Lutnick suggests Canada-China deal threatens CUSMA renegotiation

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says Canada is “playing with a set of rules that they haven’t really thought through” by moving to reset relations with China ahead of trade deal renegotiations with the United States.

Lutnick made the comments in an interview with Bloomberg in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday.

Panda sex and deer threesomes fluster Florida parents

Outraged adults in Orange County have tried to ban Katharina von der Gathen’s book Do Animals Fall in Love?, which describes the sex lives of animals

The average bedbug does it 200 times a day, the lion up to 40 and the pigeon approximately seven. Pandas do it once a year, and an eel will do it once in a lifetime.

The Asiatic black bear has a penchant for doing it alone, the female Adélie penguin will do it in exchange for pebbles, while barnacles do it en masse and indiscriminately with monstrously long appendages.

Michael Taube: I’m a speechwriter. Carney did better than Trudeau at Davos. But that’s a low bar

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Jan. 20 speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland received significant media attention. It was critical of U.S. President Donald Trump’s political agenda without directly saying so. Canada’s progressive commentators, and some conservative commentators, couldn’t contain their enthusiasm when the PM uttered lines like, “we know the old order is not coming back … we shouldn’t mourn it” and “we shouldn’t allow the rise of hard power to blind us to the fact that the power of legitimacy, integrity and rules will remain strong, if we choose to wield them together.”

Zelensky Slams Europe, Insults Orbán in Desperate Davos Address

It seems that if it were up to the Ukrainian president, the EU would have already invaded Iran and declared war on Russia.

The annual Davos World Economic Forum saw quite a few remarkable speeches this year, with that of Donald Trump definitely stealing the show. But there were some others, too, that stand out, attempting to emulate the U.S. president’s candor and energy, albeit with varying success.

How the Ottawa-Beijing Agreement Plays Into China’s Factional Struggles and Emboldens Xi

Chinese state-owned media hailed Canada’s new agreement with Beijing and pursuit of “strategic partnership,” with the regime’s China Daily saying Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit “reflects China’s increasing global stature.”

Amid factional infighting and struggles, Carney’s visit is being portrayed as a win for Chinese leader Xi Jinping, whose side has been increasingly sidelined in recent months, says Wang He, a senior China commentator with The Epoch Times and former university lecturer.

Federal government planning social media ban on kids 14 and younger

The federal government is considering a ban of social media accounts for children under 14, the Globe and Mail reports.

This ban would come after the highly publicised social media ban that the Australian government has for all children under 16.

This ban has been seen as widely successful, with, according to Australian PM Anthony Albanese, over 4.7 million social media accounts deactivated since the ban came into effect in 2024.

Jennifer Welch, Irrational, Incensed, And Dangerous, Is The Democrat Party

The Democrat who people most need to be paying attention to right now isn’t in Congress and isn’t expected to run for president. It’s Jennifer Welch, the gaunt, puckered up nag who hosts a popular podcast and who now proudly displays on a regular basis just how dark and decayed the left’s collective soul has become.

To hell with European cowardice

Until Europe wants to build a respectable military force instead of relying on American’s might, they can kindly, piss off.

ATO leaders posture boldly in words, but invisibly in deeds. They foolishly oppose Trump’s desire to protect America (and thus Europe) from Russian and Chinese nuclear missiles by securing Greenland for Golden Dome air defense.

It’s in stark contrast with the obvious fear NATO leaders have of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. For four years, NATO has been ultra careful to limit significant support for Ukraine’s valiant defense against Putin’s second invasion. Yeah, Putin scares them.

Surrey Mayor Presses Carney to Appoint an “Extortion Czar” as Canada’s Mafia Shooting Wave Spreads

OTTAWA — Following The Bureau’s investigation into Canada’s Indian mafia-linked extortion crisis, Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke is urging Mark Carney’s government to appoint an “Extortion Czar” to coordinate a national response to what she calls a rapidly escalating wave of violence that has spread beyond British Columbia and is now “approaching 1,500” cases across Canada since 2023.
