Trump’s Canada tariff threats will hasten the Chinese Century

Donald Trump’s latest broadside at Canada was theatrical and absurd even by his own standards. In a Truth Social post this weekend, the US President threatened to slap “a 100 % tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.” if Ottawa “makes a deal with China”. He warned that “China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life”. He even called Prime Minister Mark Carney “Governor Carney”, deploying a jab he previously reserved for Justin Trudeau and alluding to his unfulfilled fantasy of Canada becoming America’s 51st state.

TDS ahead.

Trump’s apology is welcome, but he has good reason to be fed up with ‘Europeans’

OUTRAGED cries and calls for US President Donald Trump to apologise for saying that ‘Europeans . . . stayed . . . a little off the front lines’ during the war in Afghanistan are still rebounding off the walls of Westminster days later. His statement was undoubtedly wrong and appeared to be crassly ill-informed. By late yesterday afternoon he had backtracked.

Trump’s generalisation was difficult to parse and therefore easy to condemn, so the truths in what he may have been thinking and what prompted his ire went unreported. Not least his patent disgust with ‘Europe’ for thwarting his peace-keeping efforts in Ukraine and Gaza.

BARBER: Mark Carney’s agendas and deception

From EV mandates to “new world order” rhetoric, the Prime Minister’s trade strategy risks Canadian jobs, energy sovereignty, and Alberta’s future.

Multiple mainstream media (MSM) news sources in Canada and the United States (US) have recently reported that Mark Carney struck a trade deal with China in response to Trump’s tariffs. This short statement says more than meets the eye.

The CUSMA (aka USMCA), which largely eliminates tariffs, became effective in 2020. This agreement removes tariffs from most agricultural goods, energy, and many industrial goods. A few items, such as steel, aluminium, and softwood lumber, are exceptions. This means that the recent US tariffs imposed by President Trump do not apply to Canadian goods qualified under CUSMA. Therefore, these new tariffs cannot be the primary motivating factor for Prime Minister Carney’s deal with China.

William Shakespeare was actually a black Jewish woman claims top feminist historian

Irene “Crazy Eyes” Coslet Top Feminist Historian

William Shakespeare was a ‘black Jewish woman’, a new book has claimed.

The real playwright is identified as the historical figure Emilia Bassano in The Real Shakespeare, by an LSE graduate and feminist historian.

She was a poet with connections to the Tudor court and wrote the Shakespearean canon of plays using the pen-name ‘Shakespeare’, according to the book.

Jamie Sarkonak: Toddler’s bathtub drowning partly the fault of racism, says Ontario judge

When a Jamaican-Canadian woman was tried for manslaughter — specifically, for leaving her 15-month-old son alone in a full bathtub for 10 minutes, causing him to drown — her judge had to ponder a question now standard in our country’s courtrooms: did systemic racism play a role in the crime?

Justice Jane Kelly of Ontario’s superior court answered “yes.” In her Jan. 8 decision, she included that as a mitigating factor that lightened, to some extent, mother Tajah Henry’s prison sentence of three years.

There is no bottom to anti-White hatred in Canada.

The Anti-ICE Signal Chat in Minneapolis Has Reportedly Been Infiltrated…and *That* Name Looks Familiar

Joe wrote about the shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. It was another incident where Democrats screamed bloody murder, the liberal media repeated the same line, and social media was aflame. We don’t know if this was murder or not. We need an investigation, and the state of Minnesota must start cooperating with federal immigration authorities unless they want to create more situations where people get killed. Pretti was armed with a handgun during the kerfuffle that led to him being shot.

Pierre Poilievre is believed to have most Conservatives’ support. Holding his party together could be another matter

OTTAWA — You don’t need to look much further than Pierre Poilievre’s social media to see the sort of dilemma the Conservative leader is facing.

Earlier this month, he praised U.S. President Donald Trump for his extraordinary capture of Venezuela’s authoritarian leader, Nicolás Maduro. Two weeks later, he condemned the same president’s threats to acquire sovereign Greenland and backed Canada’s obligations as a member of the NATO alliance.

It’s not that it’s out of bounds for a political leader to see value in one move and denounce another. It’s that each response rankled different factions within the Conservative tent.

Has Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Made the Dissolution of Canada a Done Deal?

At the annual shindig in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made himself the folk hero of the anti-Trump crowd (that would be basically everyone). In remarks billed as receiving a “standing ovation” but which look pretty tepid on video, Carney proclaimed that Canada was going its own way because the “American hegemon” could no longer be trusted.

Arctic security expert says the world needs to look at Greenland from America’s point of view

Donald Trump says he has a deal in the works for Greenland. And with that revelation, the U.S. president backed off on a threat to hike tariffs on European countries standing in his way.

Proclaiming America’s post-1945 grand bargain is over, Trump insists there’s a price for safety and security in the world — stay tuned.

As the world inches back to a pre-WW2 order, the ‘middle powers’ face a grave new challenge

I had been asked to give a keynote speech at a conference at Columbia University’s Journalism School. It was January 2002. Two planes had been flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center months earlier and you could still feel how wounded the city felt. You could read it in the faces of New Yorkers you spoke to.

In my speech I made a few opening remarks about what the United States had meant to me. “I was born 15 years after the Second World War,” I said, “in a world America made. The peace and security and increasing prosperity of the Western Europe that I was born into was in large part an American achievement.”

American military might had won the war in the West, I continued. It had stopped the further westward expansion of Soviet power.

Conrad Black: Carney’s middle powers plan a complete fantasy

Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke purposefully at Davos this past week about adopting a more nationalistic policy for Canada. Less persuasive was his call for a league of so-called middle powers to combine to influence the superpowers to set up what he called, in the current tedious jargon, ”a rules-based international order.” He is vaguely addressing, without recognizing directly, the fact that the Western Alliance was established in 1949 to contain the Soviet Union which it successfully did until the USSR disintegrated in 1991 without exchanging a shot with any of the NATO countries. Since then there has been a gradual shift from a collective security-based to a national interest-based foreign policy on the part of the NATO countries, as well as the former blocks of so-called neutral states and the regional blocks in Latin America and Africa, none of which easily mobilized their combined influence or enjoyed much relevance to the course of international affairs. The United Nations and many of its agencies are just primal scream therapy for many of the most retrograde and primitive regimes in the world. Israel can be commended for taking the wrecker’s ball to the outlet of one of its agencies in Jerusalem.

House GOP preparing for court showdown to unravel why Ilhan Omar’s net worth skyrocketed up to $30M

Congressional investigators are preparing for a court fight as they seek to use every tool at their disposal to unravel how “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and her hubby Tim Mynett came to be worth up to $30 million in just a few years.

The goal, House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) told The Post, is “to win in court” while finding out what caused the “big spike” in Omar’s net worth.
