A $4 billion hit: What Carney’s tariff retaliation could cost Canadian consumers

On Sept. 8, roughly $30 billion in imports from the United States will face Canadian tariffs of between 15 and 50 percent. This is our response to the 50 percent U.S. tariffs now applied to approximately five percent of our exports.

Overall, I estimate Canada’s average tariff response works out to about 30 percent, on average, across affected goods. That’s roughly 60 cents of response for every dollar of U.S. tariff. While not full dollar-for-dollar retaliation, as the government frames it, it is still a large response. And it comes on top of certain retaliatory tariffs already in place from last year.

Democratic contender Abdul “Evil” El-Sayed hits back at JD Vance over ‘evil’ taunt

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic US Senate candidate in Michigan, has hit back at Republican vice-president JD Vance’s onslaught against him, saying it is “evil” to deprive people of healthcare and affordable groceries.

Vance, in a Monday speech that railed against undocumented immigrants, cast El-Sayed as representative of “terrible evil” and as someone who fights for “one group at the expense of others”.

El-Sayed, who would become the first Muslim US senator if he wins in November, accused Vance of a “dog whistle” at the Islamophobic attacks he has faced throughout his campaign.

Vance is right El-Sayed is evil and should be deported.

A record 38% of Republicans say Canada is unfriendly or an enemy of the U.S.

President Donald Trump recently imposed a 50% tariff on many Canadian goods, a move most Americans are strongly or somewhat opposed to, the latest Economist/YouGov Poll finds. 58% of Americans are opposed to raising tariffs on goods imported from Canada, while only 26% support doing so.

Trump hailed after Canada poaches American academic ‘talent’ including professor of TRANSGENDER philosophy

President Donald Trump has been praised after it was revealed woke American professors are being poached by Canadian universities, including an academic who teaches transgender philosophy.

California State University philosophy professor, Talia Mae Bettcher, who is transgender, is among the many American-based educators who have packed their bags and headed north to Canada to become a part of the $541 million research funding project.

‘I knew I had to leave,’ Bettcher, who is a native Canadian but taught in Los Angeles, told The University of Waterloo, her new home.

What Are the Stakes for Canada After Trump’s US-Venezuela 65 Billion Barrel Oil Deal?

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Aug. 28 that the United States had reached what he called “the biggest oil deal in world history,” giving the United States majority control over the development of more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela’s proven heavy crude reserves.

While oil-rich Venezuela remains significantly behind Canada in oil production after years of infrastructure neglect and political isolation, experts say the country’s potential return to the global oil market could increase pressure on Canada from its neighbour to the south and largest energy export customer.

Ouch.

Syrian Man Not Required To Find a Job To Avoid “Provoking” Him

A homeless immigrant man will continue to receive benefits and not be asked to find a job by the Ennepe-Ruhr district job center in Germany, as the office says the man is dangerous and should not be “provoked.”

The man in question is Amer G., a Syrian asylum seeker who reportedly arrived in Germany in 2015 and has become known in Witten for publicly reciting verses from the Quran using a loudspeaker.

Head of Defence Investment Agency to step down after one year in job, sources say

Former banker Doug Guzman is expected to depart as head of the federal government’s newly created Defence Investment Agency after only a year on the job, two sources say.

The sources told The Globe and Mail that Mr. Guzman is frustrated by the slow pace of government bureaucracy in getting defence procurement projects moving and approved.

Mr. Guzman was an important player in the July decision to purchase 12 conventionally powered submarines from German company TKMS for the Royal Canadian Navy, one source said, and has demanded quicker action on procurement files during his tenure.

The LPC strategy is to wait out Trump and then resume Canada’s deadbeat on defence status.

Massachusetts Court Says Town Can’t Build Statues Of Christian Heroes Because They’re Christian

Massachusetts’ highest court just handed the ACLU a powerful new tool for scrubbing religious references from public life, and it did so by inventing an injury nobody has suffered.

The Supreme Judicial Court blocked Quincy, Massachusetts, from installing two bronze statues of St. Michael the Archangel and St. Florian outside its new public safety building, not because the city coerced anyone into worship, funded a church, or discriminated against a resident, but because the statues are new, large, and “closely affiliated with a particular religion.” That’s the entire violation: bronze that might make someone think of Catholicism. If that reasoning survives, it won’t stop at two statues in Quincy.

Carney’s Critical-Minerals Pitch Draws Protest Coalition With CODEPINK Ties

OTTAWA — The Ring of Fire sits about 500 kilometers northeast of Thunder Bay in the muskeg of Ontario’s James Bay Lowlands, on Treaty 9 territory. Prospectors found it in 2007 and named it after a Johnny Cash song.

Beneath the peat moss lies the Canadian Shield, deeply seamed with nickel and cobalt for batteries used in electric vehicles and smart phones, copper for the grids that power data centers, titanium, platinum and palladium for aerospace, and the largest deposit of chromite — critical to stainless steel — in North America.

Satanic Ritual Killer’s Lawyers Claim Death Penalty is Against Her Religion

In 1995, Colleen Slemmer was lured out into the woods, slashed all over her body and beaten to death. The killer called herself ‘Lil Devil’, kept a piece of the murdered woman’s skull as a trophy and a pentagram was carved into the dead woman’s chest. As long as the killer lives, that piece of skull remains evidence and cannot be returned to the victim’s mother and buried.

Every year that pro-crime activists fight for her satanic killer, Colleen cannot be laid to rest.

Net Zero is leaving Britain defenceless

Russian threats to attack British factories producing drones and missile components for Ukraine are a reminder that the industrial base is once again becoming part of the battlefield.

In a way, this has always been the case. In an attritional conflict, the ability to produce, replace and sustain military capability matters as much as the weapons a country starts with. Military power has always depended on productive force. It was Paul Kennedy who documented the relationship between economic power and military power across five centuries of great-power competition in his magnum opus, The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers. In December 2024, John Bew, former chief foreign-policy adviser to No10, gave this logic a new name – ‘machinepolitik’. He argued we are returning to an era of ‘raw power’ in which the ability to harness productive force, from armaments to energy to technology, will increasingly determine which countries shape events.
