Why are some commentators still talking about fentanyl & immigration as if it has anything to do with whats going on. a psychotic, narcissistic loon who hasn't the faintest clue about government, whose ambition is self enrichment and whose instincts are sel aggrandizement has been elected to the leadership of a country where his unique combination of idiocy, incompetence, insanity, deranged maliciousness and need to exact vengeance on those he feels failed to defer to him sufficiently (or just randomly, to assert himself) can do the most damage. Sure Trump is a fascist, but he's much, much worse: He is totally insane. What do the congressional Republicans tell their children, families and friends about why they're bowing to a clear and dangerous psychooath utterly devoid of human decency ? How do they explain their snivelling deference to a once in a millennia loonatic of these proportions. He's not only, obviously and blatantly imposing hardship on the most vulnerable Americans for personal gain, he is destroying US influence and respect globally. The rest of the world now see the US as a real and present danger. A pscho killer nation from whose derangement no one is safe. How long will this be tolerated; and how long before it occurs to Trump to drop a nuclear bomb on someone just to boost his ego? We aren't dealing with a rational mind, and RRepublicans need to be told that their 'king' went from a corporate tool to Caligula quicker than a Ferrari.

Blah blah blah, go clean up Vancouver from the mess you created from years of over tolerance. We will all see where the dust settles in a few months. The art of the deal.

Can western OR & WA please join BC? We can’t tolerate this shit any longer.

When you ALREADY have tariffs in place against the US you cannot claim Trump is starting a trade war. You started it. Now we have a POTUS with the sand to stand up for us not the world. Republicans understand that things will get tough. Liberals are already snow flakes that were in a melt down from the day Trump took office. We voted them out. I don't think Canadians are going to tolerate much for long unless you open the Treasury and give them money thereby bankrupting them. Drop your tariffs and Trump will drop yours. Is a win win.

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

Trump will be removed pretty soon. Even maga isn’t going to tolerate this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

GO TRUDEAU - As an American I strongly support your position and stand with you and the people of Canada. We Americans are currently being held by the iron fist of a mad man who conned his way into our government with his lies and deceit. We will fight him at every turn, EVERY time. These people have CLEARLY forgot that the government is by the people and FOR the people. Instead, they've chosen to use the government and the people of the U.S. for their benefit ALONE. We will not tolerate this. Consider this American CANADIAN at heart

It’s most of the world, and sensible Americans who employ common sense and logic vs tRump and his neofascist agenda. In professional wrestling terms, the U.S. has turned “heel,” but the now occupant of the White House, who should’ve never returned, always has been one. I don’t understand his appeal, and why so many Americans have been sucked into his orbit.\nI don’t want this, many tRump voters don’t want this. This’ll adversely affect the world, and will do nothing to reduce the nearly $2 trillion deficit. tRump’s tax cuts for the wealthy, and fElon Musk’s austerity measures will, and already are raising unemployment, and will further increase the divide between the wealthiest and most marginalized among us.\nThe U.S. siding with Russia, the two countries having the biggest nuclear stockpiles, is a threat to the world.\nIf WW3 starts, it won’t be because Zelenskyy won’t act to end a war in which his country was unnecessarily invaded, it’ll be because of Russia’s invasion of it, and the U.S. turning its back on its now former allies.\nThose of us in the states who oppose tRump and his alliance with Putin need to continue to stand up, speak out, and perhaps even do more. We’ve never seen anything like this before. Hate to say it, but this could very well be the beginning of the end of what was once a great nation. I’ll end this with a quote from FDR.\n“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

Canada is strongly anti fascist:\n1) we are against rascism and try to fight that human tendency\n2) we believe in religious tolerance and we don't fear secular views\n3) we honour our intelligent and hard working women \n4) we don't worship cult leaders who prey on our fears\n5) we are happy to live financially comfortably but don't worship the dollar\n6) we honour our military but worship peace\n7) we love our country fiercely but respect others and see their strengths\n8) we respect rather than fear sexually diverse persons\n9) we try to understand different perspectives of history\n10) we believe in equity and truth rather than Darwinian power (might is right?-no)\n11) we believe in a social democracy that pools its taxes and provides for all citizens

Trump is the waste (of time, space, and humanity), the fraud (on MAGA, and voters), and the abuse (of women, patience, tolerance, kindness, and the Constitution.)

Trump is a first class bully, Canada won’t tolerate his nonsense. Very poor move for Trump and his team to make.

Now he turns around and becomes a Canadian patriot for 9 1/2 years he’s beaten us with everything he could. Canadians don’t need Trudeau and his collaborators to tell us what it means to be a Canadian. We aren’t at war with America and yes Canadians are patient, civilized and tolerant as has been clearly demonstrated since 2015. Now call a federal election.

Very unfortunate to see Two close friends and neighbors ?? are not tolerated no more.

UK here....we have long been allies with Canada and we have never tolerated little bullies, be they orange or otherwise xx

From France: we refuse to live in a world of brute, without rules of respect of the other cultures. Canadians is a mervelous country who can living with differents community, and tolerance. they understood the significant of the first originals tribues , and include them with a big resoect. At the time where we must to be careful to the health of our environement, we go to take the management of war! Who want to live in a world in war, with machines and AI, controled by a brutal minority of brutes? For the peace and the good life beetwen humans, we must to fight the lies and the corruption. For the souverainity of Canada: fight for the peace.

Trump is not satisfied with dividing Americans. The mango moron is trying to divide the world. He's a Russian asset. We all know it. Trouble is brewing. We won't tolerate a dictator in this country. His days are numbered and freedom loving Americans will take him down. Buckle up Trump or FA and FO.

PROTEST AMERICA!!! WHY ARE YOU TOLERATING THIS!!!!!!

Why are we tolerating this? We do we allow this orange doofus to do this? Canada has done nothing. I stand with my northern brothers and sisters. I stand with Ukraine.

Your relationships with others do not actually depend on how well you treat them but rather on your strength and the leverage you hold. People tend to be more tolerant of the strong, while even if the weak do nothing wrong, they may still be mistreated. Even if you endure everything in silence, it is often seen as a cheap attempt to please others.

I know he is tolerating all that nonsense and not reacting but bro no need to.. give them back what they deserve.. at least talk back.. no need to tolerate such abuse just because ur in their country.. we give such racist people back the taste of their own medicine all the time..? if we keep quiet they do it to all the people.. we should not let that happen.. we have our own self respect which we should protect..

They expect respect when their whole theology is NOT RESPECTABLE. You can’t tolerate the intolerable….. this is just a plain as day fact that a lot of these fools just won’t take on board. They justify raping our kids ffs…. Lolz. This is disgusting and must be stopped and removes for the safety of our kids

They were tolerated by Democrats Biden Harris

They are fleeing Canada? Why? Not enough tolerance over there?

Next step should be arresting any politician harboring or helping these illegals. Zero tolerance with severe consequences

Zero tolerance- send them all out of the USA.

Stop tolerating the Left!

Incredable how these dems have brain washed ppl to want to be in a dangerous situations, tolerate murderers, theft and destruction of America. This is a mental health crisis.

Trump can't do it all American people need to go out there and start protesting get out there and tell those politicians you're not going to tolerate this nonsense anymore

If we stopped these people at the border and made them stay in the country they entered, Canada, and Mexico. How long do you think they would tolerate this before they stopped it. The cost to house, feed, medical, clothe, document, and get jobs for would mess up their economy. But because they want to come to the U.S.A. they do not have to worry about it.\nWe cannot solve the world's problems, all we can do is help without destroying our own country.

Dude, NY Gov/legislation is literally helping invade the U.S.A, nah bro.\nThe tolerance for that should be at the ground floor. Actually under the ground floor.\nI would ignore local progressives, they live in a fantasy land anyway. Keep doing what you're doing\nICE, keeping the country and its communities safe.

Because of some peoples mistakes other genuine people have to suffer. Which country will tolerate indiscipline and illegal activities. They have set of rules put up by every country which needs to be followed if you don't will be thrown out like what's happening now. Governments should track down illegal consultancies and bring them to justice. Just to earn a buck these consultants bring illegal immigrants and leave them. Which is hampering our country's image and destroying it. These illegally immigrants dont understand about our country.

This right here, is why like Poland ?? they’ll implement warnings that you will be shot if you attempt to cross into border cities ILLEGALLY ‼️\n\nAnd Rightfully so ‼️\n\nMass Disruption will eventually NOT be tolerated in ANY COUNTRY ☝️

India has become notorious for the world's worst rates of visa fraud, immigration fraud, illegal migration, financial fraud. Even their marriage fraud rates now rank among the highest in the world. Until Indians can demonstrate a culture based on honesty, reliability, trustworthiness, all of them should be BANNED from any other country. No more tolerance for deception, fraud, crime.

No other Country would ever tolerate this either.

Many Indians went to USA illegally through currupt agents and companies or pulled there by equally dumb, illegal relatives. They took pride in going away, even if they ended up doing menial jobs or when in better jobs, put up with racist locals. The land of the free in reality is not as marketed. The population there only tolerates migrants ...not welcomes.

Such a humiliating experience. Not every country is like India to tolerate nonsense. Why in the first place does someone enter a country that too like the USA without proper paperwork? \nAnd why is it this a news story? USA should have claimed charges from the modi government.

They are sending a very clear message with this behavior, we are coming in whether you like it or not! This is an invasion and the military needs to be sent now!! We need to send a clear message, it will not be tolerated!!! Nothing is free to non citizens!!!?????? Proud of our border patrol!!! Thank you for all you do!!!??❤️

West will answer & it boils down to conduct and behaviour.... Economic leverage ? People will understand that it's a Farce...wait and watch...\nEvery one wants others to invest in their country - that's how revenue is generated based on Tourism.\nBut many Indians don't conduct themselves respecting other countries ethos.\nRecently some gang of people were Chanting Jai Shri Ram in their Train...some set of people were peeing in open see - detained by their Police...\nBargaining in their market as their birth right - not welcome in their society.\nOf all the way Indian men look at Foreign women ... totally unacceptable by their society.\n\nThey can't tolerate these conduct even at loss of revenue...they have other foreign countries who can bring in the requisite income to sustain their Tourism...\n\n\nThe reason why Goa lost its Tourism and the reason why Passport lost its value - purely on inability to conduct oneself respecting others to support others.

go home where your tolerated, none of you are wanted here now, the many have ruined it for the few

Thank you Border Protection the US Military and everyone else helping to secure our borders this is a hard and becoming very dangerous job this is where everybody gets an adjustment and they have to believe this won't be tolerated anymore

People underestimate how difficult it can be to control people mid-flight if a situation occurs. The handcuffs are necessary to restrict movement. \nSecondly, they are criminals after all. No other country would tolerate illegal migrants. It is a crime globally.

I don't understand, in this particular move by Trump, why he is being vilified for removing illegal immigrants! They should not be tolerated in the United States. \nBut the Tarrifs and Trump's other disastrous, destructive and illegal moves will ruin America.

Transgender or not doesn't matter... This navy commander is gorgeous & she definitely seems to not tolerate the bigots & she is very accomplished.

Most people in the comments section are delusional. Trump is removing the illegal immigrants. I mean try illegally entering my country you will be slapped out of it. America tolerating this kind of nonsense for so long has washed off it’s public of common sense and rational thinking.

Lesson, fill out the proper paper work and wait in line. Cutting in line will not be tolerated. We love legal immigrants. Legal immigrants respect our laws and our people.

Illegals is Illegals no mater the color breaking the law shouldn't be tolerated

???OUR FAMILIES DID IT LEGALLY SO WHY DO THEY THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHTS TO STEAL FROM US AMERICANS!!!!!! I'M A 60+ YEAR OLD DISABLED WOMAN WHO CAN NEVER WORK AGAIN!!!!

Problem with us Canadian is, when you've had the best you can't tolerate the rest.

There is in fact no actual housing shortage in the USA whatsoever. The problem is that that wealthy individuals have strong incentives to park excess capital in real estate and landlords have strong incentives to maintain asset values through cash flow potential (appraised through $/sq.ft rent revenues). What ends up happening in both cases is that you end up with lots of empty houses sitting collecting dust artificially gaining value due to scarcity, and with rentals, you end up with perpetually inflated rents and vacancy rates that are as high as a landlord can tolerate just to maintain the appearance of value to the lenders. Often these owners will borrow more money and use an apartment that might be 40% vacant as the collateral for the lender and go buy another building and so on. What people don't penalize is the fact that that 40% vacant building with 60% rented out at above fair value gets treated on the balance sheet to the bank as if its 90% rented out from an asset value perspective thereby setting the asset price artificially high. Simple legislation of the tax code can fix this issue and unlock lots of sidelined housing. All we have to do is progressively tax 2nd 3rd 4th ect. homes higher and higher rates that essentially cancel out the asset gains, and do something similar for vacant units in a apartment building. \nIts just at the core a case of the rich hoarding something that has been made artificially rare. On top of all of this, because of how valuable properties have become, there are now many interests that capitalize on the entire process of building new housing that make it ever more expensive. Our taxes are funding numerous regulators that stymie new development, while the developers have to then hire numerous attorneys and planners to pitch a project and litigate it through the cities to get approvals. This can take over 10 years in a major city. All this contributes to the ridiculous costs of building these days.

We are not tolerating this BS any more….time for some Trump hard ball….thats why the American voters hired him ………no more wasted money
