In a brief report long on speculative doom and short on facts and data, ABC News, once again, instinctively took the side oppositional to the Trump administration. This time, the Disney subsidiary parroted the spin of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney while reporting on the collapse of a potential deal between the United States and Canada.
Iranian state-affiliated TV Channel 3 has released a video threatening US President Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, detailing specific surveillance against him and offering a $10 million reward for his death, Iran International reported on Monday.
Sorry no English version yet.
Iran has officially put a $10 MILLION bounty on Barron Trump!
How do you think President Trump will react to THIS?! pic.twitter.com/5Vky8f7vIq

Privacy experts are raising concerns after a Winnipeg bar flagged a woman as a nationwide public safety concern through its ID scanning system, which led to her being denied entry to a Calgary Stampede venue in July.
Alexandra, a Montreal-based lawyer, went to the Riverside bar in St. Vital on June 6, where a person working security scanned her driver’s licence at the door using a Patronscan ID scanner.
She said she was not told why they were scanning it and had no idea an incident later that evening would lead to a flag that potentially banned her from bars across Canada.
This is creepy.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated on Sunday that Ukraine was not involved in the 2022 attack on the Nord Stream underwater gas pipelines.
“Ukraine has never officially taken part in any operation related to the blowing up of Nord Stream,” Zelenskyy told reporters on Sunday in response to a question about the ongoing investigation.
He said that Germany was “well aware that Ukraine did not stand behind the execution or the very conception of this operation.”
“Never Officially” what an odd choice of words, especially after two Ukraine nationals have been arested.
YIKES 👀 Doug Ford just called President Trump a Dictator, this comes after Trump said if Ford continues the consequences for Canada will be far worse

Doug Ford and Donald Trump exchange insults as trade war heats up.
TORONTO—Over the past 17 months, as President Trump has freighted Canada’s economy with several rounds of punishing tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney has often repeated the guiding maxim for his negotiations with the U.S.: No deal is better than a bad one.
Now he’s putting that rule to the test.
After nearly a month of trade negotiations aimed at staving off more U.S. tariffs on Canada, Carney walked away from a deal at the last minute on Friday night, allowing levies of 50% on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods to come into force.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) announced the completion of her egg retrieval on Sunday, capping off a two-week fertility preservation process she has documented extensively on social media, and said she plans to continue sharing updates with followers.
Canadian businesses and industry leaders are bracing for the full effects of fresh 50 per cent U.S. tariffs, crossing their fingers that domestic support will come quickly.
Prime Minister Mark Carney called his negotiating team back to Ottawa on Friday night after trade talks fell apart in the 11th hour because of what he said were “unreasonable” requests from the U.S.
Negotiators are no longer at the bargaining table, so U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened 50 per cent tariffs are in force, covering a range of Canadian products, from wood furniture and cement to plywood and wine.
Business and Industry leaders? They didn’t object to the grievous harm caused Canadians by swamping us with TFW’s, Foreign Students, Family Reunification, and whatever other Mass Immigration scam they and the Liberals could dream up. Mass immigration is corporate welfare. I will not shed a tear for them. They didn’t for us.
I do care very deeply for those who will continue to suffer at the hands of the Carney government and the Corporate Welfare class.
I will never trust a word from the “Business Community” again.

Two years ago, Zainab Bibi Ahmed thought she had turned her back on the Democrats for good. Now, she is volunteering for the party’s US Senate nominee in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed.
Ahmed was one of 100,000 people to vote uncommitted in the February 2024 Democratic Michigan primary, in a bid to send a message to then US president Joe Biden about his support for Israel, as people watched what Amnesty International later called a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza on their screens.
That November, Ahmed – a resident of Troy, Michigan, and an academic staffer at Wayne State University – opted to vote for the Green party’s Jill Stein amid calls to punish Democrats over the administration’s support for Israel.
TORONTO — Premier Doug Ford is threatening to cut off critical minerals and electricity exports to the United States and has told President Donald Trump he can “kiss my ass” after the latest escalation in the trade war.
In a radio interview Monday morning, Ford responded to Trump’s new threat of 50% tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts and steel starting next year by saying: “Well, he can kiss my ass, as far as I’m concerned.”
Ontario Premier Doug Ford reacted to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to increase tariffs on cars and trucks next year, saying he can “kiss my ass.”

Scott Bessent has said the US is “entering the endgame” in its war with Iran.
The US treasury secretary said the Trump administration would unleash “the greatest financial offensive” against Tehran before unveiling a new economic pressure campaign.
The treasury secretary is expected to announce the new measures at a press conference at 2pm EDT (7pm BST) on Monday.
When he was asked on Saturday by reporters if Canada was now in a trade war with the United States, Prime Minister Mark Carney said that we were. Because we had been attacked.
I agree with him. But we’re also in an info war. This isn’t something we have traditionally been good at. But it’s something we’re going to have to learn very quickly if we want to avoid being squashed like a bug.
Consider Saturday. As I listened to Carney talk about how amazing our new electricity grid is going to be, I found myself wondering why. It’s not that new hydroelectric production and transmission lines aren’t important. They definitely are. But it wasn’t the story of the day.
Did Quebec made a threat about the Dairy cartel.
It was meant to be an outing for Black children in Berlin and their families, offering them an exclusive afternoon at an outdoor pool set up by a local theatre.
But the plans, slated for earlier this month, had to be scrapped after they were seized on by rightwing and conservative voices to whip up outrage, leaving organisers fending off racist emails and threats.
Berlin’s Volksbühne theatre said it had extended the invitation in hopes of dismantling some of the barriers that would normally keep these children away from the pool. While other groups had similarly been invited to use pool exclusively without incident, the idea of Black children enjoying a private afternoon at a public pool proved to be controversial among some.
China’s nationalist tabloid Global Times praised Canada’s retaliation against US tariffs, casting Ottawa’s move as validating Beijing’s opposition to Washington’s protectionist trade policies.
Calling Canada’s action “Chinese-style counterattack,” the newspaper said in an editorial Monday that the government’s decision shows that “more countries are realizing that concessions toward the US do not necessarily bring respect and stability.”
Carney does not want a deal, not with the US, unless China says so.
Oh look who’s back!
Canadians angry because U.S. trade approached cultural sovereignty issues. Canada then vows to influence American opinion.
Think about it. Let me know when you see it. https://t.co/ttQ19FA6Ao

U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to increase tariffs on all cars and trucks to 50 per cent next year following a collapse in trade talks with Canada.
