The only part of the speech I disagree with is the part about Donald being smart ?

Canada the good people here in America do not want this either because we don’t have a billion dollars to work with and truthfully I wouldn’t want it then either! We got Billionaires that want to act like two year olds here and worse yet they have been spoiled there whole lives and they claim to have never been wrong! We will do our part and would like to ask you to do everything possible to hurt the economy so we can turn the vote around and put them republicans in the protest against these criminals running our government! We will win together I am already seeing cracks in their front! We are with you Canada ?? signed old man from Ohio that has a brain and a heart!

CNN is part of the problem. Bowing down to the #Dumbazzrump

Trudeau you ordered martial law against peaceful Canadians and you took truck drivers licenses away for life and find them $100,000 and threw them in jail for those that were part of the freedom convoy do not talk about every Canadian. You should keep your mouth. Can we vote to be part of the US 51 state, because after being beat up by my Canadian government the US isn't looking that bad at all.

Best part about this, is Trump cannot shut them up or sue them. He wants to tell the rest of the world how it is. The rest of the world does NOT have to listen. This will hurt USA.

the Russian backed treasonous *Confederate*/MAGA have infiltrated EVERY part of our government.\n*what more proof do you need*

As an Australian, part of the commonwealth i not only stand and support Canada ?? but i also stand and support Ukraine ??

There are a few thousand american military bases around the world. Once you end alliances, they are gone. USAs is gonna have a bad time deploying their troops anywhere outside florida. Its a logistical question. Aint no friends around to solve it either apart from russia. Im just gonna say it America is Russia. Lets put it even better Russia owns america. America is trump wearing a latex harness, and putin is leading him towards the bed to get pissed on by russian prostitutes. ( I love russian prostitutes myself, but they should not be part of politics is all im saying)

Thanks for speaking the truth!! The United States is no longer and allie to Democratic Europe and Canada. The United States has aligned with Russa and is now part of the Axis of Evil.

I hope that Europe UK Australia Canada and the rest of the free world does whatever it takes to counter Russia and West Russia (Previously known as USA) and I'm entirely sure that even tho UK is biggest US ally both UK and Australia will support Canada as it is part of the common wealth

Part of the problem is Trump's memory going byebye.

Lets be clear, we are were we are today because of our governments and the absence of polices. Trump simply wants the drug crime and human trafficking to stop. Our government response is to apply tariff's on Americans goods and services. There ego's are more important then Canadians lives. The libs, ndp and dem's are all part of the problem. WAKE UP

A recent survey in Canada revealed that some 27% of Canadians now regard the US as a hostile power. I'm part of that 27%......

Canadian here too. Thank most of you americans for this outpouring of support, and seems many from both sides of the aisle. \n\nFor my part? I do believe you have a russian asset as president now. Even the freaking Russians just came out and said US policy is now aligning with Russias own. Hes abandoning an ally in Ukraine unless Ukraine gives an unconditional surrender to a guy who says he is not interested in any deals, and broke his OWN TRADE AGREEMENT stopping just short of actual war with Canada and Mexico. Our own PM as you hear, says Trumps goal is to destroy our economy and annex this country. \n\nYou have a russian asset in the seat folks. \n\nDo something about it.

On behalf of the people who voted for Kamala, please accept our apology. This is the height of stupidity on the part of the Trump crime family.

I think the US should become part of Canada.

Cars, parts, food etc are not manufactured in Canada for the cheaper labor - it is just as expensive there. Making some things there was just more efficient, and therefore a good business decision, and then there are the resources they provide to the USA, the oil alone is responsible for the trade deficit. Dump is just wrong here, but he has no contrary advisors, only bobbleheads who nod in agreement.

? this is part of the make simpleton’s land great again initiative. The whole world should leave Americans on their own! See how they survive.

Trump is just a blowhard bully who thinks he’s cool because he’s surrounded himself with the richest people in the world. \n\nHe’s like the nerdy kid in a high school movie who thinks he’s cool because he let the jocks use his house for a party when his parents are away. Except, he doesn’t know that the “cool kids” are going to take advantage of him, raid the liquor cabinet, leave him with the bill for the pizza, and leave the house trashed before they walk away laughing about it. Then mom and dad are going to return with the house in tatters and the kid with Sharpie on his face.\n\nOf course, in reality, Trump is probably pocketing a few million/billion dollars so he and his family can leave the country when it’s all said and done. Trump and his Billionaire Buddies have no desire to make America “great again,” they just want to squeeze the country for every last dollar and leave to another part of the world.

Please, make America part of Canada.

They cut out the part where Trudeau talked about trump wanting to annex canada ?

I'm so tired of these CNN people who show the speech but then tell us what they just said. Why don't you let us hear the q&a part of Trudeau's presser?

Donald Trump does not have to be responsible for what he is doing. He will be out in 4 years and will not have to deal with the consequences of his actions. This is part of the larger Project 2025, again, Trump lied about this to the people that elected him and he will not have to suffer any consequences for what he will do. America has become a pariah nation and will remain that way as other nations regroup.

many people don't believe it but this is the start of America's downfall. I'm an American myself but I know how to call a spade a spade . And just like the great empires Thur out the world's history have fallen America will fall. The sad part is that the American people fell for the scam and did this .

I am really sad to see Canada slide. The USA is loaded with 20th Century industrial equipment that still works. Industry really is important to countries with plenty of resources, as Americans are finally realizing.\nToo bad that Canadian agriculture is such a small part of its economy. In the center of the USA, I always look for produce from Canada over any other place, including the States. Their products are simply the best.

Canada should become part of India and become a Super Power! \nLot of Indians want to move to Canada, so it is the perfect decision. ???

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.

That’s an easy cop out . Second of all, no part of Israel belongs to Arabs . Israel gave them the Gaza Strip in a deal to try an produce peace .

All I can say,is that as an American we are doing our part to make the US a terrible place to live. Would not recommend, not worth the better job opportunity or relatively cheaper house.

So, in what areas is Australia different to Canada?\nAnd, can someone please explain to me the determinant nature of any person in moving the dial on GDP. I get the part of GDP per person; I don’t get the part about an individual. It seems to me that organisations and bureaucracies are the key drivers of efficiency and productivity. I’m not a economist, as demonstrated

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.

I'm glad you mentioned the emigration and brain drain part. I'm a 30 year old engineer and I'm tired of living in Canada, I don't even identify myself as culturally or politically canadian anymore. Here's to me hoping I move to the USA with my useless degree and start over my life.

Home ownership numbers are skewed, pretty sure anyone a part of a homeowner’s family living there is counted as a homeowner.

I’m part of that brain drain from Canada to the U.S. Having dual citizenship made that easy, and while I miss so many things about Vancouver, I was being totally squeezed between expensive housing and very poor income outlook. There were director level positions that were offering less than my mid level role; not a good look. Down south, I was able to jump income (not considering the exchange rate) 200% in two years, and I have far better career prospects. \n\nIt’s not great. I will always be a Canadian at heart.

Trudeau has been importing Indians in millions which is contributing to rent increase, housing unaffordability, wage stagnation, skyrocketing unemployment. Younger or high school students are finding it hard to find a part time job at local restaurants because all those jobs are occupied by Indians. I guess bring third world, become third world wasn’t so wrong after all.

High real estate prices have fueled hidden corruption by all levels of government. Until you try to build something you just can't imagine the fees and cost of regulation compliance. Since values keep rising there are more hands out demanding more by all levels of government. Another (sort of) related issue that has been ignored until recently has been Trudeau's reparations to First Nations. He has manipulated the courts and civil service to acquiesce to whatever is demanded. The province of BC just ceded sovereignty to an Island chain (Haida Gwaii) to an indigenous group that is against virtually any economic development. Northern Canada, as vast as is, is essentially blocked from new resource development. Every investment, including housing development, needs approval from, usually in the form of a payment to, an Indian Band. The level of corruption here is at South America levels.\n\nI think the unsaid part about excessive immigration levels the last few years was that was used to mask what the government was doing.

As someone living in Canada... I actually don't feel much of the things mentioned in the video. Sure, wages are not growing as fast as it can, but as someone who managed to purchase a home *before* the bubble started to expand, I'm living steady right now.\n\nWhat is REALLY causing a large part of the social and economic issues is actually the fact that provinces are NOT expanding new towns and cities in the millions of kilometers that needs to grow. Everyone is moving into cities, including refugees and new immigrants, which is driving up local prices and demand for everything. A few years ago, there were literally news of townships outside of the major cities offering houses and land for $50 per acre if people move to those towns and live there. \n\nCanada's biggest (heh) advantage is how much land it has. It's biggest weakness is how little comparative population it has. The worst problem is the concentration of population in like 6 keys cities throughout the entire country. If more people who complain about housing or social issues were willing to move outside of the major cities, they wouldn't have those problems.

As a Canadian this is all true! The worst part is Canadians are not talking about this and like a frog being boiled alive we won’t know we are dead till it’s too late.

What part of illegal do these folks not understand? If you want to come here, enter “legally.”

If you enter the US illegally, you are a criminal that broke a federal law. What part of that don't the libtards understand?

Fuck that, trust me when I say they haven’t got much to give to the US, just more mouths to feed when we can’t feed our own veterans on the street or give them a place to stay.\n\nSorry but sucks to be born in other parts of this world. That’s the reality of life and the quicker people understand that richer or better having people don’t owe anything to anyone for being born in a better place, the world would be a better place \n\nInstead of running from the problem why not grow balls and change your country

Poland has a no-nonsense approach to illegal Muslim migrants. AMAZING that Belarus has so many Muslims trying to invade Poland. Belarus has no Muslims, nor does it border a Muslim nation. But it does RUSSIA. Open your eyes. Putin is part of this to undermine NATO. Belarus does nothing to stop this. Hmm

As a student with a study permit and working part-time in a care home, am I eligible for this program?

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.

He is probably a student working part time to pay his tuition while studying. Some day he is gonna be at a higher position in the society while this racist mofo complains about the Indians having higher income them them.

part of the problem nis CNN helped welcome them

What part of, we dont want you here, dont u understand? Learn english!

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have not officially taken in large numbers of Palestinian refugees for several reasons, rooted in historical, political, and strategic considerations:\n\n1. Political and Historical Context\n\t•\tArab League Policy (1950s-1960s): Many Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, follow a long-standing policy of not granting full citizenship to Palestinian refugees to preserve their right to return to their homeland. The idea is to prevent the permanent resettlement of Palestinians outside of Palestine, which could weaken their claim to the land.\n\t•\tPrevious Palestinian Expulsions: Gulf countries have had tense relations with Palestinian leadership in the past. For example, Kuwait expelled around 400,000 Palestinians after the 1991 Gulf War because the PLO supported Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait.\n\n2. Citizenship and Integration Policies\n\t•\tGulf states have strict immigration and citizenship policies, even for other Arabs. They generally do not grant permanent residency or citizenship to foreigners, including Palestinians.\n\t•\tEven Palestinians already living in the Gulf (many of whom work there) typically hold Jordanian, Lebanese, or Egyptian travel documents rather than Gulf passports.\n\n3. Demographic and Economic Considerations\n\t•\tThe UAE and Saudi Arabia have large populations of migrant workers, mostly from South Asia and other Arab countries. Bringing in large numbers of Palestinian refugees could create social, economic, and political challenges.\n\t•\tThe Gulf states prefer to offer financial aid rather than resettlement, as seen in their donations to the Palestinian Authority and humanitarian aid for Gaza.\n\n4. Changing Political Alignments\n\t•\tSaudi Arabia and the UAE have been shifting toward normalization with Israel as part of broader geopolitical and economic strategies. Taking in large numbers of Palestinian refugees could strain these developing ties.\n\t•\tThe UAE was the first Gulf country to sign the Abraham Accords with Israel in 2020, and Saudi Arabia has been engaging in quiet diplomacy with Israel.\n\n5. Security Concerns\n\t•\tGulf states are cautious about allowing politically active or militant groups into their borders. Given the history of Palestinian militant movements, there may be concerns about internal security and potential destabilization.\n\nWhat Do They Offer Instead?\n\t•\tGulf countries provide financial aid to Palestinian causes and UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency).\n\t•\tSaudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar have invested in reconstruction projects in Gaza and the West Bank.
