Danielle Smith implies not necessarily separation, but separation if necessary. Smith throws down a citizen-led separation gauntlet in her demands Ottawa meet Alberta’s demands. Here’s her speech, verbatim. The video is embedded.
JD Vance Was Right
Free speech and democracy are effectively dead in Germany. It has now become very clear that one must be a member of the UniParty or else you’ll be accused of being “far right” and banned from running for office. The gents at the Lotus Eaters are disgusted by this latest chapter in Germany’s history.
To save the German people from the totalitarians running their country, perhaps the American government needs to start tariffing Germany, say starting at 50% and then increasing by 25% every month until the amount reaches 200%. Plus, all German politicians involved with this fiasco against the democratically supported AfD, should be banned from traveling to America if this isn’t resolved by year’s end. After all, this isn’t the first time that America has saved Germany from itself.
Mmmmm….Pork!
In the coming months, everyone should prepare themselves for a massive expansion of what constitutes a “nation building” project.
At a meeting in March with the premiers, Carney asked them to identify “nation-building projects.” Ford’s letter sets out his list of areas he wants the federal government to prioritize “that would be transformational for Canada’s economy.”
But the “nation-building” project drawing the most attention is a driver and transit tunnel expressway under Highway 401.

Are Woke San Franciscans About to Get Some New Neighbours?
It’s not clear if Trump is just trolling, but this is sure to drive the wokest of the woke absolutely mad:
President Donald Trump is calling for the notorious prison and now historical landmark, Alcatraz, in San Francisco, California, to be rebuilt larger and reopened to house the country’s most ruthless and violent criminals.
Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday evening.
“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!” the president said. “For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering.
“When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm,” Trump continued, adding that it’s supposed to be this way. “No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.”
On a positive note, given how much Democrats appear to LOVE the most violent rapists & murderers, placing these folks next door to their admirers is a match made in heaven! Yet, amazingly, they’re not happy with this idea! This is reminiscent of the ultra wealthy Martha’s Vineyard residents, with plenty of extra space in their mansions, yet ensured the illegal migrants were escorted off their precious island within 36 hours! One might come to the conclusion that “Woke Leftist” actually means “hypocrite”!!!
Finally, Kenji, as SDA’s de facto SF Bay correspondent, would you be open to weaving a red carpet for your new neighbors?
Moe on energy, trade and federal election, Trump on Canada
It took a while for me to get this video edited, but here was Scott Moe’s first public appearance after last week’s federal election. He was speaking at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference.

Thoughts about Canada from Across the Pond
“They really just are angry non-Americans. That’s the Canadian identity at this point. Canadian anti-Americanism used to be the flip side of something more positive, namely expressed by the British loyalist tradition. It didn’t actually used to be so bad. Now it’s just a demented, directionless anti-Americanism. It’s intensified by the fact that it’s Trump’s America. Canada has deliberately been hollowing out its identity since the 1960’s. Now it’s very much multiculturalism, we like maple syrup, and we’re not America. This is not a good recipe for holding together a national identity.”
— As expressed on a recent episode of Podcast of the Lotus Eaters

Poster Girl for Urban Bigots
With a definite warning that you may become dumber for watching this, here is Deborah Frances-White interviewed by the gents at Triggernometry.
Early on, she states that a cult is “any group that won’t let you leave with your dignity intact”. You mean, like every Leftist group the world over?!
The vast majority of people on X, can’t believe how utterly stupid her arguments are!

Andrew Doyle- Iceland has abandoned free speech
It sometimes feels as though the woke movement has finally been derailed, and the world is gradually tottering back towards sanity. We’ve had the Cass Review, the recent Supreme Court ruling that sex cannot be changed with a certificate, Trump’s executive orders to uphold women’s sex-based rights, and various sporting bodies banning men from participating in women’s sports.
And yet a few strongholds are persisting with their regressive notions, most notably Canada and Australia. But Iceland might also be one of the worst offenders.

If you’re old enough, you fondly remember this scene from This is Spinal Tap.
Trump has quite intentionally said some things about Canada that are certain to raise the TDS levels of Canadians to 11 … or even 13!!!
Trump's full comments on Canada on Meet the Press.
Says he will talk 51st state with Carney, asked about needing military force to annex Canada. pic.twitter.com/8jWmCc8P5c— Brian Lilley (@brianlilley) May 4, 2025
There’s at least one thing that Leftist Americans & Canadians have in common
They both HATE Donald Trump much more than they’ve ever loved their own country!
In the case of Canadians, they’re about to learn a very painful lesson . . . which has very little to do with the American President.
These stickers are available on Amazon. Buy some for your TDS-suffering friends & family members, encouraging them to publicly celebrate their 24/7 hatred!

David Clinton- Who Owns Canada’s Public Debt?
By all accounts, an 11 percent share in a government’s debt counts as leverage. Given China’s recent history, our ability to act independently in international and even domestic affairs could be compromised. But it could also be destabilizing, exposing us to risk if China’s economy faces turmoil which could disrupt our ability to roll over debt or secure new financing.
Mark Carney’s plan to add another 20 percent to our debt over the next four years will only increase our exposure to these – and many more – risks. Canadian voters have made an interesting choice.
