Carney’s EV deal with Beijing is high-wire diplomacy with risks on both sides

One day before Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Beijing, U.S. President Donald Trump offered his latest dismissal of the Canadian auto industry. The North American free-trade pact is “irrelevant,” Mr. Trump said while touring a Ford Motor Co. plant in Michigan, and the U.S. should stop buying Canadian cars.

Mr. Carney’s response came on Friday.

It will be great for Carney and the China class and that’s all it was intended to be.

Prime Minister @MarkJCarneyney’s trip to Beijing was widely touted as a chance to stabilize relations. In reality, it was a test of whether Canada can manage pressure without giving ground where it matters. How do you think the PM performed? pic.twitter.com/T2yeZdt5DR

Calgary: Evil Muslim Jamal Taan Borhot who fought for ISIS should spend 16 years in prison for terrorism convictions says Crown

A Calgary man convicted of three terrorism-related offences should spend 16 years in prison, prosecutors argued on Friday.

Jamal Taan Borhot, 35, who travelled to Syria with his cousin Hussein Borhot, spent nearly a year fighting for ISIS starting in 2013.

Court of King’s Bench Justice Corina Dario heard sentencing arguments Friday but reserved her decision to Feb. 4.

Carney Broadcasting Corporation Salivates Over ChiCom EV’s

Chinese EVs are coming to Canada. How soon will they be here? How much will they cost?

Buckle up! The electric vehicle market in this country is about to take a sharp turn.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is reopening Canada to Chinese-made EVs, lowering a 100 per cent tariff on imports, imposed in 2024, back to six per cent.

There’s demand for more affordable and climate-conscious EVs and, for an average customer, having Chinese EVs in the market means “more choice” and “greater tech,” said Max Morris, sales manager at Shift Electric Vehicles in Burlington, Ont.

How much does slave labour contribute to the manufacture of China’s EV’s?

The manufacture of electric vehicles (EVs) in China involves complex global supply chains, and multiple investigations have documented links to forced labor, particularly involving Uyghur and other ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). While quantifying the exact “contribution” of forced labor is challenging due to opaque supply chains and lack of comprehensive data, reports from organizations like Human Rights Watch, Sheffield Hallam University, and others provide estimates based on production volumes, company exposures, and labor transfer programs. These indicate that forced labor risks permeate significant portions of key materials and components, especially aluminum, batteries, and related metals.

Oh Oh!

Canada just made a massive mistake! Siding with the enemy means that the US has no choice but to take Canada, for National Security!! https://t.co/6riXFc6HCI

Canadian Politicians Mourn Islamophobic Hate Crime Committed Against Bondi Beach Shooter

Was the Muslim killed as he shot down dozens of Jews at Bondi Beach, Australia, actually a victim of “Islamophobia?”

If you ask the Canadian New Democratic Party, the third-largest political party in Canada, Bondi Beach is an example of Islamophobic hate leaving a victim in its wake.

A China Deal That Trades Leverage for Illusion

Canada’s newly announced trade memorandum with China has been presented by the federal government as pragmatic statecraft in a turbulent world. Lower tariffs on canola and seafood in exchange for the entry of nearly 50,000 Chinese electric vehicles, we are told, will diversify exports, lower consumer prices, and signal Canada’s independence from American protectionism.

This framing is incomplete. More troublingly, it is strategically naive. Trade policy is not merely about price and volume. It is about leverage, reciprocity, industrial resilience, and alignment with trusted partners. On those measures, this agreement falls short.

BANNON: Mark Carney is an enemy of the United States; it's obvious. Canada has been infiltrated by the CCP and radical Islam. What he did in Beijing was tantamount to an economic declaration of unrestricted warfare against the United States of America! pic.twitter.com/GYMua17XQK

Greenland may be our first, best, and last chance to stand up to Donald Trump

My first encounter with the Sirius Patrol came after I’d delivered a speech at a conference in Nuuk, Greenland, in 2019.

A young man wearing Danish military camouflage approached me. He was tall and lean, with a weather-beaten face and piercing blue eyes.

“You’re right about the Arctic being a dangerous place,” he said. “Last winter, I travelled by dog sled along the coast of northeastern Greenland.”

MODRY: Europe’s existential crisis should terrify Canada and explain Alberta’s push for independence

As Europe slides deeper into economic stagnation, its experience offers a stark warning for Canada. Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, recently cautioned that Europe faces an “existential crisis” unless fundamental reforms are undertaken. Her warning should not be dismissed as alarmist rhetoric. Rather, it exposes the structural failures of centralized governance, overregulation, and fiscal mismanagement, failures that increasingly resemble Canada’s own trajectory.

Western Standard investigation exposes Hezbollah allegations and overthrow plot in Alberta’s ‘Corrupt Care’ scandal

“Is that David Wallace?” Western Standard Publisher Derek Fildebrandt asked reporter David Wiechnik after he had muted the Zoom call they were on.

“Yeah,” Wiechnik replied.

“Holy shit,” Fildebrandt said.

“That guy is the most untrustworthy guy there is.”

Doug Ford blasts Mark Carney’s EV deal with China

Premier Doug Ford is panning Prime Minister Mark Carney’s slashing of Canada’s 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles.

“Make no mistake: China now has a foothold in the Canadian market and will use it to their full advantage at the expense of Canadian workers,” Ford warned Friday after Carney reached a deal with Beijing in exchange for China cutting retaliatory levies on Canadian canola and seafood.

“The federal government is inviting a flood of cheap made-in-China electric vehicles without any real guarantee of equal or immediate investments in Canada’s economy, auto sector or supply chain,” the premier said in a statement.

The loss of Canada’s automotive industry is inevitable assuming Trump holds true to course and reshores manufacturing.

And EV’s are not the future but that won’t stop Carney and his plans to turn bad policy into profit for the China class.

This may be a tacit admission by Ford that the Great EV Gamble came up snake eyes.

“To fix this mess, Prime Minister Carney and the federal government need to urgently step up and support Ontario’s auto sector,” he added.

“That means making the sector more competitive by ending the electric vehicle mandate, harmonizing regulations with key trading partners and scrapping federal fees that do nothing but add thousands to the cost of making vehicles and chase away investments,” stressed Ford”

Toronto lawyer suspended while facing weapons charges involving machete, box cutter and hammer

A Toronto lawyer charged last year with a string of criminal offences, including allegedly driving with a suspended licence with a machete in his car and threatening people at a store with a box cutter, has seen his licence to practice law in Ontario suspended temporarily.

The Law Society of Ontario learned last August that Behrouz Shafiei-Sararoodi, who goes by Shafiei, was facing criminal charges that he hadn’t told them about.

Alberta teacher preaches anti-conservative rant to students

A Fort Saskatchewan high school teacher was caught berating students with an anti-conservative rant about society.

“Your entire society is built on ‘F*** Trudeau’ sticker, ‘Oil pipelines, now.’ ‘You bad, I good.’ ‘Angry,'” said the teacher to his students. “Okay, but you can’t control your entire society with anger.”

She lit a cigarette in Canada and inspired Iranian protesters across the world

It was an iconic image: A photogenic young Iranian woman filmed herself lighting a cigarette with a picture of Iran’s leader, an evocative protest against the misogynistic clerics who run Iran.

It grabbed the attention of a world captivated by the Iranian uprisings, quickly inspiring copycats — including other young women and American politicians — and stylized artwork as well as AI knockoffs.

Canadian troops won’t be joining European military force in Greenland

Canadian soldiers won’t be joining their European allies for a show of military force in Greenland.

Danish Armed Forces have begun deploying troops to the Arctic island in response to American insistence that it needs Greenland to bolster national security in the north. The Danes are being joined by small numbers of troops from European countries, including France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Britain.

GOLDSTEIN: If Canada can’t build new oil pipeline, we’re not serious country

If it’s truly impossible for our federal government to create the winning conditions to build one new oil pipeline from Alberta to tidewater in B.C., then we may as well admit Canada is not a serious country.

That is, a country interested in ensuring its own economic survival.

CHARLEBOIS: McDonald’s price freeze fuelling full-scale price war

McDonald’s Canada has just pulled the pin on a full-scale price war. By freezing prices for an entire year on its $5 Value Meals and $1 menu items, the country’s largest quick-service restaurant player is locking in entry level affordability at a moment when consumers have made it unmistakably clear they have had enough of fast-food inflation. This is not a marketing flourish. It is a defensive economic move.
