Trudeau is enough of an idiot that it's plausible, and he's narcissistic enough to think he can get away with it.

The thing about Rogan is that he gets people to be themselves. I think going forward, if you can't just go be yourself and jaw-jack with podcast hosts for a few hours, you're not going anywhere in American politics. The era of TV, the scripted sound, and the carefully bite is over. The era of the longform livestreamed bull session is here, and the people who thrived in the previous era will be shattered by the new one.

He's also too much of a coward to sacrifice himself. He literally can't go to a restaurant without hiding behind a phalanx of police.
JJ is the Canadian equivalent of early pre-TYT Cenk, he's a 'conservative' who hasn't yet clued in that nothing he believes is actually conservative. I expect him to flip hard within Trump's term.

All Trudeau has to do is say who his dumbass daddy was and he gets whatever he wants.

Vance really needed to be repaced by Pressler holding up PA.
The fabulous gay man in the apron is much more fitting, and he honestly did deliver PA to Trump with his efforts.

I want to see him try that and fail. Trump survives yet another assassination attempt, this one ordered by the PM of Canada, and January 21 becomes the day Canada ceases to exist as anything more than a geographical concept.

He's a speed limit liberal, which is what most never Trumpers are. They're the party of managed decline.

What you point out here is a big reason why the US hates Iran so much: the current regime took US diplomats hostage. People forget about that for some reason but it deserves to be stated how unbelievably bad of a move that is.
Violating the global gentleman's agreement is insane.
Vance making himself the mom is really, really funny.

We all know the modern left would have been uber-Nazi's back in the day.
When was the last time the KKK actually did something relevent? I'm serious.
One of these days I really need to get a deeper understanding of Candian politics.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau flies to Florida to meet with Trump on tariffs threat

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has flown to Florida to have dinner with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after Trump threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products.
Trump threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if they don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across the southern and northern borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders.
Although Trump once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest” during his first term, ties between the two countries have remained among the closest in the world. Trudeau is the first leader from the Group of Seven countries to visit Trump since the Nov. 4 election.
Joining Trump and Trudeau at dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to lead the Interior Department, Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser, and the three men’s wives, according to a person familiar with the dinner plans who was not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity.
Also at the dinner, the person said, were David McCormick, just elected U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, and his wife Dina Powell, a former deputy national security adviser under Trump, as well as Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff.
Trudeau said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Thursday after speaking with Trump that she is confident a tariff war with the United States will be averted.
“We’re going to work together to meet some of the concerns,” Trudeau told reporters in Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “But ultimately it is through lots of real constructive conversations with President Trump that I am going to have, that will keep us moving forward on the right track for all Canadians.”
Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he’s talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island.
“It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said.
“Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added.
Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his initial term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully re-negotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries.
“We can work together as we did previously,” Trudeau said.
Trump made the tariff threat Monday while railing against an influx of illegal migrants, even though the numbers at the Canadian border pale in comparison to the southern border.
The U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone — and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian one between October 2023 and September 2024.
Trump also railed about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border are few in comparison to the Mexican border. 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.
Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are ready to make new investments in border security.
Trudeau called Trump after he made his social media posts on the border.
When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum.
Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the U.S. should Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products, a senior official told The Associated Press this week.
A government official said Canada is preparing for every eventuality and has started thinking about what items to target with tariffs in retaliation. The official stressed no decision has been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day.
About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada.
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 in for national security.
Canada is one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world, and 77% of Canada’s exports go to the U.S.
“Canada has reason to fear because Trump is impulsive, often influenced by the last thing he sees on Fox News,” said Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto. “He can leverage that by catering to what he thinks will sound and look good to the public rather than to what happens or will happen.”
