The current tariff situation with the U.S. is exposing a clear divide: those who have grit and those who are complete pussies and crumble under pressure. I’ve lost a fair amount of respect for some friends who are paralyzed by panic, unable to seek solutions, and content with endless complaining and crying. If you refuse to focus on what you can control and instead obsess over what you can’t, we simply won't see eye to eye. I can't stand the stench of weakness. The federal government has been shut down for over a month. The same politicians—who will lose the next election—are using state-funded corporate media (to the tune of $100 million a year) to push the narrative that failing to fall in line with their "Team Canada" approach makes us traitors. Think about that. The very people who froze Canadians' bank accounts, shut down the country for the flu, coerced citizens into taking an experimental vaccine, sold off our gold reserves, stalled nation-building projects, and inflated the money supply—among other things—are now calling us traitors. Thankfully, provincial premiers are stepping up in the federal government’s absence. These leaders will be rewarded in the long run for doing what’s necessary. Those who continue to side with a weak and failing federal government will face the consequences.
