Trump’s economic attacks on Canada look like a shakedown. They are not — it’s a takeover

Any parent knows how the interrogation goes. You answer the first “why?” and a small voice says “but why?” You give another answer only to prompt another “but why?” By the fourth you’ve run out of reasons and blurted the real one you were hoping to keep to yourself. Rather than being difficult, children are just being thorough.

We should too. We should try it on Donald Trump.


I can’t see what he’d want with Toronto.

A Surprising Portion of Rent-Stabilized Apartments Go to NYC’s Wealthiest Renters

A Surprising Portion of Rent-Stabilized Apartments Go to NYC’s Wealthiest Renters

Renting a glitzy Manhattan apartment for half the market rate while raking in a six-figure salary is urban legend for most New Yorkers. But it is reality for a small class of renters, thanks to the city’s rent-stabilization law.

The best housing deals in New York City happen to go to some of the wealthiest renters in the area, according to The Wall Street Journal’s analysis of New York City’s 2023 Housing and Vacancy Survey, the most recent figures.

Canadians spent $3.3 billion less on travel to the U.S. last year: StatCan

Canadians spent $3.3 billion less on travel to the United States in 2025 compared to 2024, according to figures released by Statistics Canada.

The decline resulted in a total spend of $18.1 billion on visits to the U.S. last year, with the decrease driven by lower spending on leisure-related visits, which fell by $2.2 billion to $12.1 billion.

Musk takes ‘crusade’ to Europe with Armie Hammer film

Musk takes ‘crusade’ to Europe with Armie Hammer film

An American vigilante tears across an unnamed European country, killing dozens of police officers and judges, slaughtering a gang of rapists, and killing a refugee family and a random civilian – all in the name of a crusade against Muslim migrants and “woke” government officials.

Citizen Vigilante, a film from German director Uwe Boll and starring actor Armie Hammer, is violent – and very schlocky – stuff.

Initially denied a rating by German’s film regulator, it would likely have garnered very little attention, had it not caught the eye of the world’s richest person.

1 in 10 emergency physicians leaving Canadian ERs, national survey suggests

1 in 10 emergency physicians leaving Canadian ERs, national survey suggests

Dr. Kaitlin Stockton has watched far too many patients suffer in overflowing emergency departments.

The Vancouver-based physician has given patients she just met a cancer diagnosis, with little privacy in the middle of a noisy room. She’s cared for a man with an intracranial brain bleed on an ambulance stretcher in a hallway. And she can’t shake the memory of one patient who had septic shock after spending eight hours in a waiting room, dangerously close to death.


Mass Immigration’s strain on limited resources is never mentioned of course.

Anger, shock and grief – questions remain in the wake of the Berlin Pride attack

Anger, shock and grief – questions remain in the wake of the Berlin Pride attack

In Germany there is grief, shock and, increasingly, anger about the attack at Berlin Pride on Saturday night which left one Polish woman dead and injured at least 29 others.

The main suspect, Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen with Lebanese heritage, was shot and killed by police on Sunday.

Germany’s Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said Ballout “had previously drawn attention to himself through a high volume of criminal offences, radicalisation and affiliation with the Islamist scene.”


How can Germany still be shocked by Jihadi vehicle attacks?

Paris: Allah ordered him to knife 3 women says stabby crazy person

Note – Google Translate – According to the initial information we have gathered, the terrorist angle is not being prioritized. “Yet that’s what we thought at first,” a source close to the investigation confided. “The guy said, ‘Allah sent me to kill women.’ But no, he’s crazy.” In any case, the anti-terrorism prosecutor’s office has not taken up the case.

Downstairs on Rue Gilbert-Cesbron in Paris’s 17th arrondissement, this Parisian man practically stumbled upon the suspect. The young man was on the ground, “two knives near him.” He had just been subdued by police officers after being followed by an off-duty officer.

How a Vancouver ATM User With 66 Cards Set Off Years-Long Probe of Online Drug Sales

It was more than three years ago when Vancouver police arrested a man after he was seen using multiple bank cards to make withdrawals at an ATM.

A search revealed he was carrying 66 bank cards and $39,200 in cash.

The strange discovery in March 2023, described in an affidavit by an RCMP cyber crime investigator, would set off a chain of events leading to a years-long probe into nationwide illicit online sales of cannabis and hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Trans person BEGS to return to the US after fleeing Trump’s America to be placed in notorious Islamic asylum center in the Netherlands: ‘I will be hurt or killed’

Trans person BEGS to return to the US after fleeing Trump’s America to be placed in notorious Islamic asylum center in the Netherlands: ‘I will be hurt or killed’

A transgender woman who fled the US seeking asylum in the Netherlands now fears she could be ‘hurt or killed’ after the notorious refugee camp she was placed in became so dangerous that the Red Cross pulled out aid workers.

Ter Apel, the Netherlands’ largest refugee camp, is home to around 2,000 asylum seekers from across the globe.

For years, it has sheltered people fleeing war and persecution, including Eritreans, Somalis and Syrians, who say it remains too dangerous to return home despite the fall of Bashar al-Assad.

Canada’s Chinese EV Quota Is 38% Full — And Tesla Took Most of It

Canada’s Chinese EV Quota Is 38% Full — And Tesla Took Most of It

Ottawa’s quota for Chinese-built electric vehicles has passed a milestone nobody in Ottawa was aiming for. Global Affairs Canada’s utilization report now shows 9,235 vehicles cleared into the country under the 24,500-unit first window that runs March 1 to August 31 — about 37.7% of the allocation, with 15,265 permits still on the table and roughly six weeks left on the clock.

Two months ago the number was 2,910. The acceleration is real. What’s more interesting is what’s inside it.
