Canada preparing for ‘uncertainty’ of possible Trump term, Trudeau says

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that his government is preparing for the “uncertainty” that a hypothetical second term in office for former President Trump would bring to his country and to its alliance with the United States.

Trudeau’s Cabinet gathered at a Montreal retreat to discuss the prospect of Trump’s return to office in the 2024 presidential election and to prepare a strategy.

Trudeau said Trump “represents uncertainty,” but that his government was able to manage Trump during his first term by demonstrating the mutual economic benefit that a strong U.S.-Canada alliance would bring.

You mean to say that Black Face is about to have to negotiate international trade deals with Trump that are bilateral, that have reciprocal market availability in farm products, and lumber, and that Alberta will have a pipeline going due South? None of which Justin Trudeau, Canada's Village idiot, wants?

The uncertainty is not about Canada's government, the uncertainty is concerning Trudeaus bleak political future he has, as a liberal fascist ideologue.( For example, all farm equipment must be electric by 2035, or the farmers will be carbon taxed out of business and Canada will starve.) Trump wins? Trudeau is as good as gone.Pray to make it so.

I agree to some extent, but also bear in mind, Canadians are not all that convinced that Trump is worse for Canada’s interests than Biden. We tend to associate liberal democrats with protectionist tendencies and Republicans with free trade which tends to benefit Canada as a resource exporter.

I never really experienced much anti-Trump sentiment up here in his first term. People seemed to think that by and large, our two governments were getting along about as well as before, and in western Canada the reaction was generally more positive.

Probably what Trudeau means by “unpredictable” is a kind of recognition of Trump’s “art of the deal” approach, which to work well needs to have some aspect of unpredictability. It is easier to read the Biden agenda and so meetings between the two governments are probably quite scripted.

There are probably some even in Liberal cabinet positions who would actually prefer Trump to Biden. The unstable southern border is no benefit to Canada, it creates a sort of domino effect, as some might keep going north and figure, well Canada has the better social welfare so let’s keep going across that border too. By the way, we don’t have the same unguarded southern border, our asylum seekers are arriving by plane not on the ground (two feet of snow and ten below will tend to make a plane look like a good option).
