i intend to resign as leader of the liberal party of canada and prime minister of canada once the party will have chosen its next leader after a national , competitive and robust process. yesterday evening, i asked the president of the liberal party to take the necessary steps. the country deserves a clear choice in the next election. and it has become obvious for me that if i am focused on internal fights, i can't be the best option for that election. the liberal party of canada is an important institution in the history of our great country and of our democracy as well. a new prime minister and leader of the liberal party will carry the values and the ideas of the liberal party into the next election. i am looking forward to that process in the coming months. we were elected for the third time in 2021 to strengthen the economy after the pandemic and to move the interests of canada forward in a complex world. and this is what i will continue to do and what we will all continue to do for canadians. liberal party of canada is an important institution in the history of our country. the ne

from prime minister to governor, saying canada should be the 51st state.a real sense that trudeau is not taken seriously. the same week trump announced those tariffs, the president of mexico shot back at trump, saying, this isn't happening. trump didn't say anything to her but he relentlessly mocked trudeau. in the right wing conservative media ecosystem, trump starts mocking trudeau, tweeting him, that is a bag signal -- a bad signal. and the attacks were relentless and they kept hitting trudeau. anchor: really interesting perspective. thank you for joining us tonight. around 60 million americans are under severe weather alerts as a winter storm sweeps through the east coast, bringing heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. as many as five deaths have reportedly been connected to the dangerous storm. seven states, including kentucky, virginia, maryland, and kansas have declared a state of emergency. in kansas, authorities have closed two major interstate highways. the storm has disrupted flight travel across the northeast due to heavy snowfall. the nati

no, canada, there's a reason trump mentioned timber and dairy and canada using subsidies and tar tellsde to harm u.s. exporters and that's why they're running third or fourth largest trade deficit and canada also has socialized medicine so we invent the miracle drugs at great expense and maybe one out of 20 drugs that you invest in will actually make it to market. we have a pay a regular market prays and same with mexico, there's an unfair situation that trump is trying to correct. liz: you know, last time we spoke, we talked about how canada spends way less on its military and nations on the defense. it spends just $24 billion annually on its military. instead it relies on america's military. but canada spends more than 10 times that on its national health system. , it's government run health system, $331 billion. expense only half the nato requirement on its own defense. i mean, it ranks only ahead of slovenia and turkey. >> that's right. the new york state police could go and conquer the canadian military. it's a free writer. it's a situation with climate change and it's 23409 cause

i want to say to the guest that the number one issue that canada has is the housing market in canada. young people cannot get a job. when you see that every store in canada right now, you see how we change the whole situation. she's bringing more from overseas. kids when they graduate, there no jobs in canada. number two, i want to say that this prime minister, the biggest mistake is while joe biden's president, you have no reason to get another president. you should wait until donald trump becomes the president and you visit the country. but the reality is canadians, there's nothing of housing. they don't have enough income to buy food, and he brought a lot of ukrainians, he brought a lot of syrians. the whole country changed everything. that is not the problem people are talking about. host: he mentioned unemployment, he mentioned housing, he mentioned immigration. the economy as a whole, how does that factor into the decision by the prime minister? guest: i think the caller is right. canada has had a very positive relationship with immigration over the years because they have had a

canada sends us a ton of energy. more than 60% of all u.s. crude oil comes from canada.is cars and car parts tropical crossing the border and consumer goods and lumber. fentanyl does not appear to come from canada all that often. in the first nine months, u.s. customs and border control seized 40 pounds of fentanyl and 16,000 pounds from the south. not a comparison there. in terms of immigration, you see that trend here. for context on the southern border, that number is 2 million in counters annually. ten times as much as we are seeing from the north. as for defense spending, we can't breakdown our defense spending by how much specifically benefits canada. i can tell you this, nato recommends countries spend 2% of gdp on defense. the u.s. spends about 3.4%. canada spends 1.4%. that puts it on par with countries like belgium and luxembourg. frank. >> megan cassella, thank you very much. we turn to pippa with the grab around greenland. >> reporter: good morning, frank. president-elect trump wants access to shipping routes and location in the arctic which is important as t

why does trump want canada so much? hears that canadians "love pouring gravy on their poutine," he knows they're not talking about... you know... by the way, this isn't the first time he mentioned this. he's been tweeting about making canada the 51st state for months now. side note, i'm impressed that he currently knows there are 50 states. but surely canada's not going to just take this! prime minister trudeau, tell' em no what's up! >> i intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister. no >> desi: goddamn it. goddamn it. well, welcome to the united states, canada. locker rooms are over there, our wi-fi password is hawktuah-69-420, and you pay for healthcare now! no but no, trudeau didn't resign just to make it easier for trump to take over canada. the fact is, he resigned because he's very unpopular now. no and if he ran again he'd have to face this guy, pierre polievre. he's the leader of the conservative party, and based on this interview, he's a pretty intimidating dude. no >> on the -- on the topic, i mean, in

he said canada would be obliterated if that happened, he -- i said canada should be the 51st state and that is where we are now. >> do you have any idea what happened to the drones? you said you thought the government knew what was happening with these drones over new jersey? >> they are in bedminster a lot. i can't imagine. i'm going to give you a report on drones about one day into the administration because i think it is ridiculous that they are not telling you about what is going on with the drones and it is not only with me. in virginia they have drones all over the place too and nobody is reporting it. i don't know why, you want to say something about that? >> one quick comment, we are home to the largest naval base in the world in quantico and we have a lot of seal teams and a huge national security infrastructure and now for two years running we have had drone incursion over secure airspace and we still don't know why and i think that is absolutely unacceptable. i think donald trump and the new leadership coming in will work diligently to understand who is behind this and what

canada is no greenland. we are a strong nation with a massive trade with the u.s. 9 million americans wake up every morning erin to produce for ontario. our trade is split down the middle. no matter if it is a critical minerals that china cut the u.s. off of, we have the critical minerals, no matter if it is nickel. let's start onshoring american jobs and canadian jobs. the problem is not canada. so many congress people and senators and never once said canada is the problem. i tell you who the problem is, china is, shipping in cheap parts, going through mexico, they are slapping a made in mexico sticker and shipping it through canada. costing american and canadian jobs that is unacceptable and we need a bilateral deal with the u.s. >> appreciate your time, thank you very much, sir. >> reporter: thank you very much, erin. >>> next, world leaders, taking on elon musk, calling him out. we will tell you why, what is going on. >>> the man behind new orleans deadly attack relied on high-tech glasses to carry out t

is subsidized in canada and paying so much money to canada.ct trumps you should not happen. the president-elect's key issues of his administration is immigration and that is something he sees canada can do much more to help. in fact, prime minister trudeau after meeting with president- elect trump announced more funding for immigration -related measures over there on our northern border. certainly a lot of implications if indeed prime minister trudeau steps aside, what happens with who replaces him? does a conservative party replace him? part of this larger populace backlash as mentioned has been hitting across the world. >> you mentioned how trump has gone on social media calling trudeau governor of the great state of canada. what does trump want to see from america's relationship with canada? >> this is something trump has been saying his entire political career. he has this frustration the u.s. is paying too much money to other countries through certain security agreements and this frustration that the u.s. is simply rolling over for canada

that is the issue with canada. he suggested economic measures to bring canada as part of the u.s. he called the border an artificial line. he said the u.s. spends too much to defend canada and the trade deficit is too large. he suggested we don't actually need the products we get from canada, cars for example. he threatened for both canada and mexico higher tariffs that can going to place. it's about the way he views the united states trade deficit with partners. also some territorial disputes about the way much economic relationships work, whether it is the flow of goods through the panama canal or greenland, which has strategic importance location-wise even though it is a small country of less than 60,000 people. when it comes to greenland, his son don jr. is actually there in the country today. you on most posted a picture, suggesting the people agreement want to be part of america and that should be welcome. scarlet: i'm glad you mentioned the trade deficit. the trade deficit we got data showing it widened on the largest jump on imports since 2022. a lot of that perhaps driven

i said what would happen to canada if we didn't? he said can that would be obliterated at that would happen. then i said canada should be the 51st state and that's where we are now. >> it kind of disappeared very suddenly. you know what happened to the drones question. >> what happened to drones? >> you said you thought the government knew what was happening with these drones through new jersey. >> i can't imagine. i am going to give you a report on drones about one day into the administration. i think it's ridiculous they're not telling you what's going on with the drones. that is not only with me, i was told me today that in virginia they have drones all over the place. no one is reporting it i don't know why. yours is something about that? >> one quick comment. we are home to the largest naval base in the world and quantico and we have a lot of seal teams that have a huge national security infrastructure. enough are two years running we have had drone incursion over secure airspace. we still do not know why. i think that's absolu

his policies have laid waste to canada's economy.ns he is not going to take up trump's offers to become governor. writing on x there isn't a snowball chance in hell canada would become part of the united states. not clear how much trump is trolling trudeau on their it. does help prove one thing. populism is alive and well and trump helped that -- helped make that happen in america and across the globe. >> it's exactly how canada is going to fix the mess trudeau got them in. meet pierre poll lava. canada's and could become the country's next prime minister. is he pretty funny. he is pretty brash and helping to usher in a new style of unapologetic canadian politics. >> a lot of people would say you are taking a page out of the donald trump. >> which people would say that? >> well, i'm sure a great many canadians. but. >> like who? >> ha ha i don't know who. >> why should canadians trust you with their vote? >> common sense. common since for a change. sheelg la, is canada ready for somebody like poilievre. eating an apple. entertaining

/canada relations?deau will be there short- term. >> that is right and frankly, i do not think best dealing with president elect trump is a matter of political colors. i think it's personal chemistry. it is a matter of tactics and negotiating engagement. justin trudeau will hold down the fort for the next few weeks. i am doubtful that trump when he takes office will actively continue to engage with someone who is a lame-duck. i think he will want to deal with someone who will be in power. in the immediate start of the second trump presidency, that's probably not going to mean great things for canada. it's not a great time for the country to be in this protracted political turmoil selecting a liberal party leader, new prime minister, and probably launching into a federal election. at the same time, dealing with trump in the u.s./canada trade relation is a long game. there will be renegotiation clearly on the question of the free-trade agreement between the two countries and mexico to the south. the new p

he has been pushing this idea of making canada the 51st state. i know that's not something you've taken too kindly to, but how seriously do you take that threat? >> i mean, let's remember i got to work with president trump through his first four years in office, and we were able to renegotiate the most important trade deal either of us have, which is the canada-u.s. free trade deal, in a way that was beneficial to both our countries. and i know that as a as a successful negotiator, he likes to keep people a little off balance. the 51st state, that's not going to happen. it's just a nonstarter. canadians are incredibly proud of being canadian, but people are now talking about that as opposed to talking about, for example, what the impact of 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum coming into the united states on energy, whether it's oil and gas or electricity? i mean, no american wants to pay 25% more for electricity or oil and gas coming in from canada. and that's something that i think people need to pay a little more attention to. and perhaps the, th

canada, i don't know is all that blue right now. canada, to your point, was very, very upset. and what happened was very similar to what happened here. back in april, there was a poll. and a majority, two thirds of canadians, said they did not feel like the economy was improving and did not feel like their lives were getting better. that very same month, that should be a canary in the coal mine for the justin trudeau. that very same month justin trudeau goes on a media blitz handling everybody's economics making everyone's lives better and blamie ing irrationalism fo his lack of popularity. if that sounds familiar, it should. i don't know how blue most canadians are. they are very upset about inflation and immigration as well. >> that's a global -- that doesn't mean trump gets to buy them. by the way. >> that's a global phenomenon. and trudeau is now out the door. but the average canadian, even the average canadian conservative is more liberal than most americans. i've done a little bit of time in canada. i want you to know, except for ontario, it is very, very blue up there.

greenland is next to canada.t's the big giant white thing currently, as i said, a territory of denmark. so, i mean, do you really just think it's all a joke? >> well, god bless greenland. canada is no greenland, i can assure you of that. we're strong nations. we're a strong nation. we have massive trade with the u.s. 9 million americans wake up every morning, erin, to produce products for ontario alone. our trade is split equally down the middle of $500 billion. and no matter if it's the critical minerals that china has cut the u.s. off of, we have the critical minerals no, matter if it's nickel. let's start onshoring jobs, american jobs and canadian jobs. the problem isn't canada. i've talked to so many governors and congresspeople and senators. never once did they say canada's the problem. i'll tell you who the problem is. china's the problem. china's shipping in cheap parts, putting them through mexico. mexico's slapping a made in mexico sticker on and shipping it up through the u.s. skpanda, costing american

you don't forget we basically protect canada. but here's the problem with canada. so many friends up there, uh, i love the canadian people. they're great, but we're spending hundreds of billions a year to protect it. we're spending hundreds of billions a year to take care of canada. we we lose in trade deficits. we're losing massive. we don't need their cars. you know, they make 20% of our cars. we don't need that. i'd rather make them in detroit. we don't need the cars. we don't need their lumber. we have massive fields of lumber. we don't need their lumber. we have to unrestrict them because stupid people put, you know, restrictions on. but i can do that with an executive order. we don't need anything they have. we don't need their dairy products. we have more than they have. we don't need anything. so why are we losing $200 billion a year and more to protect canada? and i said that to, as i called him, governor trudeau. i said, listen, what would happen if we didn't subsidize you if we didn't? because we give them a lot of money, we help them. as an example, we'

one way or another, canada has to hold an election by october. all this, some observers suggest, some of the same forces shaping politics elsewhere in the world — rising populism, a cost—of—living crisis, rising concerns about levels of immigration — all of those things are at play. there will be criticism within mr trudeau's own party aboutjust how long he took to see the writing of the wall, leaving his colleagues very little room in the run up to that election to get their house in order. the stage is almost certainly is that, as of have been explaining for a return to power of the conservatives, pierre poilievre, who many see as a kind of canadian trump, albeit slightly more moderate and slightly more polite in the way he tends to frame things, but nonetheless canada looking at a very different political future later this year. reaction has been pouring in from world leaders and across the canadian political spectrum since the prime minister's announcement. the spokesperson for us presidentjoe biden said that justin trudeau has been a "stalwa

the anatomy, how it welcome canada is just into a dog. has announced table resign as prime minister as and as head of the liberal party. should i say that internal potties travels and made it clear that he couldn't lead the liberals into the coming election? he said he would stay on his prime minister until the potty chose his replacement. even the elements went on just intruders side, as he came out to a know his resignation. i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust, nationwide competitive process. this country deserves a real choice in the next election. and it is become clear to me that if i'm having to fight internal battles, i cannot be the best option in that election. so scheme of those internal bustles suddenly became fall to public such for the last month when he tried to remote his then finance minister and long time allied, christie, a freeland, she resigned instead of accusing the prime minister, pursuing political gimmicks rather than kind of his best interest a
