Canada plans to assist Cuba as Washington squeezes the island
…US President Donald Trump’s administration has moved to block all oil from reaching Cuba, including that from ally Venezuela, pushing up prices for food and transportation and prompting severe fuel shortages and hours of blackouts.
“We are preparing a plan to assist. We are not prepared at this point to provide any further details of an announcement,” Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand said on Monday, without giving details on what such an assistance will include.
A self-proclaimed ‘scholar of the far right’ was blasted on social media after she ‘fled’ the United States to Canada.
Nope Brigade is an academic researcher who studies conservative and right-wing ideologies, and recently ‘fled’ from the current Trump administration to Vancouver – one of the world’s priciest cities.
Brigade posted a social media video begging for help after she and her family moved from Los Angeles, only to be hit with an even worse affordability crisis.
Or she and her partner and their cat and their dog could turn around and go back to the US, where they can afford to live and get health care. What kind of imbeciles are they? @fancypants_shttps://t.co/5mt3BIoHDN
This was not a good weekend for those in Canada who suffer TDS. They made Sunday’s hockey match with Team USA all about politics and Canadian pride. The trash-talking turned to trash-eating. But I do congratulate Canada on its two silver medals in hockey—female and male. Maybe if we make it a best of the 57 genders tournament, Canada will beat Team USA.
Remember, not all Canadians suffer TDS. Sane Canadians realize it’s just a game they usually win. The last time the USA men’s team won was The Miracle on Ice. In all, Canadian men have 9 men’s team gold medals. The USA has 3.
OTTAWA — The Conservatives plan to put a motion before the House of Commons on Tuesday aimed at reviewing how health benefits are provided to asylum seekers and restricting who has access to those services.
The planned text of the motion, which has been shared with The Canadian Press, says the cost of the Interim Federal Health Program has more than quadrupled since the 2020 fiscal year, growing from $211 million to $896 million in 2024-25.
That data was pulled from a report by the parliamentary budget officer published earlier this month.
They should only be offered MAiD like Canadian citizens, that’ll send them packing back home.
3 men, 1 youth arrested in GTA human trafficking investigation involving female youths
Three men and one youth have been arrested following a two-year investigation into human trafficking across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
In a release on Monday, Peel police said in January 2024, investigators with their Vice and Human Trafficking Unit began looking into allegations that several young female victims, ages 11 to 14 years old, were being trafficked and exploited in the sex-trade throughout the GTA.
From Mark Carney’s globalist agenda to the ‘climate crisis’ charade, the West is ready to choose dignity and prosperity over the growing mess of the Canadian state.
One of the pleasures of writing columns for the Western Standard is receiving feedback. A recent email from a former law school roommate posed some interesting and relevant questions that, while unable to answer, this column can perhaps provide some perspective and context.
One addressed geography — would independence be just Alberta or also include Saskatchewan and Manitoba? To that, I would include parts of British Columbia.
In light of President Trump’s recent threats to Greenland, there was considerable interest at last week’s Munich Security Conference in the last great “ungoverned”, “interstitial” region of the world: the vast Arctic. Alas, the emerging manner of “governing” the Arctic is not only militaristic, but exceedingly incoherent in its militarism.
The ostensible response to America threatening to annex Greenland is to increase Nato’s presence and interest in Greenland. And the ostensible response to Russian Arctic ambitions or actions is, again, to increase Nato presence and interest in the Arctic. In short, more Nato presence appears to be a fix-all to Arctic threats emanating from allies and adversaries alike.
In February 2025, Canada listed seven transnational organized crime groups, primarily Mexican cartels, as terrorist entities, noting “their drug trafficking activities are a risk to national security and must be stopped.” In a follow-up media interview, senior RCMP officers confirmed that all listed groups were active in Canada and “very much involved in crime impacting Canada.”
The move sparked significant debate. Critics argued that terrorism is ideologically motivated, seeking political or social change through fear, whereas organized crime is driven by profit and pragmatism. While cartels use terrorist-like violence, it is typically to protect markets, eliminate rivals, or deter state interference — not to alter political structures. In this view, cartels and terrorists occupy different ends of the threat spectrum.
A TTC employee has been suspended and faces criminal charges after he allegedly sexually assaulted a female coworker “numerous times.”
While Toronto Police have not identified the accused man’s employer, the Toronto Transit Commission has confirmed authorities were contacted after a female employee complained about serious workplace “misconduct” allegedly by a male co-worker.
Donald Trump’s administration got the last laugh over former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and their neighbors to the north on Sunday.
The USA clinched victory over Canada in a blockbuster bust-up between the two bitter rivals to claim its first Winter Olympics gold medal in hockey since the ‘Miracle on Ice’ in 1980.
Canada is turning its armed forces over to foreign mercenaries. What could go wrong?
A new age of ‘total war’ may be approaching. What would it mean for a generation of young, fighting-age Canadians to be thrust into a military conflict? For that, we look to Ukraine
Around this time of year, Grade 12 students across the country are starting to hear back about their university applications. For many, an acceptance letter represents the pinnacle of a long and arduous process – not only the countless hours of studying and prepping for exams, but also the gauntlet of sports practices, music lessons and volunteer hours that fill out the applicant’s extracurricular profile.
University admissions are but one milestone in a larger social script – one that reflects our assumptions about what it means to “make it” in contemporary society. It’s a familiar script, whose story beats are the stuff of a thousand bank advertisements: convocations, starter jobs and starter homes, painting a baby’s room, a luxury car, a long stretch of golden years, laughter on a beach.
I doubt many will sign up and Ukraine is not exactly a role model.
OTTAWA — In recent months, Canadian democracy has been shaken by events that ought to prompt serious reflection — not just from politicians, but from every voter who believes in representative government. For years, leaning on my expertise as a former RCMP Superintendent, I have warned that complacency, political expediency, and foreign influence are eroding the ethical foundations of our institutions. Today, those warnings feel more relevant than ever.
Cuba a Communist Shithole serves as a role model for the Liberal Party of Canada
The government of Canada says it is still thinking about whether to send humanitarian aid to Cuba, as the island confronts a looming disaster under an American oil embargo that is, in practice, a full blockade.
“Canada is monitoring the situation carefully and is concerned about the increasing risk of a humanitarian crisis on the island,” said Global Affairs Canada’s Charlotte MacLeod in a written statement shared with CBC News.
“As the situation continues to evolve, Canada is evaluating options to support Cuba’s most vulnerable people. Canada has a long-standing record of providing life-saving humanitarian assistance to Cuba in response to acute crises.”
An Ontario court has ruled that the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) must hold a new hearing, with a different adjudicator, in the case of a Black trans man who complained of discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression at a walk-in medical clinic.
Jordan Renae Thorne originally filed an HRTO complaint alleging he was “repeatedly misgendered” by a physician and an office assistant at a walk-in clinic in December 2017.
