What the civil war in Minneapolis is really about.
Why are at least two people dead and multiple federal law enforcement officers injured?
What broader principle are Democrats, liberals and leftists rioting over in Minneapolis?
USA
Even poor students of history can see what’s happening to the U.S.
In 1935, American author Sinclair Lewis published It Can’t Happen Here, a dystopian novel about the rise of a populist demagogue named Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, who becomes the U.S. president after cultivating a cult following for his nationalism, anti-elitism, and quixotic promises. Windrip was fixated on restoring domestic production of material goods and hated the press.
This is a lazy, silly little screed pumped out by one of Canada’s leading purveyors of TDS – the Globe.
Trump is always Hitler while the well orchestrated violence of the left is brushed aside as “democracy”.
The left’s insane rejoicing over Charlie Kirk’s murder, the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and the Liberal-Left’s normalized calls to violence are conveniently forgotten because Trump is Hitler don’t ya know.
After a never ending smear campaign it’s no wonder Trump hates the press.
Even poor students of history can see what’s happening to the press.

Steve Bannon has plans for Canada. We have to be on our guard
I regret to inform you that it is necessary to pay attention to Steve Bannon because he has plans for Canada and, unfortunately, he has repeatedly shown that he can make bad things happen.
Bannon will go down in history as the man who discovered the power of the “sh*tpost,” and who showed that an online army of incels and trolls could be a potent source of political power.
He has now turned his attention to Alberta, and if his plan succeeds, the Stars and Stripes will end up flying over our heads, as Trump desires.
The Star is hyperventilating again.
Illegal Aliens Kill Scores Of Americans For Every Leftist Who Dies Protecting Them
The left proclaimed outrage at the death of Renee Good, the anti-ICE agitator who was shot after she appeared to have struck a federal agent with the vehicle she was driving. The left did so again after the death of Alex Pretti.
Tom Homan Just Announced Major Action Against Anti-ICE Protesters in Minneapolis
Border czar Tom Homan announced on Tuesday that the government is creating a database of leftist anti-ICE protesters who impede the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts.
During an appearance on Fox News, Homan acknowledged that people have the right to protest the administration’s policies. “But when you cross the line…if you interfere, impede, or assault a police officer, you will be prosecuted,” he said. “One thing I’m pushing for right now…we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Canada Should Warm to Trump’s Arctic Plans
Donald Trump’s Arctic strategy has been 500 years in the making.
When Christopher Columbus set sail across the Atlantic in 1492, he intended to find a direct path from Europe to Asia.
He didn’t, of course — but the first transatlantic explorer to sail under an English flag, John Cabot, tried again a few years later and became the first modern explorer to reach what is now Canada.

Canada, California, and Chinese Electric Cars
Driving down an uncertain road.
On his recent trip to Beijing, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney praised the leadership of Xi Jinping and announced plans to bring 49,000 Chinese electric cars into Canada. In several ways that escaped notice, Carney was following in the footsteps of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
As David Frum notes, Trudeau “traveled to Josef Stalin’s Soviet Union to participate in regime-sponsored propaganda activities,” a reference to the Moscow Economic Conference in April, 1952. Stalin’s USSR came billed as a workers’ state based on the “scientific” principles of Marxism-Leninism, as opposed to the “bourgeois” nations with their market economies. The regime’s admirers assumed that the Communist regime’s products would be superior, but it didn’t turn out that way.
Why Are We Following Qatar’s Foreign Policy on Iran?
From Syria to Gaza to Iran, Qatar is hijacking the Trump administration.
Syria’s Al Qaeda regime is massacring Kurds to free imprisoned ISIS terrorists, state sponsors of Hamas in Turkey and Qatar are being named to boards running Gaza, and thousands of democracy protesters are being massacred in Iran while Al Jazeera defends the regime.
This isn’t American foreign policy, but it is Qatar’s foreign policy.
Canada’s icebreaker pact looked great until Trump started threatening the Arctic
U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to Greenland, and the claims of continental hegemony contained in the new U.S. national security strategy, have awoken Canadians to the threat to their own Arctic sovereignty.
But Canada is still assisting the Americans in developing the very technology that could enable them to one day seize control of all or part of Canada’s Arctic archipelago.
Canadian co-operation and design is central to the construction of a new fleet of ships that the U.S. intends to use to strengthen its presence in the regions surrounding the North Pole.
Barry Appleton: Canada faces the most serious trade threat in a generation — and Carney’s to blame
On Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Canada with 100 per cent tariffs on all goods if Prime Minister Mark Carney proceeds with his China trade deal. The president’s language was characteristically blunt: Canada would become a “drop off port” for Chinese goods, and “China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it.” This is the predictable consequence of Carney’s reckless foreign policy.
It is alleged Carney is an intelligent man so he had to understand the consequences of his comments.
Which leads me to believe he acted to ensure China and not the US is our partner.
Trump isn’t working for Canada but neither is Carney.
Carney a two-faced Liberal? Talking Big for the Elbow People?
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking to Fox News tonight, says Trump and Carney spoke today and claims Carney was “very aggressively walking back some of the unfortunate remarks he made at Davos.” pic.twitter.com/LjnurWXIWM

Europe can’t defend itself without the US, NATO’s Rutte warns
BRUSSELS — Europe is incapable of defending itself without America, NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Monday, speaking just days after Donald Trump’s repeated threats to seize Greenland pushed the alliance to the brink of collapse.
“If anyone thinks here … that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the U.S., keep on dreaming,” he told lawmakers on the European Parliament’s defense and foreign affairs committees. “You can’t.”
A “European pillar [of NATO] is a bit of an empty word,” Rutte said, arguing a European army would create “a lot of duplication” with the alliance. Moreover, Russian President Vladimir “Putin will love it,” he added.
Carney Says He Regrets ‘Not a Word’ of Davos Speech That Drew Trump Response
Prime Minister Mark Carney says he has no regrets about his speech at the World Economic Forum last week, which drew a sharp response from U.S. President Donald Trump and was followed by tariff threats tied to Ottawa’s push to deepen ties with Beijing.
When asked by reporters on Jan. 26 whether he regrets certain sections of his speech, or if he thinks he might have gone too far, Carney responded in French, “Not a word. Not at all.”
Why would he have regrets? He’s well insulated and never has to suffer the consequences of his own grifts.
And he’s got an election to win!
Update: Oops … Trump’s Team says Carney walked back many of his Davos comments. Carney denies it but then Carney’s memory is suspect.
China says Canada deal not aimed at U.S. after tariff threat
China said on Monday that a preliminary trade deal with Canada “does not target any third parties” after the United States threatened to impose 100-per cent tariffs on Canadian products if the agreement were finalised.
Under the deal, announced this month, Beijing is expected to reduce tariffs on Canadian canola imports and grant Canadians visa-free travel to China.
But over the weekend, the United States — Canada’s traditional ally — threatened to impose 100-per cent tariffs on Canadian products if the deal were to go ahead, saying it would allow China to “dump goods”.
I totally trust Xi!
How Soon They Forget
Without American sacrifice, would there be a free Europe?
When European leaders took the stage at the World Economic Forum this year, the language was familiar: partnership, shared values, transatlantic unity. What was conspicuously absent was memory. Not nostalgia, not sentiment—but memory. Because when it comes to America’s role in Europe’s survival, prosperity, and security, much of today’s European political class behaves as if history began yesterday.
Mark Carney brushes off insults and threats from Donald Trump: ‘I can handle it’
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney shrugged off Donald Trump’s dismissal of him as “governor” on Monday, casting the threat of 100 per cent tariffs against Canada as a negotiating tactic, and offering an impassioned rebuttal to the U.S. president’s insult of NATO troops in Afghanistan as slackers.
In his first full news conference in 10 days, Carney said in French that he did not regret “a word” of his Jan. 20 speech in Davos, which appeared to irritate Trump. The American president later scolded Canada from the same World Economic Forum stage for not being “grateful” and on the weekend threatened to slap 100 per cent tariffs on its goods if Canada does a “deal” with China.
