Brother you're messing with a business man! You're the one going to hurt my friend.. good luck! Molon Labe

As a Korean, I stand for Canada and Mexico. Mr.Trump is messing up USA badly and treating USA alliances as an enemy. Through the trade war Mr.Trump started, many USA citizens will suffer economically and crash other economic market for the rest of world. I totally agree with Prime minister Trudeau.

Canada is just wanted the world and taught it something. Many will follow his footsteps. Donald seriously wants to mess around with its neighbors. BOS

As an American, I am disappointed in our country for yet again voting for Trump. I mourn that our country defunded education which lead to this mess.

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

From a German once living a year in Canada: If you make a Canadian that angry you really messed it up. I couldn't imagine of any better ally to have. You deserve to be treated so much better and such behavior comes from a person shouting for more respect at others. All my love to your beautiful country.

As a Canadian I have to say that Trudeau is the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history! He destroyed our country and economy. He doesn't respect Trump and Canadian people. That's why we are in this mess!

The American people messed up putting a lunatic in office. So sad

Just imagine a similar (Trump, Vance and Zelensky) dialogue - but in 1940. \n \nThe Reich is furiously bombing Britain! Churchill flies to Washington for help. and Roosevelt tells him, ‘Sir, your card is dealt. ‘Make a deal with the Führer before it's too late. ‘He's a peace-loving man. I've known him a long time.’ \nTo which Churchill replies: ‘But, Mr President, he's bombing us! My predecessors in 1938 tried to negotiate with him, but you see what happened? He doesn't honour any treaties on principle.’ \nVice President Garne enters the conversation: ‘Churchill, your country is a mess! We and Hitler want peace, and you want war! It's you who are incapable! You disrespect our Oval Office with your demands for support.’ \nRoosevelt adds: ‘Yes, Churchill, you're playing with World War II! Make peace with Hitler immediately, and give us all the resources of your island. By the way, where's your suit?’ \nTo which Churchill replies: ‘I'll wear it after the war.’

Look at the Three Mariachis! If we had more stricter laws we wouldn't be in this Mess!

Do you really want it??be careful canadians you don't want to mess with the americans.

Pierre is coming - just wait , Trudeau just go already , Pierre will fix this huge mess and make Canada great again

To put in perspective, only 1/6th of the US population voted for Trump. The rest of us are just standing here watching the mess unfold, powerless.

This is so sad. Stupid Orange ? guy making a mess. I am so embarrassed

Hah! What a tool. Canadians dont trust this douche... hes the one that messed up your country

Trudeau is not weak like Trump. He is not a bully. Don't mess with Canada..we don't have big Army but...we will still not back down to a bully.

Trudeau is a true leader. What a mess the convicted felon has gotten us into. Hoping Canada will offer asylum if needed, to the men and women of the USA that have been fighting against f45 since 2015.

All this that's happening can be thanked by you Trudeau, you're the one who caused this mess

What a speech! How do we get someone intelligent like this in office instead of a blathering orange idiot? My heart goes out for Ukraine and all the countries caught up in this mess. For the first time, I can say with absolute certainty that I am embarrassed to be an American

Elbows up neighbor! I support you from Florida. We Americans need to clean up our mess

Trudeau and his liberal criminal gang caused this entire mess! The liberals are a threat to Canadians and Americans !!

Don’t mess with our prime minister ?

American are saying they did NOT vote for this, but they DID vote for him...\nClean your mess now...\nImpeach the Felon...

Terrible how our Country America treating Canada and Mexico always been there from disasters to military in past wars. Stand up everyone there no winners! Cost of living, loss jobs and small businesses gone. But the rich will be fine but we are the ones that suffer. So messed up.

Well said Canada!!!! What a mess Trump is making!!! ?

It is going to be tough digging ourselves out of the mess that Trudeau made, but hopefully we can do it.

As a Canadian who has lived my whole life here, in my opinion there were two major factors that need to be highlighted that started this mess: fiscal policy and focus on fringe politics. First, Canada came out of the 2008 meltdown relatively unscathed due to following a markedly different strategic path than other major countries, namely tight banking regulations as well as 15 years of paying down the national debt. However, several years after 2008, sentiment shifted to adopting the same MMT-led fiscal policies as other nations: lower interest rates and deficit spending. Secondly, at least 10 years ago, there was a major political shift to start emphasizing fringe social issues (climate, race-based, gender, etc.) instead of standard issues such as the economy or military to name two, and it was strongly evident in academia and in the media. The result was little governmental, public or media attention being paid to core economic concerns such as the massive growing government and consumer debt levels, highly inflationary housing market, or decreasing productivity. When COVID hit, the government further doubled the existing federal debt and when they found that unsustainable, opened the doors to massive immigration levels to bring the Debt-per-Capita ratio down which while helping in that one metric, has further inflated the housing market all while forcing wages down. We now have unsustainable public debt levels, unaffordable housing, decreasing wages, decreasing productivity, and a troubling reactionary political swing towards extremist right-wing ideologies. Top that off with the US administration seeing Canada is on an economic precipice and threatening to take the country over, there couldn't be a more perfect storm.

Canadian here. The same Liberals that oversaw this mess for the past 9 years have now surged in the polls. They may actually have a chance at re-election...this country is full of idiots.

Yeah housing is a mess here. Even getting the most basic, cookie-cutter housing project off the ground can take several years and tens of thousands of dollars. Obviously some regulation is good, but when every step is expensively regulated to the hills and back, no one wants to build.

American GDP per capita is lopsided by tech giants that bring money from all over the world but employ small numbers compared to other industries. Take that out its just Russia. If the USA doctors charged 200k for surgey, the gdp went up 200k but the patient is now bankrupt. \n\nCanada messed up with immigration and handing out study permits. There was never a need for low skills foreign workers and diplomas that taught zero skills to international students. The root cause the crony capitalism that drives down wages and workers quality of life. Nothing will change until workers get back power they had in 50s and 60s.

Canadian here. Didn't know about the American copay for doctor visits !!! For a comparison I had something wrong last year and had to go daily to doctor appointments for over a month. I spent money on gas, 1 parking ticket (messed up one day with free on street parking), and a huge box of Tim Hortons doughnuts for the clinic staff as a thank you gift when it was all over ❤ the copay sounds horrific and explained so much. Thank you for sharing your experience in America.

This is what the democratic administration funds with American taxpayers' money it's a fact no speculation. And there still acting like it's no big deal ant they will do what they want . And for thoes taking advantage of what is happening in America today to launch there own agenda within the United States . Don't do it this mess will eventually get cleaned up and then all the focus will be on you . Think about it because there are a whole lot of WHITE people that are not living very well either White , Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, all races. Stop crying ....

West keeps making refugees and expecting Muslims countries to clean their mess . stop destroying other countries so you don’t have to bring refugees in your country . Stop the war .

still low based on the number of people deemed deportable... Suspension of inland claims will drastically reduce numbers also, not just private sponsorship of refugees. Trudeau created this mess

Don't mess with those people. ?

What an absolute mess. I cannot believe any government would allow this to happen. Trump is making the situation worse.

messed up again trump batting 500

What the hell are they doing ?? Now their politicians are a bunch of pussies too ?? WTF are they doing in CANADA ?? THIS IS GETTING SO MESSED UP. EVERY BORDER SHOULD BE CLOSED

Many of them are crying, and possibly trying to escape the cartels. To stop this we need to make Mexico great again, if it ever was great. They have historically been messed up, yet have a rich Native American and Spaniard hybrid culture.

I sure wish he'd stop messing with that & block my in-laws from coming in every damn holiday like Easter, Christmas etc.

It's not a group of 7 people at that gas station - it's 7 young men. Not families, not women and children, but MEN. Only men. And if they are now not able to get across into the US, what is Canada doing with them? Giving them temporary work visas? Canada is a mess.

Biden couldn’t even clean up his own back yard, yet he wanted to clean someone else’s. So now Trump is trying to clean up our yard because of Biden‘s mess. Also the Biden supporters need to go wash their own ? before they can wash someone else’s.

Damn it! What a mess in US? Deport, deport them where they came from.

So the Palestinians instead of the Arab world invade Europe....creating a mess there.

Don’t mess with Trump!

The government let them in to begin with lmfao lmfao they create problems so taxpayers pay for the mess lmfao lmfao

Illegals never had any respect for our country. Why else would their country be left in a disgusting mess.

TOM HOMAN HAS TO QUIT MESSING AROUND WITH THESE TARGET ILLEGALS IF HE WOULD GO TO THESE HOTELS AND AIR PORTS HOUSING THESE ILLEGALS THEN MAYBE THE SANCTUARY CITIES WILL STOP LETTING OUT THE ONES IN JAIL WITH AN ICE DETAINER.

Does Asylum claims are all fake or at least 99% of them those people have already messed up India and now they come and get into our hair
