Without Formal Trade Talks, Canada and the U.S. Go Public With Their Grievances

Without Formal Trade Talks, Canada and the U.S. Go Public With Their Grievances

Canada and the United States have yet to start negotiations over their free trade deal, but they are already publicly squabbling over various issues, reflecting the depth of their ruptured relations.

As their talks to renew the North American trade pact that also includes Mexico have failed to get underway, Ottawa and Washington over the past week exchanged threats and insults, with the United States particularly perturbed over the decision by eight Canadian provinces last year to remove American wine and spirits from the shelves of government-owned liquor stores.

Anti-Israel barbarians will destroy Europe from within

Anti-Israel barbarians will destroy Europe from within

Iran sends to the gallows the first woman guilty of having demonstrated against the Islamic regime, Bita Hemmati.

Meanwhile, in the soft underbelly of Berlin, in that Alexanderplatz which was the stage for Hitlerian parades, DDR marches and today tourist selfies, an incredible pantomime has taken place. Anti-Western and anti-Israel hatred becomes a macabre staging.

Parliamentary record contradicts Liberal MP’s claim about forced labour comments … Beijing Stooge Silent

Parliamentary record contradicts Liberal MP’s claim about forced labour comments … Beijing Stooge Silent

OTTAWA — Parliament’s official record shows Liberal MP Michael Ma was referring to Xinjiang — a region in China where reports of forced labour have been documented — in a committee meeting last month, contradicting the MP’s claims that he was misheard during a contentious exchange with a witness.

Ma was also given the opportunity to correct the official transcript and didn’t do so, the office of the Speaker of the House of Commons told the Star.


Carney is Beijing’s stooge.

Europe’s Energy Suicide: The EU Admits the World Runs on Fossil Fuels — While Deliberately Destroying Its Own

The European Union’s energy policy has reached a level of ideological self-harm that even its harshest critics could scarcely have imagined.

The global economy continues to run overwhelmingly on fossil fuels. Transportation, electricity generation, heavy industry, heating, and plastics production all depend on them.

Bishops call on Canadians to contact MPs now

Bishops call on Canadians to contact MPs now

Canada’s bishops are calling on Catholics to contact their Members of Parliament before March 2027, when the country’s assisted suicide program is set to expand yet again, to cover mental illness as a sole qualifying condition.

The program, “Medical Aid in Dying” (MAiD), has drawn criticism from human rights advocates across the world. Since its legalization 10 years ago, over 60,000 Canadians have died by MAiD — including more than 5% of all Canadian deaths in 2024 alone.

Leftist SPLC Donor George Clooney and Others Silent on DOJ Indictment

Some of the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) donors have apparently remained silent after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) charged the nonprofit this week with fraud and money laundering.

One of those big-name donors is actor George Clooney, whose foundation has not yet said a word about the indictment, the New York Post reported Thursday, noting that left-wing billionaire George Soros’ foundation and MGM Resorts have also stayed quiet.

Mounties, border officers and cyber spies shut out of early retirement incentive

Front-line security and intelligence workers including Mounties won’t be able to access the government’s penalty‑free early retirement incentive as federal public safety agencies focus on getting more people in the door — not out.

The early retirement incentive (ERI) is part of the government’s larger goal to trim the federal public service, and allows eligible federal employees to leave early without being penalized for cashing out their pension.

Leftists Excited to Begin Cannibalizing the Elderly

Leftists Excited to Begin Cannibalizing the Elderly

Did you live a self-reliant, constructive life? Did you play by the rules, work hard, raise your kids to be productive members of society, save up, and arrive in seniority well-provisioned for your well-earned golden years?

Sucker!

If you simply reverse the direction of each of the Ten Commandments, you arrive at the leftist version. Among these is the Marxist tenet of weaponized envy — Thou shalt covet — and its corollary, Thou shalt steal.


These are the two columns referenced in the article:

Appoint more Conservative senators, Pierre Poilievre tells Mark Carney

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Prime Minister Mark Carney should appoint more Tories to the Senate, arguing that the opposition voices Canadians voted for at the ballot box ought to be properly represented across Canada’s Parliament.

“The Senate is not currently a reflection of the Canadian people,” Poilievre told a news conference in Ottawa on Thursday.


Neither is the Carney government.

India voices anger after Trump shares comments calling it a ‘hell hole’

India voices anger after Trump shares comments calling it a ‘hell hole’

The Indian government has denounced a social media post shared by Donald Trump that described India as a “hellhole”, calling the comments inappropriate and “in poor taste”.

On Wednesday, Trump posted a four-page transcription of remarks made by the conservative podcast host Michael Savage that denounced the US constitutional right to citizenship of everyone born in the country.

Without evidence, the post accused Indian immigrants in the tech industry of not hiring white native-born Americans and inaccurately alleged that Indian immigrants lacked English proficiency.

“A baby here becomes an instant citizen, and then they bring the entire family in from China or India or some other hellhole on the planet,” the post said. Trump also posted a video of Savage delivering the comments.

Toronto police want to talk to ex-cop who alleged antisemitism, corruption in senior ranks

Retired homicide inspector Hank Idsinga made the claims in an interview with CBC News and other news outlets surrounding the release of his new book.

Speaking at an unrelated news conference Thursday, Deputy Chief Robert Johnson told reporters the service is looking to talk with Idsinga “so that we can investigate these serious allegations.”

No 10 says Falklands sovereignty rests with UK after report of US ‘review’ … No means to expel Spain from NATO

No 10 says Falklands sovereignty rests with UK after report of US ‘review’ … No means to expel Spain from NATO

Sovereignty of the Falkland Islands “rests with the UK”, Downing Street has said, following a report the US could review its position on Britain’s claim to the territory.

An internal Pentagon email reported by Reuters suggested the US was considering options to punish Nato allies it believed failed to support its war on Iran.

The options discussed also included seeking Spain’s suspension from Nato over its opposition to war.

Asked about the report, a No 10 spokesman said: “The Falkland Islands have hugely voted overwhelmingly in favour of remaining a UK overseas territory, and we’ve always stood behind the islanders’ right to self-determination and the fact that sovereignty rests with the UK.”
