WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau returned home Saturday after his meeting with Donald Trump without assurances the president-elect will back away from threatened tariffs on all products from the major American trading partner. Trump called the talks “productive” but signaled no retreat from a pledge that Canada says unfairly lumps it in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States. After the leaders’ hastily arranged dinner Friday night at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trudeau spoke of “an excellent conversation” but offered no details. Trump said in a Truth Social post later Saturday that they discussed “many important topics that will require both Countries to work together to address.” For issues in need of such cooperation, Trump cited fentanyl and the “Drug Crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of Illegal Immigration," fair trade deals "that do not jeopardize American Workers” and the U.S. trade deficit with its ally to the north. Trump asserted that the prime minister had made “a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation” of American families from fentanyl from China reaching the United States through its neighbors. The U.S., he said, “will no longer sit idly by as our Citizens become victims to the scourge of this Drug Epidemic.” The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border. On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian border between October 2023 and September 2024 — and Canadian officials say they are ready to make new investments in border security. Trudeau called Trump after the Republican's social media posts about the tariffs last Monday and they agreed to meet, according to a official familiar with the matter who was not authorized to publicly discuss detail of the private talks. The official said other countries are calling Canadian officials to hear how about how the meeting was arranged and to ask for advice. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, after speaking with Trump on the telephone, said Thursday she was confident a tariff war with Washington would be averted. At the dinner that was said to last three hours, Trump said he and Trudeau also discussed energy, trade and the Arctic. A second official cited defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast, pipelines and the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year as other issues that arose. Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest,” but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. "Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Trudeau had said before leaving from Friday that Trump was elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now was talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products, including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. The threatened tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. When Trump imposed higher tariffs as president, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. Canada is one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world, and 77% of Canada’s exports go to the U.S. ___ Gillies reported from Toronto.City schools introduce flexi-attendance for students unable to attend physical classesJimmy Carter, a man of implacable faith, lived his values
Paris to modify cable agreementsGiants release quarterback Daniel Jones just days after benching him EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Daniel Jones era in New York is over. The Giants quarterback was granted his release by the team just days after the franchise said it was benching him in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito. New York president John Mara said Jones approached the team about releasing him and the club obliged. Mara added he was “disappointed” at the quick dissolution of a once-promising relationship between Jones and the team. Giants coach Brian Daboll benched Jones in favor of DeVito following a loss to the Panthers in Germany that dropped New York's record to 2-8. Conor McGregor must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her, civil jury rules LONDON (AP) — A civil jury in Ireland has awarded more than $250,000 to a woman who says she was raped by mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor in a Dublin hotel penthouse after a night of heavy partying. The jury on Friday awarded Nikita Hand in her lawsuit that claimed McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her in 2018. The lawsuit says the assault left her heavily bruised and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. McGregor testified that he never forced her to do anything and that Hand fabricated her allegations after the two had consensual sex. McGregor says he will appeal the verdict.

The regional force comprising troops from Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, and South Sudan, managed to peacefully secure swathes of territory previously captured by the M23 rebels after their gradual withdrawal. In early 2023, the regional mission’s effort led to a ceasefire from March to September 2023. However, Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi, who did not show up at the regional summit on Saturday, wanted it to battle the M23 rebels, or if not, leave. Troubling precedent set The first EACRF force commander was forced to resign citing a threat to his personal security and “a systematic plan to frustrate” the regional force. In December 2023, the Congolese government eventually expelled EACRF and replaced it with a SADC mission which is operating under an offensive mandate.

Mercury Local Roundup (Dec. 19): Harken’s school-record 51 points delivers Perk Valley much-needed win over Norristown
Strengthening Pak naval capabilities need of hourThe Alex Fraser Research Forest (AFRF) and partners are stirring things up for Cariboo woodworkers who on Dec. 12 were invited to visit the research forest’s main office in Williams Lake. It’s all part of a new initiative known as the Cariboo Wood Innovation Training Hub (CWITH), an opportunity for the Cariboo to strengthen its wood industry by coming together and sharing ideas. “We’re hoping to start offering courses in January, but I think that will just be the first step,” said Stephanie Ewen, manager of the AFRF, the University of British Columbia’s research forest. What the innovation hub will come to be is not entirely clear, but there are ideas, and the team of bright minds supporting the project, which includes the Cariboo Regional District, are encouraging others to contribute their own ideas. Hence the Dec. 12 event, an open house where folks learned about the project, asked questions and added their own thoughts and knowledge to a brainstorm for the initiative. “We know that there’s opportunity, but it needs traction,” said Brock Smith, owner of Smith Timber Works which specializes in the design and fabrication of architectural timber. Smith and co-worker Martin Doerig were just some of the industry folks who stopped in at the event, where idea boards were set up for visitors to share their thoughts on what CWITH could be. One read: “dream board for courses,” another asked how people would define “value-added,” and yet another asked: “what is the most significant opportunity for value-added wood product development or innovation in the Cariboo?” A map was also set up on the wall and visitors were encouraged to identify their own value-added activities, creating a trail of innovative wood projects across the Cariboo. Getting creative with value-added wood products With its abundant access to trees, the wood industry plays an essential role in the Cariboo economy. There’s a whole realm of possibility when it comes to adding value to wood, with a more typical example being to create furniture. Every step along the way from tree to plank to chair, for instance, adds value to the wood, and with that comes opportunity for economic development. “As the city person, I’m always looking to diversify the economy,” Beth Veenkamp, manager of economic development with the city of Williams Lake, told the Tribune. Veenkamp has been involved in the project since its beginnings in 2018, when the idea to create a centre for the Cariboo wood industry first began to brew. Veenkamp ran a survey on economic development in the Cariboo from which the idea around a training hub for value-added manufacturing emerged. Examples of value-added products provided at the open house got creative, with Ewen explaining to the Tribune wood chips can be pressed or individual wood planks combined to create a beam. A simple idea, but an effective alternative as massive trees typically used for beams are becoming few and far between. Ewen also explained how unused portions of trees, such as their narrow tops, can be used to generate power. This is especially relevant to remote forestry communities where shipping in diesel can be a huge expense, making the available wood a viable alternative to producing power. “That’s to me one of the low hanging fruit for adopting this technology,” Ewen said while giving a tour of the AFRF’s very own 40-kilowatt power plant which relies on gas made from wood chips. The power plant takes about four-and-a-half cubic metres to run at full capacity, or two-and-a-half cubic metres to run at 30 per cent capacity. While the technicalities of using this sort of power plant are not fully ironed out, the hope is that by operating this power plant the AFRF can learn how it really works and help others adopt the technology. The road to a thriving Cariboo wood industry In today’s climate, value-added wood is an even greater attraction as sustainable practices become ever more pertinent, and finding ways to reduce waste and maximize profits is essential. So too is the need to support and uplift those working with wood or looking to enter the industry. But brilliant ideas can’t all come from one person, and it’s all the more difficult when the nature of the industry means those involved are scattered far and wide. CWITH will be a way to connect the industry, thereby enabling the exchange of ideas while also creating a hub where folks can go to learn and develop their skills. When the AFRF purchased its Williams Lake property in 2020, the team working to build CWITH thought it would be an ideal location where the project could operate. The city of Williams Lake ended up including the initiative in its economic development strategy, but its 2022 application to the Northern Development Initiative Trust for funding was denied. However, the project continued to develop, and in 2023 the Fraser Basin Council (FBC) came on to support the initiative and, as a nonprofit, was able to secure $500,000 in funding through the province’s Rural Economic Diversification and Infrastructure Program. Stephanie Huska was then hired in August as an independent contractor to help identify industry needs and design the hub along those lines. Since she was hired, Huska has gone around to speak with different manufacturers across the Cariboo to see what people are up to and to find out how CWITH could best serve them. “It’s incredible the stuff that’s happening right now,” she said. However, Huska said manufacturers aren’t engaging with each other, despite often relying on one another. She also said there’s little public awareness around what is really happening in the Cariboo when it comes to value-added wood projects. In fact, she said she can already identify more value-added projects taking place in the Cariboo than what she could find in provincial directories. “There’s a great opportunity there to share what people are doing” Huska said, hoping that CWITH can help build systems through which industry partners can work together and build a thriving industry. She envisions running talks and tours and enabling wood workers to collaborate, rather than focus completely on competition. The main goal, Huska said, is to provide education for those who want to upgrade their skills, change their focus or looking to enter the industry. CWITH will offer courses by pulling from different resources which already exist, whether it’s setting something up with local innovators, or bringing in courses from Thompson Rivers Univeristy (TRU) and from the Centre for Advanced Wood Processing. “The thing that is a little bit tricky is finding people that want to teach,” Huska said, adding teaching locations may also be a challenge as not all courses would necessarily take place at the AFRF. But it’s all part of the process, and the CWITH team is hopeful that by holding open houses, connecting industry partners and starting to offer courses in the new year, things will really start to kick off. The CWITH team is preparing to distribute a survey in the new year, informed by what they’ve learned during the open house, to gather more feedback from the community. Courses will also be starting up in the new year.How co-writing a book threatened the Carters’ marriage
