Carney’s pitch: EU good. Trump bad.
Greek MEP Afroditi Latinopoulou has a very different assessment of the EU leadership.
Addressing European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Strasbourg:
“Ms von der Leyen, there is no greater racist against Europeans than you.”
“You flooded us with illegal migrants.”
“You suffocated us with taxes and bureaucracy.”
“You crushed our farmers, livestock breeders and fishermen.”
“You are shutting down Europe’s factories costing hundreds of thousands of jobs.”
“You destroyed the nuclear family.”
“You impose on us the Woke agenda. The Green Madness. The Islamisation of Europe.”
And then she turns to the scandals:
“Mired in scandals with serious allegations of corruption. Pfizergate. Missing messages and refusal to submit to scrutiny.”
Her closing verdict:
“Ms. von der Leyen, you have devastated us!”
This is the leadership Carney wants Canada closer to.
Canadians should listen to the complaints before swallowing the sales pitch.

163 CHILDREN RESCUED. SIX DAYS OF SILENCE.
Not even 30 damn seconds from major news media.
But a lake gets its name changed? BREAKING NEWS.
Don’t preach to me about “saving the children” when 163 rescued kids aren’t even worth 30 seconds of your airtime.
Your silence says everything.

Mark Carney and fellow globalists used the G20 to push plans that tap private savings and war spending to bankroll their green reset and centralized control. Canadians and others should reject this erosion of sovereignty and demand leaders who defend national wealth instead of surrendering it to international schemes.

Canadians need to understand what actually happened with the U.S. trade fight.
Most countries facing Trump’s tariffs sat down early, negotiated quietly, and protected their market access. Mexico did this from day one. They absorbed the insults, made targeted concessions, kept talking, and today about 85% of their exports still enter the U.S. tariff-free. They never turned it into a domestic political show.
Canada and China were the outliers. We chose visible retaliation and “Elbows Up” campaigning instead of early, serious negotiation.
Steel and aluminum timeline:
• March 2025: U.S. hits us with 25%. We retaliate.
• June 2025: U.S. raises it to 50%. We don’t match it.
• Fourteen months of rhetoric, ads, photo-ops, and delayed serious talks later: the rate is reportedly heading back toward 25%.
That’s not a victory. That’s a long, expensive trip back to where the problem started — after jobs were lost, businesses strained, plants hesitated to invest, and taxpayers propped up industries.
The Liberals ran on the image of the only people who could stand up to Trump. Early quiet deals would have looked like weakness to their base. So they prolonged the fight for political optics, framed it as crisis management, and only shifted to “stick-handling” once the economic damage became politically costly.
Mexico treated the United States as its biggest customer and negotiated accordingly. Ottawa treated the dispute as a campaign stage.
Result: we absorbed more pain, burned more time, and are now bargaining from a weaker position. Returning to “Ground Zero” after all that damage is not parity. It’s a net loss.
You don’t win trade wars with press conferences and slogans. You win them at the table — early, pragmatically, and without turning your own workers into collateral for domestic messaging.
That’s what happened. Canadians deserved better than a year of theatre followed by managed retreat.

🇬🇧 THEY TOLD YOU A STORY. 🇬🇧
Colonisers. Slavers. Oppressors. And you were supposed to feel ashamed.
Not for what you done... But for WHO YOU ARE. 🇬🇧
So we tested it. Britain wrote everything down, so we opened the books. 📖
Turns out fewer than 1 man in 10 could vote in the year Britain banned the slave trade. No woman could. Your ancestors could hang for stealing a sheep, get shipped across the world for petty theft, or go down a mine at 8 years old. In Manchester, the average age of death in a labouring family was 17.
They weren't running the slave trade. They were underneath it too.
Which is what makes what happened next worth knowing.
In 1772 an enslaved man named James Somerset walked free from an English court, because English law couldn't hold a slave.
In 1791, 300,000 families just stopped buying slave sugar. No march, no riot, just a decision made at 300,000 kitchen tables.
In 1792, 519 petitions carrying 390,000 names hit Parliament, most signed by people who couldn't vote themselves.
In 1807, Britain banned the trade.
Then the slave owners sent Britain a bill for the 800,000 people they still held. 💷 £20 million. About 40% of the entire government budget at the time.
The Treasury says it wasn't paid off until 2015. So if your family paid British tax before then, they helped buy 800,000 people their freedom.
From 1808 the Royal Navy spent 60 years hunting slave ships at sea: 1,600 stopped, 150,000 people freed, and 1,600 British sailors dead, mostly of disease, buried thousands of miles from home. ⚓
In 1816 they ended two centuries of Barbary corsairs enslaving Europeans.
In 1896 a war that lasted 38 minutes ended slavery in Zanzibar. 🇹🇿
Almost every country on Earth outlaws slavery today.
That fight was paid for largely at British expense, by British hands.🇬🇧
So why haven't you heard any of this?
Because within living memory, someone rewrote the story. You got taught the crime. Not the cure.
The powerful exploited the world. They exploited their own people first. It was those people who ended slavery. 🇬🇧
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
History got rewritten once, in living memory, by no one who was ever named or held to account.
We are ordinary people doing what ordinary people have always done. Opening the books. Refusing to look away.
This is how we fight back. Fact by fact. Story by story. Name by name.
We are the home of British heroes. There is a place for you in it.

This is a common impression from international travellers leaving @dave_eby's Vancouver
You can't street sweep away the mess you have caused over years, Premier
American tourists visiting Vancouver for the FIFA World Cup praised the stadium, the food and the people but said the one thing that will stick with them the most was something nobody warned them about.
After booking a cheap Airbnb in Chinatown steps from BC Place they described what they saw as “like World War Z with zombies walking all over the place” with open fentanyl use, people shooting up with needles and even came across someone outside a coffee shop they had to check for a pulse 😳
“The government does absolutely nothing about it”
Is this the lasting impression Vancouver wants to leave on the world stage? 🤔💭

@ElizabethMay. Is this true? I am shocked and appalled. Is Canada going to lose more of its manufacturing due to Net Zero policies. I see Bosch , a famous German manufacturer is leaving mainly due to energy costs.

The Speaker invited Reann Gasper, MLA for Abbotsford-Mission, to open the BC Legislature with a “prayer or reflection.”
She chose to sing:
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow.”
Beautiful.
The same people who tolerate endless political theatre will somehow melt down over 30 seconds of humility.
I don’t care.
Faith, gratitude, and prayer built more of this country than bureaucrats ever will.
This should become normal again.

On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 800 (overwhelmingly “white heterosexual”) men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went over the top.
68 answered roll call the next morning.
Now their male descendants can’t work at NL’s only university which was named in their honour.

Wilberforce got the statue.
This man got the mud.
Thirty-five thousand miles of it.
His name was Thomas Clarkson. Born in England. 🏴 Cambridgeshire. 1760.
He was twenty-four years old when Cambridge set him an essay question.
"Is it lawful to make slaves of others against their will?"
He knew nothing about slavery. So he started reading.
Two months later he couldn't stop. He won the prize and rode home to London with something nobody had given him. A conscience he couldn't put down.
Halfway there, on a quiet country road, he stopped his horse.
Sat in the silence of the English countryside.
The trade was real. He had just proved it. And somebody had to stop it.
So he gave up the church and got to work.
Bristol. Liverpool. Every slave port in Britain. Into the taverns, the back rooms, the ships. Asking sailors what they had seen below decks. Men who had been there. Who knew what happened on the Middle Passage.
Some refused. Some were threatened. Some were bought.
Clarkson kept riding.
Thirty-five thousand miles. Ten years. Every testimony written down in longhand on the road.
All of it handed to a young MP named William Wilberforce.
Wilberforce went to Parliament and gave the speeches.
Clarkson saddled up and went back out.
In 1792 they put a petition together. Not from London. Not from the powerful. From ordinary men and women. Market towns, village squares, chapel steps across England.
Four hundred thousand signatures. The largest petition in British parliamentary history.
Parliament voted it down.
So they went again. And again. Eighteen years of going again.
25 March 1807. The Slave Trade Act passed. Britain outlawed the trade and turned the Royal Navy loose to hunt the ships.
History gave Wilberforce the statue. Coleridge called Clarkson the moral steam engine of the abolition movement.
Clarkson lived to see slavery abolished completely in 1833. An old man of seventy-three, who had started this at twenty-four. He died in 1846. The last surviving founder of the original committee.
He never held office. Never gave the famous speeches.
He just got back on the horse.
For sixty years.
Did they teach you his name?
Together we keep our history alive.

When Confidence Costs Nothing
Once upon a time, confidence was a survival signal. If a hunter claimed he knew how to track elk but didn’t, the mistake got corrected quickly. Often fatally. Nature ran a brutal quality-control system.
So humans evolved a shortcut. We trust confident people because, historically, confidence usually meant competence.
That worked when reality punished frauds quickly.
Today? Not so much.
Modern politics has broken that feedback loop. In Ottawa and provincial capitals, you can be wrong for years and still collect a pension, a speaking tour, and flattering media coverage.
Confidence now costs nothing.
So it’s everywhere.
Look at Canada.
You have a federal Liberal government led by Mark Carney projecting calm technocratic certainty. Lots of polished language about “green growth,” “transitions,” and “inclusive prosperity.”
It all sounds confident.
But confidence isn’t evidence.
Canada’s economy keeps sending warning signals. Productivity is weak. Investment is leaving. Housing is out of reach for many young Canadians.
Those are outcomes.
Yet the messaging never changes. More programs. More regulation. More direction from Ottawa.
Always delivered with certainty.
The same pattern appears provincially.
In Manitoba, Wab Kinew and the NDP present themselves as practical reformers. The tone is reassuring. The announcements are steady.
But daily experience tells a different story. Healthcare wait times remain stubborn. Costs keep climbing. Bureaucracies expand faster than services improve.
Confidence again.
Results later.
Aristotle warned that political systems decay when rhetoric replaces practical wisdom. When sounding convincing becomes more valuable than solving problems, politics turns into theatre.
Canada has seen a lot of theatre.
Modern politics rewards performance. Speak smoothly, frame every issue as moral urgency, keep the messaging tight, and poor results can survive a long time.
Our instinct to trust confident leaders becomes a weakness.
Pierre Poilievre’s appeal makes sense in that environment.
He keeps pulling the discussion back to incentives, spending, housing supply, energy, and productivity. Not slogans. Outcomes.
Critics call that simplistic. Sometimes simplicity just means cutting through bureaucratic fog.
Canada doesn’t need better explanations for failure. It needs policies that work.
The real issue is accountability.
In the real world, mistakes carry consequences. A store owner who misreads the market goes broke. A farmer who ignores reality loses the farm.
Governments operate under softer rules. Failure gets renamed “transition.” Problems become “long-term strategies.”
And the confident speeches continue.
So the question voters should ask is simple.
Ignore how confident the politician sounds.
Ask what improved.
Are homes more affordable?
Are young families doing better?
Is the economy growing?
If the answer is no, the speeches don’t matter.
Confidence used to signal competence because the world punished incompetence quickly.
In politics today, that punishment only arrives when voters decide it’s time.
