Peter Navarro is an economist who pushed hydroxychloroquine as a COVID cure while he was a trade advisor during Trump I. He then worked to overturn the 2020 US'ian presidential election by conspiracy theory which ultimately led to a contempt of congress conviction followed by a short stay behind bars.
Now, during the dawning of Trump II, Mr. Navarro is back as the senior counsellor for trade and manufacturing and he has inserted himself into economic negotiations with Canada. In this role you've probably heard a bit of the kerfuffle about Navarro allegedly saying that Canada should be removed from the five eyed security surveillance consortium.
To wit, here is the lede of a recent report in the Financial Times:
A top White House official has proposed expelling Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network as Donald Trump increases pressure on the country he talks about turning into the 51st US state.
Peter Navarro, one of the US president’s closest advisers, is pushing for the US to remove Canada from the Five Eyes — which also includes the UK, Australia and New Zealand — according to people familiar with his efforts inside the administration...
Mr. Navarro has since denied this, but he has not denied the following, which was reported by Connor Stringer in the Telegraph yesterday:
A top White House official has threatened to redraw the Canadian border amid Donald Trump’s ambition to turn the country in America’s “51st state”.Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, is pushing US negotiators to discuss reworking the border with their Canadian counterparts...
Most of the Maritimes, Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto are bad enough.
But South Vancouver Island?
Never!

Subheader?....This is what Zelinsky said earlier today when he stood up to the made for TeeVee Bully Boy tag team and their faux balsa wood chair slams in the Oval Office this morning.

Canada must up its game and 1) start investing a minimum of 5% of the GNP in national defense for the next decade and 2) go nuclear.
After the utterly disgraceful "made for TV" attack on Zelinsky, it is clear that both Trump and Vance are Russian assets.
Time to close the border and start banning X, Fox News (from cable); and even take on Amazon.
We are at war, Trump has fired the opening shots and Canada must respond. The tariffs are nothing more than asymmetrical warfare, what happened today White House was a declaration of war on Europe and what remains of NATO. Zelinsky was luck not to fall out of a window on his way out.
In 1948, Czech politician, Jan Garrigue Masaryk, was thrown out of a window by Soviet agents.
"On March 10, 1948, the Czechoslovakian minister of foreign affairs Jan Masaryk was found dead, in his pyjamas, in the courtyard of the Foreign Ministry below his bathroom window. The initial investigation stated that he committed suicide by jumping out of the window, although some believe that he was murdered by the ascendant Communists. A 2004 police investigation into his death concluded that, contrary to the initial ruling, he did not commit suicide, but was defenestrated, most likely by Czechoslovak Communists and their Soviet NKVD advisers for his opposition to the February 1948 Communist putsch.
On September 1, 2022, Ravil Maganov, a Russian businessman who criticized the country's invasion of Ukraine, died after falling from a window of a hospital in Moscow on the same day the hospital was visited by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Some people who knew Maganov well said his death was unlikely to have been a suicide, and some media hypothesized a connection with various other suspicious deaths of Russian businesspeople occurring around the same time.
In October 2024, Mikhail Rogachev, a Russian businessman and former vice president of Yukos, was found dead after falling out of the window of his apartment building.
Thee world has changed, our friends are no more and it is time for Canada to grow up and deal with the new realities of a world gone mad.
Time for Pig War 2.0! Hydroxychloroquine only legitimate use is for gin and tonics, any member of the Commonweath would know that. This means that if there is going to be Four Eyes, we all know who should go, and I'll do THAT until I need glasses!
Maybe its not the 51st State....... but the 51st Parallel
EE--
Doesn't this defenestration business go all the way back to the start of the 30 years war at the Prague Castle in the early 17th century?
.
Gar--
That's a double Ha...Without the Lord bit and a couple of w's, of course!.
.
NVG...Or the 54th?
.
All those beautiful Lords and Ladies in the BUF!
for a while there they could hardly hold that defenestration thing in Czech...
It's clear where Trump wants to go, and he's not alone, there are many in his administration who want to annex/go to war with Canada..
They'll go along with anything Trump wants.
However, i'm a little less nervous than I was about a month ago..
Rays of light emerge...The American people
Trump is polling at 40% approval, and the hurt hasn't yet begun, these federal firings, USAID....From coast to coast and concentrated in red districts is empty pockets and pain..
Tariffs will make US economy worse..meaning Trump will be polling in the 20s by the time his recession begins...That my friends is lame duck territory and a midterm Dem blowout in the US House of Reps..
Trump's tariff threats, Trump's annex threats, his demeaning all of Canada..
We've had Can/USA trade disputes on softwood/oil/WTI discount rate...on many things..
But this time it's different...I'm seeing Chinese Canadians at the grocery store searching out Canadian produced goods, i'm doing it....Canada's economy is moving along well...From coast to coast Canadian producers are seeing big upticks in demand.
Our economy grew from nothing, not policy, not regulations, not innovation but from proud Canadians saying FU Trump.
Anyway.....Joe Public in America is pissed off, even maga are fretting.
His presidency is on the verge of crumbling....American masses(republican faithful voters) have finally clued in to what the Dems and sane people said of Trump...How dangerous, destructive and demented he is..
Hitler was young and smarter....and deranged
Trump is old angry and stupid.....
This isn't going to end well for Trump
Grant--
I'll believe that the polling numbers actually matter when the Congress critters on Mr. Trump's side of the aisle get so scared that they decide to ignore Mr. Musk's primary threats and actually push back publicly.

When I witnessed that shit show today with Zelenskyy and Putin ‘s henchmen in the Oval Office today, at first I was angry.Then I realized I was actually scared.Scared, because if those two sleazebags running the so called democratic beacon of the world, are willing to signal to Putin, that they have his back publicly like that, disregarding any concern of public backlash. Then attempting to annex Canada might not to far from reality.I worry that the orange magats replacement of top military brass with his new yes men signals that he has someone to go do his U.N defying bidding, say like ANNEXING Canada.I was hopefull like Grant G for the same reasons as he, until I saw that today.I remain hopefull still….also wary
Thanks DS.

Evil, you are right about military spending, but I say no to Nukes. Lean into drone technology and closing the border. Guerilla warfare is the way to beat the US, and that includes civilians, as the Resistance showed us in WW2, Viet Nam, Afghanistan. Cancel those stupid F35s, they're redundant and feed the US Military industrial complex. Time to get on a wartime setting.
