Canada must stand with Europe in its defence of Greenland if we know what’s good for us

NATO is facing one of its gravest internal crises since its founding, and Canada is facing its own moment of truth.

President Donald Trump’s demand that Denmark hand over Greenland to the United States goes far beyond his late-night posts on Truth Social. It is a deadly serious attempt by the alliance’s dominant power to carve up the territory of a fellow NATO member.

This is not the first time NATO has been shaken by internal division. But unlike past crises, this one strikes at the very rule that has underpinned Western security for 80 years: that borders are not revised by coercion.

I’m just not buying the elite narrative that I should defend their right to abuse us as serfs just because they’ve wrapped themselves in the flag.

I won’t be signing up to fight for open borders, depressed wages, unaffordable everything and precarious access to medical care even if they throw in a shitty ChiCom EV.

Why Trump will beat divided Europe and weak Britain over Greenland

Britain and Europe appear hopelessly weak in the face of Donald Trump’s threats over Greenland.

European efforts to calm the mercurial US president’s desire for the Arctic island with a joint military mission to the region have backfired.

Mr Trump is now warning that he will hit the UK and its European allies with tariffs unless Denmark sells him Greenland.

John Ivison: MAGA has its sights on Alberta

Steve Bannon is in the ratings business these days, so he can say outrageous things with impunity.

On his influential War Room podcast last week, he talked about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s “kowtowing” visit to China and said: “Let me be blunt, you are playing with fire. You will rue the day you did that. President (Donald) Trump is not just going to let the Chinese Communist Party become an active strategic partner up there. It’s not going to happen.”

Ivison is an Elbow person pass it on.

Canada was a good country.

Now it’s just an ATM for an elite that  seeks to criminalize citizens for simply being.

Trump leaks texts, threatens Macron and trashes Starmer

Donald Trump has published private messages from European leaders after threatening to impose new tariffs on several EU countries over his demand to purchase Greenland.

In one, Emmanuel Macron pleaded with the US president to scale back his threats against the Danish territory and offered him a dinner in Paris.

Trump Shares Map of US Including Greenland, Canada, Venezuela

President Donald Trump has shared an image, seemingly AI-edited, that shows him sitting alongside a map of the U.S. that includes Greenland, Canada and Venezuela as he speaks with European leaders.

The picture, which Trump posted on Truth Social, appears to be an edited version of a photograph taken when leaders—including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen—went to Washington, D.C., in August 2025.

Trump says he will ‘100%’ carry out Greenland tariffs threat, as EU vows to protect its interests

Donald Trump has vowed to “100%” follow through on his threat to impose tariffs on European countries who oppose his demand to take control of Greenland.

European allies have rallied around Greenland’s sovereignty. Denmark’s foreign minister emphasised the US president cannot threaten his way to ownership of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.

UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper reiterated the UK’s position that the future of Greenland is for “Greenlanders and for the Danes alone” to decide.

Lefty Yale Professor Who Fled U.S. Over Trump Now Scolds Canadians

Jason Stanley Left Wing Lunatic

Leftist American former Yale professor Jason Stanley is revered in the bowels of leftist academia. He once felt protected at Yale, until Trump retaliated against the Marxist takeover of campuses. Now he’s escaped to Canada to his safe space at the University of Toronto, where he’s on a roll. “Yale professor who fled US because of Trump is now scolding Canadians who still want to visit or move to America,” by Alexa Cimino, Daily Mail, January 14, 2026…

It is time to invoke the NATO Treaty’s Article 4

In the current geopolitical environment, and particularly in the wake of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, we have seen frequent references to NATO’s Article 5: the “one for all and all for one” obligation of allies to assist one another in the face of attack.

Less attention is paid to the article of the North Atlantic Treaty that immediately precedes it. Article 4 stipulates that “The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.” Once Article 4 is invoked, it would prompt a meeting of the North Atlantic Council (NATO’s permanent ambassador-level body) to consider and respond to this threat. This provision for collective consultations has rarely been invoked, but last September, both Poland and Estonia on separate occasions triggered an Article 4 meeting in light of hostile Russian actions.

‘Europe won’t be blackmailed,’ Danish PM says in wake of Trump Greenland threats

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen says “Europe won’t be blackmailed”, as she and other European leaders continue to weigh their response to US President Donald Trump’s tariff threats over Greenland.

Trump says he will impose new taxes on eight US allies – Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK – in February if they oppose his proposed takeover of the autonomous Danish territory.

He insists Greenland is critical for US security and has not ruled out taking it by force – a move that has drawn widespread criticism.

Western alliance hangs in balance as Europe stiffens itself against Trump’s threats

Greenland, with a population of fewer than 57,000, might not seem to be the territory on which the future of the relationship between Europe and the US, the viability of Nato as the world’s most successful defence alliance, or even the fractured relations between the UK and Europe would be determined.

But battlefields are sometimes the product of chance, rather than choice. It now feels as if Donald Trump’s threat to impose 10% tariffs on eight fellow Nato states for sending troops last week to support Greenland’s sovereignty may be one of those clarifying moments in which Europe had no option. Successive European leaders condemned Trump’s blackmail and intimidation on Sunday and they sounded as if they meant it.

US Lawmakers Warn Canada Against Allowing ‘Beijing a Foothold in the North American Auto Market’

The U.S. House Select Committee on China is warning Canada that it should reconsider opening its auto industry to Beijing and risking thousands of jobs, ahead of the upcoming renewal negotiations for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

By opening its market to Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), Canada risks distorting its auto industry by giving “Beijing a foothold in the North American auto market, threatening thousands of jobs and undermining a century of integrated automotive leadership,” the committee said in a Jan. 16 post on X.

“China’s state-subsidized overcapacity has already distorted Europe’s auto industry, and North America will be next if this precedent stands,” the committee said.

Global disruption looms large over biggest-ever Davos

Competing interests same goal any way you slice it.

Apart from the snow and the temperature, Greenland does not have much in common with the Swiss alps. But the fight for the future of the island looms over the gathering of world leaders and businesses at the World Economic Forum (WEF) this week.

Indeed, the timing of Donald Trump’s extraordinary threat seems likely to have had this meeting in mind.

Trump loves Davos – which is beyond strange given the views of his base.

In a post shared on X, Sortor said the woman was part of a group that followed him and his crew around the Twin City all day — until one of them boldly snatched his camera out of his hand while he was driving down the street.

Michael Taube: Canada shouldn’t increase trade with China until years of confrontation have been resolved

Canada and China have had a difficult relationship for years. Many Canadians have a real lack of faith and trust when it comes to China’s role as an honest broker and reliable trade partner — and understandably so.

Prime Minister Mark Carney clearly felt differently. The still-very-green prime minister somehow believes he’s identified the key to dealing with the Chinese Communists on a level playing field: give them everything they want, and more.
