Canada’s New Reality: What can we learn from Canada’s pivot away from the U.S.?

I’m still processing how the world changed last week. President Trump’s wild threats against Greenland — and by extension against America’s NATO allies — crystallized for many leaders what they already believed but perhaps were too scared to say out loud: The rules-based international order is no more.

The man who said it out loud, Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, became something of a hero in Davos. Today, I’m writing about what Canada’s efforts to pivot away from an increasingly volatile America can teach other countries.

Pro-Caliphate Group in Canada Holds Annual Conference Under the Radar

The Canadian branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a global Islamist group, recently convened its annual conference, promoting a political project that sought the destruction of Western democracies and their replacement with a transnational Islamic caliphate. Themed “Khilafah Is Imminent: What Have You Prepared For It?,” the January 17, 2026, event was conducted online in a likely attempt to minimize scrutiny.

China Is Embedded in Canada’s Arctic

“Russia is without question a threat in the Arctic,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this month at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “Without question, Russia does lots of horrible things.”

Russia, despite all the horrible things it does, is not able to challenge Canada without its partner. Carney was quick to name China as the biggest security threat to his country during a federal election debate last April. At Davos, however, he was not willing to talk about China posing a danger to his country.

Moreover, his foreign affairs minister was similarly reluctant. Anita Anand in Davos did not name names when reporters asked her to cite the top threat facing Canada.

Canada’s population could surpass 57 million by 2075, StatCan projects

Statistics Canada has released new population projections that paint a picture of a rapidly changing Canada over the next half-century.

The latest projections, covering the period from 2025 to 2075, suggest Canada’s population – estimated at 41.7 million in mid-2025 – will continue to grow under all scenarios examined by the agency.

Under a medium-growth scenario, the total population could reach 57.4 million in 2075, while a high-growth pathway projects the population could climb as high as 75.8 million by the same year.

Carney’s Cardboard Belt

In his “rupture” speech delivered at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney lamented the (apparent) breakdown of the rules-based international order and praised a “new world order” to come. He repeated former Czech president Václav Havel’s admonition against “living in the lie.” The irony was obvious as he proceeded to articulate, as James Albers writes in the Western Standard, “an address saturated with contradictions, misdirection, and half-truths.” In effect, he transformed Havel’s anti-communist warning into what amounts to a pro-communist exhortation.

WAGNER: ‘The land of my birth has vanished’ — what the Liberals did to Canada

Hate them forever

Canada was once a great country. For its first hundred years or so, Canada was known for exceptional national projects — railways, pipelines, mining, etc. — and for punching above its weight in international conflicts.

But since the 1960s, it has changed. Liberal leaders decided to remake Canada into a different kind of country, one that prioritized leftist social engineering over the country’s historic identity and achievements.

The US drew up a plan to invade Canada in 1930. Now Trump is reviving old fears

First, American forces would strike with poison gas munitions, seizing a strategically valuable port city. Soldiers would sever undersea cables, destroy bridges and rail lines to paralyze infrastructure. Major cities on the shores of lakes and rivers would be captured in order to blunt any civilian resistance.

The multipronged invasion would rely on ground forces, amphibious landing and then mass internments. According to the architects of the plan, the attack would be short-lived and the besieged country would fall within days.

The target was Canada, part of a classified 1930 strategy – War Plan Red – for a hypothetical war with Great Britain where the US would seek to deny it any foothold in North America.

‘Nothing to do with it’: Doug Ford responds to criticism over Ontario manufacturer’s contract with ICE

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has “nothing to do with” a contract held by a Brampton-based defence manufacturer to supply U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with armoured vehicles.

Ford made the comment during a news conference on Tuesday morning after he was asked about criticism of the deal between Roshel and the U.S. government.

His response came after NDP Leader Marit Stiles released a statement “calling for an end” to Ontario manufacturing contracts with ICE in the wake of the shooting of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota this month.

Even poor students of history can see what’s happening to the U.S.

In 1935, American author Sinclair Lewis published It Can’t Happen Here, a dystopian novel about the rise of a populist demagogue named Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, who becomes the U.S. president after cultivating a cult following for his nationalism, anti-elitism, and quixotic promises. Windrip was fixated on restoring domestic production of material goods and hated the press.


This is a lazy, silly little screed pumped out by one of Canada’s leading purveyors of TDS – the Globe.

Trump is always Hitler while the well orchestrated violence of the left is brushed aside as “democracy”.

The left’s insane rejoicing over Charlie Kirk’s murder, the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and the Liberal-Left’s normalized calls to violence are conveniently forgotten because Trump is Hitler don’t ya know.

After a never ending smear campaign it’s no wonder Trump hates the press.

Even poor students of history can see what’s happening to the press.

Steve Bannon has plans for Canada. We have to be on our guard

I regret to inform you that it is necessary to pay attention to Steve Bannon because he has plans for Canada and, unfortunately, he has repeatedly shown that he can make bad things happen.

Bannon will go down in history as the man who discovered the power of the “sh*tpost,” and who showed that an online army of incels and trolls could be a potent source of political power.

He has now turned his attention to Alberta, and if his plan succeeds, the Stars and Stripes will end up flying over our heads, as Trump desires.

The Star is hyperventilating again.

Canada Should Warm to Trump’s Arctic Plans

Donald Trump’s Arctic strategy has been 500 years in the making.

When Christopher Columbus set sail across the Atlantic in 1492, he intended to find a direct path from Europe to Asia.

He didn’t, of course — but the first transatlantic explorer to sail under an English flag, John Cabot, tried again a few years later and became the first modern explorer to reach what is now Canada.

Canada, California, and Chinese Electric Cars

Driving down an uncertain road.

On his recent trip to Beijing, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney praised the leadership of Xi Jinping and announced plans to bring 49,000 Chinese electric cars into Canada. In several ways that escaped notice, Carney was following in the footsteps of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.

As David Frum notes, Trudeau “traveled to Josef Stalin’s Soviet Union to participate in regime-sponsored propaganda activities,” a reference to the Moscow Economic Conference in April, 1952. Stalin’s USSR came billed as a workers’ state based on the “scientific” principles of Marxism-Leninism, as opposed to the “bourgeois” nations with their market economies. The regime’s admirers assumed that the Communist regime’s products would be superior, but it didn’t turn out that way.

This homeless man was put in a taxi to London. Here’s who paid the $241 fare

A Huron County man who often uses shelters to avoid sleeping outside says the Huron Perth Health Care Alliance paid his $241.42 taxi fare to London, Ont., to free up space in a shelter where he’d been staying in Clinton.

The man told CBC News he was sent to London on the promise there would be shelter space for him, which upon arrival turned out to not be the case.

Canada’s icebreaker pact looked great until Trump started threatening the Arctic

U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to Greenland, and the claims of continental hegemony contained in the new U.S. national security strategy, have awoken Canadians to the threat to their own Arctic sovereignty.

But Canada is still assisting the Americans in developing the very technology that could enable them to one day seize control of all or part of Canada’s Arctic archipelago.

Canadian co-operation and design is central to the construction of a new fleet of ships that the U.S. intends to use to strengthen its presence in the regions surrounding the North Pole.

Canada’s “Islamophobia” Day: The State-Backed Campaign to Protect Sharia, Criminalize Criticism, and Silence a Nation

Canada has declared January 29 a national day to combat “Islamophobia.” The event is promoted by NCCM – originally CAIR-Canada, the Canadian arm of a U.S. based lobby group with a history of foreign funding – now rebranded and federally funded in Canada. It is also authorized by the Canadian Council of Imams to collect zakat ‘in the cause of Allah’ (fi sabilillah), a doctrinal category that includes jihad.
