The sleepy town of Mandan, North Dakota, with a population of just 25,000, might seem an unlikely backdrop for a titanic legal battle. Yet, within its unprepossessing courthouse, a zealous oil billionaire is taking on Greenpeace. It’s Trump-supporting Goliath versus tree-loving David, in a case that could have far-reaching implications for both climate activism and free speech worldwide.
OTTAWA — While Canadians may be looking at job losses and a recession in the next few weeks due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to launch a trade war with a close ally and partner, they could also be called to the polls in that same period.

Queen: Ten Days in London.
During the current almighty brouhaha with the United States, concerned Canadians have been wondering about the conspicuous silence of their head of state, King Charles III, who seems to be hiding out behind a wall of silence when we need him most. U.S. President Donald Trump has been saying such ridiculous things about the King’s Canadian realm and has just unleashed punitive tariffs. So Canadians want to know: where the dickens is our head of state, who should be telling the Great Grifter to buzz off and concentrate instead on all the ills which beset his own ridiculously indebted country?

Charles is not worth a bowl of piss.
Comedian and outspoken pro-Israel activist Michael Rapaport trashed a liberal Canadian politician for demanding her fellow lawmakers bar him from doing stand-up shows in the country.
In a Monday column for “The Free Press,” the actor and comedian called out Canadian Parliament member Heather McPherson after she urged fellow lawmakers to bar him from the country ahead of his show dates in Alberta, Canada this week.
He declared that he would be there and even invited her to sit in the front row.
Negative feelings about Pierre Poilievre pushing some voters toward Liberals, poll suggests
OTTAWA — Worsening feelings for Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre are helping push Canadian voters towards the federal Liberal party, a new poll suggests.
In an online survey published Wednesday, Pollara Strategic Insights found that 34 per cent of respondents were more open to voting for the governing Liberals by mid-February than at the end of last year.

The United States has paused major portions of its intelligence-sharing with Ukraine, squeezing the flow of vital information that Kyiv has used to repel invading Russian forces and strike back at select targets inside Russia, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.
The rupture in intelligence-sharing includes a halt in targeting data that U.S. spy agencies supply to Kyiv so it can launch American-provided weapons and Ukraine-made long-range drones at Russian targets, Ukrainian officials said. Some Ukrainian missile operators say they are no longer receiving information needed to hit targets inside Russia.
OTTAWA — The reality and the pain of a Donald Trump-led trade war set in Tuesday, and the tariff theatrics got weirder.
After the U.S. president slapped all Canadian and Mexican products with a 25 per cent import duty and a 10 per cent levy on oil and gas, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau channelled this country’s sense of dismay, betrayal and fury. He authorized counter-tariffs to fight back in an “unjustified” trade war launched by Trump whom he said is using border concerns as a pretext to collapse this country’s economy and “annex us.”
If after 10 years of ruinous Trudeau governance you regard the absolute worst PM ever as a patriot then you belong in the loony bin.
WASHINGTON, March 5 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are scheduled to a speak on Wednesday, a day after Trump’s new 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada took effect, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
The tariff moves, which could upend nearly $2.2 trillion in annual trade, came after Trump declared that the top three U.S. trading partners had failed to do enough to stem the flow of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals into the U.S.
NDP’s Singh Urges Parliament to Reconvene for Vote on Emergency Tariffs Aid
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling for an emergency session of Parliament to implement supports for companies and workers impacted by the newly imposed 25 percent U.S. tariffs on Canadian products.
Singh is also urging lawmakers to implement employment insurance (EI) reforms as companies in various sectors grapple with layoffs.
The NDP leader’s March 4 call for an emergency Parliament session comes the same day the U.S. tariffs came into force.

Xhoni Leka arrived in the UK illegally in 2013 and was repeatedly refused residency before being caught in possession of class B drugs with intent to supply in 2020.
The Home Office served him with a deportation order but he successfully appealed by claiming it would breach his rights under Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights, which protects an individual’s right to a family life.
U.S. President Donald Trump may announce a deal with Canada and Mexico on Wednesday that sees the countries “meet in the middle” on tariffs, his commerce secretary said after the president launched a trade war Tuesday.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told Fox News Trump will “work something out with them” after imposing 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods and 10 per cent levies on Canadian energy. Canada launched retaliatory tariffs shortly afterward, with Mexico promising to do the same.

Adversaries see opportunities to exploit ‘strategically valuable’ Arctic, CSIS says
OTTAWA — Canada’s spy agency warns that colliding global developments make the Arctic an “attractive, strategic and vulnerable destination” for foreign adversaries seeking to establish a presence in Canada.
A newly released Canadian Security Intelligence Service assessment flags the environment, critical infrastructure, economic activity and geopolitics as converging factors making the region susceptible to threats from abroad.
It sees resource extraction projects, increasing ship traffic, the building of ports and possible militarization of the Arctic as some of the avenues nefarious actors could use to gain a foothold in the region.
President Trump made one of the biggest gambles of his presidency Tuesday by initiating sweeping tariffs with no clear rationale on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, triggering a trade war that risks undermining the United States economy.
His actions have upended diplomatic relations with America’s largest trading partners, sent markets tumbling, and provoked retaliation on U.S. products — leaving businesses, investors and economists puzzled as to why Mr. Trump would create such upheaval without extended negotiations or clear reasoning.
U.S.-eh? Who are the Canadians who would support a 51st state?
Fringe groups support the notion of joining the United States in the face of Trump’s threats
It may surprise and even enrage many people to know there are Canadians out there who wouldn’t mind this country becoming the 51st state of the U.S.
It’s a small number, to be sure: About 10 per cent of Canadians say they would support Canada joining the U.S., according to a poll by the Angus Reid Institute, completed in January.
Ryan Hemsley, who lives in Victoria, sees himself in that camp.
Samuel Johnson – “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.” Often the 1st frankly.
Trudeau is no patriot and the CBC just a mouthpiece for his Globalist scams.
