4 reasons China and other foreign investors may retreat from the U.S. China is reportedly telling its banks to cut back on buying U.S. Treasury securities.

Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reported Monday China is telling its banks to limit holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds to diversify their risks.

"A few critical trends are colliding," Axios reported, citing Trump tariffs, rising deficits, dollar weaponization and yen strengthening.

Europe is holding its Epstein creeps accountable. Why can’t we? | Will Bunch Europeans are pushing to hold Jeffrey Epstein's creepy pals, including billionaires like Elon Musk, accountable. The U.S.? Not so much.

"The Epstein class" is a global rot

In Europe, ties to Jeffrey Epstein are ending careers, sparking spy probes, and possibly toppling governments

In America, not so much. How the lack of elite accountability became the tipping point for democracy. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jeff...

ANALYSIS | An era of 'wrecking ball' politics: What the Munich Security Report says about Canada's moment of reckoning | CBC News The world has entered an era of "wrecking ball" politics, says the new Munich Security Conference report. The analysis builds on the case Prime Minister Mark Carney made during his recent speech in Da...

"Trust in the United States as a reliable, long-term partner is waning, especially in Canada, a survey for the Munich's security conference found. Two-thirds of respondents in Germany and absolute majorities in Canada, the United Kingdom and France say that the Us has become a less reliable ally."

It’s incredible how many headlines that focus on Jamil Jivani are prompted by Jivani personally feeding self-serving information to media outlets about himself or Jivani releasing misleading statements implying he’s assumed some kind of national leadership role

Justin Trudeau never killed the oil and gas industry The former prime minister's supposed hostility towards Alberta's defining industry is an article of faith among Canadian Conservatives. The facts tell a much different story.

Hey Albertans & in fact all Conservatives, please read this article by the National Observer’s Max Fawcett. It clearly & factually shows Alberta’s Oil and Gas industry has been significantly boasted by the Liberal Federal government over the past decade.

Jamal Jivani says he can't say yet who he's meeting with in Washington because he's still waiting for confirmations but they're all very high level people and that leaves me wondering if he's going to meet with the same Smithsonian tour guide Doug Ford met with when he went down to save Canada.

Trumpism's war on the truth is coming to Canada. We need to be ready The Trump administration has made it clear that it will use almost everything at its disposal in its broader war on the truth. If we're not careful here in Canada, we'll become one of its casualties.

Donald Trump probably won't order the military invasion of Canada. But continued attacks on our informational ecosystem β€” and the cultural and political institutions that support it β€” is a virtual certainty. It's time for us to shore up those defence www.nationalobserver.com/2026/02/04/o...

That is pretty bad, but I’m not so sure it’s a bigger scandal than child sex trafficking, and raping children. Have we hit the bottom yet?

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist Alberta's premier says she supports "a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Her actions tell a much different story β€” one that makes her position on the issue impossible to ignore.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ National Observer
-Max Fawcett

Yes, Danielle Smith is a separatist.

Premier Eby had clearly seen enough. Ahead of a meeting in Ottawa between the premiers & the PM Carney, Eby decided to call out Alberta’s separatist movement.

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.
