THE CANADIAN PRESS/Riley Smith Listen to this article 00:01:06 OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said dealing with incoming president Donald Trump and his thundering on trade will be "a little more challenging" than the last time he was in the White House. Speaking at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce, Trudeau said that's because Trump's team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016. Even still, Trudeau said the answer is not to panic and said Canada can rally together to address the tough scenario the nation will face following Trump's inauguration in January. Trump has threatened 25 per cent tariffs against Canada and Mexico, if the two nations do not beef up their borders to his satisfaction. On the weekend, Trump appeared in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," where the president-elect said he can't guarantee the tariffs won't raise prices for U.S. consumers but that eventually tariffs will "make us rich." "All I want to do is I want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field," he said. Trudeau warned that steep tariffs could be "devastating for the Canadian economy" and cause "just horrific losses in all of our communities," and that Trump's approach is to introduce "a bit of chaos" to destabilize his negotiating partners. But he also said that Canada exports a range of goods to the U.S., from steel and aluminum to crude oil and agricultural commodities, all of which would get more expensive and mean real hardship for Americans at the same time. "For years, Americans have been paying more for their homes than they should because of unjust tariffs on softwood lumber. Maybe this level of tariffs will actually have them realize that this is something they are doing to themselves," Trudeau said. "Trump got elected on a commitment to make life better and more affordable for Americans, and I think people south of the border are beginning to wake up to the real reality that tariffs on everything from Canada would make life a lot more expensive." Experts, including Canada's former top trade negotiator Steve Verheul, have warned the country needs to be ready to respond if Trump goes through with his tariff threats. The prime minister said his government is still mulling over "the right ways" to respond, referencing Canada's calculated approach when Trump hit Canada with steel and aluminum tariffs. "It was the fact that we put tariffs on bourbon and Harley-Davidsons and playing cards and Heinz ketchup and cherries and a number of other things that were very carefully targeted because they were politically impactful to the president's party and colleagues," he said. That's how Canada was able to "punch back in a way that was actually felt by Americans," he added. Trudeau also said the country needs to rally together and work past its political differences. He offered up some rare words of praise for Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe — a frequent political thorn in his side and "no big fan of mine" — as one of Canada's strongest voices during that tumultuous time period when NAFTA was under threat. "His voice with governors down south, his making the case for Canadian workers and Canadian trade in a way that complemented the arguments that we were making, did a better job of showing what Canadian unity was and (what) Canada's negotiating position could be to a United States that has a political system that is incredibly fractured and fractious," Trudeau said. On Sunday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said "every single Conservative would tell every single American" that tariffs on Canada would be a bad idea — and also took time to bill Trudeau as a weak leader. One member of his caucus, Conservative MP Jamil Jivani, said he had dinner with incoming vice-president JD Vance and British Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch over the weekend in Arlington, Va. He said it's crucial right now to be building "strong relationships with our allies."

Wisconsin Republicans will cast electoral votes for Trump in line with federal, not state, lawThe NRL have been called to make sure and during the All-Stars game with both originally expected to miss round one of the new season. South Sydney Rabbitohs star Mitchel endured a turbulent 2024 campaign having been player-of-the-match in . He then suffered a foot injury not long after and didn't play again for the Rabbitohs or his state. Mitchell then copped a one-game ban and a $20,000 fine after a photo emerged of him with what appeared to be a white powder during a trip to Dubbo for some coaching clinics. Despite the Rabbitohs' best efforts, Mitchell was expected to serve his ban in round one of the 2025 season. Addo-Carr is also suspended for round one of the new season having just joined the Parramatta Eels. Addo-Carr parted ways with the Bulldogs and will miss the first round of the 2025 season as he serves the remainder of a four-game ban that ultimately cost him his job at Canterbury. Although both Mitchell and Addo-Carr could look to use the All Stars match to count towards their suspensions. The NRL was toying with moving the All-Stars contest to the end of the season next year, but opted to leave it as a pre-season game having spoken to the players. This means Mitchell and Addo-Carr can now apply to use this game as part of their bans. Although SEN Radio host Jimmy Smith has urged the NRL to deny the loophole so Mitchell and Addo-Carr can still play the All-Stars game, but serve their ban for their clubs. "Fantastic let's put it up front, but that means Latrell Mitchell and Josh Addo-Carr can miss the game and serve part of their suspensions for that," he said on Thursday. "It doesn't feel quite right. Why wouldn't you let them play the Indigenous game and let them serve their suspension for the club. Of course the clubs don't want that, but you are talking about the two biggest Indigenous stars in the league. "And you are trying to take them away from the All Stars clash. My feeling would be to put them in. I would say 'Ok, you can miss the All Stars clash, but it can't serve as a match'. And then watch them play." Mitchell would be a certainty to feature for the Indigenous All-Stars having played in the competition in all six editions. when the Indigenous All-Stars defeated the New Zealand Maori. Mitchell has made waves in the NRL off-season having been praised for making changes to his preparation. Mitchell has reportedly installed a home gym to better prepare himself for the pre-season under new coach Wayne Bennett and Broncos great Corey Parker commented on in his time off. Mitchell was seen at training this week being put through the drills. Many are expecting to see Mitchell hit the ground running in 2025 after his latest campaign. And Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly told SEN 1170 claimed the players are already showing they are ready to put another disappointing campaign behind them with new coach Bennett at the helm. "Yeah it's been an interesting eight weeks since that period when Wayne came down and spoke to the players," Solly said. We just had so many injuries in the 2024 season. "A lot of the senior guys have been in here two or three days a week rehabbing and getting physio on their injuries so it almost feels like guys like Latrell, Cody (Walker), Jack (Wighton) and Campbell (Graham) have never been away because they've just had to keep getting rehab on those injuries from earlier in the season. So I think in some ways that's set them up for a really good pre-season and again Wayne's reputation goes before him."
After their most productive day in a non-overtime game this season, the Denver Nuggets are out to earn consecutive victories for the first time in a month when they play host to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Following a run of seven losses in 11 games -- including one of their two setbacks against the Clippers this season -- the Nuggets turned their offense loose in a 141-111 road victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday as Nikola Jokic scored 48 points with 14 rebounds and eight assists. With three MVP awards in the past four seasons, Jokic is pointed toward another as he leads the NBA in rebounds at 13.6 per game and is second in points (32.3) and assists (10.2). He has 104 points over the past two games but his 56-point outing Saturday ended up in a defeat to the lowly Washington Wizards. Jokic's push for offense coincides with a hamstring injury to Jamal Murray, who missed the past two games and is expected to be listed as questionable for Friday's game. Dario Saric is expected back after he was inactive the past two games with an ankle injury. In his first season with the Nuggets, former Clippers guard Russell Westbrook has averaged 6.4 assists per game. With Murray down, he has averaged 11.5 assists the past two games. "When Russ is out there with Nikola, he's just always looking for him," Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said. "He's always trying to find him. And that makes complete sense to me. You're playing with the best player in the world. You might want to give him the ball." The Clippers' Norman Powell has averaged 32.5 points in the two victories over the Nuggets and leads Los Angeles with 23.6 points per game this season. While Powell has returned from a recent hamstring injury, James Harden (groin) was absent from Sunday's 117-106 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, as was Terance Mann (finger). Kawhi Leonard (knee) has not played this season but has finally returned to practice as he nears his season debut. The hope for Los Angeles head coach Tyronn Lue was to hold things together as best as possible until Leonard returned, and a 14-11 record through the first two months appears to have to accomplished that goal. Leonard won't travel with the team for Friday's game, but his return to practice has made an impact. "It raised our energy just for our guys to see him on the floor," Lue said. "It brought a juice to our team, so we needed that jolt, especially going through the schedule we've been through. It was really good to see him out there." Instead of playing it passive until Leonard returns, the Clippers have ramped up their defense, which has allowed 107.4 points per game. It is the fifth-best mark in the NBA. The 35-year-old Harden has raised his game for the Clippers by averaging 21.6 points, his most since the 2021-22 season. He has also averaged 8.5 assists with 6.8 rebounds while playing in 24 of 25 games. This article first appeared on Field Level Media and was syndicated with permission.
