Elite Economist Admits: Trump‘s Deportations Push up Citizens‘ Wages

President Donald Trump is pushing up wages for millions of Americans by ending the federal welcome for millions of illegal migrants, says a pro-migration economist at a Washington, DC, think-tank.

“We’re going to see stronger wage growth in some occupations, stronger wage growth in the agricultural sector, stronger wage growth for home health workers,” said Wendy Edelberg, a “senior fellow” at the elite-funded Brookings Institution in Washington, DC.

Meanwhile in Canada the Liberal Government and their Corporate Welfare Class pals continue to screw citizens over.

Frostbite and fear: Inside a journey into Canada with human smugglers

Chidi Nwagbo says he made a “stupid” decision paying human smugglers to get him into Canada that left him permanently scarred and in the hands of the very U.S. immigration authorities he was trying to flee.

The 57-year-old says he paid $2,000 US in cash to a human smuggling organization in New Jersey to escape the immigration raids sweeping the U.S. He says the smugglers lied to him about the dangers of the journey that almost killed him along the borderlands between New York State and Quebec in February of this year.

“If I had known that this would have been the outcome, I don’t think I would have done it,” said Nwagbo in a phone interview with CBC News from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention centre in Batavia, N.Y.

In the US since the 80’s never applied for citizenship. Seems Legit.

GIESBRECHT: Why Canadians pay $500 a year protecting millionaire farmers

‘Supply management props up 10,000 millionaire farmers at everyone else’s expense. Trump sees through it. Why can’t our leaders?’

The average Canadian family spends $500 per year to subsidize the 10,000 or so dairy farmers — most of whom are millionaires — who make up a dairy lobby that has had a stranglehold on Canadian politics for a generation. Unlike a tax, that $500 doesn’t go towards maintaining roads, or equipping the army. It mainly goes into the pockets of those producers.

Let me say at the outset that I’m not intending to disrespect our dairy farmers. They are conscientious, hard working people who have built their farms under the system as they found it.

DOBBIE: How will Carney get out of the supply management trap with Donald Trump?

Thanks for the donation!

Mark Carney has vowed to maintain the Supply Management system for dairy, poultry and eggs in Canada, pandering to Quebec which holds this system dear to its heart. To cement this, he passed a Bloc sponsored Bill on June 5 bolstering support for the system by removing his Foreign Affairs minister’s privilege of changing it in any renegotiation. Unfortunately for Mr. Carney, and perhaps for Canada, this is unlikely to satisfy Mr. Trump who has announced his displeasure at the unfair trade practice.

In Canada’s Northern Outposts, Rusting Relics Once Guarded Against Nuclear War

Chibougamau – Cold War Radar Pinetree Line

Strings of radars stretching across Canada were built to give early warnings of Soviet bombers coming over the Arctic. The region now faces a new era of militarization.

At the crossroads of Golf Street and Armed Forces Street, a large banana-shaped metal memorial on a pedestal gazes at the open sky in northern Canada. All but forgotten, its lower half blackened with time, it now stands forever still — or in repose, one might say.

In its glory days during the Cold War, the artifact — a radar — spun and bobbed with balletic grace, spat out bursts of waves and listened for echoes, as it continuously scanned the skies for Soviet bombers sneaking over the Arctic.

“It’s really crazy when you think about it, that this radar was the raison d’être of our whole town,” said Frédéric Maltais, who grew up in Chibougamau, a city in northern Quebec, on a military base that was shuttered at the end of the Cold War and became a golf course. “Imagine all the resources that went into managing one radar like that.”

GOLDSTEIN: Removing all of Trump’s tariffs no longer realistic

While Canada’s official goal in trade negotiations with the U.S is to remove all tariffs imposed on us by President Donald Trump, it’s now clear this is an aspirational target rather than a realistic one.

The realistic one is to negotiate a deal with Trump that Canadians can live with, given that the U.S. President, a self-described “tariff person,” is on a campaign to use them to demolish the existing global economic order in favour of the U.S.

Republicans Must Not Cede the Urban Working Class to Socialists Like Zohran Mamdani

Mamdani’s victory over Andrew Cuomo shows where the Democrat Party is headed. It’s up to populist Republicans to stop the country from going there, too.

The victory of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, in New York City’s Democrat primary has conservatives searching for answers. Unfortunately, many are attributing it to college-brainwashed rich kids, dismissing the notion that hardworking people in an expensive city could find price controls and free public transit attractive.

Pessimism, anger still dominate Canadian attitudes toward Americans, poll shows

More than 70 per cent of Canadians still pick a negative emotion such as anger to describe their feelings toward Americans, but the intensity of this ire has cooled even as a damaging trade war with the United States continues, a new poll shows.

There’s been a slight uptick in those saying their dominant emotion is instead disinterest or even optimism, the survey indicates.

More than 7 in 10 Canadians polled said pessimism or anger best describe their views toward Americans, an early July poll by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail found.

Canadian musician Matthew Good cancels U.S. shows due to Trump administration

Canadian musician Matthew Good says he’s cancelling his U.S. tour dates because of President Donald Trump’s government.

The “Load Me Up” rocker is pointing to Canada’s cancellation of the digital services tax as a main factor in the decision.

I fully expect Trump to cave by supper time.

‘He’s Nuts, Your Trump.’ Canada Unites Against America.

So united a member of the RCMP hoped to see Trump assassinated

Even here, among the sparsely populated lakes and thickly forested hills of the Laurentians, it is hard for an American not to feel the anger and incredulity President Trump has stoked with his tariffs, talk of a 51st state and offhand insults.

Much of that may be lost on Americans buffeted by the ceaseless rush of crises and clashes generated by the president’s agenda. But up here, in what used to be the most friendly neighbor a country could possibly ask for, the rage is tangible.

A TDS suffering author from Quebec no less.

CHARLEBOIS: Everyone’s suddenly a supply management expert but few understand it

In recent days, nearly everyone has weighed in on supply management – especially after U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his longstanding opposition to the policy.

In a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, he threatened to impose new tariffs of up to 35% by Aug. 1, reigniting old debates. In response, the media has scrambled to feature a range of voices, many of whom lack any real understanding of the policy’s complexities. Some of the most misleading statements have come from high-profile commentators and political figures who have never seriously studied the system

TWA Flight 800 And The Government’s Decades-Long Cover-Up

Can Americans trust their government? Recent evidence suggests that our institutions will lie to us. Consider that, just a few days ago, we learned that, contrary to 60 years of CIA denials, a CIA officer had been involved in psychological operations connected to Lee Harvey Oswald months before John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Those of us who remember the government’s decades-long cover-up of its involvement in the July 1996 TWA crash were not surprised.
