Allegedly, Smith's staff pressured health officials to approve over half a billion dollars in private health care contracts to a businessman who bought them seats in NHL luxury boxes in return for the favour. Then Smith fired a CEO who tried to investigate.

WATCH: The gloves are off! It’s been an under-reported scandal for quite a while that Pierre Poilievre refuses to apply for security clearance. It was a scandal EVEN BEFORE the most recent efforts to undermine Canada’s democracy, sovereignty and economy from Trump, Musk and the GOP.

Suspend enforcement of American intellectual property (copyright, patents, DRM/repair, etc.) in Canada?
I disagree with his hard cynicism over free trade but I like the idea of going big and being creative in responding to tariffs.

It's hard to explain the concrete benefits of leading the free world since many of the benefits are intangible. The benevolent hedgemon is a unique brand and stature that no nation is ever likely to enjoy again. We'll all be poorer for losing it. Nowhere more than America itself.

I realize now that I have a “trade deficit” with the store across the street. I walked over and bought a jug of milk. The store is abusing me and I’m tired of subsidizing it by buying something at a fair price that I want. I’m going to apply a tariff that will raise the future price of milk for me.

The take I am most certain of that gets me in the most trouble is just "The reason homes are so expensive is because there are not enough of them, so we really really really need to build more of them."
