Yes Joel, the collapse of the globalist gang is very strange indeed. I think the leftist have been way to quiet and even agreeing with this new world, anti-globalization movement. I just find it strange that the normal outspoken, demented, psychotic progressive has all of the sudden become silent, and as we’ve seen with Bezo and Zuckerberg, even agreeing with Trump. Very strange indeed. Just wondering what plans these most corrupt people have waiting In the shadows 🤔. In the meantime, Happy New Year to all and much hope and best wishes to all 🙏
Speak no ill of the (politically) dead, we are told. But I for one am happy to see Trudeau on his way out the door. And it is evident from your betting insights above that a large number of Canadians feel the same way. Regrettably, it won't happen soon. Ah well, we can't have everything we want, when we want it.
You mean once Trump invades. Ain't no one here wants to be on the other side of a $36T federal deficit, or a $156T outstanding overall debt to the world and its own citizens.
And seeings how your wars went in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, that should be fun.
Never fear - things will all be much better once you Canadians are American citizens. Of course that won't happen right away. Trump first has to take back the Canal Zone in Panama. That should only take a day or two. Next on the list will be the Greenland invasion. That might take a week, since it's bigger. Then it's on to the invasion of Canada, which might take a month or two. Unless those NATO folks should take seriously that part about "an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us".
It's quite reassuring that DJT, our Dear Leader, has promised that we'll never have to vote again. Also, Mount McKinley will get it's name back after that scoundrel Barack Hussein Obama changed it to Mount Denali. And the Gulf of Mexico will become the Gulf of America. I could go on and on!
The idea of Canada becoming the 51st state seems highly unlikely.
I come here for a daily reminder of why the "evil empire" is on its last legs—and how to protect the fruits of my hard work in the process. Imagine a boulder hurtling toward the abyss. You might nudge its course slightly, but gravity is relentless, and it’s still going down. The weight of trillions in counterfeit dollars is dragging the U.S. deeper into the depths. Sure, there’ll be desperate clawing for air, but without a miracle from the Department of DOGE, its fate seems sealed.
As expected, Trump is back to his usual antics. Tariffs, swallowing territories, or entire countries—his repertoire expands, but the script remains familiar. Bread and circuses, though now without the bread. The new sideshow? Musk. A great innovator but a terrible communicator.
While I can only speak as a citizen of Canada, many countries—particularly BRICS nations and those aspiring to join them—want no part of the chaos. When the U.S. rock hits rock bottom, the fallout will crush its people, businesses, and countless dreams.
If the U.S. ever tried to annex Canada, a more likely outcome would be the eruption of an unimaginable civil war. Instead of Canada becoming a state, you might see our borders opening to welcome refugees—and redrawing the map to include new provinces.
Such a move would also bring a global reckoning. A new front could emerge to the south or even in the far east, capitalizing on the U.S.'s internal distractions. Nations might arm Canada, mirroring the logic the U.S. has often applied elsewhere: what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. American bases abroad could face destruction, and the alphabet soup of agencies might turn inward to silence dissenting voices. Those daring to voice unpopular opinions could find themselves on a plane to Guantanamo, courtesy of the Patriot Act.
The U.S. isn’t just battling external threats; it’s fighting against itself. Its deep divisions, unsustainable economic practices, and overextended global reach have turned the boulder’s trajectory into a freefall. Figures like Musk symbolize the potential for internal innovation, but the rise of BRICS nations highlights a global shift toward a less U.S.-centric future—one that comes with turbulence for all.
As for Canada, sovereignty and independence are in our DNA. Any forced annexation would galvanize international support for us, not the aggressor. And as a Canadian, I’ll continue watching the boulder’s descent from here, prepared to navigate the fallout as best I can.
Who knows?
Maybe if you erase the $35 trillion deficit, bring back the gold standard, remove all your military bases from every foreign country, do away with 80% of your government (while we do the same), and focus on giving your people a hand up and out of poverty (instead of handouts), you might come back one day and ask us again.
In many of the original articles you talked about changing from pesos to dollars in Argentina and the need to use the black matket. Has that changed? We hope to be going to Buenos Aires in March and wonder where to make exchanges.
Those exchanges were legalized under Milei, so no worries there. The spread between "official" and "unofficial" is much less than it once was, but it's still non-trivial. Let us know when you're in town. Happy to grab a coffee or copa. Cheers!

So...does this mean that Trudeau will not be the Governor of the 51st state of the US?
😂

Looking forward to tomorrow's program, Joel.
Que les jeux commencent!
Hey Joel - what's your opinion of that Canadian guy, Justin Trudeau?
Low...
Glad to see that you are one of the few brave enough to link Trudope to Castro.
My hat is off to you for that! Most people still ignore that.
Annexing Canada may be the first step to a one world government, if they can also annex Mexico and continue that elsewhere?
The North American Union has been one of the dreams of the Conquistadors?
Then the SE Asia Union and EU to all unite together to finish that plan.
I kind of got that idea. Canada will all be straightened out once Trump annexes it.

Not possible?
Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

Happy New Year! Keep up the great work. I’m thankful for Notes.
