Those who continue mock me for my "collapse" claim, imagine debt outpacing citizens income. I am just one Exhibit of many. Clearly the citizens are struggling and our oligopolies, police state caste enforcers and oligarchs do not feel the suffering so they will watch the collapse from their private planes and plate of caviar. "The corrupt security industrial complex can do as they please as long as they leave ME alone".
The place is collapsing, as all police states eventually do. From CSIS on down, I tried to warn them of the impending consequences. History is batting .1000, one can easily prognosticate based on the perfection of that which has already passed.
The smart ones got out a long time ago. I wish I had been smart enough to not be fooled by patriotism for a constructed mirage. I must be one of the dumbest shytes ever born.
If America wants to win they need to learn from those who have already taken the full course since birth. A lifetime of instruction provides wisdom that some of us bestow upon you as our own star fades.

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the amount Canadian households owe outpaced income for the sixth straight quarter.
The agency says the seasonally adjusted ratio of household credit market debt as a proportion of household disposable rose 0.9 percentage points to 179.6 per cent in this first quarter of this year.
In other words, there was roughly $1.80 in credit market debt for every dollar of household disposable income.
The seasonally adjusted household debt service ratio — measured as total obligated payments of principal and interest on credit market debt as a proportion of household disposable income — was 14.75 per cent in the first quarter of 2026, up from 14.68 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The pace of seasonally adjusted household credit market borrowing, which includes consumer credit and mortgage and non-mortgage loans, totalled $35.5 billion in the first quarter, up from $34.5 billion in the last quarter of 2025.
The move came as net originations of mortgage loans fell $22.6 billion in the quarter, compared with $26.3 million in the fourth quarter of last year, offset by increases in consumer credit and non-mortgage debt.
