I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

Trump owes Putin for something..and the country is not going to be held to his debt to Putin. Is someone in Trump's family being held by Putin? Is everyone accounted for in Trump's family...have we seen , Baron lately???? Putin must have something....

The only reason Donny is siding with the russians is because putin and his people have something on Donny and Donny Trump doesn't want it to come out because its going to be truly embarassing for Donny, his family and the american people. Mark my words we'll all find out someday.\nReally. They probably have video tape of him

This is why happened when you vote for a fool . Trump is a joke he is not smart man he loves Russian go live with puttin you and your family!!

I'm serious about eating grass, I honestly I can't even afford deodorant at this moment ? ?( but I'm being serious about the deodorant) . My husband and I work and we are a family of 4. We don't get any benefits from the government (medical, or dental or anything) on top of that we still need to save money for an emergency. We pay out of pockets the 14,000 for our kids braces because we don't apply for any help. We pay 600 for lab test for both of my kids , honestly I'm just going to go like big foot and live in the wilderness and I'm not going to shave?‍?

In Europe people are boycotting US products and it’s going to be an escalation in the boycott day after day.. I won’t buy anything from US from today and I bought every car I possessed from America and so did every member of my family because we are fans of this brand I’m not going to mention..

Who cares wqhat girly boy Trudeau has to say. Tell him to go send his troops to steal more gasoline from truck drivers that were using it to keep their families from freezing to death, after showing they were ready to stand in solidarity. How quickly the canadians forget what a dictator looked like when the truckers showed their displeasure. How quickly they are sheep.

Let’s go Canada. Mexico its with you… its time to get united for the good of our people for our families

When do we start talking about the carbon tax this guy is putting on Canadians next month? I believe this is going to do more damage to Canadian families than the tariffs.

The next holidays 2025 my family is not going to spend in US, as done before the years, but we will visit Canada, first time of our life. Best decision ever. Greetings from Austria ??.

You’re damn right the citizens in Canada are going to feel the pain. Your family must had better realize this and set aside your carbon tax for April so we the Canadians are not only going to suffer from the tarrifs but an increase in our taxes. We do not make the kind of money, benefits, pension that all of parliament enjoy and can weather through this.

Wow, a truly impressive speech! Thank you so much for standing up against the bullying Trump-administration. These dangerous clowns are about trying to dismantle democracy and freedom all over the western world.\nMe and my family were planning to visit USA for vacation this summer. After the shameful White House -meeting last Friday these plans were immediately abandoned. We now decided that we are going to Canada instead. \nGreetings from Switzerland

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

Canada has been part of a family with the USA for decades, and to see it all in jeopardy now is appalling. \nNeed I remind our governance here in the US that CANADA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEVERAL ARTICLES OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS (and not because they drafted the resolutions!)?? \nBottom line is Trump is causing a worldwide upheaval that is going to completely realign the power and economies of EVERY nation on earth, and the US is not going to fare well. \nPathetic.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

As an American, I stand 1 million percent with the Canadian people and their government. It's a bummer as our Toronto area Canadian extended family has cancelled their visits to see us. However, we're going to arrange to visit them and meet just over the border in Sarnia this year instead. Win for Canadian tourism loss for US and Michigan.

Get to know the facts b4 you criticize the President. Did you listen to the whole thing. He agreed to sign the deal then when to the presser in the oval office and rejected it after talking to the democrats 2 hrs b4 the meeting. What can you expect from a comedian turned president who stops elections becuz there is a war going on. Now thats a dictator. Zellenski takes 80 billion in usa aid and after 3 years has no intention of ending the war. He lost 25 percent of his urkanin people so far. The usa was backing that comedian and never once said thank you. Zellenski sabotaged the meeting not Trump. Learn your facts b4 you criticized the President. I know trump is evil be uz hes a republican. All democrats are good . This isnt the democratic party I was born and raised on. Obama 5 wars. Biden 4 wars . President Donald J TRUMP 0000000 wars. Learn your facts. Stop hating . Such ignorant uneducated disrespectfully people who get their news from msnbc and cnn. People who dont follow main steam media are uniformed . People who follow msnbc are misinformed. The dems are the cult. Country people are not kkk beer drinking racist. Their values are GOD FAMILY COUNTRY.

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

Wow Canada can go suck it so can Ukraine, and the to rest. All I care about is raising my family. Not yours !!!!!!!

As a foreigner, I am curious, who voted for such a fool to be president. He just posted a meme cryptocurrency and let tens of thousands of people's money go to his family's pockets. This guy should go to jail.

How do I become a Canadian citizen? Seriously I’m going to bring it up with our family

CANADIANS ARE REASONABLE, OUR PRIME MINISTER IS THE LUNATIC.\nJUSTIN WANTS TO KEEP THE WAR GOING IN UKRAINE. TRUMP WANTS IT TO END.\nJUSTIN IS A HOMICIDAL MANIAC. AS FOR A TRADE WAR, THIS IS NOT A TRADE WAR. TRUMP IS BRINGING THE WORK BACK TO NORTH AMERICA. TRUDEAU THE GLOBALIST WANTS TO KEEP MAKING A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP WEALTHY.\nWE PAID 7 % PST BEFORE FREE TRADE. 15 % AFTER.\nTHATS NOT FREE TRADE. CANADIANS NOW PAY CHINAS TARIFFS.\nMULROONEY GAVE BUSH SRS EULOGY. WHO SOLD CANADA OUT TO GLOBALISTS. THE BUSH FAMILY CHASED ROSS PEROT OFF.

Am I dreaming or do we leave on a parallel world\nIt was not long ago I watched the handmaids tale I’m sure I saw jd Vance in there\nWhere is the USA going I am fed up with narcissists ruling our world they popping up everywhere and trump is the worst\nNow I did think that trump may have been the answer to peace not with Elon musk and jd Vance at the helm the real power trump on Friday looked week an old man losing his temper while the son Vance winding him up\nHe should have shut Vance down abit like the godfather with his son\nThe back lash shows that weather we like it or not live in a global world not a war one but an economical one\nSo where do we go well putin is the enemy to his own people I bet if you went round the world and asked young people families do they want to fight no of course not they wake up on morning go to work believe there god have good times where they can they just want fair governments to protect there interests Donald you have got this wrong big time

I just cried watching this. Trump is ripping up the worlds order in Rusias interest. Every FREE Nation will stand up tall against what currently comes from the U.S. Prayers go out to all the U.S. families, who will see it in their bank accounts & grocery prices by now. (Except the MAGA ones)

Thank you, to all our brothers, sisters, friends and allies from around the world. Canada loves and respects all of humanity. Canada supports the rules based societies and international law. We are a loving, compassionate diverse nation that comprises of all nations as citizens from around the world. \n\nYou know us and we know you… we are connected. We look forward to making new friends, strengthening existing ones and we are open to free, fair and peace loving people. \n\nMake no mistake. Our kindness and compassion should not be mistaken for weakness. We are forged from the steel of our earth. We will go over the boards when our friends and families are attacked internally and around the world. \n\nLong Live Canada and Ukraine! Elbows up…

The worst part is it’s the average family household in both Canada & the U.S. that’s going to get hurt the most. This is so shameful. Literally no one wants this trade war.

Don't get it, twisted, Trudeau. You've been screwing Canada over for 9 years, so why do you suddenly care now? You and Carney, and your gimp guilbeault with your carbon tax and doubling of rent and mortgages and groceries has been hurting Canadian families, but now Trump is doing this, and you're acting like a hero or are you just jealous because somebody else is beating on Canadians instead of just you, or is it because it's going to leave you with less of our tax dollars to launder?!

Trump is just a blowhard bully who thinks he’s cool because he’s surrounded himself with the richest people in the world. \n\nHe’s like the nerdy kid in a high school movie who thinks he’s cool because he let the jocks use his house for a party when his parents are away. Except, he doesn’t know that the “cool kids” are going to take advantage of him, raid the liquor cabinet, leave him with the bill for the pizza, and leave the house trashed before they walk away laughing about it. Then mom and dad are going to return with the house in tatters and the kid with Sharpie on his face.\n\nOf course, in reality, Trump is probably pocketing a few million/billion dollars so he and his family can leave the country when it’s all said and done. Trump and his Billionaire Buddies have no desire to make America “great again,” they just want to squeeze the country for every last dollar and leave to another part of the world.

As an American let me say we don’t want this either! That said, go for it Canada! Don’t spare the rod. Maybe, just maybe if Trump blows up our economy and his supporters lose their jobs and homes and families they will finally wake up and see that fat tub is shit in the White House for what he really is.

Fighting with a Canadian is like going to your family reunion and punching your cousin in the nose; neither polite nor sensible. I never met a Canadian I didnt like on my several trips there to hunt and fish.

The rule in Canada is ‘my adult children cannot afford to buy in the neighborhood they grew up in!…housing prices have to go down!\n\nWhat they really mean is they want their next door neighbours to sell THEIR house for $250,000, but still want their own hose to be worth $2.8 million (after paying $135,000 for it in 1985 - like my older sister and her family)….\n\nSorry it doesn’t work that way….oh, and forget about them voting for parties which restrict immigration - if immigration goes down, so will the regular increases in the price of housing….

What a disgrace! Her own family. No one is going to attend your funeral lady.

For 2 decades Canadian cities have had a condo building boom (for non-North Americans, a condo(minium) is a building built by developers with the intent of selling off the apartments individually, instead of the whole building being one large rental property - that's a rental building) with the rather strange peculiarity that the bast majority of those condos are small - studios, one bedroom and one bedroom + den (in North American real estate linguo, a den is a small room without a window). There are some two bedroom apartments, and three+ bedroom apartments are very rare. One of the reasons for this is a general mindset that apartments are for singles, young childless couples and retired empty-nesters, while families are supposed to live in a house of their own. Another reason is that some archaic building codes restrict the type of apartments developers can fit in a building. The result of this is that in a country which certainly does not lack space, there are now tons of small apartments (the demand for which has been going down in many areas), but it's too expensive to afford a larger space to buy (whether a house or one of those rare large apartments) once you want to start a family.

If my country doesn't get housing costs under control they're in serious trouble. The average house in the town I live in is something like 900K and there's basically no local economy. With costs so high I can't afford to start a family. If we keep gaining old folks needing healthcare while keeping housing expenses high and wages low taxes will have to keep going up.\n\nI am not going to continue to pay huge portions of my income for the benefit of the elderly while I can't afford a decent lifestyle. I don't want to but it seems moving to the US or elsewhere is the only option if things continue this way. At list point the local governments are so invested in denying housing permits and abusing zoning laws to prevent housing being built that the only way to fix it would be to strip the provinces and cities of the right to decide their own zoning bylaws. \n\nI want to see a change in the constitution that makes zoning bylaws illegal. There are too many people thinking of their self interest and not of the Nations interest. We deserve to lose the right to decide what can be built in our neighborhoods. We have been abusing this right for too long

Her family loves Mexico more than they love her, so they can go back

Canadian doctors don’t want to communicate with their patients by email or phone because they want us go in person so they will get paid. You cannot call in and ask to repeat a medication either you have to go in and visit them in person so they can get paid. My last visit to my family doctor presented like 8 missed appointments with her and wanted\n me to pay.? I asked where did you generate those from? She claimed the system.?‍♀️ I ended up paying for one only which was a physical app. I knew about and she waved the and still make mi paid.

Im Canadian with a lot of health issues. Many trips to the ER, the longest I have had to wait, was about 15 mins. And if it was real serious, I was seen by a doctor immediately. I hear people complain about wait time, but the problem we have is that many people take advantage of the ER instead of making an apt with their family Dr. So if it's not an emergency and you go to the E.R. you will wait.

Dreamers have to go too. They were brought here illegally. They don’t even bother to learn the language. Many expatriots live in Mexico. They’ll be fine. Why leave family in your country? Go back.

You know how to solve this issue? If they cant wait to go through the process of being legal to cross the border and live in the united states. Allow illegals to join the military. They can earn their rights and get all the paper work taken cared of by their service to this country. If he or she can go through training, serve in the military. Than they should earn the right for himself or herself and even their family rights to live in this country legal.

Make Canada pay to deport them. Also make the illegal migrant criminal pay for their own removal or go to Jail until family members in home country comes up with the money. No more asylum, otherwise the entire world will try and get in.

I work for that orange bike company that you see all in this video which is mainly a bike service for people that are unfortunate enough to get an American job with that being said a lot of my customers that ride my bikes are asylum seekers and most of them already have car permits and come from wealthy families with jobs in their own countries I'm going to just leave it like that.. don't listen to the hype that the media always pushes out

Honestly, I think Russia is one of the few countries left that really stands up for traditional values. They’re all about family, faith, and keeping their culture strong. It’s refreshing to see a country that doesn’t just go along with whatever the West is pushing these days. I feel like the West is so focused on tearing down traditions, whether it’s about family, religion, or even just respecting history.

I live in new york, I pay taxes up the ass, I make a living, taxes kill my income, this is fucking unreal! I pay a fortune for all me and my families needs! But if your a foreigner come on it, my taxes go up, wtf don't voters understand?!

Baaaaugh ha ha,,, please get away from our countries, but if they get cold, frost bitten or freeze....hush, be quiet and know you deserve that because you should not be sneaking Into into anybodies country. Use the energy you used to come to America with your hands out for free stuff, that ended. Why? Use that same energy in your own country and quit being lazy and do all you can to make it a better & nicer place for you & your family. Talk to your own government, just like you come here to our government begging with no pride or dignity. Well go back to your own country and talk or make appointments to talk to your home country, ask them what they can do for you and your family but also ask, what YOU can do to even make your community's a better place? mow lawns, plant a lawn,paint or work on houses,, help turn in criminals, if your williing to Chancee freezing to death, to come to America, don't do that because we the taxpayers are stuck disposing of dead bodies, but then again it might be cheaper then you being here alive, both ways, your not wanted or respected dead or alive . Stay Away, go home and make changes.

Return them all to Trudeaus' family compound... Don't I have to have a passport to go to-and-from Canada ?

These people are saying that they will support and defend these immigrants because this administration is dividing us? You people should be ashamed of yourselves, because if there’s someone really dividing this nation, it’s not the Trump administration; but you guys who choose to go against your own people, in favor of illegal immigrants. You are clearly the one dividing this nation. We were doing fine, until your party decided to overload us with all these illegal immigrants. \nDon’t get me wrong. I have no objection for any person to enter this country legally, but when you’re hurting our people, disobeying our laws, and even raping and killing US citizens; then I will not support that. If you want someone to blame, then you should blame Biden, George Soros, the U. N., and the far left radical woke party. They’re the ones responsible for this mess. Of course they will deny it, but that’s alright; because Trump it’s going to force the law on the books, and those who oppose them, will find themselves walking in hot coals. You know who I feel bad for? For the unaccounted children, that don’t know any better; and were sent alone by their parents or family members. What kind of parent will do this to a kid? Not a very good person, I’m sure. I pray that we do find these missing children, and that all those that are trying to make it legally into this country; will be accepted.

I am a white Canadian have family and friends in the USA and I tried to move to the usa back in the early 2000's because I had a job could not do it because I was not allowed but it seems if you are other then white it is so much easier and everyone said I should go now because Trudeau is a dictator and that I am a law abiding Conservative that wants to leave Canada because our PM is nothing but a POS Liberal that is robbing the hard working real Canadians and cutting us off of having a good job because of DEI. They want blacks and browns to have all the high paying jobs while the rest of us get shafted into working for Min Wage or a little bit above while we get taxed to death. and if you look at all the homeless in Canada it's all white people and nothing but it's like the scumbag Liberals want the whites to live homeless or just scrapping to get by below the poverty line. It's really sad that this Country is going this way and wish Trump would come here and just clean out the liberals and Woke POS and send them to live on some abandon Island allong with the criminal Illegals because I am so sick of the BS. The Illegals are taking right over and they are the ones that are killing the people off with the drugs too.

Your compassion has lead to terrible consequences for immigrants and citizens alike. Decriminalizing hard drugs has lead to a rise in homelessness, overdoses, and theft/prostitution to make money to support those habits. These conditions also leave populations susceptible to outbreaks of disease that US healthcare is ill-equipped to deal with. Unregulated immigration results in gangs taking control of both the illegal immigrants and the communities they settle in. Trafficked immigrants are forced to work for the gangs or their families back in their home countries will be harmed. Because of sanctuary cities, law enforcement can't go after the gangs so the other illegal immigrants have no recourse.\n\nTLDR: Regulated, legal immigration creates opportunities for both immigrants and the host country. Unregulated illegal immigration harms both immigrants and the host country. Laws exist for a reason.

1. Britishers belonged to Britain yet they captured america, killed natives and put a name Canada.\n2. The same British invaded already oppressed Indians for centuries and looted our country.\n3. Due to colonialism we learned English and now trying to overcome our poverty (created by British) by finding opportunity and living peacefully.\n4. You should be rather happy that Indians are living here. Not cruel and terrorising muslims. They have option to go back to homeland given oppression.\n5. As an Indian i will never live elsewhere only if i had to feed my family then might else never! So be grateful and remember your past!

American is 178th in the world for 'Infant Mortality'. Do you know this appalling fact? This tells me that Women can not access affordable Healthcare during pregnancy. And nothing has been done about it in decades. For a supposedly democratic society, not the political party, this is tantamount to genocide for the poorest American women and babies. And one in eight pregnancies have life threatening complications,. As Abortion has been banned in 38 States, with the fall of 'Wade and Roe' women are dieing, today in the States for a lack of proper healthcare. Trump has 'removing Birth Control' for all American women as the third item on Project 2025. This will build his Standing Army in 18 years, of unaffordable children, as indoctrinated disposable Soldiers or will make one of his Oligark Pals very wealthy, due to the lucrative Adoption business in America.. He is also, with his flurry of illegal Presidential Orders, skipping ratification by Congress, is bringing in a 'Family Vote' by the husband, for every woman who took her husband name at marriage,, 85% of women in America, will effectively be instantly disenfranchised. Keep the little woman home and pregnant, effectively unable to start businesses or get involved in politics. Now they want to 'check on' the Gold in Fort Knox. Can you imagine what will happen to that gold when the man with gold faucets in his home lays eyes on it? Just asking. Now that he has granted his wealthy friends $ 3.5 Trillion in tax breaks, in the first 3 weeks in office. Be aware of the goings on in the Oval Office. He has already stifled the Press. Hitler's methods of destroying a formerly democratic society. He is doing All these methods, and quickly. Look up 'Ask an AI how would you destroy America'... It is chilling.
