The Justin Trudeau, Mark Carney, NDP Liberals are doing what they did during COVID: They are fanning the flames of fear and panic so they can be the “Superman” who flies in and saves the nation from the evil one.

Canadians need to calm down and think rationally. Whatever Donald Trump dreams up for Canada, we will pull together and cope; we will survive and probably be stronger than before.

The Liberals (including Carney) have spent the last 10 years tearing down Canada in a systemic effort to erase Canadian identity, its proud history and the pride of its people, squashing any sign of patriotism, allowing the destruction of its national monuments, and insisting that we are, and have always been, genocidal racists. They’ve been preaching “Shame, shame, shame.”

All of a sudden they have had this amazing “epiphany” and are wrapping themselves in the maple leaf. I, for one , don’t believe a single word. It amazes me that they believe Canadians can be hoodwinked that easily, that we are really that stupid. (At least I hope we are not.)

An old expression states, “a leopard can’t change its spots.” Neither can the Liberal party … no matter who becomes its leader.

THE AMAZING RACE — OR WASTE?

Like fictional character Phileas Fogg in Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in Eighty Days, the current and thankfully soon to be ex-prime minister is burning every last drop of airline fuel on the backs of Canadian taxpayers, jetting to and from countries all over the globe, seeking out any foreign dignitaries who still find him remotely relevant.

MINERALS PLAN FOR TRUMP

Regarding a recent Associated Press story (U.S. presented Ukraine with a document to access its minerals, but offered almost nothing in return), there are rumours that U.S. President Donald Trump believes in transactional politics. If that is true, he should tell Russian President Vladimir Putin that he is willing to stop supporting Ukraine if Russia gives him access to its rare earth minerals. That way, America will be ahead regardless of which side accepts his demand.

If Ukraine gives America special access to its rare earth minerals, similar access should be given to other countries that have given it material support.
