Welcome to Trade Wars, the reality show that pits the mighty United States of America against the mouse that roared, aka Canada. How’s everyone feeling today? “Kiss my ass!” yells Ontario Premier Doug Ford. “Flunky! I will rename Lake Ontario Lake America,” claps back U.S. President Donald Trump. Insert laugh track, cut to a commercial for a Ford F-150 pickup, and check out the ratings — 76 per cent of Canadians agree with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to quit the talks. Everyone’s watching — what a hit.
It’s official: the US and Canada are in a trade war, a remarkable rupture in one of the world’s closest alliances. After Canada withdrew from talks last Friday, the US applied a 50% tariff on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, including wine, furniture, dairy products, cement, clothing, fishing rods and hockey equipment. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said today that Canada will retaliate with its own tariffs, as high as 50%, on $20 billion in American imports starting next month. US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has plans for 50% tariffs on Canadian automobiles, trucks and auto parts starting January 1.
As Canada waits to see whether Prime Minister Mark Carney can strike a trade deal with Donald Trump — or whether the U.S. president will slap 50 per cent tariffs on $20 billion worth of our goods Wednesday — another deadline is looming: When will the Conservative party figure out a path back to power?
Because right now, it is going nowhere.
Over the weekend, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked his country’s Independence Day by announcing the creation of a “massive” volunteer civil defense force. Calling India’s existing civil defense capacity “outdated,” Modi said the country of 1.4 billion people must protect the new targets of modern warfare, including refineries, the banking sector, or data centers – reflecting a growing view that infrastructure and the internet have become the new front lines of war.
Taiwan is preparing for the same reality. Last week, its government deliberately slowed mobile internet during its annual military exercises, simulating what civilians could face if China attacked communications systems. It marked the first time Taiwan involved civilians in such a drill, taking a page from Ukraine, where Russia has repeatedly targeted communications infrastructure since the full-scale invasion in 2022.

VIDEO ICI. Le Manitoba compte devenir la première province canadienne à déposer un projet de loi afin d’interdire aux jeunes d’accéder aux réseaux sociaux, mais aussi aux agents conversationnels générés par IA. Est-ce une bonne idée? Les détails avec Juliette Straet, suivi des avis de Tasha Kheiriddin et de Jacques Létourneau
L’atteinte d’une majorité libérale via les élections partielles et les défections conservatrices soulèvent de nouvelles questions quant au leadership de Pierre Poilievre, quelques mois à peine après avoir obtenu plus de 87% d’appui lors de sa révision de leadership. Avant d'entrer à leur réunion, des députés conservateurs ont toutefois rejeté les inquiétudes concernant la performance du parti et l'unité au sein du caucus. Tasha Kheiriddin, analyste conservatrice, et Dimitri Soudas, ancien directeur des communications de Stephen Harper se penchent avec Marc-André Cossette sur la situation difficile de M. Poilievre
La première ministre de l’Alberta, Danielle Smith, pourrait être en train de tracer sa propre « troisième voie » pour l’Alberta, en insistant pour qu’Ottawa inscrive un deuxième oléoduc vers le Pacifique sur sa liste de « grands projets » d’intérêt national. C’est un pari qui pourrait conduire la province à se détacher du pays – voire à rejoindre les États-Unis.
« Nous devons vérifier s’il s’agit d’un cancer. » S’il y a des mots que l’on ne veut jamais entendre de la bouche de notre médecin, ceux-là figurent en tête de liste. Je les ai entendus le 3 juillet. J’étais abasourdie. On m’avait diagnostiqué deux gros fibromes utérins, une affection assez courante : de 70 à 80 % des femmes âgées de plus de 50 ans en souffrent. Ce sont des tumeurs bénignes qui peuvent causer des menstruations abondantes, des douleurs abdominales, des ballonnements et des troubles digestifs si elles exercent une pression sur les intestins.
