Poilievre accuses Trudeau of coming home empty-handed after Trump, PM hail ‘productive’ Florida meeting

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. president-elect Donald Trump hail their surprise meeting in Florida on Friday night as “productive,” federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Trudeau came home empty-handed for Canada.

Poilievre made the comment Sunday in response to a reporter’s question about the Trudeau-Trump three-hour dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. The pair talked cross-border issues including Trump’s threat to slap massive 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian products being imported into the U.S.

America’s working class is taking back control

For a generation, America’s working class, as well as much of its middle class, lost political power. Rather than build their appeal on class interests, politicians kowtowed to Wall Street, Big Tech elites, university ‘experts’ and identitarian interest groups. But, as the 2024 presidential election clearly showed, the working class still has the clout to decide who gets put into the White House. Their choice of Donald Trump was a slap in the face to the ruling class.

The border wake-up call is ringing — bring on the drones, helicopters and patrols

If you’re out walking after a bad storm, you’re liable to come across a few trees with limbs that are just hanging on.

One scintilla of added pressure, one strong gust, and the branch breaks.

This is the fragile reality of Canada’s immigration system today. The storm was entirely of the federal Liberals’ making. The next one will be entirely out of their control.

Trump maintains hard line on Canada after meeting with Trudeau

Donald Trump said he had a “productive” meeting with Justin Trudeau after the Canadian prime minister paid a surprise trip to his Mar-a-Lago estate amid fears about Trump’s promised tariffs.

Trudeau became the first G7 leader to meet with Trump before his second term amid widespread fears in Canada and many other parts of the world that Trump’s trade policy will cause widespread economic chaos.

But Trump also seemed to double down on the threat, which he has frequently linked to trying to encourage other countries to combat drug smuggling into the US.

Smith says energy can be used to obtain no US tariffs on Canadian goods

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith called energy “the leverage point for us to get to zero tariffs on all Canadian goods.”

When Canadian governments talk to the American government, Smith said they have to talk about their mutual interests.

I trust her more than Trudeau.

RCMP looks to redeploy 25% of eastern region workforce, including to border

The RCMP says it’s looking to redeploy up to one-quarter of its eastern region workforce to areas considered an operational priority, including to the Canada-U.S. border.

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump pledged this week to impose 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports until more is done to stem illegal border crossings and drug trafficking.

The threat spurred calls from premiers and opposition leaders for the federal Liberal government to do more to secure Canada’s border.

Poilievre suggests Trudeau is too weak to engage with Trump, Ford won’t go there

While federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has taken aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week — calling him too “weak” to engage with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump — Ontario Premier Doug Ford declined to echo the characterization in an exclusive Canadian broadcast interview set to air this Sunday on CTV’s Question Period.

“I’m not going to get involved in the federal politics between Mr. Poilievre and the prime minister,” Ford told host Vassy Kapelos. “They can jump in the ring, battle it out and see who wins.”

Trump won’t negotiate with a Prime Minister he sees as a loser-in-waiting. We need an election

It is well known that incoming U.S. president Donald Trump has an affinity for people he perceives as powerful. He likes reckless warmongers like Russian President Vladimir Putin and vile dictators like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. His cabinet picks include Tesla chief executive and richest man in the world Elon Musk; celebrities like TV doctor Mehmet Oz and Fox News host Pete Hegseth; and no-nonsense tough guys like Tom Homan, who Mr. Trump selected to be his “border czar.”

Inside Justin Trudeau’s surprise dinner with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a handful of his top advisers flew to Florida to dine with president-elect Donald Trump and members of his team Friday night.

On the menu: meat loaf and a range of meaty matters, including some of the most contentious Canada-U.S. issues that have gone unresolved for years.

At the end of the surprise summit, there was no indication that Trump would drop his threat to impose a massive 25-per cent surcharge on Canadian products, announced by Trump on social media Monday — a threat that, if executed, would have a devastating impact on Canadian energy, auto and manufacturing exports.

I hope President Trump concedes nothing to this fraud at their meeting.

Largest Illegal Alien County Prepares ‘Resistance’ to Trump

Eight percent of Los Angeles County is illegal. This is where 800,000 illegal aliens out of an estimated 3 million statewide (the real numbers are likely much higher) have been harbored.

And that may be about to change.

Canada can’t support influx of migrants fleeing Trump, must prevent border crossings, says former top aide

Canada needs to significantly strengthen its border, says a former chief of staff to Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, because it can’t absorb large numbers of migrants who could flee here to evade U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s pledge of mass deportations.

Peter Wilkinson, who recently spent 21 months as Ms. Joly’s top lieutenant and previously served as chief of staff to former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty, said Canadians should be deeply concerned about Mr. Trump’s plan to deport up to 11 million undocumented migrants after he takes office in January.
