Steve Bannon says Canadians should take U.S. President Trump’s 51st state comments as ‘the greatest compliment you’ve ever had.’

Canada’s Arctic will be a ‘tremendous vulnerability,’ Bannon says

At the America’s biggest annual Republican gathering, Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to Donald Trump, is hosting his War Room talk show from the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Convention.

Dozens of people surrounded his CPAC set to watch his broadcast and to snap selfies with the man who helped first install Trump in the Oval Office in 2016.

His show included chats with supporters of Hungary’s ultranationalist leader Victor Orban and “J6ers,” whom he heralded as heroes for participating in the 2021 Capitol riots. When the 71-year-old got off stage, he heaped praise on the president’s machinations to annex Canada.

10 years of denigrating Canada and mass immigration from incompatible cultures and they expect us to rally round the flag.

The inside story of Delta flight 4819: How a crash-landing in Toronto came within a single spark of being so much worse

Peter Carlson was going to be away from his wife and three kids for only a few days. He was headed to visit an old friend, a paramedic chief who had invited him to a conference in Toronto. By now, as he neared the end to an uneventful flight from Minneapolis, Carlson wasn’t far above Pearson International Airport.

Below, Michael Nolan was ready to pick him up. He was waiting, working away in his SUV, next to Pearson’s Runway 23. He didn’t pick up everyone from the airport, but for Carlson — the guy Nolan had met 11 years ago at a conference in Salt Lake City, and whom he considered a paramedic thought leader — he was willing to put in the effort.

Canadians Satisfied With Their Quality of Life Plunges Further

Canada’s sharp policy turns have dramatically impacted the quality of life. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) data reveals that most people are highly satisfied with life and that share was rising in Q4 2024… but only for seniors 65 and older. The general sentiment in the country continued to erode, especially amongst the critical demographics of Core Aged workers and recent immigrants. A brief period of predatory policies appears to be setting up long-term dest   abilization for the country’s economic future.

WARMINGTON: After cancelling Macdonald, Ryerson and Cherry, mob now after the Great One

As people line up to try to cancel the Great One, the hockey legend has Grapes in his corner.

It’s kind of fitting the man voted in a CBC poll as the 7th greatest Canadian has the back of the person from that same poll who was voted the 10th greatest Canuck.

I blame the Liberal Party and their media.

President Trump calls Justin Trudeau a ‘loser’ after Team Canada beats U.S. at 4 Nations final

Donald Trump is firing back at Justin Trudeau after the Prime Minister celebrated Team Canada’s win over the U.S. at the 4 Nations Face-Off final.

Following Canada’s victory Thursday night, Trudeau — who Trump has repeatedly referred to as the “Governor of Canada” — bragged over the squad’s 3-2 overtime triumph over the USA.

“You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

Canada Must End Foreign Interference on University Campuses

The Chinese philosopher Confucius is of course a household name for many. He may have lived 2,500 years ago, but many of his sayings still reverberate today. Here is a sampling relevant to the topic at hand:

“Study the past if you would define the future” and “An oppressive government is more to be feared than a tiger.”

In this country, some may be aware of the presence of “Confucius Institutes” on several university campuses and within school boards. These bodies, sponsored by the People’s Republic of China, were founded in 2007 to “promote the learning of Chinese language in Canada, to foster Sino-Canada educational exchanges and to improve the understanding between Canada and China.” Who could argue with such lofty goals?

BAROOTES: Blink all you like, you won’t miss a thing in Liberal leadership race

 

Oh, Canada’s Liberal leadership race — could it be any more fixed and favouring the few?

It’s like watching a rerun of a show you never liked in the first place. The contenders are all singing the same tired tune, obsessing over Trump’s tariff threats as if they’re the only issue that matters, while conveniently ignoring the real challenges that shape the Great White North.

Trade war: What do Americans think of their former best friends in Canada?

I’ll be fine with a few less Tim Horton’s blighting the land.

STRATFORD, NEW JERSEY — The closest Canadian stronghold to Donald Trump’s Trade-War-A-Lago is a bright, spacious fortress with plenty of free parking in the suburbs of Philadelphia, 230 kilometres northeast of the Oval Office. It is a command centre and commissariat where the True North is revered, the current American president is reviled, annexation will be strenuously resisted, and a Maple Dip costs US$1.81, tax included.

A bit ironic that the article features Tim Horton’s a foreign owned and long faded national icon known more for its substandard 3rd World service than as a symbol of “Canadiana”.

70% of Canadians support retaliatory tariffs on United States: Poll

OTTAWA — Seventy per cent of Canadians are in favour of dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on the United States, a new poll suggests.

Nearly half of respondents to the Leger poll — 45 per cent — said they were strongly in favour of such tariffs, while 25 per cent said they were somewhat in favour.

U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to impose steep tariffs on imports from Canada and other countries.

No assurance Canada can escape Trump tariffs, despite new border measures, minister says

Public Safety Minister David McGuinty says he has been given no assurances yet that Canada can avoid tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, despite the federal government’s latest measures to address border security and drug trafficking.

“I haven’t heard that personally, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop. We’re going to continue implementing,” McGuinty said in an interview with CTV’s Power Play on Thursday.

Earlier this month, Canada got reprieve for at least 30 days from Trump’s threat to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian imports — except energy products, which would be subject to a 10 per cent tariff — after making new commitments to secure the shared border. Those tariffs could come into effect as soon as March 4.

As snap election speculation swirls, Liberals and NDP trailing Conservatives in candidate nominations

As the race to name the next Liberal leader nears the finish line, speculation is swirling that the winner could be angling to seize on the party’s current momentum and call a snap election soon after.

But party data suggests two of the three major parties could use some more time to get campaign-ready, with the Liberals and NDP trailing the Conservatives when it comes to picking candidates, and more still left to lock-in than they have nominated so far.

Amy Hamm: Canada needs Poilievre’s confident post-woke nationalism

Forget about that crunchy apple he ate in an orchard once: Pierre Poilievre’s hyper-nationalist rebranding, unveiled at last weekend’s Canada First Rally in Ottawa, is pitch perfect. Or so Conservatives should hope.

The biggest uncertainty — and threat — for any potential prime minister who’s riding high in national polls is a lengthy wait for the writ to drop. Anything could go wrong during the interim.
