Jivani calls Carney’s dollar-for-dollar tariff response an ‘overreaction’ that will ‘accelerate conflict’

OTTAWA — Outspoken Ontario Conservative MP Jamil Jivani says that Prime Minister Mark Carney is erring in trying to “accelerate conflict” with the U.S., after cross-border trade talks broke down late Friday night.

Jivani told National Post that Carney struck the wrong tone in a fiery missive, sent just before the midnight deadline, vowing to match imminent 50 per cent tariffs on some Canadian goods “dollar for dollar.”

Dear U.K.: If You Have To Ask Foreigners Not To Rape The Local Women, Don’t Import Them

Dear U.K.: If You Have To Ask Foreigners Not To Rape The Local Women, Don’t Import Them

The only legitimate purpose of government is to secure and protect the natural rights of its own people, as our founders constantly pointed out. And while the United Kingdom predates the American Revolution, the fundamental obligation of government to protect its citizens is not exclusive to us.

One of the most basic protections people, but particularly women, should expect of their government is that their government will not import foreigners who want to harm them, or to be more specific, rape them.

Amnesty International Calls for State Censorship of Media Reporting on Black People

Amnesty International Calls for State Censorship of Media Reporting on Black People

Amnesty International was spawned over a hoax in which people were supposedly locked up over their speech. The actual event was based on a newspaper article, it had never actually happened, but that didn’t stop Amnesty International from raising and spending millions of dollars, and preaching to everyone about the importance of ‘human rights’ for succeeding generations.

China’s Shadow War for America’s Pacific Front Line

China’s Shadow War for America’s Pacific Front Line

OTTAWA — In this episode, I sit down with Indo-Pacific researcher Cleo Paskal and frequent Bureau guest Chris Meyer to investigate a part of the world that rarely commands sustained Western attention — but could determine the outcome of the next global conflict.

Paskal has testified repeatedly before the United States Congress and the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. A former journalist, she has spent years travelling through the Pacific’s smallest and most strategically important states. The path that drew her into this subject resembles my own in Vancouver.

Will Ocasio-Cortez join the ice cube chucking ‘mom rage’ mob?

Will Ocasio-Cortez join the ice cube chucking ‘mom rage’ mob?

Clearly, many of the feminist women who are toxifying the public square need mental help. Screaming, flailing, spitting, and chucking stuff doesn’t seem to be expunging the feminists’ evil spirits, only further arousing them. Such atrocious antics may release temporary stress, but in the long term they reinforce anger and become habit-forming. And given these women’s obsession with rage and freezing things, I’d put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez atop the list of those needing help.

Islamism and the silence of the ‘progressives’

Islamism and the silence of the ‘progressives’

The German state cannot fairly be accused of inattention when it came to Abdul Ballout. It had been observing him for the better part of a decade. It had convicted him three times and had, by the start of July, arrived at an assessment of his character that turned out to be entirely accurate. The counsellors of the deradicalisation programme into which a Berlin court had released him in May had logged their misgivings, concluded that his cooperation was a performance, and set about drafting a recommendation that he be removed from their books. They were still drafting that recommendation on Saturday 25 July, when the 21-year-old drove a white van into the closing party of Christopher Street Day, a part of Berlin’s Pride season, a few hundred yards from the Brandenburg Gate. He killed one person and injured 29 others, and then proceeded to set about the survivors with a machete.

Sexual predator, 35, who was deported after raping woman, 18, is caught living in Essex after sneaking back into the UK

Sexual predator, 35, who was deported after raping woman, 18, is caught living in Essex after sneaking back into the UK

A sexual predator who was deported after raping an 18-year-old has been caught living in Essex after sneaking back onto British soil.

Blerim Hajdarmataj, who was working as a cleaner, launched a twisted attack on the girl after a chance meeting at a Chelmsford bar in September 2014.

The 35-year-old invited the young woman back to his home, and although she initially refused, she woke the following day in his bed.

Canada is more united against Trump than ever — but this trade war is still going to hurt

Canada is more united against Trump than ever — but this trade war is still going to hurt

The only good news on a terrible day is that Canadians are united.

The bad news is bad, though. Canada is entering an asymmetric trade war with the largest and most powerful country in the world. If Donald Trump wants to drive us into a recession, he can do so, and there are other horrible things he could do if he wants.

United? Nope. Just the Star ratcheting up the fear.

Canada Balks at Fair Deal, Now the 50 Percent Tariffs Begin

Canada Balks at Fair Deal, Now the 50 Percent Tariffs Begin

Midnight came and Canada got the bill it earned.

After weeks of talks and a last-minute scramble that looked promising even to President Trump, the 50 percent tariffs on roughly $20 billion of Canadian goods took effect early Saturday. Wine. Hockey sticks. Cement. Plywood. Liquor. The list is long. Energy and critical minerals are exempted. Everything else that Canada has been shipping south while playing games with American producers is now more expensive by half.

For the First Time in 50 Years, The New York Times Lost a Defamation Suit. Here’s Why.

For the First Time in 50 Years, The New York Times Lost a Defamation Suit. Here’s Why.

It’s hard for publications to lose these cases. The bar for proving malice is sky-high. And if you’re a public figure, forget about it. Well, for the first time in over 50 years, The New York Times will have to fork over potentially millions of dollars over a 2023 piece about a shooting involving basketball players from the University of Alabama that left a 23-year-old woman dead. Of course, the Times, bloated by ego, stood by its reporting. They were wrong, issuing an editor’s note. The piece details the whole saga, including the reporter’s error and the behind-the-scenes moves to verify the information. The thing is, the victim, Kai Spears, wasn’t near the shooting and wasn’t involved. One thing that seems lost in the piece is a) the ever-degrading value of anonymous sources and b) that they ran with this based on one source.

‘You’re at war when you get attacked,’ Carney says after trade talks collapse

‘You’re at war when you get attacked,’ Carney says after trade talks collapse

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney said he walked away from a “bad deal” with the United States and that Canada is now “at war” after being “attacked” by steep tariffs on $29 billion worth of Canadian goods going south of the border.

“We were attacked. You’re at war when you get attacked. We got attacked,” Carney told reporters gather in the West Block foyer on Parliament Hill.

The problem is we’ll be the collateral damage for General Carney’s folly.
