Trudeau is hiding lol

He's literally speaking to Trump as you post this. I don't like Trudeau nor vote federal liberal, but he's not hiding when he's talking to the president and in the news talking about counter tariffs.

Trudeau is the worse one to be talking to Trump. Trump's opinion of Trudeau is probably one of the few things Trump is correct on. Trudeau is one of the reasons the US is threatening to hit us as hard as they are. If Canada had a credible and respected leader chances are Trump would view us much better.

But until Trudeau and the Liberals are gone, Canada will suffer.

No choice for anyone else to speak to Trump at the time, we need that election asap and get Poilievre in.

Nice to agree on this point, concerning who must take on Canada's governance for the next 4 years.
First the new PM must clean up this horrible mess, team Trudeau and singh left Canada in,
financially, socially, politically, internationally and pretty much every thing in between.
Even the current conflict with the US, concerning the safety and security of our borders, to protect Canada, the US and North America, plus Canada's commitment to NATO, would not have happened, if Canada had been a reliable, active and equable partner, but instead left our borders safety and security with so many holes that allowed this chaotic situation to skyrocket every where in Canada.
One measure of this is the 44,000 and steadily increasing number of casualties' from the safe supply and injection policy.
Luckily Alberta's new approach to the supply, addiction and its consequences and beef up control at the borders has already shown success.
Plus Alberta's work kind of behind the science with the tariff issue has been very beneficial for Canada and Alberta. Well done Danielle.
The most polarized and divided population ever here in Canada's history, and for the working class, excluding most taxpayers funded jobs, to put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads and raise a family has been difficult especially for the younger and new family generation.
A low loonie helps with our export, but alternat routes to markets,, competitiveness due to over reaching regulators, gatekeepers, endless bureaucracy and the tax burdens at many levels, has chased capital and investors away from Canada and stalled new capital to be invested.
Plus the low loonie makes necessary imports much more costly.
Furthermore the traditional interprovincial trade protectionism, refusing the suggested coast to coast
"Utility freeway" for pipelines & powerlines and lines not invented yet, like the CP Rail Way did 158 years ago, was squashed by the "progressives"
What has happened in the last 9.5 will simply not correct it self, as this current chaos was well planned and the WEF cult captains, ranks and followers, worked hard with $1 Trillion borrowed taxpayers money,
to achieve the big reset, to allow a take over by the globalist "new World Order" where you own nothing.
Then to be stuffed in a 15 minute concrete and asphalt jungle, filled with packed and stacked people kind cubicles.
Luckily for most Canadians, this failed and like our neighbour, Canadians rejects to be a member of the WEF Fourth Reich fantasy by a few very rich globalist and a bunch of self prescribed new world order elites.

This comment gives me hope "we need that election asap and get Poilievre in"

I am sure the current issues with the US will be resolved then and Canada can accelerate our renewed commitment to keep North America secure, safe and free and be fully committed to NATO.
Again attract capital to position Canada to be self sufficient and trade surpluses with many more trading partners, to keep Canada's traditional ways. This to continue with our very successful life style of freedom with opportunities to earned paychecks or profits for businesses, who can pay tax to help those unable and support Canada's needed public institutions thriving for Canadians.
