Well Drugs has always been drugs, the war against them will never end ??‍♀️, but being aware and making plans to see it makes the difference. We can only change the things we can, I am TOO ELATED ON HOW Prime Minister is holding his own. Keep swinging boo! ❤???

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

Socks is dead man walking, he wont be PM by the end of the month

It’s about narcissistic personality disorder. End of analysis.

Trudeau ended on a high note. Respect!

Its time, the whole World needs to stop, re-think, and take measures to end wars. Get together and stop any entity from continuing to do harm to any human being all around the world. Come on, Make this World a Better Place to live in. Take a stand against all evil around the world.

This is the sort of clear minded speech I love to hear. Direct, truthful and aimed at the people who are going to end up most hurt by all of this - the Americans themselves. Europe as always, is wishy washy. Appease, appease, appease, and while Starmer behaved in a diplomatically correct way, as usual he is all smoke and mirrors. No substance to him at all.

50% tariffs on all things Canadian. Let them cut the power. Build to deal with it. Will pay more for gas and electric to see the end of canadian rape of America.

He just threatened Donald Trump and schmoozed in his face that he's aligning with Russia and Putin. Do you really think Canada that it's going to end well for you? I don't think so

Very good news is❓❓ against Canadian government?? and trudo (interfere with indian) TERERISM ???) Now Canada???? will stopped at the end

Tarriff increment doesn't affect the targeted country, it usually ends up affecting the citizens of the country that imposes the tariff. Americans will experience more inflation as a result of this crazy tarriff increment.

WE ALL GOING TO END UP WITHOUT TEETH AND one-eyed ?

Dont put Tariffs on the USA as they are passed onto the end user/consumer which are the American people. Put the prices up on your sale of electricity, oil and gas 25% that the US government buys, so it hits them first and they will think twice. ..... Trump never mentioned cost of living in his acceptance speech which had us wondering. This is why.

I think these tariffs/only America and America first policies will be the downfall of Trumps administration and the US economy/influence around the world. We are only driving allies away while bringing inflation/pain to our people. If DOGE isn’t enough to save our debt crisis, this is the start of the end of the US's #1 standing in the world.

A prolonged trade war with Canada will will smash the US economy. A prolonged trade war with Canada, Mexico, China and Europe, will END the US economy.\n\nPS: Dear Americans, your President is trying to ruin the market value of your country so him and his friends can buy it on the cheap...

Just yesterday TSMC announced $100B investment in Arizona. I think we'll prevail in the end. This guy doesn't care about Americans or Canadians. He only cares about himself. What bothers us most is that we are being force-fed this nonsense by CNN as if it were legitimate.

This won’t end well for Canada

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

Trudeau screwed Canadians & they couldn’t wait to get him out of office!! \nCanada is broke and can’t afford 25% tariffs. All Canada has to do is open business in USA!\nMade in the USA ?? \nCanada gave 20billion to Ukraine vs USA giving over 150 billion plus militaryequipment equipment. Ukraine realizes Trump was right, The WAR needs to end. ????????????

Every year 20 million Canadian travel to USA and that will stop soon and USA hotels and small businesses and airlines lose about 17 billion dollars just there, At the end USA will lose more than Canadian, Trump bows down for Putin but stab Canada and Mexico from back.

I’ve strong feeling that this will end with trump scraping the tariffs . Then doing a deal with the Ukrainian government. And carving up their resources between \nFrance,the USA and the uk . We’re all being gaslighted in my humble opinion.

What exactly did Trudeau do against Fentanyl in Canada? He could've ended the entire countries homelessness and created drug rehab facilities for everyone with the amount of money he sent to Ukraine. He probably could've used the military equipment that was shipped to patrol the border and prevent more of the drug entering the country.

trump is opening up the us markets for russia by getting rid of their competitors, in preparation for ending sanctions and re-starting trade.

I'm sorry to break the news to everybody, but if we end up in world war III we need russia on our side. Plain and simple. NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT.

Many of us did not vote for this idiot and we tried to tell those who did what they were getting . A lying fraudster and rapist and first of all con man liar. We were shocked as many of you Canadian people. Because of our constitution we have to win three more seats in our congress in order to impeach him. He has hurt many people here by cutting healthcare and even our money. I am on legal fentanyl and ending this medication would kill me. I agree illegal fentanyl should be stopped it’s a very dangerous drug in the wrong hands.

The end goal?

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

Every empire comes to an end, remember the Roman empire.

Who opened the border to those who came to Canada in the name of student and ended up to the U.S.? Now you feel the pain of this kind of war but why you did help them arrest Huawei's princess? You should step down and give the next leader opportunity to handle this situation. Trump won't make deal with you.

OMG, I’m American, let’s hope this ends in 4 years or sooner. Can Americans visit Canada anymore? ?

Goodbye america - the beginning of the end.

As a Canadian I want to wipe my rear end with the stars and stripes flag! i've had enough of these yanks! ~ Noah from Halifax

OMG in my 52 years never heard anything like this - fkn A - see you fellow americans in the ditches - this isn't gonna end good at all - on all fronts ( not only with Canada) - HOOVERVILLE HERE WE COME !!! - then will come WW3 ! - beautiful.......

From Holland, we stand by the Canadians! ❤\nHow on earth could sensible US Republicans have voted for this imbecile? \nThis presidency will end in history as the start of the downfall of the US free world leadership.

Trump is playing right into Putin's hands obviously has never read a history book or two look at America's stance at the end of World War II and we've been fighting against the Russians ever since they are not America's friend

It is interesting to see how many people believe they are right supporting Trudeau (and Selensky) and not realizing they are too dumb to understand the whole picture. USA can be happy to have a president who finally ends the big Deep State scam against the own taxpaying people. UK, Canada, France, Germany etc. should also have such leaders to save the people from betrayal by elites and Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels.

Canadians are united ?. America is divided. As a matter of fact every country in the world is united but America is divided, this isn’t going to end well for someone.

Let see who is laughing at the end.

Go Canada! Be tough on America. America deserves NO sympathy. I'm sorry. Most Americans are sorry about this situation. I hate the orange troll and I'm just as angry at the people that voted for him. But, I don't think even they thought he would do this and probably trusted the Congress to stop these things. But, the Republican side of Congress is made up of cowards. This will hurt America. I just hope in the end, this will make America better because people will realize the consequences of their stupidity. And stop electing spineless and evil representatives.

Even before the actions taken by Canada, one should look at balance of Fentanyl illegal trade. \n \nOn average 46 lb of Fentanyl were smuggled from Canada to US , which divided by the population of the US comes to a 0.049 mg of fentanyl per US Citizen \nOn the other direction, 950 lb Fentanyl were smugeled from the from US to Canada, which when divided by the population of Canada, ends up being 10.88 mg of fentanyl per Canadian Citizen\nNow, scientists say 2 mg is a lethal dose. \nJust think about it, trump's US could kill each Canadian 5 times over by Fentanyl. \nSo who is supposed to be pissed?

Why bother showing? Baby Trudeau is unpopular and out by end of month!! ?

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

It's gonna hurt all of us. : ( The economy was coming back around since Covid. By the end of 2024, I felt it and was feeling optimistic I can't believe this is happening now. Ugh.

Greetings from Sydney, Australia ?? \n\nAustralia stands with our Canadian cousins against this “dumb” trade war.\n\nLet us hope Trump comes to his senses and ends it.

EEUU If carry on like this will end up alone.Be strong Canada.Europe with you ❤

I mean he’s certainly well spoken Im sure we all can agree but factual….not so much. People do your research on Chinese Triad gang members buying up real estate in Vancouver to launder money from drug sales. There is no doubt a growing problem in Canada that is impacting the US. By the numbers Canada illegal border crossings and Fentanyl crossing volume might pale in comparison to Mexico but it’s important to note that it’s still a rising problem they’ve yet to fully understand. Look at how much of the Northern US border is unguarded compared to the southern border. This tariff war between the US and Canada is no doubt a problem but Canada is absolutely a part of the reason it exists. In the end please remember there’s always two sides to every story and mainstream media is anything but objective when it comes to how they cover them.

Scotland calling. The US is rapidly losing all its friends across the world…..apart from your brand new friend Russia. Anti-American sentiment is spreading like wildfire, everyone is turning against the US. Is this what you want? Are you proud of your country right now? Are you going to sit back and watch this happen? Every bully eventually ends up alone

Remember guys at the end of the day all these tariffs don’t affect Mr Treadu. It affects you. Remember why we fought over a 2% tax in 1776 now we sit in our couch and see the tax price keep rising and y’all sit there and do nothing. They will suck you dry until you no longer have a right.

No one wants to be a American here there nuts shame o. You Republicans and in the end you will be out of office you. Don't belong there free trade is the best trade Canada Americans are on your side corruption has taken power here

Here's my issue with Trudeau ...you now placed your country in a position where this becomes a game of tariff chicken. This won't end well for Canada no matter what tariffs you try to envoke to counter Trump. The U.S. aren't dependent on Canada. So, what is your real endgame here matching the tariffs? Is that what the people of Canada really want to get into? Doesn't seem smart to me. It just looks like a lazy game of posturing trying impose some front like the U.S. need to back down from Canada. What a joke.
