Greenland's prime minister said Wednesday that “Greenland is ours” and cannot be taken or bought in defiance of a message from U.S. President Donald Trump, who said his administration supported the Arctic island’s right of self-determination but added that the United States will acquire the territory “one way or another. Greenlandic Prime Minister Múte Bourup Egede said the island’s citizens are not American nor Danish because they are Greenlandic. The United States needs to understand that, he wrote in a post in Greenlandic and Danish on Facebook Wednesday. The future of Greenlan

Canadians are waking up to a new and uncertain reality after U.S. President Donald Trump's deadline for economy-wide tariffs passed with no relent overnight, triggering a continental trade war. The president's executive order hitting Canada and Mexico with 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs, with a lower 10 per cent levy on Canadian energy, took effect at 12:01 a.m. ET. In a statement Monday night, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Trump's tariffs are "unjustified" and Canada will retaliate with counter-tariffs and other measures. Canada's response is to start with tariffs on $30 billion wo

Former prime minister Stephen Harper is taking shots at Liberal leadership frontrunner Mark Carney's economic record. Harper accuses Carney of taking unearned credit for steering the Canadian economy out of the global financial crisis more than 15 years ago. While Harper appointed Carney to run the Bank of Canada at the beginning of the 2008 financial crisis, he says it was then-finance minister Jim Flaherty who made the "hard calls." Harper makes the attacks in a letter attached to a Conservative Party fundraising email. He argues that Carney does not have experience with managing the Canadia

Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives chugged to a third majority government Thursday, propelled by his visible crusade against economic uncertainty emanating from the U.S., though falling short of the increased majority he urged. Critics said this $189-million snap Ontario election was unnecessary, dangerously timed as President Donald Trump's tariff knife dangles over Canada's head and called only to capitalize on good polling numbers, but voters did not appear too keen to punish Ford for it. However, they also didn't appear too keen to reward him for it. Despite Ford kicking off the campai

U.S. President Donald Trump says economy-wide tariffs on Canada and Mexico will go ahead next week as planned. Trump's comments on Truth Social today come after days of confusing statements from him and his officials. On Wednesday, Trump suggested that the 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs wouldn't land until April 2 — but a White House official later said they could still take effect on March 4. In his post this morning, Trump says "drugs are still pouring" in from Canada and Mexico and unless it is "stopped or seriously limited," the tariffs will go into effect "on MARCH FOURTH." Public

The number of Canadians supporting a petition against Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship has surpassed 263,000. The province with the most signatures so far is Ontario, where more than 96,000 people have backed the demand to revoke Musk’s citizenship. This is followed by nearly 53,000 signatures from British Columbia, 43,000 from Quebec, and more than 25,000 from Alberta. Musk’s Canadian citizenship has been in the spotlight recently after British Columbia author Qualia Reed launched the petition last week. Musk currently holds citizenship in the United States, Canada, and South Africa, w

Liberal leadership contenders will take the stage again Tuesday night for the English-language debate in Montreal their last shot to confront each other in person and shake up the race. The four candidates left in the race played it safe in Monday night’s French-language debate. Presumed front-runner Mark Carney had his guard up and stumbled the most in French. But none of the other candidates attacked him despite his perceived lead. Freeland even bailed Carney out of one jam when he flubbed a comment about Hamas and the war in Gaza. On Wednesday, Liberal party members will be able to start

More than 170,000 people in Canada have signed a parliamentary petition urging the government to revoke Elon Musk’s Canadian citizenship. The petition, launched by BC-based author Qualia Reed and sponsored by NDP MP Charlie Angus, is currently being reviewed by the House of Commons. The petition claims that Elon Musk has engaged in activities that are detrimental to Canada’s national interest. It accuses the tech billionaire of supporting policies of President Donald Trump that undermine Canadian sovereignty, as Musk is one of Trump's top advisers. Born in South Africa, Musk obtained Cana

Canada defeated its archrival the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations Face-Off final on Thursday night in what was an emotionally-charged affair for players and fans alike. The rematch between the two sides was intense, although it did not consist of three fights in the opening nine seconds, as the preliminary round game in Montreal did last Saturday, a 3-1 win for the Americans. Connor McDavid scored the game winner, while Nathan MacKinnon and Sam Bennett scored in regulation for Canada. Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson replied for the U.S. The Canadian national anthem was booed l
