Terry Newman: What Justin Trudeau isn’t saying

Justin Il Duce Douchebag

On Saturday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted that he and the Liberal party had failed in its negotiations to protect Canadians from 25 per cent tariffs, except that’s not how he framed the situation. Instead, he made it look like his government was powerless to address American concerns about securing our border from potential security threats posed by the crossing of illegal migrants and drugs from Canada into the U.S.

Poilievre promises to hit fentanyl ‘kingpins’ with mandatory life sentences

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said on Wednesday that he will change the Criminal Code if he’s elected so that all drug “kingpins” convicted of trafficking what he’s calling major quantities of fentanyl are hit with a mandatory life sentence in prison.

The policy announcement comes as President Donald Trump presses neighbouring Canada and Mexico to take a harder line on fentanyl to stop the flow of the deadly drug into the U.S. or face big tariffs.

U.S. government data shows comparatively little of the drug is coming over the northern border, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has committed more money and resources — including the appointment of a fentanyl “czar” — to crack down and satisfy Trump’s concerns.

How the Catholic Church Became a Champion of Biden’s Open Borders

Church groups grew massively with government funding for the controversial immigrant and refugee programs that Trump is now cutting.

Vice President J. D. Vance has emerged as one of the Trump administration’s unwavering defenders on many issues. One of his most widely quoted retorts to critics occurred on the January 26 edition of CBS’s Face the Nation. Vance was responding to statements by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops condemning as “deeply troubling” the administration’s enforcement actions against illegal aliens and its pause of government-funded refugee-resettlement programs. As a Catholic, Vance said, the criticism left him “heartbroken.” Then he hit out at the church for its role in garnering hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts to serve immigrants over the last several years. “I think that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops needs to actually look in the mirror a little bit and recognize that when they receive over $100 million to help resettle illegal immigrants, are they worried about humanitarian concerns? Or are they actually worried about their bottom line?”

Trump’s Tariffs: This Stuff Isn’t All That Hard, You Know

Free trade is great, except American trade deals are not “free” trade.

One of the better podcasts out there is Patrick Bet David’s Valuetainment show, which I pick up on YouTube a good bit. And, in a segment on Tuesday, Bet David and his guests spent some time talking about the “trade war” with Canada and Mexico that Donald Trump touched off with his demands for cooperation in fighting the scourge of Chinese fentanyl which has poisoned some quarter of a million Americans to death.

What Is Really Destroying Europe? The EU.

The founding idea of the European Union was to build, through shared prosperity, solidarity and a sense of shared destiny among the nations of Europe. That was why three communities were formed: the economy, coal and steel, and nuclear energy. Until around 2000, in terms of growth and innovation, the European economy, year in, year out, was on par with the American one.

100,000 eggs stolen from one US grocer as bird flu drives up prices

Thieves in the US state of Pennsylvania have stolen more than 100,000 eggs – worth $40,000 (£32,000) – from a single grocer.

The heist targeted the back of a lorry at Pete & Gerry’s Organics in Greencastle on 1 February, police say.

It comes as the price of eggs has risen amid a bird flu epidemic, making them an unexpectedly costly menu option. The national chain Waffle House has just hiked their egg charge.

Liberals try to fool Canadians on home equity tax

While the government bends over backwards promising Canadians it’s not going to introduce a tax on the sale of your home, it’s also been spending your money figuring out how to implement a tax to do just that.

Something doesn’t add up. Why spend money on something you have no intention of following through with? And let’s be clear — the Liberals are spending lots of time and money dreaming up new ways to tax your home.

After MRC Pressure, Newsweek Heavily Modifies ‘Trans’ Murderer Puff-Piece

Feels like a woman

Last week, Newsweek received heavy criticism online for publishing a tone-deaf, sympathetic piece about a convicted rapist and murderer, which conspicuously omitted several of the most gruesome details about his crimes. Yesterday, in response to an inquiry by NewsBusters, the magazine made a number of modifications to that piece, including adding several paragraphs which contained those previously-absent details.
