OTTAWA — The future of Canada-U.S. trade talks depends on how Canada’s review of its decision to buy U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets turns out, says President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada.
Pete Hoekstra told a conference hosted by the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters on Wednesday that it will not be easy to restart the now-stalled trade talks, and urged Canada to “harmonize” as much as possible with the U.S. on a range of economic and military co-operation issues.
Mark Carney stands up in front of NATO and vows that Canada will finally hit the magic 2% defence target, even accelerate the timeline, and then keep going toward the new 5% “defence and security” goal. On paper, that sounds bold and committed.
But then you see the trick. Instead of building a serious fighting force, the plan leans on relabeling existing agencies under armed forces control.
During Thanksgiving week, some 73 million people will take to the roads for the busiest travel season of the year (heaviest travel Tuesday-Monday according to AAA) and drivers will share the highways with an untold number of illegal aliens operating semi-tractor trailers.
‘WE WUN’T be druv’, or ‘we won’t told what to do’, is the unofficial motto of the county of Sussex and encapsulates perfectly the mounting defiance of the East Sussex town of Crowborough. The town is engaged in a battle to prevent 600 male asylum seekers (the equivalent of two battalions) being placed in an army training camp next to the town. Until now the camp has been in constant use by air and army cadets.

‘Mindblowing’ population of feral goldfish in Ottawa pond to be euthanized
The City of Ottawa is preparing to euthanize a school of invasive goldfish living in a stormwater pond in the Central Park neighbourhood, though the size of the population remains in question.
In March, city staff removed about 5,000 dead goldfish “using nets in the water and by hand” from the pond in Celebration Park, according to a written statement.
The city now says it has found a new population of goldfish in the same pond. Based on “a rough visual assessment,” the surviving school is believed to number somewhere between 500 and 1,000, the city said.
Daughter of an illegal alien criminal and terrorist supporter runs for office in New York.
Aber Kawas claims that her activism began when her illegal alien father was deported after being arrested for a crime in New Jersey. Now she’s Zohran Mamdani’s first endorsement.
Kawas had described Fahad Hashmi, convicted of providing material support to Al Qaeda, a synagogue bomber and the Hamas fundraisers known as the ‘Holy Land 5” as “imprisoned heroes” and “living martyrs”. (Mamdani had previously also expressed his support for the jailed Hamas fundraisers.) She expressed support for Ahmed Ferhani, who plotted to throw grenades into a synagogue, calling him “my brother, whose case I’ve followed and whose family I know.”
Western nations have admitted a great many evil Muslims.
Western media have become apologists for violent Islamists.
Earlier this month, US president Donald Trump condemned Nigeria over the violent persecution of its Christian minority by Islamist groups like Boko Haram, Fulani militants and other violent actors. Trump called Nigeria a ‘country of particular concern’, and he is not alone. This weekend, Pope Leo XIV picked out Nigeria as a nation in which Christians are being persecuted.
At least since the Obama presidency the US State Dept. held to the position that the conflict was a land dispute between the Fulani tribesman (Muslims) and the Christian Igbo tribe.
A group of Alaska tribal nations is going to the B.C. Supreme Court to demand a seat at the table in Canadian resource development – including a mine expansion that is among the nation-building projects Ottawa has selected as pivotal to economic development.
The Alaska groups argue that their historical use of what is now northwestern B.C. makes them Aboriginal peoples of Canada under the Constitution Act, saying that status should guarantee them the same rights to consultation as Canadian Indigenous groups.
NB: It’s not the first time US Tribes have demanded a say, The Columbia River Treaty now involves Tribes from both the US and Canada.
“The United States’ Columbia River Treaty with Canada governs hydropower and flood control on the 1,200-mile Columbia River. The current treaty, implemented in 1964, does not consider the needs of fish, a healthy river, or the treaty fishing rights and cultural resources that are now fully protected under modern laws.”
Intertribal Cooperation – Thirty-two tribes (fifteen in the US and seventeen in Canada) have come together to assist in the treaty review and participate in creating the next treaty that will incorporate ecosystem requirements.
A Jordanian migrant today denied sexually assaulting a girl and three women on the London Underground and was granted bail ahead of his trial in over a year’s time.
Hamza Alotaibi allegedly assaulted the victims within the space of a month – and is first accused of groping a woman at Paddington station on January 27.
The 27-year-old is said to have sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl on the District Line between St James’s Park and Acton Town stations two days later.
In the name of objectivity and pluralism, religious education must introduce the beliefs of Islam and other religions as well, the Court says.
The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Christian-focused model of religious education (RE) in Northern Ireland’s schools is unlawful, concluding that the current system fails to meet the requirement that teaching be “objective, critical and pluralistic.” The judgment follows a legal challenge brought by an unnamed father and his daughter, who attended a state-controlled primary school in Belfast. The girl had received Christian religious education and participated in Christian worship, but her non-religious parents objected to her being taught about Christian faith, despite having an option to withdraw their child at any time from RE.
Ottawa has stopped lending out pieces from its multi-million dollar Indigenous Art Collection after auditors found more than 100 works had gone missing — and after the department admitted police were never called to track down the loss.
Blacklock’s Reporter says Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Rebecca Alty told the Commons committee on indigenous and northern affairs that the long-standing practice of sending artworks to federal offices has been shut down.
New parents quickly develop a keen understanding of the gains to be had from anything that helps avoid waking the baby. Peace and quiet for one thing. A period of calm. A moment to think.
In Canada’s case, the baby is the current U.S. president. The president, as we know from repeat experience, is easily upset. When the president gets upset, he gets cranky, makes a lot of noise and causes untold disturbances. If you can, you want to avoid getting him upset.
There’s no doubt Jeffrey Epstein thought he was a very, very smart guy. “He always thought he was the smartest person in the room,” said one associate. Another said Epstein “thought he was smarter than the next guy.” When in 2008 Epstein pleaded guilty to procurement of a minor for prostitution, his defense asked for leniency based on his “unique intellect.”
Usama Ali is an alleged Hamas operative, leader and financier.
He is also Canadian.
And so are others in the Palestinian terrorist group that killed 1,200 and took more than 200 hostages on Oct. 7, 2023, Global News has learned.
About 450 people with assorted roles in Hamas have ties to Canada, according to a source familiar with the intelligence on the matter.
