As satisfying as it is to be “Elbows Up” against U.S. President Donald Trump in the current Canada-U.S. trade war, it might be a tad counterproductive.
As I have written before, it might be more effective to break our dependence on trade with America by building pipelines west and east to get our oil and natural gas to European and Asian markets. It would also be a tremendous boost if provinces reduced internal barriers to trade.
Yeah, elections sure do have consequences. Given the moribund state of the Republican Party in New York City, two socialists, Darializa Avila-Chevalier and Claire Valdez, are virtually certain to enter the House of Representatives next January, and they’re already excitedly making plans for the damage they’re going to do to the nation’s largest city, and the nation as a whole, once they get there.
A woman has been arrested after police say her two dogs attacked a person and their dog near a midtown Toronto park on Thursday.
Police say they were notified Saturday after receiving reports of the attack, which took place at a park near Avenue Road and Roxborough Street.
The victim was walking their dog near an off-leash fenced area of the park when the suspect’s two dogs escaped the enclosure, police said.
The regional leader of the pro-border-control AfD party said his faction was “the clear winner of the evening” after the legacy centrist-globalist Christian Conservatives and Social Democrats recorded their worst results ever in Lower Saxony.
Provisional results show support for the sovereigntist, Eurosceptic, border-control Alternative for Germany (AfD) tripled in Sunday’s Lower Saxony elections to select hundreds of directly-elected mayors and other representatives.
A $5.5-million Winnipeg-area daycare built two years ago with provincial funds sits vacant, derelict and surrounded by weeds after being plundered by scavengers and damaged by flooding.
The non-profit group hoping to operate the daycare and an advocate for not-for-profit daycares are now pleading with the province to open the East St. Paul facility, which has yet to care for a single child.
The 74-space daycare was built in 2024 on behalf of the Peguis First Nation Real Estate Trust. It was one of 22 daycares built in Manitoba as part of a project started by the former Progressive Conservative government along with JohnQ Public, a company owned by 11 Manitoba municipalities.
Costco has reportedly started rationing its house brand of motor oil this week, limiting purchases to two boxes per week, as drivers across the country continue facing higher gas and diesel prices.
The membership-only warehouse club, which has long prided itself in selling products at discounted prices in bulk, has introduced the purchase limit after significantly raising the price of Kirkland Signature full synthetic motor oil, The Auto Wire first reported.
⚡️ Trump just told Zelensky: stop striking Russian oil refineries – you’re creating a global diesel shortage.
Zelensky escalates for more billions. The world pays with higher food, fuel and heating bills.

I wonder if Zelensky will heed Trump’s advice or face the consequences assuming any exist.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is “taking control” of its future as his inaugural Investment Summit kicks off in Toronto this week amid renewed trade tensions with the U.S.
Addressing a room of business and government leaders Sunday night during the summit’s welcome reception, the prime minister also hinted at deals that could be announced in the coming days.
“Tomorrow, something remarkable will happen,” Carney said. “The world is looking at Canada differently. And I suggest we should look at ourselves differently too,” he added.
On social media platforms, the man called himself “Adrian” or “Dios,” meaning “God” in Spanish. In 2024, accounts linked to the man posted job ads on Telegram. “Work as a photographer,” one offered in Russian in a chat about opportunities in Poland. “To those interested in applying, send resume, phone number and passport,” another advertised in a group for Cuban expatriates in Russia. “Looking for people with military experience in monitoring, intelligence, logistics and tactical maneuvers,” one said in Spanish in a group for Latinos, promising $1,500 (about €1,300) plus a bonus for each operation completed.
It will be a “comprehensive partnership” covering trade, security and diplomacy.
Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission’s president, is expected to announce a new deal with Canada in her state of the union address next week.
Before long, she will be shaking hands with Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, and the Ode to Joy may be ringing out across Ottawa.
But this may not be the miracle agreement it’s cracked up to be.
Just as Ukraine was learning how to parry Russia’s drone attacks, Moscow has moved the goal posts with a new generation of innovative jet-powered weapons.
New Geran drones and Banderol cruise missiles are lethal reminders that Russia still has the resources and supply chains to field fresh threats, this time packed with advanced electronics that allow them to find targets accurately and evade interception. Crucially, the leap forward was enabled in large part by components sourced from China, in violation of international sanctions, say Ukraine and others, based in part on wreckage from the few shot down so far.
China has said it regulates exports of technologies that could be used in war.

I don’t recall any “Acid Attacks” before the onset of the Diversity blight.
A Montreal charity that helped bring Syrian refugees to Canada was fined $60,900 for providing “undue benefits” to a company owned by its president as part of its sponsorship program, according to documents recently made public.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) notified the Centre Canadien Islamique Al-Jamieh/Canadian Islamic Centre Al-Jamieh of the penalty in a Sept. 12, 2024 letter, which has now been made available through the IJF’s Open by Default database.
The notice says the mosque, a registered charity, paid $58,000 to a consulting company in March 2017. That company was wholly owned by the charity’s then-president, Ahmad Chaar.
US President Donald Trump has downplayed risks posed by artificial intelligence following days of dire warnings by experts.
“You have a lot of very negative forces that are bringing it up that shouldn’t be bringing it up and they’re bringing up things that won’t happen,” Trump said during a visit to Ireland.
One of the warnings came from a former Anthropic researcher who said “there is a strong chance that we could all die in the immediate future” if the current pace of development continued.
China ain’t gonna slow things down.
Protests are planned for the prime minister’s high-stakes summit aimed at attracting new investment to Canada, with organizers saying Mark Carney is keeping company with business leaders they say are exacerbating global crises.
Hundreds of executives and global asset managers are set to arrive in Toronto for Canada’s first-ever investment summit to get a look at major projects in various stages of development.
