Could Donald Trump be good for Canada? The reflexive answer is no. The U.S. president-elect is threatening to impose a 25 per cent tariff on our exports. He promises to deport millions of illegal migrants, many of whom may run to our border. He mocks Canada as the 51st state — a threat that is no joke. Just this week he mused about retaking the Panama Canal and buying Greenland. If he fully embraces Manifest Destiny, all North America becomes fair game.
Trump Says the US Owning Greenland Is an ‘Absolute Necessity’

On Sunday evening, President-elect Donald Trump wrote that the United States owning Greenland “is an absolute necessity.”
Trump made the remark in a lengthy post announcing Ken Howery as his nominee to serve as ambassador to Denmark. Howery previously served as ambassador to Sweden.
Kelly McParland: The Liberals have only one choice — an election

Justin Trudeau is the captain of a battered old tub caught in a tsunami. There’s a hole in the hull, the water’s rising, half the vessel is beneath the surface and there’s an ominous sound suggesting it’s about to break in two. The lifeboats are out and the crew is fleeing.
WTF?
This was North Carolina yesterday. People are still living in tents.

LILLEY: Poilievre promises to end woke culture in military

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre isn’t just promising to spend more money on Canada’s military, he’s promising to change the culture.
Article content
In an exclusive interview with the Toronto Sun last week, Poilievre said he wants to eradicate the woke culture forced into the Canadian Armed Forces by the Trudeau Liberals.
“We will rebuild our military, and our soldiers will once again, have a warrior culture, not a woke culture,” Poilievre said.
WTF?

Europe murdered one set of Semites and is surrendering to another

The European continent is soaked in Jewish blood but the EU has still not learned that pursuing their shortsighted interests at the cost of the Jews will end up being at their own expense.
‘Shadow President Musk’ and Other Media Myths
The propaganda merchants badly want to drive a wedge between Trump and Musk.
The corporate media and other Democrat advocacy groups have been desperately casting about for a way to create tension between President-elect Trump and Elon Musk. They know that much of the progressive agenda is in serious danger if the affinity that exists between these two men endures for very long. Beginning well before the election, numerous “news” stories alleged that Musk’s support of Trump created horrendous conflicts of interest. No one outside the Beltway paid any attention. Then, the demise of the 1,547 page “continuing resolution” last week inspired a new narrative — the senior partner in the alliance was Musk rather than Trump.

NGOs Driving Antisemitism in Europe and around the Globe: Part I
Antisemitism in the West, which has risen to unprecedented levels since the October 7 attacks on Israel, is being deliberately driven by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with links to Palestinian terrorist organizations.
One of the most active NGOs, Samidoun (“Steadfast”), a “Vancouver-based terrorist group,” was founded in 2012 — ostensibly to “assist Palestinian prisoners” — by members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a designated terrorist organization in the United States, European Union and Canada. In practice, Samidoun is a front for the PFLP. The PFLP is an active terrorist organization, which participated in the October 7, 2023 atrocities, including in hostage taking, and shared celebratory videos and other material of the massacres online.
Drug precursors the new ‘primary threat’ entering Canada as fentanyl imports drop

With criminal networks shifting to domestic production of fentanyl and other opioids, the focus of law enforcement at Canada’s borders has now shifted to the chemicals used to make the deadly drugs.
The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that more than 47,000 Canadians have died of toxic drug overdoses since 2016. Four out of every five of accidental overdose deaths recorded this year in Canada involved fentanyl.
Jack Mintz: Canada can no longer afford a peace dividend

As we enter the holiday period, “peace” is very much top of mind. The Finnish celebrate “Christmas Peace” each year to formally announce the beginning of the season. Dating from the 13th century, the tradition encourages people to be respectful and kind: harsher penalties were once imposed on criminals for offences during the Christmas Peace. It is too bad that only one part of the year is used to remind us of the importance of peace. It should be something we pray for all year round.
Tesla Owner Is Sent a Uniquely Portland ‘Message’

When they’re not busy burning, looting, and committing “peaceful but fiery” acts of violence, there’s another side to Portland, Oregon—it’s the gentler, more passive-aggressive side. While most people scramble between jobs to gather enough pop bottles to turn in to pay the “arts tax,” the political class and Antifa, but I repeat myself, spend their evening hours bathed in the light of their monitors plotting revenge on their wrong-thinking enemies.
Enemies like their Tesla-owning neighbors.
