Show notes
Canada has been taking the fight to the MAGA regime and they are enraged. Meidas Canada looks at some of the scrappy actions of Canadians this week. Lisa Blackburn investigates the AI data scheme in Cape Breton and how the Houston government threw out journalists who came to hear the "good news" of tech lords moving into Nova Scotia.

PUTIN'S WHITE HOUSE PUPPET
Show notes
What does Trump's plan to block Canadian potash to support a Russian puppet state have to do with Donald Jr.'s wedding? The fact that the wedding was paid for by a buddy of Vladimir Putin says it all. Agent Krasnov is at it again. When is the US establishment going to get serious about the fact that there is a total Russian stooge calling the shots in the White House?
