A strong Canada ‘will help make America great again,’ Carney tells New York business leaders

Prime Minister Mark Carney told a crowd of New York industry titans and financiers on Thursday that Canada and the U.S. need to pursue a new partnership — a bilateral relationship premised not on how things were done in the past but one where a stronger, more independent Canada can selectively help “make America great again.”

Carney said as U.S. President Donald Trump prompts “tectonic shifts” in trade, and as the world becomes “more divided and dangerous,” Canada must focus more on “taking care of ourselves” and building up at home by embracing its status as an energy superpower.

But that doesn’t mean Canada wants to close itself off from the U.S., Carney said in lunchtime remarks to about 200 attendees at the city’s Yale Club.

Can Utah Save the Great Salt Lake?

Last August, a dust storm swept across northern Utah, crossed the Great Salt Lake, and kept going, carrying toxic sediment more than 50 miles through heavily populated areas. Buildings disappeared into a brown haze. Cars were coated in a fine, pale film. Parents kept children inside. Health officials issued advisories about toxic particles now suspended in the air above one of America’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas.

GOLDSTEIN: Albertans are frustrated with being Canada’s cash cow

The reality is that many Albertans — and not just those already convinced that separation is the only answer — are legitimately frustrated with their province’s status in Canada.

Gratuitously insulting them over the next five months, at least, as Albertans debate their future role in or outside of Confederation, serves no purpose.

The CBC. Absolute arsehole of journalism in Canada.

Why Any Deal with Iran Is a Mistake

Once again, the US appears prepared to negotiate another agreement with Iran in the hope of limiting Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and reducing tensions in the Middle East. The negotiations are a dangerous illusion, based on the false assumption that compromise, sanctions relief, and engagement are the only path to regional stability.

There can be no “good” deal with a jihadist regime that openly sponsors terrorism across the Middle East, brutalizes its own people, calls for the destruction of Israel, and continues to chant “Death to America.”

Indian trucker given $2,000 fine for fiery crash that killed two

For causing a fiery crash just north of Kamloops, B.C., that killed two people, a non-citizen trucker will be required to pay $2,000 and undergo 18 months of probation.

And the B.C. case is just the latest in a string of recent Canadian court decisions where a trucker was handed a controversially lenient sentence for causing a fatal crash, often due to inattention.

Why do we allow foreign murderers to stay in Canada?

Cuba Falling: Desperate Times Call for Desperately Attacking Rubio

You know they’re in desperate times when the Cuban regime starts sending its mouthy representatives to do interviews on Fox News of all places, hoping to reshape the narrative.

The country’s foreign minister, Bruno Rodríguez — and arguably the regime’s slickest mouthpiece — did just that earlier this week, and he went straight after his favorite punching bag: our dear Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Nolte: Enthusiasm for ‘The Odyssey’ Collapses In Wake of Race-Swapping Debate

Currently, according to The Quorum, a company that tracks enthusiasm for upcoming movies, interest in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is plummeting, and when I say plummeting, I mean that more people are excited about Scary Movie 6, the latest installment in a 26-year-old franchise.

That movie has bigger problems if the Achilles casting is true.

Searches for fake graves face funding barriers, witnesses tell international tribunal

In the past five years, the Survivors’ Secretariat in Six Nations has acquired over 36,000 records related to children who attended the Mohawk Institute Residential School, according to secretariat lead Laura Arndt.

The Survivors’ Secretariat, a non-profit survivor-led organization, has been investigating the Mohawk Institute in Brantford, Ont., Canada’s longest-running residential school, since 2021.

Arndt said despite accessing thousands of records through archives using access to information requests, privacy law restricts them from sharing those with families of survivors or lost children.

Employers in Britain hire 27 young non-EU migrants for each young Briton

Employers in Britain have hired 27 young non-EU migrants for every one young British worker since 2020, according to new analysis by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) that highlights a stark displacement effect in the youth labour market.

Using His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) payroll data, the think tank found that the number of non-EU nationals under 25 in employment surged from 81,500 in January 2020 to 370,900 by December 2025, a rise of 289,400 or over 355 per cent

John Ivison: Poilievre may prove shrewd to back America’s alliance as Carney embraces Europe

The United States has informed its European allies of its plan to significantly cut its military contribution to NATO, the German news outlet Spiegel reported on Tuesday.

The Europeans are scuttling to fill the gaps that will be left by departing American warships and fighter jets.

But the ripple effects may be felt far beyond Eastern Europe.

Trump refiles $10bn lawsuit against WSJ over report on alleged Epstein ties

Donald Trump has refiled a defamation lawsuit seeking at least $10bn in damages against the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, after a judge threw out an earlier version over legal deficiencies.

The lawsuit is one of several the US president has brought in his personal capacity against news organisations and is part of what critics say is a wider pressure campaign against the media.
