    How are Avalonians living in Canada feeling about the impending tariffs? I was wondering how much they may/or not impact the cost of food prices - especially as we rely on the U.S and Mexico.

    A friend's husband used to work in the office at Maple Leaf Foods here in Ontario. (If you haven't heard of them, they process and package sliced deli meats etc). Anyway, he was telling me that despite the meat coming from Ontario pigs etc, Canada prepares the meat in sections for it then to be sent out and 'rendered' in China and then sent back to Canada to be prepared and packaged!!! This is insane just trying to get my head around the logistics of all this, and has got me thinking about how much back-and-forth between Canada and the U.S (and other countries) takes place during the process of manufacturing food. This must make tariffs really complicated. I don't buy packed deli meats, but I'm sure the packaging will say 'made in Canada' and technically it is up to a point with services from other countries.
    So there's extra attention needed when reading between the lines on labels if trying to buy Canadian at this time.
    This has been a problem for years. I have cut and pasted what the official language says about this practice (see below) of sending meats to China for processing. The truth of the matter is that both the USA and Canada can label their meat "American or Canadian" even though it has gone back and forth across the Pacific. The dirty little secret is that not only are these countries benefiting from the ridiculously low labour wages but the main reason for this practice is that they are avoiding all the regulations that American and Canadian slaughterhouses are forced to abide by.

    Trump is very much aware of this behavior. He discussed this at length during his first term and even put tariffs on Chinese products in place with this practice in mind.

    Quote American companies send chickens and meats to China for slaughter and then send it back to the USA primarily due to economic factors. The labour costs in China are significantly lower compared to the United States. According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, American poultry processors are typically paid around $11 per hour on average, whereas reports indicate that Chinese poultry workers earn between $1 to $2 per hour. This substantial difference in labour costs makes the processing of meat in China economically attractive for U.S. companies.

    Additionally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved the shipment of slaughtered chicken to China and back, allowing these products to be consumed in the U.S. This approval was granted after the USDA determined that China's poultry slaughter inspection system is equivalent to that of the United States, providing a similar level of food safety.

    However, concerns about food safety remain, given China's history of food safety scandals. Despite these concerns, the economic benefits often outweigh the risks for some companies.

    My friend's husband said that he and his colleagues were concerned that it's Canadian meat going out and lower quality meat from who knows where coming back. Apparently there is meant to be regulations and inspections to monitor this but I don't believe its in place these days

    My dear fellow Canadians. There is a lot going on in our beautiful country, including the tariff threat. I am not going to comment on that in this post.

    However I do want to share a must see interview exposing the "liberal party's Saviour" for "what (not who)" he really is. Please share with all your friends who are devoted lifelong liberal party supporters or simply don't like Pierre Polievre. Say YES to freedom and NO to the Davos agenda!

    Question:
    How many Sri Lankans in Canada?

    I remember six million wanting in after their resounding defeat. Google and wiki wants me to believe the number is 240,000. With only 26,000 in USA. Really?

    Given how our information networks are suspect at best, what do you think the true numbers are?

    a note from the PPC - The People's Party of Canada - from my inbox this morning:

    It’s important to understand that the 25% tariffs announced by President Trump today are NOT imposed on Canada — they will be paid by American consumers and businesses who buy goods imported from Canada. Tariffs are a tax, and Americans who will have to pay more or go without our products will be the first to suffer.

    Of course, Canadian exporters of these goods will as a consequence lose clients, contracts and sales, and will be forced to cut down on production and lay off workers. Or they will lower their prices to keep market shares and will see their profits diminish.

    Because 75% of our exports go south of the border, our economy will for sure be very negatively impacted by this.

    The stupidest thing our government can do however to deal with this crisis is to impose the same kind of tariffs “dollar for dollar” against US imports.

    The US economy is ten times bigger than ours, much less reliant on trade than ours, and much less dependent on our market than we are on theirs.

    Not only would retaliatory tariffs have much less impact on American exporters, they would immediately impoverish Canadian consumers forced to pay more for imported goods, as well as destabilize Canadian businesses that need inputs from the US in their production processes. It would more than double the harm of the US tariffs to our economy.

    Trade wars are bad for everyone, but they are much worse for a small country with fewer options. We simply cannot win a trade war with the US. It’s very unlikely that Trump will back down. All we will do is provoke a massive economic crisis in Canada, until we are forced to capitulate.

    Another self-destructive thing to do would be to set up giant “pandemic-level” bailout plans to support everyone affected by this trade war. This will simply bankrupt our governments even more than they already are and make us even weaker.

    So what should we do?

    1. Double down on efforts to control our border, crack down on fentanyl dealers, deport all illegals, and impose a complete moratorium on immigration, to answer Trump’s immediate concerns about Canada.

    2. Tell the US administration that we are ready to renegotiate North American free trade and put dairy supply management and other contentious issues on the table.

    3. Wait and see to what extent Trump is willing to keep tariffs in place despite the harm it does to the US economy. Despite his pretenses that Americans don’t need our stuff, the reality is that on the contrary they have few other options for crucial resources like oil, lumber, uranium and other minerals, etc. He will stop acting like a bully when he sees that he can get more results by sitting down and negotiating.

    4. To reduce our dependence on the US market, immediately implement an ambitious plan to tear down interprovincial trade barriers and help our impacted exporting industries find alternative markets in other countries.

    5. Immediately implement a series of bold reforms to make our economy more productive, including: reduce corporate and personal taxes, abolish the capital gains tax, abolish all corporate subsidies, get rid of excessive regulation, remove impediments to the exploitation and export of natural resources, drastically cut government spending, mandate the Bank of Canada to stop printing money and start accumulating a gold reserve to prepare for the global monetary reset (which is likely part of Trump’s plan).

    In short, instead of adopting a suicidal strategy to confront Trump, we must do what we should have done a long time ago to strengthen our economy and our bargaining position. The transition will be rough, but not as much as complete bankruptcy and disintegration.

    An opinion? A poster on another site commented that this sounds like perfect controlled opposition, that Trump is trying to save us and that tariff war is 100% intentional and orchestrated by the globalists. Trump and Trudeau are in 'the same game'???

    'Thinking aloud here about possible hidden agendas to this ridiculous tariff war 🤔

    Back in November, Trump called out crime, drugs, and border issues in Canada and threatened tariffs if they don't get fixed. Yet our govt simply ignored his demands, which basically ensured this would escalate into a full-blown tariff war.

    1️⃣ Their refusal to fix something so obviously broken suggests they wanted this tariff war. They are using Trump as cover for another agenda.

    If a govt wants to do something radical, it has to "sell" the idea to its citizens. Create a crisis. Fear sells.

    Doug Ford also immediately capitalized on the tariff war to call an early election in Ontario because voters who are scared rarely jump ship during a crisis - they want stability, not change.

    But back to the Liberals... if they have a nefarious agenda for a manufactured crisis, it helps to find a way to remove all the oversight that puts limits on their power during that crisis.

    So, interestingly, the Liberals prorogued parliament on January 6th - two weeks before Trump's inauguration, giving themselves the perfect cover to operate freely without parliamentary oversight during the upcoming crisis they themselves created.

    2️⃣ If you know a crisis is coming (because you're manufacturing it), timing prorogation just before the crisis guaranteed that the Liberals would have a blank check to do some "big" things under the cover of that upcoming crisis.

    Prorogation basically gave the Liberals dictatorial powers - no Question Period, no Parliamentary committees, full control over monetary issues, and a fearful public demanding those in charge "do something" to save them from the tariff war.

    But for what purpose?

    3️⃣ It might be as simple as this: an emergency allows govt to raid the public purse again with bailouts and printed money. COVID 2.0 As is already happening all over again.

    But it could also be cover for something more sinister.

    As you know from Stephen Punwasi's thread about money laundering in Canada https://x.com/StephenPunwasi/status/1885728293443256376 Canada is basically THE global money laundering hub for all sorts of crime. And there are serious questions raised about govt complicity in all of it.

    4️⃣ Maybe Canada couldn't meet Trump's demand to crack down on the drugs and crime because the govt is itself involved in them and would expose itself. One solution is to spark a tariff war to deflect and hope the whole thing blows over as Trump gets bogged down elsewhere. While they simultaneously raid the public purse with bailouts. Win-win.

    But there's more.

    Who will emerge as leader of the Liberals? One of the Davos globalists. Carney, Freeland, whatever, the whole party is a Davos cesspool - all the same ideology. Carney is most likely, and he's literally one of the new world order architects. If you haven't read about the vision he has planned for us, read this article - it's scary: https://nationalpost.com/opinion/pet...nt-be-pleasant

    But with an election scheduled for autumn at the latest, that doesn't give them much time since they have kind of worn out their welcome in Canada and aren't likely to win... Even parts of the adoring media were souring on them and were pushing for globalism-lite under a Poilievre govt.

    5️⃣But a big enough crisis would allow the Liberals to once again give themselves emergency powers - this time to delay elections to fall of 2026 (the max constitutional time limit between elections - Zelensky got away with suspending elections in Ukraine due to war - this is a lesser war but also not a complete suspension but rather just a delay within the existing confines of Canadian law. So not an unprecedented strategy - the public and courts might both go along with it without too much of a fuss.)

    The delay during a "crisis" would also allow them to rebrand themselves as Canada's noble crusaders who fought Trump while blaming the wreckage they caused on Trump's tariffs. It's a viable path to stay in power - it's basically the same one they used successfully during COVID elections.

    But that time delay during a crisis would also give them the cover to start implementing a more aggressive Davos agenda (to create their desired globalist technocratic surveillance state) under the guide of dealing with the "Trump" crisis. Trump is the perfect foil.

    For example:
    - Digital currency (allegedly to fight crime and track bailouts)
    - Censorship (allegedly to shut down pro-Trump traitors during a trade war)

    - increased govt control of industry

    - maybe even nationalize distressed industries

    - etc, etc - the crisis basically allows them to spin their wishlist - the worse the crisis, the more they can get away with.

    But the biggest item on the globalist wishlist is greater centralization under international technocratic organizations - UN, Davos, WHO, etc.

    Could that be achieved too?

    6️⃣ Despite the patriotic flag waving, govt-funded media has already started floating the idea of Canada joining the European Union as a plan to rescue Canada from Trump. https://thestar.com/news/canada/dona...e89591126.html

    In other words, the solution to protect Canada from losing its sovereignty to Trump's America is to... wait for it... give away our sovereignty to the most globalist organization in the world (the E.U.), which is literally stripping away the national sovereignty of European countries to bring them under the control of Brussels' technocratic
    dictatorship. 😵‍💫 Everybody gets to keep their flag even as they are actually subordinate states to the globalist technocratic govt in Brussels.

    In a big enough Crisis, could Canadians be shepherded into wanting to join the E.U.? Maybe. But the US would not let that happen because it violates their Monroe Doctrine, but Canadian leaders seem to have forgotten that doctrine exists, so they might try. It would probably trigger a complete crushing economic blockade to bring Canada back in line.

    7️⃣this leads to my final point - perhaps this isn't even all about Canada.

    Perhaps the cross-border Democrat-Liberal alliance (we know they are very cozy from Wikileaks revelations - and Minister Joly is currently in Washington doing photo ops with some of Trump's biggest enemies in the Swamp) is using Canada as a lever to further the globalist political cause back in America.

    The 2024 election was an attempt to install a globalist govt in America (The Biden/Harris campaign), but they failed. Now the globalists need a different way to stop Trump from installing his anti-globalist vision onto America.

    A big enough crisis would allow our Liberals to shepherd Canada towards some kind of technocratic treaty with other globalist countries in the E.U. to "fight back against Trump". Whether the technocratic treaaty happens or not is less important than Trump's response.

    If Trump looks like he's bullying Canada to stop this alliance in his quest to enforce the Monroe Doctrine to block the E.U. from gaining a foothold in North America, he'll look like an even bigger bully which might erode his support base at home, making it more likely that the Republicans lose the House and/or the Senate in 2026, which would hamstring his ability to keep imposing his anti-globalist agenda. So, it becomes about a strategy to win the 2026 Mid-Term Elections.

    Maybe a stretch... until you remember all the creative ways Covid was leveraged for many nefarious agendas.

    And make no mistake, there is a war on - Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio explicitly declared that the "global order is obsolete... and is being weaponized against us." Trump has declared war on Global Socialism and the Global Socialists are at war against Trump.

    These are the opening acts of that war. And Canada might just be the useful idiot in that war.

    Others have speculated that Trump's threat to annex Canada and Greenland is itself a different step towards one world govt. I don't think so. My sense, as I outlined in my recent article https://x.com/JuliusRuechel/status/1885309781143151030 is that Trump is trying to build Fortress America as the bulwark to stop the globalist vision from taking over America.

    Trump's "Fortress America" versus the "Global Socialists" - these are two opposite belief systems in an emerging global philosophical war, and they are about to collide in Canada as the battleground.

    Take all this with a grain of salt - I'm just exploring half baked ideas here, but the possibility that this manufactured crisis has a much deeper agenda than the simplistic narrative dominating the news is extremely high. We saw all of what Covid was used for - this most certainly also has many additional layers that we cannot yet see.

    By brainstorming the possibilities, it becomes easier to spot clues about what is going on behind the scenes and how things might evolve. We live in interesting times 😳

    As I watch this, (probably over simplified) thoughts keep coming up that we are well beyond politics now and "all this" is moving into a totally different arena where personal individual choices will need to be made moving forward. Feeling triggered.

    ....and now this. Sounds a bit like the "opinion poster" comment in Post 207 is playing out?

    https://x.com/JustinTrudeau/status/1...193022429?mx=2

    '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.'

    From a poster:



    'So I went researching today to find out what the US and Canada have been funding with our tax dollars and our grandchildren’s debt
    In Canada, the data is gone. (EDIT UPDATE - apparently the data is not gone. The server or infrastructure was down. Once the data is accessible, I will compile some of the Canadian data as well). In the US, Trump has issued an executive order to pause all funding until an audit has been completed. Then any “legitimate” funding, which isn’t political activism, funding media sources to promote the progressive agenda and is actually helping people in need will be resumed
    They are not only funding media outlets like the BBC, Politico and the New York Times for example - just to list a few. But they are also funding absolutely ridiculous progressive ideological initiatives
    The US has citizens suffering total devastation from hurricanes. LA is burning to the ground. These people are left devastated and with nothing. They could literally make all of these people whole with a fraction of the money they are spending on supporting and promoting their radical progressive ideologies
    In Canada, you have a record number of people falling into homelessness and poverty. Record numbers of people are losing their homes. Yet the Federal government has sent billions and billions offshore to fund their progressive ideological madness. Even domestically they waste money funding academia to write papers blaming white supremacy and colonialism for the firing of Don Cherry. Let’s not even discuss the billions they spend to fund the Canadian media to lie to you, mislead you, and of course to help keep the progressives in power
    Meanwhile, while researching this subject, it’s so difficult to get the relevant information. Every single media outlet and fact checker organization - which are being funded by these progressive government slush funds, are just writing slanderous nonsense. Millions are going to die with the suspension of this funding. Trump and Elon are responsible for the deaths of millions. On and on the Pravda state propagandists ramble. The fact that the USAID directly funded Corona Virus research in Wuhan isn’t even mentioned. Gee, I wonder why
    Canadians are dumber than fence posts because they accept the media as their “trusted source” of information. The magnitude, extent and co-ordinated degree to which they lie to you and mislead you is almost unebelievable
    Anyway. Here is a PARTIAL list of the nonsense the USAID has been funding (line item from their own books). No wonder the Liberals in Canada have taken this data down. Just imagine what I would have found if I had the chance to review it
    Isn’t this the stuff the media should be reporting to you and making you aware of? Strange that they not only refuse to do this, but relentlessly gaslight you into believing those exposing this information are crazy far alt right fascists responsible for the deaths of millions correct? Amazing times we live in

    I think this conversation deserves a listen (in this thread) even though both Trish and Liz should have checked their dash warning lights and fully released their hand brakes.

    For one thing, Liz should have mentioned that the military department of propaganda in the UK was shut down 5 years after they got the BBC up and running, with a secret service office inside the BBC main building instead.

    I have named Carney, The Turncoat Turnstile Traitor.

    What kind of crazy would vote for a guy who simply and naturally moves from being one country's high ranking official to the leader of another country.
    No one with half a brain cell can vote for him. Which means that the Liberals know they will not win this election coming up so why waste 'good' candidates.
    But what he does get out of it is being an unelected Prime Minister of Canada until the new elections.
    Who knows, with a little chicanery the election could easily be stolen. After all, Dominion's head office is in Canada - gotta get something out of that.
    Imagine, USA is getting its sh!t together after over 150 years, but Canada is still clinging to the 'woke' agenda that is destroying this country.
    What a clown show - while Polievre pretends to suddenly care. Where was he during the lockdowns, the illegal war measures act, debanking conservatives, gaytime storytime for children, males pretending to be females in female sports and bathrooms, etc.

    Watch Raging Dissident, Jeremy MacKenzie, on Rumble to get a clear idea of the viewpoint of the average actual Canadian Patriot.

    Canada is lost, not a chance it can be saved.

    The best we can hope is that we become part of the USA, so as to dilute the irreparable harm brought about by Canada's out-of-control immigration.
    Canada has become a place of no culture, no identity, no patriotism, no pride except for degenerate behaviour - for which we fly a flag on the same pole as the Canadian flag and celebrate 'black' and 'pride' (aka: homosexual) for a month each. Soon it will be 'Indian' and 'Sri Lanken' month.

    With a faulty constitution, that supports 'special interest' groups with 'more' rights than the rest of the citizenry, the people are not regarded as equal. Canada went to England to repatriate their constitution with only nine of ten provincial leaders present - not exactly a unified effort.

    The regional wars have crippled our inter-provincial commerce, and is ongoing for decades.

    Canada supports wars, and has lost its reputation as the 'Peacemakers'.


    The media in the country is completely captured, more so than in any other country in the co-called 'free world'. It is so bad that the media companies refuse to open their books to show just exactly how much money they get from the government. Media in this country is nothing but propaganda. It cannot be trusted and definitely does not reflect the position of most Canadians.


    Attacking the energy sector that powers our modern world is civilizational suicide. Yet the lying media , and its talking heads, has terrorized an entire generation until they believed the rhetoric of doomsday climate catastrophe, and willingly go along with their own destruction.

    The Health Care Disaster is a serious threat to our very existence. Why in the world did the government not protect its citizens with the very basics of protective healthcare during a so-called 'pandemic'? The people were told to stay at home until they couldn't breath anymore and only then go to the hospital - so the medical community could prop up their death statistics by providing inadequate and dangerous interventions that killed the majority of patients. But no mention of D3, zinc, ivermectin, NAC, HCQ, and others.Still, the worst travesty was the redifinition of 'natural immunity'.

    The uniparty in Canada is all that we have. There is no difference between the parties except for the name. The Liberals are not liberal, they are radicals. The NDP are a joke with their new-millionaire radical minority rascist leader, holding on to get his government pension locked in. The Bloc, excuse moi. And the 'conservatives' who have been dissected and gutted by the western 'Reform' party long ago. They are nothing but separatists, traitors and globalists - certainly not conservatives.

    So there you have it. A country with none of the markers of a great nation. More like a conglomerate of the entire world's woes wrapped into one tidy bundle of ineffectual causes. That's what happens when you open the door to 150+ nations to come and bring your regional squabbles and backwards thinking to mix with our national pride. What could go wrong?

    After all 'diversity is strength'...

    Personal note: here's an example why Canadians need to be protected from Chrystia Freeland.
    _____________________________________________________________________________

    https://www.rt.com/news/613432-canad...ella-freeland/

    Canada should seek nuclear protection against US – ex-FM
    France and the UK would make great allies against a “predatory” Trump, Chrystia Freeland has said


    February 28, 2025

    Former Canadian deputy PM and foreign minister, Chrystia Freeland, has called on Ottawa to turn to European nuclear powers for deterrence against a “predatory” United States. Freeland made the suggestion on Wednesday during debates for the leadership of the country's Liberal Party.
    The former FT Moscow correspondent, who is seeking to succeed Justin Trudeau following the party's recent electoral slump, characterized recent comments by US President Donald Trump, in which he questioned Canada's statehood, as a national security threat.
    ”What is different about this unleashed and empowered President Trump is he is clearly threatening our sovereignty and we need to respond,” she said. “The US is turning predator, and so what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies, our military allies.”
    Freeland, whose grandfather, Michael Chomiak, was the Ukrainian editor of a Nazi-controlled newspaper during World War II, has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine and was once tipped for the NATO chief position.
    I would start with our Nordic partners, specifically Denmark which is also being threatened, and our European NATO allies,” she told the debate, referring to Trump’s controversial offer to purchase Greenland.
    ”I would be sure that France and Britain were there who possess nuclear weapons, and I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship that guarantees our security in a time when the United States can be a threat,” Freeland explained.
    Trump’s remarks, along with those of others such as government efficiency czar Elon Musk, have fueled rising anti-US sentiment across Canada. In Toronto, for instance, some coffee shops have rebranded the Americano as ‘Canadiano’ as a form of protest.
    Canada is set to vote for a new government this year. Freeland, whose resignation from Trudeau’s cabinet last December is widely regarded as a catalyst for his decision to resign, is competing against three other candidates to lead the party.
    A seasoned foreign policy hawk, Freeland has criticized Trudeau for not taking Trump’s threats seriously, including potential trade tariffs.

    New Liberal Leader (and next unelected PM - no surprise who that might be) :worried - lots of fiddling behind the scenes and the liberals voting against Carney have been banned from voting. Doubtful? that an election will be called in March. This is the msm "take" on this.

    'New Liberal leader may call Canadian election within weeks: Former deputy PM Sheila Copps

    The new Liberal leader will likely call an election in the next two weeks, former deputy prime minister Sheila Copps says as the party gathers in Ottawa on the final day of its leadership contest.

    In an interview with The West Block’s Mercedes Stephenson, Copps says that if former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney emerges as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s replacement on Sunday evening, as he is presumed to do, he could call an election before March 24, when Parliament resumes.

    “I think it’s going to be fast, partly because, as we know, the Conservatives have an awful lot of money in the bank. […] And they’re going to try and pin Carney back as soon as he’s elected,” Copps says.'

    This shouldn't surprise anyone - whether federal or provincial this is how its played out in Canada for the last 5 years (and beyond):

    https://www.rebelnews.com/statistica...not_be_trusted

    'Statistically Impossible: The Carney vote results cannot be trusted

    Ezra Levant looks at the results from the Liberal leadership contest and is left wondering if foul play was involved, given Mark Carney's nearly uniform performance across the country, including in ridings by long-time ministers like Chrystia Freeland and Karina Gould.

    See video in link

    I was surprised when Mark Carney got 85.9% of the Liberal leadership vote. Few Canadians know much about Carney, including most Liberals. I was even more surprised that Chrystia Freeland, Trudeau’s high-profile lieutenant for nearly a decade, couldn’t even get 10% of her party’s vote.

    But the more I looked into it, the more incredible the “official” numbers were.

    Take this one: in Chrystia Freeland’s own Toronto riding of University-Rosedale, she got just 11.8% of the vote, and Mark Carney got 83%.

    In terms of raw numbers, in her own district — where she and her family live, where she’s best-known — she got a grand total of just 188 people to vote for her. In a district with more than 100,000 people.

    It’s the same thing for Karina Gould, another cabinet minister. She’s from Burlington, Ontario. Her whole life and family are there. But according to the Liberals, only 190 people supported her. Mark Carney crushed her.

    And then I started looking through every single district.

    Carney’s vote was suspiciously similar in every single one of the 338 ridings in Canada. In rural ridings or big cities; in the east or the west or the north or the Atlantic; in French-speaking ridings or English-speaking.

    Carney won every single district — and his vote never fluctuated by much. I’ve been poring over these results all morning and I just don’t think it’s statistically possible.

    We need an audit. It’s one thing for the Liberal Party to allow irregularities in their system, but this is choosing our next prime minister. There are so many questions that need to be answered, including how the Liberals disqualified MOST of the people who signed up to vote.

    The Liberals say they had nearly 400,000 people “registered” but only a fraction of that — just over 150,000 — were verified and had their vote counted.

    Why were most voters disqualified? Was it fraud? Were they impersonating someone? Were they fake accounts? Were they trying to vote from a foreign country? Who was in charge of deciding who could vote or not? How were hundreds of thousands of individual votes handled in a matter of hours — was it by computer program? Who wrote that program — and was it hacked?

    Who certified the vote? Were there any scrutineers? I don’t trust it. It needs to be audited — and not by some Liberal-appointed consultant, and not by the partisan hacks at Elections Canada.

    This needs to be audited by the RCMP and CSIS. This is so sketchy, we could even use some foreign observers. I simply do not believe that Mark Carney received such a uniform vote count in every single district in the country — including the home districts of Freeland and Gould.

    As much as I don’t like Freeland or Gould, I simply don’t believe that neither of them could muster even 200 votes in their own ridings. Seriously, do you believe that Chrystia Freeland only got 188 votes in her home riding — but that Mark Carney received 1,322 there?

    Do you doubt that Chinese government hackers would be able to interfere with the Liberal Party’s online voting system? They have the means, the motive and the opportunity.

    These results cannot be trusted. You’re more likely to flip a coin and get heads 100 times in a row than get the perfect result that Mark Carney got.

    This stinks, and we need an audit to find out what's going on.'

    As things stand now, I'm pretty sure how this one will play out, just like all the others and probably be the last election held in Canada. I hope I'm wrong

    'Multiple reports suggest a spring election is coming, with insiders pointing to March 16 as the likely date for the writ drop. If true, Canadians would head to the polls April 22, just after Easter. Interestingly, Trudeau waited until the last possible moment to call a by-election in Halifax for April 14—but if a general election is called, that race will be absorbed into the national vote.

    For the Liberals, calling an election sooner rather than later may be their best shot at holding onto power, as their polling numbers continue to decline. Meanwhile, gun owners and single-issue voters are facing a critical decision: stay united, push back, and focus on the bigger mission—or risk losing everything.'
