Mr. Angus Please help me understand Blocking Bill C-5 in the name of process could cost Canada the whole game. You can’t defend sovereignty without an economy to stand on. Yes to reconciliation, but is it at the expense of national survival. We need BOTH justice and speed, or we lose everything.

Between 1883 and 1929, Andrew Carnegie, effectively a billionaire, built over 1,600 libraries across the U.S., giving back to the country that made him rich. Fast forward to today, and a spray-tanned grifter worth supposedly billions is gutting libraries for fun.

The foreign policy of a nation often reflects its leader. Our foreign policy is now churlish, acquisitive, brutish, impulsive, reckless, callous, boorish, expansionist, shallow, ignorant, exploitive, nasty, dishonest, manipulative, corrupt and unethical. A reflection of our president.

The UK Government has to tighten laws on political donations NOW. Foreign donations are illegal, but there are loopholes. Russian money has already infected UK politics via intermediaries. And Elon Musk has shown his hand. His money is a cancer to democracy. First US, next UK - unless Govt acts.
A screenshot from X where Elon Musk has again replied to a Nigel Farage tweet.
Farage posts: Reform UK is building a winning team to change British politics forever.
Musk replies: When is the first electoral opportunity?
