Monetary History ofCanada


Posted originally by Martin Armstrong on March 12

Early 1600s: Beaver pelts are the one universally accepted medium of exchange, though wheat and moose skins are also legal tender

Mid 1600s: Wampum, or strings and belts made from shell beads, becomes legal tender in colonial New England. Eight white beads or four purple beads buy one penny.

Canada Playcard Money - 3

June 8, 1685: The first issue of card money occurs, which is printed on playing cards. The practice is criticized because it’s easy to counterfeit.

1722: Copper coins are introduced, though merchants didn’t like them; they continued to let people buy goods based on their own credit standing.

Eighteenth century: The lack of a standard currency and the differences in ratings given to the many coins in circulation in the colonies, “undoubtedly hindered trade and was a major source of economic inefficiency.”

Canada 1819 First Bank Note

1817: The Montreal Bank (subsequently the Bank of Montreal) issued the first bank notes in Canada after its establishment in 1817. Other banks soon followed suit. The notes were well received and became the main means of payment in British North America.

Canada 1911 $500

1854 – 1914: The Dominion of Canada is under the gold standard. The value of the Canadian dollar was fixed in terms of gold and valued at par with the U.S. currency. Both U.S. and British gold coins are legal tender in Canada.

July 11, 1864: The greenback sinks to less than 36 cents (Canadian), an all-time peak for the Canadian dollar, from close to parity in early 1862. It subsequently recovers through the decade and the currencies trade around par until the outbreak of the First World War.

Canada 1954 $1000

Mid-1950: Canadian dollar depreciates. The federal government cancels fixed parity, putting it at odds with the International Monetary Fund, and the Canadian currency appreciates.

Aug. 20, 1957: The Canadian dollar hits a peak of $1.06 (U.S.).

May 2, 1962: The government establishes a new par for the Canadian dollar, fixing it at 92.50 cents (U.S.) with a fluctuation band of 1 per cent.

May 31, 1970: The government floats the Canadian dollar amid a growing budget surplus and rising inflation.

April 25, 1974: The dollar hits a high of $1.04 (U.S.) against the greenback as global demand boosts the price of raw materials. The strength sparked fear about Canada’s export industries at a time when the unemployment rate was already high.

Nov. 15, 1976: The Parti Québécois is elected, causing markets to “make a major reassessment of the Canadian dollar’s prospects.” At the same time, commodity prices start to soften, inflation picks up. By 1979, the currency slides to 84 cents (U.S.).

August, 1981: The Bank of Canada’s key rate hits 21.2 per cent. By 1982, the dollar traded below 77 cents (U.S.).

Feb. 4, 1986: The Canadian dollar hits a record low of 69.13 cents (U.S.) as falling commodity prices hurt the economy.

1988-1989: The currency rebounds somewhat to close the decade at 86 cents (U.S.).

1990s: The currency weakens again, closing the decade at 69.29 cents (U.S.). Inflation and interest rates fall and commodity prices soften.

1998: The international crisis in emerging markets such as Russia and Latin America causes the dollar to slide as low as 63.11 cents (U.S.).

2002: The currency hits a record low of 61.98 cents (U.S.) on Jan. 18, 2002.

2006: The loonie tops 90 cents (U.S.), prompting calls for parity. It then weakens for much of the balance of the year.

2007: The loonie takes flight again. On May 31, it topped 94 cents (U.S.) – the highest level in 30 years. Later that year it hit parity in September. That fall the loonie hit its modern-day intra-day high of $1.10 (U.S.), and hit its highest closing price of $1.08 (U.S.) on Nov. 6, 2007.

2008: The loonie continued to trade near parity until it dipped below that level on July 21, 2008.

2009: The Canadian dollar closed at a recent low of 76 cents U.S. on March 9, 2009, before restarting a rapid ascent higher against a basket of international currencies.

2010: The loonie touches parity for the first time in 20 months on April 6, 2010.

Sanders’ Rally Mocks Christianity


Posted originally on Mar 13, 2025 by Martin Armstrong 

Sanders Bernie 1

The Trump Administration added protections for Christians for a reason. Christians have been relentlessly persecuted by the far-left who have turned wokeness into a religion. The media is split after Bernie Sanders, 83, launched his “stop oligarchy tour” with an introduction from a transexual singer who deliberately mocked God, Jesus, Holy Easter, and Christians in general.

The singer in question, Laura Jane Grace, uttered such filth that I do not want to repeat it on this blog, but many of the lyrics were extremely sexual and outright profane. All hell would break loose if this message was directed at anyone other than Christians.

Legacy media outlets are cheering Sanders “as the leader of the anti-Trump resistance.” People who deemed themselves anti-Biden were considered dangerous potential domestic terrorists. Intelligence agencies actually monitored such people and they were often prohibited from speaking out against Joe Biden online. Conservative rallies were closely monitored, unless someone wanted to attempt to assassinate the GOP candidate, and were often compared to Nazi rallies. Who seems to be intolerant here?

“What all of this tells me, is not just in Michigan or in Vermont, the people of this country will not allow us to move toward oligarchy. They will not allow Trump to take us into authoritarianism,” Sanders yelled. “We’re prepared to fight. And we’re going to win.”

Democrats believe that we are under an oligarchy because their candidates have lost. The people VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP and the policies he campaigned on. Sanders is effectively asking the public to boycott democracy and refuse to accept the leader chosen by the people.

Christians were frequently debanked under the Biden regime for holding opposing views. They were often prohibited from adopting children, and many had their children taken away for refusing to allow their children to switch genders. Pro-abortion protestors stormed churches during mass, shouting at churchgoers for holding differing beliefs. They were fired from their jobs for refusing to take the COVID experimental injection that used stem cells. Bibles were removed from schools and replaced with pro-trans literature for children. Drag queens received public funds to read these books to children, and parents were not allowed to question what was happening.

The woke movement is an anti-Christian movement. Christians cannot express their dissenting views without being perceived as intolerant. Imagine if Trump opened a rally with a singer who sexualized a leader of any other faith?

The newly established White House Faith Office should look into this rally that urged thousands to mock a religion out of pure hate. The Dems know that the woke agenda angers those who live in reality, which is exactly why Sanders’ rally began with a transexual mocking Jesus.

Brazil Clears Section of the Amazon Ahead of the COP30

Climate Change Tree

Over 50,000 people are expected to attend the COP30 climate summit this November in Belém, Brazil, where world leaders will concoct new ways to weaponize carbon usage against the people. Brazil’s president touted that it is historical since it is “a COP in the Amazon, not a COP about the Amazon.” Not only will the event be held in the Amazon, but the government has begun clearing tens of thousands of preserved acres within the Amazon ahead of the event.

The government states it needs to clear a section of the forest to build a new road to accommodate the expected 50,000 attendees. “Everything was destroyed,” one farmer told BBC. “Our harvest has already been cut down. We no longer have that income to support our family.” He is currently living off savings as the government has not compensated him for the loss.

Scientists have voiced concerns that the measure will disrupt the ecosystem and lead to a loss of wildlife. “Land animals will no longer be able to cross to the other side too, reducing the areas where they can live and breed,” one scientist stated.

Adler Silveira, the state government’s infrastructure secretary, admitted the measure is not about providing infrastructure to locals, as “more importantly, serve people for COP30 in the best possible way.”

Kerry Climate Czar

The federal government will invest over $81 million to expand the nearby airport from “seven to 14 million passengers.” As we know, the climate elite prefer to fly privately, although they believe you should drive an EV or take public transportation. The globalists are the “polluter elites” who want to implement prohibitions on consumption for the masses. The Guardian reported that the top 1% produce more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%. The climate change agenda is purely a control tactic, control over our tax spending, energy and food consumption, and freedom of movement. The very people preaching that we must abandon our way of life to save the world KNOW that it is a hoax.

The conference will mark the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement that put nations on a path of economic suicide by suffocating the entire energy sector. It is hard to understand how anyone supports these climate zealots who NEVER follow the rules they impose on the public.

JPMorgan Promises Not to Debank Christians or Conservatives


Posted originally on Mar 13, 2025 by Martin Armstrong

The US federal government weaponized the banking system to attack conservatives during the Biden Administration. A Congressional investigation committee released an extremely concerning report in December entitled: “FINANCIAL SURVEILLANCE IN THE UNITED STATES: HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WEAPONIZED THE BANK SECRECY ACT TO SPY ON AMERICANS” that details how the US government has been monitoring American citizens through bank transactions, with an emphasis on citizens who have expressed conservative viewpoints. The banks were caught red-handed and now some are expressing their need to change, so long as they are in line with whomever is currently in the White House.

JPMorgan Chase announced that it would be updating its code of conduct after conservative group Alliance Defending Freedom accused the bank of religious discrimination. The bank has updated its “diversity and inclusion” section to prevent discrimination against “religious views” or “political opinion.”

Debanking

JPMorgan Chase and other major institutions deny calculated debanking practices, but the Congressional investigation proved that banks were instructed to target people holding potential political and religious dissenting views under the Bank Secrecy Act. The Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) E-Filing System is a system for financial institutions to file reports required by the BSA electronically. By law, the BSA requires businesses to keep records and file reports to help prevent and detect money laundering. This is how the Biden Administration is attempting to disregard privacy and weaponize financial institutions.

Banks were instructed to search transactions for keywords such as “Trump” and “MAGA” to look for “domestic terrorists.” We are awarded the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment, but the Biden Administration wanted to know who was purchasing firearms as exercising 2A rights was enough to deem any ordinary citizen “suspicious.” Any American who PURCHASE A BIBLE was considered a person of interest. This is extremely troubling and goes beyond government overreach and violated numerous Constitutional protections.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects American citizens from blatant discrimination based on religion. If a bank refused to allow Hindus, Muslims, Jews, or any other religion to access their bank accounts, there would be civil unrest on the streets. The West permits the open persecution of Christians because 1) they do not want nations to have a united identity (i.e., a Christian nation), and 2) Christians tend to vote conservative.

“In sum, by providing financial institutions with lists of people that it views as generally “suspicious” on the front end, the FBI has turned this framework on its head and contravened the Fourth Amendment’s requirements of particularity and probable cause,” the Congressional investigation states.

Donald Trump called out JPMorgan Chase at Davos in January 2024. “I don’t know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what, but you and [JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon] and everybody, I hope you’re going to open your banks to conservatives, because what you’re doing is wrong,” Trump said at Davos.

Debanking is a worldwide phenomenon of governments weaponizing banking institutions. We saw Trudeau debank protestors among the Canadian trucking convoy movement, for example, and I reported how Britain debanked Nigel Farage for his opposing views.

The UN-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance aims to punish anyone not adhering to the climate change agenda financially, and over 144 banks have signed on board. I reported that a bullion dealer I personally know suddenly had his credit lines revoked. Governments genuinely believe the people are underpaying taxes by at least 35%. They want to eliminate all financial hedges against government and financially cripple those who do not abide by the agenda.

The Process President Trump Can Use to Release ANY Information, Regardless of Classification Level


Posted originally on CTH on March 13, 2025 | Sundance

The President of the United States is recognized in the U.S. Constitution as a person; the ultimate control authority within the Executive Branch of Government. President Donald J Trump is that person.

I am citing two examples below; however, the same approach applies to any information President Trump would want to release to the general public.  There is absolutely no way for the Administrative State to block or impede this approach.

Dear Mr. President and White House counsel:

Understanding the ordinary process of declassifying documents or releasing information is a request and authorization to the executive officers and stakeholders of classified information. And understanding the current authorization or request for information is not ordinary because the intelligence community stakeholders and Washington DC are averse to the interests of the office of the president; here is a process to cut through the chaff and countermeasures.

The background here is that any unilateral declassification request, demand or authorization by President Trump puts him opposition to a variety of corrupt interests.

As a direct result the executive office of the president will be facing legal action, likely from unified democrats and republicans in the legislative branch.  With that accepted, here is the most strategic approach.

In anticipation of litigation:

President Trump informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, that he wishes to have a full intelligence briefing on the following documents (more may be added), all documents are to be presented without a single redaction:

The full and complete records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The full and complete records relating to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

The President selects a date for this briefing and through direct orders to his chief of staff, Susie Wiles and National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, informs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to advise and coordinate with all executive branch intelligence officials, who were/are stakeholders in the compartmented intelligence products as described above, of their request be present for the briefing.

The White House counsel’s office is not to be informed of the intent or purpose of the meeting; however, the Presidents’ White House counsel is requested to attend. Further, all of the compartmented intelligence is to be collectively assembled by the ODNI (Gabbard) into one volume of a singular Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) although each set might be file boxes.  There are to be eighteen printed copies of the PDB material assembled and secured for the briefing, post haste.

Additionally, the office of the president personally informs the ODNI (Gabbard) of the executives’ request to invite for the briefing each member of the legislative branch Intelligence Community oversight known as the Gang-of-Eight.

Immediately after the briefing by the executive level (cabinet) department officials, while remaining in a closed and classified session, the full and comprehensive content of this collective intelligence product will be discussed with the full assembly of the U.S. Legislative Branch Intelligence Oversight known as the Gang of Eight.

Therefore, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is instructed to coordinate with the ODNI (Gabbard) for the attendance of the Gang of Eight: Speaker Mike Johnson, Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, HPSCI Chairman Rick Crawford, HPSCI Ranking Member Jim Himes, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton and SSCI Vice-Chair Mark Warner. [Topic “TBD”]

In order to facilitate the briefing. Each member of the participating group will be provided with one full printed copy of the material assembled by the ODNI during the briefing.

[Each of the participants carries the prerequisite clearances, legal and constitutional authority to engage with the classified documents according to their position and status. Only the executive can assemble the product for Go8 review and feedback]

At the conclusion of the briefing; and after hearing from, and engagement with, each of the participating members of the executive intelligence offices and duly authorized legislative oversight representatives; and after listening to their opinion as to the subject material discussed; the president announces to the fully assembled leadership of both the Executive branch (cabinet) and Legislative branch (Go8), it is his opinion the National Interests of the United States can best be served with the American people having a full, transparent and honest review of the material assembled and discussed.

The President, no-one else, only the President, [with his affirmed constitutional power and protection – as acting within his official duty] then collects the printed portfolios [or boxes] as they were distributed to the participants, exits the briefing, and walks directly into the James Brady press briefing room within the White House; handing each of the awaiting twelve members of the national media a copy of the briefing material to be published on behalf of the American people.

At exactly the same time as President Trump enters the briefing room, one copy of the assembled portfolio is hand delivered, by President Trump only, to White House communications director with instructions to scan and release the content to the public through the White House website.

Done.

The American people are aware…

Crazy Lawfare – DC District Judge Beryl Howell Now Rules President Trump Cannot Make National Security Decisions on Private Enterprise or Law Firms


Posted originally on CTH on March 12, 2025 | Sundance

In more than a few ways this decision is even more crazy than District Judge Beryl Howell’s prior rulings.

Judge Howell (pictured below) issued a temporary restraining order, blocking President Trump from barring the law firm of Perkins Coie from representing federal contractors.

There are a few outlines of the hearing HERE and HERE that essentially tell the story.  Consider this quote:

“When you say that if the president, in his view, takes the position that an individual or an organization or a company is operating a way that is not in the nation’s interests, he can issue an executive order like this and take steps to bar that individual, that entity, that company from doing any business with the government, terminate whatever contracts they’ve got, bar them from federal buildings,” Howell said. “I mean, that’s a pretty extraordinary power for the president to exercise.”

Yes, and that’s called the power of the presidency.  Apparently Judge Howell has never heard of ‘executive power’ that allows the elected President of the United States to determine what is in our nation’s best interests.  Approving his ability to make these decisions, is what that whole voting thing is all about.

Howell further pressed — what would happen if Trump were to “get annoyed” by the law firm representing Perkins Coie in this lawsuit and issue a separate order targeting them?

“If he made a finding that there’s a national security risk with a particular law firm, then yes,” Mizelle responded.

Chad Mizelle is not exactly the best voice to be making the DOJ argument, after all it was this knucklehead who as Rod Rosenstein’s counsel wrote the authorities for the Robert Mueller special counsel.  However, on this issue Mizelle is exactly correct.

Yes, the president has the ability to make decisions about national security threats and private enterprises who the President might feel are detrimental to the national security of our nation, like Perkins Coie.  Howell then went into crazyville to extend her logic.

The executive order, which Trump issued last week, “runs head on into the wall of First Amendment protections,” the judge concluded.

No. That’s not at all what the executive order does.  Perkins Coie is free to talk about how terrible Donald Trump is, free to rail against him, free to take to the public square and decry his approach, free to do and say anything they want; the law firm just cannot represent federal contractors or hold security clearances granting them access to materials that are national security matters.

The core of Beryl Howell’s decision boils down to her wanting to protect the business interests of Perkins Coie. Howell/Coie want the firm to retain access to clients who are federal contractors.

Even Perkins Coie didn’t try to keep their security clearances because they know the President has absolute plenary power to issue or remove them.

[…] The executive order also stripped security clearances from lawyers at the firm, but the firm has not challenged that provision. Under Supreme Court precedent, the president has nearly unfettered discretion to grant or remove security clearances.

Dane Butswinkas, a lawyer representing Perkins Coie, described the president’s order as “like a tsunami waiting to hit the firm.”

“It truly is life-threatening. … It will spell the end of the law firm,” he said. (source)

Apparently, stopping Perkins Coie from representing federal contractors will “spell the end of the law firm.”

That’s interesting.
