MUSIC VIDEO: "Lake America? No, EH!"

Wut, another music video? Yes, but this one is political, and right on point with President Trump's apparent descent into lunacy. This is "Lake Ontario", an official anthem of the Canadian Resistance Army.

 

Thanks and a tip of the conical chapeau to Agent 78 for giving us the link to this one. 

The dog days of summer

Walt admits to falling into near-terminal lassitude during the "dog days of summer" -- the hot and humid days of summer. This phrase can be traced back thousands of years to the days of the Roman Empire. It refers to the dates from 3 July through 11 August -- 20 days before and 20 days after the star Sirius rises and falls in conjunction with the sun.

At this time, when it's an effort to punch out more than a couple of paragraphs on the keyboard, we here at WWW are very grateful for Patriot Post, a reliable source for stuff with which to fill this space.

Note from Agent 3: Look at the map carefully. See how the circle exclused part of the Aleutians, all of Newfoundland, and the southern part of Florida in which is located Mar-a-Lago. What can it all mean?

VIDEO: Victor Davis Hanson: "What's happening in Canada?"

Walt is back at home, pondering the future of post-Trudeau Canuckistan. TBH, there isn't much to ponder. Canadians inexplicably voted for a continuation of the misgovernment of Emperor Trudeau II, with the same people -- not one new face -- propping up elitest One-Worlder and new Dear Leader Mark Carnage.

The hapless Plain People of Canada are unlikely to see any change from the insanely woke social and economic policies of Blackie McBlackface. The hated carbon tax will be resurrected under a new euphemism. Alberta's oil and gas will be left in the ground while eastern Canuckistan imports oil from Saudi Arabia. And Canada will welcome (NOT!) a new wave of "refugees" from Greater America. 

The 2025 election will prove to be largely meaningless for Canadians... on the surface. But the resuscitation of the moribund Liberal Party of Canada has deeper meaning for the country and the rest of the world. In this video, Victor Davis Hanson takes a hard look at the unraveling of Canada's political and cultural foundations. He explores how decades of unchecked immigration, bureaucratic overreach, and progressive ideology have led to social fragmentation, economic stagnation, and rising insecurity across the continent.

 

This is a powerful and sobering analysis that challenges mainstream narratives and asks tough questions about the future of Western civilization. Mr Hanson argues that Canada’s elites -- and Mr Carney is the veriest of the Laurentian elite -- in their pursuit of globalism and moral relativism, have abandoned the very values that once made the West strong: reason, national identity, and civic responsibility. 

Instead, they have embraced a postmodern vision that undermines sovereignty and silences dissent. Mr Hanson reveals how, from Paris to Berlin, the European project is crumbling under the weight of its own contradictions. He contends that Canada's collapse is not just a regional issue, but a cautionary tale for the United States and the rest of the free world.

An accident like this could never happen in the Canadian navy

Even as we speak, America's frost-backed neighbours to the north are voting in a federal election of more than the usual significance. As they headed to the polls, President Trump reiterated for the umpteenth time his suggestion that Canadians and their nitwit country would be better off as the 51st of the Disunited States of America.

On Truth Social today he wrote,  "Elect the man [meaning himself!] who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America.

"Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE! America can no longer subsidize Canada with the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year that we have been spending in the past. It makes no sense unless Canada is a State!" 

Walt has highlighted the part about military power because we saw a demonstration today of the power of the new US Woke Forces. Britbart News featured this headline:

U.S. Warplane Falls Off Aircraft Carrier into Red Sea 

It seems that earlier today a multi-million-dollar warplane fell off the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman into the Red Sea. The accident that injured one sailor, the Navy said. A tractor that was towing the fighter plane — a model that cost $67 million in 2021 — also slipped off the ship into the sea. 

"The F/A-18E was actively under tow in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft and tow tractor were lost overboard," the Navy said in a statement. "Sailors towing the aircraft took immediate action to move clear of the aircraft before it fell overboard. All personnel are accounted for, with one sailor sustaining a minor injury." 

The carrier and its other planes remain in action and the incident is under investigation, the Navy added. No details of recovery work were released, nor was anything said about the race, religion or sexual orientation of the sailors involved in the incident.

Walt humbly suggests that the Canucks stay with the weak little armed forces they have. Something like this could never befall the plane (note the singular) on board the HMCS Jean Chrétien, pictured below.

VIDEO: Dr Jordan Peterson argues the case for a Trump Canada

It's been a while since we featured a video by the good doctor. Agent 6 alerted us to this one, posted on February 5th, in which Dr Peterson reads from his recent article in the National Post, wherein he outlines the case for Trump’s Canada. [Eh? Ed.] He analyses what the Donald is seemingly offering, why provinces like Alberta might just take the deal, and how the Great No-longer-white North can still align itself for a "new era of triumph".

 

What isn't clear to me, though, is what President Trump really wants. Surely it's more than decent beer -- DJT doesn't drink -- or a 51st star on Old Glory. For an alternative theory, check out the video in "Why does DJT have Canada in the cross-hairs?", WWW 3/2/25.

VIDEO: Monday morning quarterbacking Super Bowl LIX

Hey, how about that Super Bowl LIX! If you're a KC fan, or a KC bettor (even worse), you didn't have a lot to cheer about, as the Chiefs failed to cover the spread. As defending champions, sportsbooks had the Chiefs as 1.5-point favourites before the game. The game was expected to be high-scoring, with an over-under of 48.5. And so it was, but unsophisticated people [like Walt. Ed.] who just look at the raw scores, thought it was a pretty unexciting contest.

Of course nowadays there's a lot more to bet on than the scores.but there were plenty of bets that were very close. The national anthem, for example, was right at the line for the time but was officially scored just under the 120.5-second line. From the coin toss to how many times Taylor Swift was on camera to the Gatorade bath and the MVP, the New York Times has the results of all the major Super Bowl prop bets in a "party props sheet". [You didn't think it would be free, didja|? Ed.]

And how about that half-time show? Walt switched to a rerun of I Love Lucy on a cable channel, but according to the lengthy and fulsome NYT review, it came down to another round in the fight the star attraction, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake, the alleged Canadian, who was somewhere else.

Mr Lamar (né Kendrick Lamar Duckworth) made  his Drake diss ÈNot Like Us" the centerpiece of his set. He wore denim-on-denim, often called a "Canadian tuxedo", a potential dig at Drake, who was actually born ion the Great No-longer-white North. While performing recently in Australia, Drake told fans, in a possible allusion to the fallout from his feud with Lamar, that he is still "very much alive." Just not in the USA or Canada, though.

Some display of "American culture", eh. I might have written "Black culture", but in truth present-day American culture is Black culture. In its review, the NYT reminds us that Kendrick Lamar is a Pulitzer Prize winner. That there tells you all you need to know.

Agent 78, whose native tongue is not English, said, "Am I supposed to talk like that? I have no idea what he was saying." Agent 3, who is a dual citizen residing in Canuckistan, wrote, "If this is what Canada will be like if it becomes the 51st state, fuggedaboutit!"

At least one person who was part of the halftime show had a different idea of how to use the performance to advance an agenda. Toward the end of the set, he pulled out a banner combining the flags of Palestine and Sudan that featured a heart and a fist. Was this part of the performance, another level of commentary woven into a show already packed with it? Thanks to the Times of India, we have video.

 

In footage captured from inside the stadium but not broadcast, that individual was chased off the main stage just a few seconds after whipping out the flag. He ran around the field for a spell before he was tackled by a coterie of security guards in suits and carried off the field. That revolution, at least, would not be televised.

Another aspect of American culture was on display after the game, as 1000s of Eagles fans spilled out of bars and onto the streets of Philthydelphia after watching their team humble the Kansas City Chiefs. [Isn't "Chiefs" kind of racist, like "Redskins"? Ed.]

The city had opted not to grease the light poles even though a fan died two weeks ago after falling from a light pole after the NFC Championship Game. Despite that tragedy, Eagles fans showed no hesitation in climbing to the top of light poles, cars, construction vehicles, garbage trucks, small buildings, and almost anything else they could find.

Some fans clashed with and taunted police as officers attempted to keep the crowd confined to certain areas and under control. Dozens of fireworks were set off in the streets. However, it seems as though most Eagles fans wanted to climb things. Pole greasing and pleas to "PLEASE not climb them" didn't work.  

However, the joyful demonstrations were mostly peaceful, with not a lot of "reparations shopping", possibly because many businesses in the City of Bruvverly Love have been closed permanently because of... you know... something white people did.

That's enough. No more football until next year. Ed.

No, Virginia, they're not the same!

You do realize, don't you, that the US of A and Canada are quite different in many ways. That's why our national holidays in July, although only three days apart, are celebrated differently. That's why President Trump's talk about Canada becoming the 51st state is just trolling the gliberals and never-Trumpers like Andy Coyne and Dave Frum. Chill, baby, chill!

VIDEO: Why does DJT have Canada in the cross-hairs? One theory

It's the drugs, stupid! That's the thesis of Samuel Cooper, an investigative journalist and author of Willful Blindness: How a network of narcos, tycoons and CCP agents infiltrated the West. I haven't read this book -- just heard of it now, in fact -- therefore can't recommend it, but Mr Cooper certainly puts forward an interesting... and very scary hypothesis.

In this intereview with Daniela Cambone, Mr Cooper says, "There are very deep concerns that Canada is being used by China in a very sophisticated economic and truly criminal way." And that's the reason, he says, for President Trump's recent rhetoric about tariffs and Canada becoming the 51st state.

It's not a tactic to get Canada to renegotiate the trade deal with the US of A, he says, but a ploy to curb the massive illegal fentanyl trade originating from Canada. "China ships the precursors to the West Coast of Mexico and the West Coast of Canada," he says, "so Vancouver is used as a hub for these precursors." He also details how elite Chinese politicians involve Canada in illegal money laundering, while Canadian politicians turn a blind eye to it. 

In just a couple of hours, President Trump is scheduled to have a telephone conversation with Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of All Canuckistan. Walt wonders if this is what they will talk about! Will we ever be told? Don't bet on it. 

Thanks to Agent 6 for the lead.

What's all this nonsense about making Canada the 51st state?

News travels slowly to this corner of the forest, especially in winter. It has just come to the attention of this dual citizen that President Trump, in a meeting with Blackie McBlackface, Emperor of Canuckistan, that the latter's country would be better off joining the Excited States of America as the 51st state. Why, he said to Junior, you could even be the first governor. Or if not you, then Wayne Gretsky.

Chief Walking Goose allowed as how the frostbacks he rules might not want to join a country where everyone has a gun for self-defence, but not everyone has health insurance coverage provided by the government. But, said the Donald, if you don't join us voluntarily, we have ways of making you see reason (read: the way I see things).

Did he mean another invasion? As President James Madison said way back in 1812, "it would only be a matter of marching." Even President Trump, who ignores history that he doesn't like, knows how that turned out. So he assured M Trudeau and his minions that he wasn't talking about an armed invasion. Goodness, no! A 25% tariff on all Canadian goods and services would do just as well, or even better.

Since he said that, Canadians of all political stripes have had their knickers* in a twist over how to respond to the threatened tariffs. Some argue for a tit-for-tat tariff. [DJT sez: "OK then. Tat!"] Others say maybe joining the US of A isn't such a bad idea. It would cure their government's terminal wokeness once and for all, without an election, let alone an assassination.

What they are forgetting is that Canada and the US of A have been arguing about, threatening, negotiating and renegotiating tariffs since before Canada was even a country. In fact, it was the threat of American tariffs against Canada that forced the assorted provinces to unite as one country (more or less), beginning in 1867. What follows is adapted from Stone Country, by George Bowering, Canada's first poet laureate, Penguin Canada 2003. 

The US war with the Confederate States of America complicated Canadian politics greatly. A lot of Canadians joined the Blue Coats to fight against the slave economy. But the British, still smarting from bad experiences with their former colonies, built warships that wound up in Grey Coat hands. 

These ships made a great nuisance of themselves in the Union shipping lanes, and when the war was all but over, President Lincoln started talking about reprisals, especially the receiving-huge-acreage kind of reprisals. Luckily this sort of talk tapered off after Lincoln's assassination, and the work was left to the feckless Fenians. 

In 1871, the case was closed when Britain agreed that it should pay some monetary compensations. But the big new republic was a place in which business and the military were learning to butter each other's buttocks. If military annexation was not going to look all that good, there were always economic means.

In 1854 the US and British North America had signed a Reciprocity Treaty, which had proven quite handy for the businessmen on both sides, and during their big war, the US had been happy to get fish, food, minerals and wood without paying tariffs on them. But when the war was over, the US Senate began to listen to the complains of businessmen whose business was fish, coal and lumber. 

Listen, said these businessmen, we need protection from these foreign traders. Don't you remember that we just recently fought a couple of wars with them? Don't you realize that if we put up tariffs they will eventually beg for annexation so they can make a living? 

The US withdrew from the Reciprocity Treaty in 1866, whereupon some economic realists proposed the idea of a confederation of the several provinces. Said Sir John Eh Macdonald, who would become the first prime minister, "I'll drink to that!", and so the Dominion of Canada was born. 

This was the kind of thing that made Canadian schoolchildren decide that history was kind of boring. US schoolchildren, of course, never heard abut it. But over the years there have been a lot of apoplectic fits, suicides and desertions caused by the tariffs that keep showing up at the US border.

The lesson for DJT, should he deign to pay attention, is that Canadians will find a way to keep the World's Longest Undefended Border (TM) intact and still do business with the new imperial America. Most of them -- let's say 50% + 1 -- reject the idea of joining the Excited States of America, even if staying out costs them a bit more. As those arch-Canucks, Bob & Doug McKenzie, would put it:

* Note from Ed. to American readers: "Knickers" is what the Brits call ladies' underpants. Canadians call them "panties", like Americans do.
