AMERICA IS OVER RATED AND RACIST. IM A AFRICAN AMERICAN LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO. ITS TRULY SAD TO SEE THIS PLACE LOOK CRAZY LIKE THIS. ALIENATING US FROM ALL OTHER COUNTRIES BECAUSE TRUMP SAYS SO

Just to let you know, a great deal of us don’t want this either. We are trapped in a growing nightmare that is a terrifying orange clown and his psychotic South African sidekick-they are backed by nefarious groups with deep pockets who have been plotting for years and were ready on day 1 when Frump took office. They are vile and evil but very organized. We are with you! ?We are embarrassed, ashamed, and appalled at how the bully in office is treating our allies, and will do everything in our power to make this stop. The state of our world does not need more Putins and Trumps-there are more of us than them. We can overcome if we are prepared to dig our heels in and fight for what we know is right. Whenever I become disheartened I remind myself of the Ukrainian people who have been at war, fighting mostly alone for years, and somehow holding their own. They deserve more. You deserve more. The American people deserve more. Together we will overcome this scourge!?????

As a child, I remember my sister-in-law, who lived under the regime of Hitler, explain to me the horrors that occurred in their country by this tyrant. Now, the USA has a maniac who is taking us Americans through the same things that Hitler took my sister-in-law and her family through. Being an older African American woman, I am not afraid of this President, or what he can do, I grew up with strong black women, and he can't bring me down!! I respect Canada for standing up for themselves. May God ever bless and keep you.

?Canada just cut electricity supply to america well done on those tarrifs. As a south african you have my support

I'm African American and I am very disappointed about the trading war with Canada. \nTrump is a clueless person.

Trudeau - Trump is a traitor to the United States of America. He's under PUTIN'S thumb. Trump is PUTIN'S puppet. Real Americans will never bow down to RUSSIA. \n\nWe can't count on Trump for Nothing!! He's letting a South African Billionaire wreak havoc on American people and lives!!!\n\nThis is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!

We need a Global Alliance of Democratic countries. JAPAN, Australia, Taiwan, South-Korea, Mexico, Asia? African countries?

I'm an African American VP Harris2024 voter #The92Percent?????‍?????, and I'm standing with Canada ??.....againt Velveeta Voldemort, JD (Junior Dick) Eyeliner, Apartheid Clyde and the #MAGAZombieCult?‍♂️?‍♀️!!!!!

Canada we stand with you ...from a Israeli South African...we love you

Traitor Trump doesn't care about the prosperity of the average everyday Americans. He cares and has only cared about his own prosperity. FDJT, Shadow President Musk (the illegal South African immigrant) and the Lying RepubliCON Party!

I'm an African American all the way from Houston Texas and I stand with Canada

Never liked you Justin but I agree with you. From South African. We’ll done

as an african am loving this internal conflict, cant run from karma one why or the other she needs payment??

Yes, the number two in the Oval Office is Pence, and his words often come across as cheap, bullying tactics. Instead of offering real leadership or thoughtful discussion, he uses language that tries to intimidate and put others down. His approach often feels like he's trying to hold onto power by scaring people, rather than standing on solid ground with strong ideas. This kind of talk may work for some, but it only creates more division and gets in the way of real progress.\nThe biggest mistake was introducing tariffs without any backup plans in place. The bottom 60% of U.S. citizens will likely struggle to make ends meet in less than two years, stuck behind the barriers of these tariffs. The idea that South American countries might step in to help the U.S. seems unrealistic. More likely, the U.S. will find itself isolated, facing political instability—and to put it bluntly, a loss of trust—thanks to an overinflated ego and a sense of entitlement.\nCould the U.S. turn to African countries for their natural resources? It’s possible, but this effort probably won’t be successful. Most African nations, except for those in the Sahel region, are just beginning to recover from the effects of colonialism. Many are now building their own paths and are more likely to align with China’s influence rather than the U.S. Even if the U.S. tries to get resources from Africa, it will likely face challenges from both local resistance and growing competition from China.

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

Trump acted on false information and fought with South African. As South African, I stand with Canada.

He should've addressed a specific South African as well

have gone through the comment section, most Americans are just emotional. your president might not be a perfect person but truly he is putting your country first. As an outside and an African, USA as a country has been taken advantage of by most western countries. China is taking over the whole world.

South African here.. am disgusted and appalled by Trump and what's going on.. fully supporting Canada and Ukraine. praying for resolution

Can all African leaders gather here and see how a leader speak... I love you sir.

As a South African, I'm SO impressed with Mr Trudeau . Those are the world leaders we need. USA , Trump, has overplayed his hand. Thanks to Musk's advice USA is Sinking

I am a proud South African ??. I stand with and support the brave people of Canada as well as the honest and sensible citizens of the U.S.A who look at the facts and see that the actions of Donald Trump are nothing but childish antics that hurt Americans more than anyone else.

I’m a stolen African native of Judah but I stand with Canada f America

Before Trump is done, the United States will need a loan from African countries.

Africans should seize this opportunity and unite. The global West have never been weaker than now. \n\nThank you Donald Idiot Trump. Continue to divide the West.

Iam an african , let trump come to sense now

As a South African, I’m very proud of how direct and articulate the Canadian PM is. Canadians have a true fighter on their side.

As an American, I would rather see the US become a 4th territory of Canada, instead of watching our country be destroyed daily by the amateur fascist that a feeble and feckless Attorney General Merrick Garland allowed to escape justice, and to become the 47th president with the help of a psychotic South African billionaire, and 49% percent of our population who is too fucking stupid to NOT worship at the dangly scrotum of trump and putin.

I'm South African and I stand with Canada. ??

Trudeau sell fertiliser to African countries.

Trump is a problem to the developed countries but a bitter blessing to the third world countries. Look at African countries they have everything that nature can provide they are capable of standing on their two F... Foot but the US has been like a mother who doesn't want to let her kids walk by there own feet. The US has been dishing the African countries with chocolate that doesn't benefit them with anything this is the biggest course of poverty in Africa. They need to get away from the USA and the rest of the developed countries so that they can create a better African for their people. Trump please cut them all out cut the relationship so that this countries may elect a proper president without the developed countries planting their puppets. Please let them go for once

MAGA- Make America Go Away, Slava Ukraine, Love from South Africa.....( Black South African and not the White Afrikaaner that you offering refugee status on bullshit information, too the rest of the world we are not killing white people and taking thier property).

Europe embraces You, Canada. We thank you for not giving in to the orange fascist and the South African oligark. I just hope America isn't totally lost in a mix of right wing extremism and Russian influence, so USA still can be salvaged, when Trump is thrown out of The White House. God bless us all.

My apologies to Canada and Mexico for what our Orange Idiot does. He is clearly a Russian asset. Putin is called the shots for his stupid pet. Expect Trump to continue to align himself with Belarus, North Korea and all the African Dictators that are Putin stuges

Im South African and i absolutely love a leader that stands up for their people.

india people you are 100% the reason for visa changes rules. this channel is pure propagnada. some 20 000 or more never ending took any courses just went to canada to steal jobs from canadians. and some 50 000 indians were caught illegaly crossing into usa. fun fact nomad captislts rank the india passport 179-185 the world over lower than most african countries all about experience with said country

I’m just confused aren’t Asians , Africans and Arabs aren’t they rich already? The hell they want to come here for unless for crime ? Or escaping crime they did in home country ?

You know what's crazy I bet as a white Canadian citizen and crossed the border went to a hotel shelter I'd be refused but if I was Indian or Hispanic or African I'd be sheltered 100% ?

If America is such a racist country why are Africans clamoring to come here doesn't make any sense at all these type of questions should be asked to the Liberals when they keep pushing their racist narrative now I would simply asked the question If America is so racist why are Africans coming here in droves and doesn't that make some claim that America is better than Africa if they want to come here

She’s East African like me! Focusing on the situation, this is disheartening. Not only is she the type to play victim, but clearly you can tell that landlord is patient and reasonable. Hate when honest or good people get screwed. Happened to me more times than I ever woulda expected. Sad thing is that even with eviction, he may not get back all the money he was owed.

I want reparations as my family members fought slavery on the high seas. many parished. who pays that ? black people? the africans who sold their brothers and sisters into slavery ? Asking for me and other friends.

There once was a time that Africans didn't want to go to the USA?????\n\nCould it be because of America being a good place?\n\nGod bless America; Israel; Trump and the Republicans!!!

Wonderful explanation.We as South Africans stayed and endure the hardships of apartheid and we fought to the bitter end and we are free in our own country.Peace stopped the killng everything l

It's astonishing to watch how some African Americans fight against their own best interest! Willful ignorance

India has most imagrants settling in Canada, Africans settled in Jamaica soon Canada will look more like India mutch like Jamaica looks like Africa. As long as imagrants are law biding that's growth. Shouldn't be bias and welcome imagrants. USA has Soo mutch land to offer only kamala Harris plan to open boarders more to India Pakistan failed. Trump like controlled boarders were Canada Trudeau welcomes imagrants from Pakistan, India. Trudeau's lust and lack of brains towards sinful same sex. God says in holly Bible in Leviticus same sex is sinful. Foreign countries imagrants flee to Canada and USA to practice sinful same sex. With crime increasing with imagrants stolen cars as shipped over seas, Canada has to deport all criminals and there whole family only then would imagrants be mindful knowing they'll get there whole family deported at this point its a joke biggest gold hesist at Toronto airport prime example besides imagrants on news always for crimes like crime theft, sexual crimes, fraud. Welcome to Canada were leaders are too bussy making corrupt deals for new highways, (Ford) Trudeau's biggest latest scam high speed rail from Toronto just to Quebec. Forcing every province pay for French scam of year stealing tax payers dollars from all province. Trudeau saying using Canadain steel only was to blindly fool Ontario to think Trudeau's saving jobs when fact is hese stealing tax payers money all across Canada for a French project that only Quebec wants so French can see CN TOWER,NIAGRA FALLS.

It’s not Canada job to check on people going from it territory to the us, if you leave the us to Canada, it’s the responsibility of the Canadian borders patrol to know who they are ect..During the 60’s, Fidel Castro Ruz said to the Canadians: what they’re doing to us, they are doing to you to. Did the Canadians understood, like my infant daughter had habit to : I nen know. Today, in Quebec, Ontario, the factoriy buildings are still up but inside completely empty. After the implode of the Soviet Union as the only rooster on the block, they asked most of the countries around the world to shut down theirs raffineries, in Alberta Canada there is one in Balzac, nobody today knows it existence. The us produce light crude and theirs raffineries are built for heavy one, the reason they need oil from the outside and they pay very cheap for it, like Canada got 7 dollars/ barrel, not too long ago, today, I think it’s $ 16.00. To extract the oil from the sand, that cost a lot of money and the pollution level dios mios. They care, good luck. In Africa, with theirs vassals, they organize coups after coup, according to voster, i think, an Africa with the Africans is earth paradise, now they started to ask them to leave, they don’t need them. The canadian company barrick of Toronto just paid something around $480 billions, the ceo had a warrant arrest after his a… the australian one of resolute was in jail and paid what they owed, all of them are a bunch of thieves. They better be careful with the chineses but they are still long time better than any country the collective West. Like I said it, since the beginning of the 2000, the us and the remaining of the g7 will be at each other throat, GOOD.?

How do these people get to Canada in the first place? Apparently they have a border problem as well, we should send their border patrol some $$ assistance instead of funding African's accessibility to condoms ?

14:42 Black Mofos with Victim mentality. Where Africans live becomes Africa.

Confirmed Black Americans hate Africans they didn't send word to the homeland that the US literally has no boarders and once there you live like a King ??!

I live 6,000 miles from USA but I was wondering if they report this stuff on your regular news. Is it really going this crazy there? I heard that the president got more votes from African American and Latino than any time in history.
