He should certainly start doing strength training. He looks pathetically weak.
Look at the posture on this pathetic rodent that was placed as PM of Canada. At his age, he's damn near bent over like a 90 year old. Clearly his health is not well. His two upper front teeth are rotting out. I wouldn't think this man has a lot left unless he makes a 180 on his health.

Canadians better wake up before it's too late.

Wind is about the worst energy source imaginable. - Absolutely terrible for the environment, creating millions of tonnes of highly toxic and radiative waste. And that is just the start of the environmental problems. Wind also is horrible for wildlife, killing hundreds of millions of birds and bats, many of them rare and endangered species. Human health also suffers greatly for those unlucky enough to have these monstrosities forcibly placed onto their land by leftist governments. - Incredibly expensive. Wind is by a LONG way one of the most expensive form of energy generation, only really exceeded by the cost of solar. - Those massive issues are not even the worst aspect of wind. The reason that anyone would even consider this 'energy' source, is that it's supposed to be 'emission-free'. Of course wind is not 'emission-free' at all; when the complete life-cycle of wind (or solar) is considered, it emits MORE of the so-called 'greenhouse gases' than almost any other power source, including coal, oil and gas. Add to that the lakes of highly toxic and radiative waste, left over from mining the required rare earths for wind and solar, and what you have is an enormous environmental catastrophe.
A solar panel only lasts a few years. Its efficiency deteriorates. It CAN be recycled but only with massive government support. It costs over 30 dollars but only yields 3 dollars of metals. So, into landfills. And windmills are worse.

He lies with such ease. It's breath taking.
Clearly as evidenced by my posts he isn’t my PM !! He no longer represents my values or beliefs and has become the antithesis of what he was elected to do ! He appears not to care -he now mistakenly believes he has omnipresent unilateral power !!

I'm at third stage.
Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don't understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two small points. The third time you go through it, you know you don't understand it, but by that time you are so used to it, it doesn't bother you any more. -- Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951) 📷AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives, Margrethe Bohr Collection

Ottawa is completely out of touch. They take your hard-earned money to fund overseas family vacations for insiders like Mark Carney, then turn around and try to tell you how to raise your kids with Bill C-34. Parents are in charge, period. Watch here: youtube.com/shorts/vRgH4FMrI… #cdnpoli #libertarian #markcarney #onlinesafety #canada

Apparently Carney has never heard of WW2 or the Cold War. What an ignoramus.
In a more dangerous and divided world, the G7 matters more than ever. With the leadership of @EmmanuelMacron, we’re confronting global challenges and working together to build a better, more just, more prosperous world for all.

A large tree trunk has been uncovered beneath a glacier in the Alps, dated to around 6,000 years ago. The species is Swiss stone pine. Today, trees of that type cannot grow at that altitude because it is far too cold. 6,000 years ago aligns with the Holocene climate optimum, a time when temperatures were far higher than now, even with far less atmospheric CO2. Earth's climate is cyclical and Mother Nature self-regulates. Narratives of doom serve political aims, not reality.

Why would I drive, like some kind of peasant? Cars don't even have caviar, champagne, or luxury butter in them. I'd much rather fly on my enormous polluting jet, which the taxpayers pay for.
Yesterday, Mark flew his enormous jet on a 45 minute flight between two towns in Ireland, which are 180km apart. This trip could have been driven in two hours. The total fuel burn for this European trip is 75,000L, and the total CO2 emissions are over 190,000kg, so far.

The problem isn't a lack of government spending, it's that the state keeps suffocating the economy with inflation, rules and taxes. Seniors are paying the price for a broken system. We don't need a different crew steering the ship, we need to let Canadians keep their money.
Prime Minister, this is the misery people face after a year of your costly illusions. Canadian seniors are living in Tim Hortons and tents because they cannot afford a roof over their heads, and shelters are filled with drugs and danger. We must restore a Canada that is worthy of the people who built it.

McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely. The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience. Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

Right on. Before 1700 everyone was running through the meadows worry free.
Replying to @thatdayin1992
This is why everyone was rich before 1700.

"Out of touch" describes Carney perfectly.
Everyone knows I'm an elitest, but it's never been quite as obvious as it was today. Watch here as I "plant" a tree, with the base still in a plastic container. I have no idea how to plant anything, because I have staff to do that for me. I could not be more out of touch.

Great to have Michael back making videos. Ottawa never stops trying to grab more power and control over our lives, so pulling back the curtain on these bills is exactly what Canadians need right now.
It has been a while since we made a video. Since then, I went through two elections, a leadership campaign, and a lot of work helping rebuild the Libertarian Party of Canada. But while we have been busy, so has Ottawa. This week, we are diving into Bill C-9, Bill C-22, and Bill C-34. Three bills that raise serious questions about free speech, privacy, parental rights, online control, religious freedom, and the growing power of the state. What do these bills actually do? Why should Canadians care? And how could they affect you, your family, your privacy, and your freedom? We are back, and we have a lot to talk about.

The gold standard operated as an automatic monetary mechanism that imposed fiscal discipline through the physical constraint of gold convertibility. Under this system, paper currency represented warehouse receipts for gold held in central bank vaults, with each unit redeemable on demand at a fixed rate. When governments attempted to inflate the money supply beyond their gold reserves, foreign creditors and domestic savers would demand conversion, forcing immediate contraction of the monetary base. The Bank of England discovered this constraint repeatedly during the 19th century when trade deficits triggered gold outflows to trading partners. As gold reserves declined, the Bank raised discount rates to attract foreign capital and contracted credit to restore equilibrium. This process required no central planning or discretionary intervention: the mechanism functioned through arbitrage opportunities that profit-seeking individuals exploited automatically. Between 1821 and 1914, this system maintained price stability so effectively that the general price level in Britain ended the period nearly unchanged from where it began. The automatic adjustment process extended beyond individual nations to create global monetary coordination without supranational institutions. When the United States experienced gold inflows during the 1880s, domestic prices rose gradually, making American goods less competitive internationally. This shifted trade flows toward countries with relatively stable or declining price levels, redistributing gold reserves and equalizing purchasing power across participating economies. David Hume identified this specie-flow mechanism in 1752, and it operated with mathematical precision throughout the classical gold standard era. The system collapsed because governments were unwilling to accept the fiscal constraints that sound money imposed. Governments could finance expanded spending through currency debasement rather than taxation or borrowing at market rates. The gold standard remains the only monetary system in human history that removed discretionary money creation from political control.

Priceless.
So after he’s done this “major project,” someone will have to go back and dig up the tree, remove the plastic pot, then do it right the next time. That tracks.

Indeed. For example the UK hit a peak of use of resources in 2007 or 2008.
The ridiculous notion is thinking growth means using more stuff rather than using stuff better. A smartphone replaced a camera, GPS, calculator, flashlight, map, stereo, encyclopedia, mailbox, newspaper, and dozens of other physical products while using fewer resources than all of them combined. That's economic growth: more value, not necessarily more matter. Meanwhile, the same people who say, "You can't have infinite growth on a finite planet," are often the first to insist that life is unbearable unless they're given more housing, more healthcare, more education, more energy, more food, more subsidies, more services, more benefits, and more spending. Apparently scarcity only exists when someone else is producing.
