Said the Spider to the Fly: EU Issues Invitation to Canada to Be Its First ‘Associate’

Said the Spider to the Fly: EU Issues Invitation to Canada to Be Its First ‘Associate’

For a while there, I thought petite Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was just flexing his minor muscles for local consumption and the elections in Quebec where his party is currently polling poorly.

But with this latest move, I do have to wonder if this globalist agenda wasn’t his aim all along – glomming onto any excuse to move the Syrupeans’ relatively minuscule economy out from under the protective, and what’s been nurturing umbrella of the United States into the arms of the European Borg Collective.

Trump signs memorandum to identify and remove Canadian products from U.S. federal procurement

Trump signs memorandum to identify and remove Canadian products from U.S. federal procurement

U.S. President ‌Donald Trump ​signed a presidential ​memorandum on ​Wednesday to ⁠identify ⁠Canadian-origin goods ‌in federal ⁠civil government procurement ‌and take steps ​to remove ⁠them, ⁠the ⁠White ⁠House ​said.

The move came a week after Trump banned the import of Canadian alcohol, motorcycles and various other products into the U.S. in an escalation of the trade war.

In the memo, Trump directs the U.S. Trade Representative and the Office of Management and Budget to “take steps” to identify items of Canadian origin that could be “removed or made non-available for purchase” from the federal government’s procurement system.

Carney, beware negotiations with the EU

Carney, beware negotiations with the EU

The standing ovations and applause inside the European Parliament gave the impression that a deal between the EU and Canada was as good as done.

But Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, chose her words carefully.

The EU is willing to work with Mark Carney, Canada’s prime minister, to “find ways” to “open the door” to associate membership, she said in Strasbourg.

Trump suggests EU allowing Canada as associate member could be a ‘hostile act’

Trump suggests EU allowing Canada as associate member could be a ‘hostile act’

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (AP) — President Donald Trump suggested that the European Union allowing Canada to become an associate member could be a “hostile act” and threatened to respond to the proposed move by imposing more tariffs on the bloc.

Trump conditioned his threat Wednesday on the “intention” of European leaders, saying that, “If it’s a good intention, that’s fine. If it’s a bad intention, we’ll put very heavy tariffs on Europe.” He also suggested the U.S. could cut off trade with Europe in certain areas.

Trump called the prospect of Canada joining the EU “laughable” and called America’s neighbor a “terrible trade partner.”

Canada Cannot Support Ukraine and Ignore China’s Support for Russia’s War

Canada Cannot Support Ukraine and Ignore China’s Support for Russia’s War

Canada needs to confront the war behind the war.

We cannot keep sending Ukraine weapons while ignoring the industrial lifeline that keeps Russia fighting.

Canada is making a generational commitment to Ukraine. Ottawa has entered long-term defence-production arrangements with Kyiv, including plans to manufacture millions of drones and deepen military cooperation. It is a significant commitment — and one that reflects Canada’s determination to see Ukraine withstand Russian aggression

Chinese Gangsters Turned This California Paradise into a Marijuana Factory

Chinese Gangsters Turned This California Paradise into a Marijuana Factory

Yreka, California—Siskiyou County is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It sits against the towering backdrop of Mount Shasta and is surrounded by more than a million acres of farmland and forest. But in recent years, Chinese nationals have invaded this serene Northern California paradise to build an illegal cannabis empire.

Chinese nationals, including some associated with the Chinese Communist Party, run massive illegal marijuana operations just beneath Mount Shasta. They and the county’s other illegal growers rake in billions of dollars per year, and terrorize the rural community with shootings, gang violence, and trafficking. This massive criminal enterprise operates in the shadows of America’s most populous state.

‘We will rule in CANADA’: Letter from Bishnoi gang to police disclosed to CBC News

CBC News has obtained a copy of a letter the Lawrence Bishnoi gang sent Canada’s “defence minister, army and police” last year claiming to have 5,000 gang members in Canada and “more guns” than the police.

The letter sent to the Abbotsford Police Department and signed “Lawrence gang from India” was released through an Access to Information Act request for exhibits from an Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) hearing for a Bishnoi associate who was ordered deported in July.

Carney presses 10 EU countries to ratify Canada trade deal

Carney presses 10 EU countries to ratify Canada trade deal

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has urged the 10 EU countries that have yet to ratify the bloc’s trade deal with Canada to do so, as he seeks closer ties with Europe after trade talks with Washington collapsed.

Carney made the plea to the 10 countries — Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Poland and Slovenia — in an interview with the Financial Times, arguing that closer ties with Europe were the best approach in an uncertain world. He said the trade deal was a “positive initiative” which is good for Europe and for Canada, adding that it would make both sides “more sovereign, more resilient, more independent” and more prosperous.
