Joe Adam George: Khalistani-Hindu clashes product of Trudeau’s post-national experiment

In what has now become a common theme in the streets of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s post-national Canada, chaos and extremist violence marred an otherwise joyous occasion for the Canadian-Indian community celebrating Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas — festivals that symbolize the spiritual victory of good over evil and fighting injustice and oppression.

Kelly McParland: Trudeau Liberals stick to same path Democrats took to defeat

Experience has taught Canadians our prime minister is resistant to opinions that differ from his own or his tight coterie of loyal advisors.

For an extended period he has been pressured to shift voters off their sense it’s time for new faces in Ottawa, an urge that has Liberals regularly trailing Conservatives by 15-20 points.

Doug Ford calls Mexico ‘backdoor’ for Chinese goods, proposes Canada-U.S. free trade deal

Doug Ford

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Mexico to match trade tariffs on Chinese imports and says Canada and the United States should consider striking their own bilateral free trade deal if that doesn’t happen.

The Premier’s missive at Mexico comes after Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency with a promise to reopen the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement when it is up for review in 2026. The USMCA replaced the North America free-trade agreement and came into effect in 2020.

Trudeau Lickspittle says ‘not everyone is welcome’ in response to concerns about Trump deportation plan … Bullshlit

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says the federal government is ready to work with the United States as it implements president-elect Donald Trump’s promises to crack down on immigration, but he wants anyone hoping to come to Canada to do so legally.

Ottawa has been under increasing pressure from opposition MPs, the Quebec Premier and immigration lawyers since last week’s U.S. election to respond to concerns that Mr. Trump’s plans to deport millions of people will lead to an influx of asylum seekers coming into Canada. Mr. Miller told The Globe and Mail that any claims that the incoming president’s plans could affect Canada are “speculation.”

FOURNIER: Trudeau the irrational, asking the impossible

Canadians woke up Monday November 4th to witness two opposing national political forces on course for a head-on collision.

On the one hand, they learned that Alberta’s Premier Smith received a 91.5% rank and file mid-term confirmation that her administration was delivering on her election campaign promises at the United Conservative Party’s (UCP) annual general meeting over the weekend.

On the other hand, they witnessed Trudeau’s administration respond by demanding that the Canadian oil and gas (COG) sector reduce its CO2 emissions by 35% relative to 2019 levels by 2030.

John Ivison: Trudeau already has Trump irritated. He might soon make it worse

Donald Trump reportedly described Justin Trudeau as a “behind-your-back guy,” after the two fell out over tariffs during the president-elect’s first term in office.

As Trudeau continues to languish in domestic opinion polls, he may be tempted to reprise his role as the “behind your back guy” by attempting to appease the president on trade and security to his face, while sub rosa, using him as a warning about what Canadians can expect if they elect the Conservatives.

Rory Gilfillan: Our once brave nation now leaves the fight to others

In the last gasps of the 1930s, prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King made one last feeble attempt to keep Canada out of the Second World War. The policy would be called “limited liability.” Instead of supplying the soldiers needed to fight the coming war, Canada would instead provide grain to feed the Allies and train Commonwealth aircrews. While the policy was naïve it was at least understandable. In the First World War, Canada had lost 66,000 men and women. Out of a total population of nine million, this was no small thing. Everyone was connected. Everyone was impacted. And while we had fought valiantly, earning a seat at the peace talks in 1919, it hardly seemed worth the cost. Limited liability would be the last-ditch effort to avoid the gathering storm.

In Quebec, one-in-three respondents feel that immigrants should give up their cultural practices.

Fen Osler Hampson and Tim Sargent: With Trump’s victory, a Canadian foreign policy reset is more urgent than ever

Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the U.S. presidential election will have profound consequences for international relations over the next four years and beyond.

While domestic issues were likely at the forefront of most voters’ minds when they cast their ballots, there is no denying that many Americans think that the world has become a more dangerous place during the tenure of the Biden administration.

Élie Cantin-Nantel: Canada’s ethnic conflicts are growing. Trudeau’s ‘post-national’ ideology, immigration agenda, and diaspora politics obsession are big reasons why

Last weekend a foreign conflict spilled out onto Canadian streets as Khalistani activists, a small subset of the Sikh diaspora who want to see India’s Punjab region become an independent Sikh state, held rallies outside Hindu temples across the country. They were protesting Indian consular officials being hosted at their places of worship.

The demonstrations came amidst heightened tensions between Canada and India, following incredible allegations from the Canadian government involving interference and assassinations levelled against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.
