I want the name of the school.
SE Regina elementary school students recently had a surprise visit from a heavily "Pregnant Man" after they were escorted into the classroom – all w/o parental knowledge or consent. Kids left confused/disoriented.
Who does this to little kids?

Mexico may need to temporarily give up some of its sovereignty and invite U.S. Special Forces into their country in order to destroy the drug cartels.
On the other hand, to solve most of Canada’s problems, the Governor General just needs to invite Apu & Krusty the Clown to replace Trudeau & Singh.

15+ years ago, Bill Kristol was generally viewed as an outspoken DC pundit who defended conservative principles, looking out for the best interests of America. But, in 2015, he caught a bad case of TDS and has been the poster boy for RINOs ever since.
However, in recent days, the investigations going on at DOGE have revealed that there has been another reason, a financial one, fueling Kristol’s animosity towards Trump and MAGA. Follow the money!
In a war that few are talking about at the moment, it seems that things are not looking good for the Ukraine.
Then, while he was defending a ruined building, a panel fell on his shoulder. After receiving injections to reduce the pain, he was told to return to the front. “I realised I’m nobody. Just a number,” he said.
In May that same year, Viktor left his position to seek further medical treatment. He did not come back. His commander marked him down as awol. Viktor is one of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers who have abandoned their units. The exact figure is a military secret, but officials concede the number is large.
BREAKING: Trump blinks! Canada gets 30 day tariff reprieve based on border plan
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.

OMG the DNC is a complete joke! They should rename the DNC to the MIP = Mental Illness Party.
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.

They really didn’t think this thing through. Again.
Blacklock’s- 44% Of Pension Fund In USA
The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board did not comment. Only 12 percent of Canadians’ pension premiums, a total $77.2 billion, are invested in Canada, according to Board figures. A total $297.1 billion or 44 percent are in the United States followed by Asia Pacific countries (20 percent) and Europe (19 percent).
However the Board did sell off investments in Chinese coal companies after cabinet mandated emissions targets under its climate program.
Critics of Trump typically assert that his political moves are motivated solely by a desire to be a bully, but in reality there’s a fairly complex political ideology behind them. It’s not new and it’s been in the works for decades, as Julius Ruechel points out in this Substack essay. No matter what you think of Trump, it’s important to understand the ideas that motivate him and his supporters. And it’s clear that Trump is not a fan of limited government.
In [Bannon’s] view, the only question was whether the future would be populist nationalism or populist socialism.
The populist nationalist is essentially Trump’s “Make America Great Again” or Putin’s conservative nationalism — state-regulated capitalist nation-states unashamedly acting to defend their national interests and acting for the collective benefit of their own citizens, much as nations have always done, but with both military and corporate might harnessed to an even greater degree to defend national interests and optimize society. Individuals and businesses inside the “national fortress” are largely left in peace to pursue “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” within the confines of the nation’s sandbox as long as their activities don’t impinge on national interests, even as the largest corporations are incentivized and/or coerced to pursue objectives that the political leaders believe will serve the country as a whole…

Via email;
The Canadian trucking industry will be destroyed by the tariffs. Most of the industry is dependent on cross border shipments. Stopping or slowing those shipments for even a few weeks will force countless companies into bankruptcy.
The vast majority of shipments in North America are moved by small carriers with fleets of 3-30 trucks. I deal with dozens of these companies everyday. All of them rely on factoring companies for operating capital, they have no cash reserves. Many have told me in conversation they have refinanced their homes and sold vehicles to keep their companies afloat. Tariffs will drastically reduce freight volumes in an already slow market, this will drive down freight rates even further in what has been the longest soft freight market in the history of trucking. With no cash reserves these companies will fold.
The tariff issue will be resolved, but not until the government feels they have made all the political hay possible. So what comes next? Skyrocketing freight rates as shippers scramble to catch up and can’t find trucks to get products to market.
There isn’t a good end to this other than securing our border and cracking down on fentanyl production & distribution. We should be embarrassed that our neighbour had to ask.
More, from Gord Magill;
Setting trade and economic arguments aside, one of Trump’s numerous complaints about Canada has been Canada’s wide open door policy to immigration, which has caused a massive increase in illegal migrants crossing the border from Canada into the United States. These lax policies were shared by the Democrats in the US, and opposition to these policies were a major component of Trump’s mandate. Another problem Trump has with Canada is drug smuggling, as the United States has been suffering under a major opioid crisis for decades, amongst other despair inducing addictive substances.
These two issues overlap, and they also overlap with the Canadian trucking industry.

Watch the polls though. It seems that a large number of Canadians are fully against Trump and supporting the Lieberals. Trudeau & Carney would rather accelerate the ship towards the iceberg, rather than change anything with the way the country is being governed.
Blackie’s Canada: Blame the Liberals. Shopify CEO defends Trump. Fraulein Freeland at CNN. The only important thing is that the Liberals must win the election. Dictator won’t recall parliament.
Woke America: Kennedy’s confirmation hearings. Scrubbing out transgenderism.

Forgive me for this being a rather personal post, but hopefully you’ll quickly understand why I’m making it. Twitter and Facebook have been on fire this past evening. As a Canadian, who spent most of my life living across Canada, but the last 11 years living across America, I think I have a rather fortuitous vantage point to observe, listen, and comment on viewpoints from a wide cross section of people. As this earlier post suggests, and posts from many Canadian friends confirms, it seems that almost all Canadian normies are only capable of first-stage thinking when it comes to anything related to Trump. While he is playing 4D chess, they’re playing checkers.
A Canadian woman married to an American was complaining in a Facebook post that her American in-laws were “making really mean comments about Canada”. I thought about this for awhile and then shared the following with her:
We each are the sum of our own experiences, right? I was born & raised in Vancouver, but lived 2 years in Northern Manitoba, 5 years in Northern Ontario (visiting Toronto often), and 16 months in Montréal. I’ve now lived 11 years in America, the first 6 in San Francisco and the last 4 across the country in all 48 contiguous states.
While in America, of course I get the usual jokes:
But, I’ve generally been well received by 99.9% of all Americans I’ve met (actually 100% but I’m leaving open the possibility of some idiot one day). If anything, there are more concerns about my California license plate and the arrogance that too frequently comes with that.
But throughout my life in Canada, and now upon my visits back there, wayyyy too many Canadians don’t hold back with THE NASTIEST, most passive-aggressive comments I’ve ever heard. I didn’t think the anti-American comments of Europeans could be topped but a whole lot of my fellow Canadians have done so without fail.
I fully accept and respect that the experiences of others may be different. I’m just sharing my truth.
Dear SDA commenters, what have been your experiences of Canadians talking about Americans and vice-versa?
