Trump’s China Tariffs: Extraordinarily Good for America

“I can’t believe how many people are negative on tariffs that are actually smart people,” President Donald Trump told Bloomberg in a June 25 interview. “Economically, they’re phenomenal.”

Since then, a lot of smart people have rushed to the American media to say that, on the contrary, high tariffs are horrible.

Trump is right. Although these levies would increase costs to American consumers, the costs would not be nearly as great as experts say. Moreover, there are other considerations, both economic and national security, favoring raising tariffs now.

Siavash Shekarian: Canada’s immigration system seems to be in peril

It’s no secret that Canada’s immigration system is broken. From selection to integration, every aspect seems to be in peril. Yet, while headlines abound about Canada’s population trap, productivity emergency, housing crisis, and the mass exodus of talent leaving our country, discussions about the root causes and solutions remain notably scarce.

Canada’s immigration policy is anti-Canadian.

North African crime rate explodes in Germany, rape up 169% and murder up 110% in 4 years

The crime rate of North Africans is soaring higher in Germany, with Moroccans and Tunisians now responsible for one murder every six days on average. However, other serious crimes, including assault, stabbings, and rape, are exploding as well, with the German left-liberal government overseeing an incredible increase in crime while refusing to deport offenders.

Chris Selley: I’d assumed Toronto had reached maximum cringe. I was wrong

After 15-or-so years observing and covering Toronto municipal politics — only a few of those years, thankfully, being full-time — I thought I had come to terms with the untethered heights and depths of maddening, petty irrelevancy to which city council can rise and plummet. I thought I had cringed as hard as I could cringe, raged as hard as I could rage, about and against the legions of parochial zeroes, elected and otherwise, who want to hold this hard-striving city hostage to their various whims and preferences.

Can Kamala’s knitting-obsessed, topless-modelling stepdaughter help her to the presidency?

Kamala’s niece – I ‘m nicknaming her “Huntress”

When Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter described what her parents thought of her tattoos and quirky hair, she said: “I think they’re all in the realm of, like: ‘I don’t understand it, but I want you to be who you want to be.’”

Now, as Ms Harris makes a run for the White House, Ella Emhoff’s eccentric style and legion of online fans could prove an asset for her presidential campaign.

A far cry from her strait-laced former prosecutor stepmother, Ms Emhoff, 25, has modelled topless at New York Fashion Week, doesn’t shave her armpits and runs a $60-a-pop knitting club.

Fraser Institute: Canada’s living standards are falling behind the rest of the developed world

This month, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland proclaimed that “Canada is the best country in the world.” But it’s a hard statement to square with the evidence. Canadians are getting poorer relative to their peers in many other countries and our living standards are falling. This trend is expected to continue well into the future, unless our policymakers make significant changes.

‘Fat guys’ and prostitutes: How the real Secret Service is nothing like Hollywood

In the popular 2013 movie Olympus Has Fallen, a murderously efficient Secret Service agent played by Gerard Butler single-handedly defeats a North Korean assault team which has captured the White House and taken the president hostage.

That was by no means the sole offering in the genre that year. White House Down, starring Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, followed a similar theme.

Going further back, Michael Douglas and Keifer Sutherland slugged it out in the 2006 caper Sentinel, while the 1993 movie In the Line of Fire had an ageing Clint Eastwood playing a haggard but determined agent on the presidential security detail.

Who’s next? The contenders to replace a troubled Justin Trudeau

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has repeatedly said he has no plans to resign, insisting he will lead the Liberal Party of Canada into the next election, currently set for October 2025.

But after months of dismal polls, the pressure on him is mounting after his party failed to keep a formerly safe Liberal Toronto riding in a June byelection, signalling growing unpopularity with this government among Canadians. The loss prompted calls for Trudeau to step down from former Liberal ministers, former British Columbia premier Christy Clark, and current MPs within his own caucus.
