Over the weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump promised Americans cheaper steaks by saying he’s ready to buy beef from Argentina. It was a classic populist flourish — short on economics, long on optics.
But beneath the campaign-style rhetoric lies a deeper story: How global beef politics are shifting, and how Canada could quietly become a price-taker in its own market.
US President Donald Trump’s plan for ending the Hamas-Israel war states that “Gaza will be a de-radicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.” His plan also stipulates that “Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough” and that “once all [Israeli] hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty.”
Although Hamas has released the 20 living hostages and, since the announcement of Trump’s plan in early October, has handed over the bodies of some of the fallen, the Gaza Strip remains anything but a “de-radicalized terror-free zone.”
On Wednesday, laid-off employees at the Stellantis plant in Brampton, Ont., received a robocall delivering bad news: they had no jobs to go back to.
It was another stall on the road for Canada’s automotive strategy, which has seen federal and provincial governments dole out mounds of cash and add regulations and protective tariffs in a floundering attempt to create more jobs and build a state-of-the-art electric vehicle industry.
More American voters support President Donald Trump’s decision to designate Antifa a terror organization than those who don’t, according to new polling.
The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll shows 49% of American voters support the designation compared to 30% who oppose the move, while 21% remain unsure.
OTTAWA—For weeks now, the United States navy has been engaging and sinking small civilian vessels off the coast of Venezuela.
The result is a half-dozen Venezuelan boats sunk, and an estimated 20 people killed.
U.S. President Donald Trump and his Secretary of War Pete Hegseth claim these attacks are part of the American military’s new, more robust rules of engagement.
Let those Narco boats Go Uncle Sam!
Duke of York launched smear campaign to ‘cast doubt’ on Virginia Giuffre’s credibility, memoir reveals
Prince Andrew’s team tried to hire “internet trolls to hassle” Virginia Giuffre, her posthumous memoir has claimed.
In her book Nobody’s Girl, which was published on Tuesday, Giuffre also reveals details about behind-the-scenes negotiations during civil litigation ahead of the Prince’s scheduled deposition.
This eventually led to a settlement deal, which came after her lawyer read Andrew’s agreed statement to her at 2.30am “through tears, both hers and mine”.
WELLAND — On a frigid winter evening, evil came out to play.
By the time the smoke had cleared in the early morning hours of Jan. 19, 2021, Juliana Pannunzio, 20, of Windsor, and Christine Crooks, 18, of Toronto, had been shot and killed.
Your taxpayer dollars and mine were paying for a special makeup artist at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) — that is, until DOGE got involved.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut contracts with a ceiling value of around $17 billion altogether over the last three weeks. It seems as if the waste and fraud in our federal government is endless, and DOGE has to wade through an absolute mountain of corrupt insanity as it tries to restore fiscal responsibility to the government.
If Canadians can find a single takeaway from this year’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, on Sept. 30, it’s that, rather than being a sombre day to reflect on historical injustices suffered by Indigenous-Canadians — because there were indeed many — it has instead become a war between those who are rightfully concerned with accuracy and truth, and those who have foolishly abandoned truth in favour of narrative and grievance peddling.
Actor Robert De Niro has called on Americans to keep up the anti-Trump protests, fearing the president will “not leave the White House.”

Toronto is a “world-class city,” says its mayor Olivia Chow. But for a growing number of its residents, the city is unrecognizable from decades ago, whether it’s the homelessness, open drug use, empty storefronts, or crumbling infrastructure.

As the race to lead in artificial intelligence intensifies, Silicon Valley startups are promoting hardcore cultures like “996”
SAN FRANCISCO — Magnus Müller works around-the-clock, including Saturdays and Sundays. Sometimes that might mean starting at 7 a.m. until he goes to sleep at midnight or 1 a.m. The co-founder and CEO of the AI start-up Browser Use lives in a co-living space known as a “hacker house” with five others in the upscale Marina neighborhood of San Francisco. This living situation allows his team to convene around a whiteboard at 1 a.m. to work out new ideas for AI agents.
We are living in an era of historic spending on Indigenous priorities. The 2024–25 federal budget devotes nearly $32 billion toward programs and services. That level of commitment demands more than applause — it demands evidence and accountability. The question is simple: where is all that money going, and is it truly reaching the people it is meant to help?
When China tightened restrictions on rare-earth exports this month, stunning the White House, it was the latest reminder of Beijing’s control over an industry vital to the world economy.
Its dominance was decades in the making.
Since the 1990s, China has used aggressive tactics to build up and maintain its lock over rare-earth minerals, which are essential to making magnets needed for cars, wind turbines, jet fighters and other products.
