From sub 2 pounds, abandoned alone in a ditch, kennel cough, weird worms, gastrointestinal food and 3 months later he’s 6.5 pounds, purrs all the day and is a big floofy mush ball. Nori.

Canada’s free trade gamble with the U.S. paid off for decades, until Trump turned our dependency into a weapon. With CUSMA rulings ignored and tariff threats looming, the system that built our prosperity now risks becoming our biggest vulnerability open.substack.com/pub/chrisive...

Turns out the best way to negotiate with a human tornado isn’t to shout louder, it’s to document the storm. Carney’s genius move is treating Trump’s inconsistency as a feature rather than a bug. The ultimate power move is knowing unpredictability is predictable.

The greatest magic trick that works every time...

“Owner responsibility” … What the actual F. MAGA is without morals Dems need a plan

No lies told here.

Nuclear capabilities destroyed ❌ Ceasefire successfully negotiated ❌ At least we got our first Presidential F Bomb

So much for 2 weeks

chrisives.substack.com/p/how-jacind... Her downfall wasn't due to policy failure; it was a victim of the right-wing playbook: exploit hardship, amplify division, weaponize disinformation, and attack competence as elitism. Carney, the ultimate global technocrat, is a prime target.

Bizarre. Is not the right word. Alarming is underwhelming. Unframeable. For one from the west to see people living and loving life while rockets fly overhead.

open.substack.com/pub/chrisive... It’s getting real .. can Canada survive partisanship?

The 30% of Albertans who support separation is about the same % it’s always been. I’d bet 30 / 100 people in Nova Scotia or Quebec or Ontario would vote that way as well. The only difference is that Smith is the PM and fanning the flames.

After decades of rust & procurement disasters, Carney promises to hit NATO’s 2%, dump 75% US defence spending, and buy EU jets. Canada’s gamble for sovereignty. Game-changer or grave risk? open.substack.com/pub/chrisive...

open.substack.com/pub/chrisive... Is the Ring Of Fire worth it?

Conservative pundits on day one of Parliament; Poilievre had a good day, evolving… Carney needs to hurry up… Attack … They have literally learned nothing.

open.substack.com/pub/chrisive...

open.substack.com/pub/chrisive... History may judge this as Carney’s miracle or Poilievre’s miscalculation. But Canada remains a country where elections aren’t won in rallies, but in quiet spaces. The Liberals of 2025 proved democracy holds its breath, then exhales one vote at a time.

Can’t seem to find the rage posts about election fraud after the official calls for Terra and Windsor. Hmmm

🔥 Canada Post is bleeding and its own union might finish the job. Can CUPE save the postal service, or will it cling to demands that destroy it? #cdnpoli #canadapost open.substack.com/pub/chrisive...

open.substack.com/pub/chrisive... lie after lie to flood the zone, feeding a brainwashed base. The media, meanwhile, plays its usual role as mercenary enablers, cashing in on falsehoods for clicks and eyeballs, while an army of grifting tweeters and billionaire bros profit behind the scenes.

This is MAGA. So proud of his tweet he pinned it.

Btw the key to winning money betting on sports is just to bet on the maple leafs doing the exact opposite of what their biggest, craziest fans expect them to do.

open.substack.com/pub/chrisive... "Trump and now, sadly, Poilievre has brought the camera out of the backroom, saying the bad things out loud, courting the fringe and fighting for nations by winning half of one." hope isn’t dead it just needs the rest of us to speak up.

Every comms revolution empowers the fringe first. Luther's pamphlets shattered Church control. Radio let Hitler bypass gatekeepers. Trump and social media have merged conspiracy theories with state power - influencers whisper in the White House open.substack.com/pub/chrisive...

Hot take; democratic social media personalities are just as bad as MAGA versions.. they just use different rhetoric. Neither version of grifting helps ..

Carney’s White House visit went as expected—calm, measured, no fireworks. The real surprise? Scheer’s not so surprising comeback as Conservative House Leader. Poilievre’s loss keeps giving. #cdnpoli open.substack.com/pub/chrisive...

Early hot take; NDP vote in Atlantic split Bloc broke for the Liberals to seal the deal. Majority within reach but too close to call. BC will get their wish and will have the final say. Coyne; “[Carney] was enough change for enough people”

NDP vote splitting Bloc broke for the Liberals 🇨🇦 just hasn’t seen a two party election since I don’t know when
