Despite all the fear-mongering and proclamations of an imminent "World War III" from right-wing social media influencers, it appears that deescalation may be occurring in this highly volatile situation.
Last week, President Trump gave Elon Musk the keys to the White House. Today, however, I have a feeling that Trump might be changing the locks.
Last night, in a Fox News interview, Laura Ingraham asked President Trump about Canada's newly-unelected Prime Minister, Mark Carney. His response quickly became a top Canadian headline, and eager politicians like Pierre Poilievre didn't hesitate to splice his comments and use them in an all-around game of 4D chess.
Yesterday, Ontario premiere Doug Ford officially placed a 25% surcharge on electricity being supplied to the United States. This was a move that Ford had been threatening for several weeks now, attempting to leverage the fact that Ontario supplies approximately 1.5 million homes located in New York, Michigan, and Minnesota with electricity. However, what should have been obvious to anyone who understands how Trump works is that this would be sure to blow up in Ford's face. And rapidly enough, it did.
Trump's joint address to Congress last night was full of many beautiful moments. But it was also full of several disgusting behavioural antics from the radical ideologues seated across the aisle from the Republicans.
The most consequential revelation from Sunday's Super Bowl LIX was not who won or how they won. It wasn't even the fact that, evidently, certain companies and organizations haven't received the memo that America has killed wokeness and rejected DEI. No, the biggest revelation was an indicator of the massive culture shift we're witnessing in real time. And as much as I despise wading into the cesspool that is pop culture, this seems like a significant change to discuss in the culture war.
Just as he warned a couple weeks after his landslide victory election, President Trump on Saturday implemented a 25% tariff on both Canada and Mexico, as well as a 10% tariff on China, which was to be effective Tuesday, February 4. Were the Canadian economy specifically to crash and burn, it would be instinctive to blame financial suffering on Donald Trump. But let the record clearly show that the one truly responsible for these tariffs is our own government led by Justin Trudeau.
By the evening of January 20, 2025, the day of Donald J. Trump's second inauguration ceremony, I was personally exhausted. But I wasn't exhausted from the busyness of the day. I was exhausted from all the winning.
Over the last year, the liberal Canadian media (which has been bought and paid for by the Justin Trudeau government) has labelled the opposition leader (leader of the Conservative Party of Canada), Pierre Poilievre, as "the Donald Trump of Canada." But what if the Donald Trump of Canada was ... Donald Trump?
Conservatives online typically are in one of two phases that are subject to change at any given point. The phases are "we are so back" and "it's so over." These two phases are also known as being "white-pilled" and being "black-pilled."
