    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

    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.

    Now, here's something to be proud of! You go Missouri! Woot! Or is it Mahalo?

    Missouri introduces ‘Donald Trump’ bill that makes it legal for people with felonies to run for office

    A Republican state representative in Missouri has proposed legislation that would allow a person who pleaded guilty to or was convicted of a felony to serve in public office – and has named it after the president-elect, who has a felony record.

    The “Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act,” introduced by state Representative Michael Davis, would repeal a 2015 Missouri law that prevents a person with a felony from becoming a candidate in a local or statewide election.

    It would allow a person with a felony record to run for office “if otherwise qualified.”

    The legislation takes an obvious page from Trump’s book. He was convicted of multiple felonies, yet is now America’s president-elect.

    “A lot of people don’t don’t think about the fact that Donald Trump, if he met all the other requirements, if he was a Missouri resident, could not run for state representative or state Senate,” Davis told the Missouri Independent.

    “He would be precluded from running for these offices but was able to be re-elected president of the United States. So I think that at least causes people to start thinking about the issue a little more than they might otherwise,” Davis added.

    Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York in May for falsifying business records for misrepresenting hush-money payments that were made to an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election.

    Now, here's something to be proud of! You go Missouri! Woot! Or is it Mahalo?

    Missouri introduces ‘Donald Trump’ bill that makes it legal for people with felonies to run for office

    A Republican state representative in Missouri has proposed legislation that would allow a person who pleaded guilty to or was convicted of a felony to serve in public office – and has named it after the president-elect, who has a felony record.

    The “Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act,” introduced by state Representative Michael Davis, would repeal a 2015 Missouri law that prevents a person with a felony from becoming a candidate in a local or statewide election.

    It would allow a person with a felony record to run for office “if otherwise qualified.”

    The legislation takes an obvious page from Trump’s book. He was convicted of multiple felonies, yet is now America’s president-elect.

    “A lot of people don’t don’t think about the fact that Donald Trump, if he met all the other requirements, if he was a Missouri resident, could not run for state representative or state Senate,” Davis told the Missouri Independent.

    “He would be precluded from running for these offices but was able to be re-elected president of the United States. So I think that at least causes people to start thinking about the issue a little more than they might otherwise,” Davis added.

    Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts in New York in May for falsifying business records for misrepresenting hush-money payments that were made to an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election.

    I saw that trump invited Xi to his inauguration. I'm predicting a completely cartoonish ceremony. trump might not wear a uniform but I'm guessing he's going to have a much larger and ridiculous military presence around him trying to make him look tough rather than fat, smelly and orange.
