The mainstream media have spent pretty much every moment since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president of the United States portraying him as an evil, cruel, empathy-free tyrant who couldn’t manage a kind word for anyone outside his own family. Joe Biden practically built his entire 2020 campaign on that same premise, insisting that the election came down to character, and that Trump simply didn’t have it.
OTTAWA — U.S President Donald Trump’s Republican Party has revoked the CBC/Radio-Canada’s press access to its upcoming midterm convention, citing the public broadcaster’s now-reversed policy not to refer to 9/11 as “terrorism” without direct attribution, National Post has learned.
A CBC spokesperson confirmed Monday that the Republican National Convention (RNC) had revoked access for both CBC and Radio-Canada to its major party gathering on Sept. 9 and 10, ahead of key mid-term elections.
Imploring a young audience to “discard the stuck-on-stupid card,” retired Lieutenant Colonel Alan West then quoted poet Maya Angelou, “When people show you who they are the first time, believe them.” Spoken not just once, “Death to America” has been bellowed a gazillion times by Islamic Shias in Iran and elsewhere including Dearborn, MI. Do you believe them? If not, you own a “stuck-on-stupid” card.
In New York City, Muslims on Times Square incessantly shouted, “Allahu Akbar.” The leader addressing the hyped-up horde said sarcastically, “Don’t scare them, brothers. Relax brothers. Who has seen those videos saying, ‘Oh my God, the Muslims are taking over New York.’ You’ve seen those.” (The “brothers” laugh.) Doubling down, the leader yelled, “Let them know we are taking over New York” as the frenzied mob belted out, “Allahu Akbar.” Do you think they’re serious? If not, you ‘ve got a “stuck-on-stupid” card.
An American corporate executive who married my Montreal cousin decades ago always insisted that Canada in time would be absorbed by the U.S. It was inevitable, he said. The most powerful nation in the world would be hungry for all our northern resources and Canada would be powerless to fight back.
If the negotiating terms the Trump team recently offered Canada is anything to go by, Trump would seem to hold a similar view today.
Egypt is reportedly preparing to host another round of talks between the Palestinian factions, including Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s ruling Fatah faction and the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group.
The stated goal sounds appealing: achieving Palestinian “national unity.”
The real question, however, is: Unity with whom, and against whom?
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is under attack, bombarded by U.S. tariffs and a trade partner that moves goalposts on a whim.
The federal government’s initial response was to offer short-term support payments for companies and workers hit by this latest round of American tariffs.
A UN committee has said countries are legally obliged to consider reparations for the transatlantic slave trade and take other measures to address the enduring legacy of racial discrimination.
Guidance published on Monday by the committee on the elimination of racial discrimination (CERD) said the obligations arose from a legally binding 1965 convention on racial discrimination, not from the legal standards that existed when the slave trade took place.
The committee described the approach as a “paradigm shift” away from debates over historical responsibility that have often been used by governments to resist reparations claims.
OK African Slave Traders first.
The Carney government’s approval rating is strong. But our new analysis suggests that strength rests on a much narrower foundation than the topline number implies.
Our latest Abacus Data survey finds 56% approve of the federal government, compared with just 29% who disapprove. Yet when Canadians grade the government across ten different issues, the picture is far less flattering. On five files, including housing, affordability, the deficit, immigration, and crime, more people disapprove than approve.
For many Iranians, the new US sanctions campaign, called Operation Economic Outcast, seems superfluous given the grim economic situation in their country.
Iranians are facing runaway food inflation, closed petrol stations and a seemingly never-ending depreciation of the nation’s currency caused by a lack of foreign exchange reserves.
Vegetable oil in Iran in August cost 383% more than a year ago. The price of eggs rose by 294%, chicken by 177% and red meat by 148%.
Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) suggested the United States should make Alberta its “51st state” if the oil-rich province breaks away from Canada, jumping on President Donald Trump’s repeated tease of the nation’s northern neighbor.
The House Republican floated the prospect during an interview on Newsmax’s National Report Monday morning while defending Trump’s aggressive approach toward Canada and other U.S. allies.

Following tonight’s round of reciprocal U.S.-Iran strikes, that saw the U.S. target two Iranian mine-laying MLRS systems and Iran target U.S. bases and infrastructure in Jordan, U.S. President Donald J. Trump posted a number of AI videos depicting Iran’s Kharg Island being… pic.twitter.com/49dmpP31zR

The Dallas Stars will not be hosting LGBTQ Pride Night for the 2026-2027 season, the first time in five years.
The NHL team did not provide a specific reason for dropping Pride Night in the coming season, which usually takes place in February or March. The team will instead reportedly “host a game dubbed ‘Hockey Unites Us: Women in Sports Night’ on March 23 against the Carolina Hurricanes,” per Dallas News.
I wonder if the Transgender cult was the real reason.
As Canada aims for a goal of 90 per cent electric vehicle adoption by 2040, thefts from EV charging stations are becoming a prominent issue around the country.
The price of copper, the highly conductive metal which is used in EV charging cables, has been steadily climbing in recent years, to an all-time high of around $20.99 per kilogram earlier this month.
Thieves have been capitalizing on the rise in value, officials say, with thefts costing B.C.’s provincial power company more than $1 million in the past year.
Gun sales go up year after year. The Bruen decision meant that subjective permitting requirements were unconstitutional, scuttling generations of oppressive anti-Second Amendment laws. Through it all, though, we were told how every bit of our rights being restored would result in our society becoming less safe.
Never mind that all of this happened after the spikes in homicides in 2020 and 2021, which suggested the status quo wasn’t exactly helping.
