Someone is asking the important questions

I think something everyone forgets is, if we had human based foreign intelligence services, if they were good at their jobs, we would never know.

We also have multiple agencies, not just CSIS that conducts intelligence operations. CSE and CFINTCOM come to mind, as well as others. In fact, CFINTCOM specifically calls this out on their Canada.ca page; “strategic, operational and tactical human intelligence resources”

Facebook is being flooded with deepfake news reports about Mark Carney

At this point, if my own mother posted a Happy Birthday message to me on Facebook, I would want to double check my birth certificate to verify it.

I really wish so many people didn’t miss this point.

I’m not saying that the bonds story is true or not, and neither is Snopes. The article you linked said they don’t know if it’s true or not, and no one will tell them. Hardly a smoking gun. Really all Snopes does is attempt to discredit Blundell.

Under normal circumstances, and with someone else (not Carney) I would say it’s bullshit, but Carney is one of the few people in the world that I think could pull it off, if it’s true. Believe me, I am still skeptical about it’s truth, but it’s not far fetched.

This is the point where he lost me

“I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better,” Atallah said. “Things actually changed to the worse.”

He voted for this. I have no sympathy for him.

Because Willem Dafoe is white.

22/27 says he can’t.

But 5/9 might decide if he can, and they have a history of demolishing democracy.

I can confirm that for the first time ever, I got dinged in what I can only assume was an AI for posting threats of violence. What I said was the subject should turn upside down so the blood could rush to her brain and she could have a rational thought.

That would be a dream for me. I’m in for deeper ties between Canada and Europe at every level.

We have some recently shuttered factories here in Canada that could build them for us and overflow for the EU!

I can dare to dream

I’m a hardcore meat eater, and TBH, I would rather eat a vegetable, than something ultra-processed and vegetable adjacent.

I always eat organic. I don’t digest rocks, plastics or metals very well.

We paid $4 yesterday and I was angry

Stop calling them reciprocal.

Ask Neville Chamberlain how well appeasement worked last time.

Listen… I don’t like bill 96.

But the US can get fucked. French is an official language and if anyone in Canada wants to do business in French, it’s their right.

On the surface it seems like a good idea, which is why I’m suspicious.

I want to emphasize, good idea <> effective.

That’s good to hear. Since we may be stuck with him for 5 years.

But TBH, I would vote for a sack of potatoes right now if it had a red L on it.

I have done all of those things and will continue to do them in the future. But it doesn’t change the reality of the present.
