Canadian special elections indicate voters backing Carney’s stand against Trump

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party swept three special elections late on Monday, in polls that were seen as a key test of whether voters supported his tough stance against President Donald Trump amid a trade war.

Results on Monday showed the Liberals secured contested seats in Quebec, Toronto and British Columbia, according to Canada’s public broadcaster, CBC. The biggest win for the Liberals was in a district in Quebec held by the Conservatives since 2018. The other two seats were already held by Liberals.

Inbred anti-Americanism combined with a dose of TDS is more like it.

Le Pen Vows Referendum on Fines for Islamic Veiling of Women and Girls

Vox populi, vox Dei appears to be the operating strategy for Marine Le Pen and her National Rally party, which has committed to multiple popular referendums should she be elected as the next President of France, including on a potential law to “combat Islamist ideologies” within the country.

The frontrunning presidential candidate confirmed on Monday that, to enforce the ban on Islamic veils in public, she would seek to hold a referendum to impose fines on those who flout the 2010 law, which is currently rarely enforced.

How Trump cut antifa’s global leftist lifeline — and struck a blow for democracy

Left-wing terrorism is a serious problem in the United States, though for political reasons it doesn’t receive anything like the attention right-wing violence gets.

For example, when most people think of violence connected to abortion, they imagine attacks on abortion clinics — yet lately pro-abortion extremists have been firebombing crisis pregnancy centers across the country.

Canada’s auto sector is marked for death. What now?

Autos were at heart of the recent collapse of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, and U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to enact a 50-per-cent auto tariff in January makes it unlikely that we can maintain an integrated North American automotive market while he is around.

Mr. Trump has often proclaimed that Canada should not be producing any vehicles. On Sunday he posted on social media: “I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything.”

Trump suggests he is reviewing US support for UK over Falkland Islands

Donald Trump has suggested he is reconsidering US support for Britain’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, in a move likely to strain the “special relationship” between Washington and London.

“I always review every position – that’s just one of many,” the US president told reporters in the White House, in response to a question about whether he was reviewing the US’s position over the South Atlantic islands, an archipelago whose status has long been disputed by Argentina, which claims sovereignty.

Officially, the US takes a neutral position on who has rightful sovereignty over the islands, which Britain first claimed in the late 17th century and has held almost continually since 1833. In practice, it recognizes British administration over the territory, which was the subject of an Argentinian invasion and subsequent military conflict with Britain in 1982.

Mark Carney tells US to ‘start being serious’ amid escalating trade war

Mark Carney has rebuked Donald Trump’s administration and urged officials in Washington to “start being serious” amid escalating trade tensions between the US and Canada.

Days before Canada is due to retaliate against Trump’s sweeping tariffs with its own duties on US goods, the Canadian prime minister criticized US officials for insulting his country. “It is beneath their office,” he said.

“When the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough and start being serious about having those discussions, we can have those discussions” about trade, Carney said.

AOC’s pivot for 2028 has begun. Will it work?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is jockeying for position ahead of her possible 2028 presidential bid and zeroing in on what is her biggest weakness: electability.

If she enters what is expected to be a crowded Democratic primary, Ocasio-Cortez would be the most well-known liberal in the field and would attract much of the support that backed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the 2016 and 2020 Democratic primaries.

Remigration plan presented at Dominion Society event would reduce Canada’s population by 12 million

CALGARY — Over the weekend at the Dominion Society of Canada’s first-ever nationalist conference, a policy organization presented a sweeping remigration proposal that calls for millions of immigrants to be removed from Canada and the country’s overall population to be reduced by roughly 12 million people.

Lucy White, a British activist and member of the White Papers Policy Institute (WPPI), presented the group’s Canadian Remigration Policy Platform at DomCon 2026 on Saturday in Burlington, Ontario.

Why did Modi urge Putin to end Ukraine war – and will he listen?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been urged by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a close ally, to end Moscow’s war against Ukraine.

“Every day spent in war pushes humanity back, and every step taken towards peace fills humanity with new hope and enthusiasm,” Modi said on Monday.

Modi, whose country’s economy depends heavily on discounted oil from Moscow, has made several similar pleas to Putin since he launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Modi? I don’t think Putin cares.

Michael Higgins: Trade war was never about sovereignty

A week ago, in a spirited, resolute and bombastic press conference, Prime Minister Mark Carney framed the tariff war with the U.S. as nothing less than the survival of Canada.

Carney was determined to “protect Canadian sovereignty,” maintain our “independence and sovereignty,” and “not compromise our sovereignty.”

“The new U.S. tariffs are designed to hurt us and divide us,” he said.

Gas crisis threatens to blow up Germany’s fragile recovery

Germany’s economy has shown surprising signs of strength lately. Consumer, investor and business confidence has rebounded, factories are taking more orders and growth is the fastest since 2022.

This wasn’t on most economists’ bingo cards for 2026. Beleaguered by high energy costs, cut-throat Chinese competition and swathes of red tape, Germany is perennially called “the sick man of Europe”.

But nobody is quite sure whether the patient is set to climb out of the sick bed. If you want to figure that out, you might be better off consulting a meteorologist rather than an economist.

Liberals sweep all three federal byelections

The Liberals swept a trio of federal byelections on Monday night, adding one more member to the ranks of their majority government and picking up a seat that had been held by the Conservatives since 2018.

The Tories posted a disappointing showing in all three races, but none more than the loss of Chicoutimi-Le Fjord, where the party was relegated to a distant third-place finish.
