Amid ‘Buy Canadian’ fervour, Canada’s top pension funds still heavily invested in U.S.

For all the fear over the U.S. trade war and President Donald Trump’s threats to Canadian sovereignty, this country’s biggest pension funds remain heavily invested in the U.S.

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP), the largest pension fund in the country, announced this week that it has grown to a record $780.7 billion in assets, with 47 per cent invested in the U.S., compared to only 13 per cent in Canada.

That level of U.S. ownership hasn’t budged in the year since Trump retook office, according to third-quarter results released on Friday.

But it gets better … kidding

‘Unbearable:’ Father of Tumbler Ridge shooting victim Emmett Jacobs mourns slain son

Matt Jacobs, the father of Tumbler Ridge shooting victim Emmett Jacobs, and two surviving children living at Jennifer Strang’s home, has released a statement after the horrific events in the northeastern B.C. community Tuesday.

“The pain I have been feeling from this tragedy is unbearable. I can’t even imagine to explain how lost I feel. I lost my little boy, a man’s pride and joy. Jennifer and I had our differences but she did not deserve this, none of them did. I couldn’t even begin to comprehend the news I had heard on Feb. 10,” the statement reads.

Ukraine wants 20-year US security guarantee to sign peace deal

Ukraine wants security guarantees for a minimum of 20 years from the US before it can sign a peace deal with dignity, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said ahead of talks with Russia and the US scheduled for next week.

Speaking in Munich on Saturday, he also called for a clear date for Ukraine to be allowed to join the EU. Some EU officials have put the date as early as 2027.

Speaking to the annual Munich security summit, Ukraine’s president said he hoped “the trilateral meetings next week will be serious, substantive, helpful for all of us but, honestly, sometimes it feels like the sides are talking about completely different things”.

Dennis Molinaro: Diversifying trade with China is a losing play

I wrote the following in my book Under Assault: Interference and Espionage in China’s Secret War Against Canada:

“An economic slump in the U.S. was going to affect Canada’s financial health, and so trade diversification again became a driving consideration. But instead of diversifying trade with like-minded democracies, Canada went begging at the doorstep of the Communist state that had been engaged in foreign interference and espionage against Canada and the U.S. for the past 30 years.”

Danish state could face legal action over deal that gives US powers on its soil

Denmark could face legal action over an agreement that gives the US sweeping powers on Danish soil, over claims it is “unconstitutional” and could pose problems in talks with Washington over Greenland.

The agreement, which was signed under the Biden administration in 2023 and was passed by the Danish parliament last year, gives the US “unhindered access” to its airbases and powers over its civilians.

Since then, Donald Trump has made threats to invade Greenland, part of the kingdom of Denmark, resulting in a diplomatic crisis between the longtime allies and a deployment of soldiers to Greenland by a number of European countries.

Canada has officially joined the EU’s loans-for-weapons program

Defence Minister David McGuinty says Canada has now officially joined the European Union’s Security Action for Europe (SAFE) program, which offers loans to member states to invest in defence capabilities.

“The agreement strengthens our collective security, supports the development of key defence capabilities, and gives Canadian industry access to European defence markets while contributing to European and Ukrainian security,” McGuinty said in a statement sent to CBC News.

Canada joined in late 2025 with an upfront participation contribution of about €7.5 million (in 2026) plus an administrative fee of €2.5 million, totaling around €10 million for preferential access.

Europeans push back at US over claim they face ‘civilizational erasure’

MUNICH (AP) — A top European Union official on Sunday rejected the notion that Europe faces “civilizational erasure,” pushing back at criticism of the continent by the Trump administration.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas addressed the Munich Security Conference a day after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a somewhat reassuring message to European allies. He struck a less aggressive tone than Vice President JD Vance did in lecturing them at the same gathering last year but maintained a firm tone on Washington’s intent to reshape the trans-Atlantic alliance and push its policy priorities.

GOLDSTEIN: The massive carbon footprint of Trudeau’s post-political life

If you want to understand why Justin Trudeau’s climate change policies were more about virtue signalling than actual virtue, look at his life post politics.

Between purchasing a $4.26-million mansion in Montreal’s pricey Outremont borough – an affluent residential area known for its stately Victorian homes – and gallivanting around the world with Katy Perry, Trudeau has become a living postcard of a life of excess consumption that climate change fanatics routinely condemn.

Iran has chosen its protest scapegoats. Now they face execution

The phone calls, when they came, lasted three minutes.

In those minutes, a young woman told her mother she was alive. A son told his parents he was exhausted, and said that if the security forces wanted to execute him, they should, for at least then he’d be free.

It has been nearly a month since Venus Hossein-Nejad, 28, and Peyvand Naeimi, 30, were marched out of their workplaces by Iranian agents and held prisoner as part of the regime’s crackdown against the widespread protests threatening the Islamic Republic.

An imam has been found guilty of raping women and girls as young as 12 after using his position as a faith leader at his east London mosque to convince them he had magical powers.

Abdul Halim Khan, 54, has been found guilty of twenty one counts of rape and sexual assault as well as child sexual offences against seven women and girls at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

The offences took place between 2004 and 2015, and three of his victims were young teenage girls at the time.
