Gage Haubrich: Mark Carney’s carbon tariff would hurt Canadians and help no one

It would be hard to come up with a dumber tariff plan than President Donald Trump, but Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney is giving it his best shot.

Carney released his carbon tax plan recently and it contained a tariff, a carbon tariff.

Carney said he would “change” the carbon tax. But he would replace it with a hidden industrial carbon tax. And, on top of it all, he would impose carbon tariffs on imports. In former central banker speak, this tariff is called a “Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.”

Trump under fire for likening himself to Napoleon amid attacks on judges

Critics rounded on Donald Trump on Sunday for likening himself to Napoleon in a “dictatorial” social media post echoing the French emperor’s assertion that “he who saves his country does not violate any laws”.

The post came at the end of another tumultuous week early in Trump’s second presidency, during which acolytes questioned the legitimacy of judges making a succession of rulings to stall his administration’s aggressive seizure or dismantling of federal institutions and budgets.

His defiance of some of those orders, including one ordering a restoration of funding to bodies such as the National Institutes of Health, has led to several of the president’s opponents declaring a constitutional crisis.

These same critics were content to subvert democracy and play along as a degenerate Deep State and an even more degenerate 1st Family pretended Joe Biden was running the country.

Brazen Canadian ‘coyotes’ smuggling migrants across the northern border — even advertising on TikTok

Smugglers are brazenly using TikTok to advertise their human-trafficking services across the Canada-US border — undercutting the Great White North’s position as it tries to hammer out a critical deal with the US on tariffs and security, The Post has learned.

For close to a year, the Canadian “coyotes” — who largely target Indian nationals — promise a hassle-free trip to the States for as much as $5,000, with new border-crossing accounts popping up every time others are removed from the platform.

The posts often feature a US flag waving over a wooded northern border, set to Indian music, urging wannabe border crossers to DM them for more details.

Political tensions are redoubling Canada’s great hockey anxiety

Canadians have been booing the US anthem for weeks over Trump’s proposed tariffs. But it’s no wonder that tensions boiled over when the US finally met Canada on the ice

As usual, Canadians approached the latest international hockey tournament, the 4 Nations Face-Off, with worry. Despite top-tier talent and historic winning pedigree, the feeling that Canada could be off its game is a perennial concern. But in 2025, it is particularly profound – mostly because of the Americans.

Since the last time Canada played the US at an elite tournament in 2016, Canadians have watched the American program grow stronger and deeper, while Canada’s own has lost focus. Among the most pressing going concerns has been goaltending. Canada – or Québec more accurately – produced dominant goalies in excess for decades. No longer. They’re all Americans now.

Europe’s Asylum Catastrophe: A Warning America Cannot Ignore

The migrant crime waves sweeping Europe are warnings. We can either heed them now — or prepare to suffer their consequences on our own soil.

It happened again.

Another city, another massacre, another Western government paralyzed by its own self-inflicted crisis.

This week, the streets of Munich ran red as yet another so-called refugee — a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who should have been deported years ago — plowed his car into innocent civilians, injuring 28 people in a horrific act of terror.

Emperor Trump is even now scorching a path towards Iran

Is it any wonder that those watching the White House are reeling after three weeks of this presidency? Dozens of executive orders have been fired off. Tens of thousands of federal employees are out of work. Leaders the world over are struggling to respond to one initiative after another.

The contrast to the mumbling torpor of President Biden’s final months could hardly be more acute. And the breadth of Trump’s onslaught? From great to small, Gaza to Ukraine, or paper drinking straws to Taylor Swift, does anything escape the attentions of the Oval Office?

One from the peanut gallery.

TERRAZZANO: Now is the time to end politician pay raises

Like a bad April Fools’ Day joke, every year on April 1, politicians in Ottawa pad their pockets the very same day they take more money from taxpayers with carbon and alcohol tax hikes.

This year may be no different.

On April 1, backbench MPs will collect a $7,900 pay raise, according to Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates. That will push their annual salary to $211,000.

J.D. Vance’s Munich Wake-Up Call: Democracy, Censorship, and the Will of the People

Everyone agrees that Vice President J. D. Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference on Friday was remarkable.

I do not mean that everyone liked it.

For example, Boris Pistorius, the German Defense Minister, sniffed—or perhaps “smoldered” would be a more accurate term—that Vance’s remarks were “not acceptable.”

And then there is Bill Kristol, a sort of Greta Thunberg of the rancid former right, who thundered that Vance’s speech was “a humiliation for the U.S. and a confirmation that this administration isn’t on the side of the democracies.”

Trump ‘definitively’ looking at Canada becoming U.S. state: Premier Furey

The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador says he found it “incredibly concerning” to hear senior staff from U.S. President Donald Trump’s office convey that the commander-in-chief is “very serious” when he talks about annexing Canada.

“As Canadians, we need to realize that he is not joking, that he is definitively looking towards the 51st state being Canada,” Andrew Furey told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos, in an interview airing Sunday. “He’s had a chance to change that narrative, and not only has he doubled down, I think he’s quadrupled down now on saying that.”

… In a video statement, he called for people commenting on the car ramming incident to express themselves “respectfully” and not to create “political propaganda” out of it.
