    How Trump divided Trudeau and Freeland

    OTTAWA — President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff wars have claimed their first casualty: Canada’s Chrystia Freeland.

    “The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,” Trump shared on Truth Social late Monday night. “Her behavior was totally toxic and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada. She will not be missed!!!!”


    Freeland made a dramatic exit from Trudeau’s Cabinet on Monday, citing differences with Trudeau over economic policy and Trump’s tariff threats. In her resignation letter, she warned that how Canada deals with Trump “will define us for a generation, and perhaps longer.”

    The bombshell announcement ended Freeland’s run as deputy prime minister and Trudeau’s trusted right hand, especially during the first Trump administration when the president reopened continental trade talks that posed a primordial threat to the Canadian economy.

    Six years later, Trump has driven the leaders apart with a threat to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports.

    Freeland was conspicuously absent last month when Trump welcomed Trudeau to Mar-a-Lago for dinner. The prime minister instead jetted to the Nov. 29 meeting in Florida with his longtime friend and confidant Dominic LeBlanc, Canada’s public safety minister.

    Freeland dismissed her absence as jurisdictional — the border falls into LeBlanc’s portfolio, so he was better suited to break bread with Trump’s people. Yet it was Freeland who’d been front and center during Trump’s first administration as the political lead of the Canadian team renegotiating NAFTA.

    That role made her a target — even as she hosted a homemade dinner for trade czar Robert Lighthizer in her Toronto home. Trump was openly critical of her negotiation style. “We don’t like their representative very much,” he said at the time.

    In Monday’s letter, Freeland cited differences with Trudeau over economic policy and Trump’s tariff threats. And LeBlanc meanwhile accepted a new invitation from Trudeau — taking over from Freeland as finance minister. She accused Trudeau of tying one hand behind her back when it came to spending that would strengthen Canada’s hand with Trump.

    Monday’s exit won’t spell the end of Freeland’s decade-long political career, which followed several decades as a journalist — during which she chronicled the fall of the Soviet Union. For now, she’ll remain as an MP in a seat on the government’s backbenches — well behind Trudeau but with her options still open to someday run for his job.

    Believing trumpy is responsible for Freeland's departure as finance minister is the single most ridiculous thing you have posted, Skippy. Trudeau has a long history of demoting women in his cabinet. This is all on Trudeau. He needs to step down.

        Report: 50% of Syrian Refugees Still on Government Assistance in Canada 5 Years After Arrival



        A recent study showed that roughly 50 percent of Syrian refugees in Canada have still been receiving government assistance five years after entering the country.

        Conducted by Statistics Canada, the study showed that “42.3 percent of the 2014 cohort of government-assisted refugees aged 15 to 54 still relied on social assistance six years after landing in Canada,” per True North.


        “The situation worsened for subsequent cohorts, with the 2015 arrivals, coinciding with the Liberal government’s initiation of Operation Syrian Refugee, showing a 50.4 percent reliance on social assistance after five years,” noted the outlet.

        Social assistance reliance was even higher for the 2016 cohort, while Syrian resettlement continued, with 69.5 percent of government-assisted refugees reporting reliance on social assistance four years after landing,” it added


        As Breitbart News reported, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently admitted that mistakes were made in his administration in regards to immigration policy. Trudeau said that large corporations, colleges, and universities exploited Canada’s temporary foreign worker (TFW) program to avoid hiring Canadian workers.

        “Far too many colleges and universities used international students to raise their bottom line — because they could charge these students tens of thousands of dollars more for the same degree,” Trudeau explained. “And, then there are really bad actors who outright exploit people, who target vulnerable immigrants with promises of jobs, diplomas, and easy pathways to citizenship. Promises that would never come true”:​

        Trudeau lamented how “when the post-pandemic boom cooled and businesses no longer needed the additional labor help” the Canadian government could have “turned off the taps faster.”

        Breitbart News’s Neil Munro has previously reported that public support for the “unlimited supply of cheap foreign labor” in Canada has fallen as Canadians have faced a decrease in their wages, productivity, and wealth.​

          I'm sure if Skippy is able to put his socks on in the morning, he believes it's because of trumpy. That boy has a serious crush on trumpy.

            You don't understand the Trump strategy with Canada. Canada will suffer 10x more than we will. Canada's survival depends on trade with America. And the USA is the largest ecomomy in the world. You'll fold way before us.

                As usual, you haven't done any real research. Trudeau was taking the finance portfolio away from Freeland, so she decided to step down.

                Trumpy hates her because she got the better of him during the CAMUS negotiations during his first mess of a term. He is such a snowflake. Lol

                  How Trump’s tariff threat pushed Canada’s Trudeau to brink of resignation


                  Montreal, Canada – For weeks, Justin Trudeau has tried to reassure Canadians that his government has everything under control.

                  US President-elect Donald Trump’s threat late last month to slap 25-percent tariffs on his country’s northern neighbour has dominated the headlines, with Canadian business leaders and politicians hammering the prime minister about how he plans to respond.



                  This week, the simmering crisis took an unexpected — and escalatory — turn when Canada’s finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, announced she was stepping down from her post because she and Trudeau were “at odds about the best path forward”.

                  “The incoming administration in the United States is pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 per cent tariffs. We need to take that threat extremely seriously,” Freeland wrote in her resignation letter on Monday.

                  “That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war. That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.”

                      Hopefully, Canada can recover from the ruinous liberal policies. You know how bad its gotten in Canada? Check this out.

                        Canada is falling apart.


                        Canadian dollar dips below 70 cents US for first time since March 2020



                        The Canadian dollar dipped below $0.70 US on Tuesday, the first time it has done so since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, according to Bloomberg data.

                        The dollar's move follows a chaotic start to the week in which Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's cabinet.

                        The federal government later unveiled a fall economic update that revealed a $61.9 billion deficit for the 2023-2024 fiscal year, blowing its deficit target by more than $20 billion.

                        More broadly, the loonie's decline is set against the backdrop of a weakened economy still facing the threat of a 25 per cent tariff on imported goods by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. His November re-election further strengthened the U.S. dollar.

                        "Our phones are kind of ringing off the hook right now. We're getting a lot of U.S. dollar sellers," said Rahim Madhavji, the president of Knightsbridge Foreign Exchange, a currency exchange company based in Toronto.

                        "People that either get paid in U.S. dollars, have inheritance in U.S. dollars, do business in U.S. dollars — and whether they've parked investments and things like that — they're all converting to Canadian," he said.​

                          "Donald Trump is still deeply unpopular in Canada. And among those with a positive impression of Pierre Poilievre (41% of Canadians), about half have a positive impression of Trump while 1 in 3 have a negative impression. A big part of the new Poilievre universe does not like the incoming American President."

                            My dear boy,

                            No one ever said that Trump was wildly popular in Canada. No, no,no. But he is more popular than Trudeau. That shows you how fucked up things are in Canada. Housing has doubled. Crime has doubled. Food has doubled.

                            What's wild is you told me things are "very good" in Canada. Why do you lie?

                                See, you can't just call someone a liar, you have to prove it. You said things are very good in Canada. Housing has doubled, crime has doubled, food bank usage has doubled. And Trump is more popular in Canada than Trudeau.

                                Doesn't sound "very good" to me. lol
