Tom Mulcair: Donald Trump has a long enemies list, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is on it

Donald Trump’s election as president could have a profound effect on Canadian trade, manufacturing and immigration.

Trump’s icy relationship with Justin Trudeau could aggravate what already promises to be a very difficult situation for Canada, socially, economically and environmentally.

When Trump was last in power, he started making life much more difficult for asylum seekers in the United States. Seeing a political advantage in the contrast, Justin Trudeau famously tweeted #WelcometoCanada(opens in a new tab) in January, 2017.

OMG she breeds! Poor kids.

Incurable TDS: “We are all victims,” Trump convinced the angry and disaffected who were searching for acceptance and validation

“When terrorist groups or cult leaders recruit new members, there are some commonalities they look for: isolation, past traumas, social, economic or mental depression. And, perhaps most importantly, a sense of victimhood.

… Women, the system, non-whites. Choose your supposed oppressor and make your vote count.

A CNN exit poll on Tuesday stated that nearly three-fourths of voters said they were “angry” with the way things are going in the United States. And if you want to burn it all down, who better to fight the system than the victim in chief, the anti-establishment messiah?”

The Star contributor needs an intervention. A normal person would not produce such drivel knowing Trump’s victory was earned in large part by winning over Hispanic, Black and women voters.

Who exactly is the brainwashed cultist?

Canada preparing for influx of U.S. migrants facing deportation after Trump’s victory

RCMP in Quebec say they have prepared contingency plans in case of an influx of migrants from the United States after Donald Trump’s victory, as Quebec Premier François Legault and Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet raised fears about asylum claimants streaming into the province.

Mr. Legault warned about “turbulence” at the border, saying Wednesday that he expects a stream of asylum seekers from the U.S. and arguing that the capacity of Quebec to integrate new arrivals had already been exceeded.

Hmmm

‘Canada will be absolutely fine’: Liberals try to reassure Canadians they are ready for Trump 2.0

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada is prepared for a second Donald Trump presidency as questions swirl about how his government plans to handle the Republican president-elect’s incoming agenda.

From trade tariffs and the war in Ukraine, to defence spending and immigration, cabinet ministers exuded confidence on Wednesday that they are ready to handle whatever another Trump administration may bring.

Full Blown TDS: Trump’s election is a crisis like no other, not only for the U.S. but the world

Nothing mattered, in the end. Not the probable dementia, the unfathomable ignorance, the emotional incontinence; not, certainly, the shambling, hate-filled campaign, or the ludicrously unworkable anti-policies.

The candidate out on bail in four jurisdictions, the convicted fraud artist, the adjudicated rapist and serial sexual predator, the habitual bankrupt, the stooge of Vladimir Putin, the man who tried to overturn the last election and all of his creepy retinue of crooks, ideologues and lunatics: Americans took a long look at all this and said, yes please.

One big winner of the U.S. election: Justin Trudeau

As Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump piled-up the votes last night, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau must have been pinching himself in anticipation. For months, Trudeau and his PMO palace guard will have followed the U.S. presidential race polls more closely than most. Despite the whispers to the Star’s Ottawa Bureau, I’m dubious that the Liberals actually preferred a Kamala Harris victory.

How so? Trump’s political rebirth presents our Prime Minister with a career-saving opportunity: Trudeau gets to spend the next eleven months playing the delicious role of Escamillo, the brave bullfighting Toreador from Bizet’s timeless opera Carmen.

It is shocking how our regime typists underestimate the contempt held for Trudeau by the great unwashed.

More Canadians think Poilievre would be a better match if Trump wins the U.S. election: poll

Canadians don’t have much of a say in Tuesday’s U.S. presidential election, but they will soon be able to choose a new leader for our country, since the next federal election must take place no later than October 2025. And how favourably Canadians view the next prime minister has a lot to do with who wins the election south of the border.

A new poll from Angus Reid found that more than a third of Canadians — 38 per cent — think Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre would be a better prime ministerial match for a second Donald Trump presidency, while a similar number — 37 per cent — think current leader Justin Trudeau would be better at dealing with President Kamala Harris.

How Canada’s auto industry is ‘on the ballot’ in today’s U.S. presidential election

As voters decide who will take over the White House, there’s a feeling the person who becomes U.S. president will bring in policies that could shift Canada’s role in the automotive industry.

Promises from both the Republican and Democratic parties to protect vehicle manufacturing in the United States and skepticism of North America’s free trade agreement have been central themes to the extensive campaign stops in Michigan.

“The auto industry is on the ballot in 2024 like never before,” said Patrick Anderson, who runs a consultant firm in Michigan that works with manufacturers on both sides of the border.

Why Trudeau and Harris face similar troubles with voters

As the US presidential campaign nears the finish line, Canada’s prime minister is facing the threat of a snap election being called at any moment.

Justin Trudeau is under intense pressure to step down as leader after nine years in power. His Liberals have been trailing the Conservative Party by a wide margin in the polls for months.

US Vice-President Kamala Harris, meanwhile, is in a deadlocked race against Donald Trump as she makes the case for why a Democrat deserves another four years in the White House.

A large segment of voters in both countries are feeling a sense of malaise, telling pollsters they think their respective country is moving in the wrong direction.

Mexico sues American gun makers; the Supreme Court grants cert

In 2005, the Supreme Court’s Heller decision, which for the first time in American history acknowledged the Second Amendment recognizes the unalienable, individual right to keep and bear arms, was three years into the future. Anti-Liberty/gun cracktivists were pushing their latest strategy: suing gun makers for the third-party acts of people about who they had no knowledge and over who they had no control for misuse of their lawful products.

‘Buckle up’ for a second Trump presidency, former U.S. ambassador tells Canada

Kelly Craft, Donald Trump’s former ambassador to Canada, says the country should prepare for what could be a more antagonistic bilateral relationship with the U.S. if her old boss wins Tuesday’s presidential election.

Trump’s focus on building up American manufacturing and making NATO allies spend more on defence means Canada would need to make some policy changes to stay in America’s good graces, Craft said.

“Canada, they need to buckle up, The whole world needs to buckle up because President Trump will continue his policies from 2016. We are going to make America great again and we will be bringing it back to where it was under the Trump presidency,” Craft told Radio-Canada.

Star publishes 4037th “Trump Bad Man” article

The worst parts of American politics are creeping into Canada. Here’s why

It is the question bedevilling progressive-leaning people north and south of the Canada-U.S. border throughout this raucous, election-filled fall — how has the race against the conservative right become so close?

You hear it from people voting for Democratic contender Kamala Harris in Tuesday’s presidential vote. How on earth is Donald Trump, a convicted felon, an election denier, the man who inspired a mob to stage a deadly riot on Capitol Hill four years ago, even a serious contender?

Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump had some bad moments and some oddly friendly ones — but here’s what will really matter if Trump is re-elected

OTTAWA — Word came unexpectedly in January 2017 that President Donald Trump wanted to talk to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Officials scrambled to connect the two leaders and racked their brains: what urgent matter had they not foreseen?

I doubt Trump will much care knowing Junior is on the way out.

How Rumble went from a family-friendly Canadian startup to a megaphone for U.S. election deniers

Steven Crowder has big plans for election night. The far-right commentator says he will livestream his show on the video-sharing platform Rumble until a winner is declared.

Crowder, who routinely airs debunked claims of voter fraud, believes that could take days or weeks, potentially making his the “longest-lasting election night livestream in internet history.”

He is promising the Nov. 5 show will highlight “election anomalies coast-to-coast,” reported to him by “undercover” journalists and volunteer poll watchers.

In a nutshell CBC sought out a bunch of far-left censorship proponents to validate their narrative.
