Trump rolls out reciprocal tariffs: ‘Canada is going to have to start paying up’

OTTAWA — U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly singled out Canada in announcing his plan to increase tariffs to match the tax rates that other countries charge on imports.

Speaking in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump reiterated that Canada would be better off as the 51st state, repeating the false claim that his country is paying “subsidies” to its northern neighbour, and called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “Governor Trudeau.”

Germany has lost count of migrant terror attacks – the AfD hasn’t

First Mannheim, then Solingen, then Magdeburg, and Aschaffenburg and now Munich.

Germany has seen so many terror attacks committed by foreign citizens over the past 10 months that it is difficult to keep track of them.

And inevitably, this latest attack will ensure that mass migration and border security remains at the very top of the campaign agenda, ahead of elections on Feb 23.

Trudeau dumping $573,500,000 into offshore ‘gender-responsive’ economic development and climate initiatives

Does the Government of Canada need a U.S. style DOGE financial audit?

Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, would say yes. Terrazzano released a series of bombshell tweets revealing extreme waste in Ottawa.

“Global Affairs Canada (is doling) out $223 million to the “private sector” in South America for climate change mitigation and gender-responsive, sustainable economic development,” he wrote on X.

This is criminal.

42% of black men support Trump

… Now then, in August 2016, while Hillary was hobnobbing with millionaires at fundraisers, Donald Trump was out in the hustings holding rallies in places that the experts said he had no chance of winning. Michigan, for example. The fool.

On August 19, he went to a tiny suburb of Lansing—Dimondale, population 1,134—to make an obligatory pitch to black voters. The town is 96% white and less than 1% black.

My how the press laughed at this amateur.

Poll: UK Gen Z Would Not Fight For Their ‘Racist’ Country

The United Kingdom is at a civilizational inflection point. Thanks to a massive disconnect between multiculturalist elites and an indigenous citizenry whose outrage is boiling over, the UK has become a tinderbox over the issue of mass immigration and attendant issues such as skyrocketing knife crime and rapes, as well as freedom of speech threatened by the imminent adoption of Islamic blasphemy laws. And now a new poll reveals, albeit not surprisingly, that UK youth lack the patriotism to fight for their homeland.

Trump has the measure of Harry and Meghan

Deporting the peevish princeling would only fuel the couple’s sense of victimhood.

‘The gaiety of nations’ is a lovely phrase, as nations are generally in the news when they are in a state of woe. Originally, it was Samuel Johnson’s tribute to actor and playwright David Garrick (‘I am disappointed by that stroke of death, which has eclipsed the gaiety of nations and impoverished the public stock of harmless pleasure’), but I can’t help associating it with political leaders.

At a campaign event, Mark Carney, who is on the cusp of becoming Canada’s next prime minister going into a federal election, said he supports the use of “emergency powers” to fight back against the Americans in a trade war.

Filed on Tuesday by the state’s Republican attorney general, the lawsuit accuses the coffee chain of engaging in “systemic racial, sexual, and sexual orientation discrimination” through its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, including hiring quotas, advancement opportunities and board membership.

The lawsuit alleges that as of 23 August 2020 the company’s US employee breakdown was 69% women, and that by 24 September 2024 the figure was 70.9% women.

Why do so many gay men support the AfD?

‘There are many neighbourhoods we can no longer go to because we are in danger of being injured, attacked or murdered,’ Ali Utlu tells me. As a gay German man of Turkish extraction and an ex-Muslim, he’ll be voting for the hard-right Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party in the German elections later this month. And he’s not alone.

A survey of more than 60,000 gay German men by Europe’s largest gay dating platform Romeo found that almost 28 per cent of its users intend to vote for the AfD, making it the most popular party in Germany for gay men. The poll showed that the AfD did best among 18 to 24-year-olds: 34.7 per cent said they’d vote for the party. Among those aged 25 to 39, it was 32.3 per cent.

Alice Weidel the AfD leader is gay. This must scare the left to death.
