Front Page Magazine: Canada: Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland Resigns as Cabinet Crumbles
Trump's threat to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian goods over illegal immigration and drug trafficking has sparked a crisis for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Horowitz contends that the Left's radical agenda seeks to dismantle the existing social order and that their embrace of violence becomes more pronounced during times of political defeat. He warns that the belief in a morally justified revolution can lead to atrocities, making the insights in his work, "The Radical Mind," crucial for understanding the current political climate.
