Exclusive: Blink49 Studios has secured rights to adapt the debut novel of Eliza Reid, Iceland’s former First Lady, as a TV series.
The Fifth Season-backed company is working with Icelandic co-producer Truenorth and writer Lynne Kamm (Plan B) to adapt Death on the Island as a six-part show.
Billed as a “twist-filled mystery thriller,” Death on the Island is set in the high-stakes world of diplomacy. Per the synopsis, “When the Canadian ambassador’s deputy collapses at a remote Icelandic soirée, suspicions swirl, and his wife, Jane Shearer, decides to take matters into her own hands.
“Partnering with an ambitious young Icelandic detective, Jane uncovers a web of secrets, corruption, and betrayal stretching from Reykjavik’s elite to the heart of her own marriage. As the danger mounts and the truth threatens powerful interests, Jane must choose: protect the illusion or risk everything to unmask a killer.”

At sundown, the night before Monday’s federal election, Canadian Prime Minister and Liberal candidate Mark Carney paid his respects to the 11 killed in East Vancouver the night before, when a mentally ill man drove his SUV through a crowd of Filipino-Canadians celebrating Lapu-Lapu Day.
He stood with his wife and British Columbia Premier David Eby as the mourners sang ‘Amazing Grace.’ There was sorrow, but no one started blaming immigrants or some ‘other’ for the incomprehensible mayhem. A continent away, Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre said a prayer for the lost.

Canadian voters have given the governing Liberals, led by owlish central banker and businessman Mark Carney, a fourth term after a snap parliamentary election prompted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to take over Canada.
On Monday night, decision desks at major Canadian broadcasters like CBC, CTV and Global News made projections that the Liberals would form the next government soon after 10 p.m., when polls in British Columbia closed. However, decision desks at major TV networks stopped short of projecting whether Carney, voted in as Canada’s next leader, would see his Liberals win an outright majority or would end the election with a minority government and needing coalition partners to govern.
In the early hours of Tuesday, as vote counting was paused until later in the day, the Liberals had been elected or were leading in 168 seats, with 172 seats required to form a majority. Finally, late afternoon on Tuesday,...

(Updated, with more details and results) In a near unprecedented political comeback and a very clear elbows up to Donald Trump and his tariffs, Canada’s ruling Liberals will continue to reign following tonight’s Great North election results.
While the incumbents were once presumed heading for a huge defeat when Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister, the now Mark Carney-led Liberals secured a minority government early Monday in Canada’s 343-seat Parliament. The Election Day comes on what is also a day of mourning in Canada after the horrific killing of 11 people and the wounding of dozens at a Vancouver street festival this weekend.
That’s a fourth consecutive term for the Liberals, who have ruled Canada for most of the bilingual country’s 158-year history. Getting a little tighter than expected for the Liberals in the first results that came in from Atlantic Canada, the election was essentially...

As Canadians vote today in a national election dominated by Donald Trump and tariffs, Potus this morning once again urged the Great North to join America, and oddly put himself on the ballot.
While still silent on the fatal tragedy in Vancouver that saw 11 people killed and dozens injured as a car intentionally drove into a festival crowd, a typically factually challenged Trump took to his Truth Social Monday to urge Canadians to give up their sovereignty.
“Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, Quadruple in size, With Zero Tariffs Or Taxes, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st.

As Mike Myers has returned to Saturday Night Live in recent weeks to play Elon Musk, the Canadian comedian has also used his time on the NBC sketch comedy show to support his native country, particularly as President Trump has imposed tariffs and expressed a desire to make Canada America’s 51st state.
At the end of the March 1 episode, Myers proudly showed off his “Canada Is Not for Sale” T-shirt and mouthed “Elbows up” into the camera, twice. In a subsequent appearance, he sported a “Canadian Tire” shirt during the “goodnights” segment at the end of the episode.
The initial act of sartorial diplomacy, Myers said, came as he “got angrier and angrier” thinking about Trump’s comments and tariffs and acted from his heart.

Trump Rhetoric Rallies Canadians
Poilievre implosion: Ahead of the Canadian election on April 28, I took a deep dive into how media and culture have unexpectedly played a significant role in a rollercoaster race. Admittedly, perhaps not as much of a role as Donald Trump, whose constant goading of his northern neighbor has managed to enrage almost the entire country. His tariffs, in part, led to Liberal Prime Minister and election candidate Mark Carney to pledge major support for Canada’s public broadcaster, CBC/Radio-Canada, and turn what is usually a lesser battle zone into one that’s becoming a major talking point. The Liberals under Justin Trudeau...

Canada goes to the polls on April 28, and when its TV production community hits the voting booths, they’ll be doing so with a sense of renewed optimism. That’s all down to an unexpected source: Donald Trump.
A few months ago, Conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre was expecting a big majority win, maybe even a landslide, as favor turned against Justin Trudeau and his left-leaning Liberals. Poilievre had made clear he would enact wide-scale change at the CBC and target other cultural institutions that didn’t fit with his Trump-lite version of right-wing politics. Voters broadly seemed to like it.
Now, with less than two weeks until voting, it is the Liberals that appear set for a majority, thanks to a surge of patriotism born out of President Trump’s goading of the U.S.’s northern neighbor and his plans to turn it into the “51st state.” The...

Wednesday’s primetime debate between the leaders of the five main political parties in the Great North has changed its start time to avoid clashing with a hockey game that could lurch the Montreal Canadiens into this year’s NHL playoffs.
Originally set to kick off at 8 pm Et in the Quebec metropolis and seen live across Canada, the meeting between newbie Pm and Liberal leader Mark Carney, Conservative chief Pierre Poilievre and the heads of the New Democratic Party, the separatist Bloc Québécois and the Green Party will now face off in French at 6 pm Et.

Exclusive: A wave of Canadian national pride that has resulted from Donald Trump’s “51st state” jibes is extending to its TV and film sectors, it appears.
Deadline has seen an advanced preview of polling released today by the Canadian Media Producers Association (Cmpa), which reveals 91% of Canadians believe Canadian culture and identity must be protected, especially “in contrast to the influence of the United States.” Furthermore, those polled want local content to be controlled by Canadians, rather than U.S. companies.
Ahead of the snap election called by Mark Carney earlier this year, just under two-thirds (58%) said they would support a political party that champions Canadian identity by backing the cultural industries. Only 3% said it would make them less likely to do so.
That finding, in theory, plays into the hands of the ruling Liberal Party, which earlier this month pledged to invest an initial C$150M ($108M) in...

Toronto, Ontario — Donald Trump is losing an election in a landslide — in Canada. After a decade under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Canada was ready to move on from his center-left Liberal Party. It seemed inevitable that my homeland was about to elect a new conservative government and perhaps redefine the idea of what it means to be Canadian — an identity that mostly starts with the premise of not being American.

Skating even deeper into Canadian politics, Wayne’s World star Mike Myers today officially endorsed incumbent Prime Minister Mark Carney, bodychecked Conservative Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre & robustly flew the Maple Leaf flag in the face of Donald Trump.
In the second campaign ad in just over as many days with a Team Canada hockey jersey wearing Myers and Carney patriotically chatting rink side, the longtime US resident told the new Pm how much he hates “bullies.”
Without mentioning the tariff imposing and sovereignty threatening Donald Trump by name, Myers goes on to say” “This is what I can’t stand in the world, and we’re the country that stands up to bullies.’ After a “yeah” from former Bank of Canada and former Bank of England boss Carney, the ex-SNL cast member adds: “I hope, and I know that you will, but I hope we continue to be the good guys.

Mike Myers is appearing in an ad for Canada’s Liberal party that supports new Prime Minster Mark Carney and throws some shade at U.S. President Donald Trump.
In the ad, Myers and Carney are chatting inside a hockey rink wearing red and white jerseys that say “Canada,” with a Canadian flag hanging on the wall behind them.
Carney, who posted the ad on his X (formerly Twitter) account, asks the actor what he’s doing at the rink.
“I just thought I’d come up and check on things,” Myers replies.
“You live in the States,” Carney says.
“Yeah, but I’ll always be Canadian,” Myers responds.
Carney again notes that Myers lives in the U.S. and then proceeds to give him a pop quiz on various aspects of Canadian culture, including the characters on children’s TV show Mr. Dressup, the capital of Saskatchewan and what...

There is a secret offer in the works that King Charles wants to extend to President Trump that could make the U.S. “royal” again.
When Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer delivered a letter from the King to Trump last month, the president said that the King was
“a beautiful man, a wonderful man.”
Trump Was Reportedly Angry That King Charles Welcomed Zelensky And Felt “Less Special” About His Upcoming State Visit
However, when Trump saw pictures of the King with Ukrainian President Zelensky, it made him feel “less special” about the monarch’s invitation to come to Balmoral for a second state visit. Trump was reportedly furious that Charles hosted Zelensky in Sandringham.
The King’s show of solidarity came after the ridiculous meltdown Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance had at the Oval Office a couple of weeks ago.

Since this seems to be the season for sharing personal accounts of working under Graydon Carter during his fabled tenure at Vanity Fair (1992–2017) — all in celebration of the editor’s new memoir, When the Going Was Good: An Editor’s Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines, out March 25 from Penguin Press — let me humbly offer my own.
This is not another story of a Vanity Fair writer earning a half-million dollars to file three stories a year, which they’d report while living for months at a time at the world’s finest hotels.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted a final message to Canadian citizens, a bit of a pep talk amid Donald Trump’s threats of ever-more punitive tariffs and talk of the country becoming the U.S.’s 51st state.
Trudeau’s successor, Mark Carney, is due to be sworn in on Friday.
“I’m so proud of Canadians,” Trudeau said. “I’m proud to have served a country full of people who stand up for what’s right, rise to every occasion and always have each other’s backs when it matters most. This may be my last day here in this office, but I will always be boldly and unapologetically Canadian. My only ask is that no matter what the world throws at us, you will always be the same.”
Trump continued to talk of Canada becoming the 51st state during an Oval Office visit of NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte.

Amid a surge in Canadian nationalism after President Donald Trump sparked an escalating trade war with Canada, the Canadian entertainment industry has seen increased support for local content.
“It’s always been cool to watch Canadian films at the multiplex, but now with the developing situation in the U.S., it’s become imperative.

Janet made this claim about Gretzky in a since-deleted post on Instagram.
“I have never met anyone who is more Proud to be a Canadian, and it has broken his heart to read and see the mean comments,” she stated in this post. “He would do anything to make Canadians Proud, with his Love for Hockey and his Country.”
Gretzky, who started his hockey career in 1979 for the Edmonton Oilers, has recently faced criticism in Canada over his association with Trump. The president has made political threats about tariffs and comments about Canada becoming America’s 51st state.

Canada will soon have a new Prime Minister. And while we don’t know everything about him just yet, one thing we can say for certain is, he’s sadly not the “I’m crushing your head guy.”
Mark Carney was just elected to lead Canada’s Liberal party, replacing Justin Trudeau who resigned earlier this year. This will soon make him the country’s newest Prime Minister, because the Liberals currently hold a minority government in parliament — although Carney may not have the job for long, depending on the outcome of a federal election that must be called at some point this year, no later than October 20th. Sure it’s a little convoluted, but Canada probably won’t be taking notes from the country that elected the Ghosts Can't Do It guy twice.

John Oliver spent the opening segment of Sunday’s Last Week Tonight talking about President Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress last week and the Democrats’ response to it.
The HBO host began by noting House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had said before the speech that he wanted to “frame it in gilded gold.”
Oliver’s response: “This isn’t important, but gilding is a technique where you cover things that are not gold in a thin layer of gold to make them look like gold. So you wouldn’t gild gold because gold is gold already. It’d be like [Vice President] J.D. Vance wearing a T-shirt that says ‘unbearable bitch’ on it. It is simply redundant.”
The Last Week Tonight host noted that some Democrats didn’t show up for the speech, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-n.Y) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).

Oliver’s response: “This isn’t important, but gilding is a technique where you cover things that are not gold in a thin layer of gold to make them look like gold. So you wouldn’t gild gold because gold is gold already. It’d be like [Vice President] J.D. Vance wearing a T-shirt that says ‘unbearable bitch’ on it. It is simply redundant.”
The Last Week Tonight host noted that some Democrats didn’t show up for the speech, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-n.Y) and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.).

Economist and former Governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney has been elected to succeed Justin Trudeau as Liberal Party leader and Canada’s prime minister. The election comes at a critical time in foreign relations between Canada and the United States, as both nations impose historic tariffs and prepare for an impending trade war.
Carney won 85.9% of the Liberal Party votes. Over 150,000 voted in the election, according to the New York Times.
“America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form,” Carney said Sunday in his acceptance speech in reference to President Donald Trump’s claims that he will make Canada the 51st U.S. state. “We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.”
Carney continued, “So Americans should make no mistake. In trade, as in hockey, Canada will win.

Harry Potter-quoting Mark Carney will be the next Prime Minister of Canada.
Coming out on top today in a four-way race to succeed Justin Trudeau as the head of the ruling Liberal Party, former Bank of Canada and Bank of England boss Carney is expected to take office in the next week or so. As a digital balloting closed earlier Sunday, Carney received the vote of 85.9% of the 150,000 members of the Liberal Party who participated in the short leadership battle. The candidate was backed by most of the outgoing Trudeau’s cabinet, like Minister for Women Marci Ien.
Long a member of the global political and financial elite, Carney is a newbie to elected politics. He will be the one of the people in the history of the Great North to go straight into the top job without holding a seat in Parliament in Ottawa. In fact, the last Pm...

As an American teenager who grew into a semblance of political consciousness during the height of George W. Bush’s War on Terror, it was easy to notice how the post-9/11 period corroded our political culture and our grasp of decency in ways from which we have never truly recovered. One thing I’ll never forget is how so many people in the United States lost their minds over Iranians who once chanted a “Death To America” jingle.

Donald Trump’s desire to see Canada become the 51st U.S. State is something that has been commented on and ridiculed on more than one occasion. His idea, while ludicrous, is something he often relies on, even calling Canada’s Pm, Justin Trudeau, the “governor of Canada.“
But while Trump will be Trump, Canadians have taken a firm stance against his ridiculous rants and the Canadian government is not backing down when faced with the U.S. President’s demands. Now, the fight has taken on a new form, as a new satirical video has appeared online and you’ll love it (especially if you’re Canadian!).
The video comes from actor Jeff Douglas, who has revived his famous character known as Joe Canadian. Joe first appeared 25 years ago in an ad for Molson Beer and has since become a sort of pop culture icon in Canada. Now, Douglas...

A determined Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the American people, Canadian citizens and U.S. President Donald Trump directly as he announced 25% retaliatory tariffs on $155 billion worth of American goods.
It was one of the harshest assessments ever from the mild-mannered longtime ally on America’s northern border.
“Donald, in the over eight years, you and I have worked together, we’ve done big things. We signed a historic deal that has created record jobs and growth in both of our countries. We’ve done big things together on the world stage, as Canada and the U.S. have done together for decades, for generations. And now we should be working together to ensure even greater prosperity for North Americans in a very uncertain and challenging world.

Tariffs of 25% on Canada and Mexico, announced then delayed a month ago, that took effect overnight, hit stocks today in a broad-based selloff following a steep drop Monday. The Trump administration, at least so far, is not proving to be the boon many hoped for to inflation, interest rates or M&a.
The Dow Jones is down 729 points in late morning trade. The Nasdaq, S&P 500 and Russell 2000 are also drooping. Media and tech stocks, from Disney, Netflix and Fox to Snap, Roku, Amazon, Meta, Spotify, Live Nation and Tko, are in the red. Broadcasters are lower, most exhibitors are taking a hit.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted the United States on Thursday night, after his country won the 4 Nations Face-Off ice hockey tournament in overtime, posting, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game.” Team Canada’s Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal to give his team the 3-2 win over the U.S. in Boston. The game was played amid heightened rivalry after President Donald Trump said Canada should become his country’s 51st state, with Trump openly calling Trudeau the “governor” of Canada. Negotiations over increasing tariffs on Canadian goods into the United States have also caused friction. The American national anthem has been regularly booed by Canadian sports fans in recent weeks. Trudeau posted a video of him celebrating the overtime win, hugging friends in a bar while wearing a Canada jersey. (Credit: Justin Trudeau via Storyful)

Jim Carrey just made a list he probably never saw coming. The Bruce Almighty star is now one of 100 Canadians banned from Russia, courtesy of Vladimir Putin. The move was part of new sanctions targeting Canada for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s continued support of Ukraine.
Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the ban, calling out “politicians, business leaders, journalists, cultural figures, and anyone the Canadian Russophobic authorities consider objectionable.”
Carrey, known for speaking his mind on politics, hasn’t responded. But he’s in good company. The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood also made the cut.

Donald Trump told Fox News anchor Bret Baier in a Super Bowl pre-game interview that Canada “would be much better off being a 51st state,” as the president continued to insist that his social media musing of a U.S. annexation of the Great North is a real thing.
“We lose $200 billion a year with Canada, and I’m not going to let that happen,” Trump said. “It’s too much. Why are we paying $200 billion a year, essentially in subsidy to Canada? Now, if they are a 51st state, I don’t mind doing it.”
The U.S. does not provide a $200 billion subsidy to Canada, but it appears that Trump was referring to the trade deficit with the country, which is not the same thing. In December, the goods and services trade deficit was $98.4 billion, per the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

When it comes to protecting the border between Canada and America, the Great White North needs a strong leader who can quell the tensions between the two countries and get two birds stoned at once.
In order to end — or, at least postpone — an escalating tariff war started by U.S. President Donald Trump, yesterday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a series of promises to meet Trump’s nonsensical demands and prevent America from torpedoing its trade relationship with its northern neighbor. Among Trump’s chief justifications for starting this commercial conflict is his concern over the flow of the highly addictive synthetic opioid fentanyl from Canada into the U.S., as American law enforcement and border security seized a whopping 43 pounds of the drug at the U.S.-Canada crossing in 2024, which makes up a staggering 0.2 percent of the 21,889 total pounds of fentanyl confiscated by American border authorities last year.

On this week’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart took aim at President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and his plans to take over Panama and Greenland.
Stewart opened the segment with a compilation of news clips detailing a “new trade war” that could emerge from Trump’s tariffs on the EU, Canada and Mexico.
“The EU? Canada? Do we have any friends? I mean, Mexico, I get. Trump’s been hate-fucking Mexico pretty much since the escalator,” Stewart said, referencing Trump’s famous ride down the Trump Tower escalator before announcing his presidential candidacy in 2015. “But Canada? Ca-nada? We’re picking a fight with our most reliable and pleasant friend? The labradoodle of allies?”
Stewart then took aim at Trump’s threats to “take back the Panama Canal” and “use military force to take Greenland.”
“Denmark, Panama and Canada. We’re America! We used to fight the Nazis.

Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday to begin the process of creating a sovereign wealth fund, a move that he said may be used to help set up a purchase of TikTok.
With Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison in the Oval Office, Trump said “we’re going to be doing something perhaps with TikTok, perhaps not. If we make the right deal, we’ll do it. Otherwise we won’t.”
He said, “I think it’s about time that this country had a sovereign wealth fund.” He said that his Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, and Howard Lutnick, his nominee to lead the Commerce Department, would head up the fund.
Last year, Congress overwhelmingly passed legislation to try to force China-based ByteDance to sell TikTok’s U.S. operations or face a ban on app stores and other platforms. The Supreme Court upheld the law, supporting the U.S. government’s...

Trump acknowledged as much on Sunday, posting on Truth Social that could be “Some Pain” but it will be “Worth The Price” because it will usher in “The Golden Age Of America.”

Well, this is an interesting turn of events. There’s a new report that says Justin Trudeau wants to block Canadians from visiting the United States.
Or at least, he wants to discourage them from doing so. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Justin Trudeau Is Telling Canadians To Avoid The United States

President Donald Trump’s latest round of retaliatory tariffs against America’s top three trading partners has been met with scathing criticism from The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, which labeled the move the start of the ‘dumbest trade war in history.’
The Journal, known for its conservative leanings and deep coverage of economic issues, criticized Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China, stating they ‘make no sense.’ Trump announced that a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports, along with a 10% levy on Chinese goods, would take effect on Tuesday.

Exclusive: Sophie Grégoire Trudeau’s memoir-cum-manifesto ‘Closer Together: Knowing Ourselves, Loving Each Other’ is getting the doc series treatment.
The retired TV presenter, celebrity interviewer and former partner of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s bestseller has been picked up by Canadian producer Sphere Media.
Each of six self-contained episodes will feature well-known personalities from the worlds of culture, sports, politics and business, with Grégoire Trudeau using her interview skills to draw out guests and give them the space to candidly talk about personal struggles, challenges and truths.
The doc series will also feature professionals working at the cutting edge of mental health research, therapy and brain therapy. The tone will look to normalize and destigmatize mental health despite the scientific focus.
Sphere Media’s SVP of Development and Content, Kim Bondi, is leading on development with Sphere co-producing alongside Grégoire Trudeau. It’s early stages right now, so no network or streamer is attached.
