The prime minister has largely disappeared from public view since Dec. 16, when Chrystia Freeland — his finance minister and once his most powerful ally in cabinet — resigned in devastating fashion, with a public letter that criticized him. Trudeau spent much of the holidays at a ski resort in western Canada and is not planning any official events or appearances by the end of the week, according to a person familiar with his schedule. He has given no public indication yet of when he’ll announce a decision about his future. Members of the Liberal caucus of Quebec, Trudeau’s home province, have asked the prime minister to step aside, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., following a similar declaration by those in Ontario. Some Liberal members of the House of Commons have gone public, including Toronto lawmaker Rob Oliphant, who posted a letter asking Trudeau to make way for “a new leader elected through a robust, open leadership contest.” Liberal representatives from the Atlantic provinces said Donald Trump’s imminent return to power in Washington makes it more urgent that Trudeau makes a decision. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2025/01/02/trudeau-leaves-canada-in-suspense-as-anxious-liberals-urge-him-to-go/

On Monday, the Canadian government proposed a budget of 1.3 billion for border security following a threat by President-elect Donald Trump to impose a 25 percent tariff on all Canadian products going into the US unless the country cracked down on the illegal flow of narcotics and migrants entering the United States. The funding would consist of establishing a new joint "strike force" to combat organized crime, as well as supplying helicopters, drones, and mobile surveillance towers to the RCMP, the CBC reported. https://thepostmillennial.com/canada-launches-1-3-billion-border-security-initiative-after-trump-pressured-trudeau

Canadian businessman and "Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary appeared on Fox Business Thursday, voicing his dissatisfaction over Liberal Party Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's imploding leadership. O'Leary suggested that under President-elect Donald Trump's second term, the United States and Canadian economies should unite to create an economic powerhouse. "This could be the beginning of an economic union," O'Leary said, noting, "Think about the power of combining two economies, erasing the border between Canada and the United States and putting all that resource up to the northern borders where China and Russia are knocking on the doors. Give a common currency, figure out taxes, and get everything trading both ways." https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/i-idea-kevin-oleary-calls-economic-union-between-us-canada-secure-future

Both Trudeau and former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, who Trudeau has been courting to become Canada’s next finance minister, shared posts on X Thursday, a day after Trump’s latest jab at Canada in his Christmas Day message. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/politics/2024/12/27/leblanc-joly-to-meet-with-incoming-trump-administration-officials-in-florida/

Armstrong says, “Our computer has been projecting that we are going into a depression in some areas and a recession in other areas." " A depression most likely in Europe and a recession in the United States up until 2028. . . . At my November conference, everybody was celebrating after Trump won. I stood up and told my clients, ‘I’m sorry, Trump is not going to have a blissful administration, and he’s not going to prevent the economic decline.’ (Please remember, Armstrong predicted Donald Trump would win in a landslide many months before the November 2024 Election.)

President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose a sweeping 25% tariff on all goods and services from Canada, Trade between Canada and the US is the largest of any two nations, with cross-border trade totaling $926 billion in 2023—roughly $2.5 billion daily. This dark tariff reality for Trudeau of not responding adequately to Trump's border security demand risks pushing Canada into an economic crisis. The new border proposal outlines the deployment of drones, helicopters, and other advanced technologies along the 5,525-mile northern border. David Asher, who previously led a Trump-era task force on fentanyl, commented on the border proposal. He appeared on CBC News Network earlier this week to share his insights. "US law enforcement has a lot of sources telling us - that not only the Mexican cartels are setting up operations in Canada - but also Chinese organized crime - and even Iranian organized crime..." He stated that all three organizations were tied into a massive bust in Vancouver of drugs and chemicals equal to more than 95 million pills. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-era-official-blasts-canada-over-fentanyl-super-labs-transnational-crime-gangs

What effects will a declining Canadian dollar have on the Canadian economy? President-elect Trump’s threatened trade actions against Canada could also exert further downward pressure on the loonie, especially if the Bank of Canada responds to Trump’s actions by making additional rate cuts. For context, it took $1.33 Canadian dollars to purchase one U.S. dollar on January 1, 2024, compared to $1.43 Canadian dollars on December 13, 2024. This represents a substantial depreciation in the Canadian dollar’s value of approximately 7.6 per cent over the period. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/commentary/declining-canadian-dollar-could-stifle-productivity-growth-canada
