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 praises “very productive” Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trudeau

Donald Trump said he had a “very productive meeting” with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, after the two leaders met at Trump’s Florida estate Mar-a-Lago.

The men discussed “many important topics”, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, including fentanyl, illegal immigration, and trade.

Earlier on Saturday, Trudeau told reporters he had an “excellent conversation” with the American president-elect but declined to answer any questions.

Vast majority of terror suspects crossing into the US come from Canada

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Canada is a growing concern when it comes to potential terrorists trying to enter the U.S.

“Of the 410 terror suspects stopped at a U.S. land border crossing in the past year, 87% came from Canada,” reported the National Post on Friday.

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.

Trudeau’s willingness to cut a trade deal with U.S. alone was a betrayal, Mexico’s lead negotiator says

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s willingness to cut a trade deal with the U.S. alone came as a betrayal, says Mexico’s lead trade negotiator, adding that it has already proven to be a mistake.

Any desire by Canada to divert blame toward Mexico for U.S. problems with illegal immigration and imported narcotics was “erroneous,” Luis Rosendo Gutiérrez Romano said in an interview this week.

The Local Sheriffs Gearing Up to Help Trump Carry Out Mass Deportations

FREDERICK, Md.—If President-elect Donald Trump ramps up deportations as promised, he will have a strong ally in Chuck Jenkins, the longtime Republican sheriff of Maryland’s Frederick County.

“I’m willing to support the president 100%,” said Jenkins, 68, gravel-voiced with a gray buzzcut. “I want to do more, within the law.”

That prospect is spreading fear in immigrant circles, advocates say, and drawing mixed views from residents in this growing county, which backed Democrats in the last two presidential elections. But Jenkins, once dubbed among the nation’s 10 toughest immigration sheriffs by Fox News, sees Trump’s imminent return to the White House as a mandate for a more assertive approach.

Trump’s Ukraine Peace Plan Awaited With Mounting Curiosity as Biden Tries To Saddle President-Elect With an Escalating War

As the war in Ukraine escalates and the shambles of the Biden administration flounders to an end, the world awaits with mounting curiosity the disclosure by President Trump of his method for swiftly ending the war satisfactorily. As Joe Biden’s presidency winds down, it is more clear than ever how inept its management of the Ukraine War has been.

Readers will recall that as President Putin’s saber-rattling reached its noisiest point, almost three years ago, Mr. Biden said that America’s response to a Russian invasion of Ukraine would depend on whether it sought only the annexation of a few provinces or the conquest of the whole country.

Will Religion Replace Race as the New Identity Politics?

Most Republicans are understandably elated by the 2024 election results: the GOP will soon control the White House and both chambers of Congress. Exit polls, which showed comparatively strong Republican performance among minority voters, render increasingly implausible the notion that demographic change alone will usher in a permanent Democratic majority. This decline in racial and ethnic polarization, at least in voting choices, should be celebrated. Race and ethnicity are not the only demographic characteristics worth tracking, however, and the election results also revealed intriguing trends among religious voters.

What would a trade war actually look like?

Donald Trump is threatening steep tariffs on all goods entering the U.S. from Canada, Mexico and China.

They’ll be in place until the countries stop the flow of migrants and drugs illegally entering the U.S., Trump said. Mexico and China have threatened to respond in kind.

Businesses, economists and policymakers are trying to figure out how much of this is threat, how much is bluff and how much is real.

Warning CBC ahead.

It was the first “panic period” among people anxious about another Trump administration and interested in moving to Canada.

As Trump’s Mass Deportations Loom, Vast Scope of Migrant Crime Wave Comes Into Focus

The federal government’s failure to properly vet and keep track of lawless migrants leads to false claims that the illegal border-crossers are less likely to commit crimes.

In June, Victor Martinez-Hernandez was charged with the murder of a mother of five in Maryland, Rachel Morin. Police in Oklahoma tracked the accused repeat offender down with a sample of his DNA recovered from a Los Angeles home invasion in which a 9-year-old girl and her mother were assaulted. Police say he came to America illegally to escape prosecution for at least one other murder in his native El Salvador in December 2022.
