Question: “On this 150th Canadian anniversary, I asked myself the following question: what is Canada? It may be because I am from Québec, but I am unable to provide an answer. I concluded that Canada is, in essence, legal fiction. It seems to me to be a country that exists on paper, but lacks any truly identifiable culture or people that unmistakably separates it from the rest of the western world. As nationalism is currently gaining strength throughout the world, how will this affect Canada? Will it lead to our country gaining some sort of identity of its own? Or will it lead to a splintering as regional identities take precedence? What will be the result of Canada’s status of ‘first post-national state’ as the world goes through what will most likely be a major geopolitical shake-up in the coming decades?”

Hot Mic Accidentally Caught EPIC Message Trump Whispered In Putin’s Ear – You Won’t Believe What He Said
Over the last week, media coverage has primarily focused on the G-20 summit and the meeting of the world’s greatest leaders. All eyes have been on President Vladimir Putin and President Trump. Especially the interaction between the two leaders. A Kremlin-backed media outlet called RT is insisting that Donald Trump said thank you in Russian to the Russian President. This was alleged during their face to face meeting in Hamburg, Germany.
When they sat down on Friday they faced a whole slew of reporters, cameras, and photographers. Video clips and eyewitness accounts could not verify or prove that Trump indeed said thank you in Russian to Putin. The White House has not responded to the Daily Mail for comment yet.
During his public remarks to various media outlets, President Trump said it was a pleasure and honor to meet with Putin. He proceeded to offer his hand for a handshake with our frenemy. The noise from all the cameras made it difficult to hear anything let along differentiate what he said. An American reporter indicated he heard the President say,
“We look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for Russia, and for the United States and for everybody concerned. And it’s an honor to be with you.”
All that can be heard from an audio of the encounter is Trump saying something that begins with the s sound. But that could mean a variety of different things. But that sound is not heard on any other audios only that one. The RT is not an outlet that should have too much credence given to them. A few moments later Putin reportedly indicated he was delighted to engage in the meeting with the new President.
Back in January the Director of National Intelligence called the RT outlet the Kremlin’s principal international propaganda outlet. Shortly after RT reported this incident a Vietnamese outlet picked it up as well and the rest is history. Now it has gone viral and has been reported on by American outlets as well.
Neither world leader was alone on this trip. Each of them had their own small entourage to accompany them. For President Trump that included Secretary of State Rex Tillerson as well as a translator. For President Putin that included his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as well as a translator of his own. First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner also accompanied the President on his overall trip.
The Presidents discussed everything from NATO arms buildups to the ongoing political issue in Ukraine. However, administration officials would not admit whether the President was seeking to increase the pressure on Moscow and despite reporters questions about the topic, President Trump dodged them artfully.
In reference to allegations that President Putin facilitated an interference in the 2016 presidential election, President Putin said the following at the Saturday press conference,
“[Trump] asked a lot of questions on this subject, I was able to answer — answered all of these questions. I think he took this into consideration and agreed, but, in fact, how he reacted to this — ask him.”
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson commented on the matter saying,
“The Russians have asked for proof and evidence. I’ll leave that to the intelligence community to address the answer to that question. And again, I think the president, at this point, he pressed him and then felt like at this point let’s talk about how do we go forward.”
CBS reported the following,
“Putin’s comments align with those of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who told reporters in a press conference Friday after the two world leaders met face-to-face for the first time that Mr. Trump accepted Putin’s assertion that Russians did not meddle in the election. Lavrov claimed Mr. Trump said, “Some circles continue to pump up the topic of Russian interference in the American elections though they can’t prove it.”
The worst mayor in the history of New York City, Bill de Blasio skipped a New York Police Department swearing-in ceremony to attend anti-capitalist protests at the G-20 summit in Germany on Thursday, according to the New York Post.
De Blasio kept his plans to attend the “Hamburg Shows Attitude” demonstration events under wraps until just 90 minutes before his flight to Germany took off. He is scheduled to be the event’s keynote speaker today. His sudden departure to Germany meant skipping the swearing-in ceremony of more than 500 new NYPD officers and has drawn criticism for the timing. Just a day before, Officer Miosotis Familia was fatally shot while sitting in her service vehicle by an ex-con with a vendetta against police officers.
“Instead of jet-setting around the world, he should be here doing his job,” said Staten Island assemblywoman and presumptive Republican challenger Nicole Malliotakis. “A police officer was murdered, street homelessness has skyrocketed and people continue to get delayed on the trains.”

BREAKING: Trump Just Rained Down Hell On North Korea – Here’s What Kim Jong-un Is Doing Now
The little dictator in North Korea has poked the American bear one too many times and thought he could get away with it since he recently coerced a couple countries to work with him against the U.S. Perhaps Kim Jong-un thought he was in a safe place for a few days of reprieve from President Donald Trump’s wrath while he was busy in Germany at the G-20 Summit. However, he should have learned from the Commander-in-Chief’s swift action in Syria that Trump will take a break from any dinner plans he has with world leaders to deliver retaliation.
The U.S. has had our military parked right outside of North Korea for a few months now and it still hasn’t stopped Kim Jong-un from trying to talk tough to our country and launching a missile earlier this week. The little dictator’s mouth is writing checks that his backside can’t cash and now Trump just dropped a massive deposit in his country to send a message that he’s not messing around with this tyrant anymore.
Vanguard reports:
The U.S. Air Force B-1 bombers have dropped “dummy bombs” near the Korean Demilitarized Zone in “show of force.”
The Air Force B-1 bombers, which were escorted by South Korean fighter jets, dropped the bombs in response to North Korea’s missile launch earlier this week, according to reports.
The Korean Demilitarized Zone is a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula. It was established by the provisions of the Korean Armistice Agreement to serve as a buffer zone between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea). The zone is a border barrier that divides the Korean Peninsula roughly in half, which was created by agreement between North Korea, China and the UN in 1953.
U.S. Secretary of Defence Jim Mattis had said on Thursday that Pentagon was ready to provide military options to President Donald Trump over the continued launch of ballistic missiles by North Korea.
“The military remains ready in accordance with our alliance with Japan and Korea,’’ Mattis said during a news conference at the Pentagon. “The North Korean launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on July 4 is a very serious escalation and provocation and also an affront to the United Nations Security Council resolutions,’’ he said. “We stand ready to provide options if they are necessary,’’ Mattis said, pointing out that diplomacy with regards to North Korea had not failed. Mattis quoted Gen. Vincent Brooks, the Commander of U.S. Forces in Korea, as saying America and South Korea have exercised extreme self-restraint in avoiding war.
Mattis stressed that the U.S. is trying to exhaust all diplomatic and economic options to end North Korea’s missile program, however, those efforts are wearing out quickly with the persistence of refusal to cooperate from North Korea’s leader. It can be difficult to tell when the diplomatic options have been exhausted because your enemy might be sneaky, or duplicitous in some way, and it’s the responsibility of a country has to try and determine fact from fiction. That’s not the case with North Korea who have been clear about their intentions by braggadocious come right out in the open and announced their plans for a fight. It doesn’t get much more plain than “American bastards would be not very happy with this gift sent on the July 4 anniversary.”
“America absolutely must stand up and protect itself, or generations to come will be reading their history books in another language, wondering why we kept quiet so long,” Freedom Daily previously reported. “President Trump has decided that he’s going to start his offensive by pressuring the United States’ trade partners into cutting off their dealings with the tiny dictatorship, in hopes that will further sway their actions.” He’s backing this up with the reminder that we can and will drop munitions at any time, just to show North Korea that they aren’t in control of anything, America is.
The U.S. doesn’t deal with threats after the fact, Trump nips it in the bud from the start, proving that we’re the most powerful nation in the world who cannot be messed with. It’s about time we treat North Korea like they are completely ready to engage in a nuclear conflict and prepare for that, rather than assuming they don’t actually have bad intentions, whiBarackcck Obama used to do with all of our enemies.
The U.S. and others are attempting to show restraint in the face of this mentally ill little monster, but that has a time limit on it which is running out. This dictator thought he could talk tough and puff up his chest to the U.S. and needs to know not to expect any small packages in return – this was his warning and next time he will get the horns for messing with the bull.
