How Trump’s Moves Have Reshaped Canada’s Path

The Trump administration has had a significant global impact, particularly in disrupting the status quo in international trade. But its northern neighbour—with whom the United States shares deep economic and historical ties—has experienced transformative changes on multiple fronts as a result of Trump’s presidency, including shifts in domestic policy.

It is something Prime Minister Mark Carney has recognized, calling Trump “transformational” when the two met at the White House in early May.

Welcome to Europe’s pro-Iranian madhouse

When gays and trans people want to ally with those who hang “infidels,” history laughs at them with tears in its eyes.

The average left-wing intellectual, as the unmatched George Orwell observed, “never condemns violence as such, but only violence used in defence of Western countries.”

India Willoughby announces on X: “I could live in Iran. Better trans rights than in the UK and US.”

India is a trans rights activist. Her earlier tweet (“I never thought I’d say this, but #TeamIran”) triggered author J.K. Rowling, who doesn’t hold back: “India, fan of a regime that hates women and gays? How astonishing!” Rowling even offered to pay for her ticket to Iran.

Luxury Beliefs Might Win the Mayor’s Mansion

Last week, 33-year-old socialist and state assembly member Zohran Mamdani declared victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. Mamdani defeated Andrew Cuomo and several other candidates, thanks to a coalition defined by what I’ve called “luxury beliefs”—ideas that win applause from the affluent but often impose real costs on everyone else.

The influence of luxury-belief voters has become a defining pattern in the modern Democratic Party. Working-class constituencies are being displaced by highly educated elites who champion policies with major downsides that they can largely avoid.

The (alleged) anatomy of the $10-million heist that rocked Canadian music

At the exact moment on June 11, 2024, that Canada’s musical cognoscenti gathered at a Toronto record store to celebrate the past year’s most significant albums, someone, or some group, was getting ready to siphon nearly $10-million from the music industry.

The non-profit Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings has, for four decades, collected money from the federal government and private radio broadcasters to fund programs to help musicians and their industry pay for recording, promoting and touring – recently to the tune of $30-million a year.

Iran’s Terrorist Regime Is Wounded, Not Dead —Watch It Carefully

Thanks to the courageous and unapologetic leadership of US President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, severe and long-overdue blows were dealt to the Iranian regime.

The United States and Israel reminded the world that tyranny can be confronted. Now comes the more difficult and longer-term task: making sure Iran’s regime does not rise again. That means crippling sanctions, backed by military readiness. That means exposing and dismantling Iran’s war machine, propaganda machine and foreign influence operations in Europe, America and Latin America, and preferably the regime itself. Iran is still a revolutionary Islamist state that sees the US as the great Satan, sees Israel as a cancer, and believes that its divine mission is to conquer and export its Islamist revolution to the West.

Carney’s ‘Build, Baby, Build’ Faces Pushback From Indigenous Groups

“Build, baby, build.”

Canada’s spin on the mantra has been a nationalist rallying cry of Prime Minister Mark Carney: Build “Canada strong.” Build a Canada less dependent on the United States. Build an “energy superpower.”

That means to build, and quickly, projects of national interest that could include oil pipelines, nuclear facilities, mines, power grids, ports, roads and railways — all of it to create a stronger domestic economy and increase trade with countries other than the United States.

Emigration up, immigration down: Trends contributing to slower population growth, says StatCan

The number of people leaving the country has been slowly increasing in recent years, according to recent data from Statistics Canada. Meanwhile, immigration levels are down in the wake of federal reductions. Both these trends are contributing to a larger picture of significantly slowing population growth, according to StatCan analysis.

StatCan includes Canadian citizens and permanent residents when it refers to emigration or emigrants — folks who leave Canada to reestablish their permanent residence in another country.

Did You See Kamala Harris’ Fourth of July Post? Is the Woman Brain Dead Like Joe?

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is still coping right now. She lost the 2024 election to Donald Trump and has since been in the wilderness. Democrats are cool on her jumping back into the political ring, and her last election was a shambles. It doesn’t matter if she was the candidate from the get-go; she was awful. Her 2020 primary run was a preview of her not being ready for primetime—some people are just not meant to be president of the United States.
