Canada ‘doesn’t have a military,’ Duffy says as cross-border trade war ignites

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy fired back at Canada on live television Sunday morning after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced “dollar-for-dollar” retaliatory tariffs in response to the new 50% U.S. tariffs.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Duffy said it was “foolish” for Canada to start a trade war with the United States, in part, because America’s northern neighbor “doesn’t have a military.” Canada does have a military, though it is much smaller than the U.S. military.

Mark Carney doesn’t stop the United States from driving negotiations over a cliff

Mark Carney doesn’t stop the United States from driving negotiations over a cliff

After a week of manufactured drama and unnecessary strain, Prime Minister Mark Carney emerged on Saturday morning to explain “why we’re walking away from a bad deal — and what comes next.”

“For over a year, Canada has worked intensively and in good faith with the United States to negotiate a new, comprehensive trade deal,” Carney said. “We’ve been pragmatic, patient and persistent.”

Apparently that was not sufficient. In a statement released 20 minutes to midnight on Friday night, Carney said that “last-minute changes” in the terms proposed by American negotiators were “unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.”

He is a ChiCom asset.

BRULOTTE: Liberals made Canada almost impossible to build

BRULOTTE: Liberals made Canada almost impossible to build

For a decade, the federal Liberal government allowed one of the most damaging misconceptions in Canadian economic policy to take root: that indigenous consultation means indigenous consent and that consent effectively means a veto over major projects. That was never the law, but Justin Trudeau’s Liberals behaved and spoke in ways that allowed Canadians, investors, and indigenous communities to wonder whether it was.

More Than Half of Canadians Struggling to Meet Financial Commitments: Federal Memo
More Canadians owe more money than ever before and use debt to survive, with millions of people having “no margin for error” if a financial crisis strikes, a new document suggests.
“Many Canadians are under financial strain … over half of Canadians (53%) report that they struggle to keep up with financial commitments,” the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) said in a recently released memo, which was first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.

Why is the Carney government inviting China’s propaganda machine into Canada?

Why is the Carney government inviting China’s propaganda machine into Canada?

Six months after Mark Carney’s historic trip to China, the first for a Canadian prime minister in nearly a decade, CBC announced it will reopen its Beijing bureau. Pending final approvals, a Canadian journalist will be permanently working in mainland China for the first time in years.

The bureau shuttered in 2022, after Beijing would not renew its correspondent’s visa. But that was when the Canadian government viewed the country as one of our greatest security threats. Today, the Canadian government says China is our “strategic partner.”

More Canadian journalists on the ground to cover a world superpower is welcome news. But will they be safe from documented spying, arrest, and harassment? What will they actually be allowed to report on?

From Jihadism to Lethal Foreign Interference: Canada’s Threats Have Multiplied Since 9/11

From Jihadism to Lethal Foreign Interference: Canada’s Threats Have Multiplied Since 9/11

OTTAWA — Twenty-five years ago, many of us witnessed an event that changed the world — and us — irrevocably. To label anything “world-changing” is fraught with danger. What exactly changed? Were these changes truly global in nature? Why does an occurrence in one country — the United States — qualify as such?

Jesse Kline: Deal or no deal, Carney Liberals have failed to build Canada

Jesse Kline: Deal or no deal, Carney Liberals have failed to build Canada

It should come as no surprise that U.S. President Donald Trump’s Wednesday deadline to impose 50 per cent tariffs on $29 billion worth of Canadian goods came and passed with little fanfare — the president is famous for making boisterous threats and then backing down at the last minute. But as businesses, consumers and investors eagerly await details of a trade deal that may-or-may-not come by Friday, the lesson for Canadians should be that we cannot continue to allow our fate to hang on the whims of foreign politicians.

Another duty to warn letter casts doubt on Carney’s rapprochement with India

Another duty to warn letter casts doubt on Carney’s rapprochement with India

Another Sikh Canadian activist has been issued a “duty to warn” letter, casting further doubt on the Carney government’s claims that it has dealt with the issue of Indian government foreign interference and transnational repression.

Inderjeet Singh Gosal says he received the letter on Friday, Aug. 14, after RCMP contacted him by phone in Caledon, Ont.

Duty to warn letters are issued by police when they possess credible intelligence that there is a threat to the life of a citizen. They typically do not provide information on the nature of the threat.


He shouldn’t be in Canada. Remigration now.

CALGARY — Justin Trudeau and his popstar girlfriend Katy Perry are reportedly receiving the royal treatment from the RCMP, as they are being used as Trudeau’s security.

A senior member of the Iranian regime has been deported from Canada after a judge dismissed his last-minute appeal, Global News has learned.

I’m more interested in learning who has been letting his likes into Canada.

Our government appears deeply compromised by foreign powers and criminals.

Carney’s final chance to convince Trump as US-Canada trade deadline looms

Carney’s final chance to convince Trump as US-Canada trade deadline looms

“Intense” trade talks are going down to the wire as Canada seeks to avoid a fresh round of tariffs from the Trump administration due to come into effect on Wednesday.

Canadian negotiators have been camped out in Washington for a week, trying to pin down some agreement before new 50% tariffs on some $20bn (C$28bn) worth of Canadian imports are imposed.

Prime Minister Mark Carney kept details of the talks close to his chest when pressed by reporters on Monday, saying that given the “very delicate and intense” negotiations, it is “not the time to negotiate in public”.

House public safety committee to hold special meeting on accused NATO spy

House public safety committee to hold special meeting on accused NATO spy

OTTAWA — The House of Commons public safety committee will meet Monday to decide whether to investigate potential security screening failures, after a Canadian woman was arrested in Belgium for allegedly spying on NATO.

On July 25, Belgian authorities announced the arrest of a “Canadian national of Chinese origin” on suspicion of spying for a third country while working as an intern at NATO’s central military headquarters in southern Belgium. The suspect was subsequently identified as Biwei “Claire” Zhang, a computer science and systems engineering graduate in her early 30s who’d previously held positions at multiple Canadian federal agencies.
