Bessent pans Carney, cheers on Albertan separatism amid growing US-Canada rift

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent needled Canada over the prospect of an independence referendum in Alberta this week, as President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney are locked in a clash over Ottawa’s role in the hemisphere.

“Alberta is a natural partner for the U.S.,” he told conservative podcaster Jack Posobiec in an interview Thursday. “They have great resources. The Albertans are very independent people. Rumor that they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not.”

The Fred Phelps Left Invades the Churches

A Pew poll released about a year ago noted that just 37 percent of American liberals identify as Christians, versus 82 percent of conservatives and 61 percent of independents.

In 2007, 62 percent of liberals identified as Christian, so the drop, particularly vis-à-vis drops in Christian identification for conservatives and independents, looks Cyclone steep.

Braid: Carney sounds like a leader heading for an election. Would he dare?

Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a great campaign speech Thursday.

The only thing missing was the election.

Might a snap federal vote be coming? Probably not, but it must be tempting for the Liberals.

One symptom is obvious. They’re already road-testing their campaign pitch.

Terror Supporters Are Influencing Students at the University of Washington

One of the most persistent myths since October 7, 2023, is that college students organically gravitated toward militant pro-Palestinian activism. On those campuses that saw the most aggressive demonstrations, in fact, radical elements may have seeded the ground for disruptive protests.

Ontario homelessness rates surge amid stagnant income assistance rates: report

More than 30,000 people using Ontario income assistance programs are finding themselves homeless anyway – a number that has dramatically increased since before the pandemic, according to a new report from a Toronto-based human rights organization.

And those surging homelessness rates are linked to stagnant income assistance as even the cheapest apartments tend to cost more than the entire monthly cheques from one major program, researchers from Maytree found.

‘If the Bad Guys Start Shooting, It Comes Over Greenland’ vs. Europe’s Strategic Myopia

For decades, the world treated Greenland as a sentimental footnote in Arctic mythology rather than a linchpin in global security and modern technology. This was strategic negligence with real consequences.

By contrast, President Donald J. Trump saw what Europe could not, or perhaps would not: that Greenland is not a quaint curiosity; in the 21st century, it is an essential security asset and industrial necessity for the West. “Everything comes over Greenland. If the bad guys start shooting, it comes over Greenland,” he said.

From the Arctic flight path of Russian and Chinese intercontinental ballistic missiles to the Arctic shipping lanes increasingly packed with Russian warships, Greenland’s importance has surged.

Accused of murdering of her would-be son, Becky Hamber admits telling boy he ‘subtracts value from everyone’s lives’

Last week, Becky Hamber told her murder trial that text messages were the only times she and her wife spoke about the two brothers they were seeking to adopt in such offensive terms as “idiot,” “dumbass,” and “it” — but that she never spoke that way to the boys’ faces.

On Thursday, she conceded that this wasn’t always the case.

Trump Says U.S. ‘Armada’ Is Bearing Down on Iran

President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday that an “armada” of American warships is heading for Iran and implied that military force could be on the table if the regime in Tehran continues murdering its own people to stay in power.

Trump says Canada is against Golden Dome in Greenland

“Canada is against The Golden Dome being built over Greenland, even though The Golden Dome would protect Canada. Instead, they voted in favor of doing business with China, who will ‘eat them up’ within the first year!” the U.S. president wrote on Truth Social.

Carney travelled to Beijing last week to reignite economic ties with China – Canada’s second largest trading partner after the U.S. He left with a deal reducing tariffs on some Canadian agricultural goods and a quota allowing Chinese EVs to enter the domestic market.

Migrants housed in army base will have own on-site GP

Migrants being housed at a military training camp in East Sussex will have their own on-site GP as part of efforts to minimise their impact on local services.

Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, announced that the first 27 migrants were moved to the former barracks at Crowborough late on Wednesday night. The site will eventually accommodate 540 male asylum seekers who arrived in the UK on small boats.

Do you stand by the people of Crowborough East Sussex and their disapproval of asylum seekers being housed in their Army Barracks

DEPORT THEM ALL!!!

Ford says he is offering Diageo ‘olive branch’ on Crown Royal LCBO boycott

For the second time in as many days, Ontario Premier Doug Ford suggested he was willing to back down from his threat to remove Crown Royal from the LCBO, but only if his government can extract concessions from the international alcohol maker that produces the Canadian whisky.

Could Trump’s new Board of Peace sideline the struggling UN?

“Together we are in a position to… end decades of suffering, stop generations of hatred and bloodshed, and forge a beautiful, everlasting and glorious peace for that region and for the whole region of the world.”

Such was the soaring promise of US President Donald Trump as he inaugurated his new Board of Peace on the stage of stages that is the Davos Economic Forum this week.

The world of all too much suffering and strife badly wants to believe him.

That’s one reason, well the only reason to root for the BOP. But the UN is filled with TDS suffering kleptocrat nations and they are determined to remain at the trough.

WARMINGTON: Trump’s vile lie that NATO troops stayed behind front in Afghanistan pure fiction

There is an unchangeable “truth” that goes with a Canadian flag draped over a Canadian soldier’s casket and hundreds of patriots standing on a bridge saluting that can’t be erased no matter how powerful the person doing the erasing may be.

Trump was definitely out of line, Canada’s troops were exemplary.

Met Police bans ‘Walk With Jesus’ march to avoid provoking local Muslim community

Scotland Yard has stopped a Ukip march from going ahead in east London over fears of provoking the local Muslim community.

The demonstration, titled “Walk With Jesus”, was scheduled for January 31 in Whitechapel – long home to one of Britain’s largest Islamic populations.

Metropolitan Police officials said permitting the event in that location would be “reckless” given the potential for violence.

Pierre Poilievre: Carney’s Davos speech highlights that it is Liberal rhetoric that doesn’t match reality

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s well-crafted and eloquently delivered speech at Davos has been widely noted, and I want to start by offering some praise of my own. The Prime Minister is right to restate what many have said for years: Canada must become more self-reliant, less dependent and work with like-minded countries to advance our interests. Conservatives are, as always, willing to work with him to turn these words into results.

Carney’s speech was about lifting the spirits of his globalist pals by assuring them that aligning with foreign despots & screwing over your fellow citizens for personal profit is a Good Thing.
