Trudeau hoping trade war with Trump will boost re-election chances: Ezra Levant
The prime minister scolded Americans for electing Trump instead of making "progress" and electing Kamala Harris as their first female president.

On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra discussed why Justin Trudeau's combative stance towards President-elect Trump is really just a strategy to boost his chances of being re-elected.
Trudeau has made a number of comments in recent weeks criticizing Americans for electing Trump as their president.
While addressing the Halifax Chamber of Commerce earlier this week, Trudeau insinuated that people in the U.S. will regret their decision to elect Trump.
"I think there's a number of folks in different countries, and I won't point out any particular one, where folks are going to be wondering about the choice they maybe made in elections. Lets not be that kind of country in Canada," he said.

Trudeau also took aim at Americans earlier this week for electing Trump instead of their first female president. "We were supposed to be on a steady if difficult sometimes march towards progress," he said.
"And yet, just a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president," added the PM.

Speaking about Trudeau's comments, Ezra said, "Yeah, how's this quarrel with Donald Trump going to end? I'll tell you how — Trudeau wants a trade war. He actually wants one."
With Trudeau trailing Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre by a significant margin in the polls, Ezra suggested Trudeau will try to frame the next election as 'standing up' to Trump.
The president-elect will take the oath of office on January 20, 2025 in Washington, D.C., marking the start of his second term in the White House.

Bruce Atchison commented 2024-12-12 14:58:47 -0500This is truly frightening. Trudeau thinks he can win a fight with Trump and gain support in the process. But people realize what a childish person he is and what a powerful person Trump is. Trudeau would rather sink Canada into a deep recession or a depression just to stay on in the PMO. If Pierre Poilievre was smart, he’d campaign on this reckless move of Trudeau’s too. Trudeau is the enemy of the working people and the poor, not their champion.
