Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said that after decades of partnership with the United States, close economic ties between the two countries have become a “weakness” that must be corrected.

Carney gave remarks on Canada’s relationship with the US in a 10-minute video on Sunday, in which he signalled that Canada must move away from excessive reliance on any one country.

The warning comes after Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow was attacked overnight. No one was injured and minor smoke damage was reported.

The incident comes amid a series of arson and attempted arson attacks on Jewish property over the past month, including a former charity building in Hendon that counter‑terrorism police are treating as an antisemitic hate crime.

Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis described the latest attack as "cowardly" while Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was appalled and that "visible policing" would be increased.

Sir Ephraim wrote on social media: "Last night yet another synagogue, this time in Kenton, was targeted in a cowardly arson attack.

"It follows the attack in Finchley on Wednesday and the attempted attack on what was the Jewish Futures building in Hendon on Friday night, making three Jewish sites attacked in London in less than a week."

The Met said counter terrorism officers were investigating the latest attack as well as ones on a Persian language media organisation and ambulances belonging to a Jewish charity set alight in Golders Green last month.

Sir Ephraim added: "A sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community of the UK is gathering momentum.

"This sustained attack on our community's ability to worship and live in safety is an attack on the values that bind us all together.

"Thank God, no lives have been lost, but we cannot, and must not, wait for that to change before we understand just how dangerous this moment is for all of our society."

On social media, Sir Keir wrote: "This is abhorrent and it will not be tolerated. Attacks on our Jewish community are attacks on Britain.

Canada’s fallout with the United States over the Trump administration’s tariff policy has forced it to forge a new path that will swap its deep economic and security ties with Washington for internal development and other relationships abroad.

Hello everyone, it's been like a month since anything happened. I have been very busy re-building UpVote, now at first glance you might not notice any changes, however I can assure you the change is huge.

Posting is made easier, the feed is now an all in one feed, no need to click to another page, just expand while browsing through the feed, with the post links directly linking to the source.

Now for the new UpVoting system, I found that the generic UpVote button was just to like other sites, so I had adopted my own approach, posts are tracked so each time someone engages by way of clicking it counts as upvoting that post, the system tracks this and popular content rises to the Top opens, as I expand and include discussions this will also become a filter point.

I have lots of back end, behind the wall stuff to do however the site functions and works. Get posting and enjoy!

Announcement of deal met with relief and calls for strait of Hormuz to be reopened and permanent end to hostilities.

The US and Iran agreed a two-week conditional ceasefire on Tuesday, including a temporary reopening of the strait of Hormuz, after last-minute diplomacy from Pakistan. The Israeli military said on Wednesday it was continuing “fighting and ground operations” in its war against the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, despite a statement from Pakistan that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire.

Israel trumpeted hitting 100 targets in the space of 10 minuets in Lebanon on Wednesday. The Iranians are threatening to hit back unless the attacks stop.

The war just keeps on going, will it ever stop?
