After U.S. president-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian imports on his first day back in the White House unless his border concerns are addressed, there is mixed reaction on whether Canada should retaliate. In a post to Truth Social on Monday night, Trump said the tariff “will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” The U.S. is Canada’s largest trading partner, and the potential tariff is sparking new concerns over the economic impact it could have on jobs, inflation and supply chains. Speaking to reporters in Ottawa on Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland was asked directly about potential retaliation if Trump makes good on his threat but would not answer directly. Instead, she pointed to the federal government’s previous experience with tariffs under Trump’s first term. “We reached an agreement with the Trump administration to have those tariffs lifted, to have the Canadian tariffs on the U.S. lifted, to have the U.S. tariffs on Canada lifted,” Freeland said. “And the reason we were able to do that is we were smart, we were united, we were strong.” During his first term as U.S. president in 2018, Trump triggered a nearly year-long trade war with Canada after imposing a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian steel products and 10 per cent on Canadian aluminum. In response, Canada unveiled a 25 per cent counter tariff on a long list of American steel and aluminum products, along with a 10 per cent surtax on miscellaneous U.S. goods including coffee, prepared meals and maple syrup. Those retaliatory tariffs were eventually lifted in 2019 after Canada, the U.S. and Mexico reached a deal. Then, in August 2020, Trump once again announced plans to impose a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian aluminum. In a statement at the time, Freeland said “Canada intends to swiftly impose dollar-for-dollar countermeasures,” but one month later, Trump hit pause on those tariffs amid the looming presidential election later that year. Trump went on to lose that election to Joe Biden. Freeland, who chairs the revived Cabinet Committee on Canada-U.S. relations, also said the “government will always defend the national interest” and stressed that “this is a moment when Canada needs to be united.” Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne, when asked about potential retaliation, said “let’s take things step by step.” Going a step further in an interview with CTV’s Power Play with Vassy Kapelos, Public Safety Minister Dominic Leblanc said any counter-tariffs from Canada would not come until the U.S. tariffs “are in place.” “We think we're some way away from having those tariffs implemented as ultimately they are by the United States, and we're prepared to talk to the administration,” Leblanc told Kapelos. Premiers, Poilievre weigh in Reaction to how Canada should respond is mixed amongst former and current political leaders from other parties and levels. On Tuesday, when asked if he would be willing to retaliate, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said, “if necessary." Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who called Trump’s tariff threat “insulting,” said if it comes to it, “there is no choice," but to respond with counter-measures. “Hopefully we won’t come to that," Ford said. “We have to retaliate, not against the Americans, (but) the administration that has made a wrong call on this.” Others say they would wait on threatening tariffs. In an interview with “The Vassy Kapelos Show” on Tuesday, former Canadian ambassador to the U.S. David MacNaughton said he would “not spend any time” threatening retaliation right now. “We cannot win a trade war with the United States of America, so we shouldn't start threatening that because that is not going to end well,” MacNaughton said. Instead, MacNaughton believes Canada should be focused on addressing the border issues Trump is raising. “I'd be focused in on the things that we know that they've been concerned about and are mentioned in (Trump’s) social media post and I think things will work out fine for us if we demonstrate real good will and actual outcomes,” MacNaughton said. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew expressed a similar sentiment, saying “we have to show the Americans that we’re serious about border security and we’re serious about tackling the drug crisis.” “I think responding to that concern today will also help us on the trade side,” Kinew told reporters on Tuesday. In a post on “X,” former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole called Trump’s threat an “attempt to set the negotiation table before he gets sworn in.” Like MacNaughton and Kinew, O’Toole said Canada needs to work on shared priorities with the U.S., which include increasing defence spending to reach NATO’s two per cent of GDP target and alignment on the border. “Canada needs to pick key priorities to build common cause with the U.S. & do things that are in our national interest anyway. This is what negotiation is. It is what we should have done last time,” O’Toole wrote. Trump is also threatening the same 25 per cent tariff on all Mexican imports. On Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum warned of the dire economic consequences the tariffs could have and hinted at retaliation . "To one tariff will follow another in response and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk," Sheinbaum said in a letter to Trump, which she read at a press conference.

Netanyahu blames Labor over synagogue fireTexas A&M-Corpus Christi defeats Stephen F. Austin 67-48STATE COLLEGE — Despite falling to No. 1 Oregon in the Big Ten Championship, Penn State will play in its first appearance in the College Football Playoff. Announced Sunday afternoon, the Nittany Lions drew the No. 6 seed in the CFP, and will host 11-seed SMU on Saturday, Dec. 21 at noon in Beaver Stadium. Penn State lost 45-38 to Oregon in Saturday’s Big Ten Championship, arguably playing its best offensive game of the season. That said, it was also unquestionably the worst defensive game for the Nittany Lions all season. Let’s get into it... Watching these two teams play, the thing that jumped off the screen was Oregon’s speed, offensively and defensively. The Ducks rushed for 183 yards Saturday, led by junior running back Jordan James. James had 20 carries for 87 yards with two touchdowns. Then, when James wasn’t in the game, the Ducks went to junior Noah Whittington, who rushed for 82 yards on 15 carries. Not only did the running game hurt Penn State, the Oregon passing game dropped the hammer as well. The Penn State defense has been susceptible to quick-triggered quarterbacks and intermediate passes all season, and that was the case Saturday. Dillon Gabriel was 22-of-32 for 283 yards and four touchdowns, and his biggest beneficiary was a player highlighted in my preview of the game, wide receiver Tez Johnson. Johnson caught a game-high 11 passes on 12 targets, rolling up 181 yards and a touchdown against Penn State. Johnson’s 16.5 yards per catch is an eye-popping number, because whenever Gabriel needed a big play downfield, Johnson was there to make the Nittany Lions pay. His 48-yard touchdown catch made it a 38-24 game with 7:36 left in the third quarter. Five other Ducks caught passes in the game as sophomore tight end Kenyon Sadiq had a couple grabs for 30 yards, and scored on both. Tight end Terrance Ferguson also hurt the Nittany Lions with three catches for 30 yards, including a touchdown that put Oregon ahead 21-10 in the first half. Speed kills, and the Nittany Lions had real issues with it from a positioning and tackling standpoint. Maybe it was the sleek black Oregon uniforms, but Penn State struggled to bring down the slippery Ducks most of the night. Penn State finished with only one sack and six tackles for loss. Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Abdul Carter finished with six total tackles but did not record a sack or a tackle for loss in the game. It was only Carter’s fourth game this season without a tackle for loss. “To be quite frank, they sped up our defense,” veteran defensive tackle Dvon J-Thomas said after the game. “That’s a credit to their offensive coordinator. They did an incredible job of speeding us up. We also just made a lot of mistakes. That’s a credit to them. When you have such a talented team and you’re playing at an elite level, the margin of error is very, very small. Coach Franklin alluded to that after the game, the margin of error is so small, so slim in these games that it makes all the difference. “I feel like defensively that we made more mistakes in that game than we’ve made in almost any other game. And you know it’s up to a great team to capitalize. I feel like Oregon did that today.” Though the Nittany Lions are an exceptional second-half defensive team, even that couldn’t save them as Oregon did something no other team could do this season — score a touchdown on Penn State in the third quarter. Oregon also did a good job of mixing tempo against Penn State. The Ducks had three scoring drives of 10 plays or more, but the time those drives took was significant. Oregon’s final touchdown drive was most gutting as it went 12 plays for 75 yards spanning 6 minutes and 49 seconds. The Ducks also had a 10-play, 61-yard scoring drive that lasted only 1 minute and 46 seconds. Being able to sustain drives, but also being able to chew up time and be speedy played a big role in Oregon’s offensive success. “They do a really good job of making it a space game,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “They’ve got three wide receivers that are challenging — (Johnson) is really challenging in space. They’ve got a really good running back, and they’ve got a quarterback that is poised and confident, distributes the ball. “Then. they do a really good job of changing up tempo — going fast at times, then slowing down. Then look-look, see what we’re in defensively, look to the sideline, check the call, and then we’re trying to check the call. It was a chess game the entire time. Again, give them credit. But some of the things they were doing to cause stress and their athleticism also created some of the mistakes and challenges that we made.” Offense answers the bell Offensively, though it wasn’t perfect, the Nittany Lions did more than enough to win this game. They put up 518 total yards, rushing for 292 yards and ripping off 8.3 yards per carry. They also had more first downs than Oregon, 28-24. Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton were spectacular against Oregon. Allen rushed for 124 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown, while Singleton rushed for 105 on 10 carries and caught a touchdown pass. “Oregon entered the game 22nd in the country in rush defense, giving up 112 games per game, and we rushed for 292 yards today on them,” Franklin said. Kaytron averaged 8.9 yards per carry and Nick Singleton averaged 10.5. Both went over 100 yards. It’s a credit to the O-line and tight ends and obviously those two young men. I also think it was the balance and our ability to both run and pass throughout the game.” Quarterback Drew Allar wasn’t particularly sharp, but he made some impressive throws to extend drives. He wasn’t great, but wasn’t that bad either — throwing for 226 yards and three touchdowns. However, his 51.3% completion percentage (20-for-39) was his worst all season, and his two interceptions were costly. His first one was a poor throw behind Trey Wallace that Dontae Manning picked and nearly took to the house. The turnover led directly to points as James walked in from a yard out to give Oregon a 28-10 lead. The second pick was a questionable call, considering it was on second-and-1 from Penn State’s 46. With Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen combining for 229 yards rushing, running the ball there with two timeouts made more sense than to take a deep shot to Wallace, who isn’t exactly known for contested catches. Though Oregon’s Nikko Reed got away with a tug of Wallace’s jersey, Allar’s ball wasn’t quite in position for Wallace to catch it exclusively along the sideline, and Reed made a great play on the ball. The turnover allowed Oregon to run out the clock for an eight-point victory. “I saw [Reed] hold and not get any depth, and tried to give Trey a chance,” Allar said. “I’ve got to do a better job of him or nobody. I’ve just got to see the leverage with the DB and give him more of a back shoulder, around the body where it’s going to be him or nobody and move on in the progression. But that’s what I saw on that play.” Not only were Singleton and Allen excellent on Saturday, so was Tyler Warren, who had a team-leading seven catches for 84 yards. Oregon did a commendable job to keep Warren out of the end zone, and Warren failed to come up with a few of the catches he’s made routinely most of the season, as he got 12 targets on the night. “I mean, on third down specifically they tried to bracket him a little bit,” Allar said of Oregon’s coverage of Warren. “Honestly, it kind of opened up our backside progressions. There were a couple early in the game where I hit Trey on a third-and-15 in man coverage where the strong safety just bracketed Tyler. So they tried to take him away as much as they could, but he still had a phenomenal game in the pass game and the run game.” The catch that wasn’t In perhaps the most head-scratching sequence of the night, Allar threw to Omari Evans near the left sideline and though Evans caught the ball by every presentable angle, the pass was ruled incomplete. The play would’ve allowed Penn State to move farther down the field on a critical drive as they were looking to score and convert a potential game-tying two-point conversion. “There were a couple calls that we didn’t get that I thought we should have,” Franklin said. “One of the calls that I thought was a critical point in the game was the two-minute drive with a catch on the sideline to Omari, I thought was a catch. And looking on the Jumbotron, it looked like it was a catch. “It is what it is, but the catch on the sideline, to me, that’s a critical moment in the game and it was close enough that it should have been buzzed down and at least reviewed.” The path of...most favorable?...resistance Had Penn State defeated Oregon, it would have clinched the No. 1 seed in the CFP. With the loss to Oregon, the sixth-seeded Nittany Lions draw SMU, who rightfully made it over Alabama due to its 33-30 loss in the ACC Championship to Clemson. Penn State still gets to host its first-ever home playoff game in the CFP era, and the current path is favorable despite not clinching the 1-seed and a first-round bye. Top-seed Oregon and fourth-seed Arizona State each earned first-round byes, as did No. 2-seed Georgia and third-seed Boise State. If Penn State gets past SMU, it will face Boise State in the second round of the CFP. The best case scenario would see Penn State beat Boise State and face the winner of Georgia and the winner of the first-round matchup between Notre Dame and Indiana in the CFP semifinals.

Older siblings everywhere could appreciate John Harbaugh's refusal to concede an inch against his younger brother Jim. Even when his Baltimore Ravens faced fourth down in the second quarter, John wasn't giving up the ball without a fight. The Ravens converted that fourth down and two others on their way to over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night, giving their coach a third victory in three matchups against his brother. It was the first time they'd faced off since Baltimore beat San Francisco — then coached by Jim Harbaugh — in the Super Bowl at the end of the 2012 season. “We grew up in the same room and have always lived our life side by side, but that’s not what the game is about,” John Harbaugh said. “The game really is about the players, and the players are always going to win the game or lose the game or whatever.” On this night, it was Baltimore's players who shined. Specifically Derrick Henry, who rushed for 140 yards. Lamar Jackson threw a couple of touchdown passes, and the defense was solid, allowing touchdowns on the first and last Los Angeles drives but not much in between. “I’m proud of our guys,” John Harbaugh said. “I’m proud of the way they came out and responded after the first 10 points — we were down 10-0, and our guys stepped up.” After converting fourth-and-1 at their 16 late in the second quarter, the Ravens scored on a 40-yard pass from Jackson to Rashod Bateman, taking the lead for good at 14-10. Baltimore's other two fourth-and-1 conversions came on a 14-play touchdown drive that spanned the end of the third quarter and start of the fourth. “We’re just confident that we’ll end up converting on those fourth downs, and we did a great job blocking,” said Henry, who converted the last two of the fourth downs. "All we had to do was make a play, and we did.” The Ravens got back to their identity a bit, rushing for 212 yards. And it wasn't just Henry and Jackson contributing. Justice Hill broke free for a 51-yard touchdown that made it 30-16 in the fourth. “Nobody wants to stand in front of (Derrick Henry) every single play, every single run,” Hill said. "You can do it one time, two times, three times, but when you have to do it 20 to 25 times, it starts to wear down. I’m glad we stuck with the run game this game, and it played out for us.” There were still too many penalties, with the Ravens flagged nine times for 102 yards. Baltimore played a pretty clean game until the fourth quarter, so several of those flags came after the Ravens had the game reasonably under control, but this is still an area of concern. With star linebacker Roquan Smith out because of a hamstring injury, Malik Harrison led the Ravens with a dozen tackles. “It’s a lot of people that doubted me coming into this game, so I’m happy I was able to ball out and show them that I can be in this league, and I can play at a high level,” Harrison said. There was a time when Isaiah Likely seemed as if he might be supplanting Mark Andrews as Baltimore's top tight end threat, but Likely went without a catch Monday. He did, however, recover the onside kick that effectively ended the game. Although Smith was out, DT Travis Jones (ankle) and C Tyler Linderbaum (back) were able to start. Jackson has now thrown 22 touchdown passes with no interceptions on Monday nights, with a passer rating of 124.3. The Ravens have one more game before their open date, and it's a showdown this weekend against a Philadelphia team that has won seven in a row. Saquon Barkley (1,392) of the Eagles and Henry (1,325) have both surpassed 1,300 yards rushing already. Nobody else in the NFL has more than 1,000. AP NFL:
