The comments of the U.S. Ambassador to Canada reveal a shocking ignorance and disdain

Most Canadians say they’ll never trust the United States the way they once did, according to a new poll.

Conducted by Ipsos for Global News, the poll found that 60 per cent of those surveyed believe Canada won’t ever be able to rely on their southern neighbour the same way, while 71 per cent feel the trade dispute that upended the countries’ long-standing friendship will continue for years.

These results have no doubt perplexed and angered some Americans, including the current U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra.


Given that we have the best tariff deal anywhere and have spent years freeloading under the USA’s protective wing I suggest the Elbow People tone it down.

In July, the number of Canadian residents returning from the United States was down to 2.6 million, marking a 32.4 per cent decrease compared with July 2024, Statistics Canada said in a new report Tuesday.

Barry Appleton: Canada’s ‘hopium’ U.S. trade strategy all talk, no troops

Canada just announced consultations for the Canada-United States-Mexico (CUSMA) trade agreement, copying America’s homework while forgetting we don’t have the same tools to complete the assignment. It’s like showing up to a gunfight with a strongly-worded letter.

Here’s the stark reality: The United States has over 700 trade experts on standby, ready to defend their interests. Canada? Zero. We dismantled our Sectoral Advisory Groups on International Trade (SAGITs) in 2013 to save pennies. Now we’re paying in billions.

Islamist 5th Columnist Sadiq Khan: Trump is racist and sexist

Sir Sadiq Khan has said Donald Trump has shown he is “racist, sexist, misogynistic and Islamophobic” after the president made comments about him to the United Nations.

Speaking to the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday, Trump said London had “a terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been changed, it’s been so changed”.

He added: “Now they want to go to Sharia law.”


Everyone knows the UK is becoming a sharia sh&thole.

Dearborn’s Downfall: Muslims now run Henry Ford’s hometown

Hamas Rally Dearborn Michigan

As I have been shouting from the rooftops (figuratively speaking) for a quarter of a century, there exist in Western Europe entire cities, and large sections of other cities, that are already effectively under Islamic control. Muslim leaders who at first, before their fellow believers had achieved dominance, played the victim and spoke of religious freedom and minority rights, now wield their power ruthlessly, imposing sharia law with increasing imperiousness and treating the non-Muslims among them the same way that infidels have always been treated in Islamic societies. In Bradford and Malmö, in the Stockholm neighborhood of Rinkeby and the Brussels neighborhood of Molenbeek, the future of Western Europe has already arrived, and it’s not a pretty sight.

Cache of Devices Capable of Crashing Cell Network Is Found Near U.N.

The Secret Service discovered more than 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers, which could disable cellular towers or be used to conduct surveillance.

The Secret Service found and seized an illicit network of sophisticated equipment in the New York region that was capable of shutting down the cellular network as foreign leaders prepared to gather nearby for the annual U.N. General Assembly, the agency announced on Tuesday.

Officials said the anonymous communications network, which included more than 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers, could interfere with emergency response services and could be used to conduct encrypted communication. One official said the network was capable of sending 30 million text messages per minute, anonymously. The official said the agency had never before seen such an extensive operation.

“Destroy the Idea of America”

The People’s Conference for Palestine put academic radicalism on full display.

Over Labor Day weekend, thousands gathered for the Second Annual People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit. The conference featured a lineup of speakers who variously called on activists to “destroy the idea of America in Americans’ heads,” identified Palestine as “the vanguard of the second wave of decolonization,” and told attendees to “bring[] the fight back home.” One of America’s most prominent live streamers called for “revolutionary optimism” and increased agitation.

Ryan Wesley Routh – Batshit Crazy Leftist Wannabe Trump Assassin

Ryan Routh, the madman who holed up in a sniper’s nest with an assault rifle at one of President Trump’s golf courses, was convicted Tuesday of trying to assassinate the then-GOP nominee.

The jurors took about two hours to find Routh, 59, guilty of five federal charges of attempted assassination, assault on a federal officer and gun crimes following a two week trial in Fort Pierce, Fla. court.

Trump tells UN General Assembly immigration, green energy policies ‘destroying’ the world

U.S. President Donald Trump delivered his first in-person address to the United Nations General Assembly in seven years on Tuesday, telling those assembled that “your countries are going to hell” due to green energy policies and what he characterized as runaway migration.

Trump defended the efforts of his administration to secure its southern border and warned of the “death of Western Europe” from migration. He also took aim at UN programs that support the world’s refugees.

“The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not finance them,” said Trump, using a term for mass movements of people that activists have criticized for being dehumanizing.

Elsewhere, Trump dismissed climate change as the ” greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.”

Canada may face ‘punitive measures’ for recognizing Palestinian state: U.S. Republicans

Carney speaks at a Muslim Brotherhood function

OTTAWA — A group of U.S. Republicans warned Prime Minister Mark Carney and allied nations on Friday that recognizing the Palestinian state may invite “punitive measures in response” for being “at odds” with longstanding U.S. foreign policy.

In an open letter, 25 Republican members of Congress and Senators called on Carney to “reconsider” his government’s decision. Carney formally recognized the Palestinian state on Sunday, ahead of his arrival in New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

Charlie Kirk’s Assassination and a New Great Awakening

The title to this essay is a line from Tolkien. But I’m also reminded of two distinct lines from Star Wars, paired:

If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

I dunno, I can imagine an awful lot.

Charlie Kirk was a powerful force. He went from campus to campus and he talked to people. Generally when he was debating, he would put his microphone down, to reassure his partner that he wasn’t going to talk over them. He was respectful, and he was highly effective. He played a major role in winning over Gen Z to the conservative side. That’s why he was killed — murdered. He was murdered not because he was “hateful,” or “extreme,” but because he was effective.

AOC Becomes De Facto House Minority Leader

The Charlie Kirk Resolution proved she controls more votes than Hakeem Jeffries.

Before last Friday’s House vote on a symbolic resolution condemning the assassination of Charlie Kirk and all forms of political violence while honoring his life, the purported leaders of the Democratic Caucus informed its members that they would support the measure. Yet, in a truly vile floor speech prior to the vote, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) called the resolution “reckless” and claimed Kirk’s “rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.” In the end, less than half of the Democrats voted for the resolution. The rest stood with AOC.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk meet and shake hands months after messy split

Donald Trump met with billionaire Elon Musk, his once trusted adviser with whom the president had a spectacular public falling out, at a memorial event for right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, raising speculation that the two could be reconciling.

Trump shook hands with and chatted to Musk, who once led the president’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which took a hatchet to the US federal workforce and agencies in the early months of Trump’s second administration.
