When it comes to Cuba, whose tourism has sunk due to a U.S. oil blockade, just over half of Canadians say to send aid even if the U.S. might not like it.
This according to a new Angus Reid poll that found 51% of Canadians want Canada to provide aid while 31% believe maintaining positive relations with U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is more important.
The entirety of those polled was Justin and and his brother.
The City of Houston, led by Democratic Mayor John Whitmire, removed a social media post announcing that city offices would be closed Friday for a “Spring holiday” after drawing condemnation for not identifying the day as Good Friday.
You might have thought that the floor-crossing Liberal MP Michael Ma would have been political kryptonite after his March 26 performance at a parliamentary committee looking into the implications of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s January invitation to China to annually export 49,000 electrical vehicles into Canada.
Ma had badgered the expert witness Margaret McCuaig-Johnston, impugned the credibility of the China Strategic Risk Institute where she serves as a senior advisor, demanded to know whether she had personally witnessed acts of forced labour in China and appeared to suggest that Beijing’s persecution of the Uyghur minority in Xinjiang was merely “hearsay.”
As the war in Iran erupted five weeks ago, social media sleuths across Western and Chinese platforms flagged a wave of viral posts detailing equipment at U.S. bases, the movements of American carrier groups and granular breakdowns of how military aircraft were assembling for strikes on Tehran.
The intelligence came from a fast growing new market: Chinese firms — some with links to the People’s Liberation Army — marrying artificial intelligence with open-source data to market information they claim can “expose” the movements of U.S. forces.
One year after U.S. President Donald Trump levied tariffs on the Canadian auto industry, leaders in the industry say they are eager to see an arrangement that restores predictability to the Canada-U.S. trade relationship.
The president and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association (CVMA) said he was initially optimistic that the tariffs would be temporary and that Canada would arrive at a new trade agreement with the U.S. that would see them removed.
Now, he said, he’s concerned by the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a resolution in sight.
Iran’s downing of two U.S. warplanes is the most striking evidence yet that, despite enormous military losses, Tehran can still significantly raise the cost of continuing the conflict for the U.S. and Israel.
The shootdowns were the most successful demonstration of Iran’s military strategy to inflict tactical defeats on the U.S. and its allies in hopes not of winning militarily, but of surviving and sapping their will to continue the fight.
The F-15E jet fighter and A-10 attack plane were the first U.S. or Israeli aircraft to be shot down in thousands of sorties flown in Iranian airspace. A massive search and rescue effort extricated one crew member but at least one additional crew member was unaccounted for.

This is another proof of the air-domination imposed by USAF over Iran. This mission is meant to recover the crew of a downed F15 aircraft.

The federal government would love Canadians to believe their monumental immigration screwup was a simple one — that they naively opened the floodgates too far, too fast, surging newcomer numbers past sustainable levels. This version of events both limits their political liability and allows for a band-aid solution of temporarily decreasing immigration targets.
Well, who would have guessed that France would wave the white flag and cut a deal with our enemy?
Not me! Up until now, France has been a staunch ally, right?!
The head of an Islamic group in Milwaukee was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers this week over allegations of immigration form fraud and funding terrorists.
The Department of Homeland Security announced on Thursday that ICE arrested Salah Sarsour, who DHS identified as a “criminal illegal alien from Jordan.” He served as the president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee.
Each year, tens of billions of dollars — more than 13% of the Canadian economy — are spent by Canadian governments on public procurement. An increase of just a few per cent in these expenditures could amount to several billion more on taxpayers’ shoulders.
In a context of rising American protectionism, governments are reinforcing preferential purchase clauses in public contracts. This approach is ill-advised and should be examined in light of the available economic data.
Three men have been charged over an arson attack on four Jewish community ambulances in Golders Green.
Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old boy have been charged with arson being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.
The two British nationals from Leyton, and the dual British and Pakistani national from Walthamstow, were arrested on Wednesday.
Heidi Rathjen has been calling for a ban on assault-style rifles since 1989, when a gunman opened fire on her classmates at Montreal’s École Polytechnique.
The shooting, in which 14 women were killed and more than a dozen injured, was a turning point for Canada, changing how the country viewed gun violence.
More than two decades later, after another deadly mass shooting in 2020, Ottawa did roll out a ban on some 2,500 models of such “assault-style” weapons.
Is it right for American troops to still be stationed in Germany more than 80 years after the end of the Second World War? Their presence has long inflamed passions on sections of the German Left, but some on the Right are now also questioning their continued presence.
Tino Chrupalla, co-leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) populist party, reignited this debate at the organisation’s regional conference last weekend. He was keen to remind supporters that there was more to the AfD than its anti-immigration stance. Its official programme demands the withdrawal of all remaining Allied troops from German soil. Keen to move the AfD on from being a “one-issue party”, as he put it, Chrupalla told delegates: “Let’s start implementing this with the removal of US troops from Germany.”
The British Columbia government wants to suspend portions of its groundbreaking legislation enacting the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Premier David Eby says.
In talks with Indigenous leaders, the Premier said the government has proposed halting for three years portions of the legislation that would commit the province to bringing all its laws into alignment with UNDRIP.
