Canadians agree with Trump on border, lack confidence in Trudeau on tariffs
The lack of confidence was prevalent across the country, in rural and urban areas, in every age group, and among both men and women

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau may have had a positive meeting with the U.S. president-elect last week in Mar-a-Lago, but Canadians’ confidence in his ability to handle Donald Trump is low. A majority of Canadians also agreed with the president-elect that “Canada should take significant measures to increase border security,” according to a new Léger poll.
Just, 29 per cent of the poll’s respondents believe Trump’s concerns about illegal immigration and drug trafficking from Canada to the U.S. are unwarranted,
“They’ve got work to do. The border issue does present somewhat of an opportunity for the government to take some real deliberate action,” said Leger vice-president Andrew Enns.
Trump threatened last month to impose punitive 25-per-cent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico when he takes office in January if the countries did not tighten up their borders to prevent drug smuggling and illegal migration to the U.S.
Leger found that less than a third of Canadians polled (31 per cent) said they are very or somewhat confident in the federal government’s ability to successfully handle the new U.S. president and his tariff proposals. The lack of confidence was prevalent across the country, in rural and urban areas, in every age group, and among both men and women.
Only Liberal voters (67 per cent) said they have confidence in the federal government’s ability to succeed. That number drops sharply among Conservative voters (19 per cent).
“Canadians are deeply dissatisfied with the government. The popularity of the prime minister and his party is suffering, and I think that… they’re just not feeling confident about how the prime minister is going to measure up against the incoming president,” said Enns.
But voters are very worried about the impact of Trump’s tariffs, the poll found. Eight in 10 Canadians (79 per cent) said they’re concerned they will lead to higher inflation in Canada. A similar number (78 per cent) said they think the tariffs will increase the likelihood of a recession.
Since then, Prime Minister Trudeau’s government has tried to reassure Canadians not to panic. Last week he attended an unannounced dinner with Donald Trump at his private Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago. Also there wasDominic LeBlanc, the minister in charge of border security, and several of Trump’s cabinet picks, including his candidate for “border czar,” Tom Homan.
The polling was done between Nov. 29 and Dec. 1 with a sample of 1,532 Canadians via an online panel. While margins of error can’t be applied to online panels, a probability sample of this size would be plus or minus 2.50 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
The same should apply to Pharma.

I saw that! She refused to give a direct answer (or any answer) to how she voted on Prop 36.
I have been thinking this as well.
I don't want to know how he/she earned those medals.
How? It says how in the title: "LGBT Experiences in the Forward Deployed Navy".

Thank you! That was brilliant!
Does this affect T-Mobile's Section 230 protections?
I wouldn't go back. Some of his top guys have quit in protest. He should just start a new company that is aligned with his goals instead of this board. I'm sure Greg and he will find no shortage of backing.
If you come for the king, you best not miss. Looks like they fell short.
I think they should get as many vaccines as they can. Two if Joe says.
For Democrats, rigging is Standard Operating Procedure. They know no other way. Otherwise, they will never win.
This is the correct response.
They should add blame logs to show who added the code.
I don't think the DA ever intended to arrest Trump. It was intended as a Sword of Damocles to hang over Trump's head while he campaigned. But, Trump cleverly called their bluff, and the DA folded.
If you have 500 million dollars and keep it in one place, that's on you. Even after losing that much, she probably has more left over that I will probably ever have. And the income that she gets from her many sources of income means she would probably never even feel it. I mean what is she gonna do now? Start clipping coupons and shopping at Walmart?

The Biden "fist" couple? I guess we know why Jill was kissing Douglas.
Exactly. This framing of this, "You're the winners," is a pacing move. I don't know about the repo part. That could be a lot of reasons. But, this whole speech feels really off to me. I can't quite put my finger on it. Even when he's supposedly admitting he was wrong, he comes off as manipulative.
Is it possible to do a FOIA to get the original and corrected data? What would one ask for?
The spice will not flow.
That's great! Now, she has natural immunity.
