So in the end two-and-a-half years of Pierre Poilievre micro-gatekeeping the Tory party so as not to frighten the horses counted for less in Canadian politics than two-and-a-half hours of Tony Blair having dinner at Lady Rogers' agreeable Michelin-starred River Café in West London. Not a bad Dover sole, should Sir Tony ever invite you to join him so he can pitch you a stint as prime minister of New Zealand or the Netherlands. As to M Poilievre's micro-gatekeeping, here is a fine example of that from close to home: Two years ago the alleged "conservative" leader called the views...

Canada held prime minister debates on Wednesday and Thursday, the first in French and the second in English. The Thursday debate was, by all accounts, a more spirited joust between interim Prime Minister Mark Carney and his rivals from the Conservative, NDP, and Bloc Quebecois parties. Carney, an investment company executive and former central banker who has never been elected to anything, ascended to leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada and the prime minister’s office when deeply unpopular Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned in March. Trudeau’s departure, and President Donald Trump’s tariffs, revived the Liberal Party’s fortunes after a...

WASHINGTON — President Trump spoke Friday with Canada’s new prime minister as the US prepares to slap 25% tariffs on all Canadian imports — and referred to Mark Carney by his title, dropping the “governor” moniker he applied to predecessor Justin Trudeau. “I just finished speaking with Prime Minister Mark Carney, of Canada,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It was an extremely productive call, we agree on many things, and will be meeting immediately after Canada’s upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that will end up being great for both the United States...

250% for milk? 291% for butter? 208% for whey? 241% for CHEESE? Oh wait - those are actually tariffs that Canada imposed on the U.S. last year.

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...

The new duties become effective March 20, according to a statement by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council. Additional 100% tariffs will be imposed on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes and peas, and additional 25% tariffs will apply to pork and aquatic products

President Donald Trump threatened to slap a new 250% reciprocal tariff on Canadian lumber and dairy products, perhaps as soon as Friday, one day after pausing a 25% tariff on other Canadian goods.Trump made the comments to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, citing Canada’s 250% tariffs on U.S. dairy exports to the north.“Canada has been ripping us off for years on lumber and on dairy products,” Trump told reporters. “They will be met with the exact same tariff unless they drop it. That’s what reciprocal means.”“We may do it as early as today, or we’ll wait until Monday...

Justin Trudeau was brought to tears as he spoke of the ongoing feud with President Trump and the US-imposed tariffs that have rattled Canada in his final days as prime minister. Trudeau, 53, appeared at a press conference on Thursday in Ottawa, where he discussed childhood health care, but became visibly emotional while vowing that he’s always “Canadians first.” “On a personal level, I made sure that every single day in this office, I put Canadians first, and I have people’s backs, and that’s why I’m here to tell you all that we got you,” the outgoing PM said as...

President Trump announced he renamed a wildlife refuge after Jocelyn Nungaray who was murdered by a criminal illegal alien. Jocelyn loved animals... Nungaray, who mouthed the words “thank you” to Trump during the speech, had a right to be furious with his political opponents. But in her Hannity interview, she sounded almost clinically detached, describing Democrats as virtually unhinged from the kind of basic morality Americans should expect from their politicians — even liberal politicians. “They don’t stand for anything humane,” she said. “They don’t stand for us as citizens, they don’t stand for our security. They don’t stand for...

President Trump has accused Justin Trudeau of using the drama over tariffs to “stay in power,” following an explosive phone call with the Canadian prime minister as the war of words between Washington and Ottawa heated up on Wednesday. Trump once again branded Canada’s leader “Governor” — a nod to his claim that America’s northern neighbor would be better off as America’s 51st state — in the blistering broadside. He also slammed Trudeau for presiding over “Weak Border Policies,” that he said had led to drugs and illegal immigrants “pour[ing] into the United States,” in a rant on his Truth...

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a strong rebuke of President Donald Trump's decision to level punishing tariffs on their country. He cited the Wall Street Journal to criticize Trump, and call his decision 'dumb.' 'Donald, they point out that even though you are a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do,' he said angrily at a press conference on Tuesday. Imports from Canada will now be taxed at 25 percent as Trump's tariffs went into effect on Tuesday.

Was Chrystia Freeland's grandfather a nazi? Chrystia Freeland's maternal grandfather, Michael Chomiak (also spelled Mykhailo Khomiak), was a Ukrainian journalist who worked as the chief editor of Krakivski Visti, a Ukrainian-language newspaper published in Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II. The newspaper was established in 1940 by the German authorities, operated under Nazi supervision, and was printed on presses confiscated from a Jewish publisher who was later killed in a concentration camp. Historical records, including those from the Holocaust museums in Los Angeles and Washington, indicate that Krakivski Visti published antisemitic content and Nazi propaganda, including support for the formation...

The Canadian government has halted an inquiry into claims of mass burials of children at former Church-run residential schools – after not one grave was discovered. Claims of the abuse and murders of hundreds indigenous children have triggered arson attacks, vandalism and the desecration of about 120 churches across Canada amid an outpouring of national grief. The hysteria even reached the Vatican with Pope Francis using an Angelus address to lament “the shocking discovery of the remains of 215 children”. The Canadian government set up the National Advisory Committee on Residential Schools, Missing Children and Unmarked Burials to investigate the...
