Donald Trump has claimed he will be impeached if the Republicans lose the midterm elections in November.
The US president, campaigning in South Carolina, warned supporters that they would “lose everything” if Democrats took control of Congress for his final two years in office.
On Friday, Mr Trump described the potential outcome of the elections in unusually stark language as he faced the prospect of being unable to force through legislation or depend on a compliant Congress.
Stop being so uptight. Drink your bourbon. Or don’t. That’s up to you.
But provinces should put American liquor back on the shelves of their liquor stores, especially if it helps end or limit U.S. President Donald Trump’s petty and punitive tariffs on Canada.
This week Rachel de Souza, the Children’s Commissioner, has said she fears young people are becoming “intoxicated with extremism” via social media. Under-18s, she argues in a report on children being referred to Prevent, are increasingly fascinated by violence, gore and cruelty in a non-ideological context, thereby failing the threshold for potentially life-saving interventions. Much of de Souza’s previous work centers on the Southport disturbances, prompted by the murders committed by Axel Rudakubana two years ago. Now she’s added her voice to those demanding both changes to Prevent and stronger internet regulation.
Mark Carney has bet that no deal is better than a bad deal – and Canada is about to find out whether that gamble pays off.
By walking away from negotiations with the Americans, Canada now faces 50% tariffs on a long list of goods.
By the sound of what was on offer, the proposed deal with the Americans isn’t one the Prime Minister could sign and sell to the Canadian public.

The elections watchdog has been urged to investigate after the country’s biggest town hall admitted the full scale of illegal ‘family voting’.
Birmingham City Council revealed staff witnessed attempts to breach the secret ballot at 50 polling stations in May’s local elections.
A list of incidents obtained by the Daily Mail showed presiding officers repeatedly had to tell voters it is against the law to enter a booth with someone else and tell them which candidate to pick – and received abuse in return.
For a decade, the federal Liberal government allowed one of the most damaging misconceptions in Canadian economic policy to take root: that indigenous consultation means indigenous consent and that consent effectively means a veto over major projects. That was never the law, but Justin Trudeau’s Liberals behaved and spoke in ways that allowed Canadians, investors, and indigenous communities to wonder whether it was.

OTTAWA — Outspoken Ontario Conservative MP Jamil Jivani says that Prime Minister Mark Carney is erring in trying to “accelerate conflict” with the U.S., after cross-border trade talks broke down late Friday night.
Jivani told National Post that Carney struck the wrong tone in a fiery missive, sent just before the midnight deadline, vowing to match imminent 50 per cent tariffs on some Canadian goods “dollar for dollar.”
This is incredible propaganda. There’s something very wrong when you go from being “this close to a trade deal” to repeating lines from a propagandistic speech from April of 2025.

The only legitimate purpose of government is to secure and protect the natural rights of its own people, as our founders constantly pointed out. And while the United Kingdom predates the American Revolution, the fundamental obligation of government to protect its citizens is not exclusive to us.
One of the most basic protections people, but particularly women, should expect of their government is that their government will not import foreigners who want to harm them, or to be more specific, rape them.

Amnesty International was spawned over a hoax in which people were supposedly locked up over their speech. The actual event was based on a newspaper article, it had never actually happened, but that didn’t stop Amnesty International from raising and spending millions of dollars, and preaching to everyone about the importance of ‘human rights’ for succeeding generations.
OTTAWA — In this episode, I sit down with Indo-Pacific researcher Cleo Paskal and frequent Bureau guest Chris Meyer to investigate a part of the world that rarely commands sustained Western attention — but could determine the outcome of the next global conflict.
Paskal has testified repeatedly before the United States Congress and the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. A former journalist, she has spent years travelling through the Pacific’s smallest and most strategically important states. The path that drew her into this subject resembles my own in Vancouver.
Clearly, many of the feminist women who are toxifying the public square need mental help. Screaming, flailing, spitting, and chucking stuff doesn’t seem to be expunging the feminists’ evil spirits, only further arousing them. Such atrocious antics may release temporary stress, but in the long term they reinforce anger and become habit-forming. And given these women’s obsession with rage and freezing things, I’d put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez atop the list of those needing help.
The German state cannot fairly be accused of inattention when it came to Abdul Ballout. It had been observing him for the better part of a decade. It had convicted him three times and had, by the start of July, arrived at an assessment of his character that turned out to be entirely accurate. The counsellors of the deradicalisation programme into which a Berlin court had released him in May had logged their misgivings, concluded that his cooperation was a performance, and set about drafting a recommendation that he be removed from their books. They were still drafting that recommendation on Saturday 25 July, when the 21-year-old drove a white van into the closing party of Christopher Street Day, a part of Berlin’s Pride season, a few hundred yards from the Brandenburg Gate. He killed one person and injured 29 others, and then proceeded to set about the survivors with a machete.
PENTICTON — Exclusive access-to-information records show longtime “anti-hate activist” Bernie Farber advised the federal government that social-media companies should face “tangible consequences” and that government, not the platforms, must enforce rules against “online hatred.”
