Thanks for the update, Captain Obvious. Just because Trudeau's no longer Prime Minister doesn’t erase the years of tone-deaf leadership, or his front-row appearance at a Katy Perry concert. Being out of office doesn’t grant retroactive sainthood. Actions still have consequences, even if he's now just a drama teacher with a security detail.

Trump threatens Canada for recognizing ‘Palestine’ Aug 1, 2025 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams 6 Comments In an era where gutlessness and ignorance about a primary threat — Islamic jihadists — have come to define far too many politicians, Trump has taken a stand and has issued a threat to Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney for moving to recognize Palestinian statehood. “Trump threatens Canada on trade deal after Carney moves to recognise Palestine,” by Chris Michael, Guardian, July 31, 2025: Donald Trump has threatened Canada after it moved to recognise a Palestinian state, reacting to Mark Carney’s announcement by saying that signing a US trade deal would now be “very hard”. The Canadian prime minister said on Wednesday that if the Palestinian Authority promised to meet certain conditions, including demilitarising and holding elections without Hamas, Canada would join France, the UK and other allies in formally recognising a state of Palestine at the UN general assembly in New York in September. Portugal said on Thursday it was also considering recognition, and Germany said such a move should come at the end of talks on a two-state solution. Trump, who had appeared to give tacit approval to the UK prime minster, Keir Starmer, for Britain’s own declaration earlier in the week, has since reacted to the growing movement toward recognising Palestine by doubling down on his support of Israel’s position, saying that doing so “rewards Hamas”. “The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable,” Carney said in his announcement. He said the leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, had assured him it could meet the goals he had laid out, but acknowledged that “much has to happen before a democratic viable state is established”.… Trump did not give tacit approval to Starmer. He initially said nothing, and then announced the “US was “not in that camp,” stating that he did “not discuss a UK plan to recognize a Palestinian state with Starmer.” Carney’s “conditions” under which Canada would recognize a Palestinian state are questionable. For instance, Carney talks about the Palestinians demilitarizing and holding elections without Hamas. Does Carney really not know that the Palestinian Authority is as dangerous as Hamas? Does he not know that the Palestinian “resistance” from the river the sea is a central focus for all jihadists within Israel and surrounding the Jewish state? And that “globalize the antifa” is the Palestinian chant for the world to come together and support the Palestinian “resistance” to oppose the very existence of the state of Israel? Does Carney not know that the Palestinians really seek a one-state solution, that is, the total destruction of Israel, according to the Palestinian National Charter? Read more about Canada, Palestinian statehood and what Mahmoud Abbas and his PA are really up to HERE. Mark Carney should not have any faith in Mahmoud Abbas. Carney’s stand for Palestinians over the interests of Israel didn’t just begin. In November 2019, Canada broke ranks with its long tradition of supporting Israel at the UN. In a sudden switch, Canada, under Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party at that time, voted in support of a “pro-Palestine” UN resolution which was sponsored by the *State of Palestine, North Korea, Egypt*, Nicaragua, and Zimbabwe. The Resolution called for a “just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement” to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and explicitly referred to contested lands between the two countries as “Occupied Palestinian Territories.” Resolution A/C.3/74/L.58 urged the international community to “support and assist the Palestinian people in the early realization of their right to self-determination.” Carney has also not come out openly to say what borders he supports for the Palestinian state, and he should be questioned about this. Canada is attempting to strong-arm Israel, and won’t succeed. Israel is determined to defend its country and people. The Jewish state is fighting for its very existence, and learned on October 7 about the dire cost of appeasing jihadists, and that a policy of deterrence with jihadists does not work. Jihadists pretend to negotiate, only to buy time to strengthen their objectives. The Palestinian “resistance” from the River to the Sea is central to the Palestinian cause. Israel knows it, Trump knows it and Trump has now stepped in to rein in Carney et al. It’s too bad, however, that Trump didn’t support Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who is a strong supporter of Canada’s constitution, its freedoms, and Israel.
