This Is the Strongest Case for Trump’s Tariffs I’ve Heard Yet

Donald Trump’s tariff policies remain a lightning rod for debate. Democrats are sounding the alarm, warning of dire economic fallout and painting a picture of looming catastrophe.

Batya Ungar-Sargon, deputy opinion editor of Newsweek, made one of the strongest, most effective cases yet for former President Donald Trump’s tariffs during the latest episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher.” She broke down exactly why these tariffs are necessary, and by the end, she left Bill Maher flustered.

Same “Canadian Super Patriots” hating Trumps tariffs shipped your jobs offshore then flooded Canada with cheap foreign labour to ensure you remained impoverished and grateful for the pittance they pay for the rest.

Jagmeet Singh says NDP would cancel F-35 contract and build fighters in Canada

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh announced Sunday his party would cancel Canada’s contract to buy U.S.-built F-35s and look for companies to build fighter jets in Canada — a proposal that some defence experts say comes with steep costs.

“Purchasing from the [United] States at this time is not in our national security interest,” Singh told reporters in Iqaluit just days after Defence Minister Bill Blair said Canada is reconsidering its F-35 purchase amid tensions with Washington.

Doug Ford mistook Ontario’s electricity exports for a bazooka. He found they’re more like a squirt gun

Ontario Premier Doug Ford followed up his bellicose threats on energy exports this week by quickly retreating, demonstrating the limits of electron diplomacy.

When he first announced a 25-per-cent surcharge on electricity exported to the United States, Mr. Ford said it would remain in place indefinitely. If the U.S. escalated, he would halt transfers completely. “Until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario won’t back down,” he declared on Monday.

Canada’s Carney makes statement by choosing fellow globalist grifters, not US, for first foreign trip

Two European politicians, dressed symbolically in red and white, sent a message last week to Canada on social media declaring “we’ve got your back”.

Also signalling support was King Charles, who planted a red maple tree on the grounds of Buckingham Palace and wore his Canadian medals during a high-profile visit to a naval warship.

Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in Paris before heading to London on Monday – a day after his 60th birthday – for his first foreign visit hoping to achieve more than symbolic encouragement. He wants solid support from allies.

Trump and Putin to hold call on ceasefire deal soon, US envoy says

US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will speak in coming days, as talks continue over a possible ceasefire in the three-year war in Ukraine.

US envoy Steve Witkoff, who met with Putin on Thursday in Moscow, told CNN that he expected that “there will be a call with both presidents this week”.

“We’re also continuing to engage and have conversation with the Ukrainians,” he added. “We’re advising them on everything we’re thinking about.”

GREEN: This is lunacy! Canadian energy plan builds in power-price advantage to US

On Monday at an energy conference in Houston, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Trump administration will end the Biden administration’s “irrational, quasi-religious policies on climate change that imposed endless sacrifices on our citizens.”

He added that, “Natural gas is responsible for 43 per cent of U.S. electricity production,” and beyond the obvious scale and cost problems, there’s “simply no physical way that wind, solar and batteries could replace the myriad uses of natural gas.”

In other words, as a federal election looms, once again the United States is diverging from Canada when it comes to energy policy.

There’s No Such Thing as ‘Green’ Industry

News this week emerged about the collapse of Swedish battery startup Northvolt. “Like many companies in the battery sector,” the failed company’s website explained, “Northvolt has experienced a series of compounding challenges in recent months that eroded its financial position.” European Governments, including those of Britain and the EU, have long claimed that as pioneers of green policy and the ‘transition to a low carbon economy’, their policies will cause domestic industries and the green economy to boom. But instead of the green dream turning into reality, across the continent there is only a bleak economic outlook and deindustrialisation. Given that so much of this was predicted, yet those predictions met with policymakers’ intransigence, isn’t it time to ask if this nightmare is a feature of green policy, not merely a bug?

How migrants cross the English Channel without being stopped

GRAVELINES, France — By the time the French police arrived, the migrants were already in waist-deep, numbing waters, clambering onto an overcrowded dinghy that arrived by sea. But the boat was too full and the engine wouldn’t start. A handful of police officers watched the migrants for an hour as they struggled to get it going.

As the sun rose, a few migrants reluctantly climbed off and waded back to shore. They stood beside the officers as the engine finally roared to life, and the boat pushed off toward England.

The scene on the beach in northern France offered a glimpse of how thousands of migrants are able to make it across the world’s busiest waterway without being stopped.
