‘Get their act together’: Freeland on U.S. relationship with others on world stage

Former cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland says when it comes to the U.S. and its relationships with other countries on the world stage, it needs to “get their act together.”

Since his 2025 inauguration, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened several countries, including Canada, with annexation and tariffs on goods, creating an ongoing trade war.

Freeland, fresh off her January resignation as a member of Parliament, appeared Friday on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” Freeland resigned after being appointed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as an adviser on economic development for Ukraine.

Did she ever work for Canada?

Andrew shared confidential information with Epstein as trade envoy, files suggest

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to have knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein from his official work as trade envoy in 2010 and 2011, according to material in the latest release of files in the US seen by the BBC.

Emails from the recently-released batch of Epstein files show the former prince passing on reports of visits to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam and confidential details of investment opportunities.

Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information about their official visits.

Charles will have no choice but to behead him soon.

Toronto Police officers have been accused of running a matchmaking service for violent crooks. The question now is how deep the rot goes

Give him this much. When he appeared before the media Thursday, Myron Demkiw sounded shook. And who can blame him? The Toronto police chief wasn’t announcing just any scandal, along with his colleagues from York Region. No, the rot Demkiw laid out — alleged corruption, organized crime, drug dealing, links to attempted murder — is the kind of stuff that can stain a department for generations.

“This is a painful and unsettling moment,” Demkiw said, his always gravelly voice nearly breaking. “It needs to be addressed openly and it needs to be addressed honestly.” Demkiw said that last word — honestly — staring straight down at his notes. It crackled as it came out of his mouth: honestly. He barely got it out.

How Ottawa’s New Program Replacing the EV Mandate Pushes Canadians Toward Electric Vehicles

China’s EV’s

It’s not surprising that Prime Minister Mark Carney finally scrapped the electric vehicle (EV) mandate brought in by his predecessor Justin Trudeau. Despite years of subsidies, promotion, and arm-twisting, Canadians weren’t willing to embrace EVs in numbers anywhere near those mandated.

Auto manufacturers and dealers were caught in an impossible situation as they were expected to build and sell a product under a fast-approaching deadline when consumers didn’t want it. Either the mandate had to be scrapped, or the punitive phase of the policy would have to be applied to dealers and manufacturers. Carney chose the former option.
