Canada! We didn't want Trump. It was a mistake. Forgive us. Help us fix this! I love you Canada.

Trudeau must be smoking cheap stuff.\n\nWhen will this clown stop talking and get back to his fix.

As a Canadian, I stand with America. Let's just fix this

Like most Canadians, I hate Trudeau and can't wait for him to be gone, and hopefully in jail for what he did to this country\nBUT\nThat was a pretty good speech. Hopefully Pierre Polievre will be able to fix all this stupid.\n\nELBOWS UP!

And justin is lying 100 ????? trump said if they help and do a border fix they wouldnt be charged the 25 percent welp he didnt and now there getting 25 percent lol people are so dumb

How is this gonna hurt Americans is he stupid really, he more scared hurting then we are and also maybe they need to fix the bs of if you have a dui in usa and did your time , they can recharge yoi with it there and thats stupid , Canada get your crap right

Pierre is coming - just wait , Trudeau just go already , Pierre will fix this huge mess and make Canada great again

Thank you for sending us this speech. I wholeheartedly agree and support you! As an American, 81 year old woman, I have never seen such a terrible president. Mr trump has always dreamed of being a dictator Never have I been so disgusted in my life. I, did, not vote for this person that I hate with all my being. I hope someone fixes this before I die of being sick of him! He is not only against most of the world, he is also against the people that he is supposed to protect!

Please let me just fix his eyebrows! Too distracted to hear a word he said

Trump gave Canada and Mexico both warnings then gave both countries a chance to fix the problem less then 2 weeks ago 10k migrants tried to smuggle drugs from Canada . We stopped them after they in from Canada that was 9 days ago

Sure he talks to the American people directly but did not say how the ppl can fix it (before bad stuff happens).

Fix the deficit, homie. Then come talk.

This is what you call a nothing burger ? this is all Trudeau's fault why Canada ?? is in this situation, he had 9 years to fix the borders, build the pipe lines making Canada independent and self sufficient instead he has done absolutely nothing but spend our tax dollars carelessly by putting Canada 68 billion dollars in the hole, folks don't be fooled, remember there's always 2 sides to a story but nobody wants to have that conversation, it's easy to point the finger at everybody else but blame the man in mirror.

Trump campaigned for months that these tariffs would take place if certain border issues were not fixed. All Trudeau did was appoint a buddy as border czar and did nothing else. He needs to go away ....

Hahaha… oh no!… not Canada!… hilarious… trump is fixing all of the problems with the system, and making it fair to the rest of the world… instead of the USA taking it in the A*s… when we’re the ones paying for it… we the people voted for this!… in a couple of years, the whole world will see that the USA economy is the best ever, and will follow in trumps footstep to become prosperous

Why is it that everyone outside of America has an expectation on how we should be that benefits them. This can has been kicked down the road for multiple decades. The waste, fraud, and abuse we are uncovering in the government. The situation with NATO and Ukraine and no one can fix their problems or issues without the US. We have aggressive homelessness, poverty, poor education system, high taxes, and a government that in the past has done nothing but pimp our tax dollars out just for kickbacks. Everyone is pissing and moaning about our domestic problems while also having an extremely high bar on the international stage. I have never received aid from the UN, never receive money from other countries, nor assistance. Is no one in America tired of this? Here we are talking about Bourbon tax….lol. A great reset needs to happen and though I do not like it, it is happening and I am here for it. BTW I love Canada and Mexico and believe at best that if we pull out of NATO I would still hope we can have an Americas/Mexico treaty.

I thought this man run and fixing the economy and making it better for the American people not making it worse for us WTF its like a ?????stock

Canadians having to wait weeks for a doctors appointment. Fix that first Turd.

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.

You want young people to stay? Fix the immigration problem.

Canada's primary issue is that it is becoming India lite, that is why quality of life is going down. Fix that problem and everything else will improve.

In Japan buildings depreciate in value, like cars, so the house I built last year is worth less this year (and my taxes on it are less). When I first got here I thought it was a horrible system, but now I see what a powerful benefit it is. Housing is quite affordable and there are lots of mixed neighborhoods, like mine, with million-dollar homes, small multi-units, and fewer gated communities. We suffer from a blight of abandoned buildings because at a certain point it just doesn't make economic sense to fix up an old (often cheaply made) home. But because home ownership is a luxury, like a fancy car, not a necessary means to accrue wealth, mortgages and rents are low and there's cheap (and small, so very very small) housing everywhere.

Canada can't be fixed. In theory these problems are VERY easy to solve. In practice literally impossible. \nCanadians have the political sophistication of a 6 year. Anyone with the opportunity to leave is leaving or has left.

Thank GOD GO BACK FIX YOUR OWNHOME

Canada’s government: ‘We’ll fix this later.’ Later arrives ‘Oh no, who could have seen this coming?!

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

Canada is a sovereign country, not a US state. Fix your thumbnail. I expected better from an Australian.

These are issues not unique to Canada. Most people here in Canada don't realize this. Housing is a huge issue, and needs to be fixed. But business investment into Canada is increasing. We won't see improvement overnight, but we are marching in the right direction. \nThe tariff threat is the only looming thing that can really hold us back. With a constant threat of massive tariffs, business investment will decrease.

The authoritarian said that the budget would fix it's self.

Countries that have the death penalty have less fentanyl problems hence why they ship it here fix the laws

The US has just had 4 years of wide open borders encouraged by the Biden administration. Now you want to blame all your immigration problems on Canada and Mexico and you demand these countries to fix your immigration problem immediately or be penalized. It's like blaming drug addicted Americans on Mexico and Canada. The blame belongs to your own country. Stop playing the victim card and accept your own responsibility!

Why don't they fight this hard to fix their OWN COUNTRY? Lining up for freebies is over!

Dear Canada,\nI hope you fix the employment problems and stop employers from hiring non-resident under contract for below minimum wage rather than a resident or a local before you start implementing new streams for said non-residents and new immigrants. A lot of you locals are struggling to land employment because of the fact. Employers are taking advantage of this loophole for to lower cost of employments. And it's unfair for us locals and residents. \nIt's just unfair you see, it's not right that employers prioritize non-residents just because they can lowball them and this individuals won't have any issue with or say any word since they are given employment. Employments should be fair. \nThe labor law should have more stricter rules on such things because employers are taking advantage of this very lax rule. And should have a law that supports employees too against abusive employers or employers who just don't care as long as they profit. \n\nSincerely,

Sorry, but there's no such thing as economic asylum. They need to fix their own countries and they are stupid.\n\nTheir country is super rich.\n\nTake it back.

Shackled and shuffling. Illegal is illegal. Stay out and don't come back. Fix your own country, be proud, work hard, and follow immigration laws. Taking US jobs. Danger ahead⚠️

Bidens border.. Trump has fixed it

Why don't they take this dedication to find a better life & fix there own country?

That’s disgusting \nPut that energy and focus into fixing your own country \nSTAY OUT!!!

sidenote; i saved everything, so everyone knows, clips, timestamps, comments. good luck on your quest to fix America, your lovely neighbor signing off.

Fix your own country

Just want to say I am happy i don't see alot of blk immigrants. Please let's fix our hime countries. We are fighting to go somewhere shift the fight for a good home country.

We need to fix our country before worrying about others in other countries. Go to Mexico or any other country. Our country would turn in to the country they left. They are not going to leave there loyalty to there country. You need to reform from they old way of living from your country.?‍♂️

NY stop being a sanction City, simple fix. You are doing it to yourself, but i bet it is your electorals that are benefiting.

As crazy as Trump can be with his mouth at times, this is why he was re-elected. Trump is going burn the house down while fixing things and breaking things. Biden caused one of the greatest national security crisis's this country has ever seen and he should still be held accountable for it. Biden's weird gay agenda is just immoral, just look at his son Hunter's lost and immoral behavior. Gee, thanks dad...Your a great role modal...And thanks for all you did to get President Trump re-elected...Couldn't have done it without ya...

Fix your own country stop trying to destroy ours. If we tried that in another country we would be shot or beat down.

“Illegal aliens attempt to invade the USA” there, fixed your title

They need this energy put into fixing Mexico. In the U.S. , people scream that Mexico is a better place than US. On the Mexican border, Mexicans are dying to come here? it doesn’t make sense

Trump is not fixing anything. He is not smart enough. \nBeing a ruthless asshole doesn’t make you look tough. \nIt makes you look like Putin a goddamn terrorist. \nHow many people will needlessly die because of that prick ?

Awesome, now fix NY's ridiculous gun laws.....
