Hmmm gone through 5 years of a bad economy. We can handle a few more months to bring back manufacturing in the US and to finish off Trudeau.

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

Mon cœur est plein d’espoir pour la Paix…\nI love Canada. So courageous and talent those people are, they havé a very good gvt.\nSoon I Will be there to discover this country.\nThe futur freedom with a powerfull economy, I Hope to finish my profesional Life there.

Good America is finished

Yet the Liberals are gaining in the polls...This country is finished economically. Trudeau is a weak leader and I would prefer someone who isn't backed by Trudeau to lead the Liberals, nor Carney who refuses to outright criticize Trudeau.

Gawd Blitzer shut up. Use a translator, let him finish his remarks. We don't need CNN's ridiculously oversidzed row of pundits to comment on a head of state's remakrs, until he's finished them!

It’s really annoying that CNN continues to babble on instead of letting Trudeau finish his press conference and then proceed with their responses. Our country is in the hands of a madman along with Musk and other cowardly Republicans who are in office. For all of those who voted for Trump, wait till energy and other costs rise, but it’s a shame we will all suffer as a result. Canada is our friend I am ashamed right now to call myself an American.

Am I the only one seeing one of the most smart, clever and intelligent real politician of today? Talking like he has finished some good university, but still has brain and critical thinking. With pride and balls. Bravo! Without any choice and political choice. Just pleasure to see/hear this. What’s going on will be in history books. 100%

Justin Trudeau is hated by most Canadian folk.\nTrudeau needs to leave the stage, WOKE POLITICS is finished. \nAmerica will happily work with Canada ?? but not Trudeau.

WHO cares what Trudope says.. HE IS DONE..FINISHED ..MARCH 9TH...He shouldn't be making any decision....HE IS A DEAD DUCK!!!!!!

Dotard donald didn't wipe his face after putin finished on it

He is so full of it! America is just finished giving them free money! Canada is a welfare recipient of America and we've had enough!

Don't get sucked in by this piece of garbage. He's excited to kill Canadas economy and finish implementing the Great Reset. You will own nothing and be happy. \nHe talks about fertilizer while he heavily restricts fertilizer in Canada. Ugh.... \n \nYou can't hate Trudeau enough.

I support TRUMP on his take on UKRAINE. You can’t talk tough from a place of weakness. If America stops supporting, Ukraine is finished and this talk about after Ukraine NATO countries are next is total nonsense(if Russia does then just activate article 5 and shut the f up). You cannot talk about negotiation and diplomacy while insulting your opponent. Trudeau is a liar and we can’t forget his actions in trying to rewrite history by bringing Zelenskyy to congress and applauding a Nazi Veteran and calling Russia the aggressor in the 2nd world war. That will never be forgotten SILLY!!!!!!

Where do you think elon is going when elon finish destroying america.????

Dear Canadians Im sorry that their (not my President) dementia ridden dipshit of a president. Started something he could not finish. I promise you not all Americans are like this. And not all Americans are stupid followers of his.

You already tariff American goods ya idiot!! What do you think started this BS!! We’re gonna finish it! And your 200 billion subsidy is OVER! ??

Trudeau is just pissed because all his kickbacks have been cutoff...wait unit they finish tracking all the USAID and NGOs funds and who got the kickbacks..lol...we are talking trillions...that seem to be located overseas?...lol...he is a crook...lol

Please all Canadian's, vote for him so he can finish the job. He's smart and sticks by you all. We don't have that here

trump is finished already dont deal with usa block them out of everything and look to other markets uk , europe, asia etc well done sir respect from the uk.

@robertedward7023 It can but I think Trump is right on this one. Zelensky needs to realize that he won't get his land back that Russia took, and that negotiating is the only way to come to peace now. He's living in a fairytale world fighting an unwinnable war. I think the US is right to pull the plug on financial aid to try to pressure Zelensky to negotiate to end the war. Unfortunately, to end the war Ukraine will likely have to concede the land they lost. But the reality is Putin will never give that land back. But it's better than more people dying everyday. Zelensky has gotten all too comfortable relying on financial aid and as a result he hasn't been willing to try anything new (like negotiate) to get this war finished. If we keep sending him money, nothing will change. Now he has pressure to negotiate. the US and Canada can't keep sending money to Ukraine for the next 20 years while this war carries on.

This is pure evil walking the Earth. Unfortunately the USA is finished. Much suffering to come.

I can make it make sense. Trudeau clearly wants to destroy this country. He is with the WEF. He has stolen from Canadian taxpayers. Let our borders be unprotected. I can go on and on, but will finish with this, he funds CNN and other news stations. People need to wake up and research!

ftom Ohio..,thanks Canada for the truth and intelligence expressed ..\nif only 10% of amercan voters change their minds ftom your speech ..trump and lap dogs are finished

All of you below are smoking something serious… all Trudeau has to do is stop the flow of fentanyl and stop placating dei and failed security policies. \n\nZelenskyy is nothing but a man child running around with his handout…who doesn’t have the man power to fight Russia and will expect American soldiers to defend him. NATO started this war and they should finish it. \n\nStop being a bunch of parrots and do your own research.

All countries must do what Canada is doing we tired of republican thugs trump his a devil sick crazy old man imperialist we are not leaving in the olden days the world has change America will be finished soon

Now compare it to Trump who can't formulate his thoughts and finish a sentence.

Don’t be stupid Trudeau, Trump doesn’t care immigration or Fentanyl from Canada, he wants to finish Canadian economy and invade your land

trump is costing farmer their markets. The US had to shell out some 32 billion as a result of his screw ups in his first term with his trade war with China. These tariffs will finish that job especially in combination with loss of farm labor, setting down USAID which purchased over 2 billion dollars in farm products , cutting conservation programs along with other support. trump should be impeached along with that WART called vance.

Canada is finished ???? welcome 51st State

Pfffft…. Canada is finished, suicide.

Please congress do you JOB IMPEACH the crook in the white house along with his other crook that's stealing our money ? MUSK. When they finish with us we will not have a country any more.

Finish Free trade zone with EU. Its already in progress, with maximum engagement from Canada and EU it can be done it less than a month. Lets call it MTES - Make Trumputin Eat Shit.

I’ve been predicting this since two years ago, this is my assessment for the near future: Putin’s euphoria about the USA abandoning Ukraine will be short lived. The EU is determined to finish the job in Ukraine. And it has three powerful triumph cards ?: 1. the $300billion Putin’s frozen money 2. The EU has an enormous capacity to build weapons in short time. Germany built 6 liquefied natural gas docking stations in 6 months, a world’s record. Ukraine has demonstrated that Russia is a paper tiger. Its drones have devastated not only the Russian tanks, but the oil refineries. Imagine if the E5 army (Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Italy) start producing weapons? Which they will. But the current weapons are ( the typhoon, grippen, mirage, Rafale ) more sophisticated than the old mig29 or the useless Su57. Russia doesn’t dare to try to dominate the Ukrainian airspace. And Ukraine, without a navy, destroyed 40% of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Even the flagship Moskva!! 3. But the most powerful weapon that the European Union has is the Almighty stable euro. The United States has been printing trillions of dollars and exporting them for years, they’re hiding under the mattresses of Third World countries for a rainy day. If the EU says we no longer will accept dollars, the United States will disappear overnight. The BRICS countries will pile up on the USA, which will be alone in the world. Hyperinflation and poverty will be the result. This ability to weaken the USA economy and currency, By simply saying we want to move away from that currency, will make Wall Street run away from it. The printed trillions that slowly flew out the country will fly back in days, creating a hyperinflation that Zimbabwe and Venezuela wish they had…. Warren Buffet is getting out of the United States stock market to the tune of $350 billion and put that money in the Japanese stock market, this should tell you what is going to happen soon. Either the big guys in Wall Street take control of the guy in the White House, or they will have no country or no money. The EU will preserve democracy and the civilized world. The non proliferation treaty will be history and Russia will never dare to threaten the west anymore. Thank you, Putin. You won, you destroyed the USA, but created a more powerful Europe. Celebrate on May 9. Europe will celebrate when the last Russian is dead in Ukraine

Biden couldn’t walk and Donald can’t finish a sentence without destroying everything…

We fucking finished

_So, The Orange Liar replaced NAFTA with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) in 2020. Which was designed to create a fairer trading system between the 3 countries. Wasn't THAT supposed to make things better?_\n\n*Fentanyl was first synthesized in 1959 by a Belgian chemist and later marketed as an intravenous analgesic drug, Sublimaze. While Mexico and China are the primary source countries for fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked directly into the United States, India is emerging as a source for finished fentanyl powder and fentanyl precursor chemicals.*

I feel like to be a Canadian this time, what a leader wow..\n\nIf US lost its alliance... Puttin will finished Us for his breakfast \n\nAmerica will be great again only after Trump understand tha roles and importance of alliance

Trump is a criminal and the world's biggest traitor on record. He is not the brains behind it though. It is the rich right wingers like Musk and Putin. The US dies not get shared intelligence anymore because Trump is probably passing info to Putin. He is just a kao dog who would prefer to play golf and get told what to do. Stand firm Canada. The EU is with you and will help in any way it can. I feel the majority of the US is also on your side, and I do not see Trump finishing his term in Washington. I think the people are protesting a lot now, and it is rising!

Enjoy your new tarrif Oga. When you finish your long speech you go and see how to do die diligence to negotiations

Bit rich when Canada is finished it’s wokeness has taken over

Canada is finished. Best to move on

Think of it. These invader gangs were likely recruited in Venezuela and funded for their journey with Biden-USAID treason cash. Now with the finish line insight, they discover the gate is closed and the treason cash outfitters are gone!.?.

We need that wall finished fortified and e xl bases on the American side,,spaced out spanning the entire boarder

Even though it was already said, it must be said again. THIS IS NOT A “DISRUPTION”, IT’S AN INVASION.” May I also add that these migrants are using asylum seekers as an excuse. FINISH THE WALL AND PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS FROM INVASION!!!!!

build factories in. MONTANA , MAINE , NEBRASKA , TENNESSEE - GIVE SOME THE WORK WE NEED & THEY NEED , ALL JOBS MUST HAVE 70% NATURAL BORN AMERICANS , WE NEED A CHANGE NOT THE SAME OLD PIZZA WORKERS , DELI WORKERS , LAUDROMAT WORKERS , FINISHED , HIGH SKILLS FOLKS FROM EVERYWHERE , NOT THESE 8 rat nations that have been illegally coming here for over 25 years

As soon as America finishes the Mexico border fence, we should start building the Canada border fence. We need to keep those crazy liberal French Canadians up there. Lol

and many American truck fill with illegal american are bring to canada then who is the thief? you make money to bring those haiti peoples to canada this era is almost finish

The border wall beams should have a sharp pointy finish on top and should bend back into Mexico to make it impossible and painful if attempted to climb over. There should be no horizontal support beam too close to the top so they cannot latch ladder onto it. Also electrify the wall.

Thank you, Joe! Harris would have finished what he had started!
