If you're wondering who is behind those Jagmeet Singh duffel bag ads on here, know that it's part of a multi-billion dollar scam empire being run out of Eastern European call centers. It's an absolutely massive problem and Canada is a priority target. cbc.ca/news/ukraine-call-cen…

Oh. "A Globe and Mail investigation has found that Republican political operatives were on the ground in Alberta this year to assist the separatist campaign in its bid to leave Canada, while harbouring their own aspirations for the province to secede. The Globe also found that when Alberta separatist leaders went to Washington to meet with the U.S. State Department, they offered up key assets from the province’s resource portfolio, including access to fresh water and royalties on crude oil, in exchange for help transitioning to independence." theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

Someone asked if I was ready for the fall and it took me a second to realize they meant autumn and not the total collapse of society.

No idea how common this is, but moving to Canada gives these US manufacturers: 1. Cheaper input costs (no US tariffs) 2. Better access to foreign markets (thanks to Canada's FTAs & retaliation against US exports) 3. No consumer boycotts

Canada posted its first current account surplus in four years, led by strong gains in goods exports, including energy products. Some of you are overly pessimistic about the US trade war; some of you are overly pessimistic about Canada’s ability to build and develop resources. Let me tell you that Canada will produce and export more potash, uranium, copper, oil, natural gas and gold next year and in the years following. It’s baked in already. The only question is how much global market share we will gain.

Chapman's Ice Cream has just done something EVERY Canadian should know. The largest ice cream company in Canada used to source fruit and nuts from American suppliers — for some, for over 30 years. Then, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian products. So, what did Chapman's do? 📷 They called Italy. 📷 They called Spain. 📷 They signed multi-year contracts with European suppliers. And the vice president said it perfectly: "Even if Trump wakes up smarter than yesterday, we're about to sign long-term deals with other countries — and the American companies that supply them will have nothing but their eyes to cry for." Oh, and on top of ALL that? They're COLDing their prices so that the average Canadian doesn't have to spend a single cent more. It's a family business. No shareholders. Just the Chapman family saying: "The least we can do is make sure Canadians still have the means to buy ice cream." That's what Canadian pride looks like. Next time you're at the grocery store — grab some Chapman's. Every scoop of ice cream is a vote for Canada.

New: In a phone call with me after U.S.-Canada trade negotiations collapsed, President Trump suggested the US had added conditions late during talks.  “That sounds like me,” Trump responded, when asked about Canadian officials' assertion about US late-stage demands. When I pressed, “So you don't deny it?” The president replied, “No, no, I don't deny anything. So no, they have to pay a fair amount. And if they don't pay a fair amount, we won't make a deal. That's fine.“ More on the broader effects of tariffs here: cnn.com/2026/08/25/business/…

This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10

As someone who left home in L.A. to build a life in Toronto back in 2019, Kawhi's return means a whole lot to me. On the eve of my first Canada Day as a citizen, I wrote about the player who changed the course of my life. theringer.com/2026/06/30/nba…

I’ve been investigating inauthentic online activity around Tulsi Gabbard for 7 years, and now hundreds of pages of leaked documents confirm much of what I found: that a network of fake accounts has been working for years to boost Gabbard and attack her critics. My latest:
