Carney failed to give a credible response to US proposal for a collective North American defence pact says Pentagon official

WASHINGTON – A high-ranking U.S. defence official says the Pentagon gave Ottawa a classified paper laying out priorities for a collective North American defence pact with Canada, but that Ottawa did not deliver a “credible” response.

That lack of response is just one of several irritants the senior Pentagon official said is creating a rift in North American defence co-operation. Canada’s delayed decision around the procurement of F-35 fighter jets was also cited as a source of frustration.

The official from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration briefed a small group of mostly Canadian journalists this week on background in order to speak more candidly about Canada-U.S. relations.

Carney’s negotiating strategy seems to be about making Canada a pariah state to all but China and perhaps North Korea.

Trump taunts Greenland with fresh hint at mooted invasion

President Donald Trump has once again floated his controversial Greenland land-grab plans with a dramatic social media post showing himself looming over the Arctic island.

The AI-generated image, shared on Friday evening, featured Trump peering over the Danish territory’s mountains and colorful villages beneath the words: ‘Hello, Greenland!’

Ill-gotten gains

“Let’s go to where I stabbed this dude,” Robert Rundo tells the camera outside a convenience store in Queens, N.Y., wearing a backward hat and sunglasses as he aggressively chews gum.

In the short propaganda video for his California-based Rise Above Movement, which was posted in February, the native New Yorker is almost gleeful as he recalls the moment. In a detailed play-by-play of this “street warfare” incident, he describes how, in 2009, he battered and stabbed an alleged member of a Salvadoran-American street gang known as MS-13 over a territory dispute in his childhood neighbourhood. The camera shakes while the 36-year-old delivers his stand-up; the footage, which appears digitally altered to look gritty, is interspersed with images of him doing pull-ups with his shirt off and boxing in a gym. The video’s bland title, “Where I’m From: White Working Class Queens,” gives the game away in its opening text: “A fascist in the concrete jungle.” “Fascist” is clearly not meant derogatorily.

In Canada the CBC and its hate group allies have lead the moral panic over “Active Clubs” because it’s racist for White people to associate with one another.

‘Canada is handing people over to ICE’: refugees rejected at border face US detention

As each day in US detention passes, Markens Appolon can feel the life he had dreamed of slipping away.

The 25-year-old fled Haiti to escape the rampant gang violence that upended his university studies in economics, and planned to join family in Montreal.

But for the last four and a half months, Appolon has been incarcerated in a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. He wonders how he would even begin to rebuild, if he is released.

Imagine that, Canada did the right thing. Pic from here.

All but 3 of 6,069 refugees taken in by Trump are White South Africans

All but three of the 6,069 refugees taken in by the United States since October are White South Africans, according to state department statistics.

At the beginning of Donald Trump’s second presidency, he restricted general refugee admissions to the US, but carved out highly specific, large-scale exceptions for Afrikaner refugees.

The US president accused Pretoria of carrying out a “genocide” against white Afrikaner farmers, claims strongly rejected by the South African government.

During a White House visit in May last year, Mr Trump ambushed Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of South Africa, with videos apparently showing the persecution of white South Africans within the country.

Ivanka Trump targeted for assassination by IRGC terrorist in twisted plot to avenge president taking out his mentor: sources

First Daughter Ivanka Trump was targeted for assassination by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist in a twisted plot to avenge the president taking out his mentor, The Post has learned.

Recently captured Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, made a “pledge” to kill Ivanka and even had a blueprint of her Florida home, sources claimed.

The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting President Donald Trump’s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a US drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.

Illegals Are Killing America

On April 3, a 51-year-old woman was murdered by a man wielding a hammer as she exited a Chevron gas station in Ft. Myers, Florida. The attack was captured on video, and from the video, it appears that the woman didn’t realize until the last second what was happening. It was too unexpected. The victim had undoubtedly exited that gas station, where she reportedly worked as a clerk, dozens if not hundreds of times before and felt secure. In the video, she shows no sign of apprehension, but as long as anyone like her killer is at large in America, none of us is completely safe from this kind of unexpected attack.

Xi Warned US Not to Fall Into ‘Thucydides Trap.’ What’s That Mean?

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for the Daily Signal.

Recently, at the U.S.-China summit in Beijing, Premier Xi [Jinping] mentioned that he hoped that both parties, the United States and China, could avoid the Thucydides Trap.

What did that mean? It refers to a book and an article by the well-known political scientist Graham Allison.

I learned how to pronounce Thucydides and that the “trap” is a flawed analysis.

Deep in the blackouts, desperate Cubans say: We want deal with Trump

On a street called “Perseverance” in the heart of central Havana, patience has run out. Its warren of homes, crammed behind the façades of once-grand mansions, have been without electricity for all but a few hours of the past two weeks. Most of its residents have moved from the stifling indoors to the marginally cooler pavement outside. There, they are letting their frustration rip.

“Come on Trump, just send the ships and end this shit,” said one, a rake-thin man who gave his name as Rafael. His neighbours appeared taken aback by such open dissidence, but none bothered to argue with him. “We want a deal with Trump. No war,” said a woman called Odalys, as she fed her baby.

Sell Arms to Taiwan Now: China Is Bluffing

“The Taiwan question is the most important issue in China-U.S. relations,” Xi Jinping told President Donald Trump during their summit this month, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning. “If it is handled properly, the bilateral relationship will enjoy overall stability. Otherwise, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, putting the entire relationship in great jeopardy.”

“The Taiwan Question,” according to China’s embassy in Washington, is the first of “the four red lines” in China-U.S. relations that “must not be challenged.”

The People’s Republic of China, however, is bluffing.

Pentagon doubles down on Canada rebuke with demand for NATO spending road map, F-35 decision – proposed Carignan NATO makeover threatened

The Pentagon wants to see Canada articulate a clear plan on how the country intends to meet NATO’s new military spending benchmark before resuming binational defence planning co-operation.

The absence of a plan to spend 3.5 per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product on the military, plus an additional 1.5 per cent of GDP on defence infrastructure, appears to be at the heart of this week’s suspension of the U.S.–Canada Permanent Joint Board on Defence (PJBD).

Senior Pentagon officials, speaking on background Thursday to mostly Canadian journalists, also cited the absence of a decision on whether to proceed with the full purchase of American-made F-35 fighter jets as another major irritant.

Rubio tries to reassure Nato allies over US troop deployments

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has tried to reassure allies over US decisions on troop deployments in Europe.

Rubio’s intervention at the end of a Nato foreign ministers’ meeting in Sweden came after President Donald Trump said the US would send an extra 5,000 troops to Poland.

That decision was a week after a planned deployment of 4,000 troops to the country was cancelled and days after an announcement that US troops would be pulled out of Germany.

US baseball team’s charter bus torched near Winnipeg Goldeyes stadium

The visiting Kane County Cougars clobbered the Winnipeg Goldeyes earlier this week on the field, but they took a big loss Thursday morning just outside Blue Cross Park.

The team’s charter bus, parked in a lot across William Stephenson Way, was set ablaze at around 2 a.m., said police, who arrested two people.

Rubio says Cuba is threat to US as Havana accuses him of ‘lies’

Cuba poses a “national security threat” to the US and the likelihood of a peaceful agreement is “not high”, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said.

His comments come just a day after the US charged Cuba’s former president Raúl Castro with murder over the 1996 downing of two planes resulting in the killing of US nationals.

Rubio said Washington’s preference was “a diplomatic solution” but warned that President Donald Trump had the right and obligation to protect his country against any threat.

Canadian regulator triples US streamers’ financial contributions to Canadian content

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Large online streaming services must contribute 15% of their Canadian revenues to Canadian content, the country’s federal broadcast regulator said Thursday.

That figure is three times the 5% initial contribution requirement the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, CRTC, set out in 2024, which is being challenged in court by U.S.-based major streamers, including Apple, Amazon and Spotify.

The CRTC made the decision as part of its implementation of the Online Streaming Act, which the U.S. has identified as a trade irritant ahead of trade negotiations with Canada.

Thanks Carney, you sure a master negotiator.
