GCStratagies owner Darren Anthony comes to committee- A Masterclass in Evasion
From The Opposition with Dan Knight
Evasion and Lying at OGGO – Unraveling the Darren Anthony Chapter
It’s not every day that you get a clear view straight into the murky depths of the swamp, but ladies and gentlemen, the last two days at the OGGO committee with GC Strategies’ own Darren Anthony and Kristian Firth were nothing short of a political circus, a real exhibition of the swamp at its most flagrant.
Let’s break this down, because this isn’t just a story; it’s a case study in how the swamp operates, how it thrives on confusion, obfuscation, and, let’s face it, outright deceit.
Kristian Firth and Darren Anthony, the dynamic duo from GC Strategies, walked away with over two million dollars from the ArriveCan debacle. But this wasn’t just a lucrative contract; it was a masterclass in swamp tactics. Botler AI, the automated guardian of truth, flagged these gentlemen for altering their CVs. Yes, you heard that right. Meanwhile, the Auditor General unearthed a little creative writing exercise in their contract submissions—copy, paste, repeat.
And then there’s the hacking claim. Oh, the drama! Botler AI was allegedly compromised. But who did it, and how convenient was the timing?
But hold on, it gets better. Darren Anthony, in a performance that would have Hollywood calling, claimed he had absolutely nothing to do with ArriveCan. Nothing! Imagine that. And his defense for Firth? Well, it was less of a defense and more of an “I choose to know nothing” stance. Government reports? Never seen them, never read them. It’s like the man is living in a bubble – or perhaps, a swamp bubble.
Seriously, if Darren Anthony was aiming to salvage his reputation, he missed the mark by a country mile. It’s one thing to be out of the loop; it’s another to be so out of touch that you become a caricature of ignorance.
So, in the spirit of public service, I’ve distilled four hours of committee theatrics into 14 minutes of unmissable drama. This is not just about GC Strategies or Darren Anthony trying to dance around the truth. This is about exposing the tactics, the maneuvers, and the outright gall of those who think they can navigate the swamp without getting dirty.
So tune in, folks. This is more than a recap; it’s an exposé. It’s a reminder that the fight against the swamp is ongoing. We must remain vigilant, we must demand transparency, and above all, we must never let the architects of confusion dictate the narrative.
Stay sharp, Canada. The swamp is deep, but the truth is clear. Let’s drain it, one revelation at a time. Enjoy the show.

Mark Carney spent his entire life promoting the carbon tax.
Now he’s trying to scam Canadians out of billions and to do it he’s put a whole crew together.

By Newt Gingrich
In an amazing show of courage, Vice President J.D. Vance offered an intervention for some of our European allies.
That is the best way to think of the two historic speeches he made in France and Germany last week.
In Paris, Vice President Vance pledged the United States would do whatever it takes to lead the world in the development of Artificial Intelligence. He went on to assert that Europe’s automatic response to regulate technological change rather than adapt to it was doomed to fail.

Vance warned the Europeans that the Trump administration would retaliate to protect American high-tech companies from being fined and regulated by the European community.
Then, Vance went to the Munich Security Conference. It is the annual meeting of European leaders concerned about defense and threats to peace. The Vice President shocked the Europeans by launching a frontal assault on the decay of their political system.
As Vance put it:
“But while the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes that we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine, and we also believe that it’s important in the coming years for Europe to step up in a big way to provide for its own defense, the threat that I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values — values shared with the United States of America.”
He then went through a litany of specific complaints about the behavior of different European countries. They ranged from failing to control immigration, suppressing free speech, and Brussels seeking to control and define futures of independent countries such as Hungary and Romania.
The leading French newspaper, Le Monde (their equivalent of the New York Times) asserted that the American Vice President was declaring “ideological war on Europe.”
Le Monde was right. The European elites have been decaying for at least two generations. They hide behind their privileged status and take ideological positions that feel good but are destructive. Europe’s failures are devastating for most everyday Europeans.
I have personal knowledge about this. I have a Ph.D. in Modern European History – and I have lived in France, Germany, Belgium and Italy. As a young Army dependent, we were living in France when the French Army came back from Algeria, killed the French Fourth Republic and brought back General Charles de Gaulle to establish the Fifth Republic.
It is now the longest serving non-royal government in French history.
The European elites value each other’s opinions more than they value serving the people of Europe. The European elites live in a fantasy world of green policies that destroy industries and jobs, welfare policies which destroy the work ethic, and immigration policies which undermine the popular culture. They simply hope for a peaceful world without a strong military.
Meanwhile, state enforced speech codes protect Islamic extremists at the expense of local citizens.
The result has been a steady decline of European culture, economic development, and defensive capacity.
The Afghan Islamist who wounded more than two dozen people and killed a mother and her two-year-old daughter with a car two days before the supposed security conference signals the willful avoidance of reality at the heart of the elite European worldview.
To be clear, I admire European civilization. I believe America is far stronger and safer if Europe is healthy and capable of growing and defending itself.
I hope vice president Vance’s intervention at least starts European elites thinking about what must be done to revive their continent.
