As a New Zealander I am very proud of when we stood up to the US over using our waters to transport nuclear weapons. I think Canadians should feel the same pride that your standing up now. Don't let them bully you just because of there power, Canada has many true allies all over the world.

?? This has nothing to do with borders. This is simply a war using money instead of weapons making all citizens on both sides poorer. This a question of power, of dominance not borders.

The single most significant threat to world peace, stability and prosperity is the American voter.\n\nIf I was to advise the Canadian government, I would cancel all current and future contracts with American defense Corporations and sell off all American-made military hardware from Canadian stocks and re-equip with European military hardware and South Korean Tanks. Canada could make excellent use of the Saab Gripen.

EVERY MEXICAN POLITICIAN HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CARTELS!\nTRUMP is trying to use TERRORISM to get other countries to do what AMERICA CAN'T,,,,,,,,HOLD THEIR OWN CITIZENS (Americans) to the rule of law. Why doesn't AMERICA stop the USE OF DRUGS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Because they can't, they cannot control their own people.

No that isn't why Trump has moved on tariffs. He has imperialist ambitions. He wishes to use economic power to make Canada part of the USA.

I'd BAN Tesla, not raise the tariffs on them, just flat out ban them! I'd also ban Twitter/X. I mean, the right use Twitter to attack the Canadian left so banning Twitter would be a two-fer!

Tariffs can be a useful tool but it shouldn't be the only tool. For this US president it's like his only tool. Applying tariffs to everything is like trying to use a hammer to fix everything. It will just end up hurting ordinary people ?

I live in Denmark. American products are a no-go for me. Still have to use Meta, like Google and YouTube though. I will search for alternatives.

As an American, I didn't vote for this clown. What Trump is doing right now is showing the world that the US\nis getting weaker and is in decline. He is using his bullying politics with Tariffs that are harming his Ally\nin Canada and Mexico. This will backfire. Both Canada and Mexico can join BRICS, and flip the US the finger.\nWhy? BRICS is cheaper and more profitable. The US dollar is worth less now and is declining as we speak.\nThis is a sign of weakness and desperate measures.

Meanwhile, tons of drugs cross into Canada from the U.S. and practically all the illegal guns used in crime.

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

He used word 'Not to punish us' that means they did wrong

Voters also wanted a bipartisan immigration bill, but Trump and the Republicans stopped it so he could use the issue to his advantage in the campaign. That’s how much Trump and the Republicans care about the border problem. I will never vote Republican again,

Canada and Mexico should negotiate a free trade agreement with China and use Chinese Yuan as exchange currency

What Trump said about Canada leaching on US economically and militarily is true..so why don't Canada rulers face it and fix the house from inside instead of, using the dispute as an election leverage ? How far their hypocrisy and opportunist minds can go ????

Wow - this makes me sick - bunch of entitled ass-wipes - and don’t come back at me - I’ve known hunger and poverty. Venezuelan people are hated in most of Mexico, Central and South America. They come from a communist country and they are used to getting free everything. They cross 7 countries to shop for the best country with the best benefits near them hence the U.S. Biden messed the U.S. big time by giving them each thousands each in an EBT card to buy their own food cuz they complained about the free food we provided and therefore they were given the money cards and free luxury hotels for housing, free medical, etc. So their people contacted their people over there that we give free luxury 5 star hotel living and money cards over here, open border, etc. We had some at my apt. complex - broken glass in the pool, loud music way past midnight cuz they didn’t have to work -went on for about three years till they were finally evicted. Rudest people i’ve ever met. SMH

Trump is a terrible business man facts period. He's using tariffs against Canada and Mexico. We loose

If Trump wants to stop the use of Fentanyl by Americans, maybe he needs to educate the American people of the dangers of Fentanyl and punish Big Pharma and Doctors for prescribing these addictive drugs to patients. Tariffs would NOT solve the problem.

Hope you like using your own military Canada.

Lol only 1% of illegal border crossing into the US come from Canada. Look iir up. He only used that as his excuse to appeal to the racist rednecks who voted him in.

Someone people came to find freedom, they used to sleep in their brothers and sisters shedded blood so being here become a place of test and freedom bless American for being so kind and a shelter for those in need!!

Indians are using fake college credentials. Great scammer

It’s not about them being fit to serve CNN lies it is about about using federal funds to transition. When your active duty your health insurance is covered. So the cost of active duty members transition comes out is federal funds.

Sounds great to me!\nThat's why we elected him.\nStart with the Mauritanians.......those people have no concept of hygiene, much less even know how to use flush toilet.

So, if in the right-wing playbook. This person is a man in womans cloths then what is their problem. In reality, you don't need a penis to press the trigger on a gun. you use a finger...

Follow the Law and enter with legal Dokumentations to countries that are open for immigration. If you are seeking to enter as a refugee, use those correct documents. \nAlso best if Muslims go to other Muslim nations, and Christians to Christian Nations, as it is hard enough to relocate into foreign nations and their cultures! God bless you!

How about the many Kenyans who reside in Seattle but when coming to visit relatives they land in Uganda and then use the road into Kenya what could be the reason?? Could it be it's cheaper to use flights that destination is Uganda??

Dear Mr. Donald J. Trump, \n\nThe Egyptian people, in all their diversity, reject your crazy ideas that you put forward recklessly without awareness of their catastrophic impact about the displacement of the Palestinian people off their land. If you think that the Egyptian people can be led behind your unwise lead like those of the Gulf states, then you are mistaken and should reconsider your calculations. We are a people of principle and belief, ready to defend our borders and our homeland to the last of us.\n\nHere's the news; by your strange ideas, you were able to unite the Egyptian people altogether behind their leadership in rejecting the displacement plan of the Palestinian people – our brothers – out of their land. \n\nIn this same context, we would like to convey to you a counter proposal: It is rather the displacement of the Israelis to the United Sates of America; you have huge, underutilized spaces amongst the vast stretches of land of the US, and the Israelis can be very useful to you in all aspects. \n\nWe promise you, if you do this, everyone will be more than happy, and the US economy won’t have to continue its bleeding as it won’t have to continue supporting and arming Israel with all these huge amount of money through the unfortunate American taxpayers’ money anymore.\n\nThink it over, dear Trump.

WOW AND WHY JUST BIGGER INCOME PRETTY MUCH BECAUSE MOST THOSE INDIVIDUALS DON'T GIVE A RATS A ABOUT ANY OF US FRANKLY BUT THEY'D USE THE LAST BREATH YOU'D GIVE M

Time to use the portable cattle prods.?

They might hv to use force against force

The USA is a country of crazies. There is surely a mental disease epidemic happening there. Imagine this crap even mentioned in a mature country like Russia or China. God surely gave them over to deprived mind. I used to admire America in all my life, but in the past 20 years it has changed and for me, the USA is now synonymous to leprosy.

I'm sorry that you were lied to by Democrats who were planning on using you for votes. They are criminals, and your entry without permission is illegal. \n\nThey don't care about you. They ONLY want to use you so they can stay in power. However, their desire isn't to keep America the beautiful place it was created to be. They reject the Lord who inspired our FOUNDING FATHERS, and they want America to become a godless nation. \n\nWork on your own nations and build them into righteous communities that serve the Lord. This is the path to true prosperity and true wealth. \n\nYou DO NOT want to live in an America run by DEMOCRATS who owned slaves. You do NOT want to live in a godless nation, or a godless world!

Get rid of the bridge, start doing as Romania and use deadly force. Peoplr will stop acting as fools real quick

They used to bring them to America against their will, as slaves. Now they want them back to Africa. Ironic world.

It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

Looks like when you do what Poland is doing.... hitting people with water or bullets. Pauline has cleared their soldiers to use any means.\n To stop people from crossing.

We're going to see a lot of incompetent people get into a panic now as they realize they will struggle to get work now they can't use their skin color or sexuality as their only skill and qualification.

Canadas military have 82 griffon helicopters, why not use them to patrol the border?

And I'm sure with some people coming across the border. There may be a sense of entitlement, but I would think for the majority, it's a sense of hope.\n I wish we could embrace every person. That is good coming across that border with open arms and tell them Hey, it's gonna be all right. It's gonna be okay for you and your family. But unfortunately we can't. It's a hard pill to swallow and it's a final thing to watch. People have to struggle that world is a very cruel place for some. And for others it could be very easy in a sense. I think sometimes we have to have empathy for other people. And if we don't have that we're never gonna grow as a human race. Color should never, ever be a barrier. Language should never be a barrier. The only barrier that we have is hatred and just evil people and good. That is, the barrier that we should be looking at if we ever want to grow into what God created us to be eyes need to be opened. These people aren't coming over here and take what we have. You're coming over here because they want something better for their lives. They have struggled most other lives. I'm sure they have seen death. Famine pestilence, things that we have never seen in this country. Our generation.\n S are spoiled when it comes to things like that. We have to open our eyes a little further broaden. Our horizons and take a look at the situation at hand and not be objective. Be like the men of old and what they were put on this Earth to do is solve problems. That's what men are good for solving problems. And that's what the men of this manner should solve the problems. Use your heads think we can find a solution.

If we don't start using force, more so forcing Mexico to stop this, this will never stop

Use ☠️Force!! Protect our Borders…We don’t need another Riley Laken grieving family!

It used to be amazing how qualified you became when you identified as transgender?

Legally it's called an illegal invasion, and we are allowed even as citizens to stop it by using our second amendment rights!?

Home countries should see forced deportations as blessings! Your citizens return with education and job skills! Make use of them to build up their countries! America 's freebies spoiled them and they will make better lives for the countries!

Cnn is weird. Why you use feminine pronouns when referring to a person who has xy chromosomes?

WTF did this term irregular come from? Maybe we could use the correct term, “Illegal.”

Are people with psychological issues allowed to use weapons?

It sounds like this video is referring to people fleeing oppressive or difficult conditions in their home countries rather than staying and fighting back. If you’re talking about Venezuela and Hugo Chávez’s legacy, there are a few reasons why people might choose to leave rather than resist:\n\t1.\tGovernment Repression – The Venezuelan government, under both Chávez and his successor Nicolás Maduro, has cracked down on opposition, jailing political opponents, suppressing protests, and using the military to maintain control.\n\t2.\tLack of Resources – Many people in Venezuela are struggling just to survive due to hyperinflation, food shortages, and a collapsing economy. When basic necessities are scarce, organizing resistance becomes incredibly difficult.\n\t3.\tFear for Safety – Speaking out against the government or organizing opposition can lead to imprisonment, torture, or even death. Many people, especially those with families, may feel that fleeing is the only safe option.\n\t4.\tCorruption and Military Loyalty – The government has secured its hold by ensuring loyalty from the military and key institutions through financial incentives and control over resources. This makes any organized resistance much harder.\n\t5.\tHope for a Better Future – Many people feel they have a better chance at a stable, prosperous life by leaving rather than staying in a country where the political situation seems unlikely to change soon.\n\nFighting a government isn’t as simple as just deciding to resist—especially when the government has control over the police, military, and economy. For many, leaving is the only realistic option.

The streets are peaceful and quiet; the way it should be. Everyone is used to overcrowding and chaos.
