Justin Trudeau and Canada Face Most Serious Decision(s) in a Century, maybe ever




 Written by Grant G


 It's unfortunate that most Canadians, like our American neighbors are oblivious to what Trump actually campaigned for, outside of mass deportations and drill baby drill the majority of persons have no idea about how harmful and insidious the madman's plans are to economies around the world, not to mention the geopolitical ramifications many nations now face.....Canada and most other nations will now face head on both economic and territorial threats from newly emboldened aggressor states led by America..

Trump campaigned on taking jobs and economic growth FROM everybody, from every country, not just China, India, but Japan, Mexico, the European union and Canada, every nation. Trump promoted tariffs ranging from 20% to 1000%....In conjunction with his tariff scheme Trump also promoted his corporate carrot...That being..any corporation, any manufacturer, any producers of goods, food items and services from any nation around the world can avoid US tariffs, by setting up shop in America, by building in, producing in, manufacturing in, with the use of American workers on American soil these companies can avoid tariffs and as an added bonus they'll get a world low 15% US corporate tax-rate(current US corporate tax-rate is a very competitive 21%, down from 35% 6 years ago)

Right now America has the world's best economic conditions of any country, it's been that way for the last 2 years, record stack market, 401Ks soaring, record low unemployment, cheap gasoline($3 dollars a gallon)...Trump at his rallies vowed to take jobs and businesses from every nation around the world.

Trump has a hatred towards every nation, he claims without merit that France, UK, China, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Ireland, everybody has quote "ripped off America and lowered our economic standing"

In Trump's mind, in Trump's America being number 1 is not good enough, he won't be satisfied until pain is inflicted upon every country in the world.

Part 11

The Response From the World's Leaders......?

I expect most countries will apply countervailing tariffs, thus driving up prices for the world's populous, a world populous already angry and suffering with high costs of living, and what of the 15% corporate tax-rate carrot Trump is dangling before corporate power brokers, does that drive the greed monsters to abandon the nations they currently call home...Does that tax-rate carrot cause nations around the world to lower their corporate tax-rates to match the USA...or even go lower..?

The world's nations lowering corporate tax-rates to 15% or lower to counter Trump's proposals will cause tax rates to increase on the populous everywhere, either through direct taxes or consumption taxes, tariffs and the like.....A race to the bottom for Joe and Jane public while the corporates wallow in more reward, more treasure, more concentration of wealth for society's upper tier inhabitants.

If Trump is successful in harming the economies of other nations, raising unemployment rates around the world he will also cause anger in populations everywhere, which in turn could fuel democratic inclined governments to fall, a world seed change, inspire a rise of tough talking authoritarian isolationists....Or do Governments stand tall, band together to isolate the world's most economically and militarily dominant nation....America


Part 111

Justin Trudeau and the Canadian government and Canada as a whole are at more risk than any nation in the world

To be clear, the childminded Trump already despises Canada and it's democratic leanings, and Trump personally despises Trudeau for his good looks, his charm, his fatal attraction spell he cast on his wife Melania.....Melania didn't just smile at Justin Trudeau she gave him the oh I want to lick you fuck you wrap both my arms and legs around you and make out like ......Like she never did with Trump....That's the genesis of Trump's hatred towards Trudeau and Canada....Trump will never say that Melania's lust for Trudeau is why he's attacking Canada, he'll blame unfair trade practices and a myriad of other reasons for his assault upon Canada's economy.


Melania has never looked at Trump that way, ever, and yes, most people would say Trump would never start an economic and territorial war with a country, with Canada over his prenup wife's lust for their leader...Unfortunately "most people" don't realize the level of Trump's insanity, what motivates Trump's personal vengeance.

Let's face facts soon to be on the ground.......Trump is going to cut off all financial support for Ukraine and he'll simultaneously start to stymie NATO....Trump will also prevent American arms manufacturers from selling weapons and munitions to Ukraine..

Trump has already told Trudeau that he wants, he demands Canada, despite ongoing support for Ukraine from Germany, Belgium, Portugal, France and all the other nations supporting Ukraine's fight against the invading nation Russia to cut off all financial and military support...Trump has demanded an end to any and all arms to Ukraine via Canada.......OR ELSE...

And that's where we(Canada) are as a country.....

Trump glad-handing Vladimir Putin Europe, .....Putin glad-handing North America to Trump

Yes...You may of heard it from other sources, if not you heard it hear....Trump going to war against Canada is not an if, it's a when....Our American neighbors, the Trump regime is giving Trudeau and Canada a choice, you are either with us or...Against us....Trudeau has been told in no uncertain terms that either Canada does what Trump dictates or Canada will be treated like a hostile nation..

Canada must stop all economic and military support for Ukraine or else...The "else" has not been spelled out...

Except for this....Trump want's BC's water, our frak gas, he wants Alberta's tar oil, America wants our prairie wheat fields and the economic might of Ontario....

Hostile America to the south and a hostile neighbor to our north with Russia....

And, nobody will be able to come to our rescue...Allies on our side would have to either fly or sail across vast oceans to support us...Where American firepower will shoot our allies out of the sky or send them to the bottom of the ocean..

Canada...We are located next door to a demented madman who seeks to destroy the world's economies and bend the will of nations to either fall in line or fall prey and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

 As a Canadian I know what my choice would be.....Die or fight, .....and more probable....Fight and die.


Yet, here in Canada, roughly 44 million persons living in democratic freedom, albeit with a few rules of law to follow...It's the only way of life most of us have ever known, outside of immigrants to Canada, we've never lived under a tyranny..That's about to change,             or not?

The decision will be made by Trudeau and the Canadian Government, not by the people, and to be perfectly honest, the decision needs to be made a democratic(even with it's flaws) government, not the people because..

There's too many Canadians that will not only give up, but many that will embrace America's conquering of Canada...From the Alberta Conservatives who only care about selling tar, driving trucks and shooting black bears, and brown bears and....and shooting just about anything brown or black that moves....

Quebec/French Nationalists(old-stock-Canadians)who on the first word of an American onslaught immediately start shining their jackboots and practicing their goosestepping moves will aid America's assault of Canada.....They're not called "surrender Monkies" for nothing...

Outside of British Columbia's freedom loving people, and Ontario's Canadian faithful, and Eastcoast patriot Canadians who will fight for Canada's freedom and self determination, we have far too many Canadians who lust to be taken-over by a newly brown and black person purged White Nationalist America......We have our Canadian magas yearning for Trump or a Canadian Trump like leader to purge Canada of it's colored people too....

Justin Trudeau and Canada have roughly 2 1/2 months to decide which road Canada takes...


You readers of The Straight Goods know where I stand


The time is now for Justin Trudeau, the Canadian Government, for Canada and the world to stand strong, reject Trump, reject tyranny and live for, and fight for a future for all mankind.


A Remembrance Day post..........A Time to remember who we are....and who we once were.

I'm an idiot for thinking Americans weren't idiots........2024 US Election Breakdown




 Written by Grant G



Part1

The internet has turned into a toxic sewer


 Where to even begin.....I wrote a few years ago that the internet, which has all the world's information and factual data easily available with a mere click of a mouse has done more harm to mankind in the last 10 years than anything else.

The early internet years were a boon for advancing man's quest for free flowing information, and it was clean slate... provable lies were not prevalent, misinformation wasn't the norm, it was rare, yes, the corporate sector spun and twisted online, but writers, readers and content producers were not able to blatantly lie and gain traction, or viciously slander innocent people and propagate fiction without legal consequences, slander suits, liable suits, cease and desist warnings would fly and services providers(when they still had a moral compass) would cut your service.

Facebook let mis, and disinformation spin out of control, they allowed foreign nations, foreign actors and every freak to prey on an eyes glued to their device populous.

YouTube did, and does well with keeping broadcasters, podcasters from airing poisonous toxicity, I applaud them for their efforts however, that brought about the rise of sites like Rumble, and other streaming services where everything and anything goes, poisonous shows like Bannons' Warroom, and hundreds of other rightwing podcasters funded by dark money, funded by adversary nations. 

Rumble podcasts, a place where anything goes, where any and all lies, conspiracies, liable and slander are allowed to go unchecked, allowed to flourish with zero consequences. Anyone who posts debunking info into their comment sections are instantly muted...Factchecking prohibited.

A few weeks before the election Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson were together chatting with each other on a podcast of sorts, big names, big audiences and they were chuckling with each other while talking about Harris or Biden getting assassinated....It was dangerous, and sick, and allowed to happen with no repercussions, they broadcast that poison to millions.

Twitter after regulators and governments threatened their existence tried to rein in the racism, the hate the obvious lies and disinformation but then, the same perpetrators who produced and spread the toxicity howled and screamed censorship...and then more toxic sites rose, 4chan, 8chan, Gettrr, Truth Social where moderation is a taboo word...There are millions of people in North America that crave the crudeness, they seek out havens where toxic lies and memes are not just accepted, they're wanted.

Seems toxicity reigns everywhere, Tic Toc and Instagram aren't much better.

Disinformation online, on podcasts, .....The vast majority of online garbage, conspiracies, harmful rhetoric comes from the right, and I hate that, I hate calling what Trump is, what these offending writers and podcasters are..."The Right"....as in the leftwing progressive and rightwing conservatism.

Nearly every damn conspiracy that pops up is pushed by the "Right"....Every week it's a new conspiracy and no matter how many times these evil clowns are debunked they just move on to the next one..And their followers, like sheep spread it around and eat it up.

These influencers, and Trump telling lies online for 4 straight years that Joe Biden received $millions from the mayor of Moscow, that he took money from China, from everybody...Lies about an open border you just walk through...

The lies from a former president that Biden and Harris in 4 years let 13,099 known murderers just walk in, that they let 350,000 known criminals just walk in, the lie that 21 million came across the border in last 4 years(real number is 11 million border encounters, and many many are repeaters met at the border)the lie that countries around the world emptied their prisons, mental institutions and insane asylums and not only sent them to the US they all got in unchecked, unvetted..

You can search until you are blue in the face and you won't find a single story, a single source, a single country that did any of those things.

In 2024 the MSM and literally every network, every online streaming platform allowed this conspiracy bullshit, allowed these lies to go viral to go completely unchecked...

CNN debate with Biden and Trump..Yes Biden bombed, looked old, tired and out of the game but he didn't lie, CNN's Dana Bash allowed Trump to unleash a torrent of lies, without a single factcheck..

The ABC debate was a little better, but still, the firehose of Trump lies drenched the stage and he was barely factchecked...ABC said "there's no evidence of Haitians eating pets" .. They felt a need to factcheck that but when Trump said the world's prisons and mental institutions have been emptied and those that were in them are ALL now in the US killing Americans....That was left untouched.

Twittergate...The scandal that never was....When Elon Musk took over Twitter and allowed what little moderation there was to fade to black.

 I warned many at the time of what Elon's intention was....I had regular readers tell me, one reader in particular said to me...

"Don't worry about Elon musk and Twitter..Twitter isn't real life"

And in a flash, every online Nazi, conspiracy theorist, homophobe, every shitposter and spammer, every adversarial foreign nation was embraced by Elon..He manipulated algorithms, forced his own posts down everyone's throats while truth tellers and accounts Elon didn't like were throttled, shadowbanned via stealth technology...He cut average normal people Twitter/X users off if they didn't pay him..

This 2 year old comment sticks in my mind 

"Don't worry about Elon musk and Twitter..Twitter isn't real life"

Then Elon went "rightwing" crazy, ...He literally dedicated Twitter to elect Trump, he endorsed Trump, he spread the most blatant BS conspiracies, he amplified Trump's lies and in my opinion broke election law by buying Trump voters, $1 million dollar daily lottery for Trump voters..

(Do you see that above, what I wrote..."and in my opinion broke election law"...Wrote it that way so I can't be held liable, can't get sued. I didn't say....Elon Musk broke the law)

It doesn't fucking matter anymore....You can say anything..Elon is a murder..Elon raped children...Trump murdered children, Trump is rapist a 100 times over...You can say whatever the fuck you want and there are no consequences anymore.

Part 11

Joe Biden and his administration failed

Joe Biden and his administration failed, not with policy and legislation but with messaging, ...When Biden and Harris assumed power in 2021 the country was flat on it's back, covid raging, lockdowns, high unemployment...And they spent money to shore up individuals, businesses, industry, the printing presses were revved up and money shoveled out the door (as did Trump with covid) but, they had to do it.....The vast majority of Americans had no safety net..

The mistake Joe Biden made was twofold .....

Trump when in office in his first term held a ton of press conferences, he repeated his lies, he beat his chest in public/whitehouse press conferences near every week, he bragged, and exaggerated every accomplishment he made, he brushed off any criticism and bold faced lied every fucking day..

33,000+ Trump lies in his first term.

Joe Biden's mistakes....When he ran in 2020(at age 78) he said to the voting public he was only going to serve out 1 term, he said he wouldn't run for a 2nd term...He lied, Joe should have let it be known after year 2, after year 3 that he wasn't running(because he wants to retire, he's old)....That was a big mistake, but not his biggest mistake..

While Biden was getting legislation done, getting Bills through congress he should of been bragging about his accomplishments weekly, and when Trump, and the GOP members of Congress he controlled starting sham impeachment hearings, baseless accusations accusing Joe of being a mastermind criminal, running a massive scheme to enrich himself..

Biden needed to threaten Congress with liable, with slander, he needed to debunk the made up garbage daily in a forceful manner..And if Joe wasn't up to the task of slamming republicans for the most foul, most egregious lies he had plenty of spokespersons and surrogates to make the case...Joe needed to publicly call Fox news traitors to the nation..every single day

Joe did well legislatively, very well, got more done than the last 4 presidents, yet he leaves office with a tarnished record in the minds of most Americans because of the spin, the lies, the outrageous conspiracies that ooze like green slime from Trump and the above mentioned entities on a daily basis..

Joe...He's old, was raised in an age where spouting provable lies and insane conspiracies would end most people's political careers, Joe ran and won in many an election...Trump was the opposite, even though he and Biden are close in age Trump has engaged in fakery and lies, and too many crimes to count his entire life..

Part 111

Kamala Harris' campaign errors.....

Kamala ran a near perfect campaign except for one thing...


Kamala needed a website, she needed mailers, she needed to address Trump's lies and BS stories, every single day..

Kamala Harris needed to stand tall at each rally, at each and every media appearance and say...

There is no evidence of any emptied prisons..ANYWHERE.....No evidence of countries emptying insane asylums...Trump is lying

NO 21 million did not enter our country...1/6 th of that number....Trump is lying

NO WE DID NOT let 13,099 murderers come in ......Trump is lying..

Yes, Kamala at her rallies rallies did call Trump a liar...But she didn't say what the lies were..

Trump started talking about every country emptying prisons and insane asylums and sending all the deranged savages(Trump's description, not mine)to the US where they just walk in...Trump started telling that made up spew in 2022....

It's 2024.....Why did Joe Biden not rebuke Trump over his bullshit lies in 2022...Why did he ignore it...Why didn't Harris address Trump's outrageous lies about prisons and insane asylums every single day..Why didn't she challenge Trump to give proof....Why didn't Harris slam Trump and put to rest his lie about 13,099 murderers were allowed into the US in 4 years..

My fucking gawd...That number of illegal/migrant murderers and criminals was over 40 years..There are not 13,099 immigrant murderers walking freely in the US...The number was literally the same under Trump's first term....That same report Trump lied about...The same data/report was available when he was president in 2016 ....The number in 2020 when Trump left office was...12,789 murderers ...

That report does not say they are walking around free....The entire story was made up, twisted data..

But that mistake by Harris....To not slam Trump and debunk that lie every single day was a huge mistake.

Why on earth...Trump appears on Fox News..on Bro podcasts...NY Post...Newsmax..all his rallies, and he says..

"Kamala Harris let 21 million illegal just walk across the border,13,099 known murderers, many have killed more than six people pour across our southern border unchecked, she just waved them in.."

Like Joe Biden....Kamala Harris thought Trump's lies are/were so outrageous, so unbelievable American voters will discount it.


Part 1V

Americans are fucking stupid

Joseph Goebbels said back in the 1930s .....

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
Back in the 30s radio was barely emerging, there was no TV set, no cablevision...there was newsprint and magazines, books....The German people in the 1930s couldn't click a mouse and have instant data from all over the world, facts, proof, evidence of the State lying....Back in that era the State only need to control the newsprint..Hitler did...Negatives stories towards Hitler, the government, any stories from newspapers that expressed any dissent would result in being jailed or sent to internment camps, or death camps...
Hitler and Goebbels controlled every aspect of any and all information the German populous received..

The German people of that era can be slightly forgiven for falling prey to Hitler's lies as access to the truth was not readily available..

The  2024 American populous can't be forgiven, they're fucking morons, not all but at least 50%

A click of a mouse and anyone can factcheck a politician for themselves...What self respecting person would attend a Trump rally, or watch what he spews on podcasts, posts on Truth Social, posts on Twitter/X or says on Fox news and believe his anger inciting lies without doing a single factcheck.?

 and after doing your own factchecks you realize Trump just told you a 100 lies in 2 hours would you still vote for him...?

Trump has told his crowds, the media..."I will cut all energy costs by 50% within 12 months of taking office, gas, home heating and electric"

The few times he's been asked by media personalities how will he do it....Trump answers...Drill baby Drill....That's not an answer....US Gas price is hovering at $3 dollars per gallon...During covid depression under Trump oil fell, gas fell to $1.84 per gallon...The oil/gas companies cried for and got bailouts because they were going bankrupt...
Trump can't lower gas prices to that extent unless....Unless the Federal government took over big Energy and nationalized it.....Which would never happen unless the US turned into a total Fascist Nation..You'd kill energy trade markets/wipe out investors...

Tariffs.....everywhere tariffs...Every product made in Canada and every country gonna get tariffed upon being sent to US market....Trump gonna use tariff money to pay for lowering corporate tax-rate to 15%..

Trump's math doesn't add up....it does though reward the super wealthy even more while levying a massive 20% or more sales tax on everything...yes everything, domestic producers will increase right along with em. 

I could go on and on shredding Trump's economic policies....Why didn't any big media dissect it?

Right now, the strongest economy anywhere in the world is the US economy....inflation way down, prices for staple items still too high, gas prices are at very low levels across America..Stock market near record highs, 401ks soaring, unemployment near record lows, interest rates dropping.

America is in a good place with many economic markers...If Joe Public Trump supporter thinks some other giant monetary boom is coming cuz they elected the felon have another thing coming.

Because...If Trump was in office the last 2 years(2022 to 2024) and this was his economy he'd of spun the good news everyday, he'd of convinced everyone it's great...In other words...If the US economy stays right about where it's at right now....It's a win for Trump even if he doesn't do a damn thing.

Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about Joe Public.....He's promised a new golden era under his administration that will see soaring wages and cheap energy and groceries for everyone...

America just elected a deranged Fascist who promised everyone everything without any way of delivering a damn thing.

Lastly.....There are only two realities that explain what just happened in the USA

 Americans who voted for Trump want racism, want brown people purged, want violence directed towards non whites or..

Or Americans are too stupid to see the snake oil selling monster.  A damn cult


To all the people who think any politician is going to make you rich and happy
