President Trump is not going to listen to you if you are not stopping the flow of fentanyl coming into the US. President Trump doesn't play games with business so you Mr. PM Trudeau are not doing what President Trump asked you to do. The fentanyl flowing in from Canada is hurting American people and it's unacceptable to President Trump. If Trudeau wants to work with Americans he has to stop lying and do what President Trump asked him to do.

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.

From real Americans we are sorry Trump doesn’t represent the real America

Trudeau, just by being Trudeau, is waving the red flag in front of the bull. So why in hell doesn’t he just go home and shut up. Most Canadians feel he doesn’t speak for them as we are living with the destruction of our economy, our military, and everything in between.

Always interesting that Trump doesn't spend a second to fight the abuse of drugs like phentanol.\nAs far as I know, no one is forced by Canadians to consume this shit.\n\nBut then they would have to admit that the problem lies with the users and therefore with American society.

No it doesn't make sense ??

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.

Donald Trump did said it during his campaign that he doesn’t care about American People, that all he cares about is their Vote. That’s it. But all this Bozos refused to Listen!!! And he’s now doing exactly what he means. Don’t worry bozos, Yo all ain’t seen nothing Yet!!! Da worst of da worst is still on the way?

He doesn't get it does he? Canada needs election. So does Ukraine.

I thought dude was out of office... doesn't he leave on March 9th?

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.

Doesn’t bother me, I don’t by shit from Canada anyway !!

Donnie Wadd Trump is always talking about the open borders so why doesn't Canada do him a favour and permanently close the Alaska Highway?

Doesn't anyone's microphones work properly any more at 6:00? Bernie Sanders one was unlistenable.

To make it make sense, you have to realize Trump is a lying wannabe dictator that is willing to do anything to make it happen. Give it a month or two and see if he doesn't declare Martial Law because of American protestors.

D.TRUMP is Putin's puppet. He doesn't MAGA he makes the USA an isolated country ...

It's doesn't matter if we're not mad at American citizens. We shouldn't be looking at Americans as friends anymore. This is not the first time America's tried to take Can and it won't be the last. Americans are not trust worth long term allies. They fk'd over so many countries and there gov only gives a fk about itself.

Oh no trump doesn’t like facts……

Bro just say he doesn’t know what he’s doing and he’s breaking america to satisfy his obligations to Russia. JUST CALL IT OUT

Donald doesn't even know how to speak like this. He's an embarrassment. Mr. PM Trudeau, we didn't ask for this either.

You really should make a video about why in all these countries, new housing developments outside cities (or new cities altogether) doesn't solve the issue. The market should self-correct somehow!

One thing I'm always curious about is why do we use GDP Per Capita to see how well a nation is doing? It doesn't directly measure the standard of life and economic power that the residents of a nation have. Why not use Purchasing Power as this shows exactly how far someones dollar can actually go

Yeah being born there doesn’t give that Canadian to abuse someone \nKudos to Indian guy

In Japan buildings depreciate in value, like cars, so the house I built last year is worth less this year (and my taxes on it are less). When I first got here I thought it was a horrible system, but now I see what a powerful benefit it is. Housing is quite affordable and there are lots of mixed neighborhoods, like mine, with million-dollar homes, small multi-units, and fewer gated communities. We suffer from a blight of abandoned buildings because at a certain point it just doesn't make economic sense to fix up an old (often cheaply made) home. But because home ownership is a luxury, like a fancy car, not a necessary means to accrue wealth, mortgages and rents are low and there's cheap (and small, so very very small) housing everywhere.

Canada has so much red tape its unbeleivable. I am trying to build a house right now and licences, permits, reports etc is taking MONTHS and THOUSANDS of dollars. Its like if every level of gouvernement doesn't want our money and investment. They want to be bigger and even slower instead of lean and fast

This video is horrible. I don't know what political angle is, but the real problems are very well known and have nothing to do with what you said. First, housing is incredibly difficult to build in Canada because of regulations and land title problems, I.e., you don't own that land, the indians do. On top of that, there is a constant influx of immigrant that require housing that doesn't exist. Children cry because they cannot leave their parents' houses because they can't move anywhere, so they can't find any jobs locally, and they're trapped. There is no will in the canadian government to change these immigration policies, to change the land rules so that people can own land and build houses, or do anything about their incredibly micro managed economy that makes it impossible to do anything. If so, yeah, they go to the US to have a future while Canada stagnants and dies.

Why not use news headlines from our own country? Why open with a joke about canada being the 51st state? if you wanted 40 million people to automatically think you're a jackass who doesn't understand what hes talking about you sure dumbfucked your way right into it.

I don't understand the comparison of housing debt to GDP ratio being relevant, other than as some kind of made up benchmark. GDP is an annual number, and mortgages last for decades. How is comparing these numbers directly a measure of anything other than the amount of money invested in mortgages has increased? I would think Household income to Household debt is a more useful measure, but then again, it doesn't capture the amount of capital people have in their homes.

Doesn't Canada have a massive foreign real estate ownership issue who used them as an investment?

If my country doesn't get housing costs under control they're in serious trouble. The average house in the town I live in is something like 900K and there's basically no local economy. With costs so high I can't afford to start a family. If we keep gaining old folks needing healthcare while keeping housing expenses high and wages low taxes will have to keep going up.\n\nI am not going to continue to pay huge portions of my income for the benefit of the elderly while I can't afford a decent lifestyle. I don't want to but it seems moving to the US or elsewhere is the only option if things continue this way. At list point the local governments are so invested in denying housing permits and abusing zoning laws to prevent housing being built that the only way to fix it would be to strip the provinces and cities of the right to decide their own zoning bylaws. \n\nI want to see a change in the constitution that makes zoning bylaws illegal. There are too many people thinking of their self interest and not of the Nations interest. We deserve to lose the right to decide what can be built in our neighborhoods. We have been abusing this right for too long

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.

Betrayed? ?... Canada doesn't need 20 indian students living in one basement. If you wanna go to a western country , your parents need to have money.

Things are getting worse too. Canada doesn't develop its infrastructure or resources, and now the housing bubble is rapidly deflating

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.

IMEC TRADE COREDORE India Middle East European Corridor ? look at the map for the IMEC TRADE COREDORE it erases Palestine Southern Lebanon Jordan Israel doesn't want peace

Bidens administration created this sense of entitlement and chaos but Dems blame it on Trump bringing the law back. It’s like never disciplining your small children then one day giving them all these rules. They’re going to throw tantrums and be defiant. But that doesn’t take away the fact that the rules ( laws) should’ve been there in the first place to protect our country.

You belong in a Muslim country not here. Your religion doesn't belong here. Thats a free country but it aint free for arabs and Muslims.

If America is such a racist country why are Africans clamoring to come here doesn't make any sense at all these type of questions should be asked to the Liberals when they keep pushing their racist narrative now I would simply asked the question If America is so racist why are Africans coming here in droves and doesn't that make some claim that America is better than Africa if they want to come here

Trans are nasty!!!!!!! And yes, if your trans your service doesn't matter!!!!!!

If this happened in india then one of them may be in heaven or hell for sure. It doesn't matter you have gun in home or not. He is on visa so he is been calm.

This is because the quiff in charge up here doesn't require Mexicans to have a visa. We up here are waiting to get rid of this spineless twerp. There are countless areas where it is unattended; some being almost unattainable to reach ,but there are also countless places unattended that are not so hard to reach. We up here are mostly uninformed about these numbers and if most of us knew? would have put pressure on our government. These numbers are quite alarming and if published on a national level? Canadians would be very concerned AND would understand what President Don was explaining to justify the tariffs.\nGOD BLESS AMERICA

He doesn't want Palestinian to become refuge in arab. But muslims in bharat will cry that we have to accept them

Why doesn't Israel take him as refugees is there a problem

I have no problem with Indians. They are more kind and polite han Canadians by far. I only have a problem with countries that pump out terrorists. India doesn't do that. They are the best this country could hope for. A natural top choice.

You don't adapt. You don't learn our language and you're a strain on our system. Get out!! Canada doesn't owe you a dam thing!

Yeah I don't understand these liberal Democrats and why they want to keep these people in the street they have to be getting kickbacks from the cartels or something it doesn't make sense

Oh Canada ??... Your President doesn't want to guard your Border so y'all not buying American products. I got it your lack of Border security is ??? so keep on keeping up the uneducated plan.

Very well organized by UN emigration compact NOT voted by you but payed by you. With money that DOESN'T EXIST, gov has to borrow it.

It doesn’t make any kind of sense to roll out the red carpet. Where are these illegals? I mean who’s behind this and why? Many people don’t like trump, but\nBut all I know he’s a strong president. A no nonsense president he’s trying to protect this country.
