Canadian wildfire smoke is travelling south and making it difficult for some Americans to enjoy their summer, according to a letter from six members of Congress to Canada’s ambassador in Washington.
“We write to you today on behalf of our constituents who have had to deal with suffocating Canadian wildfire smoke filling the air to begin the summer,” begins the letter, published Monday and addressed to Ambassador Kirsten Hillman.
Canada’s ambitious strategy to turn to the European Union to wean itself off American dependency for military equipment could be difficult to deliver and result in political fallout, warns former defence and security officials in a new report.
After assessing the political and fiscal risks of the Canada-EU Security and Defence Partnership, signed by Prime Minister Mark Carney in Brussels in June, the authors found that “achieving the partnership’s full potential is highly uncertain” because of obstacles on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
Those obstacles include trade tensions with the United States, division among the European nations and weak links between the federal and provincial governments.
Trump may not care at all seeing it as one more stumble in Canada’s Elbows Up death march.
But if it means participation in un-scrutinized hastily thrown together “deals” that line the pockets of third parties named Brookfield then it’s all good!
Four saboteurs arrested by Border Patrol for spiking their tires while on an immigration operation on Tuesday have been identified. And, you could say, they left their seeming benefactor, a government-subsidized NGO, holding the bag.
Canadians should be asking themselves why it took an American president launching a trade war against us for our federal and provincial governments to finally start addressing our economic problems they should have fixed decades ago.
Canada is a Banana Republic which is why I was never upset at Trump’s annexation jibes.
Elbows Up? More like “Heads in Ass”.
We have been taken for a ride by our “elites” who have conspired to turn Canada into a 3RD World Dumpster for their personal profit.
They should be jailed.
Canada’s negotiating team is intensifying trade talks with the United States after they hit a snag last month, and a July 21 deadline to conclude some kind of agreement is looming.
The talks are following a separate track from U.S. negotiations with dozens of other nations. Those had been scheduled to conclude by Wednesday, but President Trump extended their deadline to Aug. 1.
Canadian officials at various levels are communicating with their United States counterparts almost daily, according to Kirsten Hillman, the country’s ambassador to the U.S. and its chief trade negotiator.
Mayor Arturo Flores of Huntington Park, California had his own Sumter moment when he ordered police to confront ICE personnel taking illegal alien criminals into custody.
“This is not immigration enforcement. This is state-sanctioned intimidation,” Flores declared. “I am calling for the immediate cessation of these raids and for the Huntington Park Police Department to begin verifying the identities and authority of any individuals conducting such operations within city limits.”

‘Squad’ member Ilhan Omar’s daughter has taken to selling her used clothes to pay the bills after she was suspended from college for her pro-Palestine protesting.
Isra Hirsi, 22, took to Instagram this week to share how her life is going since being suspended from Columbia University’s liberal arts college, Barnard College, last year.
‘Unemployment got me,’ she said, adding that she is selling her clothes on thrifting platform Depop.
In a long overdue move, four of America’s most accurate pollsters have joined forces to take on the entrenched bias that’s been rotting the heart of public opinion research. The newly formed National Association of Independent Pollsters, comprised of Big Data Poll, InsiderAdvantage, Trafalgar Group, and Rasmussen Reports, has a simple mission: deliver honest, accurate data and expose the manipulations that have plagued the industry for years.
1. Mamdani is a salon Bolshevik. His mother is Mira Nair, a millionaire movie director. It was Mira Nair who tried to have the actress Gal Gadot banned from the Oscars because she is Israeli.
“I didn’t want to kill anybody,” Eric Nagler says. “And I was afraid if I did go in that, because I was a pacifist, I’d get sent to the front lines and shot. So anyway, I dodged the draft.”
Nagler, who is now 83, grew up in Brooklyn, New York, in the 1940s. Like millions of young American men, he was draft-age when U.S. ground troops first set foot in Vietnam in 1965. “My brother came home from university one day and said that he was a conscientious objector and explained what that was,” Nagler says. “I thought it was a terrific idea.
U.S. President Donald Trump said he will announce a 50 per cent tax on imported copper on Tuesday — adding to the growing list of punishing tariffs that are causing economic dislocation in Canada and around the world.
Trump said the tariffs are coming during a cabinet meeting at the White House.
On Monday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk warned that there’s a concerted “influence campaign” underway in Washington to quietly steer President Donald Trump toward granting mass amnesty—even after he secured a major border-and-security funding package. Kirk says elite “ruling class” players, emboldened by recent spending wins, are now pressuring Trump to “come to the middle” on immigration by legalizing up to 25 million undocumented residents.
Canada’s dairy farms are growing in size and shrinking in number, and the sector has failed to grow at the same rate as other large agricultural industries.
Yet dairy farmers are largely protected from international competition by a half-century old policy called supply management. And this policy – which sets a production quota and price point for dairy products – threatens to hurt other Canadian industries as U.S. President Donald Trump assails what he calls unfair protectionist measures and threatens to walk away from trade deals.
WASHINGTON — As U.S. President Donald Trump pursues his global trade war and talk of annexation, a new poll suggests the percentage of Canadians who view the United States as a top threat has tripled since 2019.
The survey by the Pew Research Center also suggests that 55 per cent of Canadians say the U.S. remains this country’s most important ally.
Prime Minister Mark Carney, who campaigned and won the recent federal election by promising to stand up for Canada, has so far acquiesced to United States President Donald Trump’s significant demands. Carney agreed to increase spending on our national defence to five per cent of our GDP, agreed to rescind our digital services tax on American tech giants, and seemed to suggest that Canada may take part in Trump’s Golden Dome, modelled after Israel’s Iron Dome. On the dome issue, Trump is now saying it would cost Canada $61-billion, or we can participate for free if we become America’s 51st state. Hopefully Carney is playing the long game here and will eventually fight back, but so far, at least publicly, he has not.
This is not standing up for Canada’s values.
What could he realistically do? Besides he and his cronies will profit deal or no deal, likely the most if Canada is broken up.
