Guess Who Is Already Backing Down After Trump’s Tariff Threats
Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Wednesday suggested that Canada would drop its tariffs on U.S. goods if President Donald Trump eased up on his tariffs on Canadian goods.
‘There’s a disconnect’: Conservative candidate in GTA battleground thinks Liberal-led polls are missing something
Costas Menegakis’s message to party HQ has been that the Conservatives’ spotlight on the cost of living is resonating in his suburban GTA riding
RICHMOND HILL, ONT. — Not helpful. That’s how one Conservative candidate and former MP describes calls from a prominent Ontario strategist for the federal Tory campaign to shift its messaging.
“I don’t dance around things,” said Costas Menegakis from his second-floor campaign office in Richmond Hill, Ont., a city of nearly 212,000 outside of Toronto.

Large majority of Canadians want Carney to disclose business interests: poll
OTTAWA — Two-thirds of Canadians think Liberal leader Mark Carney should proactively reveal his business interests before election day, according to a new poll.
A new Postmedia-Leger poll suggests 67 per cent of Canadians feel Carney should “voluntarily reveal his business interests” before voters go to the ballot box April 28.
Trump poised to reshape global economy and how world does business
Every time Donald Trump has mentioned his plan to levy massive tariffs on imports into the US, there has been a widespread assumption that they will be delayed, watered down or rowed back.
Today, he will reveal in the White House Rose Garden not just how serious he is about “the most beautiful word in the dictionary”, but effectively call time on decades of economic globalisation.
And it is still possible that he will do this by launching the equivalent of a salvo of ballistic missiles into the global trading system, with a universal tariff on all imports into the USA.
Happy Liberation Day, America
If a country charges tariffs on American companies trying to do business in that country, and we don’t reciprocate, that’s not free trade, that’s called getting ripped off. pic.twitter.com/LVjhPLZBv3

The case for Alberta as the 51st US state
Alberta would make a great 51st state. It has a population of 4.8 million and had a gross domestic product of $244.3 billion in 2024. (All numbers here are in U.S. dollars.) This would rank us 27th among the 50 states, just behind South Carolina at $246.3 billion. Over 90% of our economic output is from oil & gas extraction, refining, distribution, and servicing. Alberta has over 37 billion tons of mostly readily accessible coal reserves, the world’s third-largest proven oil reserves, and among the world’s top ten largest natural gas reserves.
China’s Tariff-Dodging Move to Mexico Looks Doomed
Chinese firms invested billions of dollars on Mexican factories to make products for the American market, shipping goods tariff-free under a U.S. trade agreement now in peril
Su Xiuyong moved to Mexico from central China 20 months ago. He doesn’t speak Spanish or English, and finds that he hates the food, but the opportunity was too good to pass up.
Su’s employer, a Shenzhen-based construction company, helped set up Chinese factories south of the U.S.-Mexico border, part of a business boom triggered in 2018 by President Trump’s first round of tariffs on Chinese imports. Su said his firm, Jilian Engineering, can build a small factory in as little as seven months in Mexico.
Chinese companies have kept many goods flowing to the U.S. by manufacturing in Mexico, where products ship to the U.S. tariff-free under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement that Trump negotiated in his first term. Chinese firms have invested billions of dollars in hundreds of Mexican factories that make auto parts, electronics, home appliances, furniture, medical equipment and other products for the American market.
Shocka! Immigrants and visible minorities can be racist too according to study that contradicts a decade of Liberal government smears against White people
Immigrants and visible minorities have negative views of other groups in Canada at similar, and sometimes higher, rates as the general Canadian population, a new survey has found.
The poll by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies challenges the conventional view that prejudice in Canada follows a simple “majority vs. minority” pattern, revealing that negative sentiment is more widespread and complex. The survey, which was conducted ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21, suggests that prejudice exists across multiple demographic groups and varies by factors such as age, language and immigration status.
But we were told only white people can be racist!

Putin begins biggest Russian military call-up in years
President Vladimir Putin has called up 160,000 men aged 18-30, Russia’s highest number of conscripts since 2011, as the country moves to expand the size of its military.
The spring call-up for a year’s military service came several months after Putin said Russia should increase the overall size of its military to almost 2.39 million and its number of active servicemen to 1.5 million.
That is a rise of 180,000 over the coming three years.
Can Young Adults Afford Independence? The Challenge of Canada’s Housing Costs
Canada’s escalating rents and a shortage of housing have not only created challenges for young adults seeking their own homes; they are also reshaping the fundamental structure of family living arrangements, new research suggests.
The increased cost of apartments and homes in cities like Toronto and Vancouver in recent years has forced many young adults to live with family or roommates to manage costs, according to a study from the University of British Columbia.
Fury at ‘self-segregated’ Islamic ‘mega city’ in tiny Texas town for 1,000 new Muslim homes… as chilling medieval practices emerge
Opponents of a proposed Muslim city in Texas flooded a public meeting Monday in hopes of stopping a controversial Islamic compound from getting necessary permits to begin construction.
For hours, the Collin County Commissioners Court heard dozens of speakers pleading with them to deny the East Plano Islamic Center or EPIC, permits needed to build a city for Muslims that’s meant to be ‘the epicenter of Islam in America’ by organizers.
EPIC, a sprawling house of worship located in Plano, Texas- just north of Dallas- has recently become a target for Gov. Greg Abbott who has accused the mosque of breaking the law, despite no arrests or charges being made public.
Lorne Gunter: Alberta Premier Smith’s trip to Florida aligns with Team Canada approach
I realize plenty of Canadian politicians and pundits have been praising Ontario Premier Doug Ford. Ford threatened to cut off Ontario electricity headed to the U.S. upper Midwest and because of that was granted a face-to-face meeting in Washington, D.C., with Howard Lutnick, President Donald Trump’s commerce secretary and tariff guru.
Brussels Revokes AfD Lawmaker’s Immunity Over a Tweet
It may sound like a bad April Fool’s joke, but unfortunately, it’s not.
On Tuesday, April 1st, the European Parliament’s plenary voted to remove the diplomatic immunity of four conservative MEPs at the request of national prosecutors. They include two Polish MEPs from PiS (ECR) who are being persecuted by the Tusk government, a Czech MEP from ANO (Patriots) who was already acquitted twice, and a member of the German AfD (ESN)—whose only crime was tweeting an image depicting former and current German leaders doing what appears to be the Nazi salute.
The MEP tweeted a copy of the original pic like the one above less the slogans. It’s a legit pic.
Musk was innocent I am not sure about Merkel’s intent.
Mulcair: Carney campaign must up its game in Quebec
Riding high in the polls, Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s campaign seems set to hit serious turbulence — turbulence that could send cutlery flying in what has so far been a smooth flight. When
Carney’s experienced crew prepared him for his first electoral voyage, “Quebec issues” appeared to rank low on the priority list, with his ability to handle Donald Trump the campaign’s main selling point. The brilliant and affable central banker turned businessman was being positioned as the leader who could stand firm against Trump’s bluster.
