‘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.

Trump is Combining Geoeconomic and Kinetic Warfare Against Iran

Trump is Combining Geoeconomic and Kinetic Warfare Against Iran

War, Clausewitz , is the continuation of politics by violent means. But violence is only one tool in a nation’s war arsenal. Other tools include economics, cyber warfare, diplomacy, information warfare (what used to be called propaganda, psychological warfare, and disinformation), espionage, counterintelligence, and subversion. Americans are an impatient people, but impatience in war can lead to the loss of political and popular support — which is essential for democracies to achieve victory.

The Floydification of Jason Arday’s death

The Floydification of Jason Arday’s death

The Russian word pravda is often translated as ‘truth’, but it can also mean ‘justice’. The proto-Slavic prav had that latter meaning, pravo refers to a legal right, and the first law code in Kievan Rus’ was called the Russkaya Pravda. Over time the word has come to mean ‘truth’, but with strong connotations of ‘moral or spiritual truth’, or a just way to order human relations. Sometimes it is translated into English as ‘social justice’, whereas istina is the term for objective truth. In other Slavic languages, such as Serbo-Croatian, pravda has retained its meaning of ‘justice’ or ‘fairness’.

Canada didn’t chicken out. We did the right thing

Canada didn’t chicken out. We did the right thing

In the end, Canada and the United States didn’t get a trade deal. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter.

Yes, a deal would have prevented further economic woes imposed on Canada in the short run. But what matters is that the Carney government didn’t give in to the Trump administration’s economic coercion.


Our right to suffer the Laurentian Elite’s economic coercion has been preserved!

Iran: What Next?

Iran: What Next?

The main focus in confronting Iran’s regime and its sponsorship of terrorism has shifted toward economic sanctions and a naval blockade of Iranian ports. This pressure, driving oil exports to multi-year lows and squeezing the regime’s primary source of hard currency, constrains the resources available for ballistic missiles, proxies, and internal repression. Yet it is a dangerous delusion to believe that sanctions and blockade by themselves will change the regime’s fundamentalist and Islamist ideology or force a fundamental shift in its behavior.

The Iranian regime’s only objective is to stay in power beyond the Trump Administration.

A list of some of the items the U.S. is slapping with a 50 per cent tariff

OTTAWA – The United States is imposing a 50 per cent tariff on a range of Canadian exports starting Saturday, after the two countries could not reach a new deal before a deadline imposed by President Donald Trump.

Trump threatened the new tariffs in July to pressure Canada to move on a number of issues that were flagged as irritants to the U.S., including provincial bans on alcohol imports, tariffs on some American made auto exports and quotas on tariff-free U.S. dairy exports.

Net Zero Is Dead and Gone

Net Zero Is Dead and Gone

It was only a few years ago when the climate change alarms and green energy fad were all the rage at the White House and corporate board rooms. Former President Joe Biden’s policies were all tilted to ending fossil fuels, and many of America’s biggest corporations embraced the concept of net-zero fossil fuels. This was the movement during the Biden years to eliminate virtually ALL oil, natural gas and coal production, and replace these energy sources with windmills, solar panels and electric vehicles.

MANDEL: Thankfully, no jail time for Whitby dad who fired at armed intruders who shot his son

It’s hard not to imagine any one of us being enraged dad Jason Munroe.

Fortunately, the Whitby father of three will not be going to jail for firing at the home invaders who shot his adult son – the Crown has lost its bid to overturn Munroe’s conditional sentence of two years of house arrest.

“Given the exceptional circumstances of the offence and the significant mitigating factors, we see no error in principle in this case,” wrote Court of Appeal Justice Steve Coroza on behalf of the three-judge panel. “Nor do we find that the sentence was manifestly unfit.”

Who Needs Islam?

Who Needs Islam?

Short answer: Nobody.

Long answer: Not only does nobody need it, but the world would be better without it. Nowhere does Islam touch that doesn’t get worse. Nowhere does Islam conquer that doesn’t leave its inhabitants more oppressed. Nowhere does Islam “flourish” that doesn’t witness a new dark age in terms of freedom, education, and human progress. And nowhere does Islam reign that doesn’t unleash the darkest impulses of man’s insatiable desire for power.

Mounties reviewing First Nations’ call for treason probe into Alberta premier, UCP

Canada’s top Mountie has told First Nations leaders in Alberta the RCMP will review the chiefs’ call for a criminal treason investigation into the province’s premier and governing party, a response that has some chiefs optimistic.

Stop humouring these malcontents.
