The Canadian Government Could Confiscate Your Pet


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 22, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

In a new low for democracy, the Ottawa By-law enforcement agency made it clear that they are not above confiscating pets to quell to the protests. “Attention animal owners at [the] demonstration: If you are unable to care for your animal as a result of enforcement actions, your animal will [be] placed into protective care for 8 days, at your cost. After 8 days, if arrangements are not made, your animal will be considered relinquished,” the tweet read.

This means that if a Canadian is arrested for exercising their legal right to protest, the government could seize their pet as they await trial behind bars. The internet is ablaze with angry questions demanding to know what “relinquished” entails. Do they plan to kill these innocent pets? First, Fauci tortured beagle puppies, and now Ottawa is ready to confiscate pets. Did Klaus seek out the cruelest people humanity has to offer to push his agenda forward?

Pets become part of the family. Truckers on long-haul commutes often have a dog for companionship, and once the Canadian government is facing a mob of irate truckers whose beloved pets were seized, they’re going to have a much bigger problem on their hands.

American Trucking Association Expects Trucker Shortage to Continue


Armstrong Blog/North America Re-Posted Feb 22, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

There was a trucker shortage before coronavirus hit. The American Trucking Association (ATA) estimates that the US is still short of 80,000 drivers, and that number is expected to decline. The Freedom Convoy has shown the world the importance of truck drivers. The ATA estimates that the shortage could surpass 160,000 by 2030 based on current employment trends.

The ATA stated that the following factors are primarily driving the shortage:

  • High average age of current drivers, which leads to a high number of retirements;
  • Women making up only 7% of all drivers, well below their representation in the total workforce;
  • Inability of some would-be and current drivers to pass a drug test, a problem exacerbated by an increasing number of states legalizing marijuana (a substance still banned federally);
  • The federally mandated minimum age of 21 to drive commercially across state lines poses a significant challenge to recruiting new drivers;
  • The pandemic caused some drivers to leave the industry, plus truck driver training schools trained far fewer drivers than normal in 2020;
  • Lifestyle issues, notably time away from home, especially in the longer-haul market;
  • Infrastructure and other issues, like a lack of truck parking spots, which causes drivers to stop driving earlier than they need to so they can get a spot for the night, and congestion which limits drivers’ ability to safely and efficiently make deliveries;
  • Other barriers to entry like inability of potential candidates to meet carriers’ hiring standards for driving record or criminal histories

The report also notes that the trucking industry will need to recruit one million people to replace the retiring population. Rising payrates for long-haul truckers have reached five times the historical average, but the report states that pay raises alone will not attract new drivers since “some drivers will choose to work less at a higher pay rate, negating the impact of the increase.”

America will allow 18-year-olds to go to war but does not trust them to drive a truck. Those with criminal histories, even if non-violent or unrelated to their ability to safely operate a vehicle, are also barred from entering the field. The infrastructure issue noted is within the government’s control. “The solution to the driver shortage will most certainly require increased pay, regulatory changes and modifications to shippers’, receivers’ and carriers’ business practices to improve conditions for drivers,” the ATA’s report concluded. More must be done to attract the new generations into the field of trucking. Seeing how governments (looking at you, Canada) treat those within the industry certainly makes the job less appealing.

The West’s Desperate Effort to Switch the Enemy from COVID to Putin


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Feb 22, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

From the outset, my position was that Ukraine should have been split according to language. Borders have been drawn by politicians, and this policy has given us so many problems over the years. It is language and culture that should define a national border. Ukraine is exerting old-world imperialistic philosophy. While Putin ordered Russian troops Monday to “maintain peace” in two separatist territories in eastern Ukraine shortly after recognizing the Russian-backed areas as independent, naturally the West and Ukraine are claiming this is illegal. Putin has often referred to Ukraine as “little Russia.”

However, what is being ignored here is that those two regions are predominantly Russia which happened to be allocated to Ukraine because of the Soviet Union as was the case with Crimea. From the outset, I argued that Ukraine should have been split according to the dominant language. There are many Russians living in the West who simply speak Ukrainian to blend in.

Putin lamented the Soviet Union’s collapse which I have stated before was a sore issue with Putin. He recognized the Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic and made very clear that he views Ukraine historically as part of Russia. As I have stated before, the Russ capital was Kyiv. The Mongols invaded in 1240 and destroyed their capital leaving only the Golden Gate still standing. Kyiv was originally the first capital of Russia. It took nearly 100 years later for Moscow to rise as a city. All that remains of the ancient capital of Kyiv are the ruins known as the Golden Gate constructed during the 11th Century. Putin’s statement some press call “false” and that only illustrates either their stupidity or their deliberate false narrative.

I warned back in 2013 that our model highlighted Ukraine as the tipping point in the rise of the War Cycle. Putin did say: “This was a speech to the Russian people to justify a war. In fact, he once again explicitly threatened one.” Russia entered Crimea in FebMarch 2014 which was on time with our War Cycle which turned up in 2014. This is the chart from the 2011 WEC in Philadelphia. We are now approaching 8.6 years into this cycle and this is the first critical turning point.

Ivan Mazepa was a Ukrainian who supported the Swedish against the Russians. The Battle of Poltava on June 27th, 1709 was a turning point in Russian history. This was a battle, where Peter the Great and the Russians defeated the Swedish army at a turning point in a war with Sweden. Poltava is actually in Ukraine, and Ivan Mazepa remains a Ukrainian hero and a traitor to Russia to this very day. This was the decisive battle that placed Russia as a major power on the European stage of politics. So here we are facing the 309.6-year cycle and we see Ukraine matched against Russia once again.

Meanwhile, the West has been on its hands and knees begging for Putin to invade Ukraine. They know that rarely will the people throw out of power a government during a war. This is what they are counting on and it is why Biden refused any concession to Putin. That was a slap in the face and Europe is so weak it could not muster the strength to defend itself from Russia. But the covert benefit is that the EU will use this to create an EU army and this solidifies power over all European states. The White House bluntly said that Biden’s potential summit with Putin to talk through the crisis was probably off. This is the time when you should be talking and the fact that Biden withdraws illustrates their desire to keep Russia and a threat to Europe for all the elections in 2022.

The Kremlin decree signed by Putin did NOT specify whether or when Russian troops would enter Ukrainian territory. It came as President Joe Biden signed an executive order to sanction any Americans who invest in the eastern Ukraine regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, which are the two separatist regions that have sought independence from Ukraine. All Biden will ever do is make matter worse because this appears to be the true agenda that they need Putin and the new enemy as COVID uprisings appear and they now need to change the emergency.

Canada Arresting Journalists – This is Face of New Age of Totalitarianism


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 21, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

This is what is WRONG with our legal system in both Canada and the United States. The government gets to violate our rights, and it is our burden to go to court to say they are wrong. But they confiscate all your available funds and then prevent you from even going to court.

Is Canada Doomed in the Death Grip of the WEF?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re- Posted Feb 21, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Trudeau is an egotistical narcissist and if the Conservative party can nominate a reasonable party leader without being seen as a puppet for the former piano-playing, rock star leader of the Conservative Prime Minister then Trudeau will be a bad memory. Although to be fair, French-speaking Canadians have been a part of the protests in Ottawa and to make a comment that Quebec is against English-speaking truck drivers is racist. One racist is not better than another. So please Martin, do not allow stupidity to become a part of your commentary.

Sincerely, Peter

REPLY: You are correct. I perhaps did not explain it correctly. The trucker convoy is NOT exclusively Alberta where Trudeau assumed. This was the primary reason he refused to yield because he sees Alberta as EVIL and against the Climate Change Agenda of the World Economic Forum. Thus, he called police from Quebec assuming since they are French they will defend him against the evil Western English he does not consider to be Canadians. Based upon reliable sources, he seems to think that there is still this inherent anti-English based in Quebec that always wanted to separate from the rest of Canada. So he was trying to fan those flames.

But you are correct. The truckers are NOT exclusively from the West but include those from all the provinces. Trudeau’s name-calling of the Truckers includes all labels and he has been racist in his characterization. They are not all English-speaking white supremacist red-necks.

There are those who want a no-confidence vote to remove Trudeau, but he would probably be replaced with Freeland who is the Deputy Prime Minister or Carney. However, people need to know that Schwab has been very strategic in his quest to impose his economic theories upon the world. He has indeed penetrated governments around the world. But he holds a death-grip around the throat of Canada.

BOTH Chrystia FREELAND and Mark CARNEY are not just members of Schwab’s Young Global Leaders. They are BOTH on his Board of Trustees. When the Canadian Parliament refuses to allow any question about the connections of Schwab controlling the Canadian government, they refuse to answer and call this all “misinformation” when it is a matter of public record. Canada is DOOMED and unless it restores its sovereignty and freedom from Schwab’s grand experiment, the future of Canada is one of separation and division. The C$ has the risk of dropping to even 62 cents by 2023.

FDA Warns of Vaccine Induced Positive Syphilis Test


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 21, 2022 | sundance | 195 Comments

As if there wasn’t enough sketchy stuff amid positive HIV tests as a result of the COVID-19 vaccination program, apparently now there’s a vaccine induced positive syphilis result.  FDA LINK 

[Link to pdf]

I guess that’s why they call it “practicing” medicine.

On a serious note, it would be interesting to see what the difference is between people who took the vaccine and the percentage of people who then took the booster shot(s) after adverse vaccine events began getting recorded.  Are there a lot of people who took the original vaccine, but later wouldn’t continue taking the booster shots?

Canadian Communists and Socialists Unite to Declare Support for Emergency War Declaration Against Canadian Citizens, Parliament Approves Emergency Act 185 to 151


Posted Originally on the conservative tree house on February 21, 2022 | sundance | 523 Comments

The Communists (NDP) and the Socialists (LPC) united in the Canadian House of Parliament today to vote their support for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s deployment of the Emergency War Measures Act.

The vote was 185 in support and 151 against, as the Canadian government now officially declares war against citizens who protested against government.

The parliamentary support of the Emergency War Measures Act now gives the government the authority to hunt down their political opposition, arrest any dissident member who may have petitioned their government with grievances against the covid mandates, and begin seizing the financial assets of anyone who might still challenge the government mandates of Justin Trudeau.

(VIA CBC) – A motion affirming the Liberal government’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act passed a crucial House of Commons vote Monday, ensuring the expansive powers contained in the act remain in use by authorities thanks to parliamentary support from the New Democrats. 

While the powers contained in the Emergency Act took effect immediately, the Liberal government needed to seek approval for its decision to invoke the act from the House of Commons within seven days. If that vote had failed, the emergency declaration would have been revoked. (read more) 

The government of Justin Trudeau has already announced their intent to make the authority within the emergency act a permanent status in Canadian law.  A state of economic civil war now exists in Canada.

Conduct your affairs accordingly.

The best course of action for a Canadian resistance movement would be a general strike against liberal interests.

The blue-collar working class is being hunted by the elite communist and socialist class.  In this specifically created caste system, a rebellion is most effective when the working class stop facilitating the lives of the oppressor group.

Stay small, comply strategically, think like an insurgent, and use every opportunity to throw sand into the machinery.

Above all…. never let the bastards wear you down!

Russian President Putin Recognizes Donetsk and Luhansk as Independent Breakaway Territories of Ukraine – Biden Fires Back by Sanctioning the People Living in Donetsk and Luhansk


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 21, 2022 | sundance | 303 Comments

As the White House continues to escalate tensions in/around Ukraine, in order to create the self-fulfilling prophecy of Joe Biden as the magnanimous savior of all things Ukrainian, Russian President Vladimir Putin now starts positioning his own leverage against the western geopolitical narrative.

Delivering a national address today, Russian President Putin announced Russia would recognize the eastern Ukraine regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent breakaway territories. “I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago — to immediately recognize the independence and sovereignty of the Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic,” Putin said in his televised address.

Immediately following Putin’s remarks, the Joe Biden administration began organizing other allied governments to condemn Putin’s decision as a flagrant violation of the Minsk peace accords.  The prior agreement of ‘limited political autonomy‘ paused a nearly eight-year-long regional fight in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine.  The people within the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine are favorable to Russia, supportive of Russia and do not align with the official government of Ukraine.

European leaders and the U.K. then vowed to trigger additional sanctions against Russia for Putin’s decision to support Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions within Ukraine.  However, the EU/UK did not outline what sanctions would be triggered, in part because the EU still wants to purchase energy from Russia, and in part because, well, meaningless prose is always the way the EU works.

This is, after all, a geopolitical exhibition of political theatre, you’ll see how below.

Following Putin’s remarks, the Kremlin also released a statement repeating their claims of western Ukraine military aggression that the government of Ukraine have repeatedly denied. The White House then released a statement saying Joe Biden called Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

WHITE HOUSE – President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine to reaffirm the commitment of the United States to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. President Biden strongly condemned Russian President Putin’s decision to purportedly recognize the “independence” of the so-called DNR and LNR regions of Ukraine.

He updated President Zelenskyy on the United States’ response, including our plan to issue sanctions. President Biden reiterated that the United States would respond swiftly and decisively, in lock-step with its Allies and partners, to further Russian aggression against Ukraine. (more) 

The White House then tells us that Biden called French weasel Macron, who has been working as a narrative engineer on behalf of the people who control Joe Biden.  Nothing happened, no actual sanctions were discussed, they just talked again and agreed to keep talking about what they have been discussing in their talks:

WHITE HOUSE – President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke with President Emmanuel Macron of France and Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany today about Russia’s ongoing escalation along the borders of Ukraine. The leaders strongly condemned President Putin’s decision to recognize the so-called DNR and LNR regions of Ukraine as “independent.” They discussed how they will continue to coordinate their response on next steps. (read more)

The White House then stomped their feet and turned a glaring stare toward the people in Eastern Ukraine who are favorable to Russia.

Instead of punishing Russia or issuing sanctions against Russia, Joe Biden signed an executive order [READ HERE] that targets the people who live in the eastern Ukraine regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.  Anyone from inside this DNR/LNR region of Ukraine is now blocked from any access to the U.S. financial system, banned from travel to the United States, and all U.S. assets and property of Ukrainian citizens in the disputed region are now frozen.

If you live in Eastern Ukraine and you do not align with the interests of Western Ukraine, Europe, NATO and the United States you are now being punished.  The intent seems to be to make the Eastern Ukrainians suffer for supporting their independence.  So much for that freedom thing.

The Executive Order outlines the punishment:

[…] “For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual.  I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, expanded in Executive Orders 13661 and 13662, and further expanded by this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 2 of this order. (LINK)

Despite the public proclamations that Russia is to blame for all the ills in the region, Biden will punish Eastern Ukraine for being Eastern Ukraine and totally ignore Russia.  Why?    Because there’s no evidence Russia has anything to do with what’s going on in Eastern Ukraine other than their support.

The silliness continues.

Prime Minister Trudeau Announces That Canadians Do Not Appreciate Him Enough, Therefore a National Emergency Should Remain


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 21, 2022 | sundance | 564 Comments

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exhibits the classic pathological traits of an abuser, refusing to allow his victims to question his authority.  It really is quite remarkable, and we are not saying that in the figurative sense, we mean it literally.  Think of an abusing spouse who is finally confronted by his victim after their family intervenes to confront the situation.  The parallels of the dynamic are remarkable in the context of Trudeau’s effort.

During his public remarks earlier today when addressing his victims, Trudeau takes the classic abuser stance and claims outside influences have poisoned their minds and provided “misinformation and disinformation” against him and his government.  He demands that members of Parliament respond to the victim’s protests against his authority by supporting his need for more powerful tools against anyone who would challenge him.  The Canadian government must keep their victims isolated and weak.

All of Trudeau’s heavily ideological remarks are couched with passive aggressive tones and linguistics.  He claims it is not his fault the people rose up in protest to challenge his unilateral COVID mandates; however, now that they have, the government must punish them as a result of their challenge in order to restore the peace that he provides.  The remarks are classic abuser obfuscations. WATCH (prompted 2:30):

Psychologically, this is a profoundly unstable and insecure little man who is filled with fear.  This type of personality disorder needs a very small echo-chamber of sycophants to remain mentally and emotionally functional.

If individual members of his government or the stenographers in the Canadian media start to question him critically, he will collapse very quickly.
