Mexico’s president says cancellation of oil shipment to Cuba is ‘sovereign’ decision

Mexico has cancelled a shipment of oil to Cuba, the country’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, appeared to confirm on Tuesday, but she insisted the decision was “sovereign” and not a response to pressure from the US.

Fuel shortages are causing increasingly severe blackouts in Cuba, and Mexico has been the island’s biggest oil supplier since the US blocked shipments from Venezuela last month.

On Monday, Bloomberg reported that Pemex, Mexico’s state oil company, had “backtracked” on plans to send a much-needed delivery to Cuba this month.

Carney’s Cardboard Belt

In his “rupture” speech delivered at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney lamented the (apparent) breakdown of the rules-based international order and praised a “new world order” to come. He repeated former Czech president Václav Havel’s admonition against “living in the lie.” The irony was obvious as he proceeded to articulate, as James Albers writes in the Western Standard, “an address saturated with contradictions, misdirection, and half-truths.” In effect, he transformed Havel’s anti-communist warning into what amounts to a pro-communist exhortation.

The US drew up a plan to invade Canada in 1930. Now Trump is reviving old fears

First, American forces would strike with poison gas munitions, seizing a strategically valuable port city. Soldiers would sever undersea cables, destroy bridges and rail lines to paralyze infrastructure. Major cities on the shores of lakes and rivers would be captured in order to blunt any civilian resistance.

The multipronged invasion would rely on ground forces, amphibious landing and then mass internments. According to the architects of the plan, the attack would be short-lived and the besieged country would fall within days.

The target was Canada, part of a classified 1930 strategy – War Plan Red – for a hypothetical war with Great Britain where the US would seek to deny it any foothold in North America.

‘Nothing to do with it’: Doug Ford responds to criticism over Ontario manufacturer’s contract with ICE

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has “nothing to do with” a contract held by a Brampton-based defence manufacturer to supply U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with armoured vehicles.

Ford made the comment during a news conference on Tuesday morning after he was asked about criticism of the deal between Roshel and the U.S. government.

His response came after NDP Leader Marit Stiles released a statement “calling for an end” to Ontario manufacturing contracts with ICE in the wake of the shooting of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota this month.

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.

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?

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.
