WTF?

This is the video that went viral. It was sent me but I declined to post it noting it was all hearsay.

Canadian refugee applicant in ICE custody says he crossed border accidentally

OTTAWA — A Canadian refugee applicant from Bangladesh who is being held in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Buffalo says he crossed the border into the U.S. by mistake — and now Canada won’t take him back.

Mahin Shahriar told The Canadian Press he entered the U.S. on May 12 after what he believes was a human trafficking attempt.

Shahriar said he was struggling with depression and “a friend” offered him a place to stay for a few days near Montreal.

Team Canada shoots on its own net in trade talks with China

There goes Team Canada.

The rock-solid group of premiers fighting as one in a trade war are being chipped apart, their united front undone not just by the threats of U.S. President Donald Trump but by the promises of the Chinese ambassador Wang Di.

Now Canada, caught in a trade war with two capricious superpower partners, is negotiating against itself. This country might as well put up a sign inviting bigger players to come to fleece us.

Immigrants told to come to Canada for free health care

The feds are using the fact health care in Canada is free to try and lure immigrants to come to the country.

The Department of Immigration has launched an international marketing campaign promoting Canada’s public health care.

Your government hates you. (Incognito)

Canada must call China’s bluff on canola

China’s decision to slap duties on Canadian canola is meant to send a message: submit to removing the tariff on Chinese EVs, or pay the price. For too long, Beijing has treated Canadian farmers as pawns in a geopolitical chess game. But this time, the message should go the other way. Canada holds the trump card. If we call China’s bluff, absorb the short-term cost, and invest in value-added capacity, we can break the cycle of economic coercion once and for all.

This is a wish dream.

Canada’s Titans of industry are corporate welfare bums unwilling to invest to improve productivity.

Instead they live it up behind a gated community of government supported cartels, tax payer subsidies, interprovincial trade barriers and the import of masses of unskilled labour.

This is what the Elbow people are protecting.

Canadians skeptical White House warmth will ease trade tensions

Despite cordial exchanges in Washington this week, most Canadians remain unconvinced that progress is coming in the U.S.–Canada trade dispute, according to new data from the Angus Reid Institute.

Two-thirds (67%) of Canadians say the friendly tone between U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney is merely optics and will not lead to a meaningful deal.

Melanie Joly pushing F-35 maker for economic benefits in Canada

The federal industry minister is putting pressure on U.S.-based Lockheed Martin to provide more economic benefits in Canada if the government is to proceed with its planned purchase of 88 F-35 fighter jets.

Otherwise, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said in a French-language interview on Radio-Canada’s Les coulisses du pouvoir, Ottawa could move forward with a smaller fleet of F-35s and the acquisition of a second fleet of Gripen-E fighter jets manufactured by Sweden’s Saab. That company has offered to assemble Gripens in Canada.

Joly made the comments as Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is still mulling the fate of the $27.7-billion fighter jet contract.

Yes you read that right. Melanie Joly.

Canada’s plan to donate refurbished armour to Ukraine appears to be on the scrap heap

Ukraine has yet to receive the more than two dozen refurbished light armoured vehicles Canada promised to the war-torn country in September 2023, CBC News has learned.

The vehicles remain stuck in bureaucratic and corporate limbo — even though the Department of National Defence delivered the decommissioned vehicles to an Ontario-based company for reconstruction almost two years ago.

The fate of the restoration contract, publicly acknowledged around Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s high-profile visit to Ottawa and believed to be worth between $150 million and $250 million, yet is now shrouded in secrecy.

Cars or canola? Canada between a rock and a hard place

“One of the remarkable things about life,” said the great sage Calvin — co-star, along with Hobbes, the tiger, of “the last great newspaper comic strip” — is that “it’s never so bad it can’t get worse.” So did the Canadian auto industry find out last Sunday, when the Chinese ambassador to our country, Wang Di, told CTV News reporter Vassy Kapelos that “China [would] remove the tariffs on the relevant products of Canada” if we, in turn, eliminated the tariffs we’ve imposed on Chinese electric vehicles.

Tough call for the Elbow people ahead.

Carney luvs China as does our China class but his Liberal Party also hates the West.  

Trump is fulfilling a campaign promise to re-shore auto assembly and as we have seen with Stellantis  auto manufacturers are heeding his call.

It may be that Canada’s auto-industry or what’s left of it is part supply only.

B.C. premier calls on feds to support forestry workers amid new U.S. tariffs on lumber, wood

B.C. Premier David Eby is calling on the federal government to protect forestry workers as new tariffs imposed by the U.S. president threaten to topple an already struggling industry.

On Tuesday, the U.S. slapped a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian lumber — on top of a 35 per cent duty already in place.

The U.S. also put a 25 per cent tariff on some Canadian wood products, like furniture.
