Did this idiot say the greatest country on earth? He should take a good look at Philadelphia New York Los Angeles, and all the big cities how rotten it is the drug addicts will probably take care of him when he’s going to the cities he must watch out don’t worry about the rest of the world. He’s a clown a born clown.!!!!!

Are we trying to roubd 'em up into one place so its easier for the los angeles, drain the reservoirs and lay off all their fire fighters. Have your resumes ready people!!!

I’m in Los Angeles we want trump and Elon and all trump administration out of government.. believe us not every one is with these dumb president

I am a proud Canadian and embrace our sovereignty. We fought in WW2 for two years before the U.S joined our side . Rescued 6 of their diplomats in Iran in 1979. We were at their side in Afghanistan after the horrors of 9/11. Our good people of Gander Newfoundland sheltered, clothed and fed them in that aftermath when their planes were grounded. We sent planes to Los Angeles as did Mexico to fight the wildfires after Trump imposed his tariffs and pushed his annex ideology and making us a 51st state. That was a slap in the face to every soldier who died standing for our country and what we represent. From my heart I thank all of you for your support. We stand on guard for thee....and we stand for the Ukrainian. ❤

From Los Angeles, as a Korean Canadian American, my heart shines with Canadian pride, a true beam of light.

and also sent Fire Brigade units to help manage fires in los angeles

GROW SOME BALLS TRUDEAU !!! The usa is in a state of destruction . Fires , floods , weather systems , and most of their people devastated with no homes ! 50% tariffs on lumber and building materials . Corolina's burning right now , Los Angeles , and so many others . HE'LL PAY ! SO WILL THE AMERICANS ! NO FEMA ?\nNO LUMBER !

What a speech! Cheers, from Los Angeles!?

Good luck on rebuilding Los Angeles without Canadian lumber and drywall

Los Angeles here. Mad props to Trudeau and this speech. Such a shame the American people have to suffer. Can’t stand Trump and the current administration. Bunch of bullies. Thank you for this honest, well-said speech. Bravo to Trudeau and Canada!

I live in Los Angels and I did not vote for this. Canada has always helped us when we had natural disaster.

I live in a small community in Utah, 165 miles south of Salt Lake City. I can't imagine how the legal immigrants feel there in NYC. Even here, they are being pushed out by the illegals, willing to work for poor wages, and living 30 people to a travel trailer on BLM ground. The liberal ideology is destroying the hard working legal immigrants families, and forcing them out. Liberal propaganda is chuck full of lies and far less than logical. NYC, San Francisco , Portland, Los Angeles, and Seattle have become shizholes because of it. Time to wake up!

New York has been a scandalous city since the 1700's. That city breeds corruption and it show no signs what-so-ever of changing its ways and become a city of integrity. The same is true of Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles and everyone of them have something in common, they are all Democrat strong holds. Where ever the Democrats are there are high taxes, inefficient government, high crime and stupid voters.

They’re trying to come here to work our system that we American tax payers pay for. They’re not trying to come here to help. Deport them all. I was at a DMV, in Los Angeles, the other day and all the people were illegals, trying to get IDs

America is doing what is right for them. There are lakhs and lakhs of illegal immigrants in America allowed to come in by democrats, I heard most of them had voting rights, States like California, Florida, Los Angeles, New York are flooded by illegals allowed in by Democrats to win elections.Now the Republicans are sending them back, simple.America made the mess and America is cleaning it.

I am not Trump supporter in fact I hate him. Deporting Indian I support him. They changed the character of Los Angeles into smelling Urine and poop. They shut all the restroom since they run all the service stations. To Urinate everyone have to pay a couple of Dollars. Kudos to Trump.

Aviator not physically hard. Marine, Army enlisted, combat. Look at the Fireman in Los Angeles. They are not fit to be a Fireman. They cannot lift someone. They cannot physically serve at the appropriate level.

I just watched a YouTube video of a young Serbian musician girl flying 14 hours to Jakarta just to visit the U.S. embassy for an interview to get her working visa. In her vlog, she was so happy that she was approved, and she plans to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music.\n\nShe is coming to the U.S. the RIGHT way…LEGALLY.

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games. The booing continued on Sunday at an NBA game in Toronto where the Raptors played the Los Angeles Clippers. \n \nFrom left to right, Toronto Raptors forwards Bruce Brown, Scottie Barnes and Chris Boucher react as fans boo the United States national anthem before NBA basketball game action against the Los Angeles Clippers in Toronto, Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

My inquiry is this: why are they so desperate to flee Mexico to begin with?\n\nContemplating via perspective shifts: not all Mexican citizens are crooks and bad, just as not everyone in Los Angeles rich and famous.\n\nFact: Since USA is gar far behind, this bordering protection is very necessary. If USA continues to lack care for its own citizens, it won't be able to help Mexican citizens either eventually.

Robin Cole was a sex worker in Los Angeles and some idiot thought it would be a good idea to teach her to be a remote viewing psychic. Then at some point she caught the eye or was introduced to HW Bush. Shut the CIA down. They have become THE enemy of the taxpayer.

THEIR BURNING DOWN LOS ANGELES SO THEY CAN GET WORK CREEPS GET OUT

Please Trump deport the Columbians. I had a Columbia. dimwit on a travel visa in Los Angeles, hit my vehicle while doing Door Dash and Uber Eats on a loaner vehicle. Mutherfuuuu... because it happened in a private parking lot, the insurance company deemed the damages 50/50..

Please feel free to move on. We won’t hold it against you, and we will be fine. It’s a struggle right now. However if you ever thought you’d make a life in. Toronto or Vancouver, it’s silly. You can’t also easily live in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles. Just remember, you came here. We didn’t fail you, but when times are good, don’t feel like you should come back and enjoy that. We want people that want to live here.

He is also getting rid of legal ways for asylum seekers to get into the country , which isn’t the win y’all think it is. \n\nThe United States created those problems in Latin America that people are fleeing from. \n\nFrom Los Angeles in the Pacific to New York City in the Atlantic, an iron curtain of tyranny, ignorance, and oligarchy has descended across the continent.

One million El Salvadorians in Los Angeles white people very quiet about this since it maintains their lifestyle. While brown Americans plunge into desperation.

I offer to you this grandfatherly advice. Government costs money. Evaluate what it does for and to its citizens. You can live in the most beautiful place in the world, but if you can’t touch anything, why bother? Living in the U S there are 50 states. Most abide by the same federal standards but each state has its own way of doing stuff. Right now Los Angeles is burning. They do not allow the removal of dead vegetation in the vast majority of the state. The state has wildfires every year. They have the highest taxes and the most regulations of all of the states. They also have some of the most beautiful places to live in and otherwise great weather. The exodus of the citizens of California go to states without such high prices and taxes. The demand is increased in these states so housing costs more. Many counties have refugee/immigration increases. They too increase the demand without the supply. To make up for it. Good luck and happy hunting.

Los Angeles was canceled due to the fires………not true. We just don’t want ya here!!!!!

A round trip flight from Montreal to Toronto, a little over an hour flight? 1000$ A round trip flight from Montreal to Los Angeles? 400$ Someone explain that LMAO!!!!

You are all Democrats how do you like us now Newsom needs to be impeache immediately same with police chief in Los Angeles. O live in Los Angeles area all elderly are becoming homeless becoause of thede illegals get out NOW.that is why we elected Trump. The Democrats are ruining any chance possible for next election

Los Angeles has a huge illigal problem no parking spaces cause they have 10 cars they fight with everyone throw parties every week

I'm a Canadian American and I thought living in California was bad! Vancouver makes Los Angeles look like Austin Texas in terms of the cost of living.

There are only two major cities in the world with a majority foreign born population. Not NYC or Los Angeles, not London or Paris. The two cities are Miami and Toronto. Miami is understandable because of the 'Mariel Boatlift' of the 1980's. But Toronto's surge has no explanation, other than it coincided with Trudeau as PM

I've only ever been to Winnipeg. I did see that the country was friendly, but it was a bit empty. We drove there, so we saw the countryside as well. It was pretty spread out. \n\nI do agree that the USA is very different depending where you are at. I grew up in rural Minnesota, and now live in Nebraska, so still pretty rural. The weirdest place in all of the US was Los Angeles. I do agree that there are clear borders between racial neighborhoods. One street was all Mexicans looking for work, and a block or two away was all Japanese in black pants/skirts and white shirts. like it was a uniform they're required to where or something. California is weird.

The same thing happened to Los Angeles, Portland, San Francisco and also New York City is being ruined right now...

The politicians have done the same thing to New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, etc. it’s very sad…

Scapegoating? It's simple supply and demand, and nothing can change it. Socialism won't fix it, importing impoverished people won't fix it, legislation won't fix it. You have to attract people with the proper skillsets to make the country and city better. Having a booming population and no room to grow doesn't do that. The California Bay Area and Los Angeles area has already seen the problems this causes, companies and skilled workers are moving to places that they can afford to live and build companies. With more people comes less opportunities, Canada needs to learn from the mistakes of others. Do not take everyone, take those who want a better life but can also give back to the country.

Look up the los angeles declaration and UN replacement migration! this explains everything... . If you think that these people are doing all of this because it's just a dream they have ..... Then you are living in a dream.....!!! This is ALL planned .... Do you really think that canada would change its laws and don't know what they're doing.....hell.....klaus schwab said he owns over 50 percent of Canadian parliament! We are being invaded on purpose!!! And why......well..... You can't handle the truth..... Also..... Isn't it amazing.... They let in a ton of migrants into America.... They work for the cartel..... And now We have them infiltrated in transportation in usa..... Now these migrants Can transport all ofthe rest of their people....the fact is....OUR POLITICANS AND BUSINESSES HAVE SOLD THIS COUNTRY OUT!!! FACT!!! now .....get ready for the next plandemic in October!! Your clue.....it lands on israels new year....just like all the others were on a jewish holiday.....wake up people!!!!....you are being played....

Noooo Noooo! Don't let them in I'm in Los Angeles CA we need help out here Venezuelan immigrants are ruthless we need help out here

Los Angeles would be a good spot for y'all because it's mostly hot, and the weather is nice over there, even throughout the winter.

The same story as everywhere in the world where people want to live. First you say no one wants to live in Canada (literally the tittle), then blame the problem on all the people that want to live there. I've heard this everywhere from Lisbon to Los Angeles.

Desde Los Angeles, California. Emití mi voto por Xochitl no queremos 6 años más de otros datos y mamadas.

Will be in Vancouver this Friday from SO CAL. In general, your city just like any major cities in USA are having the same issues pretty much. It is worst here in Los Angeles, San Francisco I think. \n\nWe were in Toronto for a short time and enjoyed visiting cities outside Toronto as well. \n\nI did not see much homeless or safety concern at all there in Toronto unless. I agree our (corrupted) politicians and corporate control of our governments are major issues.

Like I kind of stayed in Canada for 29 years I always explained to my family myself I wanna live in the States in Los Angeles just to try something new. something new

Can't say how mayor of Toronto a leftist be able to make toronto livable again. Might become another Los angeles

I’d have to say I don’t live in Canada and I visited Canada twice for short periods of time\n\nWhat I do notice about Canada is that there isn’t enough employment for Canadians and many of them have to come or choose to come to the United States\n\nIn your case, you were a light skin, European appearing woman, and in Asia, especially Tokyo, you is very popular in the entertainment industry and people are willing to employ you for that look \n\nGetting back to Canada a lot of Canadian actresses And actors wind up, going to the United States for work specially Los Angeles, and doing quite well or Las Vegas, and other entertainment centers in the US because there is opportunity there where there isn’t any Canada\n\nI hate to say this to other Canadians but is backwater when it comes to economic activity it’s had some bright spots at certain times in the last 20 years, but it doesn’t last

Most western places are becoming crime problems with the US leading the way. Who is committing most of the crimes in large cities? How tough are the authorities in dealing with crime? Compare serious crimes in a city like Moscow or Bejing to a Los Angeles or NYC. In the US there are numerous instances in major cities of criminal mobs entering stores and taking what they want and leaving w/o paying because retail theft has been decriminalized. Try running your small business in that kind of environment so we have businesses closing and moving out of the cities. If you haven't figure it out yet, it's called western liberalism in dealing with criminals.

Unfortunately these degradation of major cities are everywhere. Lived in California all my life and very disappointed how it’s become. Toronto is becoming San Francisco/ Los Angeles, if not there already. High cost on everything = high homelessness =high crimes. ??
