I have to say that was one of the best hours I’ve ever had glued to the tube.
We watch Jesse Watters every night – he really is pretty entertaining – but we had no idea that the little secret assignment he’d alluded to when explaining his absence was going to make for such an informative, infuriating, and inspiring installment of his show.
Prime Minister Mark Carney was elected after running a campaign heavily focused on saying U.S. President Donald Trump poses an existential threat to Canada, but it remains to be seen whether this messaging will continue now that the election has passed.
The Liberals tapped heavily into rising nationalist sentiment in Canada, caused by Trump’s talk of making the country the 51st U.S. state and by the imposition of three different sets of tariffs on its largest trading partner.
The victory-party din for Mark Carney and his Liberal Party had only just faded when Donald Trump chimed in with a less than ringing endorsement of the winners.
“It was the one that hated Trump, I think, the least that won,” the US president said on Wednesday of Carney, whose party had just retained power by winning a near outright majority of the seats in Canada’s general election.
The Canadian prime minister may accept being the lesser of two evils in Trump’s mind, however. The US president also said that he thinks the former Bank of England governor “couldn’t have been nicer” in the first post-election phone conversation.
The left’s latest manufactured martyr just got exposed as exactly what conservatives suspected he is all along. Newly released body cam footage shows Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal immigrant whom Democrats have been desperately trying to paint as just an innocent “Maryland dad,” was stopped in 2022 under suspicion of human trafficking.
He confirmed he will meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday.
Carney won Canada. Saving the country from Trump won’t be so easy
Mark Carney has engineered one of the most unlikely victories in political history, saving Canada’s Liberal Party from near oblivion and going from the outskirts of politics to prime minister in a matter of months.
But the former Bank of England governor’s biggest challenge still lies ahead: protecting Canada’s economy from Donald Trump.
Mr Trump has repeatedly claimed Canada will become the “cherished 51st state” and levied heavy tariffs on the US’s northern neighbour. In his victory speech Carney said Trump “is trying to break us so America can own us. That will never happen.”
The House voted Thursday to block California from enforcing a rule that would ban sales of new gasoline-powered cars in the state by 2035.
Lawmakers voted 246-164 to pass a resolution targeting the rule, which ranks as one of the nation’s most ambitious policies aimed at combating climate change and promoting electric vehicles. However, it is unclear whether the Senate will follow suit and send the measure to President Donald Trump’s desk.
In forging ahead with the vote, House Republicans sidestepped legal opinions from two nonpartisan watchdogs. The Senate parliamentarian and the Government Accountability Office have concluded that Congress lacks the legal authority to prevent states from enforcing such climate rules.
Hey, MSNBC, are you hiring? I ask because I can write your story on this for you. Here you go, this one’s on the house: “The Trump White House’s shameful removal of 4,000 foreign students from the country is yet another blot on the record of this administration, which in just 100 days has proven to be a legal, political and moral disaster. Selfless and hard-working intellectuals of color from non-racist countries potentially sacrificed their future to grace this systemically racist, xenophobic, paranoid nation with their presence, only to be unceremoniously expelled by a white supremacist megalomaniac who is threatening our democracy today even more severely than he did last week. Now who will commit the crimes for us that Americans do not want to commit?”
It‘s been an election defined by the trade war and washed in nationalism. At every turn, Liberal Leader Mark Carney played up the threat of U.S. President Donald Trump and his own strength and firmness in the face of that.
Mr. Carney arguably won the election as a result. One survey, on which leader can better take on Mr. Trump, showed Mr. Carney with a nearly 40-percentage-point lead over the Conservatives’ Pierre Poilievre. Mr. Trump has called Mr. Carney a “very nice gentleman” and brushed off his campaign rhetoric. But fresh with a new mandate, Prime Minister Carney seems tempted to deliver on his words and escalate the fight.

As Mark Carney closed out his victory speech on election night, he reminded Canadians — as he did through much of the campaign — of the challenges posed by the ongoing tensions with the U.S. administration.
“We will build an independent future for our great country,” he said to the crowd. “Vive le Canada.”
But after touting himself as the best candidate to handle U.S. President Donald Trump, Carney’s Liberals lost key seats on the front lines of the trade war — seats that, had they won, could have pushed the party into majority territory.
People know Carney is a carpetbagger.

So much for elbows up.
But not surprising Donald Trump praises Mark Carney.
After all, Carney sold out our jobs to Trump and he’ll do it again.

When Alberto Salagan was deported from the US in January it was the first time he’d stepped foot in Mexico since he was a baby.
Born in the coastal resort of Acapulco, his parents took him to the US when he was just six months old.
Growing up in California, he was seduced by the false glamour of gang life.
It was a wholesale rebuke of Donald Trump. But Republicans are shrugging off the Canadian election results — a race that favored conservatives until it became a referendum on the president — as a warning sign for their party.
The cementing of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party into power on Monday served as an expression of Canadians’ deeply felt anger about the president’s tariffs and annexation taunts. It was evidence of an electorate turning against conservatives in a neighboring country — one Trump has suggested should be the 51st state — when Trump became involved. But on this side of the border, GOP strategists, pollsters and party leaders said they were unbothered by the outcome and dismissed any trouble that may lie ahead for Republicans in the midterms.

Did Trump actually want the globalist candidate to win?
Canada’s Liberal Party, which appeared headed for certain defeat earlier this year, trounced the opposition in Monday’s elections.
This story’s exclamation point, if not the buried lede, involves Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre. He went from the man who would be prime minister to the unemployment line in a matter of months.
It’s what he wanted …
No wonder Trump wanted Carney as Canada’s PM.

Automaker Stellantis is set to shift some vehicle production and revamp its parts supply lines to avoid paying tariffs in the United States.
The maker of Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat and other brands plans to move some pick-up truck production to Michigan from Mexico, and is talking with parts suppliers about transferring output to U.S. facilities to boost the American content in its vehicles and dodge the levies, said Doug Ostermann, chief financial officer of the Netherlands-based automaker.
We sorta dodged a bullet this go round.
