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.

Trump’s Greenland gambit exposes Canada’s Arctic vulnerability

OTTAWA — Just when Canada thought it was getting its military house in order by finally meeting NATO spending targets, President Donald Trump’s designs on Greenland have exposed the vulnerability of the vast, underpopulated and undergunned Canadian Arctic.

Trump’s Greenland threats have turned the Arctic from a distant, long-term concern into an urgent strategic test for Canada, exposing how a region long treated as remote is now entangled in disputes over shipping routes, sovereignty and alliance politics.

Successive Canadian governments have long understood that melting polar ice has left the Arctic more accessible — and more vulnerable to Russian and Chinese interest — but have done little to counter threats traditionally seen as unlikely.

The increasingly awkward case of Canada’s demilitarized Arctic

At last week’s World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that his weeks of threats to annex Greenland had yielded fruit.

“We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Jan. 21. “This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations.”

Time is on Trump’s side in Minneapolis

Wait them out. As Saul Alinsky said, a tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.

On Saturday, the national media had a nervous breakdown over a border patrol agent shooting and killing a domestic terrorist who brought a gun and dozens of rounds of ammo to a “mostly peaceful protest.”

The New York Times best articulated the media spin: “An ICU nurse shot by federal agents was an American citizen with no criminal record, the city police chief said. A New York Times video analysis shows he was holding a phone, not a gun.”

NORAD pact would change if Canada pulls back from F-35 order, warns U.S. ambassador

U.S. President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada is warning of consequences to the continental defence pact if Canada does not move forward with the purchase of 88 F-35 fighter jets.

“NORAD would have to be altered,” U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra told CBC News in an exclusive interview at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.

He says the United States would likely need to purchase more of the advanced fighter aircraft for its own air force, and would fly them more often into Canadian airspace to address threats approaching the U.S.

I think Canada will come to resemble the Albania of the Soviet era.

Is Canada on Trump’s Hit List? Let’s Do the Math

U.S. President Donald Trump’s capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his declaration that the United States will now “run” Venezuela are deeply concerning on a number of levels: political, legal and moral.

But we should not forget, either, about the environmental cost of Trump’s plan to ramp up production of Venezuelan oil. Nor should we ignore what Trump’s growing hunger for other countries’ natural resources might mean for Canada in the coming years.

I think it will be a relatively painless and selective annexation if it happens.

The Anti-ICE Signal Chat in Minneapolis Has Reportedly Been Infiltrated…and *That* Name Looks Familiar

Joe wrote about the shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. It was another incident where Democrats screamed bloody murder, the liberal media repeated the same line, and social media was aflame. We don’t know if this was murder or not. We need an investigation, and the state of Minnesota must start cooperating with federal immigration authorities unless they want to create more situations where people get killed. Pretti was armed with a handgun during the kerfuffle that led to him being shot.

Arctic security expert says the world needs to look at Greenland from America’s point of view

Donald Trump says he has a deal in the works for Greenland. And with that revelation, the U.S. president backed off on a threat to hike tariffs on European countries standing in his way.

Proclaiming America’s post-1945 grand bargain is over, Trump insists there’s a price for safety and security in the world — stay tuned.

CAF Makes The Arctic Safe For Sexual Mutilation Fetishists – Watch Out Trump

After the Cold War, Canadians lived under the comfortable delusion that security was a service to be provided by someone else. We treated national defence like a subscription — one we underpaid for, assuming the United States would provide the muscle and our geography the shield.

That era has ended. With U.S. President Donald Trump determined to acquire Greenland, and with talk of Canada’s own annexation becoming dangerously mainstream, we are no longer just a neighbour; we are a target. We are in the midst of a geopolitical crisis, and according to our military’s assessment, we are uniquely vulnerable. This will become especially true when we contribute troops to NATO exercises in Greenland, as we must do.

China’s envoy says Beijing, Ottawa ‘eye to eye’ on supporting Greenland

OTTAWA — China’s envoy to Canada says the two countries “see eye to eye” on the need to support Greenland’s territorial integrity and Beijing wants to play a productive role in the North — even as analysts warn Moscow and Beijing are working together in the region.

“China’s consistent policy is to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. That goes to Greenland, that goes to Canada, and that goes through all the other countries,” Chinese Ambassador Wang Di said through an interpreter this week.

CBC – Deporting illegal alien criminals is just like Nazi Germany!

ICE nodding to far-right extremists in recruitment posts, experts say

At first glance, there may not appear to be anything unusual about the social media posts that are part of the ongoing recruitment drive by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The posts, which encourage Americans to join ICE, use the same aggressively patriotic imagery that’s become a hallmark of the Trump administration’s online communications.

But to observers of the far-right, and to members of the far-right themselves, there is something else that is recognizable in the language of the posts.

“I would describe it as oddly very familiar as someone who has been looking at the white nationalist and neo-Nazi movement for nearly a decade now,” said Hannah Gais, a senior research analyst with the Southern Poverty Law Centre, a non-profit that monitors right-wing extremism.

Any article that cites the extreme left wing hate group Southern Poverty Law Center immediately loses all credibility.

The article is the usual CBC bilge. Patriotism is open borders and criminal illegal aliens running amuck according to the CBC. Deportations are worse than Hitler!

Islamist and ChiCom assets are literally members of our governing party but the CBC is hysterical over a virtually non-existent Nazi threat.

Are they hoping we’ll ignore the well financed, orchestrated violence of the left here and abroad comrade?

Given the CBC is just a bought and paid for LPC propaganda asset I’d say the answer is yes.

Germany urged to repatriate £122bn in gold from Trump’s ‘risky’ America

Storage of reserves must be reassessed because US ‘no longer reliable partner of the EU’, say economists

Germany has been urged to withdraw more than £100bn worth of gold from US vaults because Donald Trump’s unpredictability has made the deposits too “risky”.

The country currently stores 1,236 tons of gold, roughly the same weight as three Air Force One jets, at the US Federal Reserve in New York worth around €164bn (£122bn).

Economists and politicians have warned this leaves the vast wealth exposed to the whim of an increasingly erratic US president, who this month alone has threatened Europe with crippling sanctions over Greenland, burst into Venezuela and captured its president, and is poised to launch air strikes on Iran.

As if the EU was ever reliable on any matter.
