Canada’s last-minute reprieve from crushing U.S. tariffs came after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a series of measures aimed at controlling the trafficking of fentanyl, a key reason President Trump has cited for wanting to impose levies.
Fentanyl has flooded North America’s drug supply over the last decade, killing tens of thousands in Canada and the United States, and generating enormous profits for criminal organizations using basic chemistry skills, improvised equipment and home laboratories to produce millions of doses.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly talked about fentanyl as a major public health threat to Americans and holds Mexico and Canada responsible for allowing the drug to enter the United States. But last year, less than 1 percent of the fentanyl arriving in the United States came from Canada.
That 1% number is disputed and there is no data on the import/export of precursor drugs.
2015 Migrant Crisis architect Angela Merkel has again lashed out at her successor in German politics for moving away from the open borders paradigm and working with the populist-right, saying she finds it impossible to “remain silent in such a situation”.
If many average Canadians think a large swath of our judiciary is out of touch, I give you B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Crossin.
The “learned” judge weighed in last week that a section of the Criminal Code was unconstitutional because, uh, it treats everyone convicted of first-degree murder the same.
In the annals of asinine USAID funding bursting into public view under Trump administration scrutiny, the $50 billion-a-year United States Agency for International Development’s efforts to make the world safe for queerocracy ring particularly perverse.
For a window into these most colorful of efforts, consider the cool million bucks you the taxpayer committed in an award for an LGBTQI program adviser you probably didn’t know you needed.
The $969,821 award’s recipient is a longtime activist named Stephen Leonelli.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meets with Canada’s premiers and works with cabinet to craft his government’s response to an unpredictable Trump administration, he’s also batting away repeated demands from opposition leaders to recall Parliament.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh say Parliament must return so that the government can pass new legislation that will strengthen the border and protect workers and businesses, respectively.
The CBC makes Trudeau out to be a great national hero sacrificing all for the sake of the nation.
The nation he spent 10 years trying to destroy.
Lego can be anti-LGBT, the Science Museum has said.
A self-guided museum tour on “stories of queer communities, experiences and identities” includes a display of Lego bricks alongside a guide stating the plastic blocks may reinforce the idea that heterosexuality “is the norm”.
The tour, devised by a Gender and Sexuality Network at the museum, also claims in the “Seeing Things Queerly” guide that Lego adds credence to the view that there are only two genders.
OTTAWA — Provinces that are sending conservation officers and other local authorities to patrol the Canada-U.S. border are setting up what the president of the union representing border officers calls “history’s most expensive taxi service,” given that anyone caught crossing illegally must ultimately be delivered to border agents.
Syrians and a Bosnian were among the 10 victims of a gunman who carried out the worst shooting in Swedish history, at a school in Orebro on Tuesday.
It was the first information about those murdered in the attack, and it came from two embassies rather than police, who only said there were victims of a number of nationalities.
Police said the suspected gunman, named locally as 35-year-old Rickard Andersson, was found dead after the attack, with three guns by his side.
No official motive declared but they dance around the prospect that it may be related to the shooter’s anger at Sweden’s disastrous mass immigration policy.
Liberal leadership hopefuls are pivoting and responding to the attention-consuming existential threats to Canadian trade posed by U.S. President Donald Trump – a preview of what the next federal election is going to look like, according to Liberal strategists.
“There’s nothing usual about this race,” said Greg MacEachern of KAN Strategies.
From the very short timeline to the wild trade drama and the various characters involved, party leadership contests don’t normally play out like this one.
People will not forget or forgive the Liberal record under Trudeau. At best the Liberals may cannibalize NDP and green votes.
Hundreds of women were raped and burned alive during the chaos after a Rwandan-backed rebel group entered the Congolese city of Goma last week.
The female inmates were attacked in their wing inside Goma’s Munzenze prison during a mass jailbreak, according to a senior UN official.
The deputy head of the UN peacekeeping force based in Goma, Vivian van de Perre, said that while several thousand men managed to escape from the prison, the area reserved for women was set on fire.

US president Donald Trump will try to force Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to agree to a ceasefire with Russia by Easter under a peace plan, according to a report.
Trump, who has long claimed that he would be able to negotiate an ending to the brutal invasion of Ukraine in a single day, is said to be working to end the war within 100 days.
The unconfirmed plans, reported by Ukrainian outlet Strana, have been doing the rounds in ‘political and diplomatic circles’ in Ukraine, and will include a ceasefire by April 20 that would freeze Russia’s steady advance, a ban on Ukraine from joining NATO, and a demand for Kyiv to accept Russian sovereignty on annexed land.

By all means, foist them on Canadians, because what we really need is more of the intifada crowd. I guess we can't blame Israel for wanting to exploit any and all opportunities presented by Canada's corrupt government. @fancypants_s https://t.co/KBytrcxmuX
