Donald Trump’s decision to import Russian fuel to the US represents a remarkable about-face from the president.
Just three weeks ago, Trump signed legislation to authorise fresh American sanctions and tariffs on nations that import Russian oil and gas.
Now, Trump says, Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to supply hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel fuel to the US and world markets in the coming months.
OTTAWA – Canada signed a joint statement in support of the International Criminal Court after the United States moved to sanction the organization today.
The statement says the signatories strongly disagree with the sanctions and reaffirm their “continued and unwavering” support for the court.
Canada issued the statement jointly with Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Gotta poke the Eagle.
US President Donald Trump has said he thinks “it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president” as he responded to Volodymyr Zelensky’s criticism of the US diesel deal with Russia.
The Ukrainian president warned a new deal to release millions of tonnes of Russian diesel into the US would provide Moscow with money to continue its war against his nation, calling it a gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump told reporters outside the White House on Saturday that Zelensky “wants to make problems for the world” by continuing to authorise attacks on Russian refineries.
"I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president."
US President Donald Trump hits out at Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, criticising him for targeting Russian refineries and saying he should be replaced.

The Federal Court has quashed the refusal of an Afghan immigration applicant because the officer’s analysis was “largely copied verbatim” from the first refusal by another colleague against the same man.
In sending the case back to the Immigration Department for a new assessment, Judge Darren R. Thorne ruled that it was procedurally unfair for the officer to refuse the humanitarian and compassionate resettlement application of Atiqullah Lali, who lives without status in Turkey and faces deportation to Afghanistan.
Michigan is a prime flip opportunity for the GOP, and it looks as if the Democrats are engaging in shenanigans to try to steal it.
Start with the motive. Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed are fighting to replace retiring two-term Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), and recent polling shows the contest in a dead heat. The last two surveys that RealClearPolitics tracked put El-Sayed ahead by a single point, well inside the margin of error. Cook Political Report rates Michigan as the only Democrat-held seat in the toss-up column, in a state President Donald Trump carried in two of his three runs.
Paul St. Pierre Plamondon, Quebec’s new premier-designate, is about to shake up Canada’s immigration debate. Like most Quebec politicians, PSPP, as he is known, doesn’t buy into the accepted wisdom of Canada’s Laurentian elite that ever-expanding immigration numbers are good for the country.
As it turns out, people can only speak freely when they say what Sydney Colson wants them to say.
On the most recent episode of Unsupervised with Syd and TP, the podcast Colson co-hosts with fellow former WNBA player Theresa Plaisance, Colson invited white players to “shut the f*ck up” when it comes to commenting on transgender issues.
The Canada Border Services Agency said Thursday members of the Ontario Firearms Smuggling Enforcement Team began the probe after a parcel that arrived from the U.S. on July 23 was intercepted at the agency’s commercial operations facility in Mississauga.
According to the CBSA, border services officers examined the parcel and seized two complete firearms suppressors.
Nasser Gholami was arrested and charged with smuggling prohibited devices under the Customs Act as well as criminal offences, including importing prohibited devices while knowing they are unauthorized, possession of a prohibited device knowing he was not the holder of a licence under which he may possess it, and unsafe display of a non-restricted firearm.
Pollsters and Republican political operatives aren’t fully buying the Democratic polling leads that project the minority party to flip the House and possibly win back the Senate, a task considered herculean at the start of the 2026 election cycle.
Heading into the weekend, polls showed Democrats holding an advantage of more than 8 points over Republicans on generic House ballots, leading most analysts to believe that the chamber will flip majorities in November.
A man who brutally beat and raped a woman, leaving her unrecognizable and “choking on blood” in the bushes of a Calgary subdivision, was sentenced to 12 years in prison last month.
Alberta Court of Justice Judge Allan Fradsham convicted Kepra Udup Bang, 27, earlier this year of the 2019 aggravated sexual assault of the woman identified as MM in court documents under a publication ban to protect her identity.
Under a blistering desert sun, the U.S. Army strained to show it had become a modern, AI-powered fighting force.
Some blamed the heat. It was July in the Mojave Desert, and the thermometer climbed toward 110 degrees. Servers overheated. Batteries died and couldn’t be recharged. Soldiers drenched T-shirts in ice water and draped them over antennas that were on the fritz.
Sgt. Ramontez Bennett’s drone from Anduril Industries was supposed to loiter overhead. Instead, the relentless glare forced it to land. “They gotta do something about it overheating,” he said. Plenty of America’s conflicts have played out in temperatures rivaling this particular July day.
The future is autonomous and scary.
When Elon Musk called for Quebec, Alberta and Saskatchewan to separate from Canada earlier this week, it may have been nothing more than the trillionaire engaging in some anti-Canadian trolling.
But it’s also possible, according to one Musk observer, that the Tesla and Space X CEO had something else in mind.
“I think with Musk, there’s often usually another game being played at the same time,” said Quinn Slobodian, a professor of international history at Boston University who co-authored the book: Muskism: A Guide for the Perplexed.
I wonder if Musk like many of us recognize “Canada” is a near failed state ruined by the Liberal Party.
As dustbins burn and students chant “everyone hates the police” in the French city of Lille, one teenager explains why he and his friends have taken to the streets.
“There aren’t even enough chairs. We have to go and find some at the start of every lesson,” the 16-year-old, who did not want to give his name, says of his school.
“We’ve got 50 minutes to eat at lunchtime but there are 2,000 of us that need to get through the canteen.”
Approaching civil war: France and Belgium are burning… schools torched, businesses looted, churches attacked.
Nearly 300 police injured, a young policewoman chased down and beaten in Paris, thousands of rioters arrested.
And we’re supposed to keep a straight face while the news media and government calls them “students” who just want better schools.
In Brussels barely one resident in five is of Belgian origin. In Aubervilliers, where ‘youths’ set fires and fought police this month, 84% of under-25s had at least one immigrant parent as of 2013. Across Seine-Saint-Denis, immigrants and their children now make up about 70% of the population – mostly Africans.
What we’re watching is a long-term, multi-generational invasion by enclaved, unassimilated cultures that will never be French or Belgian, whatever passport they carry. At some point we have to talk honestly about where the terms ‘unrest’ and ‘riots’ end – and where ‘invasion’ and ‘civil war’ begin.

A B.C. woman who travelled to Syria in 2015 after meeting an ISIS militant online and marrying him has pleaded guilty to a terrorism-related offence, weeks before her scheduled trial.
Kimberly Polman, 54, of Squamish, B.C., pleaded guilty on Oct. 8 in B.C. Supreme Court to leaving Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group.

Donald Trump agreed to buy diesel from Vladimir Putin after Volodymyr Zelensky ignored his requests to stop bombing Russian oil refineries, sources have said.
Mr Trump announced on Friday that Putin would “immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the American and global marketplace”, followed by another 1.5 million tons before the end of the year.
The US president is facing pressure from voters over the cost of fuel before November’s midterms as diesel prices have soared around 70 per cent since he launched a war against Iran. On Friday, a gallon of diesel cost $6.28, up from $3.68 a year ago.
