Washington, we have a problem. The United States appears to be retreating into isolationism in ways not seen in a century and a half, with potentially appalling consequences. And we couldn’t be handling it worse if we were Kremlin plants.

If you value the Pax Americana, and you should, we must find some way of persuading our neighbours and long-time protectors not to lay their burden down. Childish abuse won’t get it done. Calling Donald Trump a pro-Russian tyrant will certainly not persuade him or his MAGA supporters to reengage with the world on our terms.

The constitutional problems preventing Canada from becoming the 51st state are so intractable that the idea is less practical than building a Mediterranean Riviera in Gaza.

For Canada to dissolve itself would require a constitutional amendment that would need the agreement of the House of Commons, the Senate and every province, not to mention First Nations.

On the U.S. side, President Donald Trump could present Congress with a treaty similar to the one that ended the Mexican-American War in 1847 that added nine states, including California.

The general manager of the US men’s ice hockey team said he would welcome a visit from Donald Trump to the 4 Nations Face-Off final between the United States and Canada on Thursday night.

Bill Guerin, who played 18 years in the NHL, said on Fox News that Trump’s presence would give a boost to the rivalry between the North American hockey powers. He credited Trump’s tariff threats and talk of making Canada the 51st US state for raising the intensity in their fight-filled matchup in the preliminary round.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday auto tariffs will be around 25% and he will have more to share on the topic on April 2.

On Friday, Trump said levies on automobiles would come as soon as April 2, the day after members of his cabinet are due to deliver reports to him outlining options for a range of import duties as he seeks to reshape global trade.

Trump has long pointed to what he calls unfair treatment of U.S. automotive exports in foreign markets.

The United States controls many of the key systems onboard Canada’s new warships, allowing the Americans to hold this country hostage over future upgrades or even the provision of spare parts, defence industry officials warn.

Taxpayers are spending as much as $80 billion on a new fleet of Canadian Surface Combatants to be constructed at Irving Shipbuilding.

President Donald Trump just imposed 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum and may soon place similar tariffs on all other products entering the United States.

These tariffs will devastate our economy. In fact, they may throw us into a recession. It’s imperative we do everything we can to stop these tariffs from happening.

However, it’s interesting to see so many Liberal and NDP politicians suddenly beating the drum of Canadian patriotism. These are the same politicians who, until just a couple weeks ago, often referred to our country as “so-called” Canada and denounced it as a genocidal state.

OTTAWA—U. S. President Donald Trump’s 51st state annexation threats are a “wake-up call” to many of Canada’s European allies who have remained publicly silent and oblivious, says Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly.

Although Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was captured on hot mic 10 days ago telling Canadian business and union leaders that Trump’s desire to subsume Canada into the United States is “a real thing,” Joly said even now U.S. senators and representatives she met in Paris, Munich and Brussels continue to joke about it, while allies appeared unaware.

Joly changed her mind upon realizing she could shop with US dollars and never pay duty again once annexation was accomplished.
