What does Mark Carney really think about Canada’s once and future relationship with the United States? More importantly, does it matter?
During the election, Carney drew applause from Official Canada when he declared: “the old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military security cooperation is over.” It went down so well, he repeated the line in his election night victory speech.
Over 40 people were arrested during immigration raids and search warrant executions on Friday in downtown Los Angeles, California, amid standoffs with leftist protesters and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Trump Administration Sending National Guard to L.A. to Address Riots
The Trump administration revealed that it is sending the National Guard to Los Angeles to address the ongoing violent riots against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
In a post on X, Leavitt revealed that President Donald Trump had signed a Presidential Memorandum that deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen “to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester.” Leavitt continued to point out that the Trump administration “has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior.”
Arrest EUNISSES HERNANDEZ !!

Deranged Gavin Newsom calls threats to deploy US marines in California ‘deranged’
The California governor, Gavin Newsom, called the potential deployment of US marines in his state “deranged” after the secretary of defense threatened the use of such troops amid a promise to deploy the national guard after an immigration crackdown saw police use teargas on protesters.
“The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior,” Newsom wrote on X.
Earlier Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s controversial and hardline defense secretary, had raised the possibility of deploying US marines onto the streets of the Democrat-run state amid the protests that had erupted in the wake of Ice raids in the state.
Leftist rioters in California have buckets full of rocks & are spraying what I assume is gas/lighter fluid into empty glass beer bottles (molotov cocktails?).
This is terrorism, & unless it's stopped immediately it will only get worse

You may have heard about President Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense shield.
But I have come to realize recently that that is not enough.
We need to build a solid dome across the entire United States, perhaps made of thick plexiglass and securely fastened at the coasts and borders.
Just one day after the U.S. Supreme Court shot down one lawsuit from Mexico’s government against various gun manufacturers, President Claudia Sheinbaum claimed that her government was moving forward with other lawsuits aimed at the gun industry.
OTTAWA – The American ambassador to Canada is pushing back on Ottawa’s travel advice, saying his country doesn’t search phones at the border and arguing some Americans travelling here are having a tough time.
“We welcome Canadians to come in and invest, to spend their hard-earned Canadian dollars at U.S. businesses,” U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra told The Canadian Press in an interview Friday.
“If a Canadian has had a disappointing experience coming into the United States, I’m not denying that it happened, but I’m saying it’s an isolated event and it is not a pattern.”
Several Trump administration officials fired back at Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Friday after she pledged to oppose federal efforts to nab illegal immigrants — as cops in her city had to use flash bangs to disperse the violent mob of protesters who descended on the arrest sites.
“We will not stand for this,” Bass said in a statement released after federal immigration authorities arrested 44 people in raids across Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass says she’s going to defend illegals from ICE:
“We are going to fight for all Angelenos, regardless of when they got here, whether they have papers or not, we are a city of immigrants.”

Industry Minister Mélanie Joly is indicating that a crackdown on dumping of cheap foreign steel into Canada is coming soon– a move that will help cushion the blow for Canada’s big three steel producers that are grappling with U.S President Donald’s Trump’s 50-per-cent tariffs.
Algoma Steel Group Inc. chief executive Michael Garcia has argued on multiple occasions that mills from China, South Korea, Malaysia, India, Vietnam, the Middle East and Turkey regularly dump steel into Canada and make it nearly impossible for the company to compete in its home market. In meetings with federal politicians over the past few few days, he’s pleaded for Canada to immediately place tariffs on all of these countries.
Five leaders of far-right group the Proud Boys, who were convicted in connection to the 6 January, 2021 Capitol riot, have sued the US government for $100 million (£74m), claiming that their rights were violated during their prosecution.
The five were convicted of plotting and taking part in the riot to overturn President Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election. Trump pardoned or commuted their sentences earlier this year.
The lawsuit, filed in Florida on Friday, claims FBI agents and prosecutors were motivated by personal biases when prosecuting their cases.
OTTAWA — While more Canadians are planning to travel this summer, U.S. destinations are not on the itinerary.
New polling released Thursday by Leger show a surge in Canadians looking to take a leisure trip this summer — 55%, up from just 47% in 2024.
Elon Musk may be swapping insults with President Trump after pivoting away from politics and stepping down from the Department of Government Efficiency, but the broader initiative, driven by what he described as a mission to end the “tyranny of the bureaucracy,” will soldier on. Even if its impact on government spending remains limited, DOGE’s aggressive approach has rattled Washington’s political establishment.
The administration’s war against the bureaucracy didn’t emerge from the mind of President Trump or Mr. Musk alone. Nor is it the product of traditional conservative preoccupations with shrinking government and reducing spending. Its roots and motivations are far deeper.
It is the culmination of a once marginalized, now transformative strand of political thought about who really holds power in the modern American system. Namely, that our democracy has been usurped by a permanent ruling class of wholly unaccountable managers and bureaucrats.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, tens of thousands of American citizens sought, and gained, refuge in Canada. They weren’t technically refugees – most applied for landed immigrant status – but what they were seeking was, in effect, a safe place to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War.
The official policy of Canada’s “Department of Manpower and Immigration” was not to ask about applicants’ military status; these were mostly young, educated, middle-upper-class men, after all – making them precisely the type of “desirable” immigrant seen to offer benefits to Canada.
“Conservative columnists” who expect everyone else to foot the bill for their virtue signaling are tiresome.
There are precious few actual refugees if any fleeing the US into Canada.
The recent firebomb attack in Boulder, Colorado, against people demonstrating in favor of Israel has set in motion a policy process that is long overdue and provides a timely vehicle for a discussion the USA should have engaged in years ago regarding the intentions of Muslims toward non-Muslims.
USA Today was forced to heavily edit a story on the daughter of the Colorado terror suspect after thousands hammered the newspaper’s glowing puff piece for excluding horrific details of the attack.
The article, originally published Tuesday, did not specifically state that 45-year-old Egyptian national Mohamed Soliman allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at a group of pro-Israel demonstrators.
The revised version added this detail to the body of the story and to the headline, with an editor’s note saying the story had been updated to provide ‘context and detail’.
Convicted drug kingpin Khaophone Sychantha was 100% certain he didn’t need a lawyer.
The way the 43-year-old Laotian-Canadian man sees it: He will be exonerated by appellate courts in Michigan. He argues he never should have been extradited to the U.S. in the first place.
When Chinese entities began to buy up farmland near remote but strategic American military installations here in the United States, there were some of us who raised the question, Why?
Those who did so were criticized, described as paranoid, Sinophobic, and hostile to Chinese investment in America.
We might want to revisit that criticism.
