Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

There is one Golden Opportunity for India to get rid of our gigantic debt, sinking economy, dunky migrations, poverty, sinking our rupee value, China’s worry and misery including demise of Hinduism, Become 51st State of the USA. Trump the great is in a hurry to expand his empire ten fold at any price.

USA PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A RARE GOLDEN USA PRESIDENT

But Trump promised you a golden era he didnt say for who....apparently for the working middle class- .its looking less shiny for you, ?? Things are going to cost more for all.of us, well- now in Canada our eggs are now cheaper as we have to shop by bus! The Bourbon is off the shelves, and I maybe need to make a new list for help from Santas elves; His billionaire pals, tho will be entering that new golden age, and chumming with Putin to try and appease any Russian rage ! The Donald has acted and now we all pay, the skies today in North America all grey.

While Doge is firing people without cause, preventing them from being able to provide for their families, the Canadian government is ensuring benefits are available to those who will suffer, instead of a golden handshake to the 1%.

Wesley Clark is a tool. \n\nHe knows very well that the US cannot get in a shooting with Russia. Not only due to the possibility of a nuclear exchange, but a shooting conflict with Russia is a golden opportunity for China to take Taiwan and for a full scale war to break out in the Middle East. Not only between Iran and Israel, Egypt has been building up forces near Israel as well. \n\nThe US can’t fight and win a 3 theatre war. Aka WWIII. \n\nEveryone knows these tariffs are about the USMCA, in addition to drugs and aliens. This could have been averted. They know it. They’d rather let their people suffer than give up a favorable trade imbalance for a slightly less favorable trade imbalance. \n\nBut for Trudeau to invoke appeasement knowing the real stakes. And knowing that the only thing preventing hostilities breaking out elsewhere in the world is the US having freedom of action to respond, is shameful. \n\nAnd Wesley Clark, along with the rest of the neocon geopolitical apparatus, being willing to flirt with WWIII because Trump is pulling the plug on their imperial project in Ukraine.. downright traitorous.

Golden age with a white house of criminals????

America is not in a golden era more of a orange/ brownish shit stain era sorry Canada Trump is out for Trump America or any other country be damned .Trump speaks for the american government but not the American people he has little regard for

Golden age only for the wealthy. ?We DO NOT WANT THIS. We stand with Canada ?? ❤

What are you talking aboot eh buddy! We can buy American. You clearly don't know what is going on and just what a new Golden Age means. ???

He is a Democratic American. I really like this guy. Won’t I’ve always had a lot of respect for Canadians. They’re friendly. They’re nice people and don’t tell me to go live there. I’ll stay here and standby. My fellow Americans that don’t want tyranny. And I’m in my golden years and I had to see this. And I can’t imagine I just survived open heart surgery woke up during the surgery surgery and came out of it alive to be brought back back to what this is happening in my country.

Is this the “Golden age” MAGA was promised? Thanks MAGA voters, get ready to become poorer, you wanted a reality show you got it!

lol! tChumpf is praying for a new golden era - he’s gonna get a golden shower!

I still want to believe the US didn’t saddle us with stupid tariffs, it was the golden turd. Americans, you know he is hurting all of us. And for what?

Trump must have been referring to a New Golden Age for Russia, not America. Trump is the Epitome of Stupidity, 'Self Harm while attempting to Harm Others' ..Stupid Turkeys Carrying their own Axe to Thanksgiving comes to mind. Cheers from Michael. Australia.

Americans: You may think Trudeau is acting like a golden boy. His approval rating from his OWN country is a terrible 34% . He needs to step down like he has been taking about since November.

God is giving us a good and deserved lesson here: Don't trust men. Trust God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Instead of trusting God, many thought that a golden era was coming. But God had other plans. He cannot be mocked. We all reap what we sow.

Not golden age olden age

This actually is war at the highest level without guns and bullets but every price that goes high is actually making this country very poor with our people is this the golden age.

Mr Trump: “now Canadians will need visa to enter to us unless the have golden card”

As an American I can say I did not vote for this nor do I want this and I know there are others like me. America is not entering a new golden age we are in the process of a head on collision with the modern dark ages. Sooo Canada what are your polices for becoming a citizen

As an American we are getting a Golden Shower from Trump. As an American I have never been more disappointed of my country then I am now. You do what ever you need to for your awesome country. I believe everything you stated because it's that easy to look into. Trump and Musk are Russian puppets that is easy to prove but the idiots here do not understand the facts. Most of America supports you. God Bless!!

Trumps golden age only applies to him and all the billionaires. The rest of us are here to do his will and paying higher prices and taxes.

Welcome to the Golden Age of politics?

It is the Golden Age.\nFor #47 and his billionaire buddies.

Correction... 3:18 they only want a New Golden Age for billionaire oligarchs.\nIt's sad. My family arrived at both Plymouth and Acadia. I love both, both are my blood.\nDon't be fooled, you're about to see the mass movement of money and capital away from working people and into the pockets of the global elite.\nLet the money grab begin!

I am an embarrassed American who knows that this so called golden age Trump speaks of is nothing but FOOL’S GOLD. We have a fool for a president.

How can anyone in the world trust the United States government. Your Golden Age will certainly turn into the Dark Ages with your tactics ??

A golden age for the rich, not the people. Stand strong Canada , dont let this bully take you down.

MAGA has lied to America...The only Golden Age is for Trump and Elon's Oligarchs....they are the only ones filling their pockets with tax brakes.\nThe normal person will have to pay higher prices \nsince the Trump's tariff are going to be added to the price of the goods.

Might be time to impeach trump already; before he suspends the God ordained Constitution; trump appears to be a liar and traitor: where is the golden age?; what the hell is maga?; need i go on about felony convictions; is everybody afraid of trump? God help us if he abandons Israel in lieu of more power and useless wealth.

Why are we doing this to Canda but lifting sanctions on Russian,selling golden visa s to what will be mostly Russian,allowfor the 1st time in histry TASS Russian state tv in the oval office and our President having private conversations with Putin WTF is going on in America ??????

We are in our golden age moment wake up and smell the coffee

Golden age of billionaires

Look how he uses the term “Trade War” they started propaganda to start economic war. Our nation USA is only looking for its best interest for its nation and people. We are loving the Golden Age. Canada looks ridiculous with starting a TRADE WAR… not USA ??. Canada is retaliating. Simple.

Golden age, pthh More a golden shower if you ask me, then again it`s the same smell and color as their leader... \nHe act like what we in Denmark call... Kong gullerød... King carrot, and it ain`t even the orange coler we talk about, \nit`s was what we in old day`s called a true better knowing smartass, only funny it`s orange too...

Trumps agenda is only for himself to enter into the Golden Age at the cost of our entire nation

Golden age of America? Look like Stone age of America!!! America isolated and alone.Credit goes to Mr Donald Duck.

It's not a golden age...it's a golden shower by Trump over The US and the world ?

Another GOLDEN TRUMP ACT?

Trump is a traitor to us Americans. The golden age is Trump final days.

Trump’s vision of the coming American Golden Age means when he becomes a real dictator of the country, much like Putin, Xi and Kim.
