Any trade deal with Canada will include tariffs, says Trump’s trade rep

U.S. President Donald Trump’s point man on trade talks says Canada needs to accept that tariffs will be a part of any deal with the administration, including renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).

In interviews with two CBC News journalists on Capitol Hill just after Trump’s state of the union address Tuesday night, U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer suggested Canada can’t expect to land a trade agreement that is free of tariffs.

“When we go to other countries, and we make a deal with them … they agree that we can have a tariff on them,” Greer told CBC News correspondent Katie Simpson.

The report, released on Thursday by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, examines the safety and well-being of residents in long-term care homes. It found the rate of anti-psychotic medication use in long-term care homes was higher in Canada compared to several other countries, including the United States, Australia and Sweden.

Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women through British airports until just a month before his 2019 arrest as he took more than 60 flights including many to RAF bases

Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women through British airports until a month before his arrest in 2019, the Epstein files suggest.

Booking records, flight logs, as well as fuel receipts – a part of the trove of documents released by the Department of Justice – show the paedophile financier flew to and from Britain over 60 times.

And the disgraced financier, 66, booked commercial flights for women in and out of the UK just a month before his arrest in 2019.

‘Anti-racist’ dogma is getting people killed

Before he embarked on his murderous rampage through the streets of Nottingham in June 2023, Valdo Calocane could have been sectioned. But he wasn’t – because, an inquiry heard this week, he’s black.

In the words of Rachel Langdale KC, counsel to the inquiry, a doctor had at one point been “leaning towards” committing Calocane to a psychiatric hospital. But “the team of professionals” decided against it, after taking into account “research evidence” which shows “over-representation of young black males in detention”.

HUNTER: Woke sex trafficking silence omits culprits

It goes where Islam goes.

At present, Canada has a very difficult time being honest with itself

How the silence was manifested was spectacular.

Standing along the rows of terraced homes in ramshackle former British industrial towns was a small army of newly woke social workers and local politicians, hands on hips, glasses poised on the tip of their noses.

And there was no mistaking their politically correct message: “If you know what’s good for you and don’t want to be labelled a racist, you will NOT mention those nice Muslim men gang-raping working-class white girls.”

Rubio vows US would respond ‘appropriately’ to Cuba killing 4 people on a Florida speedboat

Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed the United States would get answers about a Cuba shootout that killed four people and injured six others aboard a speedboat from Florida.

He conceded that “it is highly unusual to see shootouts in the open sea like that. That’s not something that happens every day.”

Julia Malott: Hair salon ruling a threat to the idea of human rights

A quick test for whether our institutions have lost the plot: if a clumsy booking form becomes a human-rights case, something has gone wrong upstream.

That is what recently happened in Quebec. A Montreal hair salon’s online booking process required clients to select either “man” or “woman” to book an appointment. A customer, Alexe Frédéric Migneault, who identifies as non-binary, objected. The dispute ended up before Quebec’s Human Rights Tribunal, which ordered the salon to pay $500.00 dollars.
