Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariffs if Carney ‘makes a deal with China’ The U.S. president made the threat in a Truth Social post on Saturday morning.

Economic bully strikes just as @mark-carney.bsky.social described. Who is advising and pointing the gun every day for Trump? @bobbyrae48.bsky.social @acoyne.bsky.social

Trump cabinet member weighs in on Alberta separatism | CBC News U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent commented Thursday on the separatist movement in Alberta — making him the highest-ranking member of the Trump administration to weigh in on the province's politic...

Alberta separatism isn’t about independence. It’s about becoming the 51’st state. Trump’s eyeing Alberta. Separatists are helping him.

Masked ICE militia can’t replace the Mounties.

Trump's latest Western Hemisphere fixation: Canada The president has intensified his criticism of Canada in private conversations with aides in recent weeks over what he sees as the country's vulnerability to U.S. adversaries in the Arctic.

Donald Trump a les yeux sur l’arctique canadien. Il en parle de plus en plus souvent en privé depuis quelques semaines, selon NBC. Il souhaiterait une entente et plus de coopération militaire. A surveiller en 2026.

No one is protected by “absolute immunity”. Not even a Vice President. The law applies to us all.

Lula & @LulaOficial • 53m
• Translated from Portuguese Show original
The bombings on Venezuelan territory and the capture of its president cross an unacceptable line. These acts represent a most serious affront to Venezuela's sovereignty and yet another extremely dangerous precedent for the entire international community.
Attacking countries, in flagrant violation of international law, is the first step toward a world of violence, chaos, and instability, where the law of the strongest prevails over multilateralism.
The condemnation of the use of force is consistent with the position that Brazil has always adopted in recent situations in other countries and regions.
The action recalls the worst moments of interference in the politics of Latin America and the Caribbean and threatens the preservation of the region as a zone of peace.
The international community, through the United Nations, needs to respond vigorously to this episode. Brazil condemns these actions and remains available to promote the path of dialnoue and cooperation.

Amid everything with Venezuela & Maduro and the Trump Regime's various justifications for its extrajudicial & anti-constitutional actions, a quick reminder that - just one month ago - Trump PARDONED former Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernández for his... wait for it... cocaine trafficking.

The Trump administration’s decision to sanction EU and UK citizens for trying to fight lies, hatred and propaganda is a disgrace. Big Tech needs regulating to protect the public interest. Bots, trolls and those seeking to undermine democracy will be celebrating this awful decision.
