Trump is not is nobody's puppet. Most powerful man alive today.

Trump confuses power with ability to create. He grossly overestimates himself as a dealmaker and is weakening America like few before him. He can't handle the economy, he can't handle diplomacy, he can't handle security, he can't handle the common good at all. He is a moral and ethical disaster. The world is recognizing it. Why do Americans still believe him when you can watch him fail live?

Powerful.

Canada should become part of India and become a Super Power! \nLot of Indians want to move to Canada, so it is the perfect decision. ???

Stop foreign ownership of Canadian homes, it invites rest of world to use our limited Real estate as an investment and drive up the prices. Stop government unions power....so many unneccessary positions and fat, with full job protection and generous pension plans that grow more and more with every new contract. Thats why we are un productive.

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

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

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.

Brief summary: 10 years ago Justin Trudeau gets into power. Investments into the Economy are neglected and frilly social programs are funded instead.

This is why Trump wants Canada. To save Canada from itself. In year 2125 The entire American continent will be the New States of the Americas From Canada to Argentina. A strong transcontinental power Rivalling the Eurasian Union.

Canada is a complete shithole thanks to Justina Tardeau and his corrupt Liberal criminal party. We will collapse if they ever get power again.

Funny, the dowturn started when Tredeau and the liberals came in to power. I know correlation is not causation but there are various data points that confirm that they were resposible for the majority of our current problems.

It is in the interest of politicians to talk about lowering house prices (to avoid alienating non homeowners) but at best; only slowing the increase -property owners generally have more money, more voter turnout and thus political power...slashing the value of their biggest investment is probably a lousy campaign strategy.

I grew up on Vancouver Island and the local government didn’t allow for secondary suites. Then with housing crisis continuing the fact that province had to step in with a carrot and stick approach to municipal governments to approve more housing and change regulations stick being if you don’t meet targets you lose power and carrot you hit the targets you get cash this created a direct opportunity cost of nimbyism plus the federal government would top the amounts if a municipal government hit there housing targets. It changed really quickly the municipal government changed the law to allowing secondary suites to be built which the cost per square foot to build is 1/3 compared to new builds. This allows more rental properties and housing options and allows more people to purchase goods and services in the local area and not dramatically increasing the costs of new infrastructure to service them as compared to a new housing development on the outskirts of the city. A home could comfortably double it’s density every effectively, affordably and swiftly.

American GDP per capita is lopsided by tech giants that bring money from all over the world but employ small numbers compared to other industries. Take that out its just Russia. If the USA doctors charged 200k for surgey, the gdp went up 200k but the patient is now bankrupt. \n\nCanada messed up with immigration and handing out study permits. There was never a need for low skills foreign workers and diplomas that taught zero skills to international students. The root cause the crony capitalism that drives down wages and workers quality of life. Nothing will change until workers get back power they had in 50s and 60s.

I'm tired of Canada being compared to the US and no one else. Yes, the US is more productive, richer and powerful than Canada, everyone knows that. But they're also all those 3 things to every other economy in the world! Don't stop comparing Canada to the US, but for god's sake, could you throw in some European and Asian countries too?

Not trump but a more liberal future president should seriously consider making Canada apart of the USA, it would be ridiculously powerful and innovative. I mean the only reason they exist is the British managed to fight off the US

Not representative of all Canadians but thanks Elon for giving more power to the filth of society. I hope Justin Trudeau doesn't only fight for khalistanis.

Indian cities ka redevelopment hona chahiye, modernise hona chahiye. Aur science me development hona chahiye aur currency powerful bhi hona chahiye

This Indian is very calm if this person would be Hiryanvi or Bengali or some one from northern sates we would show the real power of himself

Democrats are doing this FOR ONE REASON AND ONE REASON ONLY!!!! ETERNAL POWER!!! Sorry democrat constituents are brainwashed! VANCE 28!!

Why does the World see King Salman as a Puppet of America and Israel?? Saudi's say they are the leaders of Muslims but they have the Power to STOP the GENOCIDE against Palestinians by Stopping Using Dollars that will Pressure Israel to Stop the War in 1 day. But King Salman is just a Dog or a Puppet as the World sees it

Jagmeet and Jaswinder Trudeau used these Indian to stay in power, no that the power has slipped away they are going to send back their illegal vote by manipulating them to join forces with the separatist khalistani force backed by ISI and US deep state.

They are going back to Mexico and waiting for Trump to leave ?. We cannot let them into power again. The people making decisions are not living with the problems they have created

Cracking down on criminals is good but they slready know who the criminals that have been in the US is what mèds to be dealt with, along with thier foreign associates. Over all this would be a good thing BUT making Everyone into a criminal is a bad thing. They know enough to see and separate the 2. Groups but don't want to or only want to do the minimum sort thingßout. \n* more power and guidance to those who are doing things righteously rather than bullying power flexing.

They see the Arab world sees that Palestine deserves and is owed the Jews land so move them over next or involve them not today one day that end of the world will fight I believe this ! They just want power and to be wise and we better watch this nation cause this one is smart

after the elections and due to the massive hate on foreigners I am planning to leave as well. In plus: healthcare system has deteriorated. I wont be here when AfD wins. I dont want to work in a country where such people were brought to power by their people.

@11:02 how can the state block Feds. I really don’t understand. Surprised the Feds don’t have the power to remove state politicians for blocking federal mandates

This isn’t new; border officers had this power pre-pandemic for non-genuine candidates. This could reduce exploitation and human trafficking by the fraudulent consultants. It seems Trudeau has finally come to his senses bring back these rules.

They are illegal aliens. Stop sugarcoating criminals. There was no asylum crisis. There was a abuse of power and authority and corrupt US government crisis.

The customer was probably an addict, failed in his life and that's why he is showing his power on poor delivery guy

Hire more immigration officers and station them at all bus terminals and give them federal power to check immigration status and ID checks on everyone citizens and illegals alike. And don't start whining about civil rights , airports all over the world check people coming into their countries every minute. We can and should do it even in traffic stops.

This is technically called an invasion. It does not matter if they come across with tanks/guns or air power.....This is an invasion!!!

PALKI SHARMA ! Always busy transmitting tragedic news about loss & deportations. V view her to listen all sad news since Trump into power.

Not it’s because they become a caste of people they don’t have to serve but still get the political power on the house by gaining more seats because of population

Go Home and drive your evil leaders out of power and put God-fearing leaders into power. US has their own problems to fix.

Its all about money!!! And i even had the realisation that \nIts more than likey the case those in power are in on it as its apparently 'NOT SEEN AS ILEGAL AND ARE PUSHING THE NARATIVE ,( TO MAKE MONEY!) THAT THESE PPL ARE REFUGEES AND SO THEY ARENT COMMITTING A CRIMINAL ACT BY CROSSING BOARDERS AND BREAKING INTO EACH COUNTRY!!!\nEVERY1S MAKING MONEY,\nEXCEPT THOSE PAYING FOR IT!!! ,, I WONDER WHO THEY WOULD BE!??

What is wrong with these people don’t they ever watch the news hello ? trump is in power now go back home

New York has to start voting every Democrat leader out of office… they need to remove all Democrats out of positions of power… pretty sure the Mayor will end up becoming an America First Republican before the end of Trumps term(s)

All illegals should move to a sanctuary city asap. Trump does not have power to get them.

What can Canada do? They are sooo overrun by the illegals themselves. And, why Indians,? I thought India is an up-and-coming super power ?

Adams stance is this: He wishes for the law to be enforced, because he knows the damage it has caused to the city of NY, which he was elected represent, and the citizens whom he has the charge and duty of safety and maintenance. But he's been ham-strung because of the leftarded Governor, Hochul. He wants to follow the desire of his constituency, but cannot because the Sanctuary City Status is out of his control, because of Hochul. Tom Homan stance is this: If that's truly the crux of the situation, then you will do everything within your power to assist the Federal Government Law Enforcement Efforts. To hinder any effort would be seen as a criminal act, and he would be the first to feel the axe. Hochul is next. So, yeah...whether he's cooperating because he truly wants Law and Order, or to save his own arse. I care not, either way, so long as the job is done.

Anyone with any Common Sense knows that Democrats don't give two shits about these people it's just a power grab

Blaming the illegals themselves is something the powers funding this across all western countries prefer you to do

So much misinformation in this video. First off, Trump didn't force Canada to do anything. Canada had the $1B security plan already in place and was going to do this long before Trump came to power. Secondly, more people come in to Canada illegally from the US than the other way around. Also, Canada has a huge issue with these people smuggling US guns in to our country. \n\nThe US needs to secure its borders. Canada has the fewest number of illegals coming in compared to US and Mexico, and also, they all come in from the US. Nobody is swimming across oceans to come in to Canada illegally otherwise.

You give the Politicians too much credit by connecting it to an ideology, they are just thieves, parasites of a loophole, power seeking bullies, plain and simple.

The democrats wants illegal aliens the right to vote ? & they don't do background checks on then WTH & that will keeping that party in power indefinitely ?tk god for Trump
