and now so, too, does the Canadian government.

TORONTO, Feb 7 (Reuters) – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday said U.S. President Donald Trump’s talk about absorbing Canada “is a real thing” and is linked to the country’s rich natural resources, a government source said.

I would like to point out I wrote a column about this two weeks ago that got little attention, likely because it was swamped by inauguration day. But it seems reality is catching up. Here’s that column, talking about the fact one should not expect a takeover of Canada to be peaceful. Now I realize a lot of people on here might think the US taking over Canada would be the best thing ever. Not everyone shares that opinion. I spoke to a few people today who used to wear a uniform and humped a pack, and they independently told me they’re basically oiling their rifles and sharpening their knives. And both pointed out that two thirds of international war crimes legislation was written as a result of Canadian actions in prior wars.

(Kate, coming in late: Setting aside Trudeau’s political Hail Mary into the end zone of Canadian paranoia, I think the jittery riflemen can stand down. Beijing has no intention of selling Canada to Trump.)

Crazy Talk

When Canadians talk about what to do about the current trade spat, is it too much to ask for the insane strategies, like cutting off electricity to the US, to be taken off the table? Or do we not mind cutting off our own electricity too?

According to documents filed with the B.C. Utilities Commission, BC Hydro imported 13,600 gigawatt hours of electricity in fiscal year 2024, at a cost of nearly $1.4 billion.

“It’s very disturbing that British Columbia’s now relying on 25 per cent of our electricity to come from outside the province,” Barry Penner with the Energy Futures Institute told Global News.

“Most of that’s from the United States…

Armstrong Economics- Trump Tariffs – The Art of the Deal

The real bombshell is more likely to be Europe, which has been so anti-Trump with all the media swearing Trump as a felon could never win. Interestingly, some $82 billion in gold has left the London Market and moved to NYC warehouses. Why? They fear a Trump tariff will be applied to everything, including gold. In reality, this could lead to a shortage of gold for Europe if the EU imposed tariffs on anything and everything coming from the United States, including gold.

True North’s Rachel Parker discusses the recent tariff drama with the popular Canadian vlogger, David Freiheit. Based on what I’m seeing from my many Canadian friends, TDS and anti-American hatred is definitely at an eleven! It’s a reminder of how easy it is to get sheeple to do whatever the elites want them to.

Update: Rachel Parker discusses tariffs with Ezra Levant.

Nine years ago, the Obama Administration announced that Title IX, passed in the 1970s, actually required all schools in America to let men into women’s bathrooms and onto women’s sports teams. Conservatives who tried to fight back were told not to bother, and threatened with boycotts or worse. We were told the culture war was over, and we lost.

Today, as I write this, President Trump is signing an executive order to bar men from women’s sports. The defeatists and quitters were wrong. Trump and the fighters were right.

Billboard Chris is there to witness it.

AG Pam Bondi orders DOJ to pause all federal funding for sanctuary cities , plus;

“The discretion afforded Justice Department attorneys with respect to those responsibilities does not include latitude to substitute their personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election,” the memo states.

“When Justice Department attorneys refuse to faithfully carry out their role by, for example, refusing to advance good-faith arguments or declining to sign briefs, it undermines the constitutional order and deprives the President of the benefit of his lawyers,” the memo continues.

Bondi, in the memo, states that “any Justice Department attorney who declines to sign a brief, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Trump administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Justice Department’s mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination.”

Bondi is set to establish the “Weaponization Working Group,” which will review the activities of all law enforcement agencies over the past four years to identify instances of “politicized justice.”

The working group’s first reviews will include prosecutions against Trump led by former Special Counsel Jack Smith; Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg; and New York Attorney General Letitia James, who brought the civil fraud case against Trump and his family.

And abuses against J6 protesters.

Nation Shrugs as Godzilla Eats Washington

On NBC, former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) official Michael Schiffer wailed that the beheading of his former organization would cause national security to “erode.” His quote came as USAID’s budget has been cracked open and Americans are leafing, transfixed, through its colossal library of crazy-ass contracts. From $39 million for “Gender Equality in Water, Power, and Transportation” to “Recognizing the Third Gender in Bangladesh” to “Ukrainian Resilience Through Fashion” to a “TransFormation Salon” to a pre-Taliban plan to help “Afghan Women Enter the Financial Sector,” it’s a bottomless pit of “I don’t want to pay for that.”

A trip through USASpending.gov led me to an “art therapy” contract whose deliverables include things that look like (but can’t be, of course) suggestive pics of queer teenagers…

Jeff Carlson;

USAID is done. From their website:

On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).

Reuters- Trump, in shock announcement, says U.S. wants to take over Gaza Strip

“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump told reporters. “We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.”

“If it’s necessary, we’ll do that, we’re going to take over that piece, we’re going to develop it, create thousands and thousands of jobs, and it’ll be something that the entire Middle East can be very proud of,” Trump added.
