Eric Ham: The truth behind the smiles

The expectations were high for the second bilateral meeting between Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump, with Canadians seeking relief from punishing tariffs as the White House continues to wage its quixotic trade war against the world.

The love fest hit new highs as both men offered glowing compliments and bromides amid their blossoming bromance. Still, through the veil of laughter and love, deep intractable challenges that many are hoping for resolution still went unresolved.

With progressives’ birthrates falling, Canada’s future (might be) Conservative

I won’t deny them.

Two graphs in recent weeks have highlighted the intersection of demographics and party politics. The first shows that in both the United States and across the developed world, birth rates are falling much faster among progressives than among conservatives. This isn’t a small or marginal difference. The data show that progressive households are increasingly postponing or forgoing children altogether, while conservative households are having children at rates closer to the replacement birth rate. Over time, these differences compound and could lead to deep consequences for culture, economics, and politics.

More Marijuana Users Are Crash Dummies

High-on-pot drivers are contributing to more highway accident deaths.

How much social and public-health damage will Americans suffer before doing a U-turn on marijuana promotion? A new study finds that more than 40% of drivers who died in car accidents in one U.S. county over the last six years had elevated levels of the drug in their blood.

Researchers from Wright State University analyzed driver autopsy results from car crashes in Montgomery County, Ohio, between January 2019 and September 2024. More than four in 10 tested positive for pot’s psychoactive ingredient THC, with an average level of 30.7 nanograms. That’s more than six times the level most states use to define impairment.

Canadian Jews facing disregard, whether it’s deliberately provocative or ignorantly obtuse

On the world stage where tragedy is an ever-running production, hopefully the curtain is finally coming down on the war in Gaza and the remaining hostages will come home.

Israel and Hamas have accepted at least the first phase of the ceasefire deal driven by President Donald Trump. The remaining abductees, living and dead, are to be released. Rejoicing Palestinians are flooding back to the wreckage of their homes and lives.

The crime wave threatening electric car sales

The soaring value of copper has sparked a series of thefts that threaten the future of EVs

Shortly before midnight on a Friday two weeks ago, a man in a black hoodie and shorts emerged from the trees near a roadside pub in Chelmsford, Essex, brandishing a pair of garden shears.

One by one, he cut the cables attached to four electric car charging stations before disappearing back into the darkness.

Why U.S. tariffs for Canada and others won’t go away anytime soon

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s team arrived in Washington this week with high hopes for a trade breakthrough, but even with Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, still in talks late into the week before heading home on Friday, Canada’s bid for tariff relief appears to remain out of reach. So why is Washington insistent on a tariff-laden trade framework?

Chicago: Violent insurrectionist shot by US border patrol after car ramming ICE agents indicted by federal grand jury

A Chicago woman shot multiple times by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents was recently indicted by a grand jury on federal charges of impeding a federal officer with a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors allege Marimar Martinez, 30, rammed the vehicle of federal agents with her own before they shot her, which they say was an act of self-defense. They also claim Martinez was armed.

Martinez’s lawyer, Christopher Parente, said footage from one of the agent’s body-worn cameras contradicted that account, and Martinez will plead not guilty at an arraignment scheduled in the coming days.

Illegal alien trucker with ‘No Name Given’ on NY driver’s license ID’d as Indian after arrest in Oklahoma

The truck driver caught in Oklahoma with a New York State commercial driver’s license without a first name was identified as an Indian migrant who illegally entered the country in 2023.

ICE agents arrested Anmol Anmol after he was stopped by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol during a routine inspection at a truck scale off I-40 last month, the Department of Homeland Security said Friday.

Anmol handed over his legitimate New York-issued driver’s license, which had the words “No Name Given” in place of his first and middle monikers.

How Canada got immigration right for so long – and then got it very, very wrong

Between 2021 and 2024, the United States had the highest level of immigration in its history.

That was the conclusion of a New York Times analysis published in late 2024. It estimated that over the four years of President Joe Biden’s administration, about eight million people had immigrated. This movement of people, powered by asylum claimants crossing the Mexican border, represented, said the Times, “a faster pace of arrivals than during any other period on record, including the peak years of Ellis Island, when millions of Europeans came to the United States.”

“Even after taking into account today’s larger U.S. population, the recent surge is the most rapid since at least 1850.”
