Trump says 35% tariff letter sent to Carney is ‘the deal’

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that the letters he sent to Prime Minister Mark Carney and other leaders about new tariff rates are “the deals”, as Carney prepares to meet with his cabinet on tariffs and the trade negotiations.

Trump appeared to be losing patience with his administration’s efforts to make trade deals with nations around the world. The president has been sending letters to trading partners, including Canada, threatening to impose higher tariff rates on Aug. 1. The letter addressed to Carney last week said Canada would be hit with 35 per cent tariffs but the White House later said it would not include goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade.

‘Not our war’ – Trump’s Nato weapons deal for Ukraine sparks MAGA anger

Some conservative members of Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement have reacted angrily to the president’s plans to sell weapons to Nato, arguing it is a betrayal of his promise to end US involvement in foreign wars.

On Monday, Trump said he would send weapons to Ukraine via Nato, while also threatening Russia with more tariffs if a deal to end the war is not reached in 50 days.

Republican Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene, a key Trump ally, and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon are among those who have criticised the decision, with Bannon telling his podcast listeners that Ukraine is a “European war”.

Man with al Qaeda ties likely to plead guilty to terror offence in Montreal: lawyer

A man with ties to al-Qaida who allegedly threatened to bomb public transit will likely plead guilty, his lawyer said Monday at the Montreal courthouse.

Mohamed Abdullah Warsame, 51, appeared in court by video conference from Montreal’s Rivière-des-Prairies detention centre, where he waived his right to a bail hearing.

Warsame was arrested June 5 and later charged with uttering threats after allegedly telling an employee at a Montreal homeless shelter he wanted to build bombs and detonate them on public transit.

Today In “How Corrupt Is The LPC?” – Before joining cabinet, public safety minister wrote immigration support letters for terror group ‘member’

Before joining cabinet, public safety minister wrote immigration support letters for terror group ‘member’

Before he was appointed to the federal cabinet two years ago, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree wrote letters urging Canadian officials to approve the immigration application of a man they had determined was a member of a terrorist organization.

The letters, dated 2023 and 2016, were written on Anandasangaree’s House of Commons letterhead and sent to the Canada Border Services Agency on behalf of an alleged member of Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tigers who wanted to move to Toronto.

Identity politics attracts the world’s parasites.

This is how justice has gone so awry in twenty-first century Britain

A while back I came across some people who were actually being deported by the Home Office. They were an American couple running the only shop in a remote part of Scotland. Locals were up in arms about the nice couple being booted out.

I think of them when I see stories about some of the people who are allowed to stay in this country by our courts. The Ugandan murderer who clubbed a man to death in the back of an ambulance but was allowed to stay because of his mental health. The Pakistani paedophile was allowed to stay because his life would be at risk back home. The Jamaican murderer who can’t be deported because a rival criminal gang in his native country might harm him.

Amy Hamm: Canada’s sluggish criminal trials don’t take fentanyl trafficking seriously

U.S. President Donald Trump said fentanyl was his reason for slapping a 35 per cent tariff on our country, to take effect on Aug. 1. Whether that was a fair excuse or not, Canada is indeed doing an abysmal job of dealing with crime, including drug trafficking.

In June, a judge on the Supreme Court of British Columbia granted a stay of proceedings in the case of Margaret Rose Conrad, who was tried for illegally possessing a conducted energy weapon (possibly a Taser), along with various controlled substances for the purpose of trafficking. She racked up eight charges in total.

One of history’s biggest expulsions: Iran is throwing out 4m Afghans

In rented rooms in a remote village in eastern Iran, Bamin Bahmani and her husband clutch their two small sons, bags all packed, and wait for a dreaded knock on the door. Every day tens of thousands of Afghans like them are rounded up and sent back to the worst place in the world for a woman.

More than 1.1 million Afghans have been deported from Iran this year, half of these in the past five weeks, making it one of the largest forced expulsions in modern history. The Iranian authorities say they will not stop until they have expelled all undocumented Afghans, an estimated four million.

Poilievre calls for ‘very hard caps’ on immigration to better integrate newcomers

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for a tougher stance on immigration, saying Monday he wants to see “very hard caps” on the number of newcomers allowed into the country.

Speaking to reporters at a news conference in Ottawa, Poilievre said the country has struggled to integrate newcomers and he wants to see more people leaving than coming in “while we catch up.”

“We have millions of people whose permits will expire over the next couple of years, and many of them will leave,” he said. “We need more people leaving than coming for the next couple years.”

Green Dogma Forces the Dutch To Ration Electricity

More than 10,000 Dutch businesses—as well as hospitals, fire stations, and thousands of new houses—are waiting for electricity network connections, and in some cases will have to continue waiting until the mid-2030s.

The country has taken a rapid turn to ‘renewable’ energy in recent years, with millions of homes now having solar panels on their roofs, while shifting away from more reliable sources, especially gas. This zealous drive towards net zero is proving incompatible with rapid electrification increases, and has forced network operators to ration power.

Don Cherry ‘Disappointed’ By Ron MacLean’s Remarks on Health, Hockey Night in Canada Departure

Don Cherry says his 2019 exit from Hockey Night in Canada was not a planned “exit strategy” due to ill health, despite recent comments made by former long-time co-anchor Ron MacLean.

The now 91-year-old former co-host of Coach’s Corner said he was caught off guard by MacLean’s recent comments to the Kingston Whig Standard, which suggested that Cherry made a politically incorrect comment because he was battling pneumonia and no longer had the energy to do the show.

Poilievre categorically rejects Western independence

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has rejected the notion of Alberta independence, and instead suggests forming alliances with other provinces to overhaul Ottawa’s oppressive system.

He acknowledged Alberta has been “under relentless attack” for decades, with the province paying more than it receives into Ottawa’s equalization fund, and enduring federal anti-oil and anti-gun laws.

Spanish voters are embracing remigration

Spain has long lagged behind its neighbours when it comes to Europe’s Right-wing populist shift, but that may be about to change. New polling has Right-wing party Vox rising to 18.9% of the vote — a gain of 5.7 percentage points since last month. It is no coincidence that, earlier this month, Vox vowed to deport eight million foreigners from Spain should it win the next election. This tougher stance echoes the embrace of “remigration” policies by parties such as Germany’s AfD, marking a sharp shift in Spain’s debate over immigration.
