Trump ‘not sure’ what Carney wants to talk about at White House meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s “not sure” what Prime Minister Mark Carney “wants to see me about” ahead of tomorrow’s meeting.

Trump and Carney are scheduled to speak at the White House on Tuesday in their first in-person meeting since Canada’s election. The two leaders are expected to discuss the months-long trade war that has fractured their countries’ relationship and seeped their respective economies with uncertainty.

Trump Called Jasmine Crockett ‘Low IQ.’ This Was Her Response.

President Donald Trump has had words for Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a particularly leftist and relatively new member of Congress, who finds herself in the news quite a bit, and for not the best reasons. Considering she represents the most blue districts in the state and one of the most in the country, she’ll likely have that seat for as long as she wants it, but that doesn’t mean her antics bode well for the flailing Democratic Party. During his Sunday interview with Kristen Welker of NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” the president referred to Crockett as “low IQ,” which is a way he’s described her before. Sure enough, she’s responded over X.

Jamie Sarkonak: Alberta is right to challenge Ottawa’s clean-electricity overstep

If more provinces stood up for themselves when the feds started encroaching, we’d be a lot better off as a country. That in mind, it was good to see Alberta announce on Thursday that it would be challenging the federal Clean Electricity Regulations, which became law in December.

The new rules aim to net-zeroify the entire Canadian grid by 2050, banning carbon emissions by new units with at least 25 MW of electrical generation capacity over a preset “technology-neutral annual emissions limit” by 2035; the ban will also cover existing units by 2050 at the latest. It’s expected to cost the country $40 billion from now until 2050 — and it’s justified because magic math in Ottawa pegs the benefits to society in that time will be worth $55 billion.

Conservatives signal they are willing to back Carney’s Liberals on some legislation

After a fractious federal election campaign focused on perceived Liberal failures, the Conservative House leader is now signalling the caucus may be willing to support some of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s legislative agenda when the House of Commons returns later this month.

In an interview with CBC News, Andrew Scheer, who is considered by party sources to be the front-runner to serve as their interim parliamentary leader, said the Conservatives could back Carney if he needs legislative support to take on U.S. President Donald Trump and the ongoing trade war, which has already caused some economic dislocation, including automotive job losses at the General Motors plant in Oshawa, Ont.

You may not like what Shiloh Hendrix did — and that’s the point

As of this publication, Shiloh Hendrix has raised over $542,000 after a Somali immigrant (and alleged pedophile kidnapper, hanging out at a park in the middle of the day on a Wednesday for some reason) accused her of calling an unattended 5-year-old the hard R.

She doesn’t deny the accusation, saying “he acted like one” — apparently stealing from her diaper bag.

The support is remarkable. But after years of anti-white racism pushed by the academy, media and government I am not surprised.

The U.S. Threat Looming Over Canada

The consequences if Trump followed through on his belligerent rhetoric about a “51st state” would be catastrophic.

The idea of a war between Canada and the United States was inconceivable even a few months ago. Most Americans still don’t believe it’s a possibility, or simply haven’t noticed their president’s occupationist rhetoric, or can’t imagine a world in which a neighbor they have been at peace with for 150 years is suddenly an enemy. The very idea seems completely absurd.

But Canada does not have the luxury of dismissing White House rhetoric as trolling. Canadians are imagining the unimaginable because they have to.

What Are Palestinians Really Interested In?

As fires raged in central Israel in late April, many Palestinians celebrated, brazenly demanded more fires, and called for Israeli homes to be reduced to “ashes.”

All this happened on the day Israelis commemorated fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism and prepared to celebrate Independence Day.

“We ask God to protect our people and land. May these fires confuse the [Israeli] occupiers and their embattled settlers,” wrote Palestinian social media user Hana Barghouti.

Kapow! China turns its back on Marvel movies

Among its retaliatory strikes for President Trump’s tariff war, Beijing targeted Hollywood movies, threatening to deny them Chinese ticket sales. It may not need to.

Initial figures for the latest Marvel superhero film, Thunderbolts* — the first Hollywood blockbuster to premiere in China since Trump’s “liberation day”, when his tariffs were announced — suggest local audiences will not need anything as official as a ban to stay away.
