A Canada-China embrace?

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.

With That Development, the Dems’ Insurrection at the NJ ICE Detention Center Looks Even Worse

I don’t make the rules here, folks. These are narratives and conventions made up by Democrats, so it’s even more satisfying when they inevitably break them since these awful people have no principles or moral core. Yesterday, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and other Democrats tried to lead an insurrection at Delaney Detention Hall, a facility housing illegal aliens, in Newark, New Jersey. The footage is wild

Business traveller anxiety rises as tales of U.S. border harassment and delays emerge

As hundreds of thousands of Canadians turn away from vacations and day-trips to the U.S., those who work for companies with cross-border operations are finding themselves in a tough spot.

“If I had not already started this project in 2024, I would not be taking it on now to travel to the U.S.,” Tyler, an engineer originally from Vancouver who now lives and works in the U.K., told the Star.

Tyler asked that the Star only use his first name out of concerns speaking publicly could cause him issues entering the U.S. for future work trips.

Inside China’s Massive Tariff-Dodging Scheme That Kills Its Competition

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.

Carney’s whiplash-inducing turn on Trump

Mere weeks after Prime Minister Mark Carney declared that bilateral relations with the U.S. were “over,” he’s leaned into a pro-American stance that is almost entirely at odds with the position he took during the federal election campaign.

In a video posted to Carney’s social media accounts on Wednesday, he featured smiling images of himself and U.S. President Donald Trump, and of U.S. Marines holding the Canadian flag. “Canada and the United States are stronger when we work together,” Carney says in a narration.

U.S. tariffs begin to squeeze Canada’s labour market, jobless rate rises to 6.9%

Canada lost more than 30,000 manufacturing jobs last month while Windsor saw a jump in its unemployment rate as U.S. tariffs take aim at the automotive sector and feed into economic uncertainty.

Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey on Friday said employment increased by 7,400 nationally, though that figure was padded by an increase in election-related hiring. The overall unemployment rate rose to 6.9 per cent, up from 6.7 per cent in April.

The April jobs figures illustrate how tariffs are beginning to squeeze the Canadian economy, affecting regions and industries most exposed to trade with the United States.

I feel for anyone who has lost their job except for the Liberal Party’s job stealing, medical services swamping, housing shortage causing migrants.

JD Vance reacts to the election of the first American Pope Robert Prevost after scathing anti-Trump posts resurface

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday reacted to the news of the newly elected Pope Robert Prevost, who took the name Leo XIV.

Congratulations to Leo XIV, the first American Pope, on his election!’ the vice president wrote on X. ‘I’m sure millions of American Catholics and other Christians will pray for his successful work leading the Church. May God bless him!’

Vance converted to the Catholic faith in 2019 and was one of the last public officials to meet with Pope Francis before he died.

The US should be worried about Canada’s foreign policy

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 agrees to US trade talks

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.

Would the Left Finally Explain the Inexplicable?

The left broke norms, erased borders, and weaponized justice—not to govern, but to crush Trump and cling to power by any means necessary.

Somewhere between 10 and 12 million illegal aliens were invited into the United States by the Biden administration.

As far as logistics go, Biden could not flee Afghanistan without getting 13 Marines killed and abandoning to the terrorist Taliban $50 billion in munitions, a billion-dollar embassy, and a $300 million retrofitted huge airbase.

But Biden and his handlers proved far more logistically capable when their target was fellow Americans.

Report warns that making nice with Trump is auto sector’s only hope

Despite campaign promises by Prime Minister Mark Carney that Canada can dodge U.S. tariffs with an “all in Canada” auto sector, a new C.D. Howe Institute report claims that the only realistic future for Canadian auto manufacturing is to make nice with the Americans.

“To maintain our manufacturing base, Canada must either exponentially expand its share of the domestic market or achieve healthy sales across the larger North American market,” reads the new report written by Stephen Beatty, the recently retired corporate secretary of Toyota Canada.

I am not hopeful.

Trump fixates on US-Canada border – does he actually want to tear it up?

A

When Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, met with Donald Trump at the White House this week, the notoriously over-prepared former central banker was no doubt expecting to discuss tariffs, trade and defence policy.

But as he sat beside the president, he was instead treated to a discourse on one of Trump’s more recondite fixations: the centuries-old border between Canada and the United States.

“Somebody drew that line many years ago with, like, a ruler – just a straight line right across the top of the country,” he told Carney and the mass of assembled reporters.

Carney in Washington: A Test of Leadership, Failed

Washington—It was supposed to be Mark Carney’s big moment. His first trip to Washington as Prime Minister, the Davos man turned national leader standing toe-to-toe with Donald Trump in the Oval Office. He arrived with a polished script, prepped talking points, and just enough smugness to pass for leadership. But by the time he walked out, it was clear who held the cards—and it wasn’t the man from Ottawa.

Rubio says Venezuelans sheltering at Argentinian embassy ‘rescued’ by US

Five members of Venezuela’s political opposition have left the Argentinian diplomatic compound in their country’s capital, Caracas, where they had sheltered for more than a year to avoid arrest, and were in the United States on Tuesday, the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, said.

Rubio did not provide details of the group’s movements to reach the US, but he described the event as a rescue operation.

The government of the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro, did not immediately comment on the situation.
