WASHINGTON — When United States prosecutors moved last October to seize roughly 127,271 bitcoin — about $15 billion, the largest forfeiture in American history — the headlines fixed on the number. But The Bureau’s investigation into Chinese-run Cambodian scam compounds — operations that prey on Western citizens — finds something more explosive buried in hundreds of case records.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Thursday berated NATO alliance partners over their military spending and lack of initial support for the US war in Iran.
Addressing fellow defense ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Hegseth doubled down on US President Donald Trump’s threat to withdraw troops from Europe — where Washington stations them in order to aid in the defense of Europe, as well as to enable the more rapid projection of US military might abroad.
Hegseth said Washington would conduct a review to “examine America’s force posture and basing in Europe.”
An RCMP officer based in Quebec has been charged with uttering threats online toward U.S. President Donald Trump while he was deployed to oversee security operations at the G7 summit last year in Alberta.
According to the RCMP, the officer, 34-year-old Evenson Dumerlus of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., allegedly posted a video on his Snapchat account “in which he made threatening comments” toward the president.
The RCMP did not divulge the nature of the alleged threat due to the ongoing investigation.
Last week, Trump administration officials met with the German government to discuss Germany paying more for prescription drugs innovated and manufactured in America.
It’s about time.
Donald Trump has always hated that U.S. pharmaceutical companies charge Americans more than the big publicly funded healthcare systems in Europe.
The U.S. crackdown on drug trafficking on the border with Mexico has triggered an increase in criminal activity coming across the border from Canada, according to Markwayne Mullin, the U.S. secretary of homeland security.
Speaking to an audience in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday alongside Canada’s Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree, Mullin said law enforcement officials are seeing an increase in fentanyl trafficking from Canada, something he attributed to U.S. efforts against Mexican cartels at the southern border.
The Gripen fighter jet built by Sweden’s Saab has lost whatever open competition the Canadian military has held between it and the F-35. Despite this, the Carney government appears set to announce that it will buy the Gripen.
The leadership of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the leadership at the Department of National Defence, and Defence Minister David McGuinty all back proceeding with the planned purchase of 88 F-35 fighter jets.
A Texas parole supervisor has been fired for posting outrageous remarks about slain teen Austin Metcalf after he was stabbed to death by Karmelo Anthony at a track meet.
Donna Murray Robinson, 35, of Houston, took to Facebook during Anthony’s recent trial to rejoice that his victim was white.
‘It’s about time these fkng [sic] bigots feel the pain that they have inflicted on other groups of people since the beginning of time!’ she wrote from her now-deleted account.
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he had several informal discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump during the G7 summit in France, despite not having an official meeting.
Carney told reporters during the final day of the summit Wednesday that the president only had scheduled bilateral meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
While Macron is the only G7 leader Trump has met with at the G7 so far, he has held bilateral meetings with the leaders of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
Today, no one reasonably well-informed doubts that America faces serious perils. And notwithstanding President Trump’s strong foreign policy leadership, the greatest threats to our country still come from within, rather than from foreign adversaries.
Recent statistics indicate that violent crime has decreased from 2024 to 2025 by an estimated 9.3 percent, in categories such as murder, robbery, rape, aggravated assault, and property crime. These are conventional crime categories reported to police. However, “lawlessness” can mean different things to different people.
Less than thirty years ago, white students comprised 63% of public school students.
Now, that figure stands at 49.7%, rendering white public school kids a minority for the first time in American history, with that demographic’s share of the student body projected to continue to diminish over time.
Prime Minister Mark Carney may not have a bilateral meeting planned yet with U.S. President Donald Trump, but a hot microphone caught them talking about trade at the G7 leaders’ summit in Évian-les-Bains, France.
Carney can be seen on camera, leaning in to talk to Trump, who was sitting at the leaders’ table ahead of a working luncheon.
A microphone in the room faintly picks them up, apparently talking about Canada’s recent agreement with China to allow a small number of Chinese EVs into the Canadian market at a lower tariff rate.
The CBC is optimistic all our troubles are solved.
As the July 1 Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) trade pact renewal deadline looms, Canada’s negotiating strategy continues to defy logic.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney “confirmed” that the $6.4 billion Gordie Howe bridge would be opening at the end of this week — at long last. I took that as a sign of warming relations., As recently as February, President Donald Trump insisted that American politicians negotiated an insufficient share of the toll revenue, despite the fact that the project was 100 per cent financed by Canadian taxpayers.
Three years ago, during one of my first roadshows across the U.S., I met with senators, congressional representatives and policy advisers from both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill.
What struck me most was not the debate about coal.
It was the curiosity.

US President Donald Trump celebrated his 80th and America’s 250th birthday with an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event on the White House lawn.
Trump and thousands of other mixed martial arts fans watched on as American fighter Justin Gaethje beat Spanish-Georgian opponent Ilia Topuria to win the lightweight championship in the main event.
The fight night – the first ever professional sporting event held at the presidential residence – was delayed by an hour amid fears of thunderstorms.
🚨 LMAO! After winning his match on the White House lawn, UFC fighter Josh Hokit declares:

“Am I right America??!” 🤣💀 pic.twitter.com/umFw48P3V8

After 15 months of declines in Canadians travelling to the United States, new Statistics Canada data suggests the U.S. travel boycott is coming to an end.
