A growing number of transgender musicians have cancelled events in the U.S. over President Donald Trump’s transgender policies even as the U.K. Supreme Court rules that transgender women are not legally biological women. Over the last few weeks, two Canadian singers have cancelled concert appearances in the U.S. claiming that they fear being “targeted” due to the president’s policies. Last month, Halifax trans non-binary pop artist T. Thomason announced that he was pulling out of All Roads Festival in Belfast, Maine, scheduled for May 16, because he is upset over the Trump administration’s policy that the U.S. government will only...

Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre lost his own seat in Parliament in Monday’s election, but he has not resigned as leader of the party and some prominent Conservatives have spoken up to defend his position. “There is no doubt that Pierre Poilievre and his team ran an incredible campaign,” former Conservative leader Andrew Scheer said in a post on social media platform X on Tuesday. Scheer noted that while the Conservatives came up short of forming a government, they won “the highest vote percentage in modern Conservative history” and “the most amount of total votes for our party,...

Radical leftist Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau promised to remain “boldly and apologetically Canadian” long after his decade-long term in power, expected to close Friday morning, ends in a video message to supporters. Trudeau is departing the prime minister’s office after surviving a staggering list of some of Canada’s biggest political scandals, including admitting to wearing blackface more times than he could remember, having no meaningful response to historic wildfires that burned through the dead of the Canadian winter, and saluting a Nazi soldier before the Canadian Parliament. Trudeau was forced out of office after a failed attempt to...

Former central banker Mark Carney, who was elected leader of the Liberal Party last weekend in a landslide vote, will be sworn in as prime minister of Canada on Friday. Carney will succeed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who announced he would resign in January, but then forced Parliament into recess so he could not be replaced until March. Trudeau gave a tearful farewell speech at the Liberal Party conference on Sunday and resigned his seat in Parliament the following day, causing a viral sensation by sticking out his tongue as he physically carried his chair out of the building. Trudeau...

Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre on Monday rolled out his “Canada First” response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, borrowing Trump’s branding strategy while insisting his tariffs on Canadian goods are “unjustified.” Part of Poilievre’s strategy includes faulting the Liberal Party of outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for doing “nothing” to make Canada less dependent upon the U.S. economy, even though the threat of Trump’s tariffs was painfully clear. “They’ve left us helpless,” Poilievre complained before debuting his own strategy, blasting the Liberals for weakening the Canadian economy with high taxes and heavy regulations that pushed Canadian businesses across the border...

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Monday he is prepared to cut off electricity exports to the U.S. if President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods go through. “If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything — including cut off their energy with a smile on my face,” Ford told reporters at a mining convention in downtown Toronto, the Toronto Sun reported. Ford doubled down on his pledge to retaliate by matching tariffs, noting the U.S. is a major customer of Canada’s electricity. “They rely on our energy. They need to feel the pain. They want...

Canadian wolves were released into Yellowstone National Park in 1995 and central Idaho in 1996 — but within a few years their territory and numbers had greatly expanded, along with their negative impact on livestock and elk herds.

Charles Barkley is no stranger to blaming President Trump for everything, but now the former NBA star is blaming the president for Team USA’s loss to Canada. Canada defeated the U.S. 3-2 in the 4 Nations Face-Off championship game on Thursday night in Boston. The win was extra bitter for the Americans, considering they had just beaten the Canadians 3-1 on Saturday night in Montreal. One of the many subplots to the game was President Trump’s joking suggestion that Canada become the “51st state.” In addition, Canadians had been booing the U.S. anthem due to the “51st state” comment and...

Disgraced Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took a shot at the United States Thursday after Canada’s national team beat the U.S. in the 4 Nations Hockey championship game. “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” the Canadian PM crowed after the game in a statement on X. It seems clear that Trudeau’s first comment was in response to Trump’s joking that Canada should become America’s 51st state. However, his last statement is at odds with the fact that a Canadian team has not won hockey’s Stanley Cup since 1993. It appears Americans have taken Canada’s...

Former hockey player PK Subban has been branded 'a sell-out of the highest proportion' by fellow Canadian Akim Aliu, who accused the ESPN star of siding with 'the oppressor' Donald Trump ahead of Thursday's much-anticipated rematch against Team USA. 'You are the perfect example of why people of color haven’t progressed at the highest levels of society... you're a disgrace,' Aliu told Subban in an explosive social media statement. It comes after the former NHL star shared a post from President Trump about the upcoming Four Nations final between USA and Canada. The game will be played amid heightened tension...

The Canadian woman accused of sending a letter containing ricin to President Trump has been identified as Pascale Ferrier of Quebec, authorities said. Ferrier was taken into custody Sunday by US Customs and Border Protection agents at the Peace Bridge border crossing near Buffalo, New York, where she is expected to appear in federal court to face charges. She was supposed to appear in court Monday, but her appearance was delayed until Tuesday afternoon, according to a spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office, according to the CBC.

A woman suspected of sending an envelope containing the poison ricin, which was addressed to the White House, has been arrested at the New York-Canada border and is also suspected of sending similar poisoned envelopes to law enforcement agencies in Texas, officials said Monday. The letter had been intercepted earlier this week before it reached the White House. The woman was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Peace Bridge border crossing near Buffalo and is expected to face federal charges, three law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. Her name was not immediately released,...

Last Updated on January 31, 2023 Quebec resident Pascale Cecile Veronique Ferrier, 55, has accepted a plea agreement in which she admitted to sending ricin-laced letters to then-President Trump and a number of Texas officials, court documents revealed. Ferrier admitted to sending letters laced with the deadly poison to both Trump and the Texas officials. She faces up to 262 months in prison when she is sentenced in April. “Ferrier was detained in the State of Texas for around 10 weeks in the spring of 2019, and she believed that the law enforcement officials were connected to her period of...

Justin Trudeau’s attempt to curry favor with his countrymen following Canada’s loss to the United States during Saturday night’s 4 Nations Face-Off has made him even more unpopular with Americans. The Canadian fans booed the American anthem at Montreal’s Bell Centre in a game that saw three fights in nine seconds and vicious hitting throughout. Canadians have been booing the anthem since President Trump enacted tariffs against Canada and jokingly suggested our northern neighbor become the “51st state” of the United States. The U.S. won the game, 3-1. Afterward, lame-duck Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to X to say...

Fans of the Toronto Raptors have become the latest group of Canadian fans to boo the U.S. national anthem during a professional sports game. The Canadian fans booed during the Raptors 115 to 108 win against the L.A. Clippers on Sunday. Raptors fans were not the first Canadian sports fans to boo the U.S. anthem in the wake of announcements of tariffs set by U.S. President Donald Trump. Last week, Canadian fans at two NHL games booed during the U.S. national anthem, and now Canadian NBA fans are joining them.

Radical leftist Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated on Thursday that he would allow the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Canadian soil in observance of a recently issued International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant against him, outraging leaders in his country, including from his own party. Trudeau noted that Canada was one of the founding countries of the ICC, which has no enforcement mechanism outside of the actions of members states, and declared that arresting Netanyahu was “just who we are as Canadians.” On Thursday, the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant,...

This would be the largest Attack on US soil since 9/11.”... First, there was an arrest in Vegas over a teen convert to Islam who wanted to kill Jews. Now there’s been another arrest in what appears to be a more sophisticated plot. Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, a Pakistani Muslim living in Canada, planned to carry out terrorist attacks against Jews in New York. There was an unnamed American Muslim also involved. During those conversations, Khan confirmed that he and a U.S.-based ISIS supporter (Associate-1) had been planning to carry out an attack in a particular U.S. city (City-1). Among other...

Canadians’ wages, wealth, and productivity are falling amid a massive inflow of poor migrants, yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to expand citizenship to the foreign-born children of the migrants who take low-wage jobs from Canadians. “That’s bonkers,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “There are tens of millions of people around the world who would do [the Canadian jobs] for room and board — who would do it for free and hustle a little extra money on the side to pay for food! — if the consequence was that their kids would all be able...

While it has gone virtually unreported on by the American corporate press, left-wing activists in Canada are waging an all-out war on Christians that has seen hundreds of churches burned to the ground. Meanwhile, American Christians are facing their own wave of persecution that shows no sign of letting up. The rash of church burnings began back in 2021 following claims from leaders of the British Columbia First Nation Band Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc that ground-penetrating radar had discovered a “mass grave” of more than 200 indigenous children. The grave allegedly dated back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries,...
