How Communist China Does Your Thinking for You

When China talks about winning without fighting, it essentially means without us fighting back. And that comes down to getting into our heads and disabling us from the inside.

On November 28, 2020, Di Dongsheng, vice dean of the School of International Relations at Renmin University in Beijing, gave a videotaped lecture in which he said:

Why did China and the U.S. used to be able to settle all kinds of issues between 1992 and 2016? It’s just because we have people at the top. We have our old friends who are at the top of America’s core inner circle of power and influence . . . for the past thirty years, forty years, we have been utilizing the core power of the United States.

Derek Burney: Maybe Trudeau should name a special rapporteur for better U.S. relations

The Biden state visit to Ottawa was undoubtedly a welcome respite from more pressing challenges both leaders face on the home front. While the words were felicitous, and even though the two leaders share similar views on climate change, Ukraine and China, along with popular cultural fads of the moment, tangible bilateral dividends were limited.

Canadians view own country favourably but many unsure about Canada’s system of government: survey

A recent study by the Angus Reid Institute found Canadians view their country more positively than Americans do — but only a slight majority of people in Canada believe their system of government is good.

The results of the online survey, released Thursday, show 78 per cent of Canadians view their country as caring, compared to 36 per cent of Americans who said the same about the U.S.

Eighty-nine per cent of Canadians say they live in a safe country, while 43 per cent of Americans say they do.

America is being consumed by a terrifying new madness

New York has been in a strange fever this past week, awaiting the imminent arrest of former president Trump. Or at least we were told that it was imminent. Trump himself told his followers that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday. But Tuesday came and went and no arrest happened. The media was camped outside the state courthouse downtown, and on a street parallel to Trump Tower row upon row of police cars and security service vehicles loitered, waiting.

The Growing Power of the China-Iran Alliance Thanks to the Biden Administration

Thanks to the extremely dubious leadership of the Biden Administration, Iran and China have become more empowered and emboldened than ever. The Chinese Communist Party and the ruling Islamist mullahs of Iran have been conveniently violating US sanctions without facing any consequences from the Biden administration.

Asylum seekers continue to enter Canada through Roxham Road crossing after Biden, Trudeau amend pact

Asylum seekers warned by police they could be sent back continued to walk into Canada through the unofficial United States border crossing into Quebec at Roxham Road a day after the two countries amended a 20-year-old asylum pact trying to stem the influx.

Closing Roxham Road will lead to ‘humanitarian catastrophes,’ for their pocketbooks immigration experts warn

Quebec immigration experts say closing Roxham Road to asylum seekers may go against Canada’s international obligations and could result in more deaths at the border, after an already deadly year.

Two men died attempting to cross the Canadian border within two months of each other.

The first, 43-year-old Fritznel Richard, was trying to reach his family in Florida in time for the holidays. His body was found in early January. The second, Jose Leos Cervantes, 45, was also heading into the United States on Feb. 19, and collapsed just as U.S. border patrollers approached him and the two people he was with, shortly after they had made it into Vermont.

Death by misadventure is no reason to make Canada a doormat.

Canada to speed up NORAD upgrades, give $100-million to Haitian police

Canada will speed up deployment of a new high-tech radar system to upgrade North American air defences and retrofit military bases to accommodate the new American-made warplane that Ottawa is buying, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced during U.S. President Joe Biden’s visit to Canada Friday.

The announcements form part of a deepening of economic and defence ties between the United States and Canada laid out in a joint statement during the President’s visit – Mr. Biden’s first trip to this country since he took power in 2021. They build on Canada’s 2022 commitment to help modernize North American Aerospace Defence Command and address the growing threat posed by hypersonic missiles and advanced cruise missile technology developed by Russia and China.

Biden is Preparing Americans To Lose the Second Cold War

Vladimir Putin’s approval rating is 82%. Joe Biden’s is 42%. Xi Jinping’s is anyone’s guess, but the Chinese near-unanimously trust their government. More than half of Russians trust their government. Less than a third of Americans trust theirs. These statistics are not random but speak to America’s imminent loss in this, the Second Cold War.
