Facts First
My! My!

Look at who's virtue signaling now...

Trading above $0.74 U.S. again

I have the best and funniest friends...

The Canadian dollar traded above 74¢ U.S. for a period today...

If I'm not mistaken, this might be the highest it has traded in greater than a year

Media/political literacy: The implication here is that even during an existential crisis, the word of the Treasury Secretary of the nation seeking to absorb us is more worthy of being trusted than that of the Prime Minister of Canada; that he would be **that** disloyal...

Wow!

No

We're pointing to a G7 nation not in the Eurozone

But if you insist...

Will South Korea do?

We'll note the Euro data cited comes as it signed "the mother of all deals" with India.

We'll respectfully leave it at this: the frame we openly use in such matters is 'relative to the US dollar'

We see the two non-U.S currencies against which the Canadian$ has decreased and raise you two non-U.S. currencies against which the Canadian$ has increased

We acknowledge that when we speak about the value of our dollar, we usually speak relative to U.S.

Others' personal mileage may vary

Mark Carney's Davos message in an editorial cartoon.

IQ47 threatens 100% tariffs on Canada...

The Canadian dollar rises 1.59% over the past 5 days to reach near-one-year highs.

2. But gold is up though
January 26, 2026 at 5:58 PM
1. So IQ47 threatens 100% tariffs on Canada...

And world heard Charlie Brown's teacher: "Wah-wah. Wah wah-wah waaaaah!"
January 26, 2026 at 5:58 PM
Wow!

Great numbers for Pierre Poilievre going into that leadership review!

And this from Abacus too!

We do not.

We don't "celebrate" freedom.

We achieve it. It's work. Daily hard work.

And also, while "opposing communism" is something we've done in our history, it's neither our "identity", nor our "culture".

PS: Your version of "freedom" is rather frightening, BTW, mini-JD

And in turn, we are sorry to have to break it to you, Mr. ReRun, that Canadians also can't eat snarky posturing posts on the socials.

Just say'n.

Premier Trump screaming to the world how weak he is and how threatened he feels (and proving PM Carney's speech accurate in the process)

A 100% 'you hurt my feeling' (yes, singular) tariff, eh?

On ALL Canadian goods, eh?

Including oil and gas, eh?

During winter, eh?

😂

And the markets yawned...

RE: ⬆️

...and it is not his only blunder of that type this week

In this one, he either proves that he does not know how to read, or (more likely) that he deliberately misinterpreted employment numbers

Mr. Genuis had to change his story along the way, and when asked for proof, he had none and opted to deflect instead.

Note the special guest appearance by Michelle Rempel Garner doing her best JD Vance, being judge, jury, and executioner, before having any facts.

2. And if it is lying, he seems to do it a lot.

In this one, he had to change his story along the way, and when asked for proof to back it up, he had done and opted to deflect instead.

1. BREAKING NEWS

Garnett (Disen)Genuis doesn't know how to read

OR

Garnett (Disen)Genuis is deliberately and knowingly lying to you

The 24/7 online perpetual Conservative rage/hate machine treats you like you are an empty glass waiting to be filled with its water

This particular brainwashee doesn't know Canada well enough to know that 2026 is a census year

They act as if real life is The X-Files and they SO want to believe...
January 9, 2026 at 6:29 PM
... they are the country we look at, while cocking our head to the side with pity.
