Here’s my prediction:
1) The 2026 US mid-term elections turn into a crap show as the White House refuses to recognize several results that would give the Democrats a majority in Congress.
2) Trump stays in the White House in 2028 by issuing an executive order that strikes down the 22nd Amendment… the US Supreme Court enables this.
3) Musk muscles out Vance
Well according to Trudeaus hot mic comments about trump taking over, it is a real serious threat lol.
If the only reason is economic stability well let them eat cake. They made their bed now they will live with it just as we are here are living it. .

If things continue as have been Trump will be much more popular than he is right now - he is doing so much good that his popularity is now higher than when he was elected - he will get an even bigger support from more Republicans being elected in 2026 - Musk is a sharp guy and It is good to have him around for advice -Quote:

Surveillance operations have raised alarms after placing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a former cabinet minister in proximity to Asian organized crime suspects.
Veteran law enforcement officials--both active and retired--from the United States and Canada have come forward with explosive allegations suggesting that Canada's federal government may have systematically obstructed investigations into the highest levels of Asian organized crime. According to these sources, American agencies, including the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, have grown so alarmed by suspected corruption and legal loopholes in Canada that they have effectively sidelined Canadian law enforcement from sensitive investigations and intelligence-sharing.
Several veterans of Canadian law enforcement argue that while U.S. President Donald Trump's critiques of Canada's handling of fentanyl trafficking and border security are politically charged and often harsh, they underscore an uncomfortable reality: Canada is increasingly perceived as compromised--either incapable or unwilling to confront entrenched transnational criminal networks. American and Canadian sources alike describe a nation whose law enforcement agencies are in disarray, inhibited by suspected infiltration at the highest levels, obstructing investigations into billion-dollar drug networks and money laundering operations.
These American and Canadian experts pointed to the notorious case of Cameron Ortis, Canada's former top police intelligence official, who was convicted of leaking Five Eyes signals intelligence to some of the world's most dangerous Iranian state-sponsored criminals. His case, still cloaked in national security secrecy, is believed to have also involved Chinese espionage investigations. But concerns about corruption within Canada's law enforcement and intelligence agencies extend far beyond Ortis himself, according to enforcement experts who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
Several said that U.S. officials suspect corruption within the ranks of Canadian border authorities, yet those suspects allegedly retained their security clearances.
"It was mind-boggling. The Americans would say, we have good reason to suspect that this particular CBSA officer is corrupt," a Canadian policing expert said. "This information would be provided to higher-ups in CBSA with the understanding that this particular CBSA officer is not to show up at any future joint meetings. So eventually there would be a meeting, and the CBSA officer in question would show up at the meeting. The lead American investigator would end the meeting before it started. The Americans would shake their heads in disgust and disbelief."
The expert said this growing distrust is a key reason why the United States has scaled back its collaboration with Canadian law enforcement over the past decade.
"The border as it's run now is--Homeland Security, they have no respect for CBSA, none," the expert said. "CBSA were seen as tax collectors for picking on families coming across the border with two bottles of wine and not actually doing police seizures of proper amounts of drugs coming through the border. It was a longstanding joke that they were basically collecting taxes for a mom and dad driving back with two packs of cigarettes and too many six-packs of beer, while behind it, there's a truck coming with 200, 300, 500 kilos of cocaine. It was just ridiculous. And that's how Homeland Security and DEA saw our CBSA.
"And I don't want to paint every CBSA officer with that brush as being useless--some of them are excellent people," they added. "But it's just run so poorly. The level of incompetence within Canadian law enforcement is staggering. I don't think people understand--if they did, they'd probably be too scared to know how bad it actually is."
Several veteran law enforcement officials say concerns extend beyond Canada's ability to confront transnational crime--to the country's political leadership itself. According to two RCMP experts, quiet surveillance operations have raised alarms after placing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a former cabinet minister in proximity to Asian organized crime suspects.
"There were real concerns about Asian organized crime figures being at Liberal fundraisers with access to Prime Minister Trudeau," one veteran enforcement source said. "This is deeply concerning. It was openly discussed in some units. Again, when you are talking about billions of dollars in criminal profits, this equals real power and influence. I'm not accusing the Prime Minister or any politician of being corrupt. But we would be naive to think that ultra-rich criminals don't use their resources in an attempt to sway or influence prominent people."
Highlighting the elite capabilities of U.S. agencies they worked closely with, the expert added, "We dealt with Homeland Security on different investigations where they were using very sensitive intel techniques--as good as anything that exists for law enforcement. They could easily have captured criminals with information related to the Canadian government or other officials that might not come to light through Canadian investigations."
The police expert, explaining the decision to come forward at a pivotal moment in U.S.-Canada relations, argued that Canadians remain largely unaware of the nation's vulnerabilities.
"People have to be able to see and understand how bad it is. We are not even considered a serious partner, vis-?-vis Trump, at this point. Fentanyl coming from Canada to the USA isn't something Trump is just throwing out there. He's getting this information from top American law enforcement officials who know exactly how far Canada has fallen. And as a police officer who risked my life countless times alongside other brave men and women, I find it embarrassing that we've let our country get to this state."
According to multiple enforcement veterans, American agencies began withholding intelligence more than ten years ago after repeated incidents in which top‐secret files were jeopardized or blocked by Canadian legal demands.
"The level of stuff the Americans were willing to work with us on was incredible, but we were so hamstrung by Canadian disclosure laws and RCMP policies--written to protect the RCMP from potential embarrassments rather than to protect Canadians from actual dangers," said a federal veteran with direct knowledge of Five Eyes law enforcement.
The veteran described learning of briefings from senior Washington officials "where they showed how intelligence was disseminated, and it was shared with the Five Eyes partners--excluding Canada. It was embarrassing."
At the center of U.S. government alarm, sources believe, is the case of Sam Gor--one of the world's most powerful Triad drug trafficking networks, with reported links to Chinese Communist Party operatives, according to U.S. government experts such as former Trump State Department official David Asher.
Three Canadian experts said Australia had warned Canada about the threat posed by Sam Gor--also known as "The Company"--long before the RCMP recognized it as a major transnational syndicate. Widely regarded as a highly sophisticated enterprise, Sam Gor links Southeast Asian drug networks--responsible for trafficking tens of billions of dollars in fentanyl and methamphetamine--to global operations involving Latin American cartels and large-scale money laundering.
Canada's largest-ever money laundering investigation, E-Pirate, was directly linked to Sam Gor--a fact not widely disclosed, according to a Canadian source with direct knowledge of the case. The investigation collapsed in late 2019 after a police witness was exposed, resulting in a high-profile failure in federal court. Since then, Sam Gor's leaders have continued to exploit Canada for fentanyl trafficking and money laundering, facing little resistance. E-Pirate uncovered how their operations funneled billions in drug cash through British Columbia government casinos, hundreds of Chinese bank accounts, and vast pools of illicit funds circulating throughout Latin America.
"For example, the Americans--the intel these guys were giving us on money laundering associated to B.C. government casinos and the E-Pirate investigations--the Americans were more than willing to take this on, but it's in Canada," a veteran enforcement source said. "It was the Sam Gor crime group or The Company, as police sometimes call it. We had information on some of those people operating across Western Canada--these huge cells of Asian organized crime--and investigations would stall due to delays with approvals or shifting priorities, dictated ultimately by Ottawa."
The veteran enforcement expert said senior officers often voiced frustration that navigating the bureaucratic obstacles imposed by the RCMP was, at times, more difficult than pursuing the criminal networks themselves. "Obviously, checks and balances are needed when conducting police investigations," they said. "But the RCMP had become so risk-averse that it crippled countless Canadian investigations and left our foreign partners questioning Canada's commitment to fighting organized crime."
The very way in which the RCMP first became aware of Sam Gor stood as a stark example of Canada's systemic failures in policing and justice.
"With the Sam Gor group, the Australian Federal Police would meet with the RCMP and provide valuable information related to crimes taking place or originating in Canada. The AFP were professional and wanted to work with us. Yet again, we couldn't get traction from Ottawa to work these investigations."
That perspective--that Canada's allies lost trust in Ottawa's capacity to counter Chinese networks that directly threaten the United States--is shared by David Asher, a senior financial investigator whose career spans high-profile cases for the DEA and CIA.
In a previous interview, Asher told The Bureau that U.S. investigators believe Sam Gor's top leaders, based primarily in Toronto and Vancouver, function as the "command and control" hub for Western Hemisphere money laundering tied to fentanyl trafficking. American investigations indicate that fentanyl is primarily smuggled into the United States by the Sinaloa and Jalisco cartels, which work closely with Triad money brokers who finance drug trafficking, coordinate global logistics for laundering operations, and supply chemical precursors sourced from China.
"My own personal view is that this is a scheme that does have a high degree of command and control based on evidence through Canada. But it is not a scheme that we have managed to wholly penetrate due to, frankly, in my mind, inadequate cooperation from the Canadian government," Asher said. "The Canadian government has just not been--they're not the level of partners that we used to have. We used to have a great relationship with Canada, but it doesn't exist right now."
A Canadian source pointed to another particularly troubling case involving Asian organized crime networks.
"There was a source of information with global intelligence value--including Asian organized crime--but using this source was blocked by Ottawa due to a frivolous matter. The potential benefit for Canada and its partners was immense and far outweighed any concerns about the source. Yet we couldn't proceed. It was absurd."
It was another decision emblematic of Canada's failure to gather critical criminal intelligence. As a result, American law enforcement agencies began cultivating their own Canadian-based sources, having lost faith in the RCMP's ability--or willingness--to do so.
"Intelligence on transnational crime operating in Canada was, and still is, being gathered by Americans--not Canadians," an expert said.
And the consequences in this case extended far beyond Canada's borders.
"There were large drug busts in Europe that Canadian law enforcement could have potentially helped uncover earlier," the expert said, "but something within was always blocking us."
Multiple veterans said this misalignment in priorities was particularly evident when Cameron Ortis led RCMP intelligence. Ottawa dictated a list of national priorities for the Federal Unit, but these often diverged sharply from intelligence gathered directly by investigators and analysts with firsthand access to Canadian and foreign sources. Instead of targeting the most sophisticated organized crime networks, directives focused on smaller, more manageable crime groups--what officers saw as "low-hanging fruit"--while larger, deeply entrenched threats like Asian organized crime flourished. These groups had infiltrated Canada at all levels of high-level criminality, including drug trafficking, fentanyl production, and money laundering.
"Investigators and analysts would look at each other and say, 'This doesn't make any sense,'" a veteran enforcement source said. "We knew the threat that multi-billion-dollar crime groups posed went far beyond just lining their pockets with obscene riches. That type of money allows for influence over people, which would include people with political influence."
The veteran enforcement source painted a stark picture of how policing in Canada has changed over the past 15 years, describing modern RCMP investigations as "drastically neutered" compared to the past. Nowhere was this more evident, they said, than in the handling of human sources--criminals who cooperate with law enforcement, often at great risk to themselves.
"The handling of human sources can be highly effective even though it is fraught with risks," the expert said, calling it "just the nature of the beast."
But rather than refining their approach and learning from past missteps, the RCMP had instead imposed sweeping restrictions that effectively sidelined one of law enforcement's most powerful tools, they said.
"The current policies have crippled countless investigations," they said.
The shift had also strained Canada's relationship with its closest allies. When these policies were explained to American law enforcement partners, the reaction was disbelief. "They cannot fathom it, and it makes Canada appear reticent and scared." As a result, U.S. agencies increasingly recruit their own Canadian sources, knowing they cannot rely on Canada's federal police to do the same.
One expert said these restrictions had led many Canadian and American officers to question whether bureaucratic inertia was the sole reason for the shift--or "if something more sinister, like corruption, is taking place."
"If you want to derail investigations in Canada one place to start is by writing policies that handcuff hard-working officers from being able to do their jobs," they said. "If Cameron Ortis was corrupt, then who's to say that others in influential positions writing policies haven't been compromised? These are real concerns amongst federal police officers and among American law enforcement agencies."
Nowhere were these unsettling suspicions more pronounced than in cases involving Asian organized crime, a veteran enforcement source reiterated.
"Ottawa just seemed reluctant to acknowledge this as the top threat," they said.
The source recalled that law enforcement had informants feeding intelligence on a broad spectrum of organized crime groups. But when it came to high-level Asian syndicates, there was a noticeable chill.
"Those with knowledge were extremely reluctant to discuss these groups," the expert said, citing "strong indications in the criminal world that these groups had corrupted officials in Canada."
Despite mounting evidence that Asian organized crime groups were operating at an industrial scale--running sophisticated money laundering schemes, private casinos, and vast drug trafficking and production operations--efforts to gain traction with Ottawa repeatedly stalled. Investigators found themselves facing inexplicable roadblocks.
"The reasons for delays on approvals given made no sense," a veteran said. "It was as though we were being blocked from within."
But the revelations of Cameron Ortis's alleged betrayal in late 2019 provided the missing puzzle piece. Ortis is appealing his conviction, while the Crown seeks to extend his 14-year sentence, arguing that the judge "erred by imposing a sentence that was demonstrably unfit, given the gravity of the offences."
While Ortis wasn't convicted on China-related charges due to a Canadian judge's decision, prosecutors accused him of stealing espionage-related "Orcon and Gamma" intelligence after 2015, including U.S. signals intelligence. Police and prosecutors believe he was poised to share this information with Chinese diplomats in September 2019. An RCMP document unsealed after his conviction states that in mid-2019, Ortis was caught searching RCMP databases. "Among his queries were subjects that related to China, embassies, and something that appears to be a national security investigation."
"When the Cameron Ortis story broke, it was not a shock," a Canadian police veteran said. "It made sense. He was director of intelligence for the RCMP. He had enormous sway as to what the federal investigative priorities were."
Ortis wasn't just an influential figure--he was instrumental at the highest levels of decision-making. As the right-hand man to the RCMP commissioner, he wielded control over which major investigations moved forward and which were quietly sidelined.

Wow! If this is true, and I believe it is, the do,do, should hit the fan. But knowing how the upper echelons reaction will be to such atrocities will more than likely be swept under the table… And here I thought we’d be working hand in hand with the US Intelligence but I guess the almighty dollar took care of that. It’s a shame really and once entrenched like the cartels are, it’ll be hard putting an end to it unless someone with gonads the size of grapefruits gets to run this country….and starts cleaning house….

You are asking a lot to have me believe in the "authenticity" of your "authenticity check". I had gone back to your post to check it out one more time time and wondered where it had gone. Now that it is back I have gone through it twice and do not see any new accreditation added to the original. I do give you credit for the effort.
I am being the devils' advocate here but the only thing I personally am sure of in this whole mess is that there is a guy out there that is hell bent on destroying the world order. Then as the world starts to burn around the States he falls back on exploding straws and bad,bad, pennies. I am not calling them united as I do not think they are any longer and if he has his way may never be again.
Trump had to address the straws because the nitwit before him put restrictions on them - listen to this - Fema spent 59 million to house illegal aliens in luxury hotels in NYC at the same time saying that they didn't enough money to help people living in South Carolina - this is only the tip of the iceberg- billions have been stolen or wasted - the Man is cleaning house - bless him -
Just listen to this - watch for all the Canadian Flags flying high and proud this weekend. If you climb up on a hill and look north you may even be able to see them from Pennsylvania. It will tell you how we feel and what we think of becoming part of what was once a great country and good neighbor.

That report reminded me of the Markham mansion connection to the liberals lol. The corruption runs deep.
