In my view, Canada can inflict real personal pain on Trump using nothing but domestic legislation, your regulations and diplomatic savvy. Do it right and you can also effectively pressure his broligarch enablers.

Trump’s drive to install corrupt authoritarianism gives Canada leverage over the U.S. president that Russia only wishes it had. Here are five weapons in your arsenal:

  1. Crack down on crypto corruption.
  2. Shine light on shady real estate buyers.
  3. Tackle tax havens and money laundering.
  4. Punish broligarchs for the social harm they cause.
  5. Yank Musk’s supply chain.

Contact your MLA and MP. Contact your mayor and city councillors. Contact Elections Canada.

Tell your friends and family to do the same. Make noise. Make a stink.

Canada is known to have some corners of its real estate market with financial opacity problems. Well, guess who built a business leveraging exactly that?

Aside from Canadian criminals?
