On Aug. 19, the United States is expected to impose a 50% tariff on selected Canadian dairy products. Predictably, Ottawa will denounce Donald Trump and portray any discussion about reforming supply management as capitulation. That would be a mistake. The tariffs do not cover all dairy exports. Cheese, butter, yogurt and conventional milk are generally excluded. They primarily target ingredients such as whey, milk powders, lactose, casein and milk-protein concentrates.
Seriously?
How much are taxpayers on the hook for this?
And how many of the great Canadian adventures Sophie rattled off did taxpayers underwrite? 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/OnwqULg4fY

I always thought her ‘song” incident was a cry for help or perhaps a hostage video.
Rising grocery prices are forcing many Canadians to cut back on meat and fresh food, while one in five say they have skipped meals over the past six months, according to new research commissioned by the federal Department of Agriculture.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the survey found food affordability has become the dominant concern for Canadian shoppers, with most respondents saying inflation has fundamentally changed how they buy groceries.

The invasion last week of the Spanish city of Ceuta by some 60,000 Moroccans, mostly young military-age men, was a useful demonstration of how mass migration and indeed entire populations can be weaponized and deployed in what amounts to hybrid warfare against sovereign nations.
In this particular case, the reason for the deployment likely has to do with the Moroccan state’s longstanding irredentist claims in North Africa, which include the coastal enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla—the plazas de soberanía along the North African coast that have belonged to Spain for more than four centuries but which Morocco has claimed since its independence in 1956.
The Moroccan invasion of Spain happened for 3 reasons, 2 of which involved open borders decisions by Spanish authorities, and a crucial one of which was the decision by PM Pedro Sanchez to provide legal status to 500,000 migrants.

Poland, with an imminent high-priced military ramp-up, is betting that the cost of peace is cheaper than the price of war with Russia.
In a watershed defence spend, coming from a European Union loan, Warsaw is pouring nearly 44 billion euros ($71 billion) into stepping up its military infrastructure. Why now? That’s obvious for anyone following Moscow’s unyielding provocations.
en Crump, Al Sharpton, and the compliant media repeatedly show up when they think they can exploit a death to push their agenda.
In Mississippi, a handsome black teenager named Nolan Wells went to a drinking party out in the ocean with several white friends. When he didn’t show up at home or answer his phone, Ben Crump, Al Sharpton, and multiple news outlets showed up immediately to basically accuse the white friends of murder with no evidence. These race hustlers didn’t care who they destroyed when they made their accusations.
The sad truth appears to be that the boy got drunk and accidentally drowned.
Socialism is au courant in America today, though in its 21st-century form, it is less a rebellion of the proletariat than a by-product of the capitalist elite. Through its continued efforts to decrease the returns to human labour and by financing the very groups and ideologies increasingly dedicated to its overthrow, socialism has found fertile ground.
Five months after the latest war with Iran began, it is becoming apparent that this conflict is about far more than missiles, sanctions or oil tankers. It is exposing a deeper truth about modern warfare: democratic nations often struggle to understand the strategic culture of authoritarian regimes.
Western governments have long assumed that economic hardship eventually forces political compromise. That assumption has shaped decades of sanctions policy against Iran. Yet history repeatedly demonstrates that revolutionary regimes frequently value ideological survival over economic prosperity. They are often willing to impose extraordinary hardship on their own populations if doing so preserves their hold on power.
An Afghan professional boxer who arrived in Greece on a small boat before marrying an American Christian has been arrested over the murder of Briton Elisabeth-Jane Ross in Athens.
Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, is suspected of killing the 38-year-old, who was also known as Lisa, before putting her body in a bag and dumping it in a derelict building.
Detectives trawled CCTV which allegedly shows him leaving the apartment where Ms Ross was staying with a suitcase and dropping it where her remains were found on July 16.

Five United Nations rights experts have urged Canada to take all feasible measures to protect the Sikh activist Moninder Singh, who has been repeatedly warned by the Canadian authorities of credible threats to his life.
In a letter to the Canadian government dated June 3, and made public two months later, as per regular procedure, the UN experts raised “concerning allegations of foreign intimidation and reprisals” against Singh, a Canadian national.
It recalled that since 2022, Singh has received four so-called “duty to warn” notices from the Canadian authorities about credible and imminent threats to his life.
Goodness! United Nations Experts!
More than half of Germans no longer believe their country is stable and safe following last week’s Islamist terror attack at Berlin’s Pride celebrations, according to a new opinion poll, highlighting growing public concern over the country’s failed migration policies.
The survey found that 51% of respondents rather or strongly disagreed with the statement that “Germany is a stable and safe country.” Only 37% agreed, while 12% said they were undecided.
The attack has had a direct impact on people’s sense of personal security.
A federal audit has concluded that Canada’s $135 million agricultural aid program in Ghana suffered from poor oversight and planning after thousands of taxpayer-funded motorbikes were delivered without adequate funding for fuel, maintenance or replacement parts.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the evaluation, obtained through Access to Information, found Global Affairs Canada failed to properly oversee the program, resulting in equipment that many agricultural extension workers could not afford to operate.

Another mosque in France has been shut down, this one in a bleak north Paris suburb that usually makes headlines for criminal gangs and drug trafficking.
The Attaqwa mosque, surrounded by council housing and warehouses in a grim section of Aulnay-sous-Bois, was closed by authorities this week for allegedly propagating radical Islamist ideology and inciting terrorism. Videos posted on social media also showed an imam at the mosque exhorting Muslims to strike their small children if they don’t pray.
