Earlier this week, as we covered at the time, President-elect Donald announced tariffs on Canada and Mexico, citing concerns with fentanyl and "Open Borders." Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum were quick to scramble to address such matters, with Trudeau stressing to reporters on Tuesday morning that he had had "a good call" with Trump. Just days after that, on Friday, it was revealed that Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago.Â

As Fox News reported on Friday night:
A person familiar with the matter said Trudeau will have dinner with Trump. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc accompanied Trudeau on the trip. Trudeau is the first G-7 leader to visit Trump since the U.S. election.
A report from The New York Times had similar information:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada on Friday night landed in Florida to see President-elect Donald J. Trump at Mar-a-Lago, two officials with direct knowledge of the visit said, after a threat by Mr. Trump to impose across-the-board tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico on Day 1.
The visit makes Mr. Trudeau the first head of government from the Group of 7, a key forum of global coordination consisting of the world’s wealthiest democracies, to visit the president-elect.
One official said that Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Trump would dine together Friday evening, and that Mr. Trudeau was expected to stay in the area overnight, but not at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s private club and home in Palm Beach, Fla.
Mr. Trudeau was accompanied on his visit by Dominic LeBlanc, Canada’s minister of public safety.
...
Mr. Trudeau has tried to project calm and confidence, saying that he believed that Mr. Trump would see that tariffs would harm both countries, which are each other’s biggest trading partners. About 80 percent of Canada’s oil and 40 percent of its gas are exported to the United States, and the two countries are deeply intertwined through the joint manufacturing of cars, as well as in multiple other industries.
The Mar-a-Lago visit on Friday, which was initially reported by The Globe and Mail newspaper on the basis of tracking Mr. Trudeau’s plane, is intended as a direct effort by Mr. Trudeau to show that he has a plan to address Mr. Trump’s border concerns, and that tariffs should be avoided for the sake of both nations’ economies.
...
Mr. Trudeau is facing considerable pressure over how to handle this difficult moment. The imposition of tariffs on Canada would throw the country into recession, economists believe, as doing business with the United States is the lifeblood of the economies of several Canadian provinces.
But Mr. Trudeau is in a precarious political moment, too, after nine years in power. He faces elections in the coming months, and polls show his party, the Liberal Party, is set to lose badly to the Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre.
The Fox News report also mentioned how Canada claims to be taking their border security concerns seriously. "Shortly after Trump's tariff promises, Canadian officials said the country places the 'highest priority' on border security," it read.Â
Canada, a particularly liberal country, has had rather lax immigration laws. As Madeline reported early last week, Trudeau finally admitted in a video message posted in English and French that his country made a mistake, and will be doing something "major" by "reducing the numbers of immigrants that will come to Canada for the next three years."
Trump has spoken about tariffs at length, and it looks like he's back on his way to making sure that America is feared and respected once again, before he's even officially taken office. The tariffs Trump announced earlier this week are set for day one of his administration, on January 20.Â
Even if Trudeau does on for the next election, and it's doubtful that he will, as even The New York Times admits, it looks quite hopeful that Trump will have the right kind of relationship with our neighbor to the north.Â
It shows how irrelevant JoJo and kamalala are. Who is running the country?
Man this has got to keep the Libs awake at night. Love it! LUV! IT! ....waiting for the headline: “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Heads to Mar-a-Lago (with Nancy Pelosi - Paul Pelosi driving)”.
So many people are kissing Trump’s Ring, he will need to wash it frequently
to kill all the germs.
Was he in blackface?
That would be Obeyme and Schwartz Gyorgy.

Since he was in the area, Mr. Castreau probably just couldn't resist a little jaunt down south to the Father-land to catch up with his cousins.
Back in those days I'd been a non-registered Freeper for months digesting conversations of economics and free enterprise, and yes of course Mr. Greenspan's odd switch from freedom loving gold standard to a fiat currency devotee.
Sad, at one point I thought he was sort of cool, then I had my bubble burst.
Isn't his wife some goofy liberal TV person? I don't watch TV so I don't know her name.
Effjng faggot. Can i say that? Sorry Jim. You know my lack of filter.
Let’s see him do the Trump dance.
Globalist cabal
Back in 2016, the democRATS, DemoKKKrats, and, of course, the Drive-By Media went bonkers when President Trump started having meetings with private industry, and others right after the election.
Back then I told anyone who would listen that President Trump had spent the last many decades working, and working, and working. He only needs 5 or so hours of sleep each night. He never drinks, he never smokes. After he won the 2016 election, the next day or so he did what he always does. He went to work.
The entire world knows that the Hussein/Biden Regime is toast. I also used to tell people that the Hussein/Biden Regime is printing as much money as possible, because they knew it would eventually end. “Spreading the wealth” to their friends and sycophants. Yes, they will not give up power easily. As the new border czar stated “the Denver Mayor wants to get arrested, and we will arrange it.”
Yeah, you can say that; I’ll join in with CANUK COMMUNIST F#CKING FAGGOT!
Better be discussing that pipeline. That would make them both happy.
In my opinion the people who say “the tariffs will be passed on straight to the consumer” are simpletons engaging in simplistic, static analysis.
Hou bet Trudeau is heading to Florida.
He is kept in power by a Family Compact of special interests who for generations have had protected status in Canada.
The Canadian Dairy industry is a prime example, there are many others.Inside Canada the of milk, butter, cheese and eggs are pretty much set, its legal price fixing. And they can export dairy products to the USA without any tariffs
Milk in Canada costs $8.00 Canadian about 6 dollars US per gallon.
Trump wants reciprocity of trade. This will “destroy” the protected market of Canada for dairy products and lower the price of products to Canadians. The dairy idustry of Canada will have to compete with the US dairy industry.
TRudeau wants top preserve all of the little special interests he has in Canada: Dairy, Beer, Distilling, MAple Syrup,Lumber,potatoes,Steel ( dumping from China into the USA) Aluminum ( dumping from China into the USA).
Trump is going to make this coward Trudeau stand up to China ( that will refuse the import into China of canola oil, a huge industry in theCnadian West),and stop the dunmping of steel and aluminum that ruins the US industrial base.
Trudeau will have to face reciprocity in trade and actually start controlling the Canadian border, the flow of drugs and gang re;ated arms.
THis will actually benefit the Canadian Consumer,bringing lower prices of goodds and commodity.
Trudeau will also be forced to stop interfering with oil export to the USA and oil exploration in AAberta and in Canada’s NOrth.
Trudeau also will be forced to invest more heavily in the Candian military and its readiness.
Right now Canada exports goods into the USA free of any tariffs while most US imports into Canada have tariffs in place.Thats about to change.
MAGA is MCGA !
ASSAYONS Mes Amis!
