Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is expected to travel to Canada this week to meet with Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government, as Canada prepares for what could be a tumultuous overhaul of its relationship with the US.

Trudeau and his cabinet are in Calgary for a two-day retreat, much of which will focus on how Trump’s presidency will affect longstanding Canada-US cooperation on issues that range from trade to border security and intelligence.

Speakers at the retreat will include Kushner, according to a report from Reuters, hinting at the ties that are developing between Trudeau’s government and those in Trump’s inner circle.

Canada will likely be one of the first countries in the world to experience how Trump’s blistering rhetoric on the campaign trail will match the actions of his presidency. Throughout the campaign Trump routinely disparaged Nafta, describing it as the “worst deal in history”.

1. Didn't Trudeau have some in-law available?

Honestly, this is insane.

[smirkymonkey]

2. Why is Trudeau even granting this half-wit an audience?

WTF!

[CincyDem]

...when Udey comes a calling, you answer.

4. Sounds like a generational schmooze initiative

Canada needs our trade more than we need theirs, but I doubt
Trudeau will be bamboozled

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Needs more? 39 states have Canada as their largest trading partner. . . . . nt

[bucolic_frolic]

19. That's an amazing statistic

Food and lumber

[Bernardo de La Paz]

20. 9 million US jobs depend on trade with Canada, which has increased more than trend since NAFTA. . nt

5. What exactly is this persons title in this scam team ? Senior Advisor of the scam

And how much of this is going to be paid by the taxpayers?

Why doesn't he use the trump plane, so that all of the media can get shots of it landing and taking off.

Just like when the "media" today did a "close-up" of him signing the executive order for the TPP, (and the Reagan era signing of a federal hiring freeze------------here comes contract workers without any benefits) that was never passed on a final vote, to provide cover for the fascists republicans, but they passed a bill taking out the 1933 words "MADE IN AMERICA" , by none other than Eddie Munster.

They the "media" could do a close-up of this fascist signing documents today but they didn't do to much on his history------------amazing.

Its hard enough having and seeing him in the oval office, whats going to be really sickening is him gallivanting up the stairs onto Air Force One.

I just wonder what the new call sign will be beside Air Force One, I got a name.................and its not pretty

6. *raised eyebrow* Doesnt that exceed the job description of "adviser"?

[Judi Lynn]

15. My question, too! Trump imagines he's welcome to make up his own rules.

Republicans seem to agree.

7. if I were Trudeau

I would tell the orange hitler, the leader of Canada's diaper, to take a flying fuck at the moon. They can just sit back and watch ameriKa crash and burn. Would like to see other countries do the same.

[DK504]

11. I do wish the Prime Minister would release a message to Americans

we can come and hide up there while he is prez petulant.

[Freethinker65]

8. Trudeau should send his "cousin" Gary Trudeau

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Clever!

[bluedigger]

9. I hope we don't break up.

I think we're meant for each other.

[BeyondGeography]

10. What an insult

[dalton99a]

12. Uday or Qusay not available?

[DK504]

13. Is Comey the one that okayed

the job for Jared to work in the White House.

Isn't this still the definition of cronyism?

[roamer65]

14. Trudeau should invite a Chinese dignitary and give him first billing to talk.

[avebury]

16. ..
