Trump, in a new interview, says ‘highly unlikely’ military force needed to make Canada 51st state

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump, in a new interview, was circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution.

He also said he does not think military force will be needed to make Canada the “51st state” and played down the possibility he would look to run for a third term in the White House.

The comments in a wide-ranging, and at moments combative, interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” came as the Republican president’s efforts to quickly enact his agenda face sharper headwinds with Americans just as his second administration crossed the 100-day mark, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

GREEN: Carney should pull the plug on Canada’s EV revolution

During his election victory speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney repeated one of his favourite campaign slogans and vowed to make Canada a “clean energy superpower.” So, Canadians can expect Ottawa to “invest” more taxpayer money in “clean energy” projects, including electric vehicles (EVs) — the revolutionary transportation technology that’s been ready to replace internal combustion since 1901, yet still requires subsidies.

Anger grows at Prince Harry for saying ‘I don’t know how much longer’ cancer-battling King Charles, 76, has left to live as royal ‘blows his chance of reconciliation with his father’

Prince Harry faces criticism for sparking speculation surrounding His Majesty’s health after saying he didn’t ‘know how much longer’ his 76-year-old father, King Charles, has left to live.

In a bombshell interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex, 40, revealed he wanted to reconcile with the royals, while alleging his father, the monarch, was not currently speaking to him.

It comes after Prince Harry lost his legal challenge over his UK security arrangements at the Court of Appeal. The Duke could potentially appeal the decision, which would then put it in the hands of the Supreme Court.

‘The most honest reflection of the country’: Inside the 905 — the ridings that helped deny Mark Carney a majority

Vina Viejo, a personal support worker in Richmond Hill, supported Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government with votes and campaign donations for almost a decade.

But Viejo’s had a change of heart.

In last Monday’s federal election, she moved her support behind Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives and says she convinced her partner and multiple family members — about 15, she estimates, except for one holdout sister — to join her in abandoning the Liberals.

Britain is ‘compliant servant of communist China’, says Trump’s tariff chief

Donald Trump’s tariffs tsar has accused Britain of being a “compliant servant of communist China” at risk of having its “blood sucked” dry by Beijing.

Peter Navarro, the president’s economic adviser, said the Government must resist “string-laden gifts” from Beijing and avoid becoming a “dumping ground” for goods that China can no longer sell to the US.

In an intervention set to complicate trade negotiations between Britain and America, he told The Telegraph: “If the Chinese vampire can’t suck the American blood, it’s going to suck the UK blood and the EU blood.”

Sorry, Mark Carney. America doesn’t need your workshy, defenceless country

“America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country”, declared Mark Carney in his victory speech, after Canada’s general election this week delivered his Liberal Party a plurality of seats in parliament. “These are not idle threats. President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us”, Carney continued, promising that Trump’s oft-repeated plans to absorb Canada as America’s 51st state are “never, ever going to happen”.

Trump’s apparent designs on Canada, which appeared to begin with a social media post calling Carney’s predecessor Justin Trudeau “governor Trudeau”, weighed heavily on the country’s election. The Conservatives still polled their best results since the 1980s, and Carney will have to lead a minority government, but the spectacle of a foreign leader looming so decisively over the elections of a major democracy is Ruritanian to the point of comedy.

Could DNA testing shed new light on 93-year mystery of Lindbergh baby case?

HL Mencken, the prominent journalist and critic, once called it the “greatest story since the Resurrection”. Though it has been 93 years since the Lindbergh baby kidnapping case merged crime, fame and mass media together, the enduring mystery of the crime still holds fascination for many in the US.

The case was shocking. The transatlantic aviator Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh suffered the kidnapping and murder of their 20-month-old baby son on 1 March 1932. Now a new lawsuit filed in New Jersey – where the crime played out – seeks to force the state police to allow mitochondrial DNA testing on envelopes used to send a series of ransom notes.

Remarkable scenes of gratitude greet Canadian war veterans in the Netherlands

Apeldoorne Netherlands Liberation Day

As a former Spitfire pilot who flew 60 missions over Nazi-occupied Europe during the Second World War, George Brewster is not one to be rattled easily.

But he says experiencing the warmth and gratitude of the Dutch people who have come out to cheer him and other Canadian Second World War veterans this weekend has left him speechless.

Well done.

ALBERS: ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ — the Canadian version

I suspect — and I do so with the weary confidence of one who has seen this show before — that many Albertans, like myself, spent Monday night and much of Tuesday morning not so much watching but enduring the latest federal election returns. As the results trickled in, and then poured in like an unwelcome flood, a rather vivid cinematic analogy presented itself to my mind.
