There is a reason why the United States and Canada consider China a “non-market economy.”
Beijing, rather than market forces, determines production and prices.
Since China joined the World Trade Organization in 2000, it has been able to access Western markets, without offering reciprocal access.
Border czar Tom Homan announced on Tuesday that the government is creating a database of leftist anti-ICE protesters who impede the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts.
During an appearance on Fox News, Homan acknowledged that people have the right to protest the administration’s policies. “But when you cross the line…if you interfere, impede, or assault a police officer, you will be prosecuted,” he said. “One thing I’m pushing for right now…we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Donald Trump’s Arctic strategy has been 500 years in the making.
When Christopher Columbus set sail across the Atlantic in 1492, he intended to find a direct path from Europe to Asia.
He didn’t, of course — but the first transatlantic explorer to sail under an English flag, John Cabot, tried again a few years later and became the first modern explorer to reach what is now Canada.

Driving down an uncertain road.
On his recent trip to Beijing, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney praised the leadership of Xi Jinping and announced plans to bring 49,000 Chinese electric cars into Canada. In several ways that escaped notice, Carney was following in the footsteps of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
As David Frum notes, Trudeau “traveled to Josef Stalin’s Soviet Union to participate in regime-sponsored propaganda activities,” a reference to the Moscow Economic Conference in April, 1952. Stalin’s USSR came billed as a workers’ state based on the “scientific” principles of Marxism-Leninism, as opposed to the “bourgeois” nations with their market economies. The regime’s admirers assumed that the Communist regime’s products would be superior, but it didn’t turn out that way.

When people decide they’ll never own a home, they start spending more, working less, and taking bigger financial risks.
That is the central finding of a new U.S. working paper on housing affordability, and it helps explain why today’s housing crisis is not just about housing. Once homeownership feels permanently out of reach, the authors argue that people do not simply adjust their housing plans – they change how they live. For the worse.
Dangerous is when they burn the Globe down for penning pieces that never explain how we arrived at this terrible juncture: Exploitive Mass immigration.
A whistleblower speaks out on the department’s incompetence and negligence.
The furor around Minnesota’s fraud scandal shows no sign of dying down. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota says $9 billion or more in taxpayer funds may have been stolen across 14 state welfare programs since 2018.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services is the state agency responsible for overseeing the programs at the heart of the scandal. Faye Bernstein has been a DHS employee for two decades, including stints working in contract management and as a compliance officer.
Public-sector workers in Ontario are paid higher wages and have better benefits than those doing comparable work in the private sector, according to a new study by the Fraser Institute that was released Tuesday.
The report by the fiscally conservative think-tank found federal, provincial and municipal employees in Ontario were paid 7.9% more on average than their private-sector counterparts in 2024, the most recent year of comparable data available from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey.
From Syria to Gaza to Iran, Qatar is hijacking the Trump administration.
Syria’s Al Qaeda regime is massacring Kurds to free imprisoned ISIS terrorists, state sponsors of Hamas in Turkey and Qatar are being named to boards running Gaza, and thousands of democracy protesters are being massacred in Iran while Al Jazeera defends the regime.
This isn’t American foreign policy, but it is Qatar’s foreign policy.
A Huron County man who often uses shelters to avoid sleeping outside says the Huron Perth Health Care Alliance paid his $241.42 taxi fare to London, Ont., to free up space in a shelter where he’d been staying in Clinton.
The man told CBC News he was sent to London on the promise there would be shelter space for him, which upon arrival turned out to not be the case.
In early 2024, executives at artificial intelligence start-up Anthropic ramped up an ambitious project they sought to keep quiet. “Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world,” an internal planning document unsealed in legal filings last week said. “We don’t want it to be known that we are working on this.”
Within about a year, according to the filings, the company had spent tens of millions of dollars to acquire and slice the spines off millions of books, before scanning their pages to feed more knowledge into the AI models behind products such as its popular chatbot Claude.
