VANCOUVER, British Columbia — I don’t know about you, but I prefer my political corruption to be as visible as a drunk uncle at a wedding. So when Donald Trump teased accepting a $400 million jumbo jet “gift” from Qatar, it felt like he was finally giving the scandal-hungry public the dinner theater they crave. Or was he? Spoiler: nope. ...Read more

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – “None of our business.” That’s not your uncle dodging a family feud. It’s U.S. Vice President JD Vance casually summing up America’s stance on nuclear-tipped tensions between India and Pakistan. Finally, a government official who knows how to mind his own business and doesn’t treat every foreign dust-...Read more

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Natalism. Elon Musk won’t stop posting about it. Vice President JD Vance won’t stop talking about it. Which is odd, because neither of them has a uterus. Or a clue.

Which is why we women on the right need to step in and help our brothers out with an intervention. Check yourselves before you wreck yourselves, ...Read more

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Just hours before Canada’s federal election, a man treated a street festival here in Vancouver like it was a bowling lane and his vehicle was the ball. Eleven people have died as a result, with several others injured. But sure, let’s make the federal election all about U.S. President Donald Trump.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – If you had told anti-globalist protesters from 25 years ago that their ideological heirs would be MAGA fans rallying behind a billionaire with gold-plated toilets, they would’ve shot their organic carrot juice out their nose in disbelief.

Back then, anti-globalism was all granola, gas masks and “Down with the...Read more

PARIS — Figuring out the future impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s new global tariffs has turned into the economic equivalent of trying to decode modern art: confusing, polarizing and mostly just a bunch of projections. Economists are squinting at charts like they’re Jackson Pollock paintings while totally missing the point. Maybe ...Read more

PARIS — U.S. President Donald Trump just wrapped up Women’s History Month by crowning himself the “Fertilization President.”

The claim is almost as unsettling as the time a guy at a soirée here in France casually mentioned that under Vichy France's Nazi rule, I would have been forced to reproduce — with him.

Both of these comments ...Read more

PARIS – How do you know that your government is useless? When it starts outsourcing its own job to you.

French President Emmanuel Macron isn’t one to let a crisis – manufactured or otherwise – go to waste. Now that Moscow and Washington are finally talking about ending the war in Ukraine, Europe is running out of time to squeeze some ...Read more

PARIS — Is Donald Trump seriously going to give Canadians their “Che-Eh! Guevara” moment and try to seize Canada?

Maybe the U.S. military could war game out how it could first hold the territory of, say, Old Montreal for more than a week — its pubs and bars full of belligerent sports fans with “Molson-grade strength” — before it ...Read more

PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron is leading the European Union’s latest panic-buying spree. Only this time, instead of toilet paper, they’re looking to stockpile weapons. Same irrational impulse.

Naturally, Macron is blaming U.S. President Donald Trump (suddenly) and Russian President Vladimir Putin (perpetually) for the urgent ...Read more

MOSCOW — US President Donald Trump thought that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was ready to walk down the aisle and say “I do” to a rare earth minerals deal with the US at the White House. But then Zelensky decided to play hard to get — swiping left in Trump’s face so hard that it’s a miracle it didn’t leave an actual mark...Read more

MOSCOW — There was a noticeable shift here in the last few days. Russians seem … lighter. Like they were just told that vodka hydrates better than water. And I’m not the only one to have noticed. American and Western expats here have picked up on the same vibe, and admit to a similar feeling themselves.

It all started when US Secretary of...Read more
