Elites Hate Trump’s Tariffs Because They Work

Pay attention to who is melting down the most over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump implemented this week. It’s the same wealthy Wall Street elites and career politicians who have been exploiting American workers and pillaging the middle class for decades.

Water boy Carney’s backers are scared they’ll lose their spot at the public trough.

There is only one way for Canada to deal with Donald Trump

A few weeks ago, I argued that the strongest political opposition to Donald Trump resided right here in Canada.

Turns out, that’s an increasingly dangerous place to be.

As the latest round of tariffs on our automotive sector prove, it’s an increasingly economically painful place to be.

And if Donald Trump’s musings over a third term are to be believed — and they should — that may be the case not just for four years, but for at least eight. A near decade more of economic coercion and geopolitical volatility.

Less deranged than is usual for the Star.

Geoff Russ: Alberta separatists can’t be ignored if Canada is to survive

People who choose to live in Ottawa tend to dislike Preston Manning. The city’s disdain for him is on the same scale as Western Canada’s anger at the memory of Pierre Trudeau.

When the Globe and Mail published the former Reform leader’s warning that Mark Carney poses a threat to national unity on Wednesday, that vitriol arose once again, scolding him for failing to toe the Team Canada line. That does not change the fact that Manning has a point.

Catholicism on the Decline in the US

There is a crisis of belief in the Catholic Church. Will the priests and bishops of America remedy that?

American Catholics ought to be alarmed but, in a way, inspired by some recent statistics on the Catholic faith in the U.S. The Pew Research Center published its Religious Landscape Study recently, including an analysis of the habits, beliefs, and religious practices of Catholics in the U.S. Although nearly a fifth (19 percent) of Americans identify as Catholics, that’s down from nearly a quarter (24 percent) in 2007. It doesn’t get much better.

Belmont Club: How Will ‘Liberation Day’ Be Remembered?

Will the “Liberation Day” tariff policies of Donald Trump work or end in failure? Whenever there’s a question that cannot categorically be answered by physics or mathematics, the only recourse is to wait and see. Most human actions, operating as they do against the complex background of history and human society, cannot be easily predicted. No one on June 6, 1944, knew for sure if D-Day would succeed. In the lead-up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, most observers thought Kyiv’s goose was cooked. As the New York Times said in “The Secret History of the War in Ukraine”:

Le Pen calls embezzlement conviction a ‘witch hunt’

France’s far-right National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen has called a court ruling banning her from running for office for five years a “witch hunt”.

“I won’t give up,” she told thousands of flag-waving supporters in Place Vauban, close to the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Sunday.

She was on Monday found guilty of helping to embezzle €2.9m (£2.5m) of EU funds between 2004 and 2016 for use by her party. Le Pen has appealed.

At the rally on Sunday she claimed the ruling was a “political decision”, adding: “We are not asking to be above the law, but to not be below the law.”

Australia: Heading for Jihadist Conflict

The happy-go-lucky country of Australia, located at the far-end of the globe, away from the geopolitical turmoil in Europe and the Middle East, is a peaceful and pleasant place to live – or should be.

Most of the immigrants seem to have assimilated comfortably, enjoying generous benefits such as state-sponsored medical care, welfare packages, high wages, vast open spaces and low crime. Life is good in Australia, with thousands of applicants from all over the world keenly seeking a better life in the sun. Although with a relatively small population of some 25 million, four of its cities are currently rated among the world’s top 20 most livable.

Poilievre defends candidate accused of denying residential schools history

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is standing by a candidate in British Columbia, even as calls mount among various Indigenous leaders for the nominee to resign, accusing Aaron Gunn of denying the history of residential schools.

“He’s not denied the impact of residential schools, that’s just misinformation,” Poilievre told reporters Saturday when asked about his support for Gunn, the candidate for North Island-Powell River.

BBC accused of ‘Islamist propaganda’ for calling Muslim converts ‘reverts’

The BBC has been accused of parroting “Islamist propaganda” after describing Muslim converts as “reverts”.

The controversial term was used throughout an article about Eid – the holiday that marks the end of Ramadan – published by BBC News on Friday.

The term “revert” is used by some to back claims that Muslim converts are merely returning to the faith all humans are born into before being corrupted by Christianity, other religions or atheism.
