U.S. President Donald Trump has said he wants to make Canada the 51st state, threatening to use “economic force” to make that dream a reality.
He’s also signed an executive order to place blanket tariffs of 25 per cent on all Canadian imports that could start March 4.
One of the reasons experts believe Trump could be targeting Canada is its resources, including its critical minerals — and its water.
Canada’s Arctic will be a ‘tremendous vulnerability,’ Bannon says
At the America’s biggest annual Republican gathering, Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to Donald Trump, is hosting his War Room talk show from the sidelines of the Conservative Political Action Convention.
Dozens of people surrounded his CPAC set to watch his broadcast and to snap selfies with the man who helped first install Trump in the Oval Office in 2016.
His show included chats with supporters of Hungary’s ultranationalist leader Victor Orban and “J6ers,” whom he heralded as heroes for participating in the 2021 Capitol riots. When the 71-year-old got off stage, he heaped praise on the president’s machinations to annex Canada.
10 years of denigrating Canada and mass immigration from incompatible cultures and they expect us to rally round the flag.
The former leader of the far-right Proud Boys was arrested on Friday outside the US Capitol, police said.
Enrique Tarrio, who was pardoned by President Donald Trump for his role in the 6 January 2021 riot at the US Capitol, was arrested not long after holding a news conference on Friday.
Protesters attempted to drown out the event, held near the site of the riot, but Tarrio’s remarks to media went ahead as planned.
As people line up to try to cancel the Great One, the hockey legend has Grapes in his corner.
It’s kind of fitting the man voted in a CBC poll as the 7th greatest Canadian has the back of the person from that same poll who was voted the 10th greatest Canuck.
I blame the Liberal Party and their media.
US President Donald Trump has said French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer “haven’t done anything” to end the war in Ukraine, ahead of their visits to the White House next week.
Trump also said Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky had “no cards” in peace negotiations, adding: “I don’t think he’s very important to be in meetings.”
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the UK, France and other allies have been supplying Kyiv with weapons and other aid.
Donald Trump is following through on long-promised policies – our leaders are still unprepared
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. It’s one of the oldest pieces of homespun wisdom in the book, but rarely is it practised. History is littered with examples of failure to prepare. Instead, we are much more likely simply to hope for the best. Sometimes it works out; often it doesn’t.
Nobody can say they weren’t warned. Donald Trump has never made any secret of his sympathies for Vladimir Putin. Settling the war in Ukraine was one of his promises while campaigning to be US president, and he has long warned fellow members of Nato that they need to stop sponging off America and take better care of their own defences.
And yet the spectacle of Trump actually doing what he said he was going to do has still taken European leaders entirely by surprise. They’ve been caught with their trousers down, woefully unprepared for the extreme security challenges that Trump’s actions pose. Having shamelessly milked the post-Cold War “peace dividend”, they find themselves naked before the storm.
Donald Trump is firing back at Justin Trudeau after the Prime Minister celebrated Team Canada’s win over the U.S. at the 4 Nations Face-Off final.
Following Canada’s victory Thursday night, Trudeau — who Trump has repeatedly referred to as the “Governor of Canada” — bragged over the squad’s 3-2 overtime triumph over the USA.
“You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.
Elon Musk posted on his X social media platform on Wednesday, celebrating President Trump’s designation of numerous Mexican and other Latin American drug cartels as foreign terrorist organisations (FTOs). The designation, Musk said, meant that the cartels would be “eligible for drone strikes.”
Are you kidding me?
Tell me the pollster got it wrong.
Tell me the mathematics got all mixed up. Maybe they missed putting in a decimal point somewhere.
STRATFORD, NEW JERSEY — The closest Canadian stronghold to Donald Trump’s Trade-War-A-Lago is a bright, spacious fortress with plenty of free parking in the suburbs of Philadelphia, 230 kilometres northeast of the Oval Office. It is a command centre and commissariat where the True North is revered, the current American president is reviled, annexation will be strenuously resisted, and a Maple Dip costs US$1.81, tax included.
A bit ironic that the article features Tim Horton’s a foreign owned and long faded national icon known more for its substandard 3rd World service than as a symbol of “Canadiana”.
A billboard promoting Alberta to join the U.S.A. that recently popped up on Highway 2 north of Calgary has sparked some backlash, with many drivers wondering who’s behind the giant advertisement.
OTTAWA — Seventy per cent of Canadians are in favour of dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on the United States, a new poll suggests.
Nearly half of respondents to the Leger poll — 45 per cent — said they were strongly in favour of such tariffs, while 25 per cent said they were somewhat in favour.
U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to impose steep tariffs on imports from Canada and other countries.
Public Safety Minister David McGuinty says he has been given no assurances yet that Canada can avoid tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, despite the federal government’s latest measures to address border security and drug trafficking.
“I haven’t heard that personally, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop. We’re going to continue implementing,” McGuinty said in an interview with CTV’s Power Play on Thursday.
Earlier this month, Canada got reprieve for at least 30 days from Trump’s threat to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian imports — except energy products, which would be subject to a 10 per cent tariff — after making new commitments to secure the shared border. Those tariffs could come into effect as soon as March 4.
In a move likely to induce whiplash for some Canadians in the automotive sector in Southern Ontario, it is being reported that Stellantis is stopping all activity at the Brampton Assembly Plant, effective immediately. Talking heads at Automotive News say the parent company of brands like Ram and Jeep is taking a pause on plans for the facility, a space which was to have been used to produce the next-gen Jeep Compass.
The federal government is increasing the number of refugees it plans to resettle as a result of Sudan’s civil war, with changes that could see 7,000 more people reach Canada through various programs.
But Ottawa says it remains impossible for Quebecers to sponsor relatives from Sudan to resettle in that province.
Instead, Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Quebecers can now apply to resettle their relatives as long as they go to another province.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a shot at the US on Thursday night after his country’s hockey team defeated the Americans in the highly anticipated 4 Nations championship game.
“You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” the outgoing prime minister declared in a terse statement posted to X after Team Canada beat their North American neighbors 3-2 in overtime.
Despite Trudeau’s public assertion in keeping Canada a sovereign state, he seems to be less confident behind closed doors.
