Could Donald Trump be good for Canada? The reflexive answer is no. The U.S. president-elect is threatening to impose a 25 per cent tariff on our exports. He promises to deport millions of illegal migrants, many of whom may run to our border. He mocks Canada as the 51st state — a threat that is no joke. Just this week he mused about retaking the Panama Canal and buying Greenland. If he fully embraces Manifest Destiny, all North America becomes fair game.

Amy Hamm: Trudeau is the furthest thing from a feminist
Justin Trudeau is no feminist, and needs to stop insulting Canadian women by claiming that he is one.
The man’s record — both his behaviour and words — diametrically oppose such a claim. Yet, given any opportunity, he will proudly wax on about his alleged dedication to the rights and well-being of the fairer sex.
Israeli and Canadian officials clash over whether Canada is safe for Jews
Canadian and Israeli officials disagreed on Saturday—the day after a Canadian Jewish school was shot, for the third time, and after the country launched a new antisemitism forum—about whether the northern U.S. neighbor is a safe place for Jews.
“Canada—another day, another attack,” wrote Amichai Chikli, the Israeli diaspora affairs minister. “While Justin Trudeau, the only G7 leader who hasn’t visited Israel since Oct. 7, issues hollow statements, Toronto’s Beis Chaya school is shot at for the third time, and Montreal synagogue is firebombed again.”
Fuck Trudeau, Fuck our so called “elites” and Fuck anyone opposed to Remigration.
Can the Governor General do what Pierre Poilievre is asking? This expert says no
A historically difficult week for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government ended with a renewed push from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to topple this government – this time in the form a letter to the Governor General.
In a Friday afternoon press conference, Poilievre told reporters he was writing to Gov. Gen. Mary Simon, “asking her to reconvene Parliament and require a non-confidence vote.”
GUNTER: History dooms next Liberal leader to stunning defeat
Who do you think the next Liberal leader will most emulate — Pierre Trudeau, Paul Martin or Kim Campbell?
Assuming the suddenly invisible Justin Trudeau uses his Christmas break to shelter in place and finally decides to step down, do you think the Liberal who replaces him as party head will (a) revive the party and win it a majority? (b) save at least a minority or (c) suffer an electoral thumping of record proportions?
Jewish group challenges decision to keep alleged Nazis’ names private
A Jewish group, supported by dozens of academics and former government officials, is appealing Library and Archives Canada’s decision to keep secret information on suspected Nazis who settled in Canada after the Second World War.
Library and Archives Canada made the controversial decision in November to continue to withhold the list that had been requested by B’nai Brith Canada and others using the federal government’s Access to information law.
Biden Lackey & Outgoing U.S. ambassador worries that Canadians feel disrespected by the United States
As U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and his supporters continue to troll Canada about becoming the 51st state, the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Canada says he worries Canadians could feel Americans don’t respect them.
David Cohen told CBC’s The House in 2022 that Canadians felt “betrayed” because “they don’t think their affection and respect for the United States has been reciprocated by the United States.”
Most Canadians can take a joke and given Trump is more popular than Trudeau we’re laughing with the President.
Trump’s Border Czar Says Canada’s Immigration Laws Are ‘Too Lax’
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s border czar said while he has had good conversations with Canadian officials around border security, the country’s immigration laws are still “too lax.”
“It’s pretty easy to get into Canada. Not a lot of screening is done, not compared to the United States,” Tom Homan said in an interview with CTV’ Power Play program, recalling a conversation he recently had with two Canadian ministers.
“I’m talking about those who would come in just to get to Canada and transit to the United States. I think they need to be screened right before we let them in. Of course, that’s up to Canada to change those rules.”
‘A dumpster fire, wrapped up in a cluster …’: Inside the chaos of Justin Trudeau’s Ottawa
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s week started with a crisis his opponents likened to a “gong show at the bottom of a dumpster fire, wrapped up in a cluster.”
Canada’s three-term prime minister managed to make it to Friday when he announced a Cabinet shakeup triggered in part by the bombshell exit of Chrystia Freeland, who quit Monday as head of finance and deputy prime minister.
Can Trudeau prorogue? Rideau Hall is back at the centre of politics
Mary Simon’s job just got a lot more interesting.
The normally ceremonial office of governor-general could face its most challenging decision since the parliamentary crisis of late 2008, when then-governor-general Michaëlle Jean allowed then-prime minister Stephen Harper to prorogue Parliament, avoiding an imminent House of Commons defeat.
Tom Mulcair: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s train wreck of a final act
On Feb. 29, 1984, Pierre Trudeau famously took a walk in the snow that, he explained the next day, inspired him to announce that he was leaving politics for good.
Last February, on the 40th anniversary of that poetic moment, there was some speculation that Justin Trudeau might take his own walk in the snow and announce he was stepping down.
He was way down in the polls and Canadians had clearly started to signal a desire for change. But drama teacher Trudeau was not going to exit stage right without chewing the scenery one last time.

What the numbers say about Trudeau’s popularity in 2024
… Though the polls haven’t yet fully captured Canadians’ reactions to Freeland’s departure, Nik Nanos(opens in a new tab), CTV News pollster and Nanos Research Chair, says Trudeau’s 2024 leadership numbers are already at their worst in his tenure as prime minister.
HEINRICHS: The trolling has just begun
You may recall this oldie: Did you hear about the socialist joke? It’s poor quality but everybody gets it.
Better than anyone, Donald Trump knows that today’s woke-leftists have no sense of humour. Moreover, Trump has learned that ridicule and sarcasm are effective batons for handling such foes. It can bowl them over.
HANNAFORD: Trudeau’s desperate shuffle brings no aces to the top
It was then, as we thought… A major shakeup of the cabinet, rather than a few surgical transplants, as Prime Minister Trudeau takes the opportunity to widen his declared support base within his own Liberal Party.
Widened, but diluted… Most of the newbies are people that only their constituents could be expected to have ever heard of. In military terms, it is the deployment of reserves and raw recruits, the main force having been battered into ineffectiveness.
