Greenlanders should still worry about Trump’s designs on their island, Governor General says
Although U.S. President Donald Trump’s interest in taking over Greenland appears to have faded — at least publicly — Canada’s Governor General says concern remains that the fight over the semi-autonomous territory isn’t over yet.
“Even though the threat has kind of gone to the wayside … People are still very worried it could come back,” Gov. Gen. Mary Simon said in an interview airing Sunday morning on Rosemary Barton Live.
“It creates a lot of anxiety. It creates a lot of turmoil,” she added.
Where in her job description is “interfering where you shouldn’t” written?
Starmer, a weakling in thrall to the Muslims
THE WAR on Iran is not another ill-conceived Western intervention in the Middle East. It has been a long time coming. Unlike the false arguments made for the war in Iraq in 2003 and the ‘Arab Spring’ in 2011, Iran has been a continuous source of instability in the region. Without Iran there would be no Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon or Houthi action in Yemen. Settling the Sunni and Shia factions in Iraq after the Iraq war would have been much easier. And there would not have been the October 7 attacks on Israel.
The regime in Iran is plain old evil. The UK’s and Europe’s obsession with a negotiated settlement is madness. There can be no negotiation with an enemy that wishes to destroy you.
‘That’s Crazy’: Conservative MPs Confront Canada’s Refugee Chief Over Iranian Regime Suspect Shielded From Public View
OTTAWA — The head of Canada’s refugee tribunal told a parliamentary committee Monday that she does not know the name of a suspected senior Iranian regime official whose identity her own board concealed from the public in a deportation hearing — and that the concealment was granted at the man’s own request.
A Tale of Two Obituaries — and Two Very Different Standards
Death is supposed to clarify a life, not distort it.
Obituaries are meant to record history, not rewrite it.
But in today’s corporate media, even death cannot escape ideological spin.
Consider the recent coverage of Ayatollah Ali Khameini, Iran’s Supreme Leader for more than three decades.
What we’ve lost: Nationalism
Growing up in suburban Toronto, I occasionally had classmates who, being the children of immigrants, like myself, seemed spiritually homeless. They spent their summers in their parents’ countries, which were like gauzy pocket universes, while Canada remained a land of mud and chores, tolerated but not loved, pallid against the glow of a romanticized elsewhere.
Texas Dems Choose Candidate Who Called White People a “Virus”
The Texas Senate Democrat primary came down to a race between a black woman and a white man who both hate white people. And in a perfect embodiment of white privilege, the white man won. But woke white people are just better at hating white people than any black person could.
Still some are asking whether hating white people is really the best strategy for flipping Texas?
Today’s Western alliances require a potluck mentality. Canada can’t keep coming empty-handed
During the post-Cold War decades, Western alliances often functioned like formal parties. The United States played host, extending invitations on the basis of shared values and political affinity. Allies affirmed common principles and, more often than not, Washington carried the heaviest burdens.
That world is gone. Today’s coalitions look less like parties and more like potlucks. Every participant is expected to put something on the table – whether it’s just a bag of chips or a full dressed turkey. The message now is that you cannot arrive empty-handed and expect a seat.
Donald Trump warns Australia NOT to let Iran’s female soccer stars return home after players made SOS signals: ‘They’ll most likely be killed’
Donald Trump has urged Australia to avoid ‘a terrible humanitarian mistake’ by potentially allowing the Iranian women’s soccer team to return to their home country.
Trump’s comments come amid uncertainty over the players’ future after they were branded ‘traitors’ by Iranian media for refusing to sing the national anthem before a game against South Korea at the Asian Cup last week, which is being hosted in Australia.
Then, one of the Iranian players could be seen performing the international SOS distress signal from inside the team bus after a lost game on Sunday that ended their involvement in the tournament. According to reports, she tucked her thumb into her palm and folded her fingers down over it – the recognized sign that someone is pleading for help.

Why, prime minister, did Canada support an increasingly belligerent U.S. president in unleashing the dogs of war?
HALIFAX—Even the most partisan Conservative has to admit that Prime Minister Mark Carney has had a pretty solid first year as prime minister.
True, the official opposition has accused him of conflicts of interest flowing from his corporate connections before entering politics. And, yes, they have tried to paint him as a sneaky, rich guy.
Those scurrilous allegations didn’t take root. Instead, there was Carney’s record in office. Mega trade deals like the recent one with India, improved working relationships with the provinces, renewed international respect for this country, and a growing lead in the polls over his rival, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
Trump says Iran war ‘very complete’ after call with Putin
Donald Trump said the war in Iran was “very complete” after an hour-long phone call with Vladimir Putin.
The US president said his country’s joint operation with Israel had left Iran with “no navy, no communications … no air force”.
“I think the war is very complete, pretty much,” he told CBS News, adding that the US was “very far” ahead of schedule.

Poilievre says Canada should support replacing Iran’s regime, calls for crackdown on IRGC agents
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said Canada should support replacing Iran’s current government and called for the removal of individuals linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard from the country.
Speaking at a press conference Monday, Poilievre described Iran’s leadership as a “terrorist regime” and said Conservatives support efforts that would lead to a democratically elected government in the country.
Iran war, day ten: Everything you need to know
Pete Hegseth said US strikes on Iran are “only just the beginning”, as he promised to deliver Donald Trump’s demand for the regime’s unconditional surrender.
The US defence secretary said the US was “willing to go as far as we need to in order to be successful”, and refused to rule out putting boots on the ground inside the Islamic Republic.
Speaking to CBS News, he said: “This is war. This is conflict. This is bringing your enemy to their knees.”

Adam Pankratz: Hey Liberals, an oil pipeline would have been good right about now
The folly of Canada’s last decade of energy policy is a never-ending saga for which the costs to Canadians and Canadian industry seem only to rise. As the price of a barrel of oil and LNG skyrocket due to American and Israel military action in Iran and its fallout, Canada should be sitting on a massive opportunity to benefit from soaring prices. However, a decade of neglect and underinvestment in pipelines and egress capacity sees us looking wistfully on as other nations, such as the Untied States benefit while we toil away for little gain.
WTF?
