OTTAWA – United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the U.S. will not tolerate retaliation from Canada but is hopeful Canadians may take a more conciliatory approach.
“If a country retaliates against us, we’re obviously not going to tolerate that,” said Greer, during a press conference in Des Moine, Iowa, on Friday. “We’ll take action. My sense is the Canadians, they want to have a more conciliatory approach, but we’ll see.”
Should be a fun ride ahead.
A woman has been accused of assassinating a former Ukrainian submarine commander who defected to Russia.
Robert Mansurovich Shageev, who was wanted for high treason by Kyiv, is believed to have been the target of the attack.
A woman identified as 32-year-old Margarita Reut was arrested in Sevastopol in Crimea on suspicion of carrying out the bombing on behalf of Ukrainian special services.
While it may mean fuller jails in the next weeks to come, with one stroke of a pen, Ontario Attorney General Doug Downey has just ended the free hall pass for violent crime.
It will be too late to save slain Toronto Police Const. Marc Pinizzotto or the fellow Toronto copper who was shot this week in the thigh, but starting Monday there will be no more free bail in Ontario. That June murder and the August attempted murder were allegedly committed by people out on release conditions. In fact, almost every violent crime is like that.
In the last few months Ford has …
Declined Carney’s offer to increase TFW’s
Stopped paying welfare to foreign freeloaders.
And now bail reform.
Ford’s internal polls must have forced him to pretend he is a conservative.
A public swimming pool in Germany marketed as being inclusive planned an event that would ‘be open exclusively to Black communities’.
The temporary open-air pool in front of Berlin’s Volksbuhne theatre was officially opened just last week, and will remain open for eight weeks.
The €300,000 (£256,289) pop-up was promoted as a summer meeting spot for locals, however, has been heavily scrutinised over plans to shut the pool off to the majority of the public for one day.
A new opinion poll shows the campaign to become the next mayor of Mississauga is a dead heat!
What a heavyweight horse race it is. Strong field. Unique set of circumstances.
You have the former mayor challenging the current mayor, who took over the job in a byelection when the previous mayor quit to pursue provincial politics but wants to come back now that she was unsuccessful there.
No Islamist candidate. I guess these two are sufficiently subversive.
France is facing a female genital mutilation (FGM) crisis brought on by mass immigration, warns Mathilda Silva of Collectif Némésis, and in those neighborhoods with the most diversity, the most women are facing the consequences of this brutal practice.
“This morning, I saw a graphic from an association that is absolutely revolting, in which it was written that 1 in 10 women in Seine-Saint-Denis is a victim of female genital mutilation. I don’t know if we realize this madness,” said Silva.
Ontario’s top court has cleared the way for the province to remove bike lanes in Toronto, overturning a lower-court ruling that found the plan created an unconstitutional risk to cyclist safety.
The Ontario Court of Appeal’s ruling says there is no Charter right to bike lanes and the government is free to change or repeal policy choices made by previous governments, even if it goes against expert advice.
A little good news.
CALGARY — Conservative MPs are questioning Pierre Poilievre’s ability to continue leading the party as well as his ability to beat Prime Minister Mark Carney in an election, CTV News has revealed.

No one who lived through the past 10 years should allow Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to giggle away the hell called “woke” that she and Democrats inflicted on this country. It can’t possibly be that easy for them to move on from what they did just because they know it’s unpopular and it complicates things for their leaders wanting to run for president in 2028.
While the left continues to focus on a system of slavery that died more than 150 years ago, we’ve got their political allies enslaving underage girls for sex.
According to a new report at RAIR Foundation USA by Vlad Tepes, a 15-year-old Muslim boy living in Austria, the child of Iraqi refugees, took a 14-year-old non-Muslim girl as a sex slave, “forcing conversion, the hijab, and repeated rape while invoking Allah’s name to threaten death.” When she tried to “resist” him and leave? According to digital chat records published by a local paper, he swore, “By Allah, I will kill you” and “You whore, I will kill you.” While the boy denies any abuse and rape, law enforcement found visible blood splatter on a wall, which the girl alleges got there during the last rape. Is anyone shocked? I’m certainly not.
OTTAWA — Canada has developed a dangerous habit: when reality collides with the prevailing political narrative, we increasingly question the reality rather than the narrative.
Call it political correctness, progressive orthodoxy, institutional risk aversion or, in the language now commonly used, “woke” politics. Canada has created a culture in which governments and institutions are often more comfortable managing the language surrounding a problem than confronting the problem itself.
In recent decades, and especially in recent weeks, we have heard much about the plight of victimised, marginalised minorities, and the belief that they ought to be afforded special treatment and extra privileges by way of recompense. The Jason Arday debacle is a reminder of this chronic state of affairs.
Outgoing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had formerly headed the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) which had offered a pass to the Muslim sex grooming gangs who had trafficked and raped as many as 250,000 women and girls in the UK.
Starmer had initially refused to launch a national inquiry into the grooming gangs, claiming that they were merely a local matter, before finally giving in to political pressure.
