OTTAWA — The deal that was supposed to delay a Canada-U.S. trade war appeared to be cracking on Monday, as officials watched to see whether President Donald Trump would be making good on his threat of imposing 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
While aboard Air Force One on his way to Sunday’s Super Bowl, Trump announced he would be unveiling the trade levies Monday and they would include steel and aluminum imports coming from Canada and Mexico.
” TDS is just a giant excuse not to look in the mirror. This is the only way for Canadians to keep their sanctimonious moral superiority intact.”
Suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) may not be a requirement to appear among the pseudo-patriots on the Laurentian media, but it surely helps. Led by the premier of Ontario, our new Captain Canada, the amount of defamatory rubbish hurled in the direction of Donald J. Trump and his administration was exceeded only by the venomous criticism of anyone, especially if Canadian, who tried to understand (and not necessarily to defend) the Americans’ perspective on Canada.
TORONTO — U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is employing disinformation to further its goals, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told business leaders in a closed-door meeting Friday, according to leaked audio obtained by The Logic. Trudeau also said that protecting democracy doesn’t seem to be a top priority for the new U.S. administration.
The current U.S. administration are “prolific users of the tools of misinformation and disinformation for political purposes,” Trudeau said during a question and answer session at the Canada-U.S. Economic Summit in Toronto, noting “all the tech bros were sitting in the front row of the inauguration.”
Protecting Democracy? That’s rich coming from Tinpot Trudeau.
Charlie Angus was driving down Northern Ontario’s Highway 11 and his signal kept dropping. But he was still on a roll.
The New Democratic MP was on CNN the night before comparing U.S. President Donald Trump to “Al Capone in his syphilitic period.” He’d been on social media urging Canadians to boycott U.S. products. The response was emphatic.
I will not buy in to a Liberal-Left pseudo-patriotism that is about deflecting from the Trudeau regime’s destruction of Canada.
Although it’s not considered polite to say it, Canada has never really been an independent country. Not quite.
A reading of a new book on Canada’s military history tells us this without meaning to. David Borys’s “Punching Above Our Weight” offers a comprehensive account of Canada’s military entanglements from Confederation to Afghanistan, and beyond.
The “Tariff Wars” have begun.
China’s State Council Tariff Commission released a list of 72 items that would fall under the 10% tariffs. Much of that list was related to agriculture, including several types of tractors, harvesters and other large pieces of farming equipment.
The list of U.S. imports that will be subject to 15% tariffs was far shorter, listing just eight types of coal and natural gas.
U.S. President Donald Trump has slapped 25 per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminum — including Canada — according to Reuters.
I can’t help but think this wouldn’t be happening if Trudeau was removed from any responsibility or dealings with the USA and Canada.
Heads Are Going to Explode When DOGE Cancels This Boondoggle
Boeing Vice President David Dutcher warned workers on the company’s Space Launch System (SLS) to prepare for layoffs on Friday if NASA finally cancels the rocket providing lift for the Artemis lunar program. The political fallout could make heads explode.
Eric Burger has the details on Dutcher’s emergency all-hands meeting, but they aren’t all that interesting. What is interesting is what happens when and if a team led by SpaceX founder Elon Musk tries to cancel a multibillion-dollar project led by Boeing.
Canada’s ambassador to France says he’s against U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to take over Greenland, saying “in order to respect international law, you don’t threaten your neighbours by invasion.”
Stéphane Dion, who is also the special envoy to Europe and the European Union, says threatening a country’s sovereignty is not “normal”. Trump is also continuing to push for Canada to become America’s 51st state.
“You know that according to international law it’s not only to invade a neighbour that’s against international law in the charter of the UN, it is to threaten,” he said. “So we’re against that.”
President Donald Trump has said he is “committed to buying and owning” the Gaza Strip and relocating the two million Palestinians living there, despite global condemnation of the plan he unveiled last week.
He told reporters that he might allow Middle East countries to be involved in rebuilding parts of the territory and that he would make sure the Palestinian refugees would “live beautifully”.
Both the Palestinian Authority and the armed group Hamas, whose 16-month war with Israel has caused widespread devastation in Gaza, reiterated that Palestinian land was “not for sale”.
President Trump on Sunday argued that if Canada were to join the United States, it would be the greatest thing the neighbors to the north could do.
“I love the people of Canada. We have a great relationship, but if they became our 51st state, it would be the greatest thing they could ever do,” Trump told reporters. “And think of how beautiful that country would be without that artificial line running right through it. Somebody drew it many years ago with a ruler, just a line.”
With so many comments now, I think we can all say Trump is serious that he wants Canada to be part of the US.
Why though?
He lays out his thinking here.
Us not acting like a serious country for the last decade has put us in this spot.
Time to grow up!

The premiers of Ontario and Alberta are urging Ottawa to swiftly appoint a “fentanyl czar,” a key condition of the 30-day tariff reprieve granted by the United States.
“Americans and the Trump administration are saying, secure our border. My question again to Prime Minister Trudeau, where is the fentanyl czar?” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said during a Feb. 8 press conference in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
It has been a full week since U.S. President Donald Trump and the Canadian government reached a border security agreement that included a 30-day window to demonstrate our nation’s commitment to securing our shared border against fentanyl trafficking and illegal migration.

We are living in the most historically significant moment since the fall of the Soviet Union. The shift in global power away from the United States has reached the point where the payoff that comes from “running the world” is no longer worth the cost. In upending how it engages in the world, the United States has declared: “We’re out.”
In the post-America world, to borrow Fareed Zakaria’s expression, the United States will be much less burdened by the constraints and costs that come from global leadership. Yet given its commitment to remaining the world’s most powerful state, it will not retreat into isolationism. It will engage in international affairs in ways that privilege its core national interests over those of its allies and partners, for whom there will be no more “special deals.”
President Donald Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday he doesn’t think the president has “any plans to invade Canada.”
His remarks follow multiple reports that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a closed-door meeting of business leaders last week that the Trump administration “keep[s] talking about absorbing us and making us the 51st state.”
On Sunday, Waltz added that many Canadians “do not like the last 10 years of liberal, progressive governance in Trudeau.”
Despite being surrounded by the debris of an ongoing civil war, Mogadishu’s residents in the early 1990s embraced the moments of serenity.
The warm Sunday sunshine and cooling ocean breeze made for the perfect opportunity for Binti Ali Wardhere, 24 at the time, to visit relatives with her mother.
“That day was calm,” she remembers.
But like everyone else in the city she was unaware that the Americans were getting ready to attack warlord Mohamed Farah Aideed – and what happened would change her life forever.
