Stellantis halts activity at Brampton Assembly in Ontario

In a move likely to induce whiplash for some Canadians in the automotive sector in Southern Ontario, it is being reported that Stellantis is stopping all activity at the Brampton Assembly Plant, effective immediately. Talking heads at Automotive News say the parent company of brands like Ram and Jeep is taking a pause on plans for the facility, a space which was to have been used to produce the next-gen Jeep Compass.

Colby Cosh: Is there even a case for the Liberal high-speed rail plan?

On Wednesday, our lame-duck PM quacked out the news that “Canada is getting high-speed rail”: this is of course duckspeak for “the usual engineering firms are being handed billions of dollars to devise a plan for high-speed rail in a 1,000-kilometre strip of Ontario and Quebec.” In the new spirit of national unity, I suppose I am not allowed to object to the idea on behalf of any of the other eight provinces. But, like a troll in a riddle, I have questions three before this railroad you will see. And the first is the Inevitable Mike Moffatt Question, already asked by the economist and tribune of southwestern Ontario …

Muslim arrested in Quebec in connection with alleged NYC terror plot against Jews waives right to fight extradition to U.S.

The federal government is increasing the number of refugees it plans to resettle as a result of Sudan’s civil war, with changes that could see 7,000 more people reach Canada through various programs.

But Ottawa says it remains impossible for Quebecers to sponsor relatives from Sudan to resettle in that province.

Instead, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Quebecers can now apply to resettle their relatives as long as they go to another province.

Justin Trudeau declares US ‘can’t take our country’ after Canada’s 4 Nations championship win

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a shot at the US on Thursday night after his country’s hockey team defeated the Americans in the highly anticipated 4 Nations championship game.

“You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” the outgoing prime minister declared in a terse statement posted to X after Team Canada beat their North American neighbors 3-2 in overtime.

Despite Trudeau’s public assertion in keeping Canada a sovereign state, he seems to be less confident behind closed doors.

Canada at the Crossroads

With Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau’s globalist policies, unchecked immigration, and high taxes threatening Canada’s sovereignty, the question arises: Is it time for Canada to bjoin the United States? For generations, Canadians have believed in the idea of a unified, indivisible Canada — that no matter what happens, the country will always remain intact. The idea of breaking apart or joining another nation has been dismissed as unthinkable, even laughable.

But history proves otherwise. Nations change. Borders shift. Political realities evolve. The belief that Canada will always remain as it is, is not based on facts — it is based on assumption.

BARCLAY: Who we are not… the Canadian mosaic falls apart

‘Trump, annexation, and the collapse of Canada’s national identity.’

During the recent US-Canada Economic Summit, Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, frantically remarked that “…Trump’s threat to annex Canada is a real thing,” and suggested that President Trump desires to annex Canada specifically “…because he wants to access [Canada’s] critical minerals.”

Unfortunately, despite Prime Minister Trudeau’s claims, President Trump’s campaign to transform Canada into America’s 51st state has not become “a real thing” because of President Trump’s conquistadorial agenda or desire to acquire Canada’s mineral resources.

Ottawa designates cartels and street gangs as terrorist groups, fulfilling promise to Trump

The federal government designated seven criminal organizations — including cartels and street gangs involved in trafficking fentanyl — as terrorists on Thursday, delivering on a promise made to U.S. President Donald Trump in hopes of staving off economically devastating tariffs.

“These are ruthless, transnational criminal organizations,” said Public Safety Minister David McGuinty during a news conference on Parliament Hill.

Trump’s talk about Canada parrots Putin’s claims on Ukraine says CBC

It took a while for Canadian politicians to figure out that Donald Trump wasn’t joking with his talk about annexing Canada.

After Trump raised the idea at a dinner in Mar-A-Lago attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Nov. 29, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic Leblanc said the “joke” was actually a positive.

“The president was teasing us. It was, of course, in no way a serious comment,” LeBlanc said.

OTTAWA — A new poll suggests that more than a quarter of Canadians — 27 per cent — now see the United States as an “enemy” country, while another 30 per cent still say they consider the U.S. an ally.
