Give some credit to young Democrat hustle Harry Sisson, reluctant as you may be, for turning some small amount of social media savvy into a lucrative career as a progressive influencer — not to mention all those sweet young ladies that the 23-year-old professional Democrat has reportedly tried to con into sending him their most intimate photos of themselves.

Chinese tariffs on $3.7 billion of Canadian agricultural goods and food products took effect on March 20, several months after Canada imposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and metals.
The Chinese tariffs were implemented shortly after midnight, imposing a 100 percent levy on Canadian imports of canola oil, oil cakes, and peas, along with a 25 percent tax on pork and seafood products.
The United States has been “raped and pillaged” by the EU, Donald Trump has said in a fresh jibe at European allies amid an expanding trade war.
Addressing his plans to reduce the national debt by imposing trade tariffs, the President claimed that America has been taken advantage of for years by its allies.
“For years, we allowed our country to be raped and pillaged,” Mr Trump told Fox News presenter Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night. “Much of it was done by our friends. Look at the European Union.”
TRUMP: FOR YEARS, OUR COUNTRY WAS RAPED AND PILLAGED
"We have to pay off our debt.
We're very under-leveraged when you look at the asset value of this country, but over-leveraged in terms of cash flow.
We're going to have a big cash flow.
For years, we allowed our… https://t.co/Dl4HpTNUvc pic.twitter.com/sylljbnNCN

Hamilton police say they are investigating a “series of mischiefs” after dozens of Tesla vehicles were damaged at a local dealership this week.
According to police, officers were called to a Tesla dealership, located at 999 Upper Wentworth Street, on Wednesday for a report of damage to some of the store’s inventory.
This isn’t patriotism it’s terrorism.
Vancouver International Auto Show removes Tesla over safety concerns
The Vancouver International Auto Show has removed U.S. electric carmaker Tesla from its event this week, saying its primary concern was the safety of attendees and exhibitors.
Tesla has faced numerous protests in Canada recently due to owner Elon Musk’s proximity to U.S. President Donald Trump, at a time when Trump has imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports and publicly made threats of annexation towards the country.
Smells like terrorism to me.

The entertainment industry is asking President Trump to protect its intellectual property. Yet don’t expect this to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. While the letter about Mr. Trump’s AI Action Plan has over 460 signatures, it avoids mentioning the man Hollywood wants to ride to its rescue.
The letter, referring only to “the current U.S. administration,” takes issue with “a recommendation by OpenAI & Google … to remove all legal protections and existing guardrails surrounding copyright law protections for the training of Artificial Intelligence.”
Canada’s trade war with the United States has some economists pondering whether the federal government should ease or lift its 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, a move some say could spur EV purchases and deliver a blow to Elon Musk’s Tesla.
Automakers, however, say the tariffs are critical to protecting this country’s nascent EV industry.
Canada followed the U.S. in slapping the tariffs on Chinese EVs last fall, while also putting a 25 per cent surtax on imports of steel and aluminum products from China.
Tell me Brookfield and Canada’s China class aren’t salivating.
“The upside is a likely invasion by the USA.”
Our streets would surely be safer and workers would no longer be undercut
Like it or not, a debate about mass deportations is now underway in Britain. Hardly surprising, since research estimated there were as many as 1.2 million illegal immigrants living in Britain by 2017, which will have increased since.
The concept of mass deportations still seems controversial, but so are the implications of the alternatives. Mass illegal immigration means the industrial scale breakdown of the rule of law. It is now undeniable that this gravely endangers the safety of the British people, especially women. To be an illegal immigrant means the first interaction you have had with our country is criminality. It is also unfair to those who make the effort to migrate here legally, and exposes the illegal immigrants themselves to ruthless traffickers, drug gangs, prostitution and risky work in the black market. There is no clear alternative to the deportation of large numbers of people.
OTTAWA — In an effort to pivot away from Canada’s overreliance on the U.S., Prime Minister Mark Carney is looking to Europe to build new security alliances and a new defence industrial strategy that could see European-designed fighter jets built in this country.
But two Canadian sources told the Star that prospect is only a possible implication of what Carney has set in motion after he ordered a review of the F-35 purchase plan, and travelled to Paris and London after discussing with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen his goal to see Canada be a player in the new drive to “rearm Europe.”
EU shuts Britain out of €150bn rearmament fund
A defense commitment to Brussels seems to be the price of admission.
This sounds like the first move in preparation of the end of NATO and US participation in Europe’s defense?
The thing is Canada doesn’t have much by way of armed forces. No European country does, collectively they could be a reasonably formidable force assuming the will to fight exists.
But it makes no sense for a lightweight like Canada to be signing up to defend Brussels absent the protection of the US umbrella.
I bet Brookfield is scoping opportunities however.
Melbourne residents have been sent a letter in the style of a police appeal as Beijing hunts for Kevin Lam, a pro-democracy Hong Kong lawyer who fled to the city
Kevin Yam was wanted on suspicion of “a range of national security-related offences”, the anonymous letter read.
The letter in the style of a police appeal was sent to residents in the suburbs of Melbourne, seeking the whereabouts of a dissident Hong Kong lawyer living in their midst.
“A reward of one million Hong Kong dollars is being offered by Hong Kong Police to any member of the public who can provide information on this wanted person and the related crime,” it added.
Trump administration threatening Canadian researchers
Researchers working on projects funded wholly or in part by American federal agencies have been sent a lengthy questionnaire to determine how their work aligns with the Trump administration’s political agenda.
So the US should keep giving them funds to push anti-human, racist and anti-USA crap. Got it.

(Reuters) – Greenpeace must pay a Texas-based pipeline company nearly $667 million in damages for the environmental advocacy group’s role in 2016-2017 protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, a jury said Wednesday.
The verdict in North Dakota state court came after two days of deliberations in a trial where pipeline company Energy Transfer accused Greenpeace of paying protesters to disrupt construction of the pipeline unlawfully and spreading falsehoods about the controversial project, located near the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

OTTAWA — Alberta Premier Danielle Smith fired a shot across the bow of new Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday, vowing to beef up a provincial law shielding oil and gas production from federal meddling.
Smith said at a press conference that new amendments to Alberta’s Critical Infrastructure Defence Act would put a firewall around Alberta’s energy sector by declaring oil and gas production sites and facilities housing emissions data and records as essential infrastructure.
