Nearly a fifth of Americans now ‘prefer’ that Canada become a U.S. state or territory, poll suggests

17 per cent of Americans support Canada becoming either a territory or the 51st State of the U.S. — but two-thirds stand by its sovereignty, a new poll suggests.

The findings come amid U.S. President Donald Trump‘s ambitions to seize Greenland, a self-governing territory of fellow NATO member Denmark, after capturing former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and toppling his government earlier this month.

But according to the survey by public opinion pollster Research Co., most respondents don’t want the U.S. to take over Greenland. Nor do they want Panama, Cuba or Mexico under American control.

This time, Trump’s threats to Europe look deadly serious

Some hope his moves on Greenland are a ploy to force Europe to take Arctic security seriously. That seems highly optimistic

Never before has a Truth Social post generated such anger and fear across the European continent. The message: Europe’s largest economies will have to pay an additional 10pc tariff, rising to 25pc in June, until Greenland is part of the United States. On Monday, the author, Donald Trump, reiterated the threat and vowed that he was 100pc committed to executing it if Washington’s European allies didn’t get with the programme.

EU is splintering

Europe is headed for another civil war. They had two in the previous century, the Great War (rebranded later as World War I) and World War II. This one splits the East from the West as the Eastern countries trapped by communism under the Soviet Union do not want to be part of the Western countries foolishly chasing communism and embracing the Muslim invasion.

Joe Varner: Praising Beijing’s ‘new world order’ a costly misstep for Carney — and Canada

Prime Minister Mark Carney did not misspeak in Beijing. He chose his words carefully, and therein lies a severe problem.

When a Canadian prime minister praises the idea of a “new world order” while sitting in China, he is not engaging in neutral diplomacy. He is endorsing language that carries an extremely specific meaning in Beijing and an unmistakable warning signal in Washington. For a country whose security and prosperity depend on solidarity with the United States, with whom it has had a historically challenging relationship, Carney’s comments carry significant risk, if not real damage.

WHAT HAPPENED: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged to put “boots on the ice” in Greenland in defense of Danish sovereignty in the territory in a speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) summit in Davos, Switzerland, where he also urged the world’s “middle powers” to combine against the U.S.

Minn. officials, including Walz and Frey, accused of hindering ICE, served with grand jury subpoenas by FBI

The FBI has served Minnesota officials including Gov. Tim Walz, attorney general Keith Ellison and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey with grand jury subpoenas for allegedly conspiring to hinder ICE operations in the state, according to FOX reports.

The subpoenas are requesting “records and communications” from the officials, according to FOX News, as anti-ICE protests roil the Twin Cities nearly two weeks after Renee Good was shot by an agent after she clipped him with her SUV.

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion … DEI DO OR DIE!

The Canadian Armed Forces have modelled a hypothetical U.S. military invasion of Canada and the country’s potential response, which includes tactics similar to those employed against Russia and later U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan, two senior government officials say.

It is believed to be the first time in a century that the Canadian Armed Forces have created a model of an American assault on this country, a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a partner with the U.S. in continental air defence.

Does Europe still have an ally in America?

European politicians had little rest this weekend after Donald Trump’s announcement on Saturday that he would be imposing punitive tariffs on the eight countries that had sent troops to Greenland last week. From 1 February, 10 per cent tariffs will be slapped on goods entering the United States from Britain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Finland. They had, Trump said, ‘journeyed to Greenland for purposes unknown’ and he accused them of playing a ‘very dangerous game’.

What’s Really Causing the Minnesota ‘Insurrection’?

Great Walz Of China

Immigration enforcement poses an existential threat to Tim Walz and to Democrats nationwide.

The immigration-related drama in Minnesota took a foreboding turn over the weekend when it was reported that the Pentagon had alerted two battalions of the 11th Airborne Division, based in Alaska, to be prepared for possible deployment. That move followed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s mobilization of the state’s National Guard — “on standby” — to deal with the escalating violence against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Finance minister says Canada will not pay $1B US if it joins Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said on Tuesday that Ottawa does not plan to pay the $1-billion US price tag for a permanent seat on U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” that will oversee the governance and reconstruction of Gaza.

“There [are] a lot of details to be worked out, but one thing which is clear is that Canada is not going to pay if we were to join the Board of Peace,” Champagne told reporters Tuesday morning on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Carney would rather give your tax dollars to UNWRA.

Canada must stand with Europe in its defence of Greenland if we know what’s good for us

NATO is facing one of its gravest internal crises since its founding, and Canada is facing its own moment of truth.

President Donald Trump’s demand that Denmark hand over Greenland to the United States goes far beyond his late-night posts on Truth Social. It is a deadly serious attempt by the alliance’s dominant power to carve up the territory of a fellow NATO member.

This is not the first time NATO has been shaken by internal division. But unlike past crises, this one strikes at the very rule that has underpinned Western security for 80 years: that borders are not revised by coercion.

I’m just not buying the elite narrative that I should defend their right to abuse us as serfs just because they’ve wrapped themselves in the flag.

I won’t be signing up to fight for open borders, depressed wages, unaffordable everything and precarious access to medical care even if they throw in a shitty ChiCom EV.

Why Trump will beat divided Europe and weak Britain over Greenland

Britain and Europe appear hopelessly weak in the face of Donald Trump’s threats over Greenland.

European efforts to calm the mercurial US president’s desire for the Arctic island with a joint military mission to the region have backfired.

Mr Trump is now warning that he will hit the UK and its European allies with tariffs unless Denmark sells him Greenland.

John Ivison: MAGA has its sights on Alberta

Steve Bannon is in the ratings business these days, so he can say outrageous things with impunity.

On his influential War Room podcast last week, he talked about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s “kowtowing” visit to China and said: “Let me be blunt, you are playing with fire. You will rue the day you did that. President (Donald) Trump is not just going to let the Chinese Communist Party become an active strategic partner up there. It’s not going to happen.”

Ivison is an Elbow person pass it on.

Canada was a good country.

Now it’s just an ATM for an elite that  seeks to criminalize citizens for simply being.

Trump leaks texts, threatens Macron and trashes Starmer

Donald Trump has published private messages from European leaders after threatening to impose new tariffs on several EU countries over his demand to purchase Greenland.

In one, Emmanuel Macron pleaded with the US president to scale back his threats against the Danish territory and offered him a dinner in Paris.

Trump Shares Map of US Including Greenland, Canada, Venezuela

President Donald Trump has shared an image, seemingly AI-edited, that shows him sitting alongside a map of the U.S. that includes Greenland, Canada and Venezuela as he speaks with European leaders.

The picture, which Trump posted on Truth Social, appears to be an edited version of a photograph taken when leaders—including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen—went to Washington, D.C., in August 2025.

Trump says he will ‘100%’ carry out Greenland tariffs threat, as EU vows to protect its interests

Donald Trump has vowed to “100%” follow through on his threat to impose tariffs on European countries who oppose his demand to take control of Greenland.

European allies have rallied around Greenland’s sovereignty. Denmark’s foreign minister emphasised the US president cannot threaten his way to ownership of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper reiterated the UK’s position that the future of Greenland is for “Greenlanders and for the Danes alone” to decide.
