Is the HiLux Coming to America?

President Trump appeared to say that Americans are going to be allowed — isn’t it great? — to buy small, inexpensive vehicles that are not currently available for sale in America, because it is illegal to sell them in America. Models such as the little pickup made by Toyota — the HiLux — being one of them. Also, the so-called “Kei” cars, which are abundant in Japan but unavailable here.

Canadians say selecting the best fighter jet for the job matters more than jobs: Nanos

As the Canadian government reviews its commitment to purchase American-made Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets, a new poll shows what Canadians think should be prioritized in procuring replacements to the aging CF-18s.

The CTV News and Nanos Research survey gauged Canadian’s views on what matters the most to them in terms of defence cooperation, in light of ongoing trade tensions with the U.S. and a pitch from Swedish manufacturer of the Gripen fighter jet, SAAB, to bring up to 10,000 manufacturing and research jobs to Canada if Ottawa adds the aircraft to its military fleet.

Trump administration will expand travel ban to more than 30 countries, Noem says

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration will be expanding its ban on travel for citizens of certain countries to more than 30, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, in the latest restriction to come since a man from Afghanistan was accused of shooting two National Guard members.

The expansion would build on a travel ban already announced in June by the Republican administration, which barred travel to the U.S. for citizens from 12 countries and restricted access to the U.S. for people from seven others. In a social media post earlier this week, Noem had suggested more countries would be included.

US tells Europe it must take over ‘the majority’ of NATO’s defence capabilities by 2027 as Trump shifts American military focus

The United States wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO’s defense capabilities by 2027, Pentagon officials told diplomats in Washington this week.

The message, recounted by five sources familiar with the discussion, including a US official, was conveyed at a meeting in Washington this week of Pentagon staff overseeing NATO policy and several European delegations.

The shifting of this burden from the US to European members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation would dramatically change how the United States, a founding member of the post-war alliance, works with its most important military partners.

Critics question Saab’s offer to bring 10,000 aerospace jobs to Canada

OTTAWA – Critics are questioning the solidity of Saab’s pitch to deliver 10,000 jobs in Canada if it decides to set up shop here to assemble Gripen fighter jets.

The Swedish company has said little about how it came to that number, making it hard to evaluate the offer.

Saab spokesperson Jenny Gerdes said the estimate reflects the “scale of work” the company anticipates bringing to the country, “should the Gripen be selected.”

“The figure is based on projected global demand for Gripen and the corresponding production, sustainment and R&D activities Canada would undertake,” Gerdes said in an email.


Lots of If’s.

Normal Americans Are The Ones Who Pay The Price For Biden’s Disastrous Immigration Policies

Americans are paying dearly for the Biden administration’s open-border policies that indiscriminately allowed rapists, murderers, and terrorists to walk right in. We’re paying the bill daily. Just ask the families of the two National Guard members that federal officials say were shot by an Afghan national in an ambush-style attack while they were helping protect the nation’s capital.

4 Reasons Our Society is Collapsing – Can we change?

A recent article describes the USA as being in a moral and philosophical freefall. The writer concludes with the grim summary statement “We are well along the way to becoming the next failed society.” The author lists five failures in various sectors of our culture:  indebtedness, poor education, shift away from being a manufacturing economy, cultural balkanization, and lack of common or shared goals. He also expresses a profound and needed concern about the indifference to a conscious preference for certain philosophers who once were taught and/or more revered than they are today – men like Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, and Immanuel Kant.

Trump: Europe faces ‘civilisational erasure’ from migration

Europe faces “civilisational erasure” if it does not cut migration, according to a National Security Strategy released by the White House that signals an unprecedented level of intervention.

The continent will be “unrecognisable in 20 years or less” if present trends continue, the 29-page document warns, adding that several nations could be “majority non-European”.

The strategy document, which laid out the Trump administration’s priorities across the globe, warns that Europe’s migration policies are “creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition”.

Canada must admit that Trump’s America is not a ‘safe’ place for refugees

Since its inception in 2004, the legitimacy of the Safe Third Country Agreement has always been predicated on the convenient fiction that the United States offers refugee claimants the same protections as Canada provides to asylum seekers who arrive in this country.

Even before Donald Trump became U.S. President for the first time in 2016, concerns about the treatment of those who claim refugee status in the U.S. cast long shadows over the bilateral agreement under which Canada turns back most asylum seekers from third countries who try to enter this country at the U.S. border. Successive governments in Ottawa have largely glossed over those concerns, reasoning that the U.S. refugee system, while imperfect, met minimum standards set out in international conventions.

‘So Deeply Concerned’: Walz Complains of Motorists Calling Him A Retard During Drive-Bys After Trump Insults

The governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, says people are driving by his home hurling insults in the wake of President Trump calling him “seriously retarded” during a Thanksgiving message.

“This creates danger. And I’ll tell you what. In my time on this, I’d never seen this before,” an indignant Mr. Walz said. “People driving by my house and using the r-word in front of people. This is shameful. And I have yet to see an elected official, a Republican elected official say, ‘You’re right. That’s shameful. He should not say it’.

Not the 51st state but a vassal state: What Donald Trump’s national security strategy envisions for Canada

Yes, the signals emerging from Donald Trump’s White House have appeared at times to be petulant, contradictory, scattershot, or simply shot from the hip.

But be assured, or disturbed, that there is a coherent strategy — or at least an official 29-page paper bearing that name.

Released online late on Thursday night, the 2025 National Security Strategy is a document the occupant of the Oval Office is required by law to deliver to Congress each year.


We already are a vassal state.
