He's doing exactly what Trump told him to do...or else.
Good to see that arrogant little bastard taken down a peg, he's done a lot of damage to Canada.

Liberal Justin Trudeau has suddenly launched a Trump-style crackdown on immigration as the Canadian government crumbles around him.
Canada's newly appointed Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc announced on Tuesday that the $1.3bn CAD ($930m USD) slate of new measures 'will secure our border against the flow of illegal drugs and irregular migration.'
The new measures will include 24/7 surveillance of the border using 'helicopters, drones and mobile surveillance towers', and upgraded detection tools to catch drugs slipping over the border.
The legislation is based on five pillars: Slowing the trade of fentanyl, improving border patrols' coordination, providing new tools for law enforcement, easing information sharing among departments and slowing migrant crossings, reports TNC.
Trudeau was previously famed for his progressive policies and urged migrants to flock to Canada - but has changed his tune in recent weeks as his polls tank.
It comes weeks after Trump threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on all imports from Canada, citing Trudeau's struggles in ensuring border security.
The five pillars appear to attempt to directly address the president-elect's concerns, as Trump has cited high illegal migration at the border and the flow of fentanyl as particular points of interest.
In his press conference Tuesday announcing the 'strike force', Leblanc said the actions are intended to 'detect and address fentanyl and its precursors.'
'Our investments will enable the Canada Border Service Agency to deploy new chemical detection, imaging and artificial intelligence-powered tools as well as new K-9 teams to better detect illegal drugs at ports of entry,' he said.
The move comes days after rumors swirled that Trudeau would resign as his liberal government crumbled around him, including LeBlanc's predecessor Chrystia Freeland, who also served as deputy prime minister, quitting the party.

Copying? He’s submitting to Trump’s demands.
Should have done this back in 2016 and then they could show how much progress they made.
We should annex Canada and create two new states from it. One will be named “Team” and the other will be named “Canada.”

The provinces could become new states - but we really don’t want Quebec. Maybe we could trade it to France for French Polynesia? :)
Quebec would never want to join the U.S. because there are too many grifting ethnic groups to compete with. Also, the French language would die quickly if Quebec was a state. L’horreur!
He realized that 20 million illegals running into Canada( population 40 million) to escape deportation to their 3rd World countries of origin, would collapse Canadian society.
It would quickly turn into Canadistan
My God, he looks more like Castro than Castro.
“My God, he looks more like Castro than Castro.”
All he needs is a beard.
