Is Canada on Trump’s Hit List? Let’s Do the Math

U.S. President Donald Trump’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his declaration that the United States will now “run” Venezuela are deeply concerning on a number of levels: political, legal and moral.

But we should not forget, either, about the environmental cost of Trump’s plan to ramp up production of Venezuelan oil. Nor should we ignore what Trump’s growing hunger for other countries’ natural resources might mean for Canada in the coming years.

I think it will be a relatively painless and selective annexation if it happens.

The Anti-ICE Signal Chat in Minneapolis Has Reportedly Been Infiltrated…and *That* Name Looks Familiar

Joe wrote about the shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. It was another incident where Democrats screamed bloody murder, the liberal media repeated the same line, and social media was aflame. We don’t know if this was murder or not. We need an investigation, and the state of Minnesota must start cooperating with federal immigration authorities unless they want to create more situations where people get killed. Pretti was armed with a handgun during the kerfuffle that led to him being shot.

Arctic security expert says the world needs to look at Greenland from America’s point of view

Donald Trump says he has a deal in the works for Greenland. And with that revelation, the U.S. president backed off on a threat to hike tariffs on European countries standing in his way.

Proclaiming America’s post-1945 grand bargain is over, Trump insists there’s a price for safety and security in the world — stay tuned.

Trump hasn’t backed off his takeover threats, and Canada’s allies have been readying themselves. What about us?

CAF Makes The Arctic Safe For Sexual Mutilation Fetishists – Watch Out Trump

After the Cold War, Canadians lived under the comfortable delusion that security was a service to be provided by someone else. We treated national defence like a subscription — one we underpaid for, assuming the United States would provide the muscle and our geography the shield.

That era has ended. With U.S. President Donald Trump determined to acquire Greenland, and with talk of Canada’s own annexation becoming dangerously mainstream, we are no longer just a neighbour; we are a target. We are in the midst of a geopolitical crisis, and according to our military’s assessment, we are uniquely vulnerable. This will become especially true when we contribute troops to NATO exercises in Greenland, as we must do.

China’s envoy says Beijing, Ottawa ‘eye to eye’ on supporting Greenland

OTTAWA — China’s envoy to Canada says the two countries “see eye to eye” on the need to support Greenland’s territorial integrity and Beijing wants to play a productive role in the North — even as analysts warn Moscow and Beijing are working together in the region.

“China’s consistent policy is to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. That goes to Greenland, that goes to Canada, and that goes through all the other countries,” Chinese Ambassador Wang Di said through an interpreter this week.

CBC – Deporting illegal alien criminals is just like Nazi Germany!

ICE nodding to far-right extremists in recruitment posts, experts say

At first glance, there may not appear to be anything unusual about the social media posts that are part of the ongoing recruitment drive by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The posts, which encourage Americans to join ICE, use the same aggressively patriotic imagery that’s become a hallmark of the Trump administration’s online communications.

But to observers of the far-right, and to members of the far-right themselves, there is something else that is recognizable in the language of the posts.

“I would describe it as oddly very familiar as someone who has been looking at the white nationalist and neo-Nazi movement for nearly a decade now,” said Hannah Gais, a senior research analyst with the Southern Poverty Law Centre, a non-profit that monitors right-wing extremism.


Any article that cites the extreme left wing hate group Southern Poverty Law Center immediately loses all credibility.

The article is the usual CBC bilge. Patriotism is open borders and criminal illegal aliens running amuck according to the CBC. Deportations are worse than Hitler!

Islamist and ChiCom assets are literally members of our governing party but the CBC is hysterical over a virtually non-existent Nazi threat.

Are they hoping we’ll ignore the well financed, orchestrated violence of the left here and abroad comrade?

Given the CBC is just a bought and paid for LPC propaganda asset I’d say the answer is yes.

Germany urged to repatriate £122bn in gold from Trump’s ‘risky’ America

Storage of reserves must be reassessed because US ‘no longer reliable partner of the EU’, say economists

Germany has been urged to withdraw more than £100bn worth of gold from US vaults because Donald Trump’s unpredictability has made the deposits too “risky”.

The country currently stores 1,236 tons of gold, roughly the same weight as three Air Force One jets, at the US Federal Reserve in New York worth around €164bn (£122bn).

Economists and politicians have warned this leaves the vast wealth exposed to the whim of an increasingly erratic US president, who this month alone has threatened Europe with crippling sanctions over Greenland, burst into Venezuela and captured its president, and is poised to launch air strikes on Iran.


As if the EU was ever reliable on any matter.

US seeks to use Alberta to destabilize Canada

The threat has shifted. While Europeans breathed a sigh of relief at US President Donald Trump’s recent retreat on Greenland, Canada has now become the target. The US administration has set its sights on the province of Alberta, an energy hub in western Canada that accounts for 90% of national oil production. “Alberta is a natural partner for the US,” declared Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on January 22 during his visit to Davos, Switzerland, as if referring to a fully sovereign state. Notably, he was responding to MAGA influencer Jack Posobiec, a prominent Christian nationalist. “People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got,” Bessent noted.

Trump Fires Back at Frey: ‘Mayor and Governor Are Inciting Insurrection’

President Donald J. Trump delivered a forceful rebuke Saturday to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, accusing both leaders of “inciting insurrection” through their handling of the Border Patrol agent‑involved shooting and the violent unrest that followed. In a sharply worded statement, Trump said state and local officials abandoned law enforcement, misled the public about the circumstances of the shooting, and are now attempting to shift blame onto federal agents as chaos engulfs the city.


The Narrative™ Is Being Set on Minneapolis Shooting; Trump: INSURRECTION; Sheriff: National Guard

Few people really know what exactly happened this morning in Minneapolis, and that certainly includes the governor and Mayor of Minneapolis.

Yet both of them started making statements blaming ICE for the shooting of an armed man who was resisting arrest, and seemed to be encouraging the citizens of Minneapolis to attack ICE because they are part of an “invasion” of the state.

WTF?

Can Middle Powers Like Canada Exist Between America and China?

As Donald Trump rampaged about in his first term, leadership of the free world was transferred, by general liberal acclamation, to Angela Merkel of Germany. She was cast as the embodiment of internationalist virtue: prudent, broad-minded, diplomatic, multilateralist and expertise-driven above all.

Then Trump left office, Merkel left office, and suddenly it was possible to notice that her leadership of Germany had been well-nigh disastrous.

The mismanaged eurozone crises that followed the crash of 2008 and her open door to Middle Eastern migrants both contributed mightily to the collapse of the very firewall against far-right parties she was supposedly maintaining. Much worse, she accepted, for enlightened environmentalist reasons, her country’s deindustrialization and an ever-increasing reliance on Russian oil and gas. And when Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine, it suddenly became clear that Merkel’s legacy wasn’t a strong alternative to Trump’s America; it was a weak European core threatened by and dependent upon an authoritarian rival to its east.

While Canada Cozies Up to China, Mexico Imposes Harsh Tariffs Due to Chinese Auto Dumping

In an attempt to figuratively poke Donald Trump and the United States in the eye, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just announced that Canada is cozying up to China by slashing tariffs on imported Chinese EVs. The new tariff rate will be just 6.1 percent, opening up his country to 49,000 Chinese vehicles initially, and increasing to 70,000 in the coming years. China “reciprocated” by dropping the tariff on Canadian canola oil to 15 percent. Carney’s determination to strike a deal with China clearly put the Chinese in a very favorable negotiating position. It would behoove Mr. Carney to have a talk with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum about the perils of economic surrender to China, especially as it relates to Chinese auto imports.

From brutal blitz to guerrilla warfare: Imagining what a U.S. invasion of Canada might look like

There’s “effectively zero” chance the U.S. would invade Canada — but we must prepare for that contingency anyway, experts say.

The U.S. invasion of Canada would likely begin with a brutal blitz, before rising to a defiant insurgency.

Over the course of mere days, a co-ordinated series of surgical strikes by the U.S. military could decapitate Canada’s leadership, cripple its military, compromise key communication channels and paralyze the nation, national defence experts tell the Star.

But despite its early victories, the States would find it near impossible to hold Canada for long — especially if a hostile population decided to resist.


A defiant insurgency? And just who will take that on? The Hindus? The Mohammedans? The Sikhs?

Trump may be on your street soon!

Beijing’s Lying Liberals assure Trump: ‘no pursuit’ of free trade with China, after 100% tariff threat

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal government is pushing back against U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest threat to impose 100 per cent tariffs on all Canadian imports if Ottawa makes a trade deal with China, insisting there is no deal in the works.

After Trump delivered the ultimatum on Saturday, Minister for Canada-U.S. Trade, Dominic LeBlanc, posted a response on X.

So what happened since last week to change Carney’s mind about his New World Order?

Pro-China Networks Amplified Carney’s Beijing Messaging to Attack U.S. Policy, Echoing a 2025 Election Pattern, Analyst Finds

OTTAWA — A social network analysis firm says Chinese state and pro-China accounts amplified Prime Minister Mark Carney’s statements across major Western platforms during his Jan. 14–17 trip to Beijing—praising Canada while using his remarks to criticize U.S. policy toward China—in geopolitical messaging that, Graphika’s data suggest, mirrors a pattern observed prior to the 2025 Canadian general election, when pro-China actors promoted Carney’s stance on U.S. tariffs to advance narratives aligned with China’s strategic goals.
