“… Yes, Trump frankly scares me. American hegemony scares me. But so does colonial nationalism — a solution a striking number of Canadians have taken up in response to U.S. aggressions. I can’t recall a time in my life where I have seen such a widespread attempt at elevating Canadian nationalism into policy and public life as we are seeing right now.”
Americans could face shortages of toilet roll and panic buying in supermarkets not seen since the first, nervy days of the pandemic, according to soft but strong warnings from timber and pulp experts.
President Trump’s planned tariffs on Canadian imports, including 27 per cent levies on lumber, would raise the price of a type of wood pulp that is a key ingredient in American toilet paper.
U.S. authorities have arrested a 67-year-old man from Surrey, B.C., accusing him of smuggling banned goods to Pakistan’s military and its nuclear weapons program over more than 15 years.
The U.S. Department of Justice says in a Friday news release that Mohammad Jawaid Aziz was arrested trying to cross into the United States from British Columbia on March 21.
Western Canadian agricultural producers of canola, peas and oil cake are facing crippling retaliatory tariffs from China, because Canada imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs, in line with the USA, to protect our ‘homegrown’ non-existent EV industry.
Fact: Canola contributes $43 billion to the Canadian economy, slightly less than the subsidies thrown at EV battery plants, the manufacturers of which are bankrupt or teetering.
For our readers who don’t live in the People’s Republic of Canuckistan, here’s a quick guide to what’s happening in the general election, set for April 28th.
On the left in the photos below — but not so hard left as his loony colleagues Steven Guilbeault and Chrystia Freeland — is Mark Carney, leader of the Gliberal Party of Canada.Unlike the other two, Mr Carnage has never been elected to anything. But was Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He is a banker, and a member of the WEF liberal elite.
Oh, Canada! With glowing hearts, we see thee rise in the news!
Trump wants to take over the Great White North. They impose high tariffs on our goods, and what do we get in return? The Liberal government refuses to control the nation’s borders, and crime is rampant all over Canada, as bad as we have seen in some of the United States’ major cities. Make them America, and we solve all our problems, right?
The “Buy Canadian” movement is sending new ripples of concern through the executive offices of U.S.-based consumer companies that banked on selling their products on Canadian retail shelves.
California-based diaper maker Parasol Co had been working since January with a distributor to expand the sale of its diapers and baby wipes to new retailers in Canada, including convenience stores, CEO Jessica Hung said.
Even for a presidency that has waged pitched trade battles from its earliest hours, the next few days promise to be like no other.
It is tariff week in the United States, a pivotal moment in Donald Trump’s ambition to bend global trade to American advantage. On April 2, Mr. Trump’s vaunted “Liberation Day,” the White House plans to release a raft of what it terms reciprocal tariffs.
Over the past few weeks, the Dairy Farmers of Canada, with the full backing of the Bloc Quebecois, has launched a well-coordinated charm offensive to extol the virtues of supply management. According to its proponents, this system is the best tool to safeguard Canada’s food sovereignty.
We only made it half a week into the election before President Trump’s trade war made headlines. This time, it was 25 percent tariffs on imports of autos and auto parts for “national security” reasons, which will take effect on Wednesday.
Next week, we’ll also see whether potential “reciprocal” tariffs will also be applied to Canada and others, and if broad tariffs will expire. We’re also expecting a U.S. government study on “unfair trade” that Trump ordered in a day-one executive order.
Understandably, Canadians are rattled, confused and angered by President Donald Trump’s tariffs and calls for Canada to become America’s 51 state. The potential loss of sovereignty and severe effects on the Canadian economy are of no small consequence. Fighting back, Canadians are searching for answers and rediscovering patriotism now that the United States, under President Trump’s leadership, is ….?
Well, no one seems to know much about Donald Trump’s plan.
Canada’s fat cats, the Carney style globalists, the Laurentian elites, the China class are threatened, and we’re just numbers, mere collateral damage in their schemes.
I trust Trump more than the cabal that has subjected Canada to a decade of misrule and is now trying to con us into accepting an ersatz patriot as PM.
Germany’s once-firm stance against Russian gas imports is beginning to unravel as the country considers restarting the sabotaged Nord Stream pipelines.
Not because it wants to.
A dark hand is behind the import of incompatible cultures. Our biggest threat comes from within not from Trump. God forbid Carney's advisor Wiseman has his way. I did my time in the streets protesting Islam's incursion. It was all for naught.

Former U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton is cautioning not to read too much into the more positive tone struck by U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney following Friday’s phone call between the two, but said if the commander-in-chief is a fan of the Liberal leader, a smoother bilateral relationship could be possible.
“I don’t think you should over-conclude on the basis of one telephone call, but both sides tried to give a positive reading to it,” Bolton said in an interview on CTV Power Play with Vassy Kapelos, when asked how much Canadians should read into Trump’s apparent change in tone.
Mark Carney would like nothing better than to make this election all about Trump. That way we don’t get to question his policies or his record. He skates in on a public relations campaign that claims his experience would allow him to “handle Donald Trump!” Good luck, Mark. You would be first.
