Maybe they are planning something. Trump once remarked that Canada could become the U.S.'s 51st state, so perhaps he was considering a strategy to weaken the country as part of a long-term plan. He might have been looking for a justification to assert control over Canada. Additionally, his strategic support for Putin raises concerns. Trump also once suggested renaming the 'Gulf of Mexico' to the 'Gulf of America.' Considering all this, could we be on the brink of World War III?

I'm not with trump but listen to professor Sachs speech in the European parliament. This war was planned and financed by the USA. It all started in the 1990s.its a game that the elite and the MIC play . Who owns most of the mic, BlackRock. Who has the contract to rebuild Ukraine, BlackRock. Who will mine Ukraine resources, BlackRock. Welcome to the game\n We are nothing more than porns. In all the movies growing up who are the villains? Russia, China, Middle East terrorist. One guess who the heroes are. Yep the USA propaganda feed to the masses through entertainment.

Apparently the dummy in chief thinks this will force companies to relocate to the US. Does he plan on moving all those natural resources and power plants etc?\n\nAs for Fentanyl, maybe Vance can get his relatives in Bumblefack Hills to just do all of it.

A 50 steps plan to authocracy in play. Wake up America

Trump a deja prevu comment jouer aux echecs sur le plan economique. En pillant l'Ukraine avec l'aide la Russie. Les USA ont le regard tourné vers la Chine depuis longtemps, ils nont plus dinteret á negocier avec lAmerique du Nord ou l'Europe. Il joue au papa autoritaire avec les nerfs de tous Les autres gouvernements. Ses decisions laissent á penser que nous ne sommes plus Les alliés des USA.

How refreshing to listen to an intelligent leader! i only take issue with him calling Trump a smart guy. Trump will never do anything but ridicule and insult Trudeau and Canada no matter what concessions Canada makes. The great thing is that Trump never had any kind of plan except to tariff the hell out of our former allies. Canada is very systematic about their tariffs against US. They are using a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. Very smart against very stupid, childish, and undisciplined.

The whole world is a big movie all this s*** is rigged and staged and pre-planned

Trump ultimate plan to destroy Canada and Europe,\nThat is part of plan how Trump please his Russian masterPutin

I think Trumps secret plan is to bankrupt USA because its in the interest of Russia. I have come to believe he is a secret Russian spy put in place to destroy as much as he can. The reason is that Putin has some kind of dirty secret on him that he desperately does not want to come out or That he owes him a lot of money and the Russian mob will kill him if he does not follow the plan Russia have set in motion. If the US does not wake up he will sell their country.

3:46 Wish Trudeau was our President. He has a plan and speaks clear and well spoken. We pray for you and your people. We have a man that doesn't really care about our country.

This isn't stupidity, this is being done deliberately according to a plan orchestrated by enemies of the America's and Europe.\nTherefore Trump is an enemy of democracy. \nTrump: The man who broke the world.

Trump wants to be one of the handful of large, powerful autocracies in the world, he will continue provoking democratic allies to create strawman excuses to engage in conflict with and cede from them and look for any excuses to invade/annex, and in the end he most likely believes he has the power to compete with and overpower other autocracies. In the end, he sees them as the winners in the race of countries and he wants to be top dog over them, too. By consolidating wealth, industry/resources, control of information and technology - with his past attacks against the military - will it be any surprise if plans come to light of intentions to build a private army?

The ChiComs, working with their Liberal minions, have made sure that any election will be rigged. Trump is trying to save Canada because he will send Troops into Canada to eject the Chinese military. He wants to do it with laws by getting Canada to join the USA. If that does not happen, he will use the military to do it, and Canada will be seen as the enemy of the USA allied with China. Trudeau admitted that without the welfare the USA has been providing to Canada, your economy will collapse. The Bank of Canada is bankrupt. The Canadian dollar is about to collapse. How will you feel next year when you need two dollars to buy what one dollar buys now? And plan on having fewer dollars to start with because your carbon tax, your sales tax, your income tax are all going up. WAY up. This is what happens when you decide to compete with a USA that is unshackled. The USA can produce more of our own oil than we can use, and we will sell the extra to YOUR foreign customers cheaper than you can produce it. Then you will be BEGGING for a pipeline. So Trump invited Canada to become a member of the most successful and powerful union of sovereign states in history, something that even our own territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and all the others do not have. An invitation to be a bona fide member. Why do you think that is? Minerals? The USA has all the minerals we need. We have more oil, coal, and natural gas than any nation also, and we can produce and refine it cheaper than any country can. So Canada was invited to become a state so Trump could peacefully eject the ChiComs from North America. And did you accept? No. Did you say no thank you? No. You gave us the finger and said f&$k you to Trump. We hear you Canada. But now is not the time for pain, that comes later.

the current trade deal with Canada and Mexico is something trump bragged about when he negotiated & signed it 6 years ago. Trump called it the USCMA. Less than 1% of fentanyl comes across the northern US border. we can't refine light crude oil we pull out of the ground here so we buy more than 50% of our heavy crude oil and natural gas from Canada. Canada will turn off the pipes and sell the heavy oil and NG to Europe. The second oil supply was Mexico who plans to sell their oil in Europe too. It will be extra cold in the midwest and east coast this winter without fuel oil.

They are traitors that plan to betray Americans and leave with BILLIONS. MAYBE TRILLIONS!!!

Trump wants to cripple Canada to annex it so he can have rare minerals for tech. Then he’s closer to Russia for his future plans!

Just watch Trump will be blaming Biden for all this because Trump has no leadership no plan but to make rich people, richer! Do you maga supporters realize what you've done now. And how bad things are about to become in our country. I didn't vote for Trump but I'm going to have to suffer because of dumb idiot suckers like you. Thanks Maga for ruining my life because of your stupidity! ✌️

This is just part of his plan as a coupe to take over our federal government, collapse our economy with hyper inflation, have his 4.5 trillion tax cuts for the wealthy while putting high tariffs on Americans. His goal is power and making billions while in office. He is trying to push a bill so he could be president a third term which is against our constitution.

Europe has just announced an 800 billion Euro defence plan; I bet they’d be very interested in Canada’s critical minerals. Canadians will not forget this; this has damaged our relationship with the U.S. and it may never recover. We cannot forget that Americans voted this man back into power knowing who and what he is; they somehow believed that he was magically going to lower the cost of eggs, end a war and save the economy. Canadians will never trust that Americans won’t again elect someone so stupid and pathetically unfit to lead their country; we have to start cutting the trade ties now so that we will never be this vulnerable again. I do agree with Dumpty that we need to pull our weight militarily, so we need to invest in our security and we also need to align ourselves with Europe since Dumpty is clearly aligning the U.S. with Russia.

I'm doing ongoing research to cease any spend on any US product or service. I'm buying software from Europe, using Posteo for email, deGoogling this year and vastly reducing Youtube. I trace all groceries to eliminate anything US sourced and I now check that products are Mexican and Canadian as much as I'm able and they are supplying. I've stopped planning trips to LA and NYC, I might resume if American voters ever have the good sense to vote en masse against obviously fascist plans and personalities. I've holidayed in Mexico three times and would visit Canada and Europe in future. US is not safe for everyone any longer, not even its citizens and looks to be getting increasingly insecure and offering prosperity only to the already mega rich through crooked policies and agencies. Every week or two I double check the facts on groceries and online products/services to make sure I'm not accidentally buying American. The election was so compromised in November I'm glad people are realising the only action we can take is with our wallets from not logging in to 'big tech' to buying bread and apples etc.

US citizen here. I stand with all of our allies. I hope than Canada gives us a kick in the backside we sorely need. We are led by a buffoon who thinks that the “Mar-A-Lago Accord” is the way forward. That plan would be wayyyy too damaging to the world’s economies. But..when has tRump listened to anything but the voices in his head?

Your General said this is isolating Canada. No it isn't. The UK, Europe and Asia are very open to trade. Indeed many have existing deals which can only grow.\n\nI hear that there are a great many frustrated Americans. Americans who don't want this trade war. Unfortunately Your commander in chief is Your voice on the World stage. His choices are effectively Your choices. HE represents your country. It's him we have to deal with, or not, as the case may be.\n\nUntil you can wrestle the House, the Senate and ultimately the Oval, off these walking-disasters The US with edge closer and closer to being a Paraiah state.\n\nGood luck with that. You're going to need it. The World is already making alternative plans wrt defence, trade and political ideology. All without the US... think about that....

Now we know why Musk bought Twitter. This was planned long ago. This gives Trump a huge platform to spread misinformation. In addition Trump has his own misinformation website that he copy and pastes onto X just so Musk can further spread it to his followers.

U will never defeat trumph he has made plan way before u think just see

Eliminating our allies so that Trump and his evil doers can take over our country but there are idts that can't see it. Way doesn't anyone talk about that because that is what is going on. I am okay with what our allies are doing because maybe that is what will wake up these people that support this madness. The United States is like walking around in a forest with wolves just waiting for us to be sleeping or just not protected and attack use. Trump said Ukraine was starting WWlll that is bull shit he is and it is all part of the plan.

Justin Trudeau is planning his own attack on Canadian taxpayers on April first. He’s paid off our media to be silent about his huge tax increase coming. Currently his carbon tax on home heating costs are higher than the cost of the gas itself. Don’t believe fooled by this boy king.

This ain’t about fentanyl. Trump is planning world domination with Russia ?

People in Canada ?? don't even like their leader . Things gotta get worse b4 they get better .\nTrump ❤ keep sending the message US has been getting taxed by other countries fpr far too long .\nAct like this man doesn't have a plan?????

I’m not particularly a savvy political person, but even I could see this coming. Trump/Musk have chosen to start a war against our own people & isolating us from allies & neighbors is a particularly bad move. Who will defend us against Russian aggression when we have no allies & friends left. And make no mistake-this fits right into Putin’s plans. If The US is no longer able to stand against him, who will? It has been a balance of power that has kept democracy flourishing and given Americans so much freedom & prosperity. Trump/Musk are nothing but greedy fools who will end up destroying our country. ???

47/45 doesn't care. He knows this will bankrupt farmers, workers, small businesses and Americans. It's his plan so he can buy up USA for pennies on the dollar, along with his broligarchs.

Does anyone understand that theres a plan behind everything and everyone works for the same family is not Trump is not Putin is not Trudeau they are all pupets

trumps plans with putin obviously meet his imperial ambitions more than his democratic allies. trump aided russia by holding back the vote on Ukrainian military aid for months on end costing countless innocent lives and attempting to suck dry Ukraines most powerful weapon their morale!\nNow he is in power just as 3 years of sanctions on russia finally are showing results he turns off Ukraines military aid while repeating kremlin talking points.\nThe US who removed Ukraines nuclear deterrent with the Budapest Memorandum promising to protect its borders which they failed to honour even have trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war.

America is in a sad state of crisis. That guy Trump has been in bed with Russia since the 80s. He’s been bought and sold from the beginning. \nTheir goal is to bankrupt America and allow Russia to move in and take over the world from here. They plan to separate and divide the American people with race wars and financial instability. We as Americans must stand together to fight against the oligarchs. \nThe racist Trump supporters do understand once they achieve their goal. You will be the new “N-word “ in the situation. \n\n#freeamerica

Trump shot down similar plans on our southern border in order to get elected. He won on problems, not solutions. PS. He has no solutions.

The US undermining Canada, Europe, and the rest of western allies only benefits the Kremlin.\n\nPutin must be delighted his master plan to weaken democracies and NATO is actually working.

If this the part of the plan to make America great again, then this is one dumb plan made by dumb people.

What a brilliant speech. No shouting, no humiliation, facts and a clear plan of action. Dignity and strength expressed calm, precise and civilised. My highest respect for Mr Trudeau and Canada!

Measure Trudeau’s words against Trump’s words when he delivers his speech to Congress this evening. While Trudeau presents facts, Trump will present misinformation and lie about how his policies and tariffs are great, best ever. Truth is, he has no plan for the average American, no plan for Ukraine security or peace, no realistic plan for Gaza, no compassion for Americans who are losing their jobs and benefits.

Has he tariffed Australia is that part of the plan and uk

Maybe it will come to a Russia, Ukraine deal between Canada and the US,people will suffer, die! It's all part of the real plan ! One world order

Trump knows its a dumb thing to do. He planning to break us all into the poor and weak. He wants to be Queen to King Putin

This is putin plans to weaken our allies neibor countries and Eu, very dump to thinks about our US sensitive intels that putin going to get from trump.

Looking in from the UK Trump has just gone 100% rogue for the west and 100% for Russia. By splitting USA V Canada V Mexico trade which he signed of in his first term he has now supplied Russia with the split they wanted. USA power has always been the number of allies it has around the world now it is splitting from them and joining Putin which makes Putin very happy. America is weaker and that is just dandy for Russia China Iran and North Korea President Che will be moving forward with his plan to attack Taiwan and then watch America as it has no computer chips for all the industries tied to super computers cars planes ect.

Its time for Canada to get up, diversify its resources, invest in Tech companies massively. I had a plan to have the canadian version of the Facebook but couldn't get the investment and team needed in Canada. There would be millions of others like me but now is the time for Canada to stand up and invest in its people.

People of America hate Trump kissing up to Putin's plans.

USA is planning to take territories that have rare earth minerals (to compensate for the Chinese blockade of such minerals), or other strategic resources. This includes Canada (minerals, oil), Greenland (geographic security), Panama (logistic security), and Ukraine (minerals).\n\nUSA is also using rhetoric to pave the way for a war on Europe, so that USA and Russia can divide Europe between them. The words being used are that Europe is no longer democratic or secure (Vance) or that Europe is generally a bad place in a bad situation (Trump).\n\nEurope would do well to create their own military, and reduce their dependencies on USA as well as Russia. Europe would do well to seek other allies and new alliances, and to prepare for war.

Putin's plans is running head on. Trump is a puppet for Russia, not our United States.

Reporters keep saying that the deterioration of U.S. and Canada relationship is exactly what their adversaries want…. But they are getting this wrong. Trump and Putin are NOT adversaries! They are alleis! \nTrump is planning to do to his neighbors exactly what Putin is doing to Ukraine. The USA is now a dictatorship just like Russia.

Trump is the EMEMY WITHIN. DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM THE INSDE. \n49 YEARS AGO RUSSIA CREATED A PLAN TO GET A MAN INTO THE WHITEHOUSE TO DIVIDE AND DESTROY THE UNITED STATES FROM WITHIN. RUSSIAS PLAN WORKED. RUSSIA FOUND THEIR MAN. THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS EXACTLY WHO THAT MAN IS.\nA SHOWBIZ LYING COWARD CON MAN CALLED DONALD TRUMP.

Trump may be planning to pull a Putin on Canada. Invade and steal land and resources...
