Canada good got point ??????

Clone Trudeau and make him our president too. He's a smart, reasonable man who has his moral compass pointed in the right direction. Donald Trump, not even close. How he got elected is the mystery that will no one will ever solve. But he is going to destroy the United States if we don't get him out of office.

How much have you increased inspecting foreign cargo to check for illegal substances?\nThere are still migrants flying into Canada and walking across the border being picked up by the bus load transporting them to sanctuary cities like New York. What are you doing to prevent migrants use your country as a stopping point to walk into the US?\nYou need to do more. Look what Mexico has done.

Very good response, great communication and reasonable. Big fan of Canada. Disappointed we are at this point with our neighboring country. Not a good move Donald. Russia, really?

What’s the point in being an ally of America?

AS an AMerican and single mom self employed 57 year old woman in AMerica I don't want this either and didn't support Trump or his agenda. I am trapped here and suffering like so many and preparing for complete financial collapse at this point. So sorry Canada. We didnt want this either

Trump is fucking up everything he touches! Affecting our lives at every point! REMOVE HIM from office for sabotaging our country AND our lives!! I stand with you Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the European Union.

I disagree with PM Trudeau on only one point. Trump is NOT a smart man. There is only one way to understand Trump's recent actions. Trump is a Russian asset. Full Stop.

He should point out all the SH@# that comes from across the border into Canada...not just drugs, but their guns as well

At 3 min 33 secs, Did he say- On that point let me be crystal meth? ???

America's government pointing fingers is wild???

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

At this point Trudeau is better then trump.

As an American.... we don't want this either. Most of us that aren't in the cult reject his lies. I am trying to learn all I can, not really a reference point for how to handle this here but we're fighting... I stand with our true allies, not the axis.

#1. Trump postponed so that Canada wouldn’t literally freeze them out by cutting off energy. Now that winter is ending it’s game on\n#2. If Trump wanted to start a war with Canada he needs congress. The only way to get them on his side is Canada to poke the US in the eye.\n#3. Quit talking about Fentanyl without pointing every finger at China. \n#4. If you like how Trudeau is acting now, after 9 years. That’s just a politician who knows they won’t be re-elected. He still has to protect his party though. Too little too late

Wow, Trump is good. Shook Canada to listen and work now. I am sure he has their attention, and an a few weeks, he will fix these tariffs. The point here is he is not playing any games with the world and he is putting America first best to work with then against America.

Trudeau is just hurting his own people, but I guess thats nothing new at this point. Candadian inflation will go up and America will not be greatly effected. If anything we can just import those same goods from somewhere else at a better price. Countries around the world are lining up to take these contracts as we speak.

Trudeau is no “friend” and a very poor ally. The USA only imports 1% from the future 51st state. Canada imports 25% from the USA. Gov Trudeau is lying about who gets hurt. It will be those above the border. Stop the fentanyl Justine. That’s the whole point of the tariffs. You are killing Americans.

What was the point of this speech? Was it a threat? No. Was it a plea? Yes. Was he criticizing Trump? Not really. Was he praising Trump? Yes! How can anyone approve this speech??

All signs point to a Cold War soon to start between Canada and United States

Watch everyone a year from now is going to have a different tune when all this fearmongering is gone. Trudeau is so bad he doesn't even want to run for reelection. We don't even know if inflation is going to get worse. No one knows that. California was paying $7 to $8 gas at one point with Biden.

More inflation isn't going to affect most of us. We've already had so much that we can't afford anything anyway. If a house already costs a million dollars who cares if it goes up to 100 million. Is truly not worth working during this period of time until work pays a living again. I'm at the point I'd rather go live off the land on a commune

Honestly at this point I hope he crashes the economy. That is maybe the only last resort the Americans will see common sense and turn against their wannabe dictator and his crown prince before it is too late. You guys voted a dictator in because you thought Biden somehow caused the world wide inflation. Well what do you think 25% of import tariffs are going to do.

How about looking at the amount of illegal firearms coming into Canada from the USA? Bet it's higher than the less than 1% fentanyl we're so quick to point to as the reason for this trade war.

What is it about? It's about creating enough panic, fear, emotion, hostility, booing anthems, etc to the point where he has an excuse to 'restore order'. Classic despot move. ?? ❤ ??

Hope the US nation will stand up and protest against this orange clown that's slowly turning the biggest and mightiest nation of the Free World into a racist olicharchy and destroying freedom, healthcare and affordibility for your average US citizen from within. This will not become better. This will only get worse to the point it's irreversibel.

The tariffs are on all countries importing into the U.S. \nYou either build in the U.S. or have higher tariffs, it’s a strategy to build more business and jobs in the U.S. \nFixing the U.S. economy that is $36 TRILLION in Debt, while cutting off foolish spending in USAID. Do you have a problem with that?\n\nThe decision to befriend Russia is not cause Trump is pro-Putin, but to end a war Zelenskyy wants to continue for years, an utterly unnecessary war where thousands are dying for no reason, and billions spent on war when you can spend it on building up the economy (we already gave Zelensky 300 BILLION of our taxpayer money and Ukraine isn’t winning). The goal is to end unnecessary dying and to prevent WW3 nukes flying. Only complete fools think playing games with NUKES is a good idea, pointing a finger at you NATO!\n\nWhen NUKES fly, we are literally f…..ed!!!!

Mr, Trudeau prime minister, I am glad that you are standing up to trump do what is right for your country do not allow this, man child trump push you around, stand up take a stand do what is right what is just, your people who voted for you deserve it, show the world ?? that integrity, honestly and the rule of law still matters, let the world see trump for what he is, and I say to the other leaders do not be afraid to do the right thing, a good leader loves his people a good leader protects it's people , silence ? at this point in time is not acceptable, when you see tyranny speak up i asked my father ounce what makes a man, i could see in his face that he was thinking about this question very hard and he turned and looked at me and said, a man will stand up for what he believes in,no matter the price, and a real man will always protect those that can't protect themselves, for this is the mark of a real man and gentleman, i have never forgotten those words that he spoke to me, and I believe that this saying also has religious implication as well, after everything is said and done it's not the voters that are going to judge you in the end it's god and he is going to judge you on his standards not MAGA

I also want to point out that there hasn't been many anti chinese rhetorics from Trump lately. Just to point out that Trump no longer cares about dictators and now has a very different agenda now.

This Trump buffoon proves to us that there is no point in giving him anything. He takes the money and gives nothing in exchange: isn't that a thief?

Merci infiniment à toutes ces personnes du monde entier qui sont ici pour appuyer le Canada dans ces temps difficiles. Je manque de mots pour dire à quel point c'est apprécié. Merci.

there is no point in speaking to donald trump as if he is an american who cares about america. he doesnt. he is bought and paid for by russia and only works for THEM not us. hes a traitor and a disgrace

News Lapdogs always sensationalize and exaggerate information “to get a reaction “. Also, why aren’t you reporting your lapdogs SELF-VICTIMIZING and pointing out that “Donald” was harsh language…PATHETIC LAPDOGS

So…. You haven’t stopped illegal immigrantion yet? That’s was the whole point….

Talk as much as you like, but at which point are you generals going to call this for what it is? - TREASON! Your country is going to Hell in a hand basket and you’re all sitting around doing nothing. Crazy country.

Trudeau is using liberal talking points and fear mongering, as an AMERICAN I stick with my President…. It’s just talking points, but of course we have those who will buy into all the bs he’s spewing, he’s no better than a progressive liberal.

Trudeau is sooo on point!!!!…………and he is effing FINE….??

Canada will just sell items to the EU and China, at zero tariffs, and tariff US products. US auto prices will increase to a point if unsustainability. The US will become more and more isolated. US GDP will shrink. An international disaster is unfolding becasue of a 14 year old mentality leading the US, The Orange Scourge.

Trudeau is using liberal talking points and fear mongering, as an AMERICAN I stick with my President…. It’s just talking points, but of course we have those who will buy into all the bs he’s spewing, he’s no better than a progressive liberal.

the most patriotic thing you can do as an american is support europe at this point

You were on point but immediately you mentioned Russia you lost bro, you ve lost. We Africans support Russia wholeheartedly.

Trump is violating his own USMCA Trade agreement in place today. So when he wonders which numb nut put it in place he’s talking about himself. If he’s trying to point the finger at someone who fell asleep at the wheel for the trade deficit, there are multiple factors INCLUDING HIMSELF.

what all of a sudden Trudeau is on your side -- you stupid Canadians wake the fuck up, All Canada has to do is lower its tariffs to the USA and bam its reciprocal. Trudeau is playing the redical left card sounding off all the talking points of the left media for the past 4 years or more. Hes still the same fucking liar as he always been -- none of those things are true but if you believe them then judgment is coming for you and you will not Escape.

As a collective and to take a lead from a dignified president that this is how he should be confronted with his insanity and intimidation\nIf enough leaders take a firm stand, point out the facts, and expose him for his tsunami of outright lies, he will crumble, bullies and weak people who hide behind a facade of toughness always do \nWell done, sir, a great, balanced, and well delivered speech and a breath of fresh air to hear coherence and intelligence

Good and reasonable points but it seems to be that you sound too aggressive and pushing while speaking to His Royal Majesty, the Greatest and the Magnificent, Tremendous White Thunder of the Universe Donaldinho Trumpet the 1st, the Great and Untouchable Leader of Trumponian Empire.

Why didn’t you do this before the threats of tariffs. Makes no sense. You’ve been in charge for years. Yet only last week did you appoint people to stop the issues that are the talking points. It’s all BS. You’re a clown. A Neo con clown

He’s not talking to the average American worker… he’s talking to the liberal activists to give them talking points…

This is a LOT of TALK for a man who ruined the Canadian economy with bliss. Yet no one is going to point that out since it doesn’t fit their agenda. Imagine having a 22% approval rating and trying to tell the US what they’re doing is wrong….

What sort of creep would call Trump smart? Switched off at that point.

Someone has to stop this psychopath, the worst president in history. How can we afford food or rent at this point??? If he’s doing tariff then he should start paying Americans $3000 a month each family. What a psychopath!
