We stand with you president trump! Canada, Ukraine, Israel, ect ect do not control us. We don't need you, you need us. Time for you to get that through your heads.

I cant ? say American government going to be there for us. During these hard times.

Why aren't US Americans protesting? Speaking up? Hitting the streets to fight this? You are all so meek. Weren't you the ones that said that you needed guns in the government is full of traitors? Now is the time. Now it's full of traitors.

People in Canada just have to do what they have to do. But there are ways to carry on without 100% of the US business and hospitality. We never had to look far for things as American companies had offered to deal with Canada of course to their profit as well. So now we have to look around for new customers, start new ventures. It doesn't have to be this way. Things were great for both of us the way it was. And it can be that way again once Trump is gone. This will be temporary. Trump is not forever. We both have realized now what both countries had and we can carry on when the time comes.

Trump is selling us out to Russia. Don't be surprised when all our rights are taken away, and Putin becomes Vice President, or President. Very frightening times right now.

We are SO SORRY, Canada! \nThere are MILLIONS of American’s who feel the same… “Make it make sense?!” Thank you Canada for years of wonderful relations. This is what the people want to continue. Thank you PM Trudeau, for speaking the truth and speaking directly to us and our current, unfortunate leadership with facts and decorum. We applaud you standing your ground. Stay strong against our bullying government. It’s a sad, sad time. ❤️‍?

Now that the US is led by a madman, Canada, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand must strengthen their ties and cooperation. It's time to build a new alliance based on shared values and a commitment to freedom and democracy—because the US is falling, slowly turning into an idiocratic dystopia ruled by a corrupt oligarchy, just like Russia. We must also deepen our ties with other democracies worldwide and keep fighting for just causes and a better future.

Canadian here- I hate Trudeau just as much as most Canadians, and as it seems most Republican Americans do as well. But I fully stand behind him at this hour. He might have shit the bed for most Canadians during his time as PM, but when it mattered he has stood up for Canada. Review the facts and educate yourself on the current situation between CAN and the US. I will be the first to admit, Canada has not done enough in terms of its own security and military, but these failures should not be the decay in our friendship as nations. The US DOES NOT subsidize Canada, it DOES NOT give money to Canada. In simple terms- the larger country, with the largest economy in the world (USA) buys more from its Northern brother, which produces vast amounts of natural resources which the larger southern country requires. As for the booing seen at most recent sports events in Canada, that is directed at the President, not the average American. I myself would never boo a national anthem, an anthem that millions have sacrificed to protect and defend. But I understand the pain and anger that is coming from my country. We have always been allies, friends, and to most even family. I do hope that in the future our relationship can heal and move forward but the current actions being taken by the American admistration are horrendus and upsetting to most of the world outside of the US. I wish us all the best in the future, be nice to one another, and always remember that the US and Canada have fought, spilled blood, and died alongside one another in the fight for democracy and freedom around the world.

Canada, nomore us idiotic alliance. Time to create our own with the strongest army in Europe - Ukraine ??.

I don't understand who's in charge there in the higher rangs at the US but don't y'all think MR trump needs to be investigated about Russia ? Is no one thinking about his bussy to betraye his country,,his citizens,,and his friends ( allies) ...or are we in stone time again? Make Amerika great again.\n.wel I can tell u this,,after few months there's not gonna be much Great anymore..the only Great are gonna be the great problems Trump and his dumb heads maded. Promise wait and see. World,,Unite now !!!

Trump is NOT a very smart guy. He is the dumbest person on the planet and is destroying the US a piece at a time.

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

43% of GenZ want to become the 51st state. A significantly higher figure want to move to the US.\nLets be clear here, the loyalty is only to the Canadian people right now. There is absolutely ZERO loyalty over this colonial puppet state that only became a thing in the 1980's, and has utterly failed its population for the past DECADE.\nThey (quite litterally I may add) would rather see us OD on the streets than have a 3% reduction in housing. \nEvery 25 year old I know, are living with their parents despite having 6 figure jobs.\n\nWe Canadians beat our chest and act hard when the US says this, but we turn a blind eye to Chinese/Indian/Iranian foreign influence and extrajudicial killings. The fact our own people are threatened and killed by foreign governments is insane. But the DOUBLE STANDARD we have in being everybodys doormat while rejecting integration with the US, is insane. \n\nWe litterally have avoided MULTIPLE recessions because the US has bailed us out time and time again. notably in 2021. Were in the G7 only because of the US.\nOur GDP also litterally collapsed in 2015, and were only drudging on by because the US helped us along. They dont want to do that anymore.\n\nCanada is dead, and our economy is dead. I have no loyalty to a government that wants me either dead or a slave to make money for BOOMERS. \nI would be a BOOTLICKER if I was to support the Canadian government.

We have maintained a high level standard of living, when by all rights we should not have it. Many want to blame government, but one part of the problem is an over reliance as an exporter of raw natural resources and a reliance on generally a single market (USA) for our goods. Interestingly enough the problems have been reinforced by governments of every type. What annoys me most is that these issues have been known for a long time, and the various governments have been scared to do anything about it. And they never took Sir Donald's words seriously - either about the tarriffs or statehood. I have heard zero from any level of government looking for new markets for our goods, yet they have had since November to do something. Going to be a stressful ride for many of us. I am recently retired and wonder if I should be worred.

Im going to be fully honest. Trump usually ends up saying something completely stupid and absurd at the time, but in the future there ends up being some truth to it. It's like he can see the future or something. So imagine if Canada gets so bad, that some Canadian provinces secede from Canada and join the US. ?

Canada has many problems and disadvantages which will need to be determinedly addressed in the coming years. However, we have one key advantage over our friends to the south, and one I hope that over time this will increasingly bear fruit: we are not governed by a fascist-adjacent government. Our only political party with policies resembling the American Republicans is polling in the low single digits.\n\nSetting aside the question of whether American Republicans are 'fascist-adjacent', the truth is that much of the world perceives it as such. Our economy is so tied to the US that I would not wish them ill, or at least not very much. However, I think in the competition for talent American politics will be like a 'mark of Cane' on that country for a generation. My guess is that our - in comparison - boring politics will be a key advantage in the years to come.

it's going to work. Canada wont go to sell in EU or China it's over seas way to long and most of the times still has to go thru the US lol it's to costly for one, and EU just wont cover all the cost, forget the logistic nightmare. US is like a 2 hour drive away!! big big difference. So simple, trumps tariffs will make Canadien companies sell there product higher so they dont lose to much profits. what does that do? US wont buy! then companies shut down, people loose their jobs. very simple. Many go on welfare for a year, when they run out older one or less educated one cant find jobs etc...Trump will kill Canada plain and simple. that's it that's all. He want our resources and will do it, we are done for. this will also kill truck drivers and many many many side workers. until we are part of the US.

Simple they are conning their way into our country's and using our system against us time to stop this abuse and start to arrest revoke deport NOW

US Gov should implement a 'Cane' law system (to hit someone with a long, thin stick as a punishment) for all these illegal immigrants...before deporting them back. In few years' times, the reinforcement team will know where to check for repeated offenders.

umm last time we checked....if u wanna go into the us u have to go past US CUSTOMS.......SOOO canada isnt letting anyone in......the US CUSTOMS IS

Last year, Walmart Canada reported gross revenue of $6 billion, up 1.8% from the previous year. \n \n In 2022, Home Depot brought in approximately 12 billion Canadian dollars of sales. \n \n Costco In Canada and through its international ventures the company generated 34.9 billion and 35.3 billion U.S. dollars, respectively. \n \n you get the point. \n \nThis is scary \n \nA foreign company in Canada does not have a specific time frame to keep its profits in a Canadian bank; however, according to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), most business records, including profits, must be kept for a minimum of six years from the end of the last tax year they relate to. \n \nKey points to remember: \n \nNo legal restriction on withdrawal: \n \nThere is no law that forces a foreign company to keep its profits in Canada for a specific duration. \n \nThis is just a few of the companies from the US that take $100 billion+ out of our economy every year and put it in US banks. why do we let them. they should keep that money in canada. interest rates for loans would go down. \n \n \nAI Overview from google \n \nWhen banks have more money, interest rates tend to go down. This is because a larger money supply increases the amount of credit available, which lowers the cost of borrowing.

If you believe in the God of Israel that land was given to the Israelites by God allowing them to go and inherit it because those people were worshiping false gods, but since Israel also fell into idolatry and at times didn’t trust in God , God handed them over to enemies , as a Christian we know what will happen in the future because the Bible tells us that although Israel is in disobedience, God still has promises for the Jews.

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.?

Its about time that these northen states feel and see what us texans have been dealing with

mmfl i live in canada in niagara and our border patrol even give us citizens a hard time going over. get your facts right, ill send you footage i talk to them all day

It's funny but the first time tRUMP was in office he didn't give two shits about the northern border when immigrants were crossing into Canada from the US side.\n How about stopping the flow of guns crossing into Canada from the US

For a really long time drugs and people have been using the same spot, Ever since the days of prohibition, a the federally-recognized government of the Saint Regis Mohawk Reservation at Akwesasne. The territory under our jurisdiction lies south of the border dividing the United States and Canada, you can drive in the Canadain side and come out in the US upstate New York,\nAug 2, 2016 — Organized crime uses the highly porous Mohawk reservation as a conduit for illicit cargo, Oct 28, 2017 — Some Mohawks resent any presence of US or Canadian law enforcement in the reservation , they are letting the people pass no matter what they're bringing and don't want any law enforcement to even step on their grounds, so maybe their making money that way...

There are BILLIONS of ppl who in Africa, South America and Islam multiplied one thousand times in 100 yrs. They will not stop rapidly recklessly multiplying and of course, high numbers of kids per adult, esp abandoned mothers, creates poverty. Even if they make it to adulthood on hand outs stolen from your tax dollars they cannot possibly keep up with infrastructure, housing, sanitation, education, roads etc for an exploding population. You cannot possibly keep up with their needs. Then they blame us for causing their poverty when ctually it's their own fault and these smears are propaganda to justify invading us, robbing us of our jobs, driving housing prices sky high and stealing our ID's, posing as us, and getting jobs they use to deny us survival in govt, banks, medical, housing, HR etc. YES THEY ARE> It's very obvious. They get a stolen passport then change the name, photo, reissue it and voila. They have their own corrupt people in position to do it on the back end. It's already been exposed in the UK for many years. It's a global program, carefully coordinated. And people in the inside are helping them led by foreign men in dresses. YES THEY ARE. The pope wants this. The Vatican has sworn to destroy democracy for as long as it's existed. That's a fact. There's zero liberty, votes, free speech in the Bible. ZERO. Read it again. Jesus rules with an iron rod over a global slave world in the end of the Bible after all the groomers promises. Seditious treason is a very serious crime. Acting to disassemble law and order in our world is TREASON. IDGAF if you think you are doing it for your god. Go to a country that wants a king who vows to slave you...not our democracy.

Those who cross to US illegally should be deported and NEVER eligible for legal entry or residency in their life times

If ANYONE IS ILLEGALLY IN THE US -LAW ABIDING OR NOT- THEY ARE CRIMINALS including their ninos-and WILL BE REMOVED OR STARVED OUT. Their illegal 'shelters' will be blocked & taken over by even the US military. Even if the female LIBERALS, who for a short time more, have authority DOJ Bondi will have them arrested, convicted & sent to be cell mates with that Liberal Senator recently taken to prison for 11 years.

When did sanctuary laws come into place, where they quietly put in place.\nI’m busy working 56 hours a week.\nI was born in NYC AND LIVE IN CALIFORNIA.\nI would have never voted for sanctuary status.\nThey pull this sh;;/$&@t on us US citizen all the F:(()&@@ng time. \nWe need these policies cover on our news.

I am from Canada, a country that votes for communist leaders (3 times) so there isn't much hope for us! Help us Donald, you're our only hope.

To be fair, most of those migrants went into Canada through the US border in the first place. I do find it odd that they'd be now flooding into the US. What a stupid time for them to do it. I hope Trump truly deports them so they don't go into either country and only back to their homeland.

America has no vacancy’s. We don’t want you here, we are not required to let you in so quit coming. The US is full of citizens. I hear Russia is nice this time of year.

The next time you guys see some of these hoochie mamas waving their big butts in the air and showing off their long nails and telling us how stupid we are to be working because look at all the goodies they have, please report them. I'll tell you I'm going to have a party when that happens.

Have ICE agents pull over EVERY bus on the routes to the US and make it difficult to transfer them in. I'm willing to join ICE and donate ALL of my time with absolutely no pay. I love our country and this is way out of control. ??

thing is, Trump has the right idea about erasing the phony US-Canada border. What you do is look at all the resources, customs, inspectors, the massive amount from both sides on that border, ok?\nNow, it would be far FAR better than you take all of that and you now MOVE IT, all those choppers, people, money, time, resources along the North American border. the OUTSIDE perimeter of Canada and the outside perimeter of USA. \nNow, Canada does a far far better job stopping 1000s of Sikhs ad Chinese and whoever else before they GET INTO North American landmass. \n otherwise, yes it's difficult to stop once they are INSIDE Canada because that border is so long, so vast, so sparsely populated, wilderness forever, forests, it becomes extremely difficult by that time. \nErase the phony border.

My wife and I took a bus trip to see the Rockies some years ago. We crossed the US/Canadian border several times. Each time, border security did a passport check on everyone (both sides of the border) and a random luggage search. My wife and I, in our 50s, were the youngest on the bus. Under Biden, tens of thousands of young, military age men waltzed across the border into the US and given all sorts of generous gifts.

I mean that’s wrong to say everybody’s fit to serve. It’s just when you’re going through surgeries like that and you’re taking hormones that are injections that are not naturally produced in your body then yeah it makes a lot of sense. Why you shouldn’t be in the navy I mean you gotta see it this way testosterone is 100% pure anger OK naturally produce testosterone. We are naturally angry all the time but someone who’s just getting injected with it and just now starting to become like one of us is going to have to realize that it’s not going to work the same way as it works for people who naturally produce it. Don’t get me wrong. Everybody deserves to be who they want to be, but at the same time we do have to look at the scientific things of it too. You don’t want a soldier going crazy.

It's all the advocates, politicians etc., protests allocating all their time on illegal criminals from being deported. It will take so much time to get the criminals out. Mind boggling no it's our own citizens fighting for illegals. Are they fighting to abolish borders all together that's what it looks like. What answers do they give us. Illegal is breaking the law you disrespect the law why have consequences to any law.

I lived in Montana for five years moving from Ontario Canada. I returned after five years because your legal system is a joke. Healthcare is so expensive living in Canada’s way. Better get free healthcare which to me is the number one top thing.Canada has free health care everyone in need can get welfare low income housing the disabled have disabled people a paycheque each month that covers their bills and food costs. I came back when I had my daughter her dad‘s in Montana. I am in Canada now. I lived there for five years and the people are very judgmental. I find and drugs are so much more accessible in the US. I found the racism just blunt in the US Like people don’t even try to hide it jobs in Montana at that time I was making three dollars an hour minimum wage when we were getting paid $10 an hour in Canada at that time so minimum wage is way higher

wow, I have to get my VISA every time I visit my family in the US, yeah .... every single time. I live w/o family in Europe, bc I'm stuck.

It happens in all white western world civilizations. They don’t think they need to assimilate because of this idea of out lax immigration policy and taking in too many too fast. They find their little pocket of like ethnicities and stick with them. Look at the US. It’s time to put out foot down. It’s not racism, it’s assimilation which is a NORMAL essential process of migrating.

Sad time for us all but the human spirit and resilience will shine us thru this dark time hope people grow compassion

I’ve watched a handful of your vids now and just some honest feedback since you seem pretty chill but you talk about the US like 38 million people don’t live at or below the poverty line and like 26 million people don’t have health insurance; like your food standards aren’t some of the lowest of one of the wealthiest countries in the world; like a child’s life only matters when it’s attached to a woman’s autonomy, but once it’s born even things like gun ownership take precedence over child welfare.\n\nThe people who suffer from these issues the most are probably not people you see all the time because our cities and rural spaces are organized with economic segregation which creates a disparity in tax revenue across different areas, resulting in underfunded public services in low-income neighborhoods, while wealthier areas receive more resources, creating a cycle of inequality and limiting opportunities for residents in poorer communities. \n\nSo honestly it’s great that you are trying to learn more about Canada, but you seem way too comfortable with the state of things. Maybe start a new channel where you take a look at some of these topics because you genuinely do seem like a curious person. Godspeed and I hope you become radicalized soon.

He’s deporting people who are here legally and awaiting processing. Immigration process is long and expensive. Unless you’re wealthy. So imagine doing it the right way and this happens. We tried to tell people but no one listened. I’m black and I already know they are gonna harass us and ask us for our papers. And racists whites don’t care. MAGA= racists. That is how we see you. They truly think that being a “true “ American is being white. My grandmother was black and Choctaw. They saw it and see it differently. Her grandmother was killed by the slave master because she refused to have anymore of his children. Many of us are descendants of rapists. Trumps people weren’t even in the country at that time and when they did come here grandpappy Trumf was running a bordello in Alaska.

We wrestle not against Flesh or Blood but against Powers against Principalities against the Rulers of this so called world against Spiritual Wickedness in High Places. One big Narrative, Pyramid Ponzi schemes where only the very few Profit, Control, Manipulate, Shape, Deceive Enslave humanity. A great Deception where Humanity is being played along like a Fiddle. Global Tyrannical Psychopathic Governments controlled by Secret Societies, Elites, Lobbyists not us the people. Time to wake up Everyone and take back our so called Democracy, Hypocrisy!!!!

Look how they disregard their own children and if in the USA do you think that they would care for the US children, hell no. Getting to the border shouting foreign languages at the authorities doesn't help either. Time to go away and rethink their own attitude to making a life for themselves from where they come from originally

The whole world knows the truth about non-assimilating Indian behavior. Either this reporter doesn't know it or she is in perpetual denial. At my son's school during the drop-off rush in the morning, Indian parents would always, I mean literally always, as in everyday, they would stop in the middle of the street so that the wife can help their child get off their car, all while blocking traffic. In doing so, their child will not be late, but making all the other cars' children behind them late. I witness this first hand, everyday. It's like they had an exclusive Indian meeting, all agreeing to do this during the drop-off rush. It's so annoying. If we honk at them for doing this, they would cause a scene and would call us rude and racist. When all they have to do is simply follow traffic rules and regulations so that all parents can smoothly drop off their kids on time.
