What is Canada’s overall response to Donald Trump’s tariffs and bullying?
Things are heating up in Canada, folks, as seems like all the major Canadian political parties now are escalating their rhetoric about how Canada intends to immediately strike back against Donald Trump and Trump's tariffs and Trump's bullying tactics. Now, you'll recall our previous reporting about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He took that trip tomorrow log. To try to educate Donald Trump on what tariffs are. Donald Trump responded by mocking Prime Minister Trudeau and calling Canada the 51st state and posting memes of himself showing that he was conquering Canada, but it ended up being actually the Alps that he was showing. So Donald Trump was doing that. Then Prime Minister Trudeau. Trudeau escalated his rhetoric talking about retaliatory tariffs.
The next thing that we showed here was how the NDP was responding. The New Democratic Party, another political party in Canada that has joined in a coalition with the Liberal Party right now, and that's why Prime Minister Trudeau continues to survive no confidence votes there. The leader of the NDP in Canada is a guy in Named Jagmeet Singh, and he responded powerfully about uh Canada not going to take bullying from Donald Trump. And then I showed you that uh House of Commons speech uh the other day by uh Canadian MP Charlie uh Angus, who I thought gave an incredible house floor speech where he called Donald Trump a predator. What's fascinating to me right now? is the Conservative Party in Canada. At the House of Commons level, being led by Pierre Polivier, and then with premers like uh Doug Ford of Ontario, you now are starting to see even the conservative party leaders who previously were sucking up to MAGA recognizing how the tide is turning in Canada right now.
The Conservative Party thought that. They were going to be able to take control, but they allied themselves so closely with the MAGA stuff. You had Doug Ford, again, the conservative leader in Ontario. He previously said that his support of Donald Trump would never waver. And after locking arms with MAGA, Donald Trump responded by bullying Canada. So now these conservative leaders, the premieres and also the Members of parliament separately all kind of look like they've been selling the people of Canada a bill of goods. So let me share this with you right here, because you have Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario. He's now threatening the United States that Canada is ready to cut off energy to the United States in retaliation for Trump's tariff.
Tariffs. Here he is right here, the Ontario conservative premier talking about cutting off energy to the United States if Trump tries to bully them and imposes those tariffs. Here, play this clip.
But uh let's make no mistake about it. Uh as I as I mentioned to the Prime Minister, the rest of the premiers, uh, we need to be ready. Uh we need to be ready to fight. Uh this fight is coming uh uh 100% on January the 20th or January 21st. Uh but we'll use every tool in our toolbox, including uh cutting them off energy that we're sending down there. Uh folks, uh this is coming. It's not if it is, it's coming. And it's coming January twentieth or twenty-first. And uh we need to be prepared. We need to stand as a country. We need to stand united as uh Canadians and uh work hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder with uh our colleagues across the country and And uh we're ready to do it. We'll use every tool in our toolbox to uh fight back.
I c we can't sit back and roll over. Uh we just we just won't as a country. We never have.
Now, what's so fascinating to me about uh the premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, saying that is let me show you, for example, back in, I think this was around 2016, where Doug Ford said that his support of Donald Trump would never waver.
How did Prime Minister Justin Trudeau react to Trump’s “51st state” memes?
Here, play this clip.
Are you still a supporter of Donald Trump?
Absolutely. I wouldn't waver. Like uh the GOP's wavering. I wouldn't waver.
Now, those who know Doug Ford in Canada know that Doug Ford is kind of like a MAGA guy. Doug Ford's daughters have been seen going around Canada with their MAGA outfits.
