Canada should craft its own national-security policy

Find PA Cat’s Dad

The new national-security strategy issued by the Trump administration has caused shock waves among the United States’ allies.

It contains a retreat by the United States from global leadership and an abandonment of any principled foreign policy. It fails to address threats posed by authoritarian regimes and castigates Europe as a continent in decline, which needs U.S.-style political change. It shows signs of weakening NATO commitments, lacks support for Ukraine and emphasizes U.S. dominance of the Western hemisphere. The Trump strategy presents an explosive mix of policies that give new substance to an unprecedented version of the doctrine of “America first.”

Apparently America is obligated to pick up the tab for everybody forever, 80 years wasn’t enough.

More than 9,500 commercial truckers taken off U.S. roads nationwide

More than 9,500 commercial truckers have been taken off of U.S. roads for failing English-language proficiency checks, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said.

“We’ve now knocked 9,500 truck drivers out of service for failing to speak our national language – ENGLISH!” Duffy said in an X post. “This administration will always put you and your family’s safety first.”

I doubt Canada has de-licensed a single illegal.

Trump: Don’t Fence Me In

How does the US see its role in global politics, at least for the remainder of President Donald Trump’s tenure at the White House?

That is the question that, following a procedure adopted by all presidents since the 1970s, the just published National Security Strategy wishes to address.

The new paper is the second such document bearing Trump’s name.

Issued during Trump’s first term as president, the initial one was in fact produced by the foreign policy and military establishment of the time, inherited from previous administrations, and didn’t reflect Trump’s unorthodox views. It was three times longer, laden with clichés, politically correct in tone and designed to dance around difficult issues.

America’s new doctrine of Empire – Can Trump save Europe from itself?

When I was a child, I once, after being told off by my mother, conspicuously gathered together some treasured toys into a tea towel, and wrapped them onto the end of a broom handle, as I had seen tramps do in cartoons. Declaring that I was running away, I made it as far as the garden gate, where I lingered for some long minutes, waiting for my mother to rush out and usher me back into the warm security of home, torn between the certainty that she would — and a dread anxiety that I was, as I had declared I wanted, now truly on my own. So it is today with Europe’s political elites, endlessly declaring that this time everything has changed, and the continent must now stand on its own in a harsh and frightening world, while secretly anticipating, with mounting dread, to be ushered back into America’s stifling if protective embrace. Yet in this instance, our rulers must be careful what they wish for.

JOHNSON: US-Canada national security breakdown — why Americans are walking away

The seventeenth annual Halifax International Security Forum (HISF) took place from November 21 to 23, 2025. It was co-hosted by the Canadian Minister of National Defence, David McGuinty, and the forum’s theme was, perhaps ironically, on “democracy.” The choice in theme isn’t a generic catchphrase; it’s meant as a direct sidelining of the USA. There was not much discussion, however, about whether the fanatical Liberal Party of Canada’s “elbows up” hysteria could get Canadians or our allies killed in World War 3.

Devout Catholics Support Mass Deportations

The Incredulity of Saint Thomas – Guercino

A new poll reveals what mass attendance actually predicts about virtue and deportation policy.

America’s Catholic bishops may incessantly complain about President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda, but American Catholics actually support such measures as mass deportations. EWTN News and RealClear Opinion Research published a poll late last week which found that a majority (54 percent) of American Catholics favor mass deportations, including 27.5 percent (the largest share recorded in the poll) who “strongly favor” the policy, while only 30 percent oppose it and less than 17 percent expressed indifference. Support for the “detention and deportation of unauthorized immigrants on a broad scale” increased to 60 percent among white Catholics and opposition fell to 26 percent.

What are your rights as a Canadian if asked by a U.S. border agent to see your social media?

The news that some travellers visiting the U.S. might soon be asked to share personal things like social media and email accounts has left many Canadians unsettled about what could happen at the border.

A notice published Wednesday in the U.S. Federal Register said U.S. Customs and Border Protection advises collecting five years’ worth of social media information from travellers from some countries that don’t need to get visas to come to the U.S. It’s the latest move by the Trump administration when it comes to monitoring international travellers and immigrants.

New York is the 8th state found to have improperly issued commercial driver’s licenses to Illegal alien invaders

New York is the eighth state found to routinely issue commercial driver’s licenses to immigrants that are valid long after they are no longer legally authorized to be in the country, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Friday, and he threatened to withhold $73 million in highway funds unless the system is fixed and any flawed licenses are revoked.

New York was the fourth state run by a Democratic governor called out publicly by Duffy in his effort to make sure truck and bus drivers are qualified to either haul passengers or 80,000 pounds of cargo down the highway. He previously questioned similar practices in California, Pennsylvania and Minnesota.

US wargames played out scenarios for Maduro’s fall. None of them ended well for Venezuela

Nicolás Maduro is chased out of office by a massive popular revolt but the Venezuelan military takes to the streets, turning its guns on the civilians who have brought him down.

A palace coup sends Venezuela’s authoritarian leader into exile, sparking a bloody power struggle between members of his disintegrating regime.

Maduro or a key ally is assassinated by a US “decapitation” strike but – as foreign soldiers commandeer Caracas and key airports and ports – leftwing insurgents tighten their grip on the country’s mineral-rich hinterlands and regime loyalists launch guerrilla-style attacks on oil refineries and pipelines.

The week Trump turned his back on Europe

It was the rustle of paperwork heard around the world: a 33-page US security plan that upended virtually everything Europe takes for granted about its closest military ally.

In a new national security strategy report (NSS), the Trump administration painted an excoriating picture of a Europe in terminal decline and ruled by weak, corrupt elites.

“Civilisational erasure” loomed for the Continent, the NSS claimed, blaming centrist governments for their fixation on open borders, political correctness and censorship.

Tough love but someone had to do it and I include Canada among the deserving recipients.

Scrutiny Rising Over Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Ties to Terrorism — and Turkey’s Governmen

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is taking a beating this holiday season. Just before Thanksgiving, Texas designated the civil rights organization, known colloquially as “CAIR,” as a foreign terrorist organization. Florida followed suit on December 8.

The day that Governor Ron DeSantis designated CAIR, news broke that the organization’s political advocacy arm, CAIR Action, has been operating in America “without the licenses, registrations, or legal authority required in any of the 22 states where it raises money or conducts political activity.” Nor does CAIR Action possess the documentation required to “legally operate or solicit funds” at Washington, D.C., where it’s incorporated.

Pressure mounts on Rep Ilhan Omar as Ted Cruz warns she faces jail and deportation if ‘incest’ marriage is true

Ilhan Omar married her brother Elmi

Senator Ted Cruz has weighed in on Representative Ilhan Omar and issued her with a warning after allegations have swirled that the progressive congresswoman married her brother so he could become an American citizen.

Cruz shared an article on X, accusing Omar of the reported sham marriage, writing: ‘If this is true, then Omar faces criminal liability under three different statutes.’

The Republican senator then cited three US laws, including Federal Marriage Fraud, State Incest Laws, and Tax Fraud.
