Karoline Leavitt may go down as the best White House press secretary this country has ever had. Her exit last month stung, but now that she’s no longer behind the podium, she’s dishing about what happened behind the scenes, and what she revealed on Tuesday is a doozy.
Mark Carney was in the room when two starkly different visions of the world order were laid before the United Nations General Assembly.
One came from the secretary-general of the UN, António Guterres. The other came from Donald Trump.
It was immediately evident, within the span of two hours, which world view would be embraced by Canada’s prime minister. Another day, another milepost in Canada’s increasing distance from Trump’s United States.
Infamous hacking group ShinyHunters claims to have stolen data on every FBI employee and applicant, and defaced the bureau’s jobs website to prove it. The hackers claim to have breached the FBI by exploiting Oracle’s Peoplesoft platform.
For all the elbows-up talk on Donald Trump, schools still teach kids that Canada is the problem. If it isn’t white supremacy, it’s toxic masculinity or some other problem that only radical teachers can solve.
Based on what I’ve seen in just the first two weeks of the school year, the Doug Ford government hasn’t done nearly enough to rein in Ontario’s education system.
Face it Ford is complicit, he’ll do anything for a vote and that includes labeling your children as racists.
Former Hollywood giant Harvey Weinstein was sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexually assaulting his former assistant, Miriam Haley, more than six years after the disgraced producer was first convicted.
Weinstein, 74, was sentenced Wednesday in New York for forcibly performing oral sex on Haley at his apartment in 2006. A jury convicted Weinstein of the charge during a retrial last year after the state’s highest court overturned his original conviction.
A conservative premier in Canada revealed the staggering cost migrants have on her province and the small contribution they make in return.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, 55, spotlighted at a press conference on Monday that $1 billion CAD [$710.2 million USD] is annually spent on health care and education for temporary residents.
Smith claimed that migrants contribute just $150 million CAD [$106.5 million USD] to provincial tax revenues, far less than a quarter of what they cost the region.
President Trump signed a deal with the leaders of Greenland and Denmark to pave the way for a larger U.S. military presence on the Arctic island and end a monthslong standoff that has soured Washington’s relations with European allies.
The three leaders met Tuesday at a signing ceremony on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The agreement builds on a 1951 treaty between the U.S. and Denmark, but adds provisions including a more significant buy-in from Greenland as a self-governing territory.
Here are the highlights
Canada’s medical assistance in dying, or MAID, program continues to produce the grotesque results that its detractors warned about.
The latest MAID horror north of the border was first reported in a Substack post by Kelsi Sheren titled “The Last Ten Days of Brigitte ‘GG’ Stegemann.”
In the expansive grasslands of Inner Mongolia, farmers are picking plump potatoes alongside new neighbours: huge, rectangular blocks that will fuel China’s AI platforms.
Ulanqab, with its steppes and volcanoes, is an unlikely digital frontier. For years, it has been China’s official “potato capital”. But now its fields have also become construction sites for a slew of data centres, as Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping meet to discuss AI safety among other things.
Hundreds of workers in yellow helmets carry heavy equipment into the building site as welding sparks fly off metal scaffolding. Above them huge cranes move with precision to build rooftops, while men balance on ladders to plaster brickwork.
Full steam ahead or else.
OTTAWA — Former prime minister Justin Trudeau said the U.S. is an “extremely unpredictable” partner because President Donald Trump’s administration is “no longer working” in the best interest of Americans.
The former prime minister shared his thoughts on the current Trump administration as part of a question and answer session with Brown University President Christina Paxson in Rhode Island on Tuesday.
The US Department of Justicehas defended Donald Trump’s decision to ban three new organizations from the White House in a court filing, arguing that access to the grounds was a “privilege” and citing national security concerns.
Lawyers for the US president doubled down on Trump’s claims about CNN, Politico and MS Now reporting “Fake News” and insisted the ban did not violate the first amendment because “access to the White House is a privilege, not a right”.
U.S. President Donald Trump says, “Canada is destroying itself by allowing millions and millions of people into the Country.”
He made the statement on his Truth Social platform Wednesday morning, accusing Canada of allowing people in who are “essentially unchecked and unvetted” and ”causing problems that will soon be too big to handle.”
President Donald Trump was wrong to launch his trade war on Canada, majorities of adults in both countries agree.
Now Canadians of all political stripes are rallying around their government, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, while in the United States, even some self-identified MAGA voters are worried about the political fallout for Trump.
I never imagined Politico publishing such a piece!
Mark Carney and Donald Trump are from different planets. And the Canada–US border now represents a face-off line on big issues in Western ideology.
While Carney praises climate action and net zero, Trump calls it all a hoax and says, “Drill, baby, drill.” While Trump declares, “We reject the ideology of globalism,” Carney worships it in his Davos speech.
Donald Trump on Tuesday said he backed the idea of a ban on diesel exports, which some US politicians are calling for as a way to curb the soaring cost of energy.
Diesel prices have rallied in Europe and the US to record highs as wars in Iran and Ukraine sharply cut exports from some of the biggest producers such as Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. A gallon of diesel fuel in the US was $6.53 on Tuesday, the highest average on record and over 75% higher than a year ago.
