If past performance indicates future results, then Canadians need to be worried about the Trudeau government handling the Trump tariff threat properly.
Many Canadians will remember that we went through the tariff issue with Trump in his first term and it didn’t go well.
Trudeau is less popular than Trump in Canada so don’t be surprised if Junior goes scorched earth on us.
Shoppers and businesses across Canada are expressing mixed feelings and showing little enthusiasm as a two-month break from the federal GST took effect on Saturday.
Lori Parker, the owner of an independent toy store in Toronto, said the sales tax holiday could be good for business because it makes shopping cheaper for customers, but the measure means more work for her staff over the holiday season.
“It does give them a break on costs,” she said. “But we knew from the get-go that it would be a lot of work.”

Canada’s Memorial to the Victims of Communism was finally unveiled in Ottawa on Thursday, but the controversy that has followed the project over the past decade continues.
Etobicoke Centre MP Yvan Baker was expected to speak at the memorial’s public unveiling at the Garden of the Provinces and Territories on Wellington Street, but no one from the Liberal government attended the ceremony.
“We are very disappointed that the prime minister cannot be here, or chose not to be here,” said Robert Tmej, a member of the board of directors of Tribute to Liberty, the registered charity behind the project.
How proud are you to be Canadian?
Canadians’ pride in our country has taken a dramatic dive in recent years, a new poll from the Angus Reid Institute suggests, accompanying a loss of emotional attachment to this country.
Take a look at the data, and why this might be happening.
Not a surprise given the Trudeau Liberals have done all they can to shit on Canada and Canadians.
We don’t hate Trudeau enough.
Enough already with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s faux he-feminist act.
All his pretty, passionate words about being a soul sister yearning to protect women and stand up for their rights amount to putting the wrong shade of lipstick on a pig. They’ve proven meaningless, deceptive, a pathetic ruse to get votes.
The prime minister is right, the prime minister is always right. How could he be wrong, he who is so virtuous, so compassionate and so sunny? And if you disagree, you are wrong, very wrong.
And so, we are faced with the tyranny of virtue.
If a federal election is not held until October, it is going to be a long, tiresome and painful 10 months of Justin Trudeau raging at both Canadians and Americans like a demented harpy with her talons caught in a car door.
For those who enjoy indulging in a little Ottawa “Kremlinology,” there’s been a lot of interesting buzz, increasingly in the open, about rifts in the Liberal government. The most prominent of those differences includes two cabinet ministers, who have perhaps the highest profiles: Mélanie Joly and, just this week, Chrystia Freeland.
Other disagreements are less prominent, but no less instructive. Last week, the CBC reported that Chandra Arya, an Ontario-based Liberal MP, was accusing one of his fellow Liberal MPs, B.C.-based Sukh Dhaliwal, of threatening him and aggressively accosting him outside the House of Commons.
She is focused.
“Albertans will go bananas.”
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith does not mince words speaking with Postmedia this day.
There are those suggesting Alberta start sabre-rattling and threatening U.S. President-elect Donald Trump with either completely cutting off Alberta oil to the Americans or taxing the oil heading south.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s four-day trip to Europe in June 2024 came with a hefty price tag for Canadian taxpayers, with records showing $71,000 spent on food alone, including $43,000 on inflight catering.
The total cost of the trip, which included stops in Italy and Switzerland for a G7 Summit and a Summit on Peace in Ukraine, amounted to at least $918,000.
For all the good the entitled twit did he could have just asked someone to mail him a summary of the talks.
As Canada’s economy struggles under the carbon tax and threats of a production cap in Alberta, federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has announced Canada will slash C02 emissions 45 to 50% below 2005 levels by 2035.
“Guilbeault is suggesting even more draconian emission reductions for Canada by 2035 and we all know that implies production cuts in Alberta,” said Calgary-based energy expert and commentator Dennis McConaghy.

Michael Higgins: Liberal government hate crime report pretends antisemitism doesn’t exist
“Hate persists when apathy prevails,” reads a new report on hate crimes by a federal government ombudsman who is supposed to be the “voice of the victim.”
Hate also persists if you just ignore it. For example, the report by the victims’ ombudsman specifically does not mention any attacks on Jews, Jewish institutions, or the alarming number of antisemitic protests in this country.
The Office of the Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime reports that there was a 32 per cent increase in 2023 in the number of hate crimes reported to police but ignores the fact that attacks on Jews increased 71 per cent that year.
This report is the product of an Elite which seeks to exonerate itself. Trudeau’s Liberals and the NDP support Islamist immigration, anti-zionist universities, schools and unions. Not to mention the demonetization of White Canadians under racist DEI and affirmative action programs. They kowtow to our enemies for their votes. They are criminals. Stupidly groups such as B’nai Brith embrace DEI as a means of working within the system. The system that assigns White people the role of perpetual villain as the apex oppressor of all humanity. Uh Huh.
When Chrystia Freeland rises in the House Monday to deliver the Fall Economic Statement – if she does – the country will be presented with a remarkable and disturbing sight.
The Finance Minister will read out a document that it is now known she does not agree with, charting an economic course she does not believe in, and that will repudiate promises to which she nailed her credibility just eight months ago.
After which, Justin Trudeau will in all probability fire her.
Donald Trump waited just three weeks after his election victory last month to restart one of his favourite hobbies during his first administration: trolling Justin Trudeau.
On Nov 26, he pledged to impose tariffs of 25 per cent on Canada, alongside Mexico the US’s largest trading partner, unless the country agreed to crack down on border security.
Cue panic in Ottawa. Mr Trudeau was at Mar-a-Lago three days later to discuss the issue with the president-elect and put on a brave face to tell the media the two men had an “excellent conversation”.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made another attempt to recruit former central banker Mark Carney at a time when tensions with Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland have risen over increased spending on political strategies, three sources say.
In recent weeks, as the government has struggled to overcome a 20-per-cent gap in the polls with the Conservatives, the sources say the former governor of both the banks of Canada and England was again approached to join the government, an offer which he is still considering.
Nearly half of all Canadians believe that mass deportations are necessary to stop illegal migration, new polling shows.
A Leger poll done for the Association for Canadian Studies found that 48 per cent of Canadians hold that view — just once percentage point shy of Americans polled who, with the election of Donald Trump, could see such a policy enacted when he assumes office next year.
