The mayor of Canada’s largest city and economic capital says she supports removing American flags “wherever possible.”
The office of Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow told Global News in a statement Wednesday that Chow is OK with the measure, which some municipalities in Ontario are starting to adopt.
“We are proudly Canadian and will never be the 51st state,” her office said.
Move over Mahmoud Khalil, the open borders crowd is about to have a much bigger martyr.
One of the most obvious signs that we were living in a system where immigration law could be openly flouted was the growing number of illegal aliens who would attend rallies, become professional activists and boast of their illegal status knowing that absolutely nothing would happen to them. This phenomenon really took off under Obama and in some parts of the country simply became the new normal. Illegals were untouchable.
As we ready ourselves for a truly consequential election, most pundits are predicting that the ballot question will be about who is best able to negotiate with U.S. President Donald Trump. In reality, our trading system is changing so radically that the real question is: who can best adapt to change? I’d argue it’s Pierre Poilievre and the Conservative party.
Poilievre and the Conservative party have demonstrated that they get it. Putting Canadian interests first by building pipelines, quickly developing mines, cutting taxes, investing in skilled trades, equipping and recruiting for our Armed Forces, breaking down internal trade barriers and diversifying our international trade are all policies that the Conservatives have been talking about consistently since the Harper years.
Islamic conversion rates are on the rise in American prisons and the West should be concerned.
A quiet yet seismic shift is occurring in America’s prison cells. Fewer inmates are reading the Bible behind bars, while more are reading the Quran.
That’s right.
Islam is quickly becoming the dominant faith in America’s prison system. According to a recent CBS report, tens of thousands of inmates convert to Islam each year. In some prisons, Muslim prisoners make up as much as 20 percent of the population. The conversion rate is astonishing. It goes beyond a mere religious choice.
It represents a complete transformation of identity, loyalty, and ideology.
Which country—Canada or the United States—has the most crime?
Most Canadians would likely say the U.S. by a wide margin. But as noted in my new study published by the Fraser Institute, while overall crime rates in Canada are below rates in the U.S., when you look at individual cities it’s a different story.
During a portion of an interview aired on Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” President Donald Trump responded to Canada’s Liberal Party appearing to gain ground electorally by saying that “I think it’s easier to deal, actually, with a Liberal. And maybe they’re going to win, but I don’t really care. It doesn’t matter to me at all.” And Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre “said negative things. So, when he says negative things, I couldn’t care less.”
In 2014, a few years after the birth of her second child, Jenny left China to flee an abusive relationship and government persecution for violating the one-child policy. She brought her younger daughter to San Francisco and, though undocumented, found work at a childcare facility and eventually married a US citizen.
Because of extended delays in visa processing, her green card application remains in limbo after three years, but she’s never been particularly afraid of her immigration status. That is until Donald Trump won re-election last November, fueled in part by a promise to conduct the largest mass deportation program in US history.
Jenny – the Guardian is using an alias to protect her identity – said she had been afraid to go to work, buy groceries or even meet her friends outside. Her husband, she said, urged her not to leave the house unless absolutely necessary until her visa is approved. Many other Chinese immigrants in her community share her fears, she said.
U.S. President Donald Trump may be having a cow over Canadian dairy, but it’s not the first time the U.S. government has complained about the industry’s protectionist policies.
In 2018, during his first term as president, the dairy industry was a target for an angry Trump, who railed against Canada for not allowing foreign competition in.
And he’s not far wrong, according to industry experts.
Across western democracies, upheavals in the US are prompting a startling realignment of ideas and of parties (Except post-national Canada)
One of the fascinating aspects of the French Revolution, as one convulsion after another swept France in the 1790s, was that it transformed the politics of other countries too.
Like the US today, France was, until then, seen as both the most powerful of all nations and the great upholder of the established order. The dramatic overturning of that order created admirers and enemies all over Europe with a profound effect on politics for generations: in Britain it broke the Whig party, led to Edmund Burke’s defining of conservatism and spurred the industrial and military prowess with which an enormous empire would be governed. Its effect on ideas — such as the whole concept of left and right wings in politics — endures today.

The new trove of top secret files released on the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy left experts trawling for new clues and Donald Trump’s own staff scrambling.
The release early Tuesday evening included 2,182 PDF documents totaling 63,400 pages on the National Archives website more than 60 years after the president was shot and killed in Dallas.
It included typewritten reports and handwritten notes spanning decades, including details of a top CIA agent who claimed the deep state was responsible, Lee Harvey Oswald being a ‘poor shot’ and that Secret Service had been warned Kennedy would be killed in August, three months before the murder.
After vowing to stop visiting Canada while Justin Trudeau was still in charge, Joe Rogan is weighing in on new Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump’s repeated assertions that Canada should become the 51st state.
Joe Rogan calls out Mark Carney for being an illegitimate unelected Prime Minister
"They have a new guy who is just as bad as Trudeau"
"150 people voted and now they have a new Government"

The line fell silent.
In a phone call from the Oval Office, President Trump had just delivered unwelcome news to three of America’s most powerful auto executives: Mary Barra of General Motors, John Elkann of Stellantis and Jim Farley of Ford.
Everyone needs to buckle up, Mr. Trump said on the call, which took place in early March. Tariffs are going into effect on April 2. It’s time for everyone to get on board.
I’d kiss that Stellantis battery plant goodbye as well as Volkswagen’s.
Fewer than 60 days into his second term, President Donald Trump is determined to expand U.S. dominance across the Americas. His targets are not limited to Canada and Mexico. And while Trump 2.0 is already bending some countries to his will, his presidency also risks triggering dangerous escalation while alienating allies, empowering rivals and unravelling decades of hemispheric stability.
The President envisions a zero-sum world divided between the strong and the weak. He channels the Athenian historian and general Thucydides’s maxim that the “strong will do what they will, and the weak suffer what they must.” In seeking to operate free of institutional constraints and without regard for partners, he is upending the post-Second World War order founded on positive sum rules, trade and alliances.
On the surface, it seems like a surprising split for two powerful unions with decades of shared history and interests.
The United Auto Workers, or UAW, representing thousands of American auto workers, has thrown itself behind U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs against Canada and Mexico.
“We are glad to see an American president take aggressive action on ending the free trade disaster that has dropped like a bomb on the working class,” the union said recently.
We had better get used to this.
If the situation were reversed we would expect Ottawa to re-shore jobs just as Trump is doing.
But we don’t live in a normal country. Trump holds his fellow citizens in high regard while our government hates us.
The Liberal Party and their corporate cronies flooded Canada with cheap foreign labour creating a housing and public services crisis while destroying the home ownership dreams of a generation.
The Liberal Party imposed a Stalinesque Net Zero tyranny taxing us to death to change the weather.
The Liberal Party is attempting to normalize the sexual mutilation of children and you can bet Carney is down with that.
The Liberal Party has never let us forget they regard Canada as a genocidal settler state and you as an unwelcome resident.
The people who most fear Trump are the Carney’s of the world.
These ersatz patriots shipped your jobs to China and Mexico and in return you get to enjoy 3rd world customer service at Tim’s.
The Globalists have gotten used to feeding on the working class of both Canada and the United States.
Trump is going to end that ordeal for America. Carney will try to keep you a slave to his Globalist vision.
Ireland’s taoiseach has denounced anti-immigration comments made by Conor McGregor as the MMA fighter visited the White House before a St Patrick’s Day meeting with Donald Trump.
McGregor said “Ireland is on the cusp of losing its Irishness” and that an “illegal immigration racket” was “running ravage on the country”.
Last week, Donald Trump singled out “Conor” – who last year was found liable for sexual assault after a civil trial – as one of his favourite Irish people.
