The far-left Variety is speculating (without evidence) that President Trump’s tariffs have caused China to consider banning Hollywood movies.
“This past weekend in China, Warner Bros. and Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie conquered the box office,” writes Variety. “But it might be a short-lived triumph thanks to U.S. President Donald Trump‘s tariffs.”
Liberal Leader Mark Carney should feel right at home in Alberta: after all, he was raised there. But his trip there this week feels more like a political minefield than a homecoming. That’s largely due to his recent quip that while he’s happy to dispatch Ontario Premier Doug Ford to advocate for Canada in Washington, he wouldn’t send Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
A man accused of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump at his golf club said the president was “not good for Ukraine” and tried to buy a rocket launcher.
Ryan Wesley Routh attempted to purchase a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) from someone he believed to be a Ukrainian arms dealer one month before allegedly attempting to kill Mr Trump.
Mr Routh communicated with someone he believed had access to the military via an encrypted messaging app.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he will delay tariffs for 90 days for countries that did not launch a reciprocal tariff against the US.
He also increased tariffs on Chinese imports to 125 percent, citing China’s ‘lack of respect for global markets.
Trump attributed his decision to pause the tariffs to the fact that ‘more than 75 countries’ have reached out to the White House to negotiate solutions to the trade issues he raised with the new duties.

Pet dogs have ‘extensive and multifarious’ impact on environment, new research finds
Dogs have “extensive and multifarious” environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions, new research has found.
An Australian review of existing studies has argued that “the environmental impact of owned dogs is far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognised”.
While the environmental impact of cats is well known, the comparative effect of pet dogs has been poorly acknowledged, the researchers said.
Dogs have an ally in Trump!
Trump issues order to block state climate change policies
The only thing surprising about Beijing’s dictators wanting Liberal leader Mark Carney to win the April 28 election is that anyone would be surprised by it.
As Conservative MP Michael Chong — an actual “target” of Chinese disinformation — put it in the wake of Canadian security and intelligence officials revealing China’s attempt to promote the prime minister’s campaign on Chinese-language social media: “(China) knows that for a decade the Liberals have turned a blind eye to Beijing’s interference in Canada’s democracy.
US President Donald Trump’s latest wave of tariffs has come into force, with imports from China hit by a 104% rate amid an escalating standoff between the world’s two biggest economies.
Tariffs ranging from 11% to 104% now apply to imports from around 60 US trade partners, which Trump has dubbed the “worst offenders” for what he considers unfair trade practices.
China has since hit back by raising import duties on US goods arriving in China to 84%.
Mark Carney has torn off the mask—revealing not just cowardice, but a disgraceful betrayal of moral clarity. By siding with a heckler and endorsing the false, slanderous claim of 'genocide' in Israel, he has shown himself unworthy of leadership or respect. For any Jew who values… pic.twitter.com/4y9UZqya1w

According to the legacy media, the second coming of the Messiah is here, and his name is Mark Carney. Pundits are salivating at his anointment, and pollsters are getting more airtime than ever, giddy with predictions of a Liberal majority. How did we get here?
Last December, as calls for Justin Trudeau’s termination were heard nationwide, the polls showed overwhelming support for a Conservative supermajority. Why, there were even whispers that the Liberals wouldn’t retain their party status in the new legislature. Since then, the tables supposedly turned, and we are now facing a fourth term of the most destructive government Canada has ever known. The Messiah? You’ve got to be joking!
A system that aims to predict who may go on to commit serious violent crimes, including murder, by analysing data held by police and probation services is being developed by the government.
The Ministry of Justice is working with researchers on a test project that uses algorithms to identify patterns in the personal data, in an effort to improve public safety, according to documents that were obtained by freedom of information requests by the pressure group Statewatch.

OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives ramped up sharp partisan attacks this week on Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s character and credibility, with former prime minister Stephen Harper stepping into the spotlight to publicly question the Liberals’ central campaign claim that Carney is the person to lead in a crisis.
On Day 17 of the federal election campaign, the over-large presence of Donald Trump and tariffs prompted a whole new level of heated rhetoric as polls continued to show Carney is the choice of most voters as best able to handle Trump.
What began as an isolated act of terror may now reveal a far-reaching plan to fracture Europe’s political landscape and tilt it toward chaos
In May last year, a 25-year-old Afghan asylum seeker called Sulaiman Ataee walked onto a German market square, drew a hunting knife, and plunged it into the far-Right activist Michael Stürzenberger.
In the 25 seconds of mayhem that followed in Mannheim, one policeman was fatally stabbed in the neck and six people who tried to intervene suffered knife wounds. Mr Stürzenberger survived – just.
Ataee was shot, arrested and charged with murder. His trial began in February

MONTREAL — Canadian border officials say there has been a steady rise in the number of people seeking asylum at a border crossing south of Montreal.
The rise in would-be refugees at the St-Bernard-de-Lacolle crossing comes as the temporary status of hundreds of thousands of migrants in the United States is set to expire over the next weeks and months.
Data from Canada Border Services Agency shows the number of asylum claims at the St-Bernard-de-Lacolle point of entry has increased since the start of the year, with 1,356 applications in March and 557 claims as of Saturday for April.
