While Canada’s official goal in trade negotiations with the U.S is to remove all tariffs imposed on us by President Donald Trump, it’s now clear this is an aspirational target rather than a realistic one.
The realistic one is to negotiate a deal with Trump that Canadians can live with, given that the U.S. President, a self-described “tariff person,” is on a campaign to use them to demolish the existing global economic order in favour of the U.S.
Mamdani’s victory over Andrew Cuomo shows where the Democrat Party is headed. It’s up to populist Republicans to stop the country from going there, too.
The victory of Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, in New York City’s Democrat primary has conservatives searching for answers. Unfortunately, many are attributing it to college-brainwashed rich kids, dismissing the notion that hardworking people in an expensive city could find price controls and free public transit attractive.
More than 70 per cent of Canadians still pick a negative emotion such as anger to describe their feelings toward Americans, but the intensity of this ire has cooled even as a damaging trade war with the United States continues, a new poll shows.
There’s been a slight uptick in those saying their dominant emotion is instead disinterest or even optimism, the survey indicates.
More than 7 in 10 Canadians polled said pessimism or anger best describe their views toward Americans, an early July poll by Nanos Research for The Globe and Mail found.
Canadian musician Matthew Good cancels U.S. shows due to Trump administration
Canadian musician Matthew Good says he’s cancelling his U.S. tour dates because of President Donald Trump’s government.
The “Load Me Up” rocker is pointing to Canada’s cancellation of the digital services tax as a main factor in the decision.
I fully expect Trump to cave by supper time.
Even here, among the sparsely populated lakes and thickly forested hills of the Laurentians, it is hard for an American not to feel the anger and incredulity President Trump has stoked with his tariffs, talk of a 51st state and offhand insults.
Much of that may be lost on Americans buffeted by the ceaseless rush of crises and clashes generated by the president’s agenda. But up here, in what used to be the most friendly neighbor a country could possibly ask for, the rage is tangible.
A TDS suffering author from Quebec no less.
In recent days, nearly everyone has weighed in on supply management – especially after U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated his longstanding opposition to the policy.
In a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, he threatened to impose new tariffs of up to 35% by Aug. 1, reigniting old debates. In response, the media has scrambled to feature a range of voices, many of whom lack any real understanding of the policy’s complexities. Some of the most misleading statements have come from high-profile commentators and political figures who have never seriously studied the system
Can Americans trust their government? Recent evidence suggests that our institutions will lie to us. Consider that, just a few days ago, we learned that, contrary to 60 years of CIA denials, a CIA officer had been involved in psychological operations connected to Lee Harvey Oswald months before John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Those of us who remember the government’s decades-long cover-up of its involvement in the July 1996 TWA crash were not surprised.
Remember when the Liberals were adamant they would never give up their digital services tax (DST)?
They were all “elbows up.” They huffed they would never give in to the Trump White House.
On Friday, we learned that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is reportedly so fed up with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case that he is threatening to resign.
Friday evening, the White House found itself forced to address the clash.
It’s another curveball in the Canada-US trade war – a new missive by US Donald Trump threatening an unexpected 35% tariff on Canadian goods starting next month.
It came as the two countries engage in intense trade talks meant to produce a new deal in the coming days, and what the latest tariff threat means for these negotiations is unclear.
But Canada’s new prime minister, Mark Carney, is beginning to face questions over whether he is able to stand up to Trump and secure the fair deal for Canada he promised.
The broken glass had been swept away and, of the furious graffiti, only a faint pink stain remained on the walls outside the Starbucks — but the damage had been done.
Days earlier a mix of Mexicans and foreigners were sipping flat whites in this trendy Mexico City neighbourhood last Friday when an anti-gentrification protest descended on them.
The Starbucks customers hit the floor as a group of the protesters turned violent, throwing chairs, smashing windows and looting snacks to toss into the crowd, where people brandished signs reading “Expat = gentrifier” and “Gentrification is colonisation!”
Donald Trump has said he will impose 30 per cent tariffs on the European Union and Mexico from next month.
The US president said both levies would take effect on August 1 as he announced the move on letters posted to his Truth Social account.
In his letter to the European Union, Mr Trump said that the US trade deficit was a national security threat.
Iconic actress Michelle Pfeiffer has launched a shocking attack on billionaire Bill Gates and suggested he’s going to contaminate America’s food supply.
In an extraordinarily rare move for the low-key actress, Pfeiffer took to Instagram on Thursday to express concern over the FDA’s approval of Apeel, a Gates-backed food coating meant to extend the shelf life of produce.
‘Apeel (an edible, plant-based coating designed to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables) was just approved and now “organic” produce is coated in something we cannot see or wash off,’ Pfeiffer wrote.
The Trump administration is being sent early warnings of the priorities of its possible “partner,” Qatar, for the future of the Gaza Strip.
“His Excellency” Mohammed al-Rumaihi, Qatar’s former ambassador to the United States, and former Minister of Municipality and Environment, noted on July 5 that he is concerned about “keep[ing] the Palestinian cause alive – and its people,” and slammed Israel:
“No major capital—neither Beijing, nor Moscow, nor Washington—has labelled the Gaza campaign as ‘systematic killing,’ let alone moved to punish Israel under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.”
You are not left to guess which side of the conflict he is on.
The left-wing media’s hysteria revolving around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s arrests and deportations nationwide had cranked up to the next level. On Thursday’s edition of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, co-host of MSNBC’s The Weekend Symone Sanders-Townsend claimed people will see “racial profiling” as ICE continued to uphold the law. Meanwhile, another claimed ICE was “kidnapping” people.
Co-anchor Jonathan Lemire framed the segment around fear of “high profile clashes” in “Democratic controlled cities” in the country, where ICE was focusing their efforts.
