If you've ever wondered why Canadians say #ElbowsUp when referring to resistance against foreign agression.

The mutant version of capitalism we have now -- overwhelmingly tilted toward financial looters and their cartels -- is destroying community after community. This is deliberate, not an unintended outcome. Local hospitals are just one notably egregious example.

@dangillmor If we think the exploitation of the #poor and #MiddleClass is #unsustainable now, wait until the #billionaires rewrite laws to ensure they get the #ROI that #entitlements during the next fiscal year!

#ElbowsUp is not just for #Canada , eh!

Looking for tools or supplies from a Canadian company, and you can’t find at your local hardware store, https://OHCanadaSupply.ca is pretty good. Edmonton Alberta based. Great service and reasonable prices. Of course not everything they sell is made in Canada, but it beats shopping at USA hardware stores like HomeDepot, Lowes, RONA, RenoDepot etc. In Quebec we also have PatrickMorin and Canac hardware stores, both Quebec based.

For all Trump likes to talk about “America First” crypto, his businesses are looking very UAE-first. Trump’s World Liberty Financial has just secured a $100 million investment from the UAE-based Aqua 1 Foundation, which has leapfrogged Justin Sun in Trump’s pay-for-access leaderboard.

Aqua 1 Foundation, a United Arab Emirates-based crypto fund, has spent $100 million to acquire WLFI tokens, the token issued by the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial Project, and cultivate a close relationship with the Trumps. They have just surpassed shady crypto billionaire Justin Sun and his $75 million investment to become the single largest holder of WLFI tokens.1 World Liberty also profited massively last month from a deal in which Emirati investment firm MGX used the company’s USD1 stablecoin to perform a $2 billion investment into Binance [I83]. In a press release, Aqua 1 claimed that they and World Liberty would work closely to “jointly identify and nurture high-potential blockchain projects”, and said that World Liberty “plans to support the launch of Aqua 1’s Aqua Fund — a UAE-domiciled investment fund ... dedicated to accelerating the Middle East’s digital economy transformation”.2 For all Trump likes to talk about “America First” crypto projects, his businesses are looking very UAE-first.
World Liberty also just announced a partnership with London-based Re7 Capital, a decentralized hedge fund backed by the Hong Kong multi-family office VMS Group. The partnership aims to increase USD1 uptake on BNB Chain, the blockchain run by Binance.3 Connections between Binance and Trump have already been controversial, with Democratic Senators Warren, Durbin, and Blumenthal writing a May letter requesting information on Trump’s connections to](https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/114/779/560/270/449/469/original/87fde2170672ab78.png)
