I am keeping this entry as part of an ongoing record: lived experience, spiritual inquiry, and the patient work of finding language for what moves between the visible and the unseen.
For a long time, I was hesitant to speak about politics in certain spaces, unsure of how my perspective would be received. But I’ve come to realize that this platform allows me to share my thoughts in a way that makes sense—not just to me, but in a way that communicates my truth to others who may not fully understand the complexities of my experience.
I have been labeled with schizophrenia by the medical system, though deep down, I believe my reality is something else entirely. I identify as a psychic-medium, someone who perceives and interacts with spiritual forces that many do not acknowledge or understand. Yet, despite my own understanding of my experiences, the medical world operates within a rigid framework, diagnosing me according to criteria that don’t fully capture what I go through. That label exists in the system, and I’ve come to accept it in certain ways—particularly when it comes to receiving the financial support I need to survive.
I went on disability not because I see myself as incapable, but because the nature of my experiences, particularly the negative spiritual forces I encounter, has made it incredibly difficult to maintain stable employment. It wasn’t just one thing—it was a combination of factors that compounded over time, creating a situation where traditional work became nearly impossible for me. I’ve always felt that my affliction was something beyond what a general practitioner could diagnose, something that eludes conventional medical understanding. Yet, ironically, the medication prescribed for schizophrenia does help in some ways—it dulls the intensity of my psychic experiences, making certain aspects of my perception more manageable. Whether this is purely chemical or something more esoteric, I can’t say with certainty, but I do know it has made a difference.
Financially, I receive support through ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program), which provides me with $1,250 CAD per month. That amount covers my rent, which I pay to family, along with a few necessities, including cannabis and e-cigarette supplies. Some might judge my use of cannabis, but I know from personal experience that it has been a stabilizing force for me. It has helped me manage certain episodes, alleviating anxiety and allowing me to function in a way that traditional medicine hasn’t fully addressed. There is a misunderstanding among many people—they assume substances like cannabis are the cause of certain afflictions, rather than recognizing that, for some, it’s a tool for relief and balance. I’ve made a case in the spirit realm for why weed is not to blame for my condition, and I stand by that belief.
Beyond the material world, I know that many ailments and afflictions have a spiritual origin. I have seen and experienced firsthand how negative spiritual forces can manipulate energy, influencing people in ways that mainstream medicine doesn’t acknowledge. I believe that what doctors interpret as psychiatric disorders can, in some cases, be something far more complex—something intertwined with unseen forces that most people don’t have the ability to perceive. My experiences as a psychic have led me to this understanding, allowing me to discern the ways in which spiritual attacks manifest in physical and mental symptoms. It is frustrating, to say the least, to exist in a world where such truths are dismissed, where science and medicine insist on reducing everything to chemical imbalances and neurological misfires. There is so much more to the picture.
And this brings me to the political reality of my situation. The idea of Canada losing its sovereignty, of falling under American control, is more than just a theoretical concern for me—it would have a direct, devastating impact on my life. If Donald Trump’s annexation attempt had been successful, I might have lost access to ODSP, a support system that has been a lifeline for me. Here in Canada, there are programs that allow people on ODSP to use their disability payments for free lodging in certain situations, a vital safety net for those who may not always have a stable place to stay. If something were to happen where I couldn’t remain with family, that system would provide me with a place to live. In the United States, disability support does exist, but it functions differently, and I doubt that under Trump—or any conservative American administration—there would be the same level of care for people like me. The idea of losing that safety net, of being forced into a system that does not prioritize people with disabilities or alternative medical needs, is terrifying.
It’s strange how personal politics can be. Some people see it as abstract, as something that exists in news headlines and debates, but for me, it is deeply tied to my survival. It isn’t just about policies on paper—it’s about whether or not I have a roof over my head, whether or not I can afford my medication, whether or not I am able to live with some sense of stability. Canada remaining sovereign means I still have access to these things. It means I don’t have to navigate a system that is even harsher toward people like me. For that, I am grateful.
At the end of the day, my reality exists in two worlds—the seen and the unseen. I am living in a physical society with physical rules and structures, but I am also constantly aware of the spiritual forces at play, the energies that shape our existence in ways most do not recognize. It’s not easy to exist between these worlds, especially when so few understand what I go through. But I continue to push forward, to make sense of my place in this reality, and to advocate for myself in whatever ways I can. My voice matters. My experiences matter. And no matter how others may perceive me—whether as schizophrenic, as psychic, or something else entirely—I know my truth. And I will continue to speak it.

March 7th, 2025 – Unconfirmed Memorandum and maps leaked on twitter reveal Trump is allegedly planning to annex the entirety of the great lakes and Southern Ontario, home to 13,491,332 Canadians. This amounts to 35.25% of Canada’s total population and includes its largest city, Toronto. This region accounts for 38% of the Canadian economy, and its loss would make Canada’s independence functionally impossible. *THIS IS STILL NOT OFFICIALLY VERIFIED*
March 7th, 2025 PT II – Trump claims to reporters that he had Canada’s dairy-tariff situation “well taken care of” at the time he left office the first time, “but under Biden, they just kept raising it.” In fact, Canada did not raise its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration.

In Trump’s own words, “The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear. Canadians’ taxes will be very substantially reduced, they will be more secure, militarily and otherwise, than ever before, there would no longer be a Northern Border problem, and the greatest and most powerful nation in the World will be bigger, better and stronger than ever — And Canada will be a big part of that. The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear, and we will have the safest and most beautiful Nation anywhere in the World — And your brilliant anthem, “O Canada,” will continue to play, but now representing a GREAT and POWERFUL STATE within the greatest Nation that the World has ever seen!”
March 11th, 2025 PT. II – Peter Navarro, a Senior Advisor for Trump is interviewed by MSNBC. When asked about the tariffs he responds with “Just tamp it down, please, over there, ok? They’re throwing down the hockey gloves.

Despite Trump’s claims about Canadian tariffs, Canada is the 102nd-highest nation on a World Bank list of 137 countries’ trade-weighted average tariff rates in 2022 – and had a lower average (1.37%) than the United States (1.49%) that year, the most recent for which the data is available. This means the US tariffs more than Canada, with Canada being one of the most tariff free countries in the world.
March 12th, 2025 – Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc announces tariffs on $29.8B worth of U.S. goods. This includes tariffs on Steel, Aluminum, computers, tools, sporting equipment and cast iron products.

March 13th, 2025 PT VI – Trump says that he would ‘allow Canada to keep their national anthem’ — as a US state.
“As a state, it would be one of the great states. This would be the most incredible country visually. If you look at the map, they do an artificial line right through it between Canada and the US. A straight artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago. And it makes no sense. It’s so perfect as a great and cherished state”.
March 13th, 2025 PT VII – Trump’s choice for United States ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, says that “Canada is a sovereign state” when asked about Trump’s repeated threats to annex Canada and make it a U.S. state.

Ingraham: You’re tougher with Canada than you are with some of our biggest adversaries
Trump: Only because it’s meant to be our 51st state. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada
This scenario presents a highly volatile geopolitical crisis between the United States and Canada, initiated by President Trump’s aggressive rhetoric and economic pressure tactics aimed at annexing Canada. Let’s break it down systematically:
Conflict Overview
Involved Parties:
United States (Led by President Donald Trump)
Canada (Led by Prime Ministers Justin Trudeau and later Mark Carney)
Other affected parties: European Union, NATO, G7, and U.S. allies
Nature of the Dispute:
Economic coercion (25%-50% tariffs on Canadian goods)
Political and sovereignty-based (Repeated statements from Trump advocating for Canada’s annexation)
Diplomatic crisis (Global backlash against U.S. actions)
Military and strategic implications (U.S. questioning border treaties, potential troop deployments in Greenland)
Key Recent Events:
Economic Warfare: Tariffs escalate to unprecedented levels, costing global markets trillions of dollars. Canada retaliates with its own tariffs.
Political Threats: Trump openly states that Canada should be a U.S. state and dismisses its sovereignty. His administration undermines existing U.S.-Canada treaties.
Global Fallout: Canada warns European allies of a U.S. threat, prompting stronger alliances with the EU and NATO members.
Public Sentiment Shift: Canada sees a surge in support for joining the EU and seeking military/economic independence from the U.S.
Historical Context
2018 USMCA Agreement:
Trump personally renegotiated and signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), replacing NAFTA.
His reversal in 2025 (calling it a “bad deal”) is a clear case of self-contradiction and economic sabotage.
U.S.-Canada Relations Pre-2025:
Historically one of the strongest alliances in the world.
Canada is the second-largest U.S. trading partner, with deep military, economic, and cultural ties.
U.S. attempts to annex Canada have not been a policy stance since the 19th century (e.g., War of 1812, Fenian Raids).
International Law & Ethical Assessment
Violation of Sovereignty (UN Charter, Article 2.4):
The UN explicitly prohibits threats or use of force against the territorial integrity of any state.
Annexation talk, combined with economic coercion, violates this fundamental principle.
Economic Warfare (WTO & Trade Law Violations):
The arbitrary imposition of tariffs is an abuse of trade policies.
Trump’s administration falsely justifies tariffs under “national security” while simultaneously stating that Canada should be annexed.
Geneva Conventions & Diplomatic Norms:
The illegal detention of a Canadian citizen by ICE violates international law.
Threatening economic destruction to force political compliance is a form of coercion bordering on economic warfare.
Media & Propaganda Analysis
Misinformation & Disinformation from Trump:
False claims that a “majority of Canadians” support annexation (polls consistently show only 10-13% do).
Rewriting trade deficit numbers ($35.7B vs. Trump’s false claim of $200B).
Misrepresenting Canada’s tariff policies (Canada has lower tariffs than the U.S.).
Conspiratorial Rhetoric from U.S. Officials:
Navarro’s baseless claim that “Canada is taken over by cartels” is an attempt to justify economic aggression.
Trump’s repeated questioning of the validity of Canada’s borders undermines its sovereignty.
Economic & Strategic Implications
Stock Market & Trade Disruptions:
U.S. stock markets suffer $6.2 trillion in losses due to instability.
Canadian-U.S. trade collapses, with both sides imposing heavy tariffs.
Geopolitical Realignment:
Rise of Canada-EU Relations: Growing support for Canada to join the European Union, a once-unthinkable scenario.
Alaska’s Opposition: Even Alaskan officials reject Trump’s economic measures, fearing the loss of economic ties with Canada.
NATO & European Response: G7 countries openly support Canada, signaling a potential shift in alliances.
Military & Border Concerns:
Trump’s questioning of existing border treaties raises fears of U.S. military posturing.
Increased talk of U.S. troop deployment in Greenland suggests broader territorial ambitions.
Verdict & Justification
Who is in the Right?
Canada:
Canada has acted in complete accordance with international law.
Its retaliatory tariffs are justified responses to U.S. aggression.
It has sought diplomatic solutions, aligning with European and global allies.
Who is in the Wrong?
The United States (Trump Administration):
Economic coercion and forced annexation attempts violate international law.
Trump’s statements and policies contradict previous U.S. commitments (USMCA, WTO).
False claims and conspiracy theories are fueling unnecessary conflict.
Potential Resolutions
Diplomatic Engagement:
Canada and allied nations (EU, NATO, G7) should pressure the U.S. diplomatically.
If tensions escalate further, international mediation (e.g., UN, WTO) should be sought.
Economic Diversification:
Canada should continue pivoting towards alternative trade partners, including the EU and Asia.
Strengthening ties with European defense industries can replace reliance on U.S. military contracts.
International Condemnation & Countermeasures:
The UN and G7 nations should issue a formal condemnation of U.S. actions.
Economic and legal measures (sanctions, WTO complaints) could be pursued.
Defensive Readiness:
While military escalation is unlikely, Canada should reinforce its security framework.
NATO allies should reaffirm commitments to Canadian sovereignty.
Final Thoughts
Trump’s rhetoric and policies are pushing U.S.-Canada relations into a historic crisis. His attempts at economic blackmail and political coercion are both legally and diplomatically indefensible. Canada’s best strategy is to solidify alliances with global partners while maintaining a firm stance against annexation threats. If Trump’s policies continue on this trajectory, the U.S. risks long-term economic and geopolitical isolation.
