MARKHAM — A controversial diaspora pressure group with ties to Chinese consular circles in Toronto is demanding that Pierre Poilievre step down, following an election marked by Beijing’s attacks on Conservative candidates, and renewing the same type of challenge it posed to former leader Erin O’Toole, which first drew national security attention after the 2021 federal contest.

The southern border breakdown was permitted. Will we allow the same forces to break through from the north?
Borders are not abstractions. They are security infrastructure. They are economic lifelines. And when left unguarded, they become the entry points for chaos. While America’s political establishment clings to the southern border narrative, a quieter, more calculated breach is advancing from the north. The U.S.–Canada line — long mythologized as polite and uneventful — is now a preferred corridor for the same criminal cartels that have turned Mexico into a narco-state.
President Trump wants China’s automakers to build cars in the U.S., but modern vehicle technology makes that a national security risk.
President Donald Trump marked the first 100 days of his second term with a speech touting the accomplishments of his administration. Delivering the address from Michigan, the heart of the American auto industry, the president drew special attention to the challenge of foreign competition and its place in his trade agenda.
Implicitly invoking Ronald Reagan’s successful efforts to induce Japanese automakers to build cars in the U.S., Trump told the crowd at Macomb Community College that he wants foreign automakers to invest in U.S. production again. While the friendly audience mostly applauded this message, one line surely left them confused: Trump’s statement that not only Japanese but Chinese automakers should build cars here.
U.S. and China take a step back from sky-high tariffs and agree to pause for 90 days for more talks

The conversation we’re having about opioids in Canada is starkly different from one year ago.
Where Canadians were once squarely focused on health policies to reduce the high number of opioid deaths — especially last spring, amid British Columbia’s drug decriminalization rollback — our attention has lately shifted, from the people who use drugs to those who sell them.
That’s in large part because of President Trump.
Mr. Trump has said that Canadian criminals send “massive” amounts of illegal fentanyl into the United States, one of the pretexts for his earlier punitive tariff measures.
I am not inclined to believe the habitual liars of the Liberal party on any matter and will trust Sam Cooper’s investigations into Canada’s role in the fentanyl trade.
Following years of diplomatic and trade tensions, China’s ambassador to Canada, Wang Di, insists the two countries can move past what he characterizes as “normal” differences.
“For China and Canada to bring our relationship back onto the right track, we need to seek common ground while reserving differences in a constructive way,” Wang said through a translator in an exclusive broadcast interview with CTV’s Question Period, airing Sunday.
“China and Canada have a lot of differences, and this is very, very normal,” he also said.
Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly privately praised the United States for taking “a hard stand on drugs” shortly after former President Donald Trump threatened 25% tariffs on Canadian exports over fentanyl and border concerns, internal government notes show.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the scripted remarks, prepared for a closed-door meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on December 27, were released through Access To Information.
Now-former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau famously complimented China’s government.
Newly installed Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is a globalist who has frequently criticized his American counterpart, President Donald Trump.
Though Canada and China have had their difficulties, some reports indicate that the two nations are ready to “move forward” in their relationship.
It may be that the US knows how deep China is into Canada and seeks to eradicate the threat by annexing Beijing’s outpost.
VANCOUVER, Canada — Around the time Canadian police uncovered a massive Chinese drug cash bank in Richmond, B.C.—exposing the so-called Vancouver Model of transnational money laundering—investigators made another stunning discovery that has never before been publicly disclosed.
According to sources with direct knowledge, operatives tied to Beijing’s foreign influence arm, the United Front Work Department, were orchestrating a parallel cannabis trafficking and money laundering operation—leveraging Canada’s legalization of marijuana to export the lucrative commodity to the United States and Japan. The scheme used short-term rental platforms to operate illicit cannabis brokerage houses in Vancouver, aggregating product from vast acreages across Western Canada and shipping it to destinations including Tokyo and New York City. Proceeds were collected in United Front-linked drug cash brokerages in those cities and laundered back through Canadian banks.
In 2016, the U.S.-China trade war forced Beijing to negotiate. Tariffs crippled Chinese factories, major U.S. retailers like Walmart and Costco halted orders, and container shipments stalled. China conceded. But in 2025, when the U.S. imposed a 145 percent tariff expecting similar results, Beijing didn’t flinch. There was no panic, no economic distress, no concessions. Why? Because China had a secret card this time.
Canada is no longer a serious country — at least not when it comes to foreign policy and moral fortitude.
Over the last several years, Ottawa has failed to articulate any meaningful strategy in response to major global events, while at the same time jeopardizing some of Canada’s most important diplomatic relations. This should set alarm bells off in Washington. If Canadian and U.S. foreign policy remain this misaligned, the consequences for America could be serious.
China has agreed to the first major talks with the US since Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs and launched a global trade war.
Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, and Jamieson Greer, the US trade representative, will meet with their counterparts in Geneva this weekend.
It is a move Mr Bessent has described as a “de-escalation” amid growing market worry over the impact of the tariffs on the world economy, and working Americans.
The apparent involvement of Chinese aircraft in shooting down a Western-made Rafale has ricocheted through defence circles
At 4am on Wednesday, China’s ambassador to Pakistan hurried to the foreign ministry to celebrate an unprecedented military success.
Pakistan had reportedly shot down several Indian aircraft in the hours before using Chinese J-10C fighter jets.
“Our jet fighters… shot down three Indian Rafales, three Rafales [that] are French,” Ishaq Dar, Pakistan’s foreign minister, told parliament on Wednesday. “Ours were J-10C.”
Hong Kong Police Detain Relatives of Canadian Candidate Targeted by Beijing Election Interference
HONG KONG / OTTAWA — In a striking escalation of Beijing’s interference in Canada’s Parliament and its global campaign to silence dissent, Hong Kong police have reportedly detained and questioned relatives of former Conservative election candidate Joe Tay—who was targeted by aggressive Chinese cyber and ground operations during the recent federal campaign, according to The Bureau’s intelligence sources.

Unrest has been reported across the country as workers have taken to the streets protesting unpaid wages and challenging unfair dismissals following the closures of factories squeezed by US tariffs, according to Radio Free Asia.
