Carney’s final chance to convince Trump as US-Canada trade deadline looms

“Intense” trade talks are going down to the wire as Canada seeks to avoid a fresh round of tariffs from the Trump administration due to come into effect on Wednesday.

Canadian negotiators have been camped out in Washington for a week, trying to pin down some agreement before new 50% tariffs on some $20bn (C$28bn) worth of Canadian imports are imposed.

Prime Minister Mark Carney kept details of the talks close to his chest when pressed by reporters on Monday, saying that given the “very delicate and intense” negotiations, it is “not the time to negotiate in public”.

Gross Chelsea Clinton Boasts That Killing Unborn Babies Is Good for the Economy

Liberals love to talk about how they are beyond materialism, caring about important things like love, compassion, and Haitians, who need a new place to stalk cats and dogs for food.

But the truth is very different. The argument for being a DINK, or a couple without kids, is all about having more free time and money to do things you really want to do, like go to Costco, travel, and experiment at swingers clubs and sex dungeons. Maybe throw in a week or three in a polycule, and you have a full life, right?

Ghoul is right.

It’s Crunchtime Again for Canada to Avoid New U.S. Tariffs

Canada is bracing for a U.S. tariff deadline arriving at midnight on Tuesday, when a number of new levies by the Trump administration will come into effect unless negotiators strike an 11th-hour deal.

The United States’ trade representative, Jamieson Greer, who is heading the talks for the U.S. side, said last week that the negotiators were reviewing options and that he expected Canada to drop certain measures it had already taken in response to U.S. tariffs.

‘Our task is to laugh at these enemies’: the Ukrainian unit posting drone videos of Russian soldiers’ last moments

To many observers they will appear dehumanising and offensive. To many Ukrainians, however, they are a brutal reminder of the fate that awaits Russian soldiers who take part in Vladimir Putin’s invasion, as well as a potent propaganda weapon.

Over the past year and a half, videos of kamikaze drones chasing Russian service personnel to their deaths have become a distinctive genre on social media. They are the brainchild of Robert Brovdi, the head of Ukraine’s unmanned systems forces and founder of “Magyar’s Birds”, named after his call sign.

House public safety committee to hold special meeting on accused NATO spy

OTTAWA — The House of Commons public safety committee will meet Monday to decide whether to investigate potential security screening failures, after a Canadian woman was arrested in Belgium for allegedly spying on NATO.

On July 25, Belgian authorities announced the arrest of a “Canadian national of Chinese origin” on suspicion of spying for a third country while working as an intern at NATO’s central military headquarters in southern Belgium. The suspect was subsequently identified as Biwei “Claire” Zhang, a computer science and systems engineering graduate in her early 30s who’d previously held positions at multiple Canadian federal agencies.

Netanyahu party campaign billboard likens Mamdani to leaders of Iran and Hezbollah

Benjamin Netanyahu’s party has compared the New York City mayor, Zohran Mamdani to the leaders of Iran and Hezbollah on a campaign billboard.

The billboard in central Tel Aviv depicts Mamdani alongside the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and the chief of the militant group Hezbollah, Naim Qassem.

“They want Netanyahu to lose … Don’t let them win,” says the poster featuring the logo of Netanyahu’s rightwing Likud party.

Trump takes Carney’s phone call as tariff deadline approaches

Prime Minister Mark Carney spoke over the phone with Donald Trump on Monday afternoon ahead of the U.S. president’s tariff deadline.

While CTV News has confirmed the conversation took place, the Prime Minister’s Office would not provide further details, other than that the conversation was about “the ongoing trade negotiations.”

PM @MarkJCarney says he has plan to cover “all eventualities” if U.S. imposes $28 billion in new tariffs under Wednesday deadline. Details of plan too confidential to discuss in public, he said.https://t.co/KzTwlnxDkI @howardlutnick @jamiesongreer @DLeBlancNB @GAC_Corporate… pic.twitter.com/1zJ4hBVI0r

Iranians offered $30k to kill US troops

Iran has offered its soldiers and citizens $30,000 (£22,000) for killing or capturing any American troops, with the reward doubled if a woman completes the mission.

Amir Hatami, Tehran’s army chief, said on Sunday the plan had been drawn up following a “large number of requests” to support the war, which shows no signs of a diplomatic breakthrough.

LILLEY: Canada’s trade folly? Courting China while clashing with America

“For us this is not a trade war,” Jamieson Greer said last week.

It’s a statement at odds with how Canadians have viewed the ongoing trade dispute with the United States. It’s not the first time that Greer, Donald Trump’s chief trade negotiator, has made those remarks; he’s also not the first senior American official to dispute the idea that Canada is in a trade war with the United States.

Anthony Koch: Replacing Poilievre won’t solve the Conservatives’ problems

There is a growing chorus of Conservatives who want Pierre Poilievre gone. They should be careful what they wish for.

This isn’t necessarily a defence of Poilievre. He has made mistakes, his critics have legitimate arguments and nobody is entitled to lead a political party forever. And maybe the Conservatives will eventually conclude that somebody else should lead them into the next election.
