Diane Francis: Stop complaining and cut a deal with Trump

In this federal election, it’s important for Canadians to remember that geography is destiny. Like it or not, Canada is tethered to the United States, and the next prime minister will have to sit down and cut a deal with the protectionist and erratic U.S. President Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, Liberal Leader Mark Carney fails to fully grasp the situation. Despite agreeing to negotiate with Trump after the election, he pronounced the old U.S.-Canada relationship “over,” and made state visits to London and Paris in the apparent belief that the 27 squabbling members of the European Union can replace America as Canada’s economic partner.

China is the enemy the US hopes to defeat.

Given that Carney, the LPC and the China class have chosen to side with the ChiComs I doubt that Trump will offer favourable terms.

What’s Going on Near Plano, TX? Former Detective Introduces Us to ‘EPIC City’

We have heard it time and again: America is a nation of immigrants. We pride ourselves on the fact that millions of people from all over the world have seen America, as Ronald Reagan said, as the “shining city on a hill,” the place where they could find a better life for themselves and their families. But something is happening. The immigrants of the last century came to America because they wanted to assimilate into American culture. They wanted to become Americans. Now, there is no such intention. And in one case, isolation, not assimilation, appears to be the goal.

Honda considering Canadian production move to U.S. in response to tariffs: report

UPDATE: Honda not considering moving auto production out of Canada says Ford, feds (I’m not believing this)

Honda to build $15 billion EV assembly plant and battery complex in Ontario Government incentives expected to total $5 billion, split evenly between Ottawa and the province

Honda is considering shifting some Canadian automotive production to the U.S. in response to new tariffs, according to a report by Japan’s Nikkei financial newspaper.

The company is looking to shift enough Canadian CR-V and Civic production to the U.S. so that it can meet 90 per cent of U.S. sales with vehicles produced there, up from its current level of about 70 per cent, the report said.

The U.S. imposed 25 per cent tariffs on all imported vehicles in early April, including ones produced in Canada despite the free trade deal, significantly raising costs for all importers.

Are Carney’s and the Liberal Party’s ties to China going to kibosh any hope of good deal?

Trump freezes $2bn in Harvard funding after university rejects demands

The Trump administration has said it is freezing more than $2bn (£1.5bn) in federal funds for Harvard University, hours after the elite college rejected a list of demands from the White House.

The White House sent a list of demands to Harvard last week which it said were designed to fight antisemitism on campus. They included changes to hiring, admissions and teaching.

Since Donald Trump was re-elected, his government has tried to reshape elite universities by threatening to withhold federal funds, mostly spent on research.

Trump has been proven right about pretty much everything

The American economist Thomas Sowell once wrote: “People will forgive you for being wrong, but they will never forgive you for being right – especially if events prove you right while proving them wrong.”

So it seems with President Trump. He has been proven right about pretty much everything and now he is trying to do something about it, the elite is howling with indiscriminate outrage.

Asylum claims surge at this border crossing into Canada, as Donald Trump’s crackdown forces officials to prep for possible U.S. migrant influx

The Canadian border agency says it has contingency plans in place to respond to a potential new wave of refugee claimants from the U.S., after a recent spike of migrants seeking asylum at an official land port of entry in Quebec.

While it’s too early to say if the number will keep growing, the Canadian Border Services Agency said Canada is prepared as the Trump administration ramps up removal of temporary migrants from the U.S.

While Publicly Rebuking Russia, Biden Opened 2014 Back Door for Moscow Gas to Flow to Ukraine

While Joe Biden publicly led the charge to punish Russia for its first invasion of Ukraine, he used his role as vice president to quietly open a backdoor for Moscow’s gas to flow to its neighbor in fall 2014, at a time when his son Hunter’s Ukrainian energy company sought such help, according to government messages in a private email account kept from Americans for more than a decade.

What Trump really wants from Canada

Lobster family hit hardest

Machias Seal Island is a tiny dot on maps of North America. But the uninhabited, fogbound rock is significant for its location in an area known as the “Grey Zone” – the site of a rare international dispute between Canada and the United States.

The two neighbours and long-time allies have each long laid claim to the island and surrounding water, where the US state of Maine meets Canada’s New Brunswick province – and with that claim, the right to catch and sell the prized local lobsters.

John Drouin, a US lobsterman who has fished in the Grey Zone for 30 years, tells of the mad dash by Canadian and American fishermen to place lobster traps at the start of the summer catching season each year.

Prosecuting Quran burners is capitulation to blasphemy laws

In February, 50-year-old Hamit Coskun was charged with causing “harassment, alarm or distress” to the Islamic faith after burning a Quran outside the Turkish consulate in London. A KC told the National Secular Society that the charges were “plainly defective”, while the NSS accused prosecutors of reintroducing a blasphemy law “by the back door”.

Trudeau Foundation cuts family ties after audit clears Chinese donation

The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation has formally severed its relationship with the Trudeau family, concluding a chapter marked by controversy over foreign donations.

Blacklock’s Reporter says while a 15-month federal audit found no wrongdoing in the handling of a $140,000 gift linked to Beijing interests, the foundation announced it has completely restructured its leadership and governance to preserve its independence.

Mark Carney’s trains in vain

If the Liberals’ basic campaign strategy was to transfer Justin Trudeau’s politics into a new, less objectionable host — less objectionable to some, anyway — then they can only be said to be knocking it out of the park.

Nothing has noticeably changed back at HQ with respect to their communications strategy: Trump, abortion, gun control, all the greatest hits are on shuffle. Carney spouts nonsense somewhat differently than Justin Trudeau did, but the nonsense comes just and thick and fast: About whom he’s met in the past , about the name of the Montreal school where 14 women were slaughtered in December 1989 , about his involvement with Brookfield when it relocated its headquarters to the United States .

Is Covid Rewriting the Rules of Aging? Brain Decline Alarms Doctors

Millions of long-Covid patients continue to struggle with cognitive difficulties

Five years after the pandemic’s start, millions of Americans are still struggling with long-lasting symptoms of Covid-19. Cognitive difficulties are among the most troubling and common symptoms in people both old and young.

These ailments can be severe enough to leave former professionals like Ken Todd unable to work and even diagnosed with a form of mild cognitive impairment.

I first spoke with Todd, a 56-year-old former Showtime executive in New York City, in 2022 for a column on long-Covid patients grappling with crippling fatigue.

If Labour won’t do anything about the rape gangs, I will

THIS Labour government has many delusions, but perhaps most astonishing is that it seems to believe we still live in the pre-internet era. That’s the only possible explanation for Jess Phillips, Minister for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, sneaking into the Chamber on Tuesday afternoon, hours before the Commons broke for Easter Recess, in the hope of brushing the betrayal of grooming gang survivors under the carpet.

In this rare foreign-policy election, how do the front-runners see the world?

Like any democracy, Canada has had national elections on any number of issues. Parties have differed over unemployment, interest rates, deficits, taxes, national unity, bilingualism, health care, crime, scandal, and leadership. Leaders have made their case and voters have made their choice, sometimes narrowly, sometimes decisively.

Rarely, though, has an election campaign turned on foreign affairs. It reflects our modest stature in the world. The election of 1911 was about tariffs and the navy, the elections of 1917 and 1940 about war and conscription. In 1963, it was nuclear missiles. In 1988, it was free trade with the United States.
