And that some of the luckiest people in the

world actively try and make people dumber so they can take things from them like their welfare and future and money and what little power they did have. And this making people dumber is a huge effort ..... like one of the greatest man made projects ever when AI gets fully into it. All so that the few can have money they will never need or spend. And we have to fight it with everything we got. What a colossal waste of time and energy it is to have to fight autocracy. And what a waste of lives because people will be diminished, to the point of being dead in some cases.

And two days ago Carney passed Poilievre as the winner

in political polls. So it was a quick turnaround yesterday to get Trump to claim he wanted Carney to win.

Trump is now trying to pretend he doesn't want Poilievre

to win. He said he was hoping the Liberals win to Laura Ingraham on Fox. Totally fake statement to try and help Poilievre because Canadians hate Trump to the tune of over 90%. Look at this National Post story on it:

https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/donald-trump-mark-carney-pierre-poilievre

I think the National Post is coordinating/colluding with Trump.

* Poilievre is leading with not having the support of Trump. This is totally coordination between Poilievre and Trump. Canadians will not fall for it. Hopefully some Canada loving patriot in the Conservative campaign will come clean about Trump's support for Poilievre and MAGA/Republican operatives on the Poilievre Campaign.

All the people who support legislation that would

like to see more women dying from miscarriages and say "it's god will" irregardless if they are truly religious or faking it.

Maybe the Press Secretary Leavitt wasn't being stupid when

she said "Tariffs lead to tax cuts". Maybe tariffs will lead to the end of income tax and the IRS which would be a tax cut. Maybe she just let it slip. Explains why Musk and Trump are gunning for government cut backs so desperately. Trump said he'd get rid of income taxes twice: once, at least, during the 2024 campaign. They have to make up the difference with tariffs on every nation and government cut backs. It will not add up.

Pierre Poilievre won't invite media on campaign plane in coming election

Pierre Poilievre won’t invite media on campaign plane in coming election
BILL CURRY DEPUTY OTTAWA BUREAU CHIEF
OTTAWA
PUBLISHED 3 MINUTES AGO

"SNIP............

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s team has decided that journalists will not be invited to travel on his campaign plane, marking a break from a long-standing practice.

Historically, political parties charge media organizations a fee for a seat on the campaign plane, allowing them to cover all of the leader’s events.

The start date of the next election has not yet been announced, but it is widely expected to begin within the next few days.

Both the Liberal Party and the NDP have sent invitations to media organizations offering the traditional arrangements of places on the leader’s campaign plane or buses for a fee to cover costs.

.............SNIP"

Applegrove: he's also planning on killing the CBC News if he wins the election.

This is psyops.

I'm thinking the apparent temperature turndown of Trump bullying Canada is so the soon to be called Canadian election will not be fought on Trump's threats on tariffs and annexation and so the Liberals will not win and a renewed divided Canada will give Conservative Pierre Poilievre the win. Right now Canadians are unified and that is bad for Conservatives. Don't do it. Don't buy it. Fight the election on the biggest threat Canada has ever faced because Trump is going to shoot us in the face no matter what. This is the article that inspired me:

Insiders say U.S. officials ‘outlined a path’ to ease Trump’s tariffs during Doug Ford’s meeting — and that the president’s dislike of Trudeau hurt relations

One real reason for tariffs is to get rid of progressive income tax too.

That is what Trump and the oligarchs want. They need huge tariff numbers to pay for defence and give subsidies to oil and gas and the like. IMHO

Self own: so the people working right below authoritarians

are responsible? So Trump is not responsible for anything that happens under his watch like measles or the spreads of a newly evolved AIDs virus, or people who die because MEDICAID is cut, or on and on and on. That leaves Musk as responsible.
