Does an ambassador need to be diplomatic?
The U.S. envoy to Canada doesn’t seem to think so.
Pete Hoekstra, a former Republican Representative from Michigan appointed by President Trump to the important diplomatic post, is gaining notoriety in Canada for speaking bluntly about the poor state of relations between the two nations.
On November 17, Japan’s Ministry of Defense notified the Iwakuni city government that the Pentagon had withdrawn its Typhon missile battery from the U.S. Marine Corps air station there.
The battery had been deployed in September for the Japan-U.S. “Resolute Dragon 2025” exercise. This was the first time that the U.S. had installed a mid-range missile in Japan.
China had bitterly complained about the deployment, claiming that the missile system “seriously threatens regional security.”
He makes a very valid point…
One question I have for those in the intelligence community, those in government, that say they have risked life and limb to bring us their claims around UFOs and internal government knowledge on the issue is this:
The UFO issue is supposed to be one of the most classified… pic.twitter.com/4CWa5ffZpl

Potash is a key component in agricultural fertilizer, and demand is on the rise worldwide. Farms in places such as China, India and Japan are consuming ever larger quantities.
Canada is the largest potash producer in the world (about one-third of the total). Our annual potash exports are valued at around $9 billion to $11 billion and are expected to grow for the next couple of decades.
On Sunday, November 2nd, President Donald Trump said that he was considering sending U.S. troops to Nigeria, to help stop the killing of Christians at the hands of Muslim terror groups, claiming that these murders were being sanctioned by the Nigerian government. One day prior, the Administration placed Nigeria back on a list of “Countries of Particular Concern”, those that we believe have violated religious freedoms.
This past Thursday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing on the killings and the major networks couldn’t be bothered to cover it on their nightly newscasts. Fox News’s Special Report with Bret Baier did cover the hearing.
In his new book, a former national security analyst and federal policy advisor outlines the Chinese regime’s decades-long effort to infiltrate and influence Canada, including tactics ranging from cultivating aspiring political leaders to espionage, theft, and harassment.
Released on Nov. 18, “Under Assault: Interference and Espionage in China’s Secret War Against Canada” details how the People’s Republic of China (PRC), under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has for decades targeted Canada for influence and interference with the ultimate goal of spying on and pressuring its rival, the United States.
WASHINGTON — New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani doubled down Sunday on his claim that President Trump is a “fascist” and “despot” — but says he can still work with him.
“That’s something that I’ve said in the past. I say it today,” Mamdani told NBC’s “Meet the Press” when asked whether he still views Trump as a fascist.
There’s no shortage of beef in southern Alberta, but food banks around Lethbridge are looking for help covering the costs of turning donated cattle into meat they can dish out to clients.
Counties across the province this week endorsed a call for the Alberta government to restart a short-lived pilot program from 2014 that covered the associated costs of butchering, inspecting and packaging thousands of packs of hamburger given to food bank clients.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sent out a fundraising email in mid-November asking supporters to chip in “$5 or anything you can” to spread holiday joy across New York City ahead of Thanksgiving, calling on donors to help pay for turkeys for needy families.
canada’s air force has a large pilot recruiting shortfall. But don’t sorry—this new @RCAF_ARC outreach video will solve that:

JOHANNESBURG – Prime Minister Mark Carney is in no hurry to resume trade talks with U.S. President Donald Trump but will speak again with the president “when it’s appropriate,” Carney said on Sunday.
Carney said he expects to speak with Trump sometime in the next two weeks but otherwise stands ready for when the Americans next knock on Canada’s door to return to the table.
“I look forward to speaking with the president soon, but I don’t have a burning issue to speak with the president about right now,” Carney said.
For generations of women, the logic has seemed airtight: Focus on a career in your 20s, and worry about starting a family once you are established in a job.
This mindset has catapulted women into higher-earning positions, and into traditionally male-dominated fields. The share of women in their prime working years who are in the workforce is around a record high. And women are having babies later, if they have them at all. The answer to fertility constraints, they’re told, is egg freezing.
Isabel Brown, 28, didn’t want to wait. She married last year and had a baby this year. She’s now building her career as a conservative activist, hosting a podcast for conservative media company the Daily Wire and speaking on college campuses as a representative for Turning Point, the youth organization Charlie Kirk co-founded.
OTTAWA—There were cheers. But also some winces.
When Canadian Labour Congress president Bea Bruske asked NDP leadership hopeful Avi Lewis to describe the future of the labour movement in one word during an October forum, he shook his head and raised his hand in protest.
“Can’t do it,” he countered. “It’s two. General. Strike.”
May I suggest MAID?
A Christian street preacher arrested for saying ‘God bless you’ to protesters at a Palestinian demonstration claims that police are trying to gag his freedom of speech after arresting him 16 times.
Shaun O’Sullivan says he plans to sue Wiltshire Police after being cleared of racial harassment following a six-day trial in Crown Court, at an estimated cost of £20,000 at the taxpayer’s expense.
Mr O’Sullivan, 36, preaches at Swindon’s evangelical ‘Awaken’ church and on the streets to homeless and addicts on the fringe of society, as he once was.
A self-proclaimed Muslim ‘influencer’ who commended Hamas in the wake of the October 7 terror attack claims the Australian government is the ‘oppressor’ after his visa was torn up.
Canadian-Palestinian Ousama Alshurafa was at the airport ready to board a flight to Australia, where he was due to commence a speaking tour of capital cities on Friday, when he found out he could not board the plane.
Alshurafa told his more than 3million social media followers he was stopped by security at an airport in Canada and told Australian officials had cancelled his visa.
Deport.
