Justin Trudeau is already getting it wrong on Trump

We’re going to be fine, just fine. That’s the message coming from the Trudeau government in the wake of Donald Trump’s decisive comeback.

Just so there’s no doubt, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland put it like this last week: “I want to say with utter sincerity and conviction to Canadians that Canada will be absolutely fine.”

Maybe it’s just me, but when people tell me they’re speaking with utter sincerity and conviction it leaves me with the nagging feeling that maybe there’s a bit of a question mark over both their sincerity and their conviction. As in: aren’t you trying a bit too hard here?

Why is Elon Musk becoming Donald Trump’s efficiency tsar?

Billionaire Elon Musk has been tasked with leading incoming President Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (Doge).

In a statement on social media, the US president-elect said Musk – along with former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy – would “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies”.

It is a role that the tech entrepreneur has arguably prepared for through his business leadership, and one he has spent months arguing for.

Immigration control will be central to Trump’s presidency

While Donald Trump’s most eye-catching appointment may be Marco Rubio, who is strongly tipped to become the next secretary of state, some of his other hires are just as revealing about the direction his presidency will take. Reports that Stephen Miller will serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in the next administration, and the announcement that Tom Homan will be the new “border czar”, reveal two things about a second Trump White House. Firstly, that the incoming president is recruiting from a deeper populist bench this time around; and secondly, that he is placing immigration policy at the centre of his political vision.

President Trump: The Final Nail in the Coffin of the Global Environmental Agenda?

Another year, and another ‘Conference of the Parties’ (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will convene. The 29th COP is meeting in Baku, Azerbaijan. It started yesterday and will last for 11 days.

My view of the previous year’s UN climate jamboree, attended by a record-breaking 86,000 delegates, was realistically downbeat (some would say cynical)…

‘Man of his word’: Jan 6 rioters expect Trump will keep pardon promise

Out of all of Donald Trump’s supporters, Derrick Evans has a particular reason to be happy with November’s election results – he hopes the president-elect will give him a pardon for participating in the 6 January riot at the US Capitol.

“A pardon will be life changing,” said Evans, who was a member of the West Virginia legislature when he and at least 2,000 others stormed the Capitol in 2021. It was part of an effort to overturn the results of the US election, inspired by the false belief that it was Trump, not President Joe Biden, who had won.

Donald Trump is about to send the UN into meltdown

The 13 months since October 7 2023 have had a clarifying effect. No more hiding in the murk. Many people with pre-existing moral weakness or susceptibility to disinformation about Israel have since Hamas’s butcherous invasion leaned deeply and proudly into a variety of anti-Jewish positions. Ivy League college campuses, in particular, have shown their true colours. Too many have pioneered a new model of student life as a cesspit of open support for Palestinian jihadist groups.

And they say we’re the crazy ones.

Trump’s new border czar Tom Homan vows that sanctuary cities will not stop him from deporting migrant criminals: ‘We’re coming’

There’s a new czar in town.

President-elect Donald Trump’s new “border czar” Tom Homan has a message for New York City and other sanctuary jurisdictions: Nothing will stop us from deporting migrant criminals.

“If we can’t get assistance from New York City, we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City,” he said on Fox & Friends on Monday. “Because we’re going to do the job with you or without you.”

Conrad Black: What a Trump Presidency Means for Canada

Contrary to widely expressed fears in Canada, there is plenty of room for the Canadian government of either major party to work cooperatively with the new American administration on most fronts. A couple of months ago, I had occasion to ask then-candidate Donald Trump whether Canada had anything to fear if he were elected. He said: “Your trade negotiators are better than ours, but all I’m asking is fair trade which is not a big problem with Canada.” He added that he knows the country well, has done lots of business here, and has nothing but liking and goodwill for Canada.

They’re like Zombies!

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.

Trump announces Tom Homan will serve as ‘border czar’

If anybody thought that Trump was just running for president to avoid prosecution (yes, a lot of Democrats did believe that!), his initial moves as president-elect should dispel that notion and put them on notice that he intends to win bigly.

Catholic Bishops Stumble on Immigration

America’s Catholic bishops are giving President-elect Donald Trump a mixed reception ahead of his second term. Following Trump’s overwhelming victory in Tuesday’s election, Archbishop Timonthy Broglio, head of the Military Archdiocese and president of the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ Conference (USCCB), issued a statement congratulating the 45th and 47th President on his victory.

All the president’s men: Donald Trump’s support from the manosphere is clear, even if it’s confounding

What do a mixed martial arts promoter, social-media stars, an attempted assassin, and a golfing legend’s genitalia have in common?

They all played some role in securing Donald Trump’s re-election.

Trump’s ability to win over men — particularly younger white and Latino men — was key to his successful campaign.

With the votes now counted, the influence of the manosphere — and Trump’s ability to appeal to traditional concepts of masculinity — in sending Trump back to Washington is coming clear, even if it is confounding.

The backtracking and grovelling by Trump’s biggest critics

Not since a “hot mic” caught David Cameron discussing Queen Elizabeth’s verdict on Scottish independence has there been so much backpedalling by high-profile politicians.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s victory in the US election this week, a host of Left-wingers and other leaders who castigated him in the past – probably assuming he was more likely to go to jail than return to the White House – have been rushing out statements, congratulating the Republican on his sensational win and saying how much they cannot wait to work with him.
