The Democratic governor of Michigan is looking to permanently shut down a key piece of Canadian energy infrastructure.
Enbridge’s Line 5, currently shut down after a workplace accident on Aug. 25, is facing a new push for permanent closure.
USA
Canada can’t wait for America to return to normal — this is the new normal
Back in 2017, I had been chatting with Financial Times columnist Edward Luce and he made an observation: Many people viewed U.S. President Donald Trump’s election as a temporary aberration, one that would end once he left office. Nearly a decade later, Canada is still grappling with the opposite reality, yet the perception that things are temporary persists.
The trade war is often discussed as a dispute to be negotiated away, measured in tariffs, retaliation and timelines. That framing misses the larger lesson.
Since 9/11, the Number of Immigrants to US from the Muslim World Has Grown by 1.8 Million
As the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks approaches, some may wonder if increased vetting or possible distrust of Muslims in the United States caused fewer people from the Islamic world to immigrate here. An analysis of Census Bureau data shows that the immigrant population (also called the foreign-born) from predominantly Muslim countries has more than doubled since 2001.1 Not all immigrants from these countries are Muslims. (The Census Bureau does not ask about religion.) Nevertheless, the data indicate that the U.S. did not fundamentally change immigration policy after September 11th, nor does the desire of many people in the Muslim world to settle here seem to have changed much. As a result, the number of immigrants from these countries has soared.
A Canadian town’s famous warm welcome doesn’t extend to US ambassador on 9/11 anniversary
On 9/11, the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, welcomed thousands of stranded Americans whose flights were redirected after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon.
Twenty-five years later, residents of that very same Atlantic coast community are less enthusiastic about hosting the US ambassador to Canada for commemoration ceremonies on Friday.
Some are even demanding that his invite be rescinded.
Trump makes case for Iran war, promises $5,000 payouts if GOP wins midterms
President Donald Trump used the Republican Party’s first midterm convention to justify the Iran war rather than trying to put it behind him, as escalating violence and spiking oil prices loomed over the elaborate Trump-centered showcase in Dallas.
In a speech billed as an opening argument for the peak campaign season, he defended his record and encouraged supporters to vote as if he were on the ballot. He also debuted a new enticement, promising to reward Republican congressional majorities by giving every American a $5,000 dividend to spend within the country.
Lack of Muslim assimilation in America: Perception or reality?
The questions about the assimilation of Muslim communities in this country are becoming more, not less, controversial over time. Some people insist that Muslims are blending much better into our communities than in the past; other people feel certain that there will always be a division between our mainstream culture and the many cultures of Islam.
Who is to be believed, and how critical are the conclusions we draw?
For 9/11, Trump Should Make It Clear, Islam Is Not a ‘Religion of Peace’
As the 25th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11 approach, video of George W. Bush claiming tremulously that Islam is a religion of peace is once again making the rounds on social media.
RCMP Told U.S. Agencies Falkland Was “Not an Open Discussion.” A Year Later, No One Has Been Charged With Running the Superlab
VANCOUVER — In June 2025, eight months after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced it had dismantled the largest fentanyl and methamphetamine laboratory in Canadian history, the force invited American agencies to its British Columbia headquarters in Surrey for what the Americans had hoped would be a working session.
Some Progressive Americans Are ‘Chinamaxxing’
Some Americans are now “Chinamaxxing.”
According to Mary Julia Koch, an associate editor of the Wall Street Journal’s Free Expression page, progressive Americans are “fangirling” over high-tech Chinese cities, their public infrastructure, public transit, their cultural practices, and how quickly the Chinese Communist Party is able to build them.
Well, Huh – Lots of ‘Thanks, Boomers’ in Canadian Carney-Val Comments
The petite Canadian Prime Minister and global banker ordinaire is back on his nation’s airwaves, in what might be interpreted as the Syrupean ‘Je vous salue Marie’ version of our political Hail Mary. Only the little fellow has thought to use a little literary license and weave in some…uh…oh, let’s be kind about this and call them ‘revised’ origin stories about Canada’s founding to heighten the dramatic effect.
OMISSION: Networks SILENT on Canada-China Military Talks
The Elitist Media evening news continue their mission on trade, acting as spokespeople for the Canadian prime minister instead of reporting the full scope of US-Canada relations that led to the breakdown at the negotiating table. Over the weekend and through today, an alarming omission emerges.
Ilhan Omar cleared of wrongdoing after overstating assets by millions
A nonpartisan entity charged with reviewing misconduct allegations has cleared Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) of wrongdoing in connection with documents she submitted to Congress that dramatically overstated her wealth.
The Office of Congressional Conduct, which reviews allegations concerning House members and staff, made the determination after opening an investigation into Omar earlier this year. The findings, marked confidential, were viewed by The Wall Street Journal.
Smithsonian Leader Behind Leftward Degradation Resigns
Lonnie Bunch, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution who led its leftward degradation, resigned Tuesday after years of overseeing the advancement of anti-American propaganda at the nation’s premier art, culture, and history establishment.
Bunch, who took over as secretary in 2019 but has been at the Smithsonian for almost 38 years, founded the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture prior to becoming secretary. Under his leadership, the Smithsonian added to its insidious track record of partitioning its museums along racial and gender ideology lines. He plans to leave the Smithsonian by the end of the year, according to the resignation announcement.
Military sees 75% decline in drones at US-Mexico border since laser rollout
U.S. military officials have seen a 75% decline in Mexican drone sightings at the U.S.-Mexico border in the two weeks since debuting a high-energy laser weapon system to disable the small unmanned aerial systems, according to a new report.
Military stationed at the border in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas used a new type of technology on Aug. 25 and 26 to take down three suspicious drones in U.S. airspace, likely operated by the cartels on the south side of the international border.
Racist Muslim Journalist Was Just Imitating Muhammad
Rula Jubreal, the far-left, venomously anti-Israel “journalist” and former MSNBC commentator, kicked up a controversy when she referred to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Socialism) as an “AIPAC monkey” and an “errand boy” for not breaking with the decaying Democrat Party establishment over its support for Israel, even though that support is weakening by the day.
