If it’s any consolation, Canada is far down on Trump’s takeover list
The monster of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, is gone. Good. Most can agree on that, despite the trashing of international law employed by the Donald Trump administration to get him.
But as the predator President of the United States warns of toppling other nations – which, for one thing, distracts from afflictions in his own broken country – the task will be much more difficult.
Federal agents shoot 2 alleged Tren de Aragua gangbangers who ‘weaponized’ car in Portland Oregon
Federal agents allegedly shot two people in Oregon Thursday afternoon – just one day after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent gunned down anti-ICE activist Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota during a chaotic caught-on-camera operation, according to cops.
An unidentified man and woman were both found with gunshot wounds near Northeast 146th Avenue and East Burnside Street in Portland around 2:20 p.m. local time, after the man called authorities for help, according to the Portland Police Department.

Details are a bit sketchy
Rodrigo Madriz: I’m Venezuelan. Here are 7 things Canadians need to know about Maduro’s ouster
In the middle of the night on Jan. 3, my WhatsApp lit up with hundreds of messages, videos and reports describing unfolding events in Caracas and other cities throughout Venezuela. Confusion gave way to elation when the news finally broke: Nicolás Maduro was in U.S. custody.
WTF?

CTF says failed pilot shows gun grab program should be scrapped
Ottawa’s gun grab program is under renewed fire after a federal pilot project in Cape Breton netted just 25 firearms, far short of government targets, prompting critics to call the entire scheme a costly failure.
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says the six-week pilot project, launched in September 2025, demonstrates what law enforcement and policy experts have warned for years: confiscating firearms from licensed owners will not make communities safer.

Can Generation X Save the West?
The 1990s bestseller How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill asserted that Irish monks, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, preserved essential religious and secular tracts from antiquity through the Dark Ages ensuing from Rome’s collapse. The subsequent reintroduction of these classical texts arguably “recivilized” Europe after centuries of barbarism.
The Problem with Our Response to Mass Shootings
In 1999, two young men entered Columbine High School in Colorado, gunned down 12 students and a teacher, then took their own lives. Grief therapists arrived “long before the gun smoke wafted away,” wrote Washington Post columnist Jonathan Yardley. The “self-appointed priests and priestesses of this New Age of self-awareness, unctuous parasites bearing portable confessionals who swoop down wherever catastrophe strikes, chanting mantras of pop psychology . . . [attach] themselves to the stunned, bewildered survivors of affliction, demanding that they give vent to their ‘feelings.’”
RCAF commander reports progress on filling recruitment, retention gaps
OTTAWA – A substantial entry level pay hike for pilots and the acquisition of new and advanced aircraft are “absolutely” helping to shore up Royal Canadian Air Force pilot retention and morale, says the force’s commander.
In a wide-ranging recent interview with The Canadian Press, Commander Lt.-Gen. Jamie Speiser-Blanchet said she is seeing signs of progress despite the protracted personnel crisis gripping the air force, which remains short of roughly 2,000 trained personnel.

Trump predicts US will run Venezuela for at least a year: ‘I would say much longer’
President Trump suggested Wednesday that the US will oversee Venezuela for at least a year following the Jan. 3 arrest of the South American country’s president, Nicolas Maduro, on federal drug and weapons charges.
“We will rebuild it in a very profitable way,” Trump told the New York Times in a lengthy interview. “We’re going to be using oil, and we’re going to be taking oil. We’re getting oil prices down, and we’re going to be giving money to Venezuela, which they desperately need.”
Trump suspends U.S. support for 66 international organizations
The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the UN’s population agency and the UN treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, as the U.S. further retreats from global co-operation.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending support for 66 organizations, agencies and commissions following his instructions for his administration to review participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the United Nations, according to a White House statement on social media.
Most of the targets are UN-related agencies, commissions and advisory panels that focus on climate, labour and other issues that the Trump administration has categorized as catering to diversity and “woke” initiatives.
The CBC is shocked. I wish we had a party willing to take similar action.
Africa’s Pipeline Rejects Climate Dogma and Foreign Control
As Western elites preach net zero, Africa’s Dangote is building power the hard way—fueling growth, jobs, and independence with energy that actually works.
Political powers in the United Nations and European Union have spent decades lecturing Africa on climate “virtue.” Net-zero pledges, renewable targets, ESG frameworks, and more make up the ever-growing list of prescriptions for “healing the planet.”
Having already industrialized through the use of fossil fuels and enjoying full bellies, stable power grids, and unprecedented luxury, the so-called elite of the developed world present a “low-carbon” economy as morally superior. African nations are pressured to use “sustainable” energy sources—mostly wind and solar technologies—to effectively prevent the development of the Dark Continent’s rich deposits of coal, oil, and natural gas and engender dependence on foreign governments.
CHARLEBOIS: Canada poised to lose 4,000 restaurants in 2026. Does anyone care?
According to official figures, Canada’s restaurant sector appears remarkably resilient. The number of food service establishments has climbed steadily since the pandemic, surpassing pre-2020 levels and suggesting a sector that has not only recovered, but expanded. On paper, the industry looks stable.
On the ground, it does not.
Toronto is transitioning into a 3rd World Street Meat economy and I have very large suspicions about the quality and safety of Toronto restaurants in general.

‘GET HIM OUT!’ Whoopi Wants to Know Why NATO Not Saving Us from Trump
On Wednesday’s edition of The View, their inciting rhetoric reached a new dangerous level when moderator Whoopi Goldberg seemingly called on NATO to save America from President Trump and “GET HIM OUT!” She claimed America no longer had a government and demanded to know “where is everybody,” particularly NATO since they’ve helped us out before after 9/11. She also claimed Trump’s new foreign policy goal was “global domination.”
