Viva Frei

I don't see it that way because Krista Freeland, she's not a threat on her own and she wasn't a threat in the Trudeau government. What ended up happening is they threatened this tariff and Trudeau, because he's in a politically tight spot, he's unpopular like the liberals have never been unpopular before. And They're deciding to spend their way out of this unpopularity by giving $250 checks.

Charlie, appreciate this. The Liberal government just announced they're going to send everyone who makes under $150,000 a year a $250 check. They're going to temporarily suspend certain taxes on certain foods for two months in January 2025. And I think what happened is Christopher Freeland saying, this makes no economic sense.

It looks like you're literally buying votes, which is literally what he's doing. And she's covering her own tushy by saying, I'm going to bail out. I'm going to jump this ship like the rat that she is. But I'm going to throw Trudeau under the bus as I do it, because I think everybody knows Trudeau's time in the party as the leader is over.

They're all trying to cover their own butts and get ahead of the curve in terms of securing their own reelection. And so she throws Trudeau under the bus because Trudeau is effectively trying to buy the votes. to compensate for the political unpopularity of his position vis-a-vis Trump and vis-a-vis America at large.

So I don't think Trump made any orders, but the threat of a tariff is causing the liberals to try to do stupid things to buy their way out of unpopularity and to bankrupt the country even more than they've already done over the last nine years of their rule.

I am, my long-term plan is to stay here. I kind of like it more than, not more than I should. I mean, I love it.

And the problem is I don't, I'm very skeptical as to the future of Canada because you, especially once you've escaped that, not the silo, but you've escaped the culture of Canadian politics, you come down to Florida, you come down to the free states of America and you appreciate a mentality of freedom, a zeitgeist, a spirit of freedom. And it's not to say that it doesn't exist in Canada.

but there's too many Canadians who seem to be very happy to define themselves by not being American. And so even on the so-called conservative side, I don't see the conservatives as being the savior to Canadian politics like Trump, MAGA, and the populist movement was the savior to American politics. The conservatives, I don't see them as much different than the liberals.

You know, they support endless wars in Ukraine. You got Pierre Poilievre wearing the Ukrainian flag, saying Slava Ukraini, you know... in speeches. You've got the Conservative Party of Canada voting unanimously to support the conversion therapy ban.

You've got the Conservatives supporting censorship to a greater or lesser degree, not supporting the trucker protest until it becomes popular and then throwing them under the bus when it's no longer popular. So I don't see the same spirit on a large-scale populist movement that I see in America. And what's going to happen in Canada is it'll get worse.

They'll get a bit of a reprieve with a liberal-lite conservative government. But the broader population of Canada and the spirit of Canada seems to be very content to define itself as not American, even if it's shooting themselves in the foot by doing it. So that's a very long winded answer to say I like the spirit of Florida.
