Canada’s trade with U.S. at risk over Chinese EV deal, auto rep says

Mark Carney’s deal to allow Chinese electric vehicles to enter Canada with a low tariff rate will make trade talks with the U.S. tougher, the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association says.

Brian Kingston, the organization’s chief executive officer representing Canadian auto plants of the Detroit-based General Motors, Stellantis and Ford, said the Prime Minister’s decision last month to remove the 100% tariff on EVs and replace it with a 6.1% most-favoured-nation rate “further complicates” trade talks later this year.

The Coming Revolution Down South

Will Cuba be Libre soon, and if so what happens next? And after that?

Cuba is coming apart at the seams. I know, I know — it’s been falling apart for literally decades, and one of the sad demonstrations of the past few years is just how long a country whose leaders don’t care about their people’s welfare, because they don’t have to, can be held more or less static. (See also Venezuela, Iran, North Korea). But, you now, “gradually, then suddenly.” There’s some reason to believe that Cuba is approaching the “suddenly” part of that equation. That’s bad news in the near term, but I have some thoughts on the longer term, too, and they’re much more positive.

Canada trans shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar’s mom described him as sadistic — as twisted addicted to death videos revealed

A gun for a sadistic 12 year old?

Canada’s transgender school shooter was a sadistic 7-year-old, his own mother once said — and he grew more sinister in the months before the shooting as he became obsessed with twisted murder videos.

Jesse Van Rootselaar, an 18-year-old high school dropout, carried out the second worst school shooting in Canadian history Tuesday, first slaughtering his mother and stepbrother at home and then storming into Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, where he killed six people and injured 25 more before turning the gun on himself.

Your Tinfoil Hat Uncle Was Right Again

 

Remember back in 2015 when your bourbon-chugging, conspiracy theorist “Uncle Kevin” stunned the family at Christmas dinner by stating, “A bunch of rich pedos are trying to form a one-world government. They’ll take away your steaks, cars, and dogs and blame it on ‘climate change.’ They’ll tell you men are women, and label you a ‘bigot’ if you refuse to let them control your mind. They’ll fill your kids full of SSRIs and tell them to cut off their genitals, and they’ll take your children away if you don’t play along. They’ll replace cash with digital currency and freeze your funds if they don’t like your latest tweet. And if you don’t stop saying things these lizard people don’t condone, they will arrest you. While all of this is happening, the New World Order will flood the West with third-world Muslim savages who will rape and murder with near impunity. They will live off of your tax dollars while replacing you by simple demographics. Once they outnumber us, We the People will be hunted into genocide. They want this done by 2030. Don’t give up your guns, and please pass the ambrosia.”

Who has been ordering these houses be shot up? The Toronto police corruption probe offers an answer

Bullet holes spattered the walls of the house on Farrell Road, joining three others that had punctured the same house just three weeks earlier.

It was September 2025, and over the course of just two weeks, four houses in Vaughan had been targeted by gunfire, some of them repeatedly.

Police announced the arrest of the alleged triggerman a few weeks later, publicly linking the incidents to the GTA’s long-standing tow-truck turf war. The house on Farrell had been home to a kingpin in the protracted battle, who had been shot dead himself more than a year earlier.

Randall Denley: Carney’s EV plan benefits Carney, not Canadian carmakers

At first glance, Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new auto industry strategy looks like billions of dollars in support for Ontario’s beleaguered vehicle manufacturers. Unfortunately, Carney’s EV-focused approach will do little or nothing to solve the industry’s problems.

It’s difficult to imagine a plan more untethered from the economic realities of the real-world auto industry. To summarize, the Carney plan relies on electric vehicles (EVs) that Ontario plants don’t produce, a sudden and dramatic new appetite for buying EVs and an imagined export market that doesn’t exist. To top it off, the federal government will provide $2.3 billion in EV rebates that will encourage Canadians to buy cars made elsewhere, although the new Chinese imports are excluded.
