Trump’s tough tariff tactics are getting results

Japan is a big deal for President Donald Trump’s upheaval of world’s trading system.

On his own terms, it could now be said that his aggressive approach is yielding tangible results.

Right from the off, the US side has been talking up the chances of a deal with Japan, but despite several delegations, the deal had been strangely elusive – until now.

In a narrow sense, this is a win for the Trump approach, especially if Japan becomes the domino that leads the rest of the world to come into line.

Japan now has the best deal, or rather, the least worst deal, of all the nations with major trade surpluses with the US.

‘I don’t trust President Trump as far as I can throw him’: Doug Ford on U.S. trade negotiations

After two days of strategizing on how to respond to the trade war U.S. President Donald Trump is waging on Canada, the premiers sat down Wednesday to discuss violent crime, drug trafficking and health care.

They’re calling on the federal government to make good on its promise to introduce legislation in the fall sitting of Parliament that will make it harder for repeat violent offenders to get bail.

VW’s EV: Only 10 Percent Loss!

Cause for celebration: the failure was not as bad as it could have been.

Orwell was on to something when he examined the mentality of certain kinds of people in a scene in his novel, 1984, wherein the character Parsons — who is described as one of those people who will eagerly swallow the most outrageous absurdity — expresses exultant happiness about Big Brother having increased the chocolate ration. In fact — as the novel’s hero Winston Smith understands perfectly well — the chocolate ration had just recently been reduced.

Maybe Parsons is working for ADC, which is a German roadside assistance company. Kind of like AAA. Anyhow, the company says it tested the battery pack in VW’s ID3 device and found that after 100,000 miles of driving, it only lost just shy of 10 percent of its capacity to hold a charge.

The Horror Of MAGA Musician!! He Spoke Out Against Critical Race Theory Says Far Left Extremist National Broadcaster!

Permit revoked for MAGA musician’s concert at Parks Canada site, but show will go on

Parks Canada says a U.S. singer and rising star in the MAGA movement will not perform at a national historic site near Halifax after the federal agency revoked the organizer’s permit, but the show is slated to go on at a new venue.

Christian rocker Sean Feucht was scheduled to play a concert on Wednesday night at the York Redoubt National Historic Site, a fortification constructed in 1793 to help protect the port city.

Feucht, who unsuccessfully ran for U.S. Congress as a Republican in 2020, is also a missionary and an author who has spoken out against the 2SLGBTQ+ community, abortion rights and critical race theory on his website.


Only the far left extremists of the CBC could write this with a straight face.

Zohran Mamdani, 33, shocked America’s political establishment last month by defeating the former governor Andrew Cuomo in the race to secure his party’s nomination.

What makes supply management so uniquely vile? Let me count the ways

Supply management presents a mystery in multiple dimensions. How is it possible, on the one hand, that every political party could be so fanatically devoted to this policy, for the benefit of such a narrow slice of the economy – roughly 9,000 dairy farms, plus a couple of thousand chicken and egg producers – and at such exorbitant cost to the rest, even going so far as to pass legislation forbidding Canadian trade negotiators to make any concessions on it, no matter what they get in return?

Coyne is right for a change.

Ford praises Carney after late-night fireside chats at Muskoka cottage

It may not be the sunny ways government, but some premiers certainly seem to be feeling sunny about the future.

And that’s despite troubled trade negotiations with the United States and the worsening effects of that country’s tariffs on Canadian businesses.

Still, provincial premiers have nary seemed so cheerful about their own relationships to each other — and the federal government.

Ukrainians are losing confidence in Zelensky

The heroic president’s support for a Bill that targets anti-corruption bodies is a terrible error

Ukraine’s wartime unity has frayed. On Tuesday, hundreds of protesters congregated in Kyiv, Lviv, Dnipro and Odesa to campaign against the Verkhovna Rada’s quick-fire passage of Bill 12414.

This legislation subordinates Ukraine’s two primary anti-corruption bodies, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (Nabu) and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (Sapo), to the control of a prosecutor general appointed by president Volodymyr Zelensky.
