I have a couple of friends in Calgary. They are just heartsick at the way Canada has slid down the poop-chute since Castro's love-child Justin took office - and frankly, for a while before that. I look back at history and marvel that several colonies made adoption of a bill of rights a necessary requirement before adopting the new constitution. Look no further than our supposedly-free allies in Canada and the UK to see what happens without one.

Hopefully, when Alleged Governor Abigail Spankbottom signs all the unconstitutional gun laws making their way through the Virginia General Assembly, we'll once again see that Bill in action.

Speaking of which, does anyone besides me see the resmblance between Spankengruber and the Witch character in the movie version of Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"? Both physically and morally they seem indistinguishable and interchangable.

True. But don’t under estimate her. She is essentially a whiter version of Obama and maybe, a bigger liar than even the King of Liars. Spanberger will do to Virginia what the GOP has tried to resist for decades. She will turn it dark blue. There are just too many illegals in Northern VA now and the ones who are not contractors are cleaning houses or mowing lawns because Virginians have become too damn lazy to mow their own lawns and clean their own houses. Northern VA is overall very wealthy and they decide who gets elected in the state for the most part. As I have repeated over and over here, when towns get larger and larger they start voting for more and more government. It’s all by Dem plan too.

Don’t forget the legions of bureaucrats that live in Northern Va. Dems (and often radical leftists) all.

Reddog's avatar

Thats true. I fear Virginia has fallen, and isnt going to come back.

NNTX's avatar

Take heart. There are many patriots in VA still. Some were fooled by the false “moderate” message from Spanberger. I suspect that will boomerang on them.

But we all have to show up! We are only there for 4 months now (and eliminated VA from consideration for an upcoming move due to Spanberger’s policies).

Reddog's avatar

I have faith but the demographic is not working in our favor. Need to accept reality and this didnt start yesterday. It is decades in making and not unlike other large metro areas near seat of power. But right now, all of these red turning blue cities have one thing in common: floods of illegals going to sanctuary regions where the government looks the other way and allows illegals to get ID and obtain government assistance. So states win, dome lose. Evolution I guess.

Crap. Must be some problem with Facebook/Substack compatibility. I am able to see it myself and send it via email.

Brian LeMay's avatar

Well , considering her background I would say that is accurate . She of the forked tongue has already alienated at least half of the legitimate voters that cast a ballot in her favor .

steph_gray's avatar

I'm guessing this may be a link to the same meme I saw, but FauxBook doesn't allow me to see it either, probably not a public page.

Spanberger worked at the CIA from 2006 to 2014.

Maybe she'll give former colleague John Brennan a no-show job if the Deep State succeeds in protecting him from going to jail.

steph_gray's avatar

You’re definitely not the only one.

There’s a meme on powerlineblog of that - it was in their “this week in pictures” column 4 weeks back, but they’re not allowing copy of the link, sigh.

We hear a lot about the economy. Dems and their reps in the MSM are all negative about the Trumpsters efforts to supercharge the US economy. I've been wondering lately when someone will prepare a comparison between blue states and red states economies. Who care about Canada. I want to see how California and Minnesota et al compare to Texas, Alabama etc. I'm thinking the difference would be stark and explain why some don't think the Trumpsters plans have worked for them.

darrell's avatar

with all that illegal federal money going into Minnesota they should be doing fine....no wait that money is going to Somalia.

Jake's avatar

And the Dem party through the back door.

Reddog's avatar

It was designed to be a Dem fundraiser and it worked. Anyone see any DNC members or elected officials go to jail over the corruption? Nope, just a bunch of Somali crooks.

Reddog's avatar

I agree here. We are the most prosperous country on earth even with our problems yet the countries on our northern and southern borders struggle to match us. Canada is stable but hopelessly socialist oriented. Mexico should be a flourishing country with lots of trade with us but it’s hopelessly corrupt and very poor. If it were not for our companies that located there, they would be third world. You have to ask yourself why would a country like Mexico or Canada not adopt more American like economies and share in the wealth it offers? The same comparison could be made regarding blue vs red states. Why does CA pay over $5 for a gallon of gas? Why are people moving from CA and Chicago and NYC to Texas and Florida? It isn’t because of the weather. Some states want people to prosper and some states want to control the prosperity. They want to control who succeeds and who doesn’t. There has to be a reason for the disparity and the reason is largely one of political ideology and indifference to the rights of fellow citizens. Red states largely care about their fellow citizens and blue state’s don’t.

Brian LeMay's avatar

Mexico is third world .

Reddog's avatar

Corrupt beyond words but not third world in the classical sense. But we are splitting atoms here I guess.

I expect that grok could do it in a nanosecond

glindarayepix's avatar

I’ve always said that US national statistics should be provided both with and without California. Maybe New York also. The country must be roaring along right now to be carrying these basket cases.

dancingtime's avatar

It has been done on other sites...

Brian LeMay's avatar

Take away the fraud money and their GDPs are liable to be negative .

Greg's avatar

I don't want Canada in our government. It would introduce more liberals socialists and communists. More democrats asshats in Congress and more strain on our already bloated system. Stay there and freeze.

Playswithneedles's avatar

Me either. As I’ve posted before, I don’t want Canadians voting in our elections.

WTPuck's avatar

I wonder if their elections are as "secure" as ours. That would explain a lot.

Jake's avatar

How bout Alberta. Looks like they want a change in management.

Joe LaGreca's avatar

If Canada was to become a state, I doubt Republicans would no longer be able to hold the House or the Senate - and if they got a ton of electoral votes, the presidency will be gone forever.

Jeremy R's avatar

Maybe Trump can do a surgical strike on the Canadian Government like he did with Maduro. Tie Carney to the fentanyl smuggling from China.

Mr. Surber’s articles never cease to amaze! The wealth of facts, information and historic comparison compiled into this one is just another prime example of what every good article should contain.

And it came out from just one man, a single seasoned and truly professional journalist’s home office.

Our legacy media, with their scores of researchers and interns and multi-bylined reporters and editors and mammoth budgets, cannot even come close to producing anything of comparison. Add to that, the fact they must twist and torture facts to always conform to their preferred narrative it’s no mystery at all that they are all failing and flailing like the Wizard of Oz when the curtain has been pulled back on them.

Thank God for people like our intrepid Mr. Surber’s valiant efforts at daily cranking out the truth, knowledge and wisdom, our most powerful weapons in the current worldwide battle to reveal, publish, and honor the truth.

Jake's avatar

The other thing I like is the dearth of Trolls.

Big Dog 333's avatar

That’s because you have to have a paid subscription to comment. The loser trolls won’t pay. Surber is well worth the small investment. Let’s buy him a Bentley Convertible!

Lynette's avatar

I think I've blocked most lefty trolls at Sasha Stone's substack that's open to everyone.. An ugly lefty begged me to block her, and I obliged.

Suzie's avatar

Truly!! ❤️

Surber is one of the sharpest arrows in MAGA's quiver--his fortes are super-clear and grounded thinking, an enormous reservoir of knowledge from decades of close observation of American politics, tremendous communication skills, marvelous humor, and spiritual solidity. He is a mighty soldier in this war, which is so much a war of information between clear thinking and distorted, clever, and malicious propaganda.

Cookie McCall's avatar

There's a reason Surber is a favorite of ours - dang, he's good!

America’s Hat - that’s what Chris Plante calls Canada. 😉😂

I’m not even in to hockey but winning the gold just felt really important. And when the team brought their fallen teammate’s toddlers onto the ice to share in the victory, man, my heart swelled!

Charles Bolen's avatar

If the Canadian media is too condescending to Albertans weighing their destiny over the next seven months, the nation may end up two or three different countries with former provinces submitting statehood applications.

It’s best not to talk down to the voting bloc keeping your nation warm in the coldest winters, and keeping beef on the table - all the while paying most of the country’s bills. Ontario is the non-working spouse who wants you to hire a maid.

I was in HS when Southern Man and Alabama came out; were they were beating us down by constantly playing on the radio. Then when Skynerd came out with Sweet Home Alabama it got played all day/every day. I counted one time a DJ in K-town played it over 100 times in a row!

darrell's avatar

The TDS Canadians that believe slavery is still alive in the SEC states, they would be correct. It's called welfare, food stamps and Medicaid.

Jeremy R's avatar

But it's most prevalent in Northern blue states.

Amy's avatar

Exactly right.

Reddog's avatar

Ironically, the south is becoming what the industrial north once was. Easy to see why too.

Richard Luthmann's avatar

Team USA didn’t just beat Canada on the ice — it mirrored what’s happening off it. While American players were hoisting gold, Alabama was quietly outpacing Canada in per-capita GDP. That’s not a coincidence. It’s culture. America rewards risk, innovation, and ambition. Alabama built Rocket City, auto plants, biotech labs, and ports that move global commerce. Canada taxed productivity, inflated housing, and called stagnation compassion. The hockey win was symbolic: speed, grit, execution. That same formula drives American growth. When the scoreboard lights up for Team USA and Alabama outperforms a G7 nation, it’s the same message — performance beats posturing.

Don't forget golf courses. Some are the best in the country.

NNTX's avatar

They are glorious! We love our semi-annual stop in AL (typically Birmingham, which was Steel City and is now a diverse and interesting place).

Marlan Hoerer's avatar

Great wins for the U.S of A. in hockey and a complimentary bitch-slap from Alabama. You can not help those who do not want it so let them self destruct with leftist policies.

William Coulter's avatar

Canada has certainly got itself into a knotted mess. The green new scam has taken hold of the minds of the politicians there but I wonder if the average person is so enthralled with the ideas associated with the philosophy.

As for those new citizens bragged about, listen, you can have a lot more of them. Trump will send you as many as you want.

If most Canadians thought Quebec was a bit non compliant just wait and see what the new guys will want to do.

CactusMatt32's avatar

Canadians have got 1 million dot-Indians heading their way. King Charles is gonna get some folks looking for opportunity to run the place. Chicoms are already working as cops in Far North, CCP Army doing training exercises to get the lay of the land….47 has already warned Cubâno-boy to cut the Chyna drugs imported by the Vancouver Tongs….once the new ‘bi”-lateral US trade agreement/tarriffs go into effect, going t/b heating up along the 49th parallel….

From MoneyCircus Substack-

‘The Irish Defence Forces plan to allow certain non-citizens to enlist in the army, naval and air service in exchange for an accelerated route to citizenship.

The proposal forms part of a consultation framework published on February 13, to tackle a shortfall in personnel, currently about 1,500 below the target strength of 9,500.’

‘Canada is launching a speedy immigration stream for permanent residents in areas like research, transportation and military recruitment, imigration minister Lena Diab announced.’

Retirednottired's avatar

Smart move, Ireland. Train the Islamists, so they will be better able to crush you as soon as their masters tell them to do so.

LuAnn's avatar

Canada is doing the same thing as Ireland regarding foreigners in our army. A disaster in the making.

LuAnn's avatar

The dots have already arrived. Not good. We don't like their pooping on beaches.

GaryC9's avatar

The snow Mexicans are also allowing themselves to become the North American bitches for Red China and mooslim cult members. That’s a problem for us.

Brian LeMay's avatar

Precisely why we ( the USA ) need to control Canada .

TishalaFaye's avatar

That was amazing, thanks for sharing.

Jake's avatar

How's that working out for Cuba? Takes a while to spend OPM but it always happens in the end. Canada has slipped into third world country territory. Very sad.

Reddog's avatar

We’ll not close to third world but clearly socialist. Mexico on the other hand is third world save for a few locations where US companies have big plants.

Douglas Baringer's avatar

It really is sad, everyone from Canada that I have met here or there have been very nice, intelligent and reasonable people. Then came Castreau and bam! The whole place turned into East Germany! I shudder each time a Christian is arrested in America, but Canada has taken religious persecution to new heights, or lows. I really think that there are many Canadian "officials" that, when they pass, will go directly to that lake of fire that is never quenched.

LuAnn's avatar

Yes, Justin is the worst thing that ever happened to Canada.

Let's deport Mr.Young so Canada can redistribute his wealth, the old commie.

Retirednottired's avatar

I believe he was from there originally.

It's never too late to send him back.

2 heroes-Jack Hughes and Connor Hellebuyck became American heroes by leading Team USA to a 2-1. Hughes got the winning goal and Connor stopped 41 of 42 shots. And they bled Red, White, and Blue

Cookie McCall's avatar

We must also give a shout out to the Team USA women's hockey players who won their very own gold medal

PM's avatar

Indeed they did. And they were just as proud to be playing for America as the men.
