Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) couldn’t answer why all her Democrat colleagues are taking publicity trips to hang out with an alleged MS-13 alien deported back to El Salvador. Instead, she cursed out the reporter who politely questioned her.
The consequences if Trump followed through on his belligerent rhetoric about a “51st state” would be catastrophic.
The idea of a war between Canada and the United States was inconceivable even a few months ago. Most Americans still don’t believe it’s a possibility, or simply haven’t noticed their president’s occupationist rhetoric, or can’t imagine a world in which a neighbor they have been at peace with for 150 years is suddenly an enemy. The very idea seems completely absurd.
But Canada does not have the luxury of dismissing White House rhetoric as trolling. Canadians are imagining the unimaginable because they have to.
As fires raged in central Israel in late April, many Palestinians celebrated, brazenly demanded more fires, and called for Israeli homes to be reduced to “ashes.”
All this happened on the day Israelis commemorated fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism and prepared to celebrate Independence Day.
“We ask God to protect our people and land. May these fires confuse the [Israeli] occupiers and their embattled settlers,” wrote Palestinian social media user Hana Barghouti.
Nearly a quarter of people in Alberta see themselves as Albertans first, and Canadians second. And one in 10 believe their province would be economically stronger as part of the U.S., while another two in 10 favour a future as an independent country, a poll conducted in the wake of the federal election has found.
Among its retaliatory strikes for President Trump’s tariff war, Beijing targeted Hollywood movies, threatening to deny them Chinese ticket sales. It may not need to.
Initial figures for the latest Marvel superhero film, Thunderbolts* — the first Hollywood blockbuster to premiere in China since Trump’s “liberation day”, when his tariffs were announced — suggest local audiences will not need anything as official as a ban to stay away.
Prime Minister Mark Carney will be watched closely by Canadians infuriated by Donald Trump — and by an anxious business community looking for tariff relief — when he meets with the U.S. president Tuesday in Washington.
The brutal home invasion and murder of a 47-year-old Israeli-American businessman last week led to the arrest of three suspects. The latest twist? How they got into the country.
You guessed the twist already, didn’t you?
Yeah, they were illegal aliens.
The court-appointed monitor for Lion Electric says the vehicle maker is very likely to be liquidated after the Quebec government refused to invest more public funds in the company.
Jean-Francois Nadon, a representative of Deloitte, said in a court hearing this morning that government aid would have been a condition of any sale of the struggling company.
Nadon says Deloitte sought offers over the weekend from companies interested in liquidating Lion Electric, and is hoping to finalize a transaction by next Monday.
The Hollywood Bowl’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar just got a whole lot gayer with the casting of Adam Lambert as Judas.
This three-night event, which will be part of the Hollywood Bowl’s summer series, will also feature Cynthia Erivo as Christ.
Erivo is a gay black woman.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is no Justin Trudeau. While the team around him may be familiar, the tone has clearly shifted. His first week in office signaled a more data-driven, technocratic approach — grounded in pragmatism rather than ideology.
That’s welcome news, especially for Canada’s agri-food sector, which has long been overlooked.
One of the men accused of taking part in a wave of sectarian violence against Syria’s Alawite minority two months ago has told the BBC that he and other armed civilians who travelled to the area were advised and monitored by government forces there.
Abu Khalid said he had travelled as a civilian fighter to the Mediterranean coastal village of Sanobar on 7 March, to help battle former regime insurgents.
“The General Security department told us not to harm civilians, but only to shoot at insurgents who shot at us,” he told me.
A lot of scores waiting to be settled in Syria.
U.S. President Donald Trump “seemed positively delighted” about the impact he had on Canada’s federal election, a U.S. journalist said while recounting a recent interview with the president.
Ashley Parker was one of three writers at The Atlantic who interviewed Trump in the Oval Office for an article published late last month, before Canadians elected a Liberal minority government in last week’s election.
Elon Musk may have his sights set on Mars, but for the time being the billionaire is building an empire closer to home.
The Tesla and SpaceX tycoon has been given the green light to set up his own new city in south Texas – dubbed Starbase – after securing the backing of an overwhelming majority of locals, many of whom he employs.
A ballot on Saturday secured 212 votes in favour and just six against. The vote also secured the election of the city’s first mayor and two other officials, all of whom are current or former employees of Mr Musk’s company SpaceX.
A near-death experience often leaves survivors permanently changed. They emerge more grateful, more focused, and, crucially, more humble. The brush with mortality strips away illusions of control. Survivors stop taking life for granted. They shift their priorities. They understand that survival is not a reward. It’s a reprieve.
Politics isn’t so different. Just a few months ago, the Liberal Party of Canada was facing its own near-death experience. Polls showed them collapsing. Even insiders were bracing for the worst — a party reduced to third place, possibly without official opposition status.
NO. If anything they’ll double down.
Along an idyllic stretch of the California coastline, a gaggle of bronzed surfers tackle magnificent waves whipped up in the Pacific Ocean by gale-force winds.
Most of the time, Huntington Beach is a surfing haven – but even when it isn’t, nothing stops the long-haired, wetsuit-clad crowd who turn up with their boards in all weathers.
This is America’s “surf city”, a title it fought a 15-month court battle to keep.
