Mark Carney is escalating tensions with the United States, raising the possibility of an American invasion while looking to China and the European Union as alternatives to Canada’s traditional relationship with its closest ally.
Victor Davis Hanson argues that Canada remains deeply dependent on the United States for trade, defense, and economic stability, and that turning away from that relationship will not solve the country’s larger problems.
He also looks at Canada’s immigration, energy, defense, and economic policies and how its leaders brought the country to this point. Here’s more from The Daily Signal.
Ottawa — the capital city of Canada — has decided to rename its Trump Avenue in response to Trump calling for Lake Ontario to be renamed Lake America. The street will remain Trump Avenue through the balance of this year while a committee chooses a new name.
This comes as relations between the two countries have soured. Not only has there been squabbling over place names, but also tariffs and political preferences.
Trump, for instance, just moved to eliminate temporary protected status for thousands of Haitian refugees in the United States. Many of those refugees are now heading to Canada, rather than returning to their home nation of Haiti. Here’s more from Viva Frei, originally a Canadian lawyer, now living in Florida.
How the Deplatformers Became The Deplatformed (And Why That’s a Good Thing).

America is sick of subsidizing Canada. The trade war is grounded on that growing anger. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney needs to try to strike a deal, rather than waging a fight to the finish. He’s acting more like the globalists’ battering ram, not at all like the leader of a friendly, neighboring nation.
Carney must realize: Canada lies in North America, not in Europe. He needs to act accordingly. Here’s more from Victor Davis Hanson.
The Kremlin released rare footage of a high-level meeting between Vladimir Putin and Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, followed by their first trip to Kyiv this term and a comparatively restrained response from Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signaling revived U.S. diplomacy on Ukraine.
The script argues Putin views the American team as a more trusted broker than European leaders and notes a recent sequence of engagements, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s public Moscow visit and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s G20 outreach to Russia’s finance minister.
With Kirill Dmitriev present, Moscow described detailed discussions of major U.S.-Russia economic projects, alongside claims that Bessent is choking off offshore and banking channels funding Ukraine via Europe, the United Kingdom and Canada.
It then pivots to Argentina’s renewed Malvinas/Falklands push as Trump publicly and reportedly reconsiders automatic U.S. support for British sovereignty, recalling internal U.S. divisions during the 1982 war. Here’s more from Susan Kokinda with Promethean Updates.
Geopolitical analyst and President of the LaRouche Organization Harley Schlanger returns to the program to break down the agendas he believes are driving the wars in Iran and Ukraine. Schlanger explains why he sees these conflicts as fundamentally at odds with the interests of the MAGA base—and, more broadly, with the interests of the United States. We discuss who benefits from prolonged conflict, why diplomatic off-ramps continue to fail, and the powerful financial and geopolitical interests he believes are working to keep both wars alive.

Schlanger also shares his perspective on Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the former governor of both the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, and what his rise represents within the global financial establishment. We examine the role of central banking and financial interests in today’s geopolitical order, why Schlanger believes continued instability in the Middle East and Ukraine serves a much larger agenda, and whether the United States is being pulled further away from the anti-war and America First policies many voters believed they were supporting. Here’s more from Sarah Westall on Business Game Changers.
Canada’s solution to compete against the United States? They’re poaching some of our academics.
President Donald Trump has trimmed back grant programs, so academics are feeling the squeeze. And some of the most useless and worthless of these woke bums are now retreating to Canada. Canada is bragging after attracting 50 or so new professors from the States.
Will Canada miraculously reverse its sluggish economy and match the hectic pace by which the United States keeps adding to its gross national product? If you believe that, we’ve got a bridge to sell you — in Brooklyn! Here’s more from the Liberal Hivemind.
Milo Yiannopoulos spent a decade cheering mass deportations. Then ICE deported him.
Bridget Phetasy breaks down the full Milo arc, what his deportation says about the culture he helped create, and how Trump’s renaming Lake Ontario relates to it all. Here’s a new edition of Phetasy’s The Dumpster Fire.
