‘It’s just insane.’ New Trump tariff confusion sparks border mayhem for Canadian businesses

It’s another day of chaos thanks to Donald Trump’s trade war.

Confusion and frustration reigned for Canadian businesses Tuesday as the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol started charging a new global tariff on imports Tuesday at 10 per cent, rather than the

15 per cent threatened by the U.S. president on Saturday.

That bump to 15 per cent, in turn, came just a day after an angry Trump lashed out at a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against some of his other tariffs, and vowed a new global tariff — at 10 per cent.

This Group Thinks the Answer to Anti-Semitism Is More DEI

During the Super Bowl, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft took heat on two fronts: one, for owning the team that lost, and two, for airing an ad that quietly infuriated a large portion of the Jewish community. The commercial depicted a scrawny Jewish teen being bullied at school and finding a “Dirty Jew” sticker on his knapsack, before a tall, black classmate steps in to save him.

The backlash from Jews was sharp and immediate. We don’t need to be cast as victims waiting for a savior, many critics offered. We need to project strength.


He speaks too kindly of the ADL. There has been no change in their efforts.

Good news: Canada will slash millions in spending on immigrants

The federal government is going to slash its immigrant settlement funding by $98.1 million this year, including a 17.3 per cent reduction for organizations that support newcomers in Ontario, the Star has learned.

The across-the-board funding reductions outside Quebec are expected to affect all services, including employment counselling, information and orientation, translation help for appointments and other supports to assist newcomer integration. Newcomer women and caregivers, survivors of trauma, people with disabilities and others who are likely to delay language and other programs are feared to be disproportionately affected, though refugee services won’t be affected by the cuts.


We should be demanding a higher standard of resourcefulness from those accepted into Canada or better yet close the border.

China has been maintaining at least two facilities — one in California and the other in Nevada — that are part of a biological weapons program.

A Declaration of Arrest Report, issued by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in connection with the detention of Ori Solomon on January 31, states that there is a “deeper conspiracy” between an illegal biological lab in Reedley, California and a residence containing apparently dangerous substances in Nevada.

Pre-construction condo buyers face steep losses as Toronto prices slide

Homebuyers who gambled that buying a home before it was built could get them an early foothold in an expensive market are discovering what happens when values drop.

A growing number of Canadians — especially in condominium markets such as Toronto’s — are learning the hard way that when property values fall, developers and lenders aren’t willing to absorb the loss without a fight.

The End of Artificial Employment

The real scandal of our time is not that artificial intelligence is replacing human labor. The scandal is that so much of that labor was misallocated to begin with. AI is not the killer—it is the coroner.

For decades, vast portions of the workforce have been diverted away from productive enterprise into roles sustained not by consumer demand, but by the state: artificial credit, regulatory protection, state contracts, and legal coercion. Entire departments and job functions endured not because they created value, but because they were politically entrenched and institutionally shielded from market forces.


Hmmm … More than 1 in 5 Canadians now works for government—and the share is rising

Poilievre Labels $750K Fine for Former BC Trustee’s Gender Ideology Comments ‘Insane’

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling a recent ruling by a B.C. tribunal “insane and Orwellian” after a former school board trustee was ordered to pay $750,000 for speaking out against sexual orientation and gender identity curriculum.

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ordered former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld to pay $750,000 to the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association after ruling last week that he had violated the Human Rights Code by publishing content that it deemed “discriminatory” and exposed LGBT people “to hatred or contempt.”

John Ivison: Trump’s tariffs on Canada are about to get worse

The 6-3 majority U.S. Supreme Court decision on the unlawful nature of President Donald Trump’s emergency act tariffs suggests democracy is still alive in the Great Republic.

Friday’s decision reaffirmed the basic constitutional principle about the separation of powers between Congress and the president, clarifying that Trump has no authority on his own to impose tariffs using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) because the Constitution gives that power to Congress.

The ruling drops the average “posted” tariff rate to around seven per cent from 16 per cent.

As Carney heads to India, Canada seeks to revoke citizenship of 2008 Mumbai attack ‘mastermind’

The Canadian government is pushing to revoke the citizenship of a Pakistan-born businessman accused of playing a key role in the 2008 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India that left 166 dead.

Documents obtained by Global News show that immigration officials have notified Tahawwur Rana Hussain that they intend to strip him of the Canadian citizenship he acquired in 2001.

The 65-year-old immigrated to Canada in 1997, and was later convicted in the United States of plotting to attack staff at a Danish newspaper that printed cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Mohamed.
