It doesn't matter what Canada or Mexico does, the Orange Moron in Chief will just make up another lie. He still thinks he's a corrupt New York City Developer. If I wasn't sure if Trump was a Russian asset before, I am pretty sure now. How stupid do you have to be to support this idiot.

I’m am Ukrainian Canadian and over the last few days I see how the new US government’s policy ruining everything we all believe in so dearly: democracy, friendship, helping shoulder to those who needs support against the bloody dictators, and firing thousands of people without cause who provided cybersecurity, guarded fairness of your elections… all being flashed down the toilet. And I watch it being replaced with bulling those who is bleeding, stabbing the friends and neighbors, singing praise to the war criminals charged for crimes against humanity with unlawful deportation and transfer of 20,000 Ukrainian children into russia. Children?! And I want to ask you a question: will you be a silent bystander watching the world plummet into the hatred, redivisions of borders and the rule of heartless convicted “deal makers”? I think I know who he made the deal with... And to those who voted for him: do you still believe this will lead you and your country to greatness?? One single fact that both Moscow and Beijing celebrate watching what’s happening should raise your eyebrows and question your decision to bring this man into power. Instead of making America great again the fight for saving America just began. God help you and all of us!

Trudeau, the guy that wouldn’t let Canadians access their own money by blocking bank accounts because they wouldn’t do as he said ! Still thinks he wears a halo.

If Trump canceled elections and declared martial law indefinitely would you understand that is what a dictator does? That's what Zelinskyy did....plus they are anti marriage between same sex couples, it is illegal. Would you still think him a hero if he locked up all of his political opponents and made All tv stations state run? Zelinskyy did.

God, please help us here in America.\nFirst they came for the ‘ Non citizens’ we were silent, now they are coming for the Federal workers , we are still silent, tomorrow, they will come for us. Do you think the super Billionaires will save us? Our wages will go up in flames via inflation. Sad !!!

What Putin has asked Donald Trump to do is to break away from my allies so he can become a dictator! If the people of the United States do not stand up, we are going to end up in World War iii, we are going to end up poor, hungry, and barely hanging on for our lives because Donald Trump is selling us out 2 our enemy is there any ignorant ass person that still standing behind Donald Trump and think he's a great guy, you need to go and fuc yourself! I am pissed off and frightened at the same time one a little bit more than others at time because the United States has been taken over by a Madman that is so hungry to be a dictator like Putin and he actually think is going to happen and he would do everything to make it happen! Donald Trump has been tested in the waters to become a dictator!

I don't think it's gonna be that tough. We in Norway have 25% tariff on pretty much everything, the reality is people pay it. We still import. It's not gonna stop the trading.

Please raise your hand if you still think Trump is doing a good job. By the way, the trade agreement with Canada and Mexico was SIGNED BY TRUMP!!

What a joke you are PM Trudeau! Do you really think your puny little 25% tariffs on America is going to hurt us? We, Americans, shall see you come begging, on your knees, for forgiveness?. You chose your path. You still have a time to turn from path, but that will require you to admit your crimes against Canadians and American?. Which I believe you will not do?

Trust Trudeau i think not, we still remember your dictator type response at the Truck protest

We are all living in strange times! The bad guy (Putin) is defended like he’s the good guy and the victim (Zelensky) is criticized like he’s the aggressor. This is so weird and negative like an episode of the Twighlight Zone! I think I can understand how Trump is viewing things. Bill O’Reilly seems to know how Trump thinks. Nevertheless, things are upside down! USA voting at the UN with North Korea and Putin and Belarus and against the EU and UK and NATO alliance nations … against the victim Ukraine? This is unheard of! Yet this is so ironic because Leonid Brezhnev, who was the USSR leader, when Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent at that time, working for Brezhnev, is now in his position as leader, and he invaded Brezhnev’s sovereign homeland of Ukraine. Brezhnev must be weeping from hell and regretting his invasion of Afghanistan! Crying from hell, seeing his servant, Putin, in his seat of authority, and invading his homeland like he did to Afghanistan, I’m sure Brezhnev regrets but it’s too late now. He’s burning in hell and he can’t get out of hell! \n\nThe bad deal that Clinton and Yeltson and John Major dealt to Ukraine in the 1990s when they moved all of her nuclear weapons to Russia was like declawing the Ukrainian cat and now the cat can’t defend herself against aggressors because she has no claws to defend herself from aggressive attackers!\n\nCanada and Mexico are our friends not our enemies! China and North Korea still idolize the USSR/CCCP flag and Soviet Union hammer and sickle. Putin is a thug and gangster like Joseph Stalin. Everyone forgot what happened to Alexander Litvinenko except for those like John Bolton. \n\nWe are all living in perilous times! The wrongdoer (Putin) is called good and the victim (Zelensky) is called bad! This is so negatively bizarre and wrong! Isaiah 5:20 warns against this! Putin is not pure evil but he’s definitely not a good guy! He’s a gangster and thug like Al Capone! I think President Trump is walking on a tight rope by trying to make a good deal with Putin. And that tight rope spans from one high rise building to another - the senate and house chambers of the US legislature. The midterms are coming soon and if President Trump loses the house and senate, that tight rope could snap! And all those shock and awe executive orders etc. could come back to haunt him like a boomerang thumping his head.\n\nNever in my wildest imagination would I ever imagine Canadians harboring bad feelings towards the USA! This is 180 degrees opposite of how things were when Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney were in the political arena!

OH CANADA! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of YOU and your Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Do NOT let Donald Trump ruin your way of life. It has been pristine for way too long. Hang in there, stay strong, we Americans are behind you. I am so ashamed of the people that put Agent Orange and his hillbilly in charge. We will fight, make no mistake, we will fight for the real America and for you too. I was born in Deep River, Ontario in 1954. My original family originates in Miramichi (formally New Castle), New Brunswick. I still own 45 hectares in Miramichi. I was brought here by my parents. They would be so ashamed. I think it is time I came back home. ♥️☘️

Even though we as Americans might disagree with President Trump, we have to stand firm on some things here, the way PM Trudeau came on here and reversed this tariffs on the US after all we done with this is still an attack on us, we have to think broader and wider, I am a 22 year retired Navy vet and seen how these countries treat us and we have been taken advantage of, it’s time we stand firm. I love my Canadian brothers and sisters, but this more a government issue here.

Well u should have helped our country like trump asked you to do!!!! He warned you and you didn’t lift a finger so us taxpayers can give you the finger!! ?. ? u think Trump was playing games???!!! Why was your border still opened allowing illegals in our country??!!! They were flying in thru plane and just walk thru Canada & u did nothing about it!!!????

I wish Kamala Harris & Tim Walz would have won the election. I keep thinking about the remarks from trump about secrets with elon & mike johnson. I personally think they cheated. I will always stand with Canada, The UK, Ukraine & every other European country. F trump, he belongs in prison. The only people who still back trump are the rich, the corporations. I will not buy any new phones, appliances & cut back as much as possible on food.

I think we have cheaper alternatives in the US. How about 50%. As long as we have 250% tariffs on American goods, I say keep going. We need reciprocal trade and need to fix the border issues also. We lose so many to the fentanyl. Canada needs to make its military contributions also. We don’t need the bs words from this bs guy. Some better leadership can still fix this but when I hear boycotts, I start checking labels also.

Shame on Trump but of course he doesn't have any. The man is destroying this country and it's amazing how many people voted for him and put him in a position to do it. Y'all still think he is going to lower prices?

If Trudeau had been strong and forceful on all our problems in the last 5 years, he would still be Prime Minister. i think he got caught up in his own self importance, instead of running our country for the good of it's people. I have wanted him out for the last 3 years, but todays speach to the US, Trump and the Canadian citizens showed a strength that i thought he didn't possess. he finally grew a set and it looked good on him. just saying it the way it is.

Lmfao try to invalid the mr pm your army is a woke joke. We have trees we have everything you think you have. You were even voted out but some how you still. And on top of that you owe the taxpayers of America the back pay on the stuff you sent. Your iou s are still not payed.

Yer thinking obiden is still in office. No, terd toe, your wrong. Especially talking about Russia, you are and have always been under our umbrella of protection and ya better watch yer tide pal because without our umbrella yer gonna get soppin wet, and from Russia!

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%

It only took Trump less than a month to destroy our coward of a government!! THE ONLY thing Trump so called promised was to lower cost/eggs smh lol..so stupid ppl voted for him!! Now, most of them are crying!!! Stupidity of them to really think this man cared lol lol...Trump is/ will be running this country just like a BUSINESS!! Just like Putin does Russia. In his first election Putin tried to help Trump win, but it didn't go as planned . Now, Musk helped him win this election by way of tech support. So, now Trump owes Musk AND still owes Putin. Trump is paying off his debts by canceling America, OUT!!

Months later i still can not believe that 75 million morons voted for this! I lovecthat Trudeau used trukps first name live on national television the same think Zelenski did and got yelled at for being disrespectful ?

Great speech Mr Trudeau and shame on our Felon Con Trump for those tarrifs that are only going to hurt our country and the people. The derranged Trump is looking out only for himself and his Billionaire cronies who donate to his campaigns ! The Donald Con Trump thinks he is still in the Apprentice. Poor fool?

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.

CNN has tried for 9 years to take this man down, tried to sway the public to think he’s the worst person on earth. Highlighted every civil and criminal case brought against him, misleading headlines to get your viewers to bite the bait and still nothing has worked and he’s president again?. This is not hyperbole when I say CNN is the most pathetic medial outlet in human history ????

Less than two months this is chaotic. Tdumps Presidency is going to be 4 yrs of chaos. If you think his first term was chaotic in the way his administration handled the Covid-19 epidemic even when he initiated increase on tariffs with imports on aluminum and Steel. Canada answered. Americans seem to conveniently forget the job losses in the states due to Trump's tarriffs during his 1st term. They voted him in based on the inflation of prices and immigration. But the prices are still high and will go higher

We know it's Trump's fault, this guy is an idiot. I still can't figure out how the orange clown felon was able to get back into office! The guy's barely literate, I honestly think any random 15 yr old could do better, he is *not* smart!

Trump , vance and Musk , are not very smart , \nby open trade wars , only the people get hurt on both sides , \nand if USA go after europ then usa will loose even more , \nUsa need us as much as we need them , and Trump \nshould start thinking , becosue americans are loosing power as well \nmust of in europe dont see USA as western leadership anymore , \nthat eneded when people of USA was stupid enough to vote for trump and \nvance , we warned USA people this would happent and still they voted trump \nand now you want us to stand with you ,,,, honestly we have a saying that goes like this \nyou gonna lay in the bed you made , and if you complain about you better redue you bed ! \nSo RNC votes , do you feel the pain the trump a, vance and musk are doing to you , \nif you do then time to remove the idiots from power ! \nand btw , you should rename RNC to RNCC ( Real Northamerica Criminal Consortium)

The only thing I think I'd disagree with here is Trudeau calling Trump a smart man. I know he's trying to appeal to his vanity, but it still feels icky.

I think I know why he's doing this. He doesn't like our Prime Minister. It's unfortunate. Don't believe it. But it's still true. And now we pay the price because of it.

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

MAGAS DO YOU STILL THINK DUMB IS A ECONOMIC GENIUS?

It’s NOT Canada…. It’s Trump!! Trump still thinks Canada pays the Tariffs, where actually American Purchasers will pay the Tariffs! Trump is STUPID!

I think america is still not learning on their past mistakes. They need more example on why electing DJT is a big mistake. I don't even know what they can do to stop him.

I think Donald is still upset over Melania's kiss on your cheek. She appeared more interested in you than Donald. Ouch, a childish revenge move.

Hey America!! Is this becoming real to you yet or do we still think this is game, how much more do you need to realize that we are about to lose OUR country? We have to rise up from this BS that this Orange Tangerine is spewing out. I STAND with you CANADA!!!?????

Pretty funny that trudeau thinks anyone cares what he has to say. Only the NPCs still glazing the left do, but are they people?

You still think this isabout Tarrifs? Trump has a tool in which can blame other countries and take more taxes from you. WAKE UP!!!!

To everybody in here that I didn't vote for Trump and all that other crap remember if you voted for Kamala nothing would be done right now and the fentanyl would still be pouring into America along with Untold millions of illegal aliens so don't think you're cleansing your soul

I still think Justine will. N E V E R. E V E R be forgiven for being attractive to some women. THAT photo.......????????

I see that we’re all still being naive. Telling Trump that this will hurt Americans is not a deterrent, that is the point. Read Project 2025, again Read Project 2025. That’s all it takes. Understand what its authors’ philosophies are. Think of it this way. We know that Trump is aligned with Putin, so what might Putin like to see for the American people? Success or Failure? That is your answer.

You Canadians still think Trump is a friend? Trump only has one friend, Putin, and Putin alone!

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.

I think if you replace Canada with Australia you will still be correct

This is what the democratic administration funds with American taxpayers' money it's a fact no speculation. And there still acting like it's no big deal ant they will do what they want . And for thoes taking advantage of what is happening in America today to launch there own agenda within the United States . Don't do it this mess will eventually get cleaned up and then all the focus will be on you . Think about it because there are a whole lot of WHITE people that are not living very well either White , Mexican, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, all races. Stop crying ....

Hey: I think you’ve seen me comment a lot here because I have my opinions and I really appreciate your blog.(is that what it’s called?). Anyway, I’m gonna tell you about my cancer story.\nTwo years ago at the age of about 53-54, I realize that I hadn’t had a mammogram in a long time because I’ve moved cities so I was on the list but in another city. So I decided I need to go get a mammogram. I contacted my GP and he gave me a referral within a couple of weeks. I had my mammogram. They didn’t like it within a week. They did it again. They didn’t like it. They decided to do an ultrasound. And still, they found areas that they were not happy with. So within another week, they did two biopsies. And they came back as cancer cells that had not gotten together yet to create a tumor. So it’s called stage zero cancer. Within two weeks I was in surgery where they took out everything they needed to and I was told that I have good margins. I then had six weeks of radiation. Five days a week for six weeks.\n\nSo about nine months after that and that healing, I had a referral to a plastic surgeon. She reduced my other breast so that I was even. That was about eight months ago. And this week I had a further reduction, call it a fine-tuning, to further ensure that I was even.\n\nThis was all done in Montreal Quebec Canada. \nI paid zero dollars, except a few times I may have paid six bucks for parking. \n\nI am cancer free. I’ve gone from a double D to a B, which you know is better than dying. I am so happy that I live here.

It’s not Canada job to check on people going from it territory to the us, if you leave the us to Canada, it’s the responsibility of the Canadian borders patrol to know who they are ect..During the 60’s, Fidel Castro Ruz said to the Canadians: what they’re doing to us, they are doing to you to. Did the Canadians understood, like my infant daughter had habit to : I nen know. Today, in Quebec, Ontario, the factoriy buildings are still up but inside completely empty. After the implode of the Soviet Union as the only rooster on the block, they asked most of the countries around the world to shut down theirs raffineries, in Alberta Canada there is one in Balzac, nobody today knows it existence. The us produce light crude and theirs raffineries are built for heavy one, the reason they need oil from the outside and they pay very cheap for it, like Canada got 7 dollars/ barrel, not too long ago, today, I think it’s $ 16.00. To extract the oil from the sand, that cost a lot of money and the pollution level dios mios. They care, good luck. In Africa, with theirs vassals, they organize coups after coup, according to voster, i think, an Africa with the Africans is earth paradise, now they started to ask them to leave, they don’t need them. The canadian company barrick of Toronto just paid something around $480 billions, the ceo had a warrant arrest after his a… the australian one of resolute was in jail and paid what they owed, all of them are a bunch of thieves. They better be careful with the chineses but they are still long time better than any country the collective West. Like I said it, since the beginning of the 2000, the us and the remaining of the g7 will be at each other throat, GOOD.?

To think you can spend thousands of dollars to get a plane ticket to canada and then spend tens of thousands to the coyotes to cross and still get your money's worth from the free handouts that NYC will give you through american tax dollars is disgusting.
