As a white american, I speak for all americans when I say trump won. 4 more years! 4 more years! 4 more years!

I hope Canada And Mexico doesn't back down. Fucking hate Trump. Lies after Lies and guess what people defend him. Not My president people say. You voted for a dictator that lies through his fucking teeth, hes not going to change. Yall really thought him getting shot was the wake up call? That was his call for him being able to do no wrong, then they say oh you'd rather have Kamala? yes..... Yes I would..... look at our country idiots.... Not saying she would've been much better, but her team at least had common sense, trumps is a bunch of Rich sore losers who cant do nothing wrong.

As a Canadian may I say that Trudeau is sofa king stupid.

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

I wish they would stop saying US and use Trump instead , he is the sole culprit this disaster and all other chaos affecting America and the World.

What an idiot. He is making everything worse for Canada. And the nerve to bring up Putin and insinuating Trump is on his side. Then to put down the American people to say Your government is doing this. \nIf he were smart, he wouldnt have made a news conference till his temper calmed down. Then just plainly say we are making the same tarrifs to the US...which essentially is a wash. We dont need Canadas imports. The only reason we go to Canada for supplies is because of regulations, EPA , green deal and special interest groups. \nNow that is over we dont need them.\nCanada has refused secure their border for years.

Lol...former POTUS sitting back watching this dumpster fire saying see i told you. they are not speaking out because they want to let it burn only way the voters will see what they have done is to suffer at a macro level. why you are not hearing much form the other party.

Canada says America is dumb, so let us hear the reaction from America.

Riiiiight...Trump is dumb...says the man who has a 10% approval rating and may go down as the worst PM in Canadian history. He's genuinely one of the more incompetent world leaders we've seen in a long time....right there w FJB. These are dangerous men bc of their stupidity.

Is this a radical far left tv station,,,they are so anti Trump, anti Israel, pro palestinians protests on US universities, pro rights to criminal immigrants,,,,,,can I trust what they say ?

????says someone who took Canadians guns away, froze truckers bank accounts and towed their equipment and screw farmers while becoming millionaire,gtfo here?

He is out and has no power. It clearly doesn’t matter what he has to say for the US or Canada. His own people kicked him out.

It doesnt make sense.... Nothing with trump/elon does!!!! I am American and I am scared... !!!!!! To say I hate trump is an understatement..... I don't want to hate anyone, but trump gives me/us no choice...

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

The WSJ was correct in saying that this is a very dumb thing to do, but Trudeau was wrong when he said Chump is a very smart guy.

Can say anything on the way out the door...

I applaud you, Canada, and I am ashamed and embarrassed to say I live in America.

I'm sorry to say it, but the US is now regarded by us in Europe as a selfish dictatorship that only wants to create value for itself and other dictatorships. In the end, however, you will bitterly realize that you (the Trump administration) were wrong.

Did he say dump? Yes he is dump?

This time we will not say sorry!

2 hours ago — The S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent on Monday after President Trump doubled down on plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico .\n2 days ago — More than 885,000 crypto wallets have lost money on trading $TRUMP, while 301,000 have lost money in betting on $MELANIA\nFeb 17, 2025 — Trump Media says it lost more than $400 million last year while revenue dropped 12%. \nNov 23, 2022 — Donald Trump reported nearly $1 billion in operating losses over a two-year period about a decade ago. . . . and the list goes on

This is what trumpets voted for because Biden was so damn horrible...? I hope they remember that when they all are going even more broke and their voices aren't heard anymore by a narcissist.. I say it's exactly what Americans need to learn from the pain.. so we can look past these parties and move forward.

Can I say I am not a huge fan of Trudeau, but I take my hat off and say bravo for this speech. Calling Putin a 'lying, murderous dictator' is absolutely correct. In recent days all Trump's YES people when asked direct simply questions like 'Was Russia and Putin responsible for the invasion of Ukraine', simply can't bring themselves to answer anymore. We talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome, well all these Trump ring kissers are suddenly suffering from Putin Infatuation Disorder, one of the key symptoms being an inability to criticise or apportion wrong doing or blame on Putin. Bravo again Trudeau for being blunt, honest and direct, this orange ape needs to go.

Well said. Most Americans don't want this, according to what they're saying online. Thank you, Justin for spelling it out for those who are not as informed.

this might not be a good time to say this, but I totally think that girl kinda looks like amber herd

This woman is disgusting I can't even watch her Mexico family she is turning you she's saying it like she so proud You think that the border is just a problem what about Medicaid

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

Honestly, the way of saying that one people is more productive then the other is such an extreme oversimplification. I know this is a general term used by economists, but I can’t see the benefit. It is divisive and I feel like it would be more beneficial and interesting to just dive into each countries finacial strategy. \n\nP.S. Love the content, english is not my first language and no personal stake in the argument since according to the simplification I am apart of one of the most productive populations of the planet.(Norway)

this is what fascists do. Usha Vance supports it ? she doesnot say anything about the mistreatment of Indians ? What says this about westernised Indians ?

As Trump always says, CNN is fake news?.

problem with the graph at 7:14 says 0.01 instead of 0.1 on y axis

As a Canadian, I am more afraid of the people than their healthcare system. And I am chronically ill and would be homeless in America. You seem pretty cool, but living in a place where children have to train for school shootings. I heard they cant even wear light up shoes for their own saftey. Just their hate of immigrants and people in general. Its not the first time that I have heard an American say they want to shoot down all the aliens. Also, wtf! We know you live in America. You dont need to have a flag every 2 meters. ????? even on your clothes. We get it! You're American! I feel like you guys get super offended by everything.

Let's not forget that the US simply has more capital to put into its industries. A LOT more.\nI could also say they can spend an infinite amount of money on anything - as they can print USD and the whole world pays the price - a loophole Canada just doesn't have.

Did you go out of your way to say it has nothing to do with laziness because of my joke comment 2 years ago on the Canadian video ?

Because the USD is the world reserve currency, money flows into the US. And this unparalleled slush fund is then used to fund venture capital which, then, leads to more innovation in a virtuous circle. The Cdn$ is not a reserve currency, however. Uninformed or wilfully ignorant US politicians point to the US deficit as some kind of problem when, in reality, it represents how the US exports its problems onto the rest of the world that uses the US dollar as an exchange mechanism. If the US dollar loses its exchange value for other countries then the US will be faced with the same issues as other western countries--such as Canada. This isn't to exonerate the failures of both Liberal and Conservative Canadian governments over the past 20 years. More to say that productivity is lower in Canada than the US because Canada's currency isn't the international mechanism of exchange . . .

As a Canadian from one of the best educational programs in the country, that produces the countries smartest engineers, and CS grads. I can say most of my friends plan to leave Canada in the long term or after Graduation.

CANADA MUST develop those more REMOTE areas of the nation. Its population is essentially present in an area that resembles the shape of Chile, leaving the majority of the nation extremely underdeveloped. These infrastructure issues are the kinds of things you hear about when discussing the DRC etc. Whatever one may say about the huge problems with Russia's infrastructure, AT LEAST they have developed those more remote areas and have settled population centers in some of the most difficult climatic environments on Earth

Reporters are like some NPCs. Palestinian world land is in apocalypse and its obvious to everyone who did it. Yet they ask questions that sound and are as stupid as someone who is programmed in a video game to say something regardless of circumstances.

@EconomicsExplained just a small correction at 07:12 investment to capital ratio should say 0.10 NOT 0.01* :) love the vids keep it up.

It has problems though Canada seems overall a much nicer country than America.\n\nI think after say you reach a gdp of 30k per capita, maybe more gdp per capita alone doesn't improve your quality of life that much.\n\nThings like low crime, social services, etc seem to be much more important.

This video and these comments are so shocking and depressing. 10 years ago, people still widely praised and raved about Canada and it was a leading country in healthcare and standard of living. Now people are saying the complete opposite and saying it's in a terrible state. I know countries have their downfall at some point, but Canada, of all places, having a really horrendous \n economical crisis is so hard to grasp.

?she is so sad, I know her family is devastated of what she is saying ??‍♀️

I just about moved to the states and I'm overjoyed that those plans fell through. Right now I'm in hospital having my kidney removed. When i leave the hospital I will owe not one red cent. Could I say that in the states even with health insurance.

Well answered,he said it as it should be,…would you leave your home because someone is trying to occupy it or do you try and fight to remain in it??some people are just so narrow minded,all three religions lived peacefully before these Zionist started to form,Islam never mentions of hurting or killing the neighbour but instead in preaches of helping and supporting them,Jewish people are been misguided by these Zionist ideas,saying Muslims want to kill all Jews?absolutely false statements they are making.

I'd just stand there and say I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING lolo

Don’t get me started about Canada healthcare. It is worse than a third world country. I lived in this country for over 25 years and I wish I could say something good about our healthcare system.

I must say that this delivery guy is very patient ..I would have been loud as nobody should hear all this nonsense

As a Canadian I can say most of us despise those illegal immigrants, we also hate our dumb softie Liberal government for doing barely nothing, almost even encouraging this and as a result crime rate is goin up in Montreal and other big cities up here. ???

Both Sides Claim to be Advancing in Kursk.\nMap Says nothing is moving xD

Why does the World see King Salman as a Puppet of America and Israel?? Saudi's say they are the leaders of Muslims but they have the Power to STOP the GENOCIDE against Palestinians by Stopping Using Dollars that will Pressure Israel to Stop the War in 1 day. But King Salman is just a Dog or a Puppet as the World sees it
