President Donald Trump’s vituperative reaction to Ontario’s anti-tariff advertisements — the ones borrowing a 1987 speech by then president Ronald Reagan expounding on the benefits of free trade — are unlikely to leave a mark on Premier Doug Ford, even though they could be blamed for Trump scuppering Canada-U.S. trade talks.

Wednesday evening, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's official X account posted an AI-generated campaign attack ad against his opponent in the New York City mayoral race, titled, "Criminals for Zohran Mamdani."

It ends with a protester burning an American flag and declaring, “Long live the intifada.” Read More

It’s an incident that tells you a lot about John Candy. He was hard at work on Only the Lonely, the 1991 film that would help affirm his credibility as a dramatic actor.

Leadership is about having a winning mindset. It’s about being pragmatic and putting your country’s interest first, above emotion and bias. Yet, our government continues to act to the detriment of Canadian interests when it comes to its Middle East policy. Mark Carney’s recent statement affirming that he would honour the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant should Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu land on our soil is detrimental to Canada's national interests.
