Inside the Trump - Trudeau dinner (Toronto Star):

Still, the meeting between Trump, Trudeau and several of the future president’s advisers and their wives lasted more than three hours, and was described by a senior Canadian official as a positive, wide-ranging discussion.

Trudeau, accompanied by Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, and chief of staff Katie Telford, travelled to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach on a weekend in which many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving.

At the dinner table were key Trump officials and others, including North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, nominated for Interior Secretary who will lead Trump’s effort to open federal lands to more oil and gas drilling, and Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick, a staunch enthusiast of tariffs, and Trump’s nominee for national security adviser Mike Waltz. Other guests included Pennsylvania senator-elect Dave McCormick and his wife, Dina Powell, a former Trump deputy national security adviser.

.........

They discussed trade, border security, fentanyl, defence matters including NATO, Ukraine, and icebreakers (Canada, the U.S. and Finland recently agreed to a trilateral pact to rebuild their icebreaking fleets). The leaders and their teams also discussed China, energy issues and pipelines, including those that feed Canadian oil and gas into the U.S. like Keystone XL, Line 5, as well as the Trans-Mountain project and Canada’s liquid natural gas export capacity, the official said, speaking on a background-only basis to disclose some details of the private meeting.

He switched to that about halfway through his campaign.

So so ugly.

Other world leaders must crawl on their knees currying favor and begging to be spared from
revenge and retribution for sins they did not even commit.

Justin Trudeau had to fly to Mar-a-Lago to visit Trump because convicted felons can’t leave the country.

That’s who you elected, America.
