WASHINGTON, Jan 24 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday said he would impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian imports if the North American country makes a trade deal with China.

In a tiny dot on the map of Australia’s vast northern deserts a mob is rampaging. Fences have been flattened, pipes unearthed, taps torn from walls and toilet cisterns demolished. It is so hot even the camels have the hump.
The mob mostly strikes Mount Liebig, about 200 miles west of Alice Springs, at night. Northern Territory officials say they have travelled hundreds of miles to lay siege to the isolated town. The group of 1,000 camels, parched even by a camel’s standards, has wandered in search of water. Even air conditioners are a target as searing temperatures show little sign of letting up across the country.

Donald Trump is sending an “armada” to the Middle East. The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and its strike group are due to arrive in the Arabian Sea in the coming days. American fighter jets usually based in Britain have landed in Jordan. And anti-missile defence systems are already in the Gulf.
None of this proves Donald Trump is preparing for war with the Islamic Republic, but it is exactly what he would do if he were. And while we are not privy to his specific battle plans, the similarities with last year’s build-up off Venezuela are impossible to ignore.

The United States is experiencing a housing crunch, and one of President Donald Trump’s latest moves to address it involves banning large investment firms from purchasing single-family homes.
Canada has also been gripped by a housing affordability crisis in recent years, with soaring rents and home prices. But to what extent are institutional investors driving this trend, and how close is Canada to potentially restricting their ability to purchase homes?

Syria’s Islamist government, led by Ahmed al-Sharaa—also known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani—is currently waging attacks against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Since January 6, an estimated 150,000 people, including Kurds, Christians, and Yazidis, have been internally displaced by forces loyal to Julani.
Julani is the head of the terrorist group Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The SDF is a U.S. ally who fought against the Islamic State (ISIS) for over a decade.
In Antwerp yesterday …
Six people were just stabbed in Antwerp during a Kurdish protest against the new Syrian regime. When Europe imported the Middle-East, it also imported its conflicts. Time to remove them all. pic.twitter.com/5gm3DDji9i

INCREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF CANADIANS WHO REPORT BELIEVING THE US/TRUMP IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THREAT TO CANADA RELATIVE TO THE DECREASE IN THOSE WHO REPORT CHINA IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THREAT
Asked what they believe to be the most important international threat to Canada, forty-four percent of Canadians cite the US/Trump.
This more than doubled from the 17 percent of Canadians who reported believing the US/Trump was the most important international threat to Canada in the 2020 wave.
The next threats Canadians cite as most important are China (seven percent) and trade wars (also seven percent). While the percentage of Canadians citing trade wars as the most important international threat to Canada remained consistent relative to the 2020 wave (seven percent), it should be noted that the percentage of Canadians citing China as the most important threat decreased to seven percent in 2025 from twenty-two percent in 2020.

Canadians are divided over whether government support should be offered to protesters in Iran, according to a new poll.
Just 26 per cent of Canadians said the federal government should publicly declare support for the protesters, while 30 per cent said it should not, according to a national poll conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies. Forty per cent of respondents said they didn’t know and four per cent did not respond.
26%. Those support numbers seem awfully low. Have we hit some sort of Islamization tipping point?

While anti-ICE insurgents stormed into Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday, there was another anti-Christian disturbance happening outside of a church in Washington, D.C., where leftist agitators screamed obscenities and threatened young Christian families as they left Sunday services.

Donald Trump’s growing effort to destabilise Cuba is a natural extension of the US President’s policy to reshape Latin America. As the Wall Street Journal reports, the administration wants to see the collapse of this Caribbean communist regime by the year’s end.
I was the global communications chief at the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, a Beijing-headquartered multilateral development institution founded in 2016, until I resigned on principle in June 2023 over the undue influence of the Chinese Communist Party in the bank’s everyday operations. I directly experienced the toxic corporate culture that the party’s political contamination created.
While the bank denied my public allegations about the institution’s true nature, the installation of Zou Jiayi — a longtime Chinese finance official and Communist Party member — as AIIB’s new president this week should dispel any remaining illusions.
Freeland’s shitty little hands were all over this as I recall.

Wednesday was the day of the opponents at the annual World Economic Forum gathering in Davos. Donald Trump and Argentina’s Javier Milei tore apart the WEF agenda. One declared globalism as officially failed, the other wielded an intellectual-ethical scalpel through the decayed body of the establishment.
Norwegian Børge Brende has been the chairman of the World Economic Forum since last year. He took over after a heated internal personnel debate from the WEF’s founder, Klaus Schwab, who for decades dominated the agenda of this shadowy institution for political will-shaping.

Somalis built America, Rep. Pramila Jayapal claimed.
“You cannot talk about any achievement the City of Boston has had,” Boston Mayor Michelle Wu insisted, “without mentioning the Somali community that has lifted our city up.”
Do we live in America or do we live in ‘Somalimerica’?

OTTAWA — Canada’s two main political party leaders won’t boast about the connection, but they have at least one important thing in common these days: As a new session of Parliament opens Monday, they’re both sitting on hot seats.
Facing upcoming periods that may well determine their political fates, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre are both approaching hurdles they need to get over in the coming weeks and months to ensure their grips on power.

Her make-up free, shellshocked face was beamed into tens of millions of homes across America this week as Destiny Jackson recounted a horrifying encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The 26-year-old mother-of-six told CNN that her baby son was tear-gassed after she and her husband Shawn found themselves trapped in an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis while driving home from their older son’s basketball game.
An altered version of events was offered to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and Associated Press, with Jackson claiming her family was injured after she stopped to check on her mother, who had been attending the January 14 protest.
You can’t make this up…
Remember the poor sweet baby & innocent family tear-gassed while just driving home from practice? 😢
New info: Video from Jan 14 protest (live-streamed by activist Jonathan Mason) shows Destiny & Shawn Jackson in the crowd 45 min before tear gas hit… pic.twitter.com/Ra6eKP6Mo9
