‘Kissing Trump’s a**’: President mocks Canada’s obsequious PM as he begs for tariff relief

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has been accused of sucking up to Donald Trump after praising the ‘transformative president’ at the White House today.

Carney met Trump seeking to ease US tariffs that are hitting Canada’s economy – and his popularity at home.

The 60-year-old former Bank of England governor joked: ‘I wore red for you’, pointing to his tie as Trump greeted him outside the west wing. Trump often wears a red tie, although on this occasion he was wearing a blue one.

Too many Canadians are leaving ERs before getting assessed

Last year, more than 1.2 million Canadians walked into an emergency room desperate for help, and walked out without ever being treated. That’s one in 13 patients nationwide. These people didn’t leave because their problems weren’t serious, but because the wait was simply too long.

A new report from the Montreal Economic Institute, or MEI, provides the first national snapshot of this troubling trend. Researchers obtained data directly from provincial ministries of health to track how many patients left emergency departments without being seen in 2024. The results are sobering.


Gotta give all that free healthcare to the 3rd World invaders our government ordered.

Venezuela on edge over Trump regime change whispers: ‘If it does happen we are ready’

The mayor of Caracas had come to one of her city’s busiest tube stations wearing a camouflage T-shirt declaring herself a card-carrying combatant – and with a message to match.

“They think they’re the owners of the world,” Carmen Meléndez complained of the Trump administration and its pressure campaign against Venezuela’s government. “But if they dare [to invade] we’ll be waiting for them here.”

Meléndez said she hoped a US invasion was not on the horizon, even though they had shown themselves to be “a bunch of crazies, who are capable of anything”. “But if it does happen we are ready,” she added, “and we will use all of the weapons we have to defend the homeland.”

‘I guess he’s going to ask about tariffs’: Trump set to host Carney for second Oval Office meeting

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Prime Minister Mark Carney is set to meet today with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, a meeting that political and industry observers are watching to see whether it brings any tariff reprieve.

A senior government official, speaking on a not-for-attribution basis ahead of the trip, tempered expectations about what could be delivered during their second sitdown in Washington since Carney took office back in April.

“Well, I guess he’s going to ask about tariffs ’cause a lot of companies from Canada are moving into the United States,” Trump said when asked about the upcoming meeting on Monday. He did not name which companies.
