Although Canada faces a major trade war with the US as soon as president-elect Donald Trump enters office in less than a month, Justin Trudeau has been distracted by a leadership crisis that could topple him as prime minister.
The situation has Canada’s regional leaders hopping on flights to influence the incoming Trump administration themselves.
Donald Trump has made his strongest bid yet to take over Canada, offering the Canadian people a 60 percent tax cut if they agree to join the US and become the 51st US state.
The president-elect has in recent days suggested a territorial expansion into Canada, Greenland and Panama, and has mocked prime minister Justin Trudeau by calling him ‘governor.’

The Bible is pro-transgender, according to guidance created for a Church of England lobby group.
Theological guidance for Christians claims that “not everyone in the Bible is cisgender” – their gender at birth – and says that biblical stories contain “some clear queer characters”.
Arguments for the pro-trans nature of the Bible rest on the treatment of eunuchs in scripture, and women taking part in apparently masculine activities. The guidance was produced by a campaigner who worked with a pressure group which has lobbied Church of England bishops for “radical inclusion” of sexual orientations and gender identities.
This week marks the 10th Christmas Canadians have endured under Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government — 10 years of our Dec. 25-born prime minister acting as if he’s our very own personal Jesus, without the humility, common sense, or moral clarity his birthday might suggest. From the get-go, Trudeau’s been a means to an end for Liberal party power — a famous name, flowing hair, a convenient professionally-good-looking object many lonely Canadian wives cast their adoring gazes upon — but otherwise, intellectually and morally vacuous. Thankfully, there is a solution. Pierre Poilievre will bring the common sense and moral clarity Canada so desperately needs.
It was November 1843, two years after Prince Albert first introduced Britain to the tradition of the Christmas tree. Charles Dickens was 31, and yet to grow his beard. A dire report on child labour the previous year had worked him up into a compassionate rage. Just as pressingly, Dickens needed cash. The author was already famous for The Pickwick Papers and Oliver Twist, but the public was struggling with Martin Chuzzlewit and, to top it off, his wife Catherine was pregnant again.
Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol in six weeks, amid explosions of laughter and tears at his desk. He knew straight away it was his best work yet, and commissioned a fancy edition to celebrate, complete with gold-edged paper and hand-coloured pictures. It was published on 19 December and had sold out by Christmas Eve, but the book was very expensive to manufacture, and profits were meagre. It was also immediately pirated, although when Dickens sued for damages, the pirates went bankrupt, leaving him to foot the legal bills. So in the first year, A Christmas Carol lost money, and Dickens moved his family to Italy to manage their expenses.
Canada’s military has been actively pushing a woke pro-LGBT agenda on the world stage, with the latest example being its deployment of “task force gender advisors” internationally in war-hit nations, such as Haiti and Ukraine.
The “gender advisors” initiative is noted in the 2024 Departmental Report of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). This has resulted in it drawing a sharp rebuke from veterans who wonder why the military is spending money on pushing the LGBT agenda abroad.
An unprecedented 69 percent of Canadians say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau should step down, according to a new survey. And while some have an opinion on who would be the best person to replace Trudeau as Liberal leader, most are unsure who it could be.
While others age, Virginia O’Hanlon is forever a little girl thanks to The New York Sun. Her letter asking if there’s a Santa Claus, and the paper’s response, helps each new generation of parents answer childhood’s trickiest question — and encourages everyone to hold onto the magic of Christmas.
“I am 8 years old,” O’Hanlon wrote the Sun in September of 1897. “Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, ‘If you see it in the Sun, it’s so.’ Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?”
OTTAWA — Canada’s Liberals are done with Justin Trudeau and there will be no more “please” or “thank-you’s” as they work to hustle him out the door.
The federal party lacks a mechanism to oust its leaders, so lawmakers are trying a range of tactics with Trudeau. Discontented backbenchers had hoped he’d notice the polls and take them personally. When that didn’t work, they initiated a quiet revolt and behind closed doors presented him with a letter encouraging him to leave.
Dramatic evidence has been published in a number of recent science papers that carbon dioxide levels are already ‘saturated’, meaning little or no further warming is to be expected and rising CO2 levels are all beneficial.
Half of human emissions are being quickly pushed back into the biosphere, the scientists say, causing substantial, famine-busting plant growth, while the rest is entering a ‘saturated’ atmosphere and having a minimal effect on global temperatures. One of the papers accepting the human involvement in rising CO2 is published by the CO2 Coalition, which notes: “We like CO2, so should you.”
Justin Trudeau will head to British Columbia for a ski vacation after spending Christmas in Ottawa. He shouldn’t expect a warm welcome in BC. In fact, as the latest Leger Poll shows, there aren’t many places that Trudeau would get a warm welcome because, to put it bluntly, Canadians are done with him.
Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine is the birthplace of one of the world’s favourite carols, the Carol of the Bells.
But there are few signs of Christmas in the city this year. Just a dusting of snow on deserted streets and skeletal buildings – and the constant sound of heavy shelling.
Pokrovsk is Russia’s next target. Its troops are now less than two miles (three kilometres) from the city centre.
I have a Christmas confession: there’s something I love about the CBC.
To some National Post readers, this might seem like the equivalent of saying Al-Qaeda had a few good ideas. But hear me out. At this festive time of the year — in the spirit of peace and love — let me make the case for why one specific program that used to air on CBC Radio deserves our affection.
“I’m considering living in the wild, just trotting around the globe with little money,” reads a post on a Reddit forum for Neets. “I was working [in] a retail store and the first few hours were OK, then I had to deal with customers,” reads another. “I packed my bag and just left.”
In this forum, a community of 44,000 people from around the world share advice and discuss the challenges of being a Neet — an acronym for not in education, employment or training.
We used to call them Hippies but that 60’s outbreak of sticking it to the man’s society was hatched during a period of economic prosperity.
How do you motivate a kid who’s been over educated and over promised, told that he likely will never own a home and whose standard of living is being undermined by mass immigration to support Corporate bottom lines?
