"Get out Trump" - Canadian Anti-Trump Song

Feb 24, 2025 | "Get Out, Trump" is a Canadian protest song set to the melody of Bella Ciao, the iconic Italian anti-fascist anthem.

Get out, Trump! Get out now, now, now!”, the song defiantly asserts Canada’s independence, justice, and resistance to authoritarianism. It serves as both a political statement and a rallying cry, emphasizing that Canada will stand strong and free against any external threats.

Menaced by Trump, Canada Prepares to Join E.U. Military Industry Buildup

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Canada’s draft deal to participate in Europe’s defense industry will bring contracts to Canadian manufacturers and help lessen dependence on the United States.

Canada is in advanced talks with the European Union to join the bloc’s new project to expand its military industry, a move that would allow Canada to be part of building European fighter jets and other military equipment at its own industrial facilities.

The budding defense cooperation between Canada and the European Union, which is racing to shore up its industry to lower reliance on the United States, would boost Canada’s military manufacturers and offer the country a new market at a time when its relationship with the United States has become frayed.

Shaken by a crisis in the two nations’ longstanding alliance since President Trump’s election, Canada has started moving closer to Europe. The military industry collaboration with the European Union highlights how traditional U.S. allies are deepening their ties without U.S. participation to insulate themselves from Mr. Trump’s unpredictable moves.

Will Trump Take Greenland? | Adam Boulton vs. Katie McFarlane

Mar 16, 2025 | "We've got territorial aggression towards a fellow NATO country, in this case, Denmark."

"Have you seen any implication that Donald Trump is going to send in the American Marines to Greenland? I don't think so."

Adam Boulton and Katie McFarlane clash over whether Trump is justified in trying to take Greenland.


John Bolton has done a wonderful job of holden this woman’s feet to the fire. Katie Mc Farlane is a notorious right-wing loon. When I used to spend a lot of time in the States, she was a pretty permanent fixture on Fox News. That says it all! In this video, she talks nonsense. She also dissimulates Trump’s imperialist intentions – BIG TIME. – © Mark Alexander

'Genius' Trump Proclaims Our Northern Border an Artificially-drawn Line!

Mar 14, 2025 | Jesse talks about the topic Donald Trump talks about almost more than any other. That pet subject for Trump is borders. Trump is a stupid man who has been quoted dozens, if not hundreds of times saying that if we don't have borders, we don't have a country. Yesterday, in the Oval Office of the White House, Trump said, "To be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. We don't need anything they have. As a state, it would be one of the great states. This would be the most incredible country visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it."

Mark Carney Sworn In as Canadian Prime Minister amid US Trade War

THE GUARDIAN: Former Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor becomes 24th PM and expected to call election soon

Mark Carney has been sworn in as Canada’s 24th prime minister, capping a sudden rise to power for the former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.

Less than a week ago, Carney beat the former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, the former government house leader Karina Gould and the former member of parliament Frank Baylis with a dominant 85.9% of the vote, in a closely watched leadership race. He has no prior elected experience and does not have a seat in the House of Commons, making him a rarity in Canadian history.

Carney is expected to announce an election in the coming days, reflecting both the urgency of Canada’s trade war with the US, and the awkward reality that as prime minister without a seat in parliament, he is unable to attend sessions of the House of Commons. » | Leyland Cecco in Toronto | Friday, March 14, 2025
