Fox News: Canadian PM Carney to meet Trump at White House after election influenced by annexation threats
In the recent Canadian election, Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal Party secured a fourth consecutive term, aided by President Trump's controversial remarks about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state. Analysts suggest that Trump's involvement shifted public sentiment, positioning Carney as a stabilizing figure amidst fears.

The Federalist: The Tradwife’s ‘Mental Stimulation’ Paradox
MAGA influencer Emily Wilson sparked controversy by criticizing right-wing women for promoting the traditional homemaker lifestyle, claiming it lacks mental stimulation. Her comments were met with backlash, suggesting that being a stay-at-home mom is not a trap but a fulfilling role.
The debate highlights the paradox of traditional motherhood, which can be both challenging and mundane. Critics argue that Wilson's perspective reflects her own singleness and lack of understanding of the complexities of motherhood. Ultimately, the notion of a "MAGA Civil War" is dismissed, as many women, regardless of their work status, understand the value of their roles.
