9 Killed and 25 Injured in Shooting at School and Home in Canada
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The shooting occurred in Tumbler Ridge, a remote community in British Columbia. The police said the suspected shooter died of a self-inflicted injury.
Canada was reeling on Wednesday, a day after a shooter killed nine people and injured 25 others in a remote town in northeastern British Columbia, the third-deadliest shooting in the country’s history that comes amid a wider debate about gun control.
Seven people were found dead in Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, including a person believed to be the shooter, who died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted injury, according to Superintendent Ken Floyd of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Two other people were found dead in a local residence that the police believed to be connected to the shooting.
Another person died while being transported from the school to the hospital, and 25 people suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, the police said in a statement.
Mass killings are rare in Canada, but the attack in Tumbler Ridge, population 2,400, was the second deadly incident in British Columbia in less than a year after a man drove a car into a crowd last April. LIVE UPDATES » Francesca Regalado, Vjosa Isai and Yan Zhuang | Wednesday, February 11, 2026

Canada and France Open Greenland Consulates in Show of Denmark Support
THE GUARDIAN: Founding of diplomatic outposts in Nuuk comes after US made efforts to secure control of Arctic island
Canada and France are to open diplomatic consulates in the capital of Greenland on Friday, showing support for their Nato ally Denmark and the Arctic island after US efforts to secure control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory.
Canada’s foreign minister, Anita Anand, was travelling to Nuuk to inaugurate the consulate, which officials say also could help boost cooperation on issues such as the climate crisis and Inuit rights. She was joined by Canada’s Indigenous governor general, Mary Simon.
France’s foreign ministry said Jean-Noël Poirier would take up duties as the country’s consul general, making it the first EU country to establish a consulate general in Greenland.
Poirier would be “tasked with working to deepen existing cooperation projects with Greenland in the cultural, scientific and economic fields, while also strengthening political ties with the local authorities”, the ministry said. » | Associated Press in Nuuk | Friday, February 6, 2026

Donald Trump is Having Secret Meetings with Canadian Insurrectionists to Fund a Coup

Canada Separatists Accused of ‘Treason’ after Secret Talks with US State Department
THE GUARDIAN: Alberta activists’ covert meetings with US officials revealed, outlining group’s increasingly emboldened efforts
Covert meetings between separatist activists in the Canadian province of Alberta and members of Donald Trump’s administration amount to “treason”, the premier of British Columbia said on Thursday.
“To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there’s an old-fashioned word for that – and that word is treason,” David Eby told reporters.
“It is completely inappropriate to seek to weaken Canada, to go and ask for assistance, to break up this country from a foreign power and – with respect – a president who has not been particularly respectful of Canada’s sovereignty.”
The revelations that far-right activists met US state department officials first emerged in a Financial Times report outlining the efforts a group of increasingly emboldened separatists are taking in their attempt to secede from Canada. » | Leyland Cecco in Toronto | Thursday, January 29, 2026
Imagine wanting to leave a first world nation for a third world one, where ill health in old age might bankrupt you, where approximately 20m people must live in trailer parks because they can no longer afford traditional housing, where up to 3 million Americans sleep in their vehicles because they cannot afford anything else, where between 530,000 and 650,000 American families file for bankruptcy at least partly because of medical debt. (That represents over 60% of all personal bankruptcies!) Noting, of course, that up to 32 million Americans simply cannot afford the astronomical costs of any health insurance at all, so they have to live without it. Then, further, approximately 35% of Americans, over 90 million people, live with inadequate health insurance, because they simply cannot afford the quality care needed! (Noting, of course, that in Canada, essential healthcare is provided free at the point of delivery.)
But apart from all the costs and negatives, Canada is an extremely beautiful country; it’s a haven for those seeking civilization on the frenetic American continent.
And these Albertans want to leave all that for the uncertainty of life in America? Unbelievable! They must be the Canadians who will profit from the casino that is Trump’s America, and who wish to assist Trump in breaking up Canada to realize Trump’s wet dream of making Canada the 51st state! — © Mark Alexander

Donald Trump Backs Separatist Movement of Canadian Province
Jan 26, 2026 | “These kinds of conversations by leading figures in the White House are problematic.”
Overt comments by US representatives in support of a separatist movement in the Canadian province of Alberta are “unbecoming and troublesome,” says former deputy premier of Alberta and founder of the 'Forever Canadian' petition, Thomas Lukaszuk.

Trump Threatens Canada With Tariffs as Post-Davos Fallout Continues
THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Trump said he would impose tariffs if Canada made “a deal with China,” though there is no sign that those countries are discussing a broad trade agreement.
President Trump on Saturday threatened Canada with steep tariffs if it “makes a deal with China” and insulted Prime Minister Mark Carney, his latest swing at the country since Mr. Carney pushed back against his policies in a highly publicized speech in Davos, Switzerland, this week.
“If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social. He referred to Mr. Carney as “Governor Carney,” a reference to Mr. Trump’s repeated insistence that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state.
There is no indication that Canada and China are in discussions about a broad trade agreement. Mr. Trump may have been reacting to Mr. Carney’s state visit to China last week, during which he agreed to lower tariffs on some Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for China doing the same for some Canadian agricultural products. The closely watched visit was billed as a crucial reset in the two countries’ relationship, but the trade agreement itself was modest.
Canada gave Jamieson Greer, the U.S. Trade Representative, a detailed preview of the agreement with China before it was signed, a senior Canadian official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to divulge details about communication between the two administrations. Mr. Trump appeared to praise Mr. Carney after the deal was announced. (“Good for him,” he said.) » | Matina Stevis-Gridneff | Reporting from Toronto | Saturday, January 24, 2026

«La Chine va dévorer le Canada tout cru» : Donald Trump menace son voisin de «droits de douane à 100%» en cas d’accord commercial avec Xi Jinping
LE FIGARO : Une annonce qui intervient, alors que le premier ministre canadien a fait savoir, la veille, qu’un accord commercial préliminaire allait être signé avec le président chinois, prévoyant une baisse de droits de douane.
Il n’est pas content, et il le fait savoir. Le président américain Donald Trump a déclaré ce samedi 24 janvier qu’il imposerait des droits de douane de 100% sur toutes les importations canadiennes, si le pays nord-américain concluait un accord commercial avec la Chine. «Si le gouverneur Carney pense qu’il va faire du Canada un “port de débarquement” pour que la Chine envoie des marchandises et des produits aux États-Unis, il se trompe lourdement», s’est-il ainsi exprimé sur son réseau Truth Social. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | samedi 24 janvier 2026

Open Secrets
Nov 15, 2022 | This provocative documentary uncovers a lost chapter in Canadian military history: how the Armed Forces dealt with homosexual behaviour among soldiers, during and after World War II.
More than 60 years later, a group of five veterans, barely adults when they enlisted, break the silence to talk about how homosexual behaviour "was even more unmentionable than cancer." Yet amidst the brutality of war, instances of sexual awakening among soldiers and officers were occurring.
Initially, the Army overlooked it. But as the war advanced, they began to crack down: military tribunals, threats of imprisonment, discharge and public exposure. After the war, officers accused of homosexuality were discharged. Back home in Canada, reputations and careers were ruined. For the young men who had served their country with valour, this final chapter was often too much to bear.
Based on the book Courting Homosexuals in the Military by Paul Jackson.

Canada and Denmark's Shocking Greenland Deal Leaves US Reeling
Donald Trump’s Trump Greenland Threats have detonated a diplomatic crisis inside NATO—and Canada just drew a bright red line in Paris. In this video, we break down how Trump Greenland Threats to take Greenland “by force” triggered a unified European response, pushed Denmark to warn NATO itself could collapse, and prompted Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney to publicly side with Denmark—then back it up with a concrete move: a Canadian consulate in Nuuk, Greenland.
You’ll hear why Carney’s language mattered, how NATO allies coordinated their message that Greenland’s future belongs to Greenlanders and Denmark alone, and why this moment could reshape Arctic security cooperation for years. We also explain the strategic stakes—from Pituffik (Thule) Space Force Base to Arctic shipping lanes and critical minerals—and why Trump Greenland Threats may be doing Russia and China a massive favor.
If you care about NATO, Arctic geopolitics, and how presidential rhetoric can fracture alliances, this is the story you can’t ignore.

Mark Carney Year-end Interview with Global's Dawna Friesen
Dec 26, 2025 | Global News National Anchor and Executive Editor Dawna Friesen sat down with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for an end of year interview to discuss a plethora of topics concerning Canadians ranging from affordability, U.S. trade, to climate change.
The conversation aired on December 25, 2025. When asked what about being prime minister has surprised him the most, Carney briefly touched on his previous experience working with Stephen Harper as a civil servant. “I had a sense that the job is 24/7, 365 days a year. It’s one thing to have that sense, it’s another thing to live it.”
While discussing trade negotiations with the U.S., Carney stood firm in his belief that Canada should not rush itself into an unfavourable deal. “Every week that goes by, the more that we are developing our economic strategy at home, the more we're developing those relationships abroad, the stronger we get.”
Friesen highlighted the cost-of-living crisis affecting many Canadians and pressed Carney on what his message to those who are struggling. Carney emphasized the scale of the issue is enormous and that it fundamentally comes down to facilitating economic growth. “We are doing a series of things,” Carney said, referring to cutting taxes while preserving critical public services, “and we’ll continue to look for others that help bridge over that period of time, but at the core is we have to grow this economy.”
