BREAKING: US launches dozens of ‘precision airstrikes’ in Syria

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Sunday that it has conducted a series of airstrikes in central Syria, targeting ISIS camps and operatives as part of an ongoing effort to combat the terrorist organization.

According to a CENTCOM statement, the operation involved precision strikes on over 75 targets, utilizing multiple Air Force assets, including B-52 bombers, F-15 fighter jets, and A-10 aircraft.

“The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria,” the statement read.

Trump more popular than Trudeau in Canada, survey shows

OTTAWA—As Canadian politicians jockey to position themselves as the best to deal with a mercurial incoming U.S. president Donald Trump, a wary Canadian public is cool to any compromises and supports a tough approach, according to a pair of new polls.

Many Canadians — 40 per cent — are prepared to cut Mexico loose in any trade talks Canada has with the United States, and most — 56 per cent — are not prepared to welcome any influx of migrants fleeing northward to escape Trump’s threatened mass deportation orders, according to an Abacus Data poll over the last week shared with the Star.

Trump Targets Canada With Tariff Threats—and Trolling

Canada and its prime minister, Justin Trudeau, have a Donald Trump problem.

The pair had an at-times rocky relationship during Trump’s first term in the White House, and the president-elect couldn’t resist getting in a dig last week during their impromptu meeting over dinner at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida estate.

Trudeau was complaining about the impact tariffs would have on Canada’s economy, according to people at the dinner, when Trump interjected. If Trudeau didn’t like it, he said, Canada could become America’s 51st state.

Canada has long faced calls to join the U.S.: A short history of saying nope to the American dream

Canada might be America’s staunchest ally, but it’s a relationship many Canadians prefer to keep at arm’s length.

From burning down the White House during the War of 1812 to politicians being branded traitors for growing too cosy with the U.S. in recent decades, Canadians’ at-times rocky relationship with America has become embedded in our national identity.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Trump’s ’51st state’ comment has Trudeau, premiers running in different directions

Canada as the 51st state? Apparently, that’s what U.S. president-elect Donald Trump suggested at his impromptu dinner with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at Mar-a-Lago last Friday.

When Trudeau said Canada couldn’t stomach 25 per cent tariffs, Trump mused about annexation and suggested that while prime minister is a better title, Trudeau could be governor of this 51st state. Sources told Fox News that another guest then suggested that Canada would be a very liberal state, whereupon Trump offered that Canada could be split into a conservative and a liberal state.

The Road Ahead for America and Canada

Under the Trudeau regime, Canada and the U.S. may have been working at cross purposes but that will not be the case after Canada has elected a Conservative government.

When Justin Trudeau was first elected prime minister of Canada in 2015, it was partly because of the sort of empty bombast that had helped get Barak Obama first elected president in 2008. Obama had promised “Hope and Change” while Trudeau promised “Sunny Ways.” By the time Trudeau was first elected, America had already soured on Obama, among other things because of his abysmal economic management, his divisive rhetoric, and his stoking of racism.

Trump’s fentanyl ultimatum puts Canada’s ‘super labs’ under microscope

The growth of illegal Canadian fentanyl production came into focus over the weekend after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump reportedly gave Canadian government leaders a clear impression that the runaway drug problem is his top priority, even in Canada-U.S. relations.

Canada’s China class must be concerned.

What does Donald Trump want from Canada? The after-dinner surprise has yet to be served

We know a lot about that dinner in Mar-a-Lago: Who sat where, what was discussed, the menu (“Mary Trump’s meat loaf,” among other things), and, above all, what made the get together so urgent – namely president-elect Donald Trump’s social media post promising that his first day in office would bring a 25-per-cent tariff on Canadian exports to the United States.

But why is Mr. Trump talking about hitting Canada – the No. 1 buyer of American exports? That’s not at all clear.

So long as Trump continues to humiliate Justin I’m good.

Despite humiliating dinner with Trump, Trudeau is showing leadership

I’m glad Justin Trudeau managed to get face to face with Donald Trump and make the case that Canada shouldn’t be socked with tariffs that would send our economy into a recessionary spin.

Obviously it’s better to talk directly to the Great Khan in his stately Mar-a-Lago pleasure dome than to be left on the outside peeking in. If you’re invited for dinner, of course you go, and you make the very best of it. On the face of it, it must mean something positive that Trump agreed to see the PM so quickly after dropping his tariff bombshell. Doesn’t it?

Meet La Barbie: the Tren de Aragua thug accused of turning a hotel into a sex trafficking empire

After allegedly being imprisoned, beaten and raped, the woman needed help to make it across the lobby of the hotel so she could finally escape.

Emerging into downtown El Paso, court documents state, she made her way to an immigration centre, where she readily admitted to a US Border Patrol agent that she had crossed illegally into the country from Mexico just months earlier.

Some time after arriving in the city in southern Texas, she told investigators, she had been drugged, assaulted, and forced into prostitution by a woman called Estefania Primera.

Canada’s ambassador says Trudeau told Trump the Canadian border can’t be compared to Mexico’s

TORONTO (AP) — Canada’s ambassador to the United States said Sunday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was successful in getting President-elect Donald Trump and key Cabinet nominees to understand that lumping Canada in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants into the U.S. is unfair.

Kirsten Hillman, Canada’s ambassador in Washington, told The Associated Press in an interview that Trudeau’s dinner with Trump on Friday was a very important step in trying to get Trump to back away from threatened tariffs on all products from the major American trading partner.

Opening CAIR’s Books

A court case might finally reveal if the Council of American-Islamic Relations has been the recipient of terrorist funding.

The Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has long been suspected of receiving funding from terrorist groups and terror-supporting countries. Now, a federal magistrate has ruled that it must open its donor files and books on its assets as part of a discovery request in a lawsuit by a former employee.
