Trump didn’t chicken out. So what’s Canada’s next move?

Canada has now learned that the derisive acronym TACO — often slapped on U.S. President Donald Trump — is inaccurate and needs to be tweaked to something more like “Trump (Almost) Always Chickens Out.”

Despite putting decidedly lower tariffs than he’d threatened on dozens of countries around the globe and giving Mexico a 90-day reprieve from his threat to raise its tariff rate, Trump singled out Canada for an increase.

While there’s no way that Canada can characterize what happened as a win, there’s plenty of evidence that it’s not a reason for Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government to panic and do something that jeopardizes what really matters for the Canadian economy: tariff-free access to the U.S. for the vast majority of exports.

Not For Andrew Coyne’s Eyes

It’s a good US rant against the Canadian Weasel Class though some claims are dubious such as that made against our exit from the Afghanistan debacle but overall it will resonate.

France suspends Gaza evacuations after student antisemitism row

France has suspended its programme for receiving Palestinians fleeing Gaza.

The freeze will be in place while authorities investigate a Palestinian student in France who has been accused of making antisemitic remarks online, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has said.

The 25-year-old woman was on a scholarship in northern France’s city of Lille and will have to leave the country after her university withdrew her accreditation.

Doug Ford says things that Mark Carney can’t as Donald Trump’s trade war escalates

Doug Ford says the quiet part out loud.

The loquacious Ontario premier has always been quotable, but rarely more so than when he’s railing against U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade attack on Canada.

Helpfully playing the bad cop to partner Mark Carney‘s good cop, Ford, as a subnational leader, can get away with saying things the prime minister cannot.

The secret Labour plot to silence migrant hotel critics

A secretive Whitehall unit complained to US tech giants about social media posts criticising asylum hotels, immigration and ‘two-tier’ policing, it has emerged.

Officials working for Technology Secretary Peter Kyle warned TikTok about videos with ‘concerning narratives’ and claimed they were ‘exacerbating tensions’ on the streets.

Emails sent by the Government’s National Security and Online Information Team (NSOIT) during last year’s Southport riots have been obtained by a US congressional committee.

Transgender serial sex offender gets indefinite sentence after TMU attack. Judge ‘alarmed’ by transfer to female jail

A Toronto judge has designated a repeat sex offender as dangerous and handed down an indefinite prison sentence — while expressing concern that the prisoner, who identifies as transgender, was granted a transfer to a women’s detention facility.

In a sentencing decision released last week, Ontario Court Justice Brock Jones said he was “alarmed” to learn that Charles Waddling-Leeson had been moved to a provincial women’s detention facility after starting a gender transition from male to female while in custody.

Auschwitz museum orders visiting Israeli soldiers to remove flags

A delegation of Israeli soldiers visiting the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum have been ordered to remove national flags during an annual ceremony.

In what is believed to be the first time such an order has occurred at the event, the “humiliating” incident was blamed on “antisemitism and an attempt to reshape the historical narrative” by a member of the delegation.

Amy Hamm: On Feucht and Hockey Canada ruling, ignore the angry mobs

It’s best not to be ruled by mobs. Not in our thinking, and particularly not in our actions.

Not by the mob that has spent the past week denouncing Christian rock singer Sean Feucht, and not by the mob currently insisting that the exoneration, in a sexual assault trial, of five former members of Canada’s 2018 world junior hockey team was wrong, both legally and morally.

German Stores Lock Up Goods as Migrant Theft Surges

A wave of shoplifting across Germany—with migrants increasingly behind the thefts—is forcing major retailers to lock away goods and rethink how they operate. As losses mount into the billions, supermarkets are now treating everyday items like high-security stock.

Junge Freiheit reports that a Kaufland supermarket in the eastern state of Thuringia has removed expensive alcoholic drinks from its shelves, replacing them with tokens that customers must take to the information desk after purchase. Staff say the move became necessary after organised thieves began clearing out shelves “rucksack by rucksack”.

CHARLEBOIS: Canada’s food chain just got tariff-slapped — again. Ottawa has only itself to blame.

As August 1 quietly slipped by, so did Canada’s last, best chance to avoid a sharp escalation in trade tensions with its most important economic partner. Unlike Mexico, which secured a temporary reprieve, Canada is now fully exposed to a 35% tariff imposed by the United States on a range of non-USMCA-covered goods. For the Canadian agri-food sector — and for consumers from coast to coast — this is less a policy adjustment and more a gut punch.
