President Donald Trump has told Canada that if it recognizes Palestine as a state, it’s jeopardizing a trade pact with the U.S. The threat is more than leverage for talks. It’s a reminder that the West is giving up on civilization and needs to be rousted from its slumber.
“Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine,” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. “That will make it very hard for us to make a trade deal with them.”
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is discussing a refugee admissions cap of around 40,000 for the coming year with a majority allocated to white South Africans, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the matter and an internal refugee program email, reflecting a major shift in the U.S. approach to refugees.
We need a Trump. Why can’t Canada stop being run by Marxist crooks and lunatics?

Uncle Sam. Miami Vice. When it comes to recruiting new Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the Trump administration is getting creative.
A social-media campaign launched late last month touted immigration enforcement as an opportunity for father-son bonding and to “deport illegals with your absolute boys,” a slang term for close friends. The Department of Homeland Security has invoked world-war-era imagery and touted 1990s Superman actor Dean Cain in an all-out blitz to persuade Americans they should join ICE’s ranks.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — European and NATO leaders announced Sunday they will join President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Washington for talks with President Donald Trump about ending Russia’s war in Ukraine. They are rallying around the Ukrainian leader after his exclusion from Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The remarkable show of solidarity — with leaders from France, Britain and Germany saying they would be at Zelenskyy’s side at the White House on Monday — was an apparent effort to ensure the meeting goes better than the last one in February, when Trump berated Zelenskyy in a heated Oval Office encounter.
“The Europeans are very afraid of the Oval Office scene being repeated and so they want to support Mr. Zelenskyy to the hilt,” said retired French Gen. Dominique Trinquand, a former head of France’s military mission at the United Nations.
This should be fun.
My guess is Trump will reveal the deal he and Putin worked out and this meeting may just be a courtesy to inform Zelensky and Europe of those terms.
Their acceptance will dictate the depth of continued US participation.
DALLAS — Just after dusk on July 5, the crash of wood and metal suddenly reverberated through a predominantly Black and Latino neighborhood here known as The Bottoms. Neighbors peered out to see a small army of men in desert camouflage and tactical vests crouched behind a black armored vehicle, shouting commands toward a brick house.
A SWAT team had smashed through the front door of the residence, which neighbors say was occupied by several transgender women, part of a group of activists who initially united around trans and queer identity issues. Now, the women, dressed in bathrobes and pajamas, were being detained at gunpoint, neighbors said.
“It was weird enough that six or seven White, trans people moved into the neighborhood,” said a neighbor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of privacy concerns. He rolled a joint and gazed at the plywood-covered front window: “And now the FBI is raiding their house.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney issued an unusual statement Saturday to praise U.S. President Donald Trump for trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
Carney’s public endorsement of Trump’s leadership on the world stage came as the president and his Alaskan summit were widely derided by foreign policy and security experts. The get-together was of little value and gave Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former intelligence officer, an image boost, they said.
The Trump administration has applauded Scottish prosecutors’ “sensible decision” to clear an anti-abortion campaigner over her silent protest.
Rose Docherty, 75, was arrested in February after police were called to reports of an anti-abortion protest near the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH), in Glasgow. She had been holding a sign that read: “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.”
In the wake of a stormy stretch in Canada-U.S. relations, the Canadian view of American leadership has plummeted.
Gallup’s latest survey of Canadian opinion, conducted in May and June, found approval of Washington slipping to 15 per cent, statistically in line with sentiment when Donald Trump was president the first time.
But they love Obama!
Politicians past and present from across Canada have responded to an invitation to be “adopted” by the United States with a resounding “no.”
Maine State Senator Joseph Martin suggested that British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba should become “full American states,” arguing that those who truly want “freedom” must look south of the 49th.
TULSA, OKLAHOMA — Over the past few weeks, my inbox has been flooded with frightened and heartbreaking messages from Canadian Jews. Many are scared and looking for ways out of Canada, telling deeply personal stories of fear, marginalization, and hopelessness.
I had shared in these pages my family’s reasons for choosing to leave Canada — Vancouver, specifically — to pursue opportunities in the U.S., and obviously hit a nerve with National Post readers
A Crack Beneath the Rug
Canada’s reputation for unfailing politeness is like that neighbor you trust completely, the one you’d invite over to watch the game and have a beer, and you’d feel confident they wouldn’t take off with your favorite beer stein.
That same neighbor might harbor a secret, even him, that he might have a crack beneath his basement. Unseen, that is, until it opens up. That crack doesn’t disrespect your hospitality; it simply IS.
OTTAWA – Ottawa’s Indo-Pacific strategy has yet to give Canada adequate visibility or distinguish it from the U.S. in the region, experts have told researchers commissioned by the federal government.
The Liberals launched the strategy in late 2022 to make Canada a partner of choice for some of the fastest-growing economies on the planet. In releasing the strategy, Ottawa acknowledged that it is perceived locally as having engaged only intermittently in the region over the decades.
More than two years later, a report commissioned by Global Affairs Canada says regional experts see Canada as “a strategic but secondary player aligned with U.S. geopolitical priorities” that is “often perceived as an extension of U.S. foreign policy rather than an independent global actor.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Between the Edmonton Oilers making their second consecutive Stanley Cup appearance, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s well-publicized links to the region, and Premier Danielle Smith’s regular appearances on Fox News, Alberta has been on America’s mind a lot this year.
This ought to go over well.
The Smithsonian Institution is one of America’s greatest assets.
When Americans visit the nation’s capital in Washington, D.C., they are able to witness their country’s vast array of art, culture, history, and research acumen all in one place, and for free, because of the museums and zoo the institution operates there.
Like the national parks, the Smithsonian is part of America’s cultural inheritance.
There is a new reality emerging in the parking lots of one of America’s biggest home improvement stores, highlighted by incidents big and small across Los Angeles.
Construction workers are still hauling lumber and nails, and DIY homeowners pushing carts of paint and soil. But all of a sudden, federal immigration agents may appear.
On Thursday, they moved on a Home Depot parking lot in Monrovia, sending laborers running, including a man who jumped a wall and onto the 210 Freeway, where he was fatally struck. A day prior, fear of a possible raid at a Ladera Ranch location sparked warnings across social media.
