As an American, I'm not sure why Trump is doing this. I can see with Mexico there is a big problem but with Canada I just don't see it. I think Trump may have bit off a little bit more than he can chew.

Trudeau a little b itch. Trump did us a favour gettin him and eventually the pos liberals out of office. Keep it up Mr president ❤

Only a little over 50% of us. I stand with Canada!

Of course you don’t want this y’all want to continue to be carried. We don’t mind carrying you guys that’s how benevolent we are, we just want you guys to help out a little but I guess that’s too much to ask.

It would be a lot more fitting if this baby were to actually be drinking from a bottle while he got on TV and whined??? wait maybe the reason he says what he says is that he's been hitting that bottle a little bit too much lately??? we call it the Nancy pelosi affect here in America

Why Ukraine plays with people's lives over a little bit of a mineral deal is pathetic.

This is starting to get a little out of hand here , you know something is wrong when Canada wants to have a stern conversation with you. ??‍♂️?

Trump is an ass it is about time that Canadian politicians finally stand up to Orange little hands

ELBOWS UP CANADA!\nBUY Canadian....... Hell I will buy anything from China before I buy anything American.\nTrump is gonna ruin your country and push you into a lonely little corner \n

Donny is a little angry boy inside as never received approval from his parents as a kid. Thanks to donny, when I visit other country, I tell being Canadian. Helps never received angry look from people of visiting countries. :D

What a little corrupt cry baby Americans don't care

We KNOW you don't want this!! WE don't want this!! It's going to take a little time, but FRUMP is not long for this fiasco. He has underestimated the resolve of the American people. The Republican party is also distancing itself from this maniacal wanna-be dictator??

Well, now they will demand the apologies from Trudeau, just like little children. Trudeau has balls of steel.

Trump will eat that little fruitcake for breakfast. lol

Much Love from New York! \n\ntRump Is not only Presidential material. He honestly belongs in a cycle board. Something ain’t adding up in that little tiny brain of his

Little Justin is going to lose big....

As an American, I'm disgusted with these tariffs. Trump is definitely doing the WRONG thing here. We should be working with Canada and Mexico, not against them. It seems like Trump wants to be Putin's little Bitch.

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book. You can’t change that note They will be talking about economy classes. They gonna be talking about this history classes they gonna be talking about Trump and JD Vance and this administration has the worst administration modern day America even in the past the worst thing that’s gonna happen is all of these guys who find himself alienated when they die. They will find himself alienated. Their kids will find himself alienated of their existence. The only way their kids is gonna escape that they have a daughters The only way you gonna escape that as a man who is back in this administration is to have daughters that could change their fucking name other than that any mail that is from these despicable despicable if you watch the movie, the despicable, even the guy that was the biggest biggest most craziest most narcissistic, OK we talk about the dude with all the minions minions. He even had a common sense and had a understanding and had a heart this administration talk about Biden talk about bull talk about Obb like they did something different. They didn’t do something different Obama Bush and NN and Biden did way better this administration they tagged the republican party for years to come. I hope you remember that no one in their mind will vote for Republican for years to come. I guarantee that, you let me give you 50 cash OK you don’t got businesses I could hop in and out of this country on a private plane or even take first class you guys are stuck here. Don’t talk to me about shit now because I got currency different countries, bro so when I’m talking to you, I’m talking to you low life concept of a plan. I ain’t talking to the plan. The plan is for the rich. I got money. I qualify for what he’s giving mequalify for what he’s giving me. Your ad administration is giving me I qualify but but what about you guys?

I really make money you guys don’t your tax return is below 50,000 you guys gonna be in trouble? Good luck I stand with Canada.

Trudeau makes Trump look like a spoiled little child. Trudeau looks really strong here. Trump looks looks like a joke.

Canada's only got a 63,000 soldiers that isn't enough to protect Maryland let alone Canada we get billions of dollars to protect a foreign country and never asked anything in return Donald Trump ask Canada to help secure the border on Canada side and they are complaining throwing a hissy fit it would be one thing if Canada was providing for itself without the United States. And refused to do such a small little task. \n\nBut when we are giving billions of dollars to Canada's defense and they throw such a hissy fit over a little bitty test it's time to stop all trade with them. \n\nThe armed citizens of the United States to invade Canada, I mean think about it. 63.000 soldiers is all that's protecting Canada \n\nIt would be absolutely nothing for the US citizens to take Canada less than 1% of the firearms in the United States

Now that's a leader! Canada hold strong. Don't bend to that orange moron. I know Canada won't be threatened. Trump thinks if you're decent and polite, you're weak. He will soon find out that he is very mistaken. Pathetic little bullies are historically weak. Your government does not want this but will not be pushed around. Trump is doing this to his own people. Hold tight and let the intelligent Americans rise up. Ireland stands with Canada.

As a Canadian, I share the opinion of about 80% of our country. Trudeau is a clown, and after 10 years of him destroying our country, we can't wait for him to be gone. The stuff he is saying about the flow of drugs is not accurate. Just like everything he does, the moves he has made to fight the drug trade are just theatre, with very little results. I don't like Trump, but he is correct about the drug issues we have up here.

Trudeau is a Pure Little Boy Dictator. FJB and Bidenomics and the Democratic Cult. Thank you President Trump ?????.

It's worth noting that Trudeau did not say that Trump was smart, he was citing the Wall Street Journal. I'd bet that Trudeau's estimation is a little more restrained.

As a Canadian, I got to admit I'm more than a little bit worried that Trump wants to rename us Poland.........\nUgh

Canada you need MAGA. Get rid of these globalist little pricks .

Fidel Trudeau?? resigned cuz of Trump???. We dont even want him in Canada? hi poll numbers are dreadful?. So DJT shouldnt even care about little dictator.

Maybe everything we’ve been told in the west has been a lie . FU little Castro.

I support Trump on the minerals deal but I believe the other NATO nations should also compensate the USA since we provide the weaponry necessary for Ukraine to survive. It helps even out the alliance a little.

Thats President Donald J Trump to you little Justine the feminist. You will never be the MAN TRUMP IS. AMERICA 1ST. CANADIANS WANT YOU GONE JUSTINE.

To bad trudeau wasn't this smart for the past 9 years ?‍♂️ little late on the draw there bud !

Why does he continue to provoke the US president? He resigned and rather step down with dignity, he chooses cause as much damage before he leaves. Justin Trudeau bears full responsibility for the burdens Canadians now face. He imposed and continually increased the carbon tax, draining the pockets of hardworking citizens while offering little in return. He neglected Canada’s NATO commitments, failing to uphold our obligations on the world stage. His tenure has been marred by repeated ethical scandals, each one a testament to his disregard for integrity in leadership. \n\nNow, as the weight of his missteps comes full circle, he faces the consequences of his own policies. The economic strain he placed on his own people is now mirrored in the tariffs and pressures from the United States—a reckoning of his own making. And even in his resignation, rather than stepping aside with dignity, he continues to provoke President Trump with baseless rhetoric, further endangering Canada’s relationship with its greatest ally. \n\nTrudeau’s legacy will not be one of progress, but of division, economic hardship, and lost opportunities. And now, he reaps what he has sown.

Awww...look, the poor little commie Trudeau is scared. ?

That little dictator is practically out of office

This guy is acting like there is a war lol it's just a little tariff keep your chin up bucko you are leaving in a few anyways your country wants you out ?

I'd keep an eye on the EU flag, me thinks there might be a little red leaf added soon Eh! Sorry

Hold strong Canada, this will end badly for little donny.

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

It’s not America, it’s Trump and his stooges like Lindsay Graham, Musk, Hegseth and little Marco.

Maybe a little rough right now, but it’ll all work out and have a major benefit for Americans. Us first, everyone else last.

Lol\nI love that Trudeau has to call Trump smart but this particular action stupid.\nIn the meantime, he knows just as well as everybody that Trump is an idiot. Little Donald isn‘t smart, Little Donald is a moron.

ive said this before but i doubt you read it: dont call people 'mate'; its perceived as overly familiar. trust me, i did 11 years with the world's most demanding customers and it doesnt play. your channel has terrific value and i think you will grow it a little if you remove that one word which is turning people off

As a Canadian who is determined to thrive in whatever environment I am in, I can say becoming a carpenter has been a pretty good decision. Wages are up and I am in demand. My home is paid off and I am 39. I live in cottage country in a great little village with a beautiful wife and 3 beautiful daughters. I have traveled enough to know that I have a good thing going here. As a capable and adaptable human being, I will do well not matter where I am though.

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.

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.

Only in gurudwara kirpans should be allowed. Because in public place if any little issues happened then you could try to harm by outrage not purposely. They should understand this....

Because our Government here was in Lockstep with Biden soon this filthy liberal regime will be gone just a little behind the U.S

A little too late lmao

I love that little anger ??

For many years, Canada did little. Trudeau counseled 'compassion'. Donald Trump made Canada do something, and Turdeau whined.
