They served in an Iranian force Canada lists as terrorist. They say they were conscripts — but now may face removal

Reza Gharehchahi says he would be the first to call out the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist group.

Since coming to Canada on a study permit in 2022, the Iranian has signed petitions and joined political rallies to condemn the IRGC-backed regime in Tehran, speaking out for the voiceless back home, including two close friends he says were killed in government crackdowns.

DeSantis cuts tattoos, tanning beds, and tobacco from welfare benefits list

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Monday announced reforms are coming to some welfare benefits, restricting them from being spent on “unnecessary” items.

DeSantis, who is viewed as a possible 2028 presidential contender, said he is working with the Trump administration to amend the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families State Plan, spurring changes to what welfare recipients can spend their Temporary Cash Assistance benefits on. Once implemented, the move would bar funds from being spent on items ranging from vaping products to pornography.

Trump administration plans to revoke 200,000 visas of asylum seekers

Trump administration plans to revoke 200,000 visas of asylum seekers

Donald Trump’s administration said on Monday it planned to revoke the non-immigrant visas of foreigners who have applied for or are currently seeking asylum status in the US, marking its latest step in a sweeping immigration crackdown.

A state department spokesperson said it was coordinating with the Department of Homeland Security “to identify and revoke the non-immigrant visas of foreigners who have come to the United States claiming to be short-term visitors, but then file for asylum to stay here permanently”.

The state department did not specify the number of visas that will be revoked in the process.

Jesse Kline: In the face of tough new tariffs, Carney doubles down on government spending

Jesse Kline: In the face of tough new tariffs, Carney doubles down on government spending

A week after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a new deal to expand the Churchill Falls hydroelectric project, he held a press conference in Lévis, Que., on Monday to announce a contract to build six icebreakers for the Coast Guard at the Chantier Davie shipyards.

While Canada desperately needs electricity to power its economy and icebreakers to protect its shores, Carney has yet to demonstrate that his government is capable of enacting economic policies beyond spending massive amounts of borrowed money.

Canadians do not seek a trade war – but nor will we be bullied by Donald Trump

Canadians do not seek a trade war – but nor will we be bullied by Donald Trump

The Canadians are exceedingly angry. I realise this can sometimes be difficult for foreigners to deduce, given our national struggle to express the full range of human emotion outside ice hockey riots. However, let me assure you that the prime minister Canadians saw take the stage on Saturday morning in the wake of the collapse in trade negotiations with the US was a Mark Carney practically vibrating with fury.

China denounces US threat of sanctions over trade with Iran

China denounces US threat of sanctions over trade with Iran

China has denounced the threat of US sanctions for its trade with Iran, saying any such measures would be illegal, and warned it would take “all necessary measures” to protect its national interests.

Beijing’s rejection of the US threat of secondary sanctions for any country or entity continuing to trade with Tehran had been predicted. China buys an estimated 80% of Iran’s oil exports and it has defied previous US efforts to limit the flow of revenue to the Tehran regime.

Its statement of opposition raises the question of how far the Trump administration would be prepared to go in confronting China and its financial system in the drive to isolate Iran.

Carney’s Follies Are Costing Canada

Carney’s Follies Are Costing Canada

This is my War Room conversation with Steve Bannon about recent U.S.-Canada trade negotiations and U.S. anti-discriminatory tariffs on Canadian goods now taking effect.

A problem we have with Canada is that they severely discriminate against U.S. goods in the auto, dairy, and alcoholic beverage sectors. So, we put out a Section 338 discrimination proclamation, which basically says, stop doing that, or we’re going to put these tariffs on.

Canada Retaliates With Up to 50% Tariffs on Hundreds of U.S. Products

Canada announced retaliatory tariffs as high as 50 percent on hundreds of American products on Tuesday, just days after the collapse of trade talks triggered punishing tariffs from the Trump administration.

As a trade war between the countries intensifies, Canada will start collecting tariffs of 50, 25 and 15 percent on about 700 products beginning on Sept. 8. The most significant measure is a doubling of tariffs on American steel and aluminum to 50 percent. But the list of products affected ranges from household rolls of aluminum foil to railway locomotives and steel bridges.

WARMINGTON: ‘Zombies’ on TTC show just how far Toronto has fallen

Move over, The Walking Dead. This is the flopping dead.

But these are not actors, and this is not Halloween. These real people often look like corpses in the seat next to you on the TTC subway or streetcar. Thankfully, they usually are still alive. But they can be so still and awkwardly positioned that it can be hard to tell sometimes.

Mark Carney says Donald Trump’s new tariff threat shows U.S. wants to ‘destroy’ Canadian auto sector

OTTAWA—U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest threat to jack up tariffs on Canadian autos reveals what the now-collapsed trade talks had already confirmed: that Washington wants to “destroy” major industries like the auto sector in Canada, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday.

Striking a combative tone against the Trump administration, Carney said Canada is able to find reliable trading partners everywhere in the world, “except for” in the United States and Russia, where authoritarian President Vladimir Putin has faced widespread condemnation and sanctions for his ongoing war in Ukraine.


Reshoring auto manufacturing was part of Trump’s election campaign. Carney knows that.
