It was a great listen.

Don’t fall for the pysop Trish. The media is seeking to demoralize conservatives. We will pray out the vote

I guess if you have succumbed to the intense decades of propaganda and social engineering, you might not realize that you are a member of a race. I assure you, every other race does. The faster we lose the idea of "conservatives" who have conserved absolutely nothing, and realize that what we want to conserve is the genetics and ways of our race, the better. Is that helpful?

Thank goodness for the courageous independents and thanks for giving them airtime Trish. Without these and many others out their slogging it out, no one would no of Carney's corruption and conflicts of interests, tax evasion and lying. This is what our media landscape has become and it more like a hell scape, when even the likes of Bob Fife start calling independent journalists 'right wing agitators pulling stunts for money,' or Andrew Coyne, who I lost respect for long ago, calling them 'bully boys and grifters". These 'legacy' or the cartel, as you have rightly described them broke what I believe is one of the cardinal rules of journalism when they had their meltdown over a few reporters actually practising journalism -- they made themselves the story.

As for the election, this is my take. If Poilievre loses than I will say it was a stolen election. Stolen first my Jagmeet Singh who has now publicly stated he blocked non-confidence votes because he could bear the idea of Poilievre heading up a majority Conservative government. He did this despite countless surveys that told him Canadians were screaming for an election. So a guy heading up a party that has 24 seats out of the 343 seats in the House of Commons, essentially held the country hostage and now proudly proclaims that's what he did and why he did it. They meddling of the media in this election is as bad as the meddling of the media in the US election of 2020, suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop, still trying to push the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax and just of course calling Trump a dictator and Hitler... which they took to new levels in 2024. Whether there was meddling with the ballots, is really neither here nor there, it was the media that was in overdrive to smear Trump and prop up Biden.

It is not much different here. Every thing thrown at Carney never seems to stick. The report on a dystopia 2040 Canada, should have ended Carney, but the media buried it or whitewashed it, smearing Poilievre for make such a big deal about it. Button-Gate, why were there no further interest after Carney apologized and plead ignorance? Who were the guilty parties that got caught by spouting off in the bar? Why were their identities kept secret, and why were they reassigned rather than fired? There has got to be a paper trail for getting those buttons printed off that someone in the PCO had to sign for? If this was found to be a plot hatched at the very top, and proven, it could have been the deal breaker, because that in itself it election tampering. But two days and the story disappeared. As much as the independents do, they can only do so much, and often what they do, never goes beyond the audience they have, again because of the dishonesty and bias of a media that refuses to bite the hand that feeds them. It is disheartening, disgusting and if Carney wins it will likely be the end of Canada... as we know it. But the CBC will be happy, they'll get another cool billion.

We should always remember that much of what we see in politics is not what it seems. That applies to the Trump tariff thing. Canada has Alberta Tar Sands and Natural Gas which the USA sorely covets, it's a real need in the next few years.

Carney expressed his authoritarian and militaristic views about dissent quite clearly during the Convoy, in print no less. At least Pollievre stood by and watched the protestors come visit. But what we seem to forget too easily is that the only fight going on is between the 1% and the rest of us. It's a vertical one, not a Left / Right one. They created the party system to divide us.

When I see a party that makes a credible plan to force the "Bank of Canada" to do its job as a "PUBLIC BANK" I will listen. When I see a party that has a credible plan to re nationalize ALL"public services"; again, I will pay attention. In other words, a government with the cojones to take back my country from the neoliberal compradors. I see no chance of that happening under ANY party. The rest is just a ploy to differentiate through boutique issues and has been for My entire life. We once had a credible alternative that could and would make significant changes but that's long gone with the death of the real NDP. Europe is done and that's where Carney goes? China is the future and we burned that bridge so we'll just continue as a vassal State run by compradors as always. I can guarantee you that the Sun will rise in the East on the 29th and the downward slide will continue at about the same pace so don't take this stuff too seriously and wind up being a hater or a hated one, that's what the ruling classes have always wanted.

No offense but I would suggest that if you have the time and money that you take a trip to China and see the reality for yourself. Walk alone in any large City at any hour and you will be safe. Even the Police don't carry guns. The people are well dressed and obviously happy. The food and the trains are to die for. In the meantime, you might want to watch on YouTube, "Inside China Business" presented by Kevin Walmsly, an American business man. It's all meat, no filler. Has lived there for more than a decade. Cyrus Janssen , another American who lived there for more than a decade and mastered the language in three years will tell and show you more truth. China just built a very large infant formula plant in, I believe, Kingston Ontario. From desperate poverty to, easily the largest real economy on earth in two generations. You won't find homelessness because they build homes. When they go abroad, they go for legitimate win win business, not to extract wealth through financial, compradors and if need be coup's. Canadian resource corporations are among the nastiest in the world. We could learn a lot from Chinese culture.

In my business circles, no one will even engage in a conversation with Chinese business. The overt theft of intellectual property is well known. But, per Sam Cooper, China does produce high quality fentanyl.

Agreed. However I think lauding over China after the West basically funded everything by buying Most of our consumer products from a communist system? Shake your head . We all remember the iconic picture of one man standing in Tiananmen Square reminded us that the people have no say. Hong Kong “disappeared” as a democracy and our own protest invoked martial law. Sam Cooper exposes what really goes on. The corruption in our countries institutions is all coming from PRC. The fentanyl crisis is being driven by China in conjunction with Columbia (China is heavily invested) Mexico (China is heavily invested) The Cartels and corrupt NGO’s in the USA and Canada. There was no mention of the social credit system ( which is essentially UBI) ; yes China has all the stuff we should have ; if we just opened up our resource sector - instead Carneys company exports coal to China whilst we are told to pay for carbon. We are the most sanctioned and delusional country these days. Probably too many clotshots .

At what cost comes “safety”, I wonder. Endless surveillance? A social credit system designed to control the population? I don’t doubt that such an ancient culture has much to admire, but I have a hard time living in a nanny state that censors wrong think. I am actually talking about Canada for that last one, not just China. Maybe Canadians value being looked after by the state, but that is a wish to eschew growing up, in my opinion. My freedom to express myself is crucial to my well being and I am not willing to trade it for so called safety, so I tend to push back against the “Father knows best” style of government. I don’t vote for anyone who thinks they have a mandate to parent adults.

I worked for an energy company bought out by a Chinese man who needed to get his money out of China. His wife, who spoke English, brokered the deal and received zero credit for that. She wasn't allowed to meet the Canadian staff. He also had to take pictures of the Canadian staff working at their desks and swapped out a white, Canadian female employee at the reception desk for a picture, because the Canadian born Asian female at the desk, looked too Chinese for him. The way they treated female employees was disgusting. I couldn't leave that company fast enough after this takeover. Karma was good and that company is now in receivership and he lost his money.

If you like China so much, please go live there, but do NOT suggest that their culture is something we should emulate here in Canada. The horrific treatment of the Uyghur population in China should also be enough not to want their "culture".

Exactly what I am thinking and all of your efforts and the efforts of others are making a difference. I work for a couple that are in their late seventies. neither of them ever watch cable TV or mainstream media. They asked if I would tell them which YouTube channels were good to watch for election coverage so don't believe the b*******. The mainstream is never going to acknowledge anything that is anti liberal and until they are completely decimated we just keep plugging away.

Ezra Levant found another Carney 'shell' company located on The Isle of Man. Clearly, the 'INDIE' journalists are doing the heavy lifting of what REAL JOURNALISTS are supposed to do, especially when they're REPORTING on any story. RESEARCH/ INVESTIGATE - locate fact-based evidence and interviewees, FORMULATE QUESTIONS - learn how to reframe your questions to achieve the desired answers, obtain EXACT QUOTES, WRITE or REPORT on the 'UNBIASED' STORY - unless it's an OP/ED. PROBLEM: It appears that slanting stories and including biases is the 'normal' practice now for ALL forms of 'media'. What was once a format to encourage debate has become an instigater of mass divisiveness spawning hostility in everyone. Not like this hasn't occurred throughout history, however, this has been heightened to incredible levels over the last decade. This week's election outcome is going to be brutal. I'm sorry to say, but my intuitive radar is on high alert, though I wish it wasn't, it's NOT something I can turn off like a switch. I dare not reveal my predictions, as I am praying I'm wrong. Yet, everything that's happened these past 5 years has aligned with what I uncovered about THE WEF, their agendas and ideologies, 5 years ago. All of us accused of being 'conspiracy theorists' have been proven correct. The NEW WORLD ORDER has been written about by many over several decades. The DEVIL is in the details. As a 'side' note, EPSTEIN'S accuser, Virginia Guiffre has died at 41; cause of death, SUICIDE! Think on that for awhile.

Could go on ad nauseam… but one more point: why can I not claim a capital loss every time I spend loonies?! Bitcoin has held a mirror to existing financial “systems” and it is NOT pretty —putting it mildly!

Very relevant over the last few years of loonie debasement… and such a law (capital loss claim on loonie transactions) would be a pre-emptive protection for citizens against even more extreme debasements that are increasingly in the realm of possibilities

What a refreshing podcast! To have four, wide-awake, eloquent and well-adjusted people all peacefully contributing to a quite profound and heartfelt analysis is a phenomenon not often seen in Canada these days. The CBC 'panels' have all the charm of Revolutionary Tribunals.

Coffee with Trish - better than Dinner With Andrei.

Some dark thoughts arise though and the feeling that something is inevitably being missed. A possible key piece of the puzzle of what is driving this fairly obvious destruction of Canada.

Trish intuitively went to Solzhenitsyn's Harvard speech which signalled the end of the West's honeymoon with the great Russian thinker and writer. How dare the well-cared-for dog bite the hand that feeds him! There is much more there but as my post is already too long, I will save it for a Rainy Day Monday which I hope never comes.

Too bad that Carney's preemptive treason against Canada could not be exposed before this crucial election. Among other things, he declared war on the US as an interim, unelected PM.

The sophisticated villainy of the Liberal Party of Canada, in timing, message and choice of candidate, bears the stamp of MI6 and the Palace. The Canada card, held in reserve since the American Revolution, is being played in this last-chance grab for global dominance.

If the Anglo-Ziosphere fails to assemble a winning hand, we may see more than detente or rapprochement between Russia and the USA. We may see an alliance. https://www.tarikcyrilamar.com/p/detente-without-ukraine?r=1d5s28&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

"Elbows Up" is a sad, sadistic joke written by the same people who did the "Come to the dark side" PR campaign, managed out of the City of London, for Zelensky.

Alex Krainer has been unearthing some strange, jumbled bones in this palace plot, and he starts forensically assembling them.

"Marco Rubio explained, "President Trump isn't going to take that. He's not going to get gamed. He hopes Zelensky isn't trying to hustle the United States, that's not going to be productive here." Of course, everybody and their dogs by now appreciate that Zelensky gets his detailed instructions from London."

My hope now is somehow its only a Liberal minority..I would say there is a 25-30 percent chance of this. If the Bloc are a bit stronger and gain maybe 5 seats from the Libs. If Toronto suburbs go a bit more Conservative and they take 10 more there and if BC also can flip another 5-8 seats. But its a tall order. I see CBC had the "Trump was serious about the 51st state" news. Hats off to you Trish for all your hard work in trying to tell the truth as well as some of the other indy media.

This the stay in touch part you asked about. Because you’re on line processing the dystopian path this country is heading for I listen to you. I have my own thoughts and feelings here which I used to negotiate our present predicament. We are similar on one fact “ governments lie and always question authority “. How we achieve an equitable loving society without giving into ideologies and wokism with a large dose of guilt externalizer is a great question.

Kamala Harris vs Donald Trump was a re-play of the 1972 McGovern vs Nixon. There's no way on Earth the American People will elect a San Francisco Marxist. Same as We wouldn't ever have a west of river South Dakota Democrat as President.

But this "Liberal" Carney is a Bankster to the bone. A Corporate Socialist. Which is somehow attractive to "most" people. . . Not.

Bottom Line is the collective wisdom of the Canadian People won't have it. It'll be like this past November, with Polievre declared the winner by 9 pm.
