    Humour is dead, clearly. It’s a bad joke, nothing more, nothing less.

    Alternately, should Canadians feel secure with a man who has said he doesn’t trouble himself thinking about monetary policy trying to negotiate with Trump?

    Don’t forget Trudeau just spent the last four years bashing Trump and doing everything he could to insinuate a link between maga and the Conservative Party of Canada.

    In my opinion Trudeau has been as undiplomatic as Trump.

    It’s also funny how the US conquering Canada is being portrayed as if the US military hasn’t had a playbook for doing just that for decades (along with plans to conquer pretty much every nation on the planet). Someday Canadians will wake up one morning and be informed that we’re now under the authority of the USA, though not likely in our lifetimes.

    So Trudeau gets a pass for shitting on Trump and maga, but Trump is held to a different standard, got it.

    How many pictures exist of Trump wearing blackface at any time of his life? Would you excuse it for Trump as you did for Trudeau?

    There are far more similarities between Trump and Trudeau but it won’t be seriously considered by any here (at least that’s been my experience).

    Both born with a silver spoon, coddled and shielded from the consequences of their actions, both growing into extreme narcissists who believe they know all the answers. Both seem to admire authoritarian figures or regimes.

    I do need to acknowledge that the governing Liberals are downplaying the comments as jokes.

    Trump knows he got under many peoples skin with his initial comment at the dinner. He’s watching the hysteria north of the border and laughing his considerable ass off.

    If Trudeau wanted me to take him seriously he should have told Trump we’ll stop the fentanyl at the border but Trump needs to stop the illegal guns flooding north. Lost opportunity it seems.

    Trudeau says Americans are realizing Trump's tariffs on Canada would make life a lot more expensive

    Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Americans are realizing that "tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive" and says he would retaliate if Donald Trump imposes them


    National headlines from ABC News

    Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.

    TORONTO -- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday that Americans “are beginning to wake up to the real reality that tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive" and said he will retaliate if Donald Trump goes ahead with them.

    Trump later responded by calling Canada a state and Trudeau the governor.

    Speaking at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Trudeau also said dealing with Trump will be “a little more challenging” than the last time because Trump’s team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016.

    The U.S. president-elect has threatened to impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico unless they stem the flow of migrants and drugs.

    “Trump got elected on a commitment to make life better and more affordable for Americans, and I think people south of the border are beginning to wake up to the real reality that tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive," Trudeau said.

    On the weekend, Trump appeared in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” where the president-elect said he can’t guarantee that his promised tariffs on key U.S. foreign trade partners won’t raise prices for American consumers.

    “Let’s not kid ourselves in any way, shape or form, 25% tariffs on everything going to the United States would be devastating for the Canadian economy," Trudeau said.

    “It would also, however, mean real hardship for Americans as well. Americans import 65% of their crude oil from Canada, significant amounts of electricity. Just about all the natural gas exported from Canada goes to the United States. They rely on us for steel and aluminum. They rely on us for a range of agriculture imports. All of those things would get more expensive.”

    Trump seemed to respond to Trudeau's comments with a post on social media late Monday, in which he noted Trudeau's recent dinner at Mar-a-Lago where some said Trump joked about Canada becoming the 51st state.

    “It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada. I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all! DJT,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

    If Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation.

    Economists say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, alcohol and other goods.

    The Produce Distributors Association, a Washington trade group, has said tariffs will raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt U.S. farmers when the countries retaliate.

    “We will of course, as we did eight years ago, respond to unfair tariffs,” Trudeau said.

    Trudeau said his government is still mulling over “the right ways” to respond, referencing when Canada put billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum.

    Many of the U.S. products were chosen for their political rather than economic impact. For example, Canada imports just $3 million worth of yogurt from the U.S. annually and most of it comes from one plant in Wisconsin, the home state of then-Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. That product was hit with a 10% duty.

    “It was the fact that we put tariffs on bourbon and Harley-Davidsons and playing cards and Heinz ketchup and cherries and a number of other things that were very carefully targeted because they were politically impactful to the president’s party and colleagues,” Trudeau said.

    Trudeau said when Trump says things he means them but they also know Trump is trying to insert uncertainty and “a bit of chaos” into democracies.

    “One of the most important things for us to do is not freak out, not to panic,” Trudeau said.

    “Knowing these would be absolutely devastating means we have to take them seriously but it does mean we have to be thoughtful and strategic and not going around making our opponents arguments for him but making our arguments in a significant and united way."

    Recent Stories from ABC News

    Canadian officials have said it is unfair to lump Canada in with Mexico.

    U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border.

    Most of the fentanyl reaching the U.S. — where it causes about 70,000 overdose deaths annually — is made by Mexican drug cartels using precursor chemicals smuggled from Asia.

    On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol reported 1.53 million encounters with irregular migrants at the southwest border with Mexico between October 2023 and September 2024. That compares to 23,721 encounters at the Canadian border during that time.

    Trump has also claimed the U.S. is “subsidizing Canada to the tune of over $100 billion a year."

    On America’s trade deficit Canada’s ambassador to Washington, Kirsten Hillman, told the AP U.S. had a $75 billion trade deficit with Canada last year but noted a third of what Canada sells into the U.S. are energy exports and prices have been high.

    About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports as well.

    Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing for national security.

    Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states.

    note the article doesnt quote the "retaliate" line. winder if he said something along the lines of respond in kind.....

    later though it looks like he would respond in a targeted way like he did before Paul Ryan tucked tail and ran home.

    Many of the U.S. products were chosen for their political rather than economic impact. For example, Canada imports just $3 million worth of yogurt from the U.S. annually and most of it comes from one plant in Wisconsin, the home state of then-Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. That product was hit with a 10% duty.

    “It was the fact that we put tariffs on bourbon and Harley-Davidsons and playing cards and Heinz ketchup and cherries and a number of other things that were very carefully targeted because they were politically impactful to the president’s party and colleagues,” Trudeau said.

    Trudeau said when Trump says things he means them but they also know Trump is trying to insert uncertainty and “a bit of chaos” into democracies.

    “One of the most important things for us to do is not freak out, not to panic,” Trudeau said.

    “Knowing these would be absolutely devastating means we have to take them seriously but it does mean we have to be thoughtful and strategic and not going around making our opponents arguments for him but making our arguments in a significant and united way."

    Canadian officials have said it is unfair to lump Canada in with Mexico.

    U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border.

    Most of the fentanyl reaching the U.S. — where it causes about 70,000 overdose deaths annually — is made by Mexican drug cartels using precursor chemicals smuggled from Asia.

    On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol reported 1.53 million encounters with irregular migrants at the southwest border with Mexico between October 2023 and September 2024. That compares to 23,721 encounters at the Canadian border during that time.

    Trump has also claimed the U.S. is “subsidizing Canada to the tune of over $100 billion a year."

    On America’s trade deficit Canada’s ambassador to Washington, Kirsten Hillman, told the AP U.S. had a $75 billion trade deficit with Canada last year but noted a third of what Canada sells into the U.S. are energy exports and prices have been high.

    About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports as well.

    Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing for national security.

    Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states.
