How long can a nation endure the presence within it of people who hate it and everything it stands for? It looks as if we’re going to find out.
Why did our “elites” think Islam, a violent supremacist murder cult, would be be a good fit in Canada?

Transgender Canadian singer Bells Larsen canceled U.S. tour dates over visa rules stipulating travelers need to have their actual sex listed on their documentation.
Wait till he/she/it/whatever finds out about Britain’s Supreme Court Ruling on transgender nonsense.

China’s trade war bluff may backfire as the U.S. pushes allies to choose between a rogue economic actor and a flawed but fairer partner with unmatched global power.
No one wants a “trade war” with China, or for that matter with any nation. Nonetheless, China has been waging one for years and is now locked in a tariff recalibration with the Trump administration.
In this American effort to find trade parity and equity, China can do some short-term damage to the U.S., especially in terms of ceasing exports of some pharmaceuticals, phones, and computers. But ultimately, it cannot win—and will eventually lose catastrophically. It will likely accept that reality sooner rather than later.
We are only in the first week of the escalating rhetoric and tariffs. But already China is appealing to its Asian rivals, Australia, and the EU to join in fighting the supposed American bully.
President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian imports triggered the usual response from Ottawa. First under Justin Trudeau and now under his successor, Mark Carney, Canada’s political class didn’t just protest—they retaliated, slapping on symbolic countermeasures and accusing the United States of economic aggression.
Outrage as policy—the Canadian default setting when Washington asserts leverage. But beneath the indignation lies a more straightforward truth: Canada had it coming.
Carney’s “Outrage” is China’s instruction.

Beijing has accused the US of trying to ‘take away Hong Kong’s life’ in a fiery attack that criticised Donald Trump’s tariffs and JD Vance’s shocking ‘peasants’ slur.
Xia Baolong, a top Chinese official who oversees Hong Kong affairs, branded the US tariffs as ‘extremely shameless’ today as he warned that bullying has never worked on Chinese people – including those from Hong Kong.
‘Let those peasants in the United States wail in front of the 5,000 years of Chinese civilisation,’ Xia, the director of China’s Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office under the State Council, said in a televised speech today.

Chicago announced they’re not doing Cinco de Mayo this year. The parade has been canceled for the most obvious reason: ICE likely would’ve had a detention buffet. I’m not kidding. The city decided to close shop on the celebration to avoid their illegals being arrested and deported. It shows that state officials who declare they won’t help ICE is just empty talk—these are federal operations. Federal immigration officers can still arrest and detain illegals, and they’re doing it…

China’s multidimensional war against US interests is already underway and well-documented. One underappreciated dimension of its attack on American primacy, however, is the arena of cybersecurity.
For decades, Communist China’s spies, hackers and businessmen have feasted on the forced transfer of technology from vulnerable US corporate enterprises drawn to the vast Chinese market. Little has been accomplished to reduce this massive theft of intellectual property. US businesses seem to have resigned themselves to such unfair practices as the price of doing business in China.
Nonsense, the Liberal gov’t has made a determined effort to undermine Canada’s identity these past ten years. Mass immigration from incompatible cultures, labeling our nation a Genocide state, selling us out to China etc. Canada’s enemy comes from within not from Trump. https://t.co/qIp1Y51Klo

The U.S. is declaring war on Canada’s very identity
This explains such a stupid column: Samira Mohyeddin is a Toronto-based journalist and the 2024-2025 inaugural journalism fellow at the University of Toronto’s Women and Gender Studies Institute.

It’s worth reminding readers of the reasons the man being described as the innocent “Maryland father” was “mistakenly” deported from Los Estados Unidos.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is now cooling his heels in the most famous El Salvadoran prison in the world. He’s gotten more love from America’s left than, say, the 14-year-old girl MS-13 hacked up with machetes in 2019 in Maryland. It’s strange, isn’t it? Ariana Funes-Diaz was hacked with a machete and hit with a baseball bat, and her lifeless and bloodied body was left in a ditch, but nobody seems to remember or care.

United Auto Workers (UAW) President Shawn Fain engaged in an 11-minute verbal battle with MSNBC hosts Alicia Menendez, Symone Sanders-Townsend and Michael Steele on Sunday over tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.

You’d have to squint till your eyeballs ache, but there is a foreseeable scenario where Canada and the U.S. build a closer relationship out of this ugly moment.
This outcome is far from certain — hence the squinting.
But one influential figure in Washington professes to see it. Donald Trump’s first-term trade czar predicted the optimistic scenario last week in Ottawa, speaking behind closed doors.

The small boat whipped up spray as it swerved to avoid the pursuing US coastguard vessel.
Crashing over the choppy waters of the San Diego bay, it raced up the harbour, weaving and feinting, columns of smoke bursting upwards on its starboard side when a concussion grenade was hurled on board.
The ending, when it came, was sudden.
In this federal election, it’s important for Canadians to remember that geography is destiny. Like it or not, Canada is tethered to the United States, and the next prime minister will have to sit down and cut a deal with the protectionist and erratic U.S. President Donald Trump.
Unfortunately, Liberal Leader Mark Carney fails to fully grasp the situation. Despite agreeing to negotiate with Trump after the election, he pronounced the old U.S.-Canada relationship “over,” and made state visits to London and Paris in the apparent belief that the 27 squabbling members of the European Union can replace America as Canada’s economic partner.
China is the enemy the US hopes to defeat.
Given that Carney, the LPC and the China class have chosen to side with the ChiComs I doubt that Trump will offer favourable terms.

We have heard it time and again: America is a nation of immigrants. We pride ourselves on the fact that millions of people from all over the world have seen America, as Ronald Reagan said, as the “shining city on a hill,” the place where they could find a better life for themselves and their families. But something is happening. The immigrants of the last century came to America because they wanted to assimilate into American culture. They wanted to become Americans. Now, there is no such intention. And in one case, isolation, not assimilation, appears to be the goal.
UPDATE: Honda not considering moving auto production out of Canada says Ford, feds (I’m not believing this)

Honda is considering shifting some Canadian automotive production to the U.S. in response to new tariffs, according to a report by Japan’s Nikkei financial newspaper.
The company is looking to shift enough Canadian CR-V and Civic production to the U.S. so that it can meet 90 per cent of U.S. sales with vehicles produced there, up from its current level of about 70 per cent, the report said.
The U.S. imposed 25 per cent tariffs on all imported vehicles in early April, including ones produced in Canada despite the free trade deal, significantly raising costs for all importers.
Are Carney’s and the Liberal Party’s ties to China going to kibosh any hope of good deal?
