October 24, 2024 Toronto Star- These witches are trying to use their power to defeat Donald Trump
Armed with orange candles, tarot cards, and a not-so-flattering photo of the former president, they cast a spell to block his return to the White House. The final words of their synchronized ritual — “You’re fired!” — echo as Trump’s image burns to the ground.
Calgary Herald- Bloc Quebecois sides with Alberta against using energy as bargaining chip in trade dispute with U.S.
The leader of the Bloc Quebecois says Canada is playing with fire by suggesting it could cut oil or electricity exports to the United States if President Donald Trump makes good on his promise to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.
More at Wattsupwiththat: It is ironic that the day after President Trump essentially moved to nullify U.S. Climate Policy, the coldest and deepest winter storm in over 40 years descends on the country.
Read the whole thing.
Ross McKitrick- Poof. Canada spent $50b + in subsidies to build unwanted products for a market that just vanished.
Everyone is focused on the US withdrawal from Paris and the tariff threat, but several other Executive Orders yesterday will have even more radical impacts and will require Canada to rethink all our energy and climate policies in response.
Blacklock’s- Poor Passport Service Persists
“Service Canada continued to experience system outages that impacted the intake, processing and print systems,” said the December 12 note Passport Service Delivery Update. “These outages had negative effects on the overall program and impacted performance which resulted in fewer passports being issued to clients.”
Poor service persisted though the passport office increased its payroll 87 percent in 2023, from 1,391 employees to some 2,600, according to records.
Globe and Mail, Jan 15 – Nearly 50,000 foreign students listed as ‘no-shows’ by Canadian schools
Bloomberg, Jan 21 – India’s government is prepared to work with Donald Trump’s administration to identify and take back approximately 18,000 Indian citizens residing illegally in the United States
And this may be the roadmap.
The deadline…
Canada has been given until Feb 1st to make a satisfactory deal to stop the flow of fentanyl and illegal migrants across the US border to avoid a 25% tariff on Canadian goods moving into the US.
My prediction is the Liberals will make damn sure that Canada doesn’t get a deal.
The Liberals will sacrifice the economy and Canadian workers to make sure they can run a political campaign against Donald Trump and, of course, Alberta. The Liberals will divide Canadians just like they did during Covid with their vaccinated vs. unvaccinated election campaign. This time it will be the corrupt Liberals presented as “Team Canada” and everyone who is against them as “traitors”.
Any premier that aligns with the Trudeau Liberals should be treated as just as guilty as the Liberals themselves.
This is what we get for having a government that wants to destroy Canada and rule over the ashes.
Be warned.

Carl Benjamin shares some insightful thoughts about the next 4 years in America.
These days, an elected official who engages in anything less than lockstep, verbatim repetition of the official narrative regarding residential schools, land acknowledgements and so, no matter how well explained and carefully considered their argument might be, is guaranteed to be branded a racist or potentially removed from their post.
“Over the past 70 years it has transitioned to native, Aboriginal, First Nations, Indigenous,” Coffey said. “I find that reductive, and it dismisses the rich cultural diversity and unique identities within Indian communities.
Coffey also praised both the intentions and the outcomes of Canada’s former residential school system.
