Trump terminates trade talks with Canada over Ontario’s ‘fake’ anti-tariff ad featuring Ronald Reagan

President Trump abruptly called off trade negotiations with Canada on Thursday after the Ontario government funded an anti-tariff ad campaign, featuring the voice of Ronald Reagan.

“The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs,” Trump wrote in a late night Truth Social.

Eastern Europe is the West’s last hope

If we don’t close the UN, the UN will close the West and replace it with the “Global South”.

Since they made the mistake of sabotaging his teleprompter, Donald Trump spoke off the cuff at the UN and said the unadulterated truth – that “your countries are going to hell,”

Which countries? Those who have massacres in synagogues, those where Islamic terrorism is being celebrated in the streets, those with terror plots against Notre Dame and heads of government.

Under these conditions, the next five years will be the last electoral cycle for Western Europe. Then it will no longer make sense to place hopes in the 2033 or 2045 elections. It will already be in hell.

Canada needs to rein in spending. How about we stop handing out billions to wealthy seniors?

Forty years ago, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney touched a hot stove. He announced that his government would partially de-index Old Age Security benefits from inflation, and very quickly, the smell of burning flesh began wafting through Ottawa. NDP MP Simon de Jong charged that Mr. Mulroney was breaking a “sacred trust” with Canadian seniors. “Two and a half million elderly Canadians are fed up,” barked Liberal leader John Turner. And outside of Parliament, a Quebec woman named Solange Denis pointed at Mr. Mulroney and said: “You lied to us. You made promises that you wouldn’t touch (OAS). It’s goodbye, Charlie Brown!” The Prime Minister backed down (though he did manage to implement a modest clawback for high-income seniors in 1989).

Who Was Helmuth Hübener?

I knew what Truth & Treason was about before I watched it. I thought I’d seen enough movies about Nazi Germany to be able to get through it in one piece. But no: by the end of this thing I was in tears.

Truth & Treason is based on the true story of Helmuth Hübener, who, as the closing title cards tell us, was “the youngest resistance fighter in Nazi Germany to be sentenced to death for taking a stand against Hitler.” He was 16 at the time of his arrest, and 17 when he was executed.

Muslim and Migrant Fatigue

Limoges France Riot

What has become clear is that liberal democracy may not depend on shared ethnicity, but it absolutely depends on a shared culture.

At a Fidesz party meeting last weekend, Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán opened his remarks by noting how Donald Trump has been forced to deal with extraordinary efforts by the liberal establishment to destroy him.

One day earlier, anti-Trump forces around the U.S. gathered for coordinated public protests called “No Kings 2.0.” It was kind of a joke, honestly. Critics noted the disproportionate presence of white liberal Baby Boomers. Well, it turns out that a conservative research team relying on publicly available information discovered that the No Kings movement is funded by—surprise!—George Soros and other progressive oligarchs.

Stop being polite and start demanding free speech, one Canadian researcher argues after Kirk shooting

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the murder of Charlie Kirk, the Heritage Foundation’s Liana Graham, a research assistant for domestic policy, was inspired by headlines she saw in the Canadian press about Kirk’s assassination to write an op-ed arguing that Canadian censorship and silencing of dissent lead to a dehumanizing culture that invites political violence.

In turn, the National Post reached out to Graham, a dual citizen of both Canada and the United States, to discuss what she sees as the political and media forces impacting censorship and free expression in Canada.

This interview has been condensed for length and clarity.

Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was the most sinister pupil I’ve ever seen, says his teacher

But his parents thought he was a ‘good boy’ and it was all ‘someone else’s fault’

A headteacher today described the Southport killer as ‘sinister, unpredictable and the most unusual’ pupil she had ever encountered in her career.

Axel Rudakubana was enrolled at The Acorns School, in Ormskirk, Lancashire, aged 13, after being expelled from mainstream education for taking a knife into classes.

Headteacher Joanne Hodson told the public inquiry investigating his crimes that, from his first day, she realised the teenager was ‘very high risk’.

In conversation with Nick Land, the ‘father of accelerationism’

Within Silicon Valley, Nick Land is seen almost as a mythic figure. Tech pioneer Marc Andreessen, an official advisor to the White House, lists him as a “patron saint” of his thinking. You may have heard him described as a founding member of the “Dark Enlightenment,” a movement of online right-wingers skeptical of liberal democracy. Land’s name comes up in academic circles, online mythology and Valley folklore. For some, he’s a prophet; for others something more sinister.

“He’s really into demons,” explained Conrad Flynn on a recent Tucker Carlson Show episode about the occult. “Land will talk about being in communication with Satan… the legend around Land is he had been possessed by at least three or four demons.” It makes for a good story, the crypto-fascist Satanist of the tech world.

Blacklock’s Reporter says auditors found widespread “gaps” in how the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) manages its duty firearms, ammunition, and security systems.

Who Are the Real Kings?

Democrats cry “No Kings” while wielding royal power—raiding rivals, silencing dissent, and crowning heirs without a single vote.

o-called King, Donald Trump, ran in two contested Republican primaries.

He ran three times in a general election.

He was elected twice, and his party recently won a Republican Congress.

In contrast, in 2020, Joe Biden did not run a typical campaign.

Mark Carney admits broader trade deal with Donald Trump won’t happen anytime soon

Prime Minister Mark Carney admitted a broader trade agreement with U.S. President Donald Trump is no longer within reach and gave his strongest signal yet that talks to lift 25-per-cent auto tariffs will be punted to next year’s review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement.

The prime minister, speaking on the eve of a nine-day trip to Asia where he will meet Trump, said he is still working to get a better deal for autoworkers and that “starts with working up the supply chain on (eliminating tariffs on) steel and aluminum. We go to that, so it’s part of a bigger set of negotiations with the Americans.”
