Trump’s Big Bet: Americans Will Tolerate Economic Downturn to Restore Manufacturing
President Trump’s simultaneous trade wars with Canada, Mexico, China and the European Union amount to a huge economic and political gamble: that Americans will endure months or years of economic pain in return for the distant hope of re-industrializing the American heartland.
It is enormously risky. In recent days, Mr. Trump has acknowledged, despite all his confident campaign predictions that “we are going to boom like we have never boomed before,” that the United States may be headed into a recession, fueled by his economic agenda. But in public and private he has been arguing that “a little disturbance” in the economy and the markets is a small price to pay for bringing manufacturing jobs back to America.
America is a very resilient nation making economic recovery a matter of sooner rather than later.
Ross McKitrick: Carney to lead Canada after trying for years to defund it
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is very concerned about financial conflicts of interest that new Liberal leader (and our next prime minister) Mark Carney may be hiding. But I’m far more concerned about the one out in the open: Carney is now supposed to act for the good of the country after lobbying to defund and drive out of existence Canada’s oil and gas companies, steel companies, car companies and any other sector dependent on fossil fuels. He’s done this through the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), which he founded in 2021.
There is no humanity in his carcass.

‘Only Works as a State’: Trump Vows Not ‘To Bend’ On Tariffs Until Canada Is Absorbed Into The U.S.
President Donald Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday while meeting with the head of NATO and doubled down on his argument that Canada must join the United States.
“No I’m not,” Trump replied when asked if he would reconsider the latest tariffs.
WTF?

US Military pilots ‘going so long without flying they’re forgetting how to’
Military pilots go so long without flying they are forgetting how to do it, whistleblowers claim.
Pilots have warned more people will die unless the US armed forces fix chronic equipment shortages and reverse “dangerous” cuts to the amount of required flying hours.
Some recruits can spend up to a year without a single flight because of aircraft and instructor shortages, current and former US military pilots told The Telegraph.
Mahmoud Khalil Doesn’t Deserve to Be in the U.S.
The former Columbia University student has been a ringleader of anti-Semitic activity and pro-Hamas demonstrations.
Manhattan is home to one less terror-supporter.
On Saturday, immigration enforcement agents arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian national with U.S. permanent resident status, and removed him to a detention facility in Louisiana. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson explained that Khalil’s arrest, in coordination with the State Department, was made “in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism” and because Khalil “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.” A hearing is set for Wednesday after a federal judge blocked Khalil’s deportation on Monday—but the White House has doubled down on its intent to deport him.
We have plenty of similar candidates that should be kicked out of Canada but all our politicos live in fear of losing the Muslim vote.
Carney seems to be following another Liberal’s roadmap — and it’s a cynical one
If prime minister-designate Mark Carney is looking for a roadmap to victory in the upcoming election, he could do worse than follow in the footsteps of Jean Chrétien.
The rules are simple: ignore everything you’ve ever said previously and beat up on the sitting Republican U.S. president at every opportunity.
Amid all the revisionist history that the former prime minister rolled out during his address to last weekend’s Liberal leadership convention, I was struck by the pride Chrétien took in his fiscal management in the late 1990s, having inherited an alleged “mess” from the Progressive Conservatives following the 1993 election.
U.S. Hostage ‘Negotiator’ Says Hamas Wants Peace, Offers ’15-Year Truce’, U.S. Rebuilding of Gaza
The Trump administration’s Gaza policy is completely divided.
On the one hand, President Donald Trump is saying all the right things. On the other hand, his team is going in and saying all the wrong things.
After Trump’s common sense approach, Steve Witkoff, the “envoy” responsible for foisting the disastrous Biden ceasefire on us, would water them down and dismiss the president’s proposals. Now White House Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs, Adam Boehler, who appeared to be a credible figure, decided to directly meet up with Hamas and came out with exactly the sort of thing John Kerry or Jimmy Carter would have come away with.
Matthew Lau: Is Carney just like Justin or lots like Kathleen
In the face of an erratic Donald Trump and because Justin Trudeau left our economy in shambles, Canada desperately needs solid leadership. But is newly crowned Liberal Leader Mark Carney likely to provide that? Or is he just like Justin?
That’s what the Conservatives say he is, and with good reason: Carney spent years in Trudeau’s policy circle, he has advised the government since 2020, he was hired by the Liberals to head the party’s economic “task force” last year, and last December Trudeau tried to make Carney his finance minister. Carney is now trying to disown the Trudeau government’s disastrous record, but his own policies on major issues like government spending, carbon taxes and environmental regulation are no better than Trudeau’s and probably worse.
School founded by refugee from Nazi Germany drops Jewish speaker
An independent school in south Wales established by a refugee from Nazi Germany has faced criticism after withdrawing an invitation to a Jewish journalist after concerns raised by pupils.
Jonathan Sacerdoti had been scheduled to speak at UWC Atlantic last Sunday about journalism and antisemitism.
However, the private sixth-form college, which educates students aged 16-18 from around the world, rescinded the invitation on Friday after some pupils argued that his presence would be “distressing”.
Liberal government revives military co-operation with Ethiopia despite genocide allegations
Canada revives military co-operation with Ethiopia despite genocide allegations
Canada is resuming its military co-operation with Ethiopia, just months after the African country’s armed forces were accused of genocide and other crimes in the war in Tigray region.
The federal government suspended its defence collaboration with Ethiopia three years ago because of the Tigray war in the north of the country, where the Ethiopian military was widely reported to have killed thousands of civilians.
What would you expect of a genocidal state like Canada?
EU Accuses Trump of ‘Blackmailing’ Zelensky!
Yesterday’s pacifists are today’s Rambos, it seems: 442 lawmakers in the 720-seat European Parliament just agreed to a joint declaration that “strongly deplores any attempts at blackmailing Ukraine’s leadership into surrender to the Russian aggressor for the sole purpose of announcing a so-called ‘peace deal.’”
Status of Northvolt’s Quebec Battery Plant Unclear Amid Parent Company’s Bankruptcy
It’s unclear whether Northvolt North America’s electric vehicle battery plant project in Quebec will proceed after its parent company filed for bankruptcy in Sweden on Wednesday.
The manufacturer’s Canadian subsidiary says Northvolt AB underwent an “exhaustive effort … to secure a viable financial and operational future” but was ultimately unsuccessful.
