Diane Francis: If Trump walks all over Canada, it’s because Trudeau made it weak

A flurry of satirical articles and angry comebacks followed U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s recent crack about making Canada the 51st state.

Last week, Fox News reported, citing anonymous sources, that Trump joked to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that if a threatened 25 per cent tariff would kill Canada’s economy, then maybe Canada should become the 51st state.

Walking around outside getting fresh air & exercise ‘A death trap’ say striking Canada Post workers

‘A death trap’: Striking Canada Post workers explain the job’s toll on them

As Canada Post workers remain on the picket line, a key point of contention in their demands is their job’s growing physical and mental toll — and they say that’s exacerbated by climate change.

From delivering parcels through scorching heatwaves to battling blizzards, Canadian postal workers increasingly face extreme weather conditions that strain their bodies and minds.

Years from now the decision to shut down Canada Post will be regarded as a groundbreaking act of humanity.

Let’s see, free sex change operations and now they don’t wanna go outside. OK can em’ all.

In bizarre “feminist” outburst Trudeau says defeat of unelected Kamala Harris the most unqualified & undeserving Democrat candidate in recent memory was an attack on women’s progress

Trudeau highlights Kamala Harris presidential defeat as an attack on women’s progress

OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says women’s rights and women’s progress is under attack, pointing to the recent defeat of U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris as an example.

Speaking on Tuesday night at an event hosted by the Equal Voice Foundation — an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in Canadian politics — Trudeau said there are regressive forces fighting against women’s progress.

“It shouldn’t be that way. It wasn’t supposed to be that way. We were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult sometimes, march towards progress,” Trudeau said, adding he is a proud feminist and will always be an ally.

Trump should just refuse any further contact until we can dump this idiot.

The British jihadists who could be freed from Syrian camps

Dozens of Isis fighters, brides and children from Britain are still living in the squalid camps and prisons of northeast Syria.

The rebels’ successful march on Damascus has led experts to warn of the security risk to the UK if the remaining adult Britons escape or are freed in the resulting chaos.

Sir Alex Younger, the former head of MI6, said the end of Bashar al-Assad’s regime risked a “serious spike” from the threat of “a very large number” of newly freed Isis prisoners. Experts have also warned that the conditions in the prisons and camps of Kurdish-controlled northeast Syria make them a breeding ground for radicalisation.

Tasha Kheiriddin: Marc Miller ignores potential threat from Syrian refugees

After cheers rang out in Damascus this weekend at the toppling of brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, there came another sound: that of countries slamming the door on Syrian refugees. On Monday, 15 European nations declared that they would no longer grant them asylum. Some, like Austria, are discussing deportations; German politicians are suggesting that the country charter aircraft and offer financial incentives for people to leave. The United Kingdom has similarly put on a pause on asylum claims from Syrian refugees.

Poll suggests 13% of Canadians think Canada should become 51st American state

OTTAWA — President-elect Donald Trump is calling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the governor of the “Great State of Canada” on his social media account.

Trump said in a taunting post to Truth Social early Tuesday it was a “pleasure to have dinner” with Trudeau at his Mar-a-Lago estate and that he looks forward to seeing the “governor again soon” to talk tariffs and trade, the “results of which will be truly spectacular for all.”

I would certainly consider it, many days I am certain I would welcome it.

Terry Newman: ‘Governor Trudeau’ deserves Trump’s trolling Trudeau poisoned the well with Trump long ago

Early Tuesday morning, perhaps from a gold-plated toilet at Mar-a-Lago, American president-elect Donald Trump posted what might be the most epic troll on a Canadian prime minister to date, referring to Justin Trudeau as Governor of the “Great State of Canada.” And it was well-deserved. Trudeau is simply not equipped for a war of wits and he has poisoned the well with Trump beyond repair.

Trudeau gov’t remains eager to abuse Canadians by allowing in more Syrian Muslims even after Assad’s downfall says lickspittle Miller

OTTAWA – Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Canada will continue evaluating the asylum claims of people who have fled Syria, even as some European countries are pausing those claims after the Assad regime’s fall.

Miller says Canada’s asylum system isn’t seeing the same pressure as European counterparts such as Germany and Austria.

Syrian President Bashar Assad fled the country on Sunday, and is reportedly in Russia, after opposition forces seized the capital Damascus.

Poilievre could receive and make public the names of Conservatives allegedly tied to foreign meddling, former top spy says

OTTAWA—Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre could potentially receive the names of Conservatives allegedly tied to foreign meddling activities — and reveal that information to the public, a former head of Canada’s spy agency says.

“The (Canadian Intelligence Security Service) can do what it wants or say what it wants, as long as it doesn’t violate a federal statute or the Constitution,” said Richard Fadden, who also served as national security adviser to both prime ministers Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau.

This has devolved into a big circle jerk.

UNIPARTY scheme to flood Canada with 10,000 Uyghur Muslims underway

First Uyghur refugee arrives under Canadian effort to resettle persecuted minority groups from China

A Uyghur woman is the first refugee from China’s persecuted minority groups to arrive in Canada under a federal government resettlement effort launched in 2023.

The Canadian government has committed to bring in Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities who have fled repression in China. This follows from a February, 2023, vote in the House of Commons where MPs voted unanimously in favour of Motion M-62, which called on Ottawa to accept 10,000 Uyghurs and other minorities, and a February, 2021, vote where MPs also backed a declaration that Beijing’s treatment of these people amounted to genocide.

I bet our China class told the boys “here’s a sure fire way to suck up to Xi”. So Justin said to Xi “You got a Muslim problem? Ship em’ to Canada we ALWAYS need more stabby Muslims.”

“It’s not our fight”: Poilievre says Canada shouldn’t interfere in Syrian revolution

When asked what Canada should do to ensure stability in the region, Poilievre said Canada shouldn’t intervene, an illuminating comment about what the foreign policy of a potential Conservative government would look like.

“First of all, Assad was a puppet for the tyrants of Tehran (Iran). He has carried out genocides against the Sunni people in his own country, and now he appears to have been toppled,” Poilievre said. “We don’t know who will replace him, but I don’t think we should get involved in that mess. It’s not our fight.”

What Alice Munro Knew

The Nobel-winning author’s husband was a pedophile who targeted her daughter and other children. Why did she stay silent?

“My life has gone rosy, again,” Alice Munro told a friend in a buoyant letter of March 1975. For Munro, who was then emerging as one of her generation’s leading writers, the previous few years were blighted by heartbreak and upheaval: a painful separation from her husband of two decades; a retreat from British Columbia back to her native Ontario; a series of brief but bruising love affairs, in which, it seems, Munro could never quite make out the writing on the wall. “This time it’s real,” she wrote, speaking of a new romantic partner, the emphasis acknowledging that her friend had heard these words before. “He’s 50, free, a good man if I ever saw one, tough and gentle like in the old tire ads, and this is the big thing — grown-up.”

Why fast food industry watchers expect big discounts in the first half of 2025

Bourbon St. Grill is trying to lure them in with a pair of beef or chicken Jamaican patties for $5 and a “budget-friendly” meal for students priced at $10.99.

Nearby, New York Fries is hoping a $7.49 hotdog and pop combo designed for “lunchfast, lupper or snacktime” will do the trick, and over at Sansotei Ramen, it’s all about an offer knocking $2 off tonkotsu or spicy tan tan.

This onslaught of promotions has taken shape at just about every fast-food joint across the country, and the phenomenon has intensified into what industry watchers have dubbed a “value war.”

They’re predicting the battle for your buck isn’t going away anytime soon and may even hit new heights next year.

“It’s going to be at least the first six months of 2025, when we’re going to be seeing elevated promotions, but it’s likely going to be the entire 2025,” said Danilo Gargiulo, investment research firm Bernstein’s senior analyst specializing in restaurants.

Trump ally on Canada’s fentanyl talk: Not good enough

The Canadian government is talking about adding helicopters and drones at the border to stop fentanyl shipments so Donald Trump drops his threat of devastating economic tariffs.

But David Asher, a Trump ally, says it should be doing more. Much more. And as someone who’s worked on fentanyl policy for Trump, he says Canada should be making substantive, systemic changes.

He calls it frustrating to hear Canadians downplay their country’s role in the fentanyl epidemic, just because a minuscule percentage of seized contraband comes from Canada. There’s more to it than that, he says.
