Donald Trump Announced That He'll Meet with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

U.S. President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he will be meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto as he moves quickly on his campaign pledge to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. Yet faced with negotiations that could rewrite the rules with its biggest trading partner, Trudeau’s office was staying silent Sunday, declining to comment on Trump’s first official statements on NAFTA since taking office.

But, Canada’s relations with the new administration are expected to top the agenda when Trudeau meets with his cabinet ministers during a retreat in Calgary Monday and Tuesday. Trump – who made clear his “American first” agenda during his inauguration speech — used brief remarks Sunday during a White House ceremony to reaffirm his intent to reopen the trade pact between Canada, the United States and Mexico. That will start with upcoming meetings with Trudeau and Pena Nieto, he said.

“We’re going to start some negotiations having to do with NAFTA. . . . I ran a campaign somewhat based on NAFTA,” Trump told an audience of administration staff. “We’re going to start re-negotiating on NAFTA, on immigration and on security at the border,” Trump said. No  date was announced for the meeting with Trudeau. The prime minister’s office said Sunday it did not have any additional details beyond a telephone call between the two leaders Saturday when they said they “looked forward to meeting soon. Canada’s relations with the new administration in Washington are expected to top the agenda when Trudeau meets with his cabinet ministers during a two-day retreat in Calgary Monday and Tuesday, which will include discussions with an adviser to Trump.

Discussions will also include Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO of the Blackstone Group investment firm appointed in December to lead the President’s Strategic and Policy Forum, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Sunday. Dominic Barton, the head of the Trudeau government’s Council of Economic Advisers, is also set to attend. During their call, both Trump and Trudeau underscored the importance of the Canada-U.S. relationship, according to a statement from the prime minister’s office. “The prime minister noted the depth of the Canada-U.S. economic relationship, with 35 states having Canada as their top export destination,” the statement sad. White House spokesperson Sean Spicer said the two leaders had a “constructive” conversation about “strengthening the relationship between our two nations.” “They also discussed setting up additional meetings in the days to come, which we will follow up on,” Spicer said Saturday. Trump’s brief comments on Sunday were largely focussed on Mexico. “I think we’re going to have a very good result for Mexico, for the United States, for everybody involved. It’s very important,” Trump said.

Still, Trudeau’s government is gearing up to deal with a new administration in Washington as it braces to see how Trump’s tough talk on trade now become policy that could impact the cross-border economy. In the days following Trump’s election last November, Canadian officials sought to appear open to the incoming president initiatives. That included voicing a willingness to discuss NAFTA. “I think any agreement can be improved on,” Canada’s ambassador to the United States, David MacNaughton said. In his inauguration address Friday, Trump made clear his intent to move on what had been a core plank in his campaign. “We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength,” Trump said.

As Trump was sworn in, the White House website was quickly changed to reflect the priorities of the incoming administration. That includes Trump’s commitment to renegotiate, even withdraw from NAFTA. “If our partners refuse a renegotiation that gives American workers a fair deal, then the President will give notice of the United States’ intent to withdraw from NAFTA,” the website states. John Baird, a former Canadian foreign minister now a senior adviser with Bennett Jones LLP, warned the new trade reality will almost certainly hurt the country. “There’s no realistic way we’re going to renegotiate a NAFTA deal that’s better for Canada.” The push for change is driven by rising protectionist sentiment across the U.S., not just in the White House, Baird said. “People have to understand this isn’t just the American president. The American public has moved substantially to this stance.”

The Top 5 Unexplained Mysteries of The World

Ever since the beginning of time, stories of mystery and uncertainty have always grabbed our attention. Whether it’s a story about Bigfoot, or The Bermuda Triangle, here are the Top 5 Unexplained Mysteries of The World.

1.UFOs and Extraterrestrials

There have been many sightings of UFOs over the years, but a lot of them could be planes, helicopters, or dust in the lenses of a camera. But, do we really know that for sure? Some UFO sightings are described as things that we’ve never seen before, which could only leave a few options. Maybe, we aren't the only ones in this universe... but, there are no solid facts that extra terrestrials don't exist and at the same time, there aren't any facts that extraterrestrials do exist.

2. Bigfoot

There have been many sightings of “monsters” by many different people, but no one really knows if they truly exist. One of the most famous ones is BigFoot or the Sasquatch, and this has started a lot of discussions, because, for all we know, there is a possibility that these things may exist. This creature is said to live in the Himalayas and is said to be around 9 feet tall, 500 pounds and has footprints that are 24 inches long. Many people deny this after fake videos of sightings of bigfoot have been made, and it's most likely photoshop. But, as I said before, is it possible that this creature really exists? Who knows, maybe it is wandering around the woods or mountains waiting for someone to discover it?

3. The pyramid of Giza

The Pyramid of Giza is located in Egypt and is one of the world's biggest tourist attractions. The Pyramid is huge, and is made of massive stone blocks. These blocks are so big and heavy, and The Pyramid is so large and tall that it is almost impossible that humans actually built it, but experts in the field claim that it took around 400,000 men and 20 years to build. The Pyramid of Giza is especially famous because it is the largest Pyramid in the world, and there are theories that because of its shape it can tap into supernatural powers. Because of these supernatural powers, that can be real or not, the Pyramid of Giza is on our top 5 list.

4. The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most sailed shipping lanes in the world and is responsible for many different disappearances of boats, aircrafts and other vehicles. Over the years, there have been cases where the reason for disappearance just can't be explained, but these are not very often. The first unexplained event was in 1950 when navy bombers were on a training mission in the triangle, when apparently things started getting abnormal and it was claimed that the waters turned green and that the planes flew off to Mars. It actually turns out, there isn't anything haunted or paranormal about the Triangle and that there are no more disappearances than other routes that are traveled as much as it.

5. The Oceans

The Ocean is something that humans are constantly exploring and constantly discovering. But, we are definitely not done any time soon, because we have only explored a bit less than five percent of the ocean,  and considering 70% of Earth's surface is water, there's a ton left. We haven't explored the ocean because our submarines can't go that deep for that long so they are starting to use drones as an alternative. With the drones we are speeding up our exploration a lot, and discovering many more types of plants, coral and species. There is still over sixty-five percent of the ocean we have not explored,  and who knows what we'll find next.

Four Left! Who Do You See In The Super Bowl?

With the recent win of the Green Bay Packers against the Dallas Cowboys, only four professional football teams remain on the road to the super bowl. The remaining four are the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, and the Atlanta Falcons. The Patriots will be playing the Steelers, and the Packers will be playing the Falcons. The Patriots will be playing the Steelers on January 22nd on Sunday, and the Packers will be playing the Falcons on the same day, but the Packers and Falcons will be playing first at 3:05 PM, and the Steelers and Patriots will be playing at 6:40 PM.

Both the Packers and the Falcons have a strong team. They both have défenses and great offenses. The Falcons have a great running game with Devonta Freeman at the back. They also have a good quarterback who is Matt Ryan. The Falcons also have a decent passing game with that amazing wide receiver, Julio Jones.. From reviewing the last game against the Seahawks, Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman will be the players to watch out for. On the Packers side, They have a load of amazing athletes. For example, the Packers have Aaron Rodgers, their quarterback, Randall Cobb and Devante Adams as their wide receivers, Clay Matthews as their main linebacker, Mika Hyde as their cornerback and Ha-Ha Clinton Dix as their free safety. These are all the players that the Falcons want to watch out for, especially Aaron Rodgers. It is also too bad that the Packers lost a wide receiver, Jordy Nelson.

The Steelers and the Patriots both have decent teams, but with the loss of their best tight end, Rob Gronkowski. What might give the patriots the edge is their star quarterback, Tom Brady. Since the Patriots have lost a strong key to their passing game, They would most likely rely on their running game. On the other side the steelers have three players to watch out for. They are Antonio Brown, Le’veon Bell and Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers are a very well rounded team with a good running back and a star wide receiver. This means that they have both a strong running game and strong passing game.

Camera Woman That Tripped Immagrants Brought To Justice

In September of 2015, a video surfaced of a Hungarian camerawoman tripping fleeing refugees. In this video, she even trips a man carrying a little boy in his arms. People were ecstatic to hear that police were charging the woman with 3 years probation for her inhumane actions.

The Hungarian camerawoman's name is Petra Laszlo and the man she most notably tripped was Osama Abdul Mohsen, a Syrian refugee who was holding his seven-year-old son Zaid.

The reason why refugees are seen storming past police in the video is because they were breaking a police barrier at a temporary camp near the town of Roszke, on the Hungary-Serbia border. About 400 refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan broke through the barrier.

It is said that this riot was caused by desperate conditions at the temporary camp where thousands of people had gathered on their journey to Western Europe.
While Mohnsen and his son Zaid had only stayed at the camp for a night, others had lived in the cramped conditions for weeks. Mohsen described the environment as, "caus[ing] anxiety and weariness to many migrants." The lack of interest, concern, or sympathy of the Hungarian authorities triggered the situation, causing the migrants to storm the police defences and walk their way to the nearby village, around three to five kilometres away.

Laszlo was soon fired by her employer a few days after the incident. Laszlo also apologized for her actions in a letter published by the Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet. In that article she claimed she was frightened when the migrants burst through the police cordon, and feared she would be attacked. In her letter, she mentioned,  "I am very sorry for the incident, and as a mother, I am especially sorry for the fact that fate pushed a child in my way. I did not see that at that moment. I started to panic and as I re-watch the film, it seems as it was not even me." Mohnsen's responded negatively to her apology and says that he does not believe her excuses and that karma would be the deciding factor of her fate. While Laszlo has experienced severe backlash for her actions, life has started looking up for Mohsen and his son.

Before the incident Mohsen was actually a soccer coach at a sports club in Deir Ezzor before leaving Syria. After the video went viral, his popularity landed him a job offer at a football academy near Madrid, Spain, and his son Zaid was chosen as a mascot for Real Madrid. He even had the opportunity to walk out on to the field at Madrid's stadium holding famous soccer super star Cristiano Ronaldo's hand.

Stand Up Comedy Clinic #1

      Stand up comedy is an art form where a comedian gets onstage and tells jokes to make an audience laugh. It's a very difficult and demanding art form that can be very controversial. This is because in comedy no topic is off limits. This is because comedy makes light of a dark subject. Today I'll talk to you about how jokes can affect personal relationships as they can often be a gold mine for jokes.

     I performed a routine a while ago and I told this joke "My girlfriend is a major sci-fi buff, I mean she loves that stuff. What do you call those people-oh yea Christians!" my girlfriend was in the audience. She spoke to me afterwards and said she didn't like the joke because it made fun of her religion.

    So you have to wonder where the line is to not tell jokes that involve personal relationships.What I did to fix the joke was I replaced girlfriend with friend to make it less obvious. This was not a satisfying solution because the joke lost momentum and it still made fun of a sensitive topic.  One of the problems with comedy is every joke you tell will step on peoples toes so you need to understand not everyone will be pleased with your content. If you are in a similar situation I recommend not taking your girlfriend to see your performance. 

      Something I've done is make jokes that involve personal relationships and make yourself the but of the joke. For example "My girlfriend and I walked over to an ice cream stand and the guy behind the stand asked would you like a soft serve, and she pointed to me and said 'No thanks I brought my own.' This is a good joke because it makes you the but of the joke and she looks like the comedian so it leaves your relationship intact.

    Another issue that comedians run into is where they limit their jokes because they know family and friends are in the audience. I know I've changed my set because my girlfriend was in the audience. If anything my girl looks like the comedy she came to a comedy performance so what do you expect. That's the trick you're at a comedians performance the comedians whole job is to make people laugh not to be politically correct and a nice little person. Nobody wants to see a comedian get onstage and talk about how he bought a button up shirt at sears today.

The 2017 Golden Globes Recap!

Jimmy Fallon hosted the 74th annual Golden Globes on Sunday night. The show had its variety of moments, some of which will sit with us throughout the next few months, others that will fall out of the cultural conversation by the end of the week. Here are some of the best, and some of the worst, from the star-studded night.

La La Land broke a Globes record by winning seven awards, including best musical/comedy film. In fairness, the movie seemed obvious to win that many considering it's an actual musical that takes place in Los Angeles and features Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling (both of whom also won their acting categories). Its director, Damien Chazelle, earned directing and screenplay awards to go along with the movie's Best Original Score and Best Original Song victories. Get ready: This is the start of having "City of Stars" stuck in your head until the Oscars.

After a montage displaying the incredible catalog of movies and roles to which Meryl Streep has lent her talent, the three-time Oscar-winner used her Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award speech to speak openly and honestly about everything but herself; namely, the climate that President-Elect Trump began starting at the beginning of his campaign. What followed was an amazing speech memorizing and identifying the non-American birthplaces of a handful of fellow actors to highlight their immigrant past and making an impressive statement for strong journalism in the years ahead, that quieted a intense room. She ended her lesson on empathy with a quote from the late Carrie Fisher: "Take your broken heart, make it into art."

After Mariah Carey's gaffe on New Year's Eve, wouldn't NBC double check that the teleprompter was functioning properly? Apparently not. Fallon laughed and stalled his way through a minute of awkwardness until a new monitor could be wheeled in. Fallon condemned Dick Clark Productions for possible sabotage instead.

In conclusion, the awards were something to watch with many amazing memories from this year’s Golden Globe Awards.
