Mark Carney gets mixed reviews for response to ‘Donald Trump’s war on Canada’

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s view that Canada’s “weakness” stems from its longtime close trade ties with the U.S. was mocked by the Conservatives Monday, and met skepticism by an Eastern premier who warned it will likely further anger the U.S.

In a video message posted Sunday on YouTube, Carney said the U.S. “has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression. Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become our weaknesses, weaknesses that we must correct.”

Carney’s choice of words was no error.

UK Revokes Immigration/Islam Critic’s Entry Permit

In a move that has reignited the debate over free speech and government overreach, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has officially intervened to block U.S.-based MAGA influencer Valentina Gomez from entering the United Kingdom.

Gomez, a 26-year-old Christian conservative originally from Colombia, was scheduled to address the “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London on May 16th—an event organized by populist figure Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) and expected to draw significant crowds following the 100,000-strong turnout in September.

Punishing young Canadians for leaving doesn’t solve the problem

Punishing young Canadians for leaving doesn’t solve the problem

Earlier this month, during a panel discussion on the Canadian economy at the Liberal Party convention in Montreal, former Google CFO Patrick Pichette suggested that the government should restrict the ability of young Canadians to work in the United States, because Canadian taxes had funded their education. A clip of these remarks went viral, and for good reason: as Shopify founder Tobi Lütke said in response, “making Canada a cage” is not the right strategy to build a strong economy.

While clock ticks down on ceasefire, US and Iran prepare to resume war

While clock ticks down on ceasefire, US and Iran prepare to resume war

When a ceasefire in the Gulf was first being discussed, an Iranian military spokesman accused President Trump of “negotiating with himself”.

The regime loves pouring scorn on America, calling its politics stupid and unsophisticated. But the comment rang true to more than just the Iranians.

President Trump’s rhetoric, especially on his personal platform Truth Social, often seems to take issue with his own policies.

BARBER: Canada’s European Union flirtation is a betrayal of Alberta — and a blueprint for economic decline

BARBER: Canada’s European Union flirtation is a betrayal of Alberta — and a blueprint for economic decline

The French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, the former German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel, Finland’s President Alexander Stubb, and other European figures have speculated about the possibility of Canada joining the European Union (EU). Prime Minister Mark Carney has dismissed the notion of Canada joining the EU but has advocated for closer, stronger ties with the bloc. If he were inclined toward EU membership, it would be imprudent for him to announce it at this time. It would be far better to continue aligning Canadian laws and regulations with those of the EU before making any formal announcement. Joining the EU is a slow, multi-year process that often takes a decade or more.

U.S. and Canada Are Stronger Together Against Global Narco Networks

U.S. and Canada Are Stronger Together Against Global Narco Networks

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — Today I deliver a keynote speech at the annual training of the Washington State Narcotics Investigators Association. The talk is densely packed with cases and analysis — Vancouver casino ledgers, United Front banking cells, the Six Nations–Sinaloa grow-op corridor, the Canadian encryption shops that have become the nerve endings of a hemispheric cartel network. The presentation is complicated.

In a nutshell: hostile regimes in China and Iran are attacking North America in partnership with Latin American cartels that operate with state-like capacities in technology and intelligence, and they are using Canadian cities as a “center of gravity” for transnational operations.

This can’t be happening at Rideau Hall

With the very notable exception of promising to learn French, then failing to do so, Mary Simon has not been a terrible Governor General. She spent money rather freely, of course, but they all do, and Parliament makes the budget, after all. You didn’t hear much from or about her, which is Job One for a governor general. That is, except in the francophone media, where she is a constant thorn in nationalists’ side because of her linguistic shortcomings.

Trump: It’s highly unlikely I’ll extend ceasefire

Trump: It’s highly unlikely I’ll extend ceasefire

Donald Trump said he was “highly unlikely” to extend the ceasefire in Iran and threatened to resume bombing if a deal was not reached by Wednesday night.

On Tuesday, the US president said he would not be “rushed into making a bad deal” as JD Vance prepared to travel to Islamabad to lead a second round of peace talks.

But uncertainty hung over the prospect of direct negotiations after Iran refused to say whether it would attend the talks as the clock on the two-week ceasefire deadline ticked on.
