Interest from U.S. doctors looking to work in Canada has spiked but few have made the move

The passing thought of moving to Canada from the United States because of its political climate became an active idea for physician Libby Fleming when, in 2022, the constitutional right to abortion was overturned south of the border.

She had a planned trip to Costa Rica later that summer but cancelled it, booking a plane ticket to Nova Scotia instead. The Atlantic province was a bucket-list destination for her. It was also actively recruiting foreign physicians to address a country-wide shortage of doctors.

Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Is Evidence of Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual warfare is real, undeniably real, and the Western world is currently in the throes of it. Some years ago, it may have been easy (or at least easier than it is now) to brush off the wearisome warning of Christians who saw Satan’s hand in everything from blatant evils like abortion to sly innuendo in children’s movies. But the present state of the Western world leaves no doubt that powers and principalities are doing battle here and now, and the prizes being fought for are our souls.

Canada and Mexico Turn to Trains and Ports to Skirt U.S. Tariff Wall

This week I joined Prime Minister Mark Carney on his whirlwind trip to Mexico City to meet the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum.

We were in Mexico for only about 25 hours. But as I wrote with Emiliano Rodriguez Mega, my colleague who is based in Mexico City, Mr. Carney apparently succeeded in one of his key objectives: winning back Mexico’s trust while the two countries grapple with President Trump’s tariff chaos.

I can’t wait to see what Trump has in store for Carney when CUSMA is renegotiated, he and Mexico will stick it to him I suspect.

California bans most law enforcement including ICE from wearing masks

California’s governor has signed a bill to ban local and federal law enforcement officers, including with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), from wearing face masks while on duty.

The ban, which comes into effect on 1 January 2026, is part of a series of bills that aims to protect residents from what Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has called “secret police” roaming the streets.

US Attorney Bill Essayli, a Trump appointee, said California “has no jurisdiction over the federal government”, adding the law has “no effect on our operations” and agents “will continue to protect their identities”.

Canadian politicians, experts push back against U.S. ambassador’s anti-Americanism concerns

Canadian politicians and experts are pushing back against U.S. ambassador Pete Hoekstra’s frustration over the anti-American sentiment he’s seen in Canada after U.S. President Donald Trump hit the world with tariffs.

“When you kick the dog, you can’t blame it for snarling back,” said Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association and member of the prime minister’s Canada-U.S. relations council.

That’s A Good Thing: Number of asylum seekers turned back by Canada grows despite U.S. threat of third-country deportation

Canada – Camp of The Saints Doormat

Canada’s government is sending more asylum-seekers hoping to file claims in Canada back to the U.S. under a bilateral pact, even as the U.S. says it may deport them to third countries.

Some of the people Canada is turning back should be eligible to file refugee claims in Canada, lawyers say, under exemptions to the Safe Third Country Agreement. The agreement broadly requires asylum-seekers at the Canada-U.S. border to be sent back to the first of the two countries they entered but allows some people – for example those with close family in Canada or stateless persons – to file claims.

Not our problem.

A crazed gunman shouted ‘Free Palestine’ before he opened fire on a Nashua, New Hampshire, wedding reception and killed one guest — just as the bride and groom were about to start their first dance, according to witnesses.

Police have charged Hunter Nadeau, 23, with murder after arresting him on Saturday night following the deadly shooting at Sky Meadow Country Club about 40 miles north of Boston.

The victim has been identified as Robert Steven DeCesare, 59.

Canadians aren’t mad at America anymore. We’re hurt, suspicious, and moving on

It has been nine months since Donald Trump returned to the White House, and in that time has upended the world order around trade, relentlessly expressed an “America first” mentality, and mused about annexing Canada as the 51st state.

He also seems to have upended how Canadians see our southern neighbour.

I was never mad at Trump or America.

I remain angry that Canada is run as a 2nd rate fiefdom by our profiteering elites who deliberately undermine citizens at every turn.

What’s left out of media reporting on the National Guard in D.C. tells the tale of relentless bias

USA Today published an article detailing how expensive it is for National Guard troops to act as D.C. garbage men. It’s intended to anger readers, and probably did anger many who didn’t notice the most important information that USA Today left out of the article.

So, ask yourself what’s missing in this headline and article?

US forces strike third alleged drug vessel killing three, Trump says

President Donald Trump has said US forces carried out a “lethal kinetic strike” on a vessel which he said was trafficking drugs, and the attack killed three “male narcoterrorists” on board.

Trump said he ordered the attack on the boat, which was in the US Southern Command’s area of responsibility, after US intelligence confirmed it was trafficking drugs. It was the third such strike on alleged drug boats in recent weeks.

Trump’s statement on Truth Social on Friday said the strike happened in international waters. The US Southern Command’s area of responsibility covers most of South America and the Caribbean.

‘Sharp increase’ of known or suspected terrorists entering U.S. from Canada, FBI director testifies

FBI Director Kash Patel says there has been a “sharp increase of known or suspected terrorists” entering the U.S. through Canada.

He made the remarks during a U.S. house oversight hearing on Wednesday. Patel was responding to a question from Republican Congressman Kevin Kiley, who asked about the risk of terrorism posed by illegal border crossings.

Patel claimed that, since he rose to the helm of the bureau, there had been a significant drop in known or suspected terrorist crossings from the southern border, but a sharp increase from the north.

Trump adds $100,000 fee for skilled worker visa applicants

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will add a $100,000 (£74,000) annual fee for applicants to the H-1B visa programme for skilled foreign workers.

Trump’s order mentions “abuse” of the programme and will restrict entry unless payment is made.

Critics have long argued that H-1Bs undercut the American workforce, while supporters – including billionaire Elon Musk – argue it allows the US to attract top talent from around the world.

Great work by President Trump to protect American citizens from the much abused H-1B program but in Canada the Corporate Grifters rule ...

Reflections on the Coming Days of Rage

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was already positively impacting the world with his indefatigable, peaceful, joyful, godly work to change hearts and minds, but in mere days, his assassination by a cowardly sniper’s bullet has already launched a tsunami of change he likely could not have imagined. The world is entering a different epoch now, and as with all shifts into a new age, there will be birthing pains.
