Michael Higgins: Mark Carney can’t decide whether removing Maduro was good or bad
The reaction to the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro roughly falls into two camps: those who celebrate the downfall of a corrupt narco-terrorist and those who condemn it as a suspected breach of international law.
Prime Minister Mark Carney chose a third option, a wishy-washy, bland statement that neither praised the detention on moral grounds nor criticized it on the basis it might be illegal.
Far-left, China-aligned groups organized pro-Nicolas Maduro protests in New York and other US states: ‘Unprecedented crime’
Pro-Nicolas Maduro protesters who turned up in Times Square and outside the Brooklyn federal lock-up where the former Venezuelan leader is being held were organized by hardcore left-wing group The People’s Forum, which has close ties to China.
The group — also behind anti-Israel demonstrations around the nation — called for “emergency protests nationwide” shortly after President Trump announced Saturday US forces had captured Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
On cue, fake astro-turfed pro-Maduro marches. Weird how these people are expressing ZERO emotion compared to the tears of joy from the anti-Maduro celebrations.

‘It’s not going to frighten me’: Doug Ford says Trump’s past annexation threats against Canada no more concerning after Venezuela takeover
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he is not worried about U.S. President Donald Trump’s previous threats about annexing Canada in light of U.S. military action in Venezuela that led to the capture of that country’s ousted president over the weekend.
“It’s not going to frighten me. It shouldn’t frighten anyone in Canada,” Ford told reporters Monday.
Trump announced on Saturday that the U.S. military had infiltrated Venezuela and apprehended ousted president Nicolás Maduro to stand trial in the U.S. Maduro entered a plea of not guilty to all charges during a court appearance in New York City on Monday on drug-trafficking charges.
US foes and allies denounce Trump’s ‘crime of aggression’ in Venezuela at UN meeting
The US has faced widespread condemnation for a “crime of aggression” in Venezuela at an emergency meeting of the United Nations security council.
Brazil, China, Colombia, Cuba, Eritrea, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and Spain were among countries that on Monday denounced Donald Trump’s decision to launch deadly strikes on Venezuela and snatch its leader, Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, to stand trial in the US.
“The bombings on Venezuelan territory and the capture of its president cross an unacceptable line,” Sérgio França Danese, the Brazilian ambassador to the UN, told the meeting. “These acts constitute a very serious affront to the sovereignty of Venezuela and set an extremely dangerous precedent for the entire international community.”
Even Ana Navarro of “The View” had to admit that President Trump did a good thing by removing Nicolas Maduro from power in Venezuela: “For us, this is a very, very happy day. … It brought me to tears. It brought me great joy.” pic.twitter.com/MTZMpysiu2

Canada’s got milk — they’re just dumping it
CALGARY — Supply management… a Canadian phenomenon.
This phenomenon is responsible for dumping 6.8 billion liters of raw milk since 2012 — with an estimated value of $14.9 billion, which could have been enough milk for 4.2 million people.
This is according to a 2025 study by multiple researchers, including the Food Professor, or Dr.Sylvain Charlebois, who runs an agri-food analytics lab at Dalhousie University.
Don’t expect a big gush of Venezuelan oil onto world markets any time soon
When it comes to the country with the world’s largest oil reserves, U.S. President Donald Trump didn’t mince words on why U.S. commandos seized Venezuela’s president. “They stole our oil,” Mr. Trump said.
Put aside for a moment clear violations of international law from U.S. actions and the fact “our” oil somehow ended up under Venezuela’s soil.
A picture Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social of deposed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro handcuffed and blindfolded in a tracksuit aboard a U.S. navy ship conjures images of other oil-rich autocrats deposed by Washington and its proxies: Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi. Neither of those interventions ended well.

So many critics cite “international law” while ignoring the sheer delight of the Venezuelan people at Maduro’s removal.
No, Illegal Immigration Won’t Fix America’s Fertility Crisis
Americans do not need illegal immigrants to raise our children.
Atlantic writer Olga Khazan disagrees. She is angry at President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration because it is disrupting the easily exploited servant class that provides cheap childcare. As she explains, “Millions of parents in the United States … rely on immigrants to take care of their kids. … Immigrants make up at least 21 percent of the child-care workforce — and this may be an undercount.”
Trump is forcing us to confront the world as it really is. That’s a good thing
The ignominious capture of Nicolás Maduro proves, if nothing else, that America no longer bothers with pretences.
It wasn’t always so. Back in the autumn of 2002, the US military machine was gearing up to invade Iraq and destroy Saddam Hussein’s regime.
Yet instead of sending his forces into action as rapidly as possible, George W Bush chose to place the case for war before the United Nations General Assembly, promising on Sept 12 2002 to “work with the UN Security Council for the necessary resolutions”.
Robert Brym: Avi Lewis and Independent Jewish Voices are gaslighting Canadians about antisemitism
Is antisemitism a trivial problem in Canada? Are the protests that many Jews decry as antisemitic really just anti-Zionist? Are nearly half of Canada’s Jews non-Zionists? According to Avi Lewis, who’s running for the leadership of the NDP, and Corey Balsam, national co-ordinator of Independent Jewish Voices, an anti-Zionist group, the answer to all these questions is “yes.” They are wrong.
Police drew up false evidence after decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans
Police produced false evidence to retrospectively justify banning Israeli fans from an away fixture in Britain after the move was agreed. The force drew up the “intelligence” after the local council privately said it had been “challenged” over the decision and needed a clearer “rationale”.
West Midlands police and Birmingham city council had already agreed to operate “on the assumption” of “no away fans” when Maccabi Tel Aviv played Aston Villa in November.
Sensational New Findings: Higher Warming Trend at Start of 20th Century Casts Serious Doubt on Role of Human-Caused CO2
Recently published remarkable research analysing over 42 million global temperature recordings from nearly 1,000 stations has cast serious doubt on the claimed link between carbon dioxide emissions and rising temperatures. The huge statistical work collected data from before 1900 to 2024 and found an overall annual warming trend of 0.0054°C after adjusting for growing unnatural urban heat effects. What is truly revealing about this important analysis is that it shows an obvious disconnect between the rise in anthropogenic CO2 and the sharpest warming occurring in the early 20th century, when industrialisation was confined to relatively few countries.
The Conservative and Liberal responses to Venezuela reflect vastly different foreign-policy outlooks
The Liberals and Conservatives offered completely different responses to the Trump administration’s abduction of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro.
Those responses reflect the worldview of each party. For Conservatives, foreign policy is rooted in values; for Liberals, in interests.
On Saturday morning, not long after word arrived that American special forces had captured and abducted Mr. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre issued a statement on X. “Congratulations to President Trump on successfully arresting narcoterrorist and socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, who should live out his days in prison.”
