WTF?
Xi confronts Trump over Taiwan
China could go to war with the United States over Taiwan, Xi Jinping warned in a tense start to Donald Trump’s state visit.
The Chinese president said the disputed territory was the “most important issue in China-US relations” in comments released by state media on Thursday.
“If it is handled well, bilateral relations can remain generally stable. If it is not handled properly, the two countries could collide or even come into conflict,” he said. That would be “very dangerous”.
WTF?
🚨 THIS IS HOW YOU DEAL WITH THE RADICAL MOB.
An anti-Semitic mob tried to blockade the Maersk headquarters in Copenhagen to disrupt critical maritime infrastructure.
Danish police showed absolutely zero tolerance. They moved in, restored public order, and shut the mob down.… pic.twitter.com/vYw7QpPUC9

America’s role as Canada’s culture-shaper is coming to an end
In the United States, the life expectancy is 78.4 years. In Canada, it’s 82.2.
That would be a good statistic to insert into a response to America’s Canada-trashers, like Ambassador Pete Hoekstra or Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. A line like: “Dear Americans, if you want to live several years longer, move to Canada.”
It’s a telling statistic. In the debate in Carneyland over the need to turn away from the United States and broaden relations with Europe and elsewhere, the focus has been on the imperative of lessening reliance on American trade and defence.
Hollywood’s clout is in well noted decline primarily because it has become un-American.
TDS bash all you want but Trump is making America far more free and far better off economically than Canada.
Artificial intelligence industry claims looming ‘singularity’ will change everything
It has been called the most important chart in the world.
Every time one of the world’s top artificial intelligence companies unveils a new system, employees at the US research organisation METR put it through its paces, testing its ability to complete a series of increasingly complex tasks.
The tasks are measured by how long each one would take a skilled human.
GOLDSTEIN: It’s as if the foreign interference inquiry never happened
Has the federal government learned nothing from Canada’s foreign interference inquiry?
More than five years after the previous Justin Trudeau regime first claimed to be “actively considering” a foreign lobbyists’ registry (officially the Foreign Influence Transparency Registry) in February 2021, Canada still doesn’t have one.
Palestinian Leaders Still Reject Israel’s Right to Exist
On May 11 and 12, the Palestinian Authority organized mass rallies across the West Bank to commemorate the “Nakba” (“catastrophe”) — the term Palestinians use to describe the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.
Hundreds of Palestinians marched through the streets of Ramallah, the de facto capital of the Palestinians, waving flags, carrying “keys of return,” and chanting slogans such as “We live a new Nakba every day” and “We will never forget the right of return.”

The Department of National Defence confirms Topshee is replacing the retiring Lt.-Gen. Stephen Kelsey as vice-chief of the defence staff.

Not Gay? That can’t last.
Former imam sentenced to life for sexual assaults
A “cunning” and “manipulative” former imam in east London has been given a life sentence with a minimum prison term of 20 years for a series of sexual attacks on women and girls as young as 12.
Abdul Halim Khan, 54, was described as having abused the trust and authority that came with his position to carry out attacks against seven victims from the local Muslim community between 2005 and 2014.
Sentencing him, Judge Leslie Cuthbert described Khan’s “deliberate distortion of the Muslim faith”.
That judge is very weak on Islam.
Canada’s auto industry at ‘inflection point’ dependant on U.S. free trade: report
Canada’s auto industry is at an “inflection point” and a new report suggests its future success hinges on restoring free trade with the U.S.
The report by RBC, released Tuesday, looked at four paths to determine options the industry could take, but also the trade-offs that would come with them.
“Canada is at a strategic crossroads when it comes to the future of its auto industry and essential to that future is securing free trade with the United States,” said Jordan Brennan, managing director at RBC Thought Leadership and author of the report, in an interview.
If Trump accomplishes his promise and reshores assembly then Canada can look forward to cleaning up Chinese EV fires.

Carney government signals it’s open to selling Canadian ports
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is looking at offering Canadian sea ports for sale.
Buried deep in the pages of a discussion paper released Friday — one of two published for swift 30-day public consultations — is the announcement that the government is open to and seeking a report on the potential amalgamation of certain unnamed “key ports” in Canada and “divestiture” of others.
Trump’s Weaning Ukraine Off US Aid Was the Best Thing to Happen to It
Ukraine is doing the unthinkable: winning its war against Russia. I doubt it will achieve its war aim of removing all Russian soldiers from all its territory, especially Crimea, but it certainly has Russia on the run.
For the first two years of the war, the Europeans, and especially Biden, simultaneously poured billions of dollars of weapons for the country’s defense and restricted the use of those weapons so heavily that the inevitable result was a bloody stalemate and a forever war.
Feces flinger still bringing joy of diversity to Torontonians
Is alleged feces flinger the same man accused of weekend sex assaults?
A 30-year-old man is accused of sexually assaulting two women at opposite ends of the city in less than 24 hours over the weekend.
But while Toronto cops routinely say when an accused is “known to police,” they refused to confirm whether Samuel Opoku is the same man who made headlines in 2019 for allegedly hurling buckets of liquefied fecal matter on unsuspecting victims in the city.
Civilizational Suicide: We Have Become Troy
In Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming movie The Odyssey, due July 17, 2026, the Trojan Horse arrives wrapped in modern rationalism.
Nolan, a director noted for his command of causality and mechanics, saw a narrative problem in the ancient tale: why would the Trojans drag a giant wooden horse inside their city? His solution, shared with evident pride in a Time interview, was to make the horse half-submerged and sinking so the Trojans would rescue it. The Trojan claiming of the Horse became a rescue story, not one of foolishness and hubris.
