Spam away, I say.

As for who's the WEF's primo sandbox state, it's one of those competitions you really don't want to win. Sort of like "Who can get it on with a real fat smelly uggo?" - do you really want to win that?

I really wish Canada wasn't winning that competition.

The repellent Canadian media psy-op where we're supposed to be all rah-rah-rah Canada Rocks Fuck Evil Trump Hitler and fly the same flag that was lowered for six months due to a massive hoax is nauseating, and a sight to behold. When Blackrock Carney is installed as the Canadian CEO for the northern American branch plant for global capital it will be the dropping of the checkered flag, and the already ruinous amount of third-world wage slave invasion will kick into fifth gear. I've told numerous people that Canada's decline will enter a Hemingway-gradually-then-suddenly phase, only to be told that something something we beat the Muricans in hockey is more important.

How many more tears did that Cuban-Canadian actor shed today? And Poilievre can pound sand, a bigger rat hasn't existed since Sammy The Bull. Very little to hope for up here. I can't even get drunk on my Four Roses bourbon.

Canada is on track to turn into Argentina del Norte - a formerly wealthy European colony impoverished and browned by decades of leftist mismanagement.

Argentina is on the road to fix that if it can be sustained. I prefer "Brazil is the country of the future and always will be."

As someone of Argentine background, I have used this analogy many, many times.

Looks like cross-border alcohol smuggling may become profitable again, but this time in the opposite direction.

So tired of the US vs Canada narrative. It's overdone and I don't cheer and can't cheer for either Carney, PP, or any of the others.

As to the Canadian Culture War, I'm aboard with all those you mentioned and currently hard at work as you know John to try to take back the culture in the frozen north alongside others like Ulysses, Lisa Kurznak and others (prepping a podcast these days to help push forward fellow Canuck artists and writers). I'm also prepping to take back Fantasy fiction in Quebec/Francais from the wokesters/globalists (writing a number of French novels that are hard-core, S&S, Epic Fantasy and other such stories once I conclude my English stuff).

We're going to take back our culture and tear apart what the Laurentianites took from us. Canada is not the WEF's sandbox, as you said so eloquently. Nicely done John.

Thanks for the mention. Enjoyed the conversation. I think the doomers raise some valid concerns (zionists pushing America into pointless mid-east war, digital currency, etc),, but that only makes it all the more important to recognize the opportunities that do exist for us to better prepare for whatever lies ahead, and to maximize those opportunities while we can. We shall have to do a part II soon!

We're obviously very far from out of the woods. We need to start thinking about what novel threats we might face, now that woke is finally dying and the Long Twentieth Century is drawing to a close.

Have you considered putting up a tip jar as well as paid subscriptions, John?

I tend away from paid subscriptions, fifty bucks here, eighty there, cuts into my beer money.

OK I homebrew but barley doesn't grow on threes you know!

Don’t worry too much about the Doomers John. Most of them I suspect have a tough life. Paranoid son of bitches lol. We are infinitely lucky that there was a changing of the guard here in the US. Just look at the Eurocrats wanting to fight Russia. The Eurocrats are identical to the Democrats here in the US. Evicting this madness before it destroys the entire world is the utmost goal.

This is how I see it. Trump isn't perfect, but is almost infinitely better than the alternative we so narrowly avoided.

But now we need to deal with the rest of the regime, which is very firmly entrenched in the provinces.

No way is Canada going to be a state. Canadians don't want it and we don't want more commies. California is bad enough. Trump was just trolling. Alberta on the other hand is interesting. At least some of them seem to want it and it would be a plus. I have some reservations about the two big cities and would hope that legacy Canada would repatriate people. The way to.do is the Texas model. Alberta declares independence, spends a couple of years as a republic and then comes in as a state via treaty. If Canada wants to contest it perhaps the US winds up with the rest of the prairie provinces and parts of Ontario and BC.

But IF Peter Thiel offered you a hundred grand, would you take it?

A hundred grand in which currency, would be my question.

Are we talking gold Kruger-rands, or Swiss Francs, or are we talking USD or Euros?

I listened to your podcast with Kulak, and found myself agreeing with pretty much all of the discussion points. However, I thought that in my status as a Boomer, pretty much growing up with the political dismantling of the nation since the advent of Trudope I, I'd share a few of my opinions.

My family first arrived on the continent in the late 1700's from Northern England, landing in Nova Scotia near the end of the American revolution - almost 80 years or so prior to Confederation. My grandfather was born in the 1880's and his father and grandfather were alive during the Confederation plan and were strongly opposed, as were probably the majority of Nova Scotians. Why? - because they had a natural and prosperous trade with New England. My ancestors knew that getting annexed by the Family Compact of Upper Canada, would turn Nova Scotia into a backwater which, of course, it did.

Thus, my attachment to Canada has always been a bit tempered. And having been in the energy and resource development business, I dealt with many of these people (as the club is still very much in existence) - the majority being Liberal Party backers. What counts for them is less to do with nationhood and more to do with money and resource control. That translates into control of the state apparatus, no matter what.

But the real sea change came with the regime of Trudope I. As a closet communist, his goal was the destruction of English_Canadian nationalism and the introduction of a socialist-welfare state. I can go into a long winded recounting of how destructive his policies were (as well as the rapidity of the harm they brought about) but I'm sure most of your readers know this. Because of the utter failure of these programs and their unaffordability, Trudeau implemented an early Corporatist (Fascist) economic policy. Blaming the increasing failure of business and economic stagnationon free market capitalism, these idiots were going to pick the winners and promote them with government monopoly positions and funding. Think Bombardier, Magna, etc. , and it's still the federal policy to this day. It hasn't stopped the economic failure, however, and that is the nub of our future prospects.

We are an economically, culturally, and socially failed state. Any pretense of nationhood is gone.

The ties that bind are gone. Their solution to propping up our failure, is massive government borrowing, money printing, and population replacement with 3rd world serfs, who are driving down wages and inflating phony GDP numbers via massive government support payments.

If the US wants to annex the parts of the country they might wish to have, it will be laughably easy. A low level economic storm, let alone an incipient banking failure, will topple this country. I'm sure they can conjure a more dramatic crisis anytime. After all, they've done it many times around the world since WW2. Who would have known - rule by grifters and retards has consequences.

"Sometimes I wonder if we are governed by really smart people who are having us on, or imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

and inflating GDP through government spending via welfare support to these hordes.

the Trump backfist. I added the "Vulgar Display of Power" (Pantera 8^) punch to the surprised SS face.

Pointless exercise. Didn't see the other items until afterward though.

I miss Pantera. I wonder if old school metal will ever make a big cultural comeback at least close to the heights of the 80s/90s in all its British/Glam/Hair/Sleaze/Thrash glory or if that garbage Nu Metal was the last gasp of a dead genre
