The lady in pink was talking about Trudeau resigning and how we are gonna be effected and she got interrupted over nothing

Says the moron whose entire country wants him to resign. His words mean absolutely nothing given his atrocious record.

The new global bully, the USA making demands of other countries all over the planet. What is the US offering in return - Nothing. Only Chaos.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl and everything to do with Trump stealing your country.

Trump is nothing but a screaming spoil brat, mentaly sick kid screwing the world over

The problem with Trudeau, is that he bluffs real hard about:\n- the US being dependent in Canada.\n- Canada's trade with the US for the past decades is nothing but just an act of friendly favour to the US.\n- That the US lifeline hangs in the charitable hands of Canada.\n------\nWell, in reality though, this is not the case.\nThe coming weeks, months, and years will speak by themselves.

God Bless Donald Trump !! The Greatest President Ever !!! KEEP THE TARIFF’S UP !!! They had a choice and they chose to Do Nothing !!!

Tmusk can not help but create chaos ....... Russia alliance is for TMusk and other beneficiaries....we have dealt with TMusk and coward republicans for 12 years now. Half of our country did not vote for these criminals. Nothing you do, friend, will change their madness. Take care of you.

It appears like Trump is working FOR Russia. His stupid actions are doing nothing but weakening this country.

As a good friend of a bully You sent your kids to be killed in wars they have nothing to do with, killing millions of innocents ,displaying millions , shall we feel sorry for you ?

This is a move Trump himself didn't even want to take. He was forced to do so by the American energy sector. Trump wants america to become completely free of any foreign dependence. The only thing Canada has that the United States depends on is their energy for the Northern US. Trump has slashed regulations and opened land for American companies to start drilling and providing their own energy to the US. They decided against it for record profits. This will for e them to start drilling in the US by making it cheaper than getting energy from Canada. This has nothing to do with Russia. If it did, the US could get all the cheap oil and natural gas as he wants. Putin would give it to the US for free. Trump could careless about Russia or Putin. He wants american energy companys to start doing their jobs and provide energy to the american people at a reasonable cost. But all they are worried about is their record profits.

Trump is absolutely destroying America as the world knows it, if that tyrant is not reined in, the people will suffer immensely, this is nothing but a manufactured crisis used as a tactic to demonstrate their power, and then solve it and become the savior of the people. Trump is the symbol in which the ultra wealthy elite and the fascists have concentrated their efforts, he’s a puppet of that oligarchy and someone who is subjected to a very obscure tie to Putin. What kind of information does Putin hold to exert that amount of influence over Trump? It must be something bigger than Trump’s mere admiration of his autocratic power…

I regret immigrating to Canada ? why. Just why does he have to do this. Is trump dying and that’s why he wanted chaos? Is he crazy? Does he have nothing else to do? What does he want to achieve? He wants to be allies with Russia? And then what. Fight china?

Canada and Mexico did nothing for four years , to little to late. 100.000 per year dead. They live under the umbrella of America, nothing to fear. F em

Fentanyl was around in 2005 killed a best friend of mine but nothing like this someone has tried to flood us and kill us. They been using drugs destroy us forever ?

NOTHING will ever be enough for the Dumb FELON!! HE PLAYS GAMES LIKE A CHILD!!!

They are all caught trap by the Ukraine propaganda!! Think about why and how war start!! Think about the past admin of US giving tons of budget to Ukraine without anything in return!! That was an American tax Money that just wants to take back. The comedian President of Ukraine rally for the money support and nothing in return?? This must be stop because American people will be in the edge of losing!! Step out of American soil if you don’t defend the nations interest!!!

Trump is a joke but nobody is laughing. Trudeau puts Trump to shame. This is why Canada is respected, while Trump is regarded as a bully and a petulant child who is intent on hurting his friend to impress another bigger bully. The people of the US are most at risk and hopefully will eventually realise that Trump is the problem and not the answer. He is driving the US economy into the ground just to appease Putin. It makes you wonder what information Putin has about Trump that he is holding over Trump's head? This fiasco is making Trump look like a weak fool who cares nothing for what pain the US people will suffer. He is rich and therefore he and his billionaire friends will not feel the pain he is happy to inflict on others.

Quit calling it a war Trudeau, they just showed us that they are taking care of themselves...trump will provide americans with what they need... You however have done nothing but take from us canadians..you made our country a drug pit..just drive thru any small to bc towns and look at how many more drug addicts are wandering the streets..10x more since your new drug laws...you give our money away, and how did you get so rich when you gov. Pay heck is only a specific amount?...you soend more canadian tax payers money on a two week vacation that what two average canadian house holds make in a year...rent is outrageous, inflation has put people in the poor house, and in the very end your ego is trying to look good just so you can go off into the rest of your life in your own delusion...go away man. Why dont you support us canadians by accepting the new financial hike and get us on to making momey in different ways...quit complaining and quit trying to get us into a war...when someone puts crap on me, i dont let them own me any further, i just cut them off and get on to living by rolling up my sleeves and doing the work... Trudeau, your just a politician who failed us, quit using the priminister position to make thinhs worse for canada...youve proven that you really dont care about canada, and that you have gotten rich by pocketing taz payers money...go away man...canadians, do fall into the spin doctor media war creating wimpering crap..lets get the right person in seat, manufacture what we need to, rebuild the military that we use to have, and get rid of the liberal party...truedau has done worse to us than usa has...

They are all caught trap by the Ukraine propaganda!! Think about why and how war start!! Think about the past admin of US giving tons of budget to Ukraine without anything in return!! That was an American tax Money that just wants to take back. The comedian President of Ukraine rally for the money support and nothing in return?? This must be stop because American people will be in the edge of losing!!

The tariffs have nothing to do with border security. Trump ,in his supreme unintelligence, believes that he can replace income taxes with tariffs. Like they did in the late 1800's. He'll try anything other than making the 1% pay their fair share of taxes.

Bring it on ya pansies!! We ain’t scared if no canadiens. You can’t fight your way out of wet paper bag!! You ain’t hurting nothing! Can’t wait till yall become the 51st state ?

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

This just shows you how desperate and scared Canada is. We don’t need anything from Canada. This just clearly shows that without America Canada is nothing.

Trudeau is just hurting his own people, but I guess thats nothing new at this point. Candadian inflation will go up and America will not be greatly effected. If anything we can just import those same goods from somewhere else at a better price. Countries around the world are lining up to take these contracts as we speak.

trump stated yesterday he was implementing tariffs because canada is stealing americann jobs and americas money. nothing about drugs. its not about that. he just wants to destroy everyone elses economy. he is destruction

Trudeau is a double agent two-faced scumbag liar and nothing that he is saying is truen

Let’s goo Trump we in for some serious entertainment ? why don’t you state how Canada pays less for US goods compared to the other way around. People act like Trump is doing this for no reason ? especially liberals who know nothing and I’m saying this as a moderate

Turn off the lights in America! It can be done….Canada provides electricity to most of northern America. Every crisis in America has been helped by Canadians. Canada sends linesmen down to help repair power lines after storms. Canada will always help us, don’t doubt it. Trump and Vance r complete idiots. If Trump and Vance are in power for much longer, I can see the devil rising because Trump and Vance are Demons. I’m a 60 year-old disabled woman and if I could I would fly to the Ukraine and help them because my country is doing nothing only upholding Putin!

You are nothing MF. Don’t play with USA ??.

The lying murderous dictator is Trudeau and Zelenski. As a Canadian I can say Trump owes us nothing. Our clowns in government disrespected America and this is what it is. They will only use the tariffs to screw us. Trumps will help America.

Well done for speaking so articulately and intelligently nothing but respect for Canada from Scotland❤

Lol we need nothing from Canada

As an American, I am embarrassed by our leadership. Presidents like Trudeau and Zelensky are men to look up to. They may not be perfect, but they remain strong and confident in the face of the tyranny of Trump and Putin. I live an hour from the Canadian border, and they have been nothing but kind and amazing every time I've ever visited. My support is with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. It is a dark and embarrassing time to be an American.

It's hilarious that so many people think speech means anything.. \nOh, did you write Trump a nasty letter? Oh no whatever will Trump do? \nIt sucks being a Democrat these days. (To be clear, I am a Democrat who is very disappointed with Democrats who do nothing and think that talking is going to do anything)

Canada is a joke. We need to invade it and just take it from them. They don't wanna play we won't pull security for you anymore. Canada doesn't offer nothing to the U.S.

Trudeau doesn't give 2 sh_t about the canadian working class, he's a laurentian elite, just setting up his predecessor, keep talking and do nothing as always. Can't wait till carbon tax boy gets lost next week

Trumps orders from Putin is to cause chaos, drive a stake between our friendly democracies and to break NATO. It has nothing to do with what Trump says, it has nothing to do with fentanyl!! Putin is calling the shots don’t you believe in anything else!!

I see this as nothing less than Trump wanting to do to Canada a slightly more palatable version of what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Trump has openly said he wants Canada to become the 51st state, even though this is a huge ask as Canada has a population larger than any US state (California is close in population size), Canada has a land mass nearly the size of the US and, including water mass, Canada has a larger overall area than the US. Trump also wants Iceland to be owned by America. He has become power crazy during a war because this is his only chance to stoke his ego to undreamable levels. Trump wants to be America's Putin.

Fentanyl, immigration, and tariffs are just an excuse for Trump. He wants to take over Canada, Panama, and the Greenland for the economic benefits they bring to the USA, nothing more.

This Trump buffoon proves to us that there is no point in giving him anything. He takes the money and gives nothing in exchange: isn't that a thief?

An excellent speach. Im sorry to say that nothing is ever enough for the orange dictator!

Keep your crap. I don't eat bacon, i don't drink your water. Canada and your overzealous gun laws can freeze in the ice-cold mountain. All you have done is nothing but cry like a child.

It's not like some of us didn't see it coming. Better gear up. We ain't seen NOTHING yet.

Canada is an amazing country, this is nonsense that shouldn’t be taking place. Nothing but immature nonsense.

Why don't the entire world outlaw the sales of ANYTHING of Elon Musks? Tesla, Space X, no X, nothing that has anything to do with him.

I have heard many people call Trump many things. Accusing him of being smart is probably the most off base thing I've ever heard anybody say about him? There is nothing smart about idiot Trump

I'm from the UK and I stand with Canada. America should be absolutely ashamed of their president. Trump treats friendly countries like this, then rolls over and becomes nothing but Putin's little bitch. Trump is pathetic and Americans are disgraced by him and his lies.

Trudope is a sally - Nobody wants this idiot running their country neither. Just like busted up Biden. PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE CLOWN - You have your own people already not able to afford much do to your own destructive policies. Fix it !! Saying your doing everything necessary but actually doing nothing and haven't since you been there.

Dumbass Donald has never been concerned about anyone or anything but himself. He knows nothing and he IS nothing! \nHe is nothing but a creation of his father Fred Trump and the evil Roy Cohn. He squeaked in with less than two percent \nof the vote. If Wolf Blitzer is from Buffalo NY he should come up to Ottawa and see for himself. Its nice this time of year!
