Has it not occured to anyone to mention the the flow of illigal migrants does not flow south from Canada but more are trying to get into Canada from the US.

America has been getting ripped off for years and the world economy was running perfectly with that plan. Now we are trying to write anew and everyone is losing their minds!

I live in Vancouver and it has the largest open air drug market in North America. I can't recall Trudeau ever speaking about the Fentanyl pandemic so frequently. I worked with NPO's when they declared a public health emergency...hundreds were dying a month, and it seemed at the time that there was so little dialogue due to fear of public backlash for taking a stance on this issue.\n\nI'm not trying to get on a soap box here...but I'm just shocked. I could have given Trudeau a 5 minute drive through main and hastings in my 1998 RAV4 to show him how bad it is, and was...I wonder if he would have opened up this much?

Canada won't back down at all they never did during the oppressive mandates they formed the trucker convoys and put a stop to that madness the U.S never did anything like that. Trump is just a terrible leader all he has done since in power is attack allies its not like he went after any of the people that were trying to get him convicted, this moronn as soon as he was voted into power he attacked Canada his closest ally ridiculous, I'm beginning to think Trump is an agent of some kind based on his actions so so retarded his actions.

Do you think Trump is surprised by this? He's 10 steps ahead of all of you. He has plans for whatever you try to do. Either way you lose. All of you people better get it together and come on over to the winning team and help fix things. If you don't you're just a psycho left fool and you're whole group is dwindling fast. And you can't trust each other so be first before your friends throw you under the bus. Or don't. Lol.

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

I’m sooo tired of foreign leaders say Trump is aligning with Putin! He never said that! Americans know he is trying to help make peace between Ukraine and Russia to end a war which is also in Canada and the rest of the world’s best interests! I hate the deceptive media! Canada, we are in debt up to our eyeballs and won’t be able to remain a nation without hard monetary choices but to say Trump aliegns with Putin is a cheap shot to get away with what you do now.

Justine trying to get tough with Trump is hilarious. Trust me...everyone loves our money. That is why everyone buckles. Dems only care is that men are allowed to wear a dress

God Bless our beautiful Country Canada ?? ? Canada is NOT for sale. This is what he wants and will NEVER get. The lies, greed, arrogance and trying to build an empire will backfire. Sad, the hard working and vulnerable Americans will feel the PAIN....NOT the rich and privileged.

Wow, you start pointing fingers at leaders of other countries yet nothing about the genocide leader of that other country? You sound like such a whiny pathetic leader, no wonder your country hates you. Stop trying to scare us the common folks, deal with the problem directly with the US fascist but he has zero respect for you. How did both you & ? get elected ?

Its a rough time to be an American and its only gonna get worse for yall. Starting wars with your allies while trying to make friends with Putin will not end well. Good luck!!

Come on bro you know that Joe Biden is the one that hurt this country with what he let you and every other country get away with against the American people a lot of us woke up we voted for Trump there's a mandate you can talk crap and try to lie all you want that's what you liberals do but we know better I stand with Trump

trump is trying so hard to get impeached

Why is the USA disallowed from doing what is best for the USA? Not everything is an attack if we are trying to take care of ourselves first. Get over yourself, Justin.

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.

Sorry but Trudeau doesn't speak for this Canadian all B,S. To me after working for 44 years and he giving taxpayer money away to people who didn't pay a dime in Canada getting more then me sad help ok but not giving it away for nothing and then trying to change our ways

Those US citizens who did not vote for tRump and we support Canada. My husband is a retired Airborne Ranger who worked cooperatively with military personnel from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, and other democratic countries around the world. We are just sick about how tRump has treated our allies. He is a bully and a draft dodging coward. We don’t blame any of our NATO allies who apply pressure through tariffs, etc to give tRump the consequences he deserves for his bad behavior. He is hurting the US country and its citizens, being cruel to their people lower income US citizens. Middle and lower class US citizens are going to be suffering under his US as he is trying to get rid of every program that helps us live with dignity. He is hurting our farmers. We know that he is a narcissistic psychopath. Most of us can’t wait until he and JD Vance are out of office, and hopefully in prison. They don’t care how many US citizens they hurt with their greedy megalomaniac agenda. We are sorry that our administration is being so unreasonable and hope you can forgive the rest of the US citizens that never wanted this situation with you and our other NATO allies.

America…you’re getting taxed on all sides - Canada, China, and Mexico. These retaliatory tariffs are very strategic as well to hit you where it hurts the most. Your farms and food supplies are also going to get hit by lack of workers. I’m so worried for you. Fight back! This man is trying to destroy your country. Follow the money - where it’s being taken from (jobs, Medicaid, etc) and where it’s going TO (tax cuts for most wealthy, contracts for billionaires). The SAVE Act is trying to make it very difficult for minorities and WOMEN to vote. They are trying to basically take over so they can’t be put out of power, only the wealthy get educated properly, the poor go to military service, and they may even start looking at invading other countries. Why create conflict with Canada? To start the narrative that we are evil…and that we must be “protected”. It’s all there, America!! Please wake up!!!

So yesterday zelinsky on a show in his country and it's on YouTube, he said that NATO has to protect Ukraine and US military soldiers men and women have to be in Ukraine fighting for Ukraine and getting killed, that's never going to happy you ignorance stupid Benedict Arnold, at lease the real one tried to sell west point you , ????????

We've tried telling them, hopefully you can get through to them. These idiots believe that ONLY the companies will be incurring the cost, NOT THE END CONSUMERS. Trump loves the uneducated!

I think Trump is trying to get people and govts back for what they did to him.

Trudeau took pains to distinguish between everyday decent Americans just trying to get by and their unhinged government which is leading them into economic and political ruin. As a Canadian who has traveled extensively in the US, and has friends there, I hope American citizens can save themselves.

We're getting so close to Jehovah's kingdom!!! As bad as it is and will get a lot worse because we are still under the god of this wicked system is Satan the devil. Jehovah has allowed men 6 thousand years fo try and rule over themselves. Everyone can see what a disaster it's been. God's kingdom with Jesus Christ as our king will rule with love and provide real peace and security !!!!

It isn't about Putin! TRUMP IS TRYING TO BE PUTIN. He's trying to crash Canada's economy so oligarchs can swoop in. JFC I cannot believe no one gets this! You people aren't in the same park much less observing the playing field!

I think this is an initial step of Trump trying to get Canada’s natural resources. I don’t know how it would play out, but that’s the only thing I can make sense of based on Trump’s broader actions and comments.

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

We want Canada in the EU ( European Union ). No problem about the name, we´ve already changed it a few times. We can rename it Union of the Free.\nBy the way, Russia, Alaska was part of Russia, you have to try to get Alaska back. We´ve already bought pop corn, let´s start the show.

you are a dictator ,they are trying to get rid of you !!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it....if Fentanyl gets in through our border isn't it our border failure? Canada can try to stop fentanyl getting into their country, but why do they have to stop it from getting into our country?

Give no sympathy to those who voted for a rapist, pedifile, convicted FELON. I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM, I tried to tell them that did, they refused to listen, now they have to get him out. SORRY YOU ARE TALKING TO A CONVICTED FELON WHO DOES NOT CARE!!!

Sir Kier starmer the British prime minster spoke up for Canada in his press conference with president trump and the president shut him down..enough he said! Trump is trying to run the world like a business. It doesn't work like that. He's trying to move too fast and needs to slow down. So he's getting frustrated.

What tariffs have to do with Trump being getting closer to great President Putin.\nThe best thing Trump did was that he told the truth to the world about the WAR in Ukraine. You people tried to destroy Russia in fact you the west has destroyed European economies ????. But the shameful West has no shame.

Awh!! Look what Donnie the clown did for you Americans!! Hopefully you’re happy for what you voted for because you’re getting exactly what you deserved maybe try listening or try thinking outside of the box!! being a Democrat or even a Republican doesn’t do shit for you as you can clearly see

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

Trump is trying to destroy the US and we need to get him out of office.

Trump is not working with Putin. He has tried to get both Russia and the Ukraine to set down and talk and end the war. Trump has been doing this because the US has been taken advantage of all countries. So get your facts straight.

OH, NOW THE GOVERNOR OF CANADA HAS A LOT TO SAY. HOW ABOUT STARTING OFF WITH? I KNOW WE 0 300 MILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR TO AMERICA. LET'S START TRYING TO PAY THAT BACK AND GET BACK ON THE RIGHT TARIFF ROAD... THAT'S THE MOST I'VE HEARD THIS MAN TALK, OTHERWISE HE'S ALWAYS TALKING BLAH, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.TYPICAL LIBERAL

Just understand Americans you voted in a celebrity as your president you all knew he had no background for the job you all have souled your souls you have strayed away from God you all want the easy way out the shortcuts you all thought that voting him in would make everything easier would cut cost on everything but you we're wrong because God himself will not let you eacape your sins no matter how far you try to run no matter who you think you can bring in to get shortcuts God will not allow and its sad because trump wont hurt for this or pay for it no but the hard working Americans the ones who make this country Go not trump or any of his friends and all of those who believe in him and his agenda who will not be in heaven Amen

Not personel just buisness. No we are not. We are trying to get the tyrant (putin to the table) EU is weak and we are the only ones who can solve this war. Yet NONE of you even tried while Biden was in office. This will enable us to produce these goods at home and you as well. No need to import export everything. You will come out well too. Its the game you all are playing.

The only conclusion i could get to with this madness is Trump and the technocrats are trying to passively kill off the lower class people and turn the middle class into the new lower class.

Anyone who ever was a victim of bullying understands exactly what is going on and how it will end for those who wants to appease/bend to the bully. Yes, it will be painful for Canada, extremely. But you have to get really sick in order to recover stronger than ever before. Zelensky knew the inner workings of how bullies work so he probably knew the white house meeting won't end cordially especially it is occupied by people he has no love for and he understood the lack of love was mutual. I think he'd bent over and wagged his tail if he thought that'd help his nation but knowing that will not get his country anywhere anyways, why would he bend over and try to please someone who was determined to screw him and his country to begin with. Zelensky saw how Canadian prime minister was treated and how he tried to please Mr. T yet to no avail. Yes, Zelensky has no real good, readily available cards to play. If the game is rigged, no reason to play by your rule, is there?

Trying to get out here boys im going to Italy

As an Australian who was born, raised, and has returned to VicDanistan... It's been a humiliating few years.\n\nBut when that same man's story has the added context of the fact that I happen to be here as a result of the path my (late) father took, coming here from Thunder Bay Ontario... The region our family had been in since the 17th century... and ironically live in Canadian, Victoria (so named due to the unknown Canadian killed in the Eureka Stockade).\n\nWhen I consider all that, it often feels as though the simulation is just trying to make jokes. \n\nBut I can assure you, it's not a life story that's easy to get behind, or laugh at. The maple leaf or even the southern cross are no star spangled banner, not in this current year, that's for sure.

And instead of focusing and resolving these issues their government is trying to demean India so that it's citizens get distracted and the real issues will get overlooked

Rules have to apply same to everyone. If these fake students will get away with fraud, million more will come to try the same. They should have to follow immigration rules and law and if immigration tells them that they are not eligible, then they have to go back and prepare better or try somewhere else or work at home.

Was that Trump trying to get free pizza and abusing the delivery guy?

So while you ‘push’ and try to remove the weight. Children trying to escape are dying, when a building is on fire do you try to put it out or get the people out first?

Recent military retiree here. I've had to endure quite some time of my military service walking on eggshells because one of these snowflakes might get offended. I'm here to say sorry, but I need Soldiers focused on engaging and destroying the enemy. Not worried about using correct pronouns. Trans has no place in the military. Live however you want in your own home. Stop trying to make everyone around you engage in your fantasy. Catering to Service Members with a known mental illness does not increase our lethality as a fighting force. It is directly detrimental to that.

Yall are destroying everything here and y'all are really trying to cry about yall being discriminated? Lol please I know arabs and muslims are the fakest people but please stop playing. Y'all get what yall are looking for.
