IT’S EXACTLY 8-DAYS SINCE I GOT THIS FLU TYPE SICKNESS:
A Day After This Time Last Week, at the Election Office Where I was Responsible for the Managing & Counting of the Ballots to Protect the Integrity of the Canadian Election, at least in My District (Riding) . . . I Was Beginning To Fade.
I Wasn’t Really Sick Yet. At Least Not Really as Much as I Knew I Would-Be, but I also Knew that I Wasn’t Quite Well Either. And by the Time the Polling Booths Closed (9:30PM), I Was Heading Down-Hill Fast.
By The Time All The Work Was Done & I Pulled-Out Near Midnight . . . Whatever I Had (Have) . . . The FLU, COVID or Whatever . . . I Cannot Remember Ever Being This Debilitated for such a Long Time.
But I Cannot Just Lie On My Back In Perpetuity Feeling Sorry For Myself.
And Just Because I’m Knocked-Down (Not Knocked-Out), Doesn’t Mean the World Stops Revolving, or Everything Stays the Same Until I Feel Better. I Don’t Feel Better . . . But I Won’t Feel Any Better By Doing Nothing.
SO THIS IS MY FIRST EDITORIAL IN EIGHT DAYS:
If This Editorial Is A Stinker, Blame It On My Illness. If It Is Any Good, Credit It To Luck.
CANADA’S NEW PRIME MINISTER WENT VISITING WASHINGTON TODAY:
Here’s My Immediate Takeaway After The Handshakes & Perfunctory Kind Words.
TRUMP. . . There is No Reason for the United States of America to Subsidize Canada to the Tune of $200-Billion.
TRUMP. . . America Doesn’t Need Anything Canada Has . . . Not Oil, Not Water, Not Aluminum, Not Steel, Not Automobiles . . . Nothing.
TRUMP. . . America Supplies Canada with all of Canada’s Military Protection for Free.
This Was Trump’s Opening Salvo . . . And It Even Went On Further Than That.
But What Shouldn’t Have Missed the Attention of any of the Meeting’s Viewers/Listeners . . . was When Trump Gave Himself Full Kudos for Mark Carney’s Election Victory Against Canada’s Conservative Party (Pierre Poilievre), Which Came Out Of The Ashes Like A Canadian Phoenix, Since Carney’s Entire Campaign Was Singularly To Stand-Up To Trump.
You Tell Me How Well Carney Was At Standing Up To Trump After Reading The Following:
During The Entire 35-Minute Press Conference, Carney Got To Speak Three Times, Two Times to State that Canada was Not For Sale, And Once to Make some Comment About Reopening the Canada/US Trade Agreement. I Don’t Think Carney Spoke For More Than A Few Moments In Total.
WHAT CARNEY NEVER SAID . . .
If You were to Take Away Canada’s Heavily Discounted Oil, Gas & Electricity Sold to the United States of America, which is Used by America to Lower the Cost of Domestic Energy for Americans . . . The United States Would Have A $60-Billion Dollar Trade Surplus Over Canada.
When Trump Said Canada Relies Upon The American Military To Protect Canada . . . Carney Could Have Said that NORAD, which is a North American Partnership Between Canada and the United States of America Going Back to the Beginning of the Cold War, Was Created To Defend The Entire Continent Of North America.
And Every Time a NORAD Jet is Scrambled in the Far North Because of a Possible Attack Coming from Russia Over North American Skies . . . Canadian Fighter Jets Are Scrambled No Less Than American.
And While At It . . . Carney Could Have Asked What American Troops Are Defending Canada?
Take All Countries Worldwide, and Canada Buys More American Retail Goods than all of them Combined, Not to Forget to Mention Industrial Goods, Services & Supplies.
Canadians, Also More Than All Citizens Of All Countries Combined . . . Visit America Annually as Tourists, as Canadians we Spend Untold Billions of Dollars in the United States of America at American Retailers.
The Preceding Doesn’t Even Begin To Scratch The Surface Of Canada US Trade.
THEY FIGURED THAT I WAS FULL OF BEANS:
A Great Many of American Readers to Galganov.Com Criticized Me for “Suggesting” that Trump should Keep his Mouth Shut During our Past Election . . . with His 51st State Comment, Governor Trudeau, Canada Ripping-Off America – Etc . . . Thinking I Was Wrong?
What Do You Think Now – After Trump Publicly Took His Bow For Getting Carney Elected?
DON’T GET ME WRONG . . . I DON’T BLAME TRUMP:
Trump Should Never Have Opened His Mouth, but that’s a Problem Trump Has. He Can’t Help Himself. . . which Might Become a Serious Issue Not-All that Far Down the Road that could Bite Every One of us in the Ass . . . But Trump Had No Vote In Canada!
CARNEY IS ON CANADA . . . Carney is on Every Canadian Who Showed-Up to Vote & Placed his or her Mark Beside Carney’s Name.
THE PEOPLE OF CANADA WERE WARNED:
The People of Canada were Given a Stark Choice Between a Tried & Proven Political Leader (Pierre Poilievre), and a Man Who Spent his Entire Life Managing & Spending Other People’s Money, without a Public History to be Proud-Of (Governor of the Bank of England/Governor of the Bank of Canada/Most Trusted Long Term Consultant Of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau).
We Had A Choice – We Chose The Worst . . . That Was Proven Today.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Whats behind Donald Trump wanting to help get Mark Carney into office as Prime Minister of Canada? Canada’s economic performance over the last nine years under the Liberals has been abhorent, so why would Trump want to foist more fiscal hurt onto Canada’s citizens by helping get the same party back into power? This is no “art” involved in Carney’s election, calamitous results for Canadians are fully anticipated.
Trump dominated! Got all of his points and positions across to the entire world before behind closed doors discussions got under way. Trump totally reduced Carney to a schoolboy with grimaced facial responses listening as their Headmaster told the kids parents what was going to happen to their kid. Carney sat edge of the seat, an ugly prune face. I loved every minute because it was also shown live on CNN. Im a 73 year old Canadian that loved Canada to death…but I badly want to be American!
Don’t feel bad. These things happen. I, too was laid low with a similar thing after returning from a trip to Japan. Fighting jet lag and then this crud, had me down. Hadn’t been that sick in many years. Now, as for Canada and its new Prime Minister, I doubt it happened because of President Trump’s words. For whatever reason, the Canadian voters elected Prime Minister Carney. So be it. They have made their decision and will now live Will always love your beautiful country and its
Can’t! Carney would sell his mom if it meant he would install the 1 world game. Your correct about the Canadian people. They royally screwed up. Glad you got better. I experienced exactly what u did some time back. I am not fully satisfied that we are not still experiencing fallout from the covid shots & may experience them 4 yrs to come. Not saying theories but it could fact.
KR Lee, I agree…I lived 58 years disease/flu/cold free…after 2 covid shots in 2020 (which I so regret now) I can t seem to shake off a cold/cough/general malaise.What did they inject us with??? HG, feel better soon…keep up the good work.
Howard, glad to see that you’re better, your editorials were missed. As I mentioned in my last comment to your editorial, every time Trump opens his mouth I cringe, regardless of the subject, and for the life of me I don’t understand why Trump inserted himself in the middle of the Canadian elections that resulted in Carney’s victory, that is a mystery to me. However, the Candian voters who were panic stricken are the ones that screwed up and now will have to live with the consequences. How s
Trump got the person he wanted to negotiate with, someone that is a follower not a leader, serves the WEF and that agenda.
All I am going to place right here: If you have the time and inclination; research the Mitt Romney/Barack Obama election. You just witnessed it in Canada. President Donald John Trump had nothing to do with Canada or the election. Canadians did this to themselves, just like the Americans did in the above-mentioned election of Romney/Obama. Carney is Globalism first and destruction of Canada is imminent; Sadly. Underestimate President Donald John Trump at your own peril.
Communist LIEberal WEF Carbon Tax Carney … What is coming will be biblical … It is pack the pantry time … how sad that Canadians could not see the BS … even after 10 years of Trudeau … I am disgusted and appalled …
Replacing Trudeau with Carney is akin to crapping your drawers but changing your shirt.
I voted for Poilievre. BUT – in defense of Mark Carney at the White House: “It is wrong to expect a reward for your struggles. The reward is the act of struggle itself. Not what you win. Even though you can’t expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make the attemp. That’s morality. That’s religion. That’s art. That’s life.” – Phil Ochs / We hope you’re feeling better, Howard. Julie & I were worried about you. Wishing you & Anne Good Health.
Carney’s con “The Yanks are coming to annex Can fear mongering & that only tin foil hat Libs can save Can from Trump caused one “The sky is falling” genius to write to Red Deer News that he was sleepless over fears of US tanks rolling over Edmt HL Bridge to take Alberta Leg. His comments were published without question of him or of Carney’s anti-pipeline stance & bad advice for the Libs the past 10 yrs. US evaded kackling Kamala while Carney conned Cdns to another Lib Gov’t.
Great observations as usual, Howard. I am afraid that Trump is going to open his mouth too much, too many times, and, using an old phrase, if given enough rope, he will hang himself. Unfortunately, many other people will be greatly affected by his seemingly careless comments. He would be wise to listen to your comments about how Canadians have been involved in things in the world. Get better. Thanks again for your insights.
I remember my days in High School. We had our share of bullies. There is only one way to deal with a bully and that is to stand up to him (or her). Time will tell if Mark Carney could stand up to Donald Trump. And here I was rooting for Trump against Kamala Harris. I did not like like Harris. But now my investment portfolio is way down and many of my friends are losing their jobs. What did we Canadians ever do to President Trump?
I think Trump is doing exactly what he wants…he is leading everyone around by the nose…its only early in this Presidency…start tough and you negotiate from a position of power! That’s how Trump does it. But sad as it may be in Canada, Australia did exactly the same…voted in a socialist/communist prime minister/government for another three years on the same basis…Trump derangement syndrome! We are in real peril.
Well Howard, I’m sorry that you were sick and I’m sorry that Carney was elected. I hope that Canada will learn from it. I was hopping to see a repeat in Canada as it was in USA on November 5, 2024.
President Trump is being extremely disrespectful of all the facts you mentioned above. It makes him sound very silly and ignorant of the real possibility of a world “ super continent “. Just an all around big lose lose for the USA and Canada. What a shame.
Howard Hope & Pray you’re on the Mend. DJT can’t help but to Opine on Everything, even to his own Detriment. I Feel so Sorry for the Election Outcome – But Canadians Did this to Themselves – Just like we did when we Put in obama (the WORST POTUS in modern history). These Globalist Elites have no shortage of Puppets to do their Bidding. Get Well Howard we Need You.
Get well Howard we nee you! You are in my prayers! Carney was not elected by true Canadians, he was elected by all the foreigners Canada allowed into the country! Sound Familiar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A weak Carney & overpowering Trump. Body Language was enough. So much for pathetic Carney who boldly told Canadians he is only person who could tackle Trump. Interpret Trumps “Never say never” as, “If we want it we’ll take it” (Kissinger). e.g. He’s taking Ukraines precious minerals while there is a war with Russia. BTW your previous blog. I don’t think I’ve ever had the flu. 5000iu D3 and 50mg Zinc daily never the jabs and no covid which is just a flu form. Best wishes recovering.
Again, sorry about your election results. Canadians will have multiple more years of Trudeau #2. I’m sorry you’re not well yet. I hope it will be shortly you start feeling on the mend. As for Trump, he’s already known for his ego which is obvious almost every time he opens his mouth. Every time I think he may have ‘learned a lesson’ in that regard, he does it again. I’d hoped the ear shot humbled him a bit; but if so, it was short lived. Again, hope you feel better soon.
You most likely had fluA as we did. It took us more than 4 weeks from onset to start feeling better. Hoping you get stronger each day. I agree with your statements about Carney and Trump. I now believe that Trump supported Carney because he thought he’d run all over Carney. Disgusting. And Trump insists on saying Canada should become our 51st state. He’s just WRONG on this point. Canada is a country and should be supported as such. We support Canadians’ right to be a proud country!
