OTTAWA—U.S. President Donald Trump’s annexation threats should be met with determination to preserve this country’s independence at any cost, says former prime minister Stephen Harper.

Speaking Tuesday in Ottawa at the launch of his latest history book, “Flags of Canada,” Harper welcomed a surge in Canadian nationalism including, he said, from the current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

He forgets that for the past 10 years Trudeau’s government did everything possible to harm Canada and “Old Stock” Canadians along with their media minions and corporate cronies.

Consequently many would seriously consider a union economic or otherwise with the US rather than continue within the slow decline of our racist, genocidal white oppressor nation.

Harpers own record is not stellar. Under his watch the ongoing Temporary foreign worker scandal first blew up.

Islamist immigration was a feature not a bug under Harper’s tenure and Jason Kenney his identity politics front man.

And lets not forget Harper’s promise to defund CBC.

I just can’t get excited about a patriotic movement lead by the same elites who have worked diligently to destroy the beloved Canada we once knew.

Harrumph!

He doesn’t really care much about milk. No, this is all about the North.

This is absolutely the last time I will write anything about Donald Trump. Instead I will just sit back and cheer as this wrecking ball slays sacred cows both to the Left and to the Right. After Trump, the world, and Canada, thankfully, will never be the same.

Canada’s last-minute decision to cooperate with President Trump on border security and efforts to curb fentanyl trafficking was a key factor behind the president’s 25% tariff threat. While Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pledged to strengthen border security, a former US official who led an anti-fentanyl task force under President Trump’s first term has argued that laws in Canada hinder a proper crackdown on the flow of drugs in the US.

… “Definitely there was ties to Chinese organized crime, possibly Iran as well,” he said, adding, “The facts haven’t been released by your government…I think they know they’re sitting on a big scandal here.”

And there’s the dilemma we face. We know for a fact that the Liberal government lies about everything, big or small, 24/7.

Nations targeted by President Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum decried the measures as unfair Tuesday and threatened to retaliate in a growing trade dispute that threatens to further roil economic markets and strain the United States’ relations with major allies.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, the United States’ biggest supplier of both metals, described Mr. Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports as “unjustified” and “unacceptable.”

Mr. Trudeau said he hoped to avert the imposition of the tariffs — which will not go into effect until March 12 — by highlighting their “negative impacts on Americans and Canadians.”

Justin Trudeau met with U.S. Vice-President JD Vance on the sidelines of an international summit in Paris and raised his concerns about the 25-per-cent tariffs on steel and aluminium announced by the Trump administration this week.

So that should do it. Perhaps Vance will report back that Trudeau is a bit miffed and the chastened Trump will cancel the tariffs.

More likely, Vance will share a good laugh with the president at the prime minister’s expense.

Then again maybe not …
