🍿Organizers believe as many as 50,000 people could descend on Dearborn. There are posts circulating about a “Christian Crusader March” in Dearborn? In response, Christian leaders and pastors stood with Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and others to say and emphasize that Dearborn is a city of love, not...

Last year, Kim's powerful sister, Kim Yo Jong, conceded that the personal relationship between her brother and Trump was "not bad," but if Washington intended to use a personal relationship as a way to end Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program, the effort would only be the subject of "mockery."...

Once a byword for joyful excess, Havana has been hollowed by blackouts, departures and deep uncertainty about its future. There are so few cars in Cuba's capital that it is possible to cross the Malecon, the once bustling seafront promenade, without looking. At night, the narrow cobbled...

They’re already doing it and have been doing so for five months. They’re talking about stepping it up on their neighbours in advance of the U.S. Midterms and Trump’s claim that he has all the time in the world so he’s in no hurry…see the Mecca defence pact above. I’m assuming they can re-arm...

Yeah, why would they? Why would Houthis and Hezbollah attack Israel when they retaliated against Hamas’s Oct 7th excursion? Something something axis of mutual something? Nobody “has” to do anything…but the dominos are being set up. I guess the Iran backed non-state actors in Iraq are closer to...

It’s currently a stalemate between Iran & America…so not much beyond posturing is currently happening.

The 50% tariffs threaten roughly $20 billion to $28 billion in Canadian goods (ranging from cement to hockey sticks) with no exemptions for CUSMA-compliant items. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc engaged in high-stakes, last-second negotiations not in Ottawa...

So, since this Mecca defence agreement, how many times have the Houthis militarily attacked Saudi Arabia? A few? Maybe the defence agreement members are still planning a reaction…or waiting on Egypt to sign up? The Yemen actual gov’t? It’ll be interesting. Ok. When/if this defence agreement’s...

The prospects for something like peace in the Middle East suffered a fresh setback, with U.S. President Donald Trump saying he’s not interested in extending the expiring agreement with Iran and fighting flaring anew in Lebanon. Asked whether he would seek an extension of the memorandum of...

Or….or be aware of what’s going on, and what is being asked of both sides in what is supposed to be a “give & take” negotiation. Is that we’re seeing here? Or is it some else that’s more coercive and less negotiable?

US President Donald Trump approaches trade negotiations with Canada less as a traditional exercise in mutual give-and-take and more as a high-stakes pressure campaign. By leveraging imminent threats of steep tariffs—such as the targeted 50% levies on billions in Canadian goods—the U.S. strategy...

Yeah, probably, or outright lies. The thing is with the Trump administration where does one stop on the other start? Thankfully Trump claims he has all the time in the world, I guess, as Iran has decided to shift its policy from defensive to "fully offensive" due to the deadlock in efforts to...

“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump told Fox News on Monday, the second time he has directed such a threat at Muscat, a longtime US strategic partner that has traditionally served as a key backchannel between Washington and Tehran. The US president delivered the...

The latest arbitrary deadline to a gratuitous threat made by an untrustworthy president falls this week when Aug. 19 arrives and the U.S. does or does not introduce 50 per cent tariffs on a package of Canadian goods. Five sources briefed on the discussions said Trump’s section 232 tariffs on...

President Donald Trump has said the US will "substantially reduce" joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his "very good relationship" with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un. He also noted on Truth Social that South Korea had recently declined to join the US in the "denuclearisation"...

The lessons of Hormuz are not entirely unrelated to the lessons of the Gordie Howe bridge. There it was the Trump administration who took the shipping route hostage until Canada paid the ransom. There was no option for a win-win, as the Trump position opened with a lose-lose — the bridge does...

This weekend, hundreds of thousands of people are attending the Iowa State Fair — a major attraction featuring several days of entertainment, a rodeo and even a life-size butter cow that's been carved every year since 1911. Much like the Calgary Stampede in Canada, the Iowa State Fair is a...

Trump administration has effectively halted enforcement of and gutted the core domestic requirements of the Corporate Transparency Act, a key anti-money laundering law designed to unmask anonymous U.S. shell companies. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network...

…& All American Freedom Fries, from PEI…and mustard on its All American Hotdogs, etc…

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley said U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to hit an array of Canadian goods with new tariffs should serve as a "wake-up call to Canada to make some changes." Grassley has long said that CUSMA should remain in place. On Friday, he said Trump wants to "tweak" the...
