Canada breaks all-time monthly trade record: $75.2 billion in exports. 🇨🇦 PM Carney wasn’t joking around with his pledge to Canadians.

Right! And we are all brainwashed to think it’s something to aspire to. I know this is old but the difference between one million and one billion is so vast I think people can’t comprehend it. One million seconds equals is 11.5 days. One billion seconds is 31.7 Years. And Elon is about to be a trillionaire. That would be 31,700 years. Now do the math in dollars. And the fact is that no one in the history of the world has ever attained that wealth by any other means then some form of domination over others. I do not begrudge financial success, but I do have a real problem when the the top 0.1% (130,000 families) hold 6 times the wealth as the bottom 66 million households combined. Put another way 905 individuals in America have twice the wealth of the entire bottom half of the country- 165,000,000 people. And it wasn’t always this way. The top 0.1 percent’s share of the U.S. wealth pie has grown 59.6 percent since just 1989.

🟥 Just a little more than a year into his first term and the world is already making songs praising Canada, and Carney's leadership. 🙂 #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦 🎶 "See what a real leader looks like Not a bully not a coward, not a hype Canada strong, elbows up, never forget The world is watching Carney and they ain't done yet Bold, confident and kind That's the Canadian Way" 🎶

7/And remember, the next time you think we're on the brink of Civil War, ask yourself who wants you to think that. Then go talk to your neighbors. More than a few, if that's what it takes. Have a little optimism; share some joy. There are ways out of this, but first we have to decide we actually want this to end.

Hope and her new fawn. Will ponder names.

How many can say this: New Yorker, February 2026: $4.05 billion in family take from ventures that exist because he’s president. Forbes: his net worth went from $3.9 billion to $7.3 billion by September 2025. Nearly doubled in eight months. Wall Street Journal: $4 billion in proceeds and paper wealth from ventures launched since his re-election. House Oversight Democrats’ wealth tracker: $5.1 billion in new family money. Bloomberg: crypto alone added $1.4 billion in a single year. One-fifth of the family fortune now sits in digital assets that didn’t exist the first time he ran. All that work is really paying off.

We have details of just how bad a deal the privatization scheme Stephen Harper forced on Edmonton is. The private contractor is charging us so much that in just two years of running it ourselves we can pay the entire 30-year termination fee. The waste is absurd.

The shortsighted rebranding of ambulances and paramedic services won't shorten wait times in the ER, and it won't make ambulances arrive any faster. What Albertans need is rebuilding and reinvesting in our public health care system.

Corb Lund has officially dropped off off what he says are more than 200,000 signatures for his Water Not Coal petition with Elections Alberta. If EA confirms at least 178K valid signatures, then Premier Danielle Smith has to act on it

Corb Lund says he's done it. He says he's got 178,000+ signatures, forcing the UCP to act on his Water Not Coal petition. Chatted with him about his apparent success, pushback from the likes of Brett Wilson, what he wants next and his message for Premier Danielle Smith.

I strongly condemn the vandalism of the Castle Mountain Internment Camp memorial in Banff. This memorial honours the memory of those who were unjustly interned during Canada’s first national internment operations, including many Ukrainians and other Europeans whose civil liberties were stripped away. Damaging a place of remembrance is deeply disrespectful to their memory, to their descendants, and to all Canadians who believe we must confront the difficult chapters of our history honestly. My thoughts are with the Ukrainian-Canadian community and all those hurt by this shameful act.

If this doesn't cause Alberta concern; we've got bigger problems coming. One note that caught my eye? 1.6 BILLION DOLLARS IN ACCOUNTING ERRORS? ALONE. Forensic Audit ASAP.

"Alberta’s New Democrats are calling on the UCP to stop the wasteful rebranding exercise and use the money to recruit and retain more health-care professionals including paramedics." #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Bombshell from Haberman and Swan: Trump wanted the Epstein issue buried and snapped at anyone who mentioned it. In the days before WSJ published that Epstein birthday book scoop, Trump tried to quash the story by calling Rupert Murdoch, News Corp.'s chief executive, and The Journal's editor in chief. He failed. nytimes.com/2026/06/10/mag…

Today, I signed a decree establishing a new special day – the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces. From now on, it will be observed every year on June 11. A day of our respect and gratitude to the USF. For the first time in the world, such a branch of the military was created – in Ukraine. We are developing the USF to the max, and it is Ukrainians who have proved that through technology, ingenuity, and courage, we can change the nature of warfare. We can achieve objectives that were previously either completely out of reach of conventional weapons or extremely difficult to achieve and required an enormous expenditure of resources. In just one year since the establishment of the USF Grouping, Russian targets of various levels worth nearly $40 billion have been struck. Most importantly, these are different types of strikes, and each one expands our ability to save lives. The Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are truly a model for many other militaries.

🚨 Russia just threatened Canada. The country that started the biggest war in Europe since Hitler — the one bombing apartment blocks and stealing Ukrainian kids — went on state TV today and called CANADA the warmonger. 🇨🇦 Why? Because we agreed to build drones for Ukraine on Canadian soil. So Moscow's mouthpiece, Maria Zakharova, announced Russia will publicly publish the addresses of those Canadian factories "so people can be informed." That's not a press release. That's a target list. Every accusation is a confession. They invade, then call the victims terrorists. They threaten our factories, then cry that WE'RE the dangerous ones. Pure projection, and it only works if we flinch. We don't flinch. I broke the whole thing down — the threat, the playbook, and why the only correct Canadian answer is "absolutely not, now build more drones." 👇🔗 open.substack.com/pub/deanblunde… Subscribe.

When I was in Peace River last week, Claudia stopped me in the middle of the road to tell me how much Canada means to her ❤️🇨🇦 Proud Canadians can be found all across Alberta!

On today’s episode of Idiocracy-The Reality Show. Brought to you by World Liberty Financial (an Uday/ Qusay production) Seems like President Trump is losing some of his mojo. Napping at home in the Oval is one thing, but on date night with Dolan at the Garden??? Get that man a Diet Coke. Sadly none of the cool kid celebs are coming to his $60M Wrestle Mania birthday bash… at least Lindsey G will be there! He loves wrestling. I’ve heard he might be entering the cage himself. At 6’3 224 lbs he is almost in the exact same shape as the 6’4 238 lbs Jon Jones in his prime. Amazing genes I guess. Thank goodness he did wake up long enough to end the war in Iran. Again. Again. And stay tuned for a preview of next week’s episode where once again the war in Iran will be over. Again.

We continue to apply Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry. In particular, last night Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos struck a military plant in Cheboksary that supplies the occupier’s army with components for drones and missiles. I thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their precision! The Kuibyshev oil refinery in the Samara region was also hit last night. The distance from the frontline is more than 900 kilometers. I am grateful to the warriors of the Special Operations Forces, the Unmanned Systems Forces, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. The entirely just responses of the Security Service of Ukraine also reached two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region, at a distance of 700 kilometers. I thank everyone who fights and works for Ukraine!
