Iran has its “fingers on the trigger” and is ready to respond to another attack from the United States, the regime’s foreign minister has warned, in an escalation of the standoff between the two countries.
The threat came after President Trump declared that Tehran must abandon its nuclear programme or face a “far worse” attack than the strike on its uranium enrichment facilities in June last year.
The Department of Homeland Security in the past year has arrested multiple illegal aliens it says have known ties to terrorist organizations, including ISIS and al-Qaeda.
According to the agency, the illegal aliens include members of al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Islamic Republic Guard Corps of Iran, and MS-13, which President Donald Trump designated a foreign terrorist organization when he returned to office.
“Just a year ago, under [President] Joe Biden, our border was wide open, and criminals, gang members, and terrorists were released into our communities,” Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary, stated.
The fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti have led to increased calls to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other illegal immigration enforcement operations. Liberals, Democrats, and others on the Left, combined with the socialist and communist organizations organizing and funding anti-ICE protests nationwide, have escalated their attacks on ICE — verbally and physically, calling them murderers, among other insults. And while criticism continues to mount, it is important to recognize truth and fact because while Good’s and Pretti’s deaths were unfortunate, Democrats’ immigration policies have caused more violence and murders than anything ICE has done.
The pointlessness of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has been highlighted once again by the United States’ attempt to take Greenland from NATO ally Denmark. This reflects the deepening conflict between NATO’s main sponsor, the US, and its main beneficiaries in Europe.
“Russia is without question a threat in the Arctic,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said this month at the World Economic Forum in Davos. “Without question, Russia does lots of horrible things.”
Russia, despite all the horrible things it does, is not able to challenge Canada without its partner. Carney was quick to name China as the biggest security threat to his country during a federal election debate last April. At Davos, however, he was not willing to talk about China posing a danger to his country.
Moreover, his foreign affairs minister was similarly reluctant. Anita Anand in Davos did not name names when reporters asked her to cite the top threat facing Canada.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is facing a backlash after saying that the European Union should “keep on dreaming” about becoming independent from the United States, its largest ally, in matters related to security and defence.
His comments came on the heels of US President Donald Trump’s attempt to seize Greenland from Denmark through punitive measures, an unprecedented dispute that brought the nearly 80-year-old transatlantic alliance to the brink of collapse.
The Trump administration is once again ramping up its rhetorical pressure on Canada, with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issuing a fresh warning to Prime Minister Mark Carney over looming trade negotiations.
Bessent was at an event in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to launch what U.S. President Donald Trump has dubbed “Trump Accounts,” an investment vehicle for children.

Andrew, since you work for a newspaper, you should ask for the transcripts of the call with the Prime Minister’s Office. There are two conflicting versions, and the PMO is notorious for not being fully forthcoming—especially when it comes to the United States. Counter-tariffs are… https://t.co/5gomaHTGCb

Mexico has cancelled a shipment of oil to Cuba, the country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, appeared to confirm on Tuesday, but she insisted the decision was “sovereign” and not a response to pressure from the US.
Fuel shortages are causing increasingly severe blackouts in Cuba, and Mexico has been the island’s biggest oil supplier since the US blocked shipments from Venezuela last month.
On Monday, Bloomberg reported that Pemex, Mexico’s state oil company, had “backtracked” on plans to send a much-needed delivery to Cuba this month.
In his “rupture” speech delivered at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney lamented the (apparent) breakdown of the rules-based international order and praised a “new world order” to come. He repeated former Czech president Václav Havel’s admonition against “living in the lie.” The irony was obvious as he proceeded to articulate, as James Albers writes in the Western Standard, “an address saturated with contradictions, misdirection, and half-truths.” In effect, he transformed Havel’s anti-communist warning into what amounts to a pro-communist exhortation.
First, American forces would strike with poison gas munitions, seizing a strategically valuable port city. Soldiers would sever undersea cables, destroy bridges and rail lines to paralyze infrastructure. Major cities on the shores of lakes and rivers would be captured in order to blunt any civilian resistance.
The multipronged invasion would rely on ground forces, amphibious landing and then mass internments. According to the architects of the plan, the attack would be short-lived and the besieged country would fall within days.
The target was Canada, part of a classified 1930 strategy – War Plan Red – for a hypothetical war with Great Britain where the US would seek to deny it any foothold in North America.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has “nothing to do with” a contract held by a Brampton-based defence manufacturer to supply U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with armoured vehicles.
Ford made the comment during a news conference on Tuesday morning after he was asked about criticism of the deal between Roshel and the U.S. government.
His response came after NDP Leader Marit Stiles released a statement “calling for an end” to Ontario manufacturing contracts with ICE in the wake of the shooting of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota this month.
What the civil war in Minneapolis is really about.
Why are at least two people dead and multiple federal law enforcement officers injured?
What broader principle are Democrats, liberals and leftists rioting over in Minneapolis?
In 1935, American author Sinclair Lewis published It Can’t Happen Here, a dystopian novel about the rise of a populist demagogue named Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, who becomes the U.S. president after cultivating a cult following for his nationalism, anti-elitism, and quixotic promises. Windrip was fixated on restoring domestic production of material goods and hated the press.
This is a lazy, silly little screed pumped out by one of Canada’s leading purveyors of TDS – the Globe.
Trump is always Hitler while the well orchestrated violence of the left is brushed aside as “democracy”.
The left’s insane rejoicing over Charlie Kirk’s murder, the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and the Liberal-Left’s normalized calls to violence are conveniently forgotten because Trump is Hitler don’t ya know.
After a never ending smear campaign it’s no wonder Trump hates the press.
Even poor students of history can see what’s happening to the press.

I regret to inform you that it is necessary to pay attention to Steve Bannon because he has plans for Canada and, unfortunately, he has repeatedly shown that he can make bad things happen.
Bannon will go down in history as the man who discovered the power of the “sh*tpost,” and who showed that an online army of incels and trolls could be a potent source of political power.
He has now turned his attention to Alberta, and if his plan succeeds, the Stars and Stripes will end up flying over our heads, as Trump desires.
The Star is hyperventilating again.
The left proclaimed outrage at the death of Renee Good, the anti-ICE agitator who was shot after she appeared to have struck a federal agent with the vehicle she was driving. The left did so again after the death of Alex Pretti.
