Great discussion ! This is a big issue and should be resolved quickly ( it wont) but would be nice to and thank you for not attributing Michelle Ruempel Garner as being Trump like , we need to stop looking south and start cleaning up our own mess , or someone else is going to do it for us and it wont be pretty.

And we question why President Trump is being so hard on Canada. We are a huge security threat. And it’s getting worse. Thanks Liberals.

First of all why is she asking people this? As a leader she should know the issues, and have the answers. Obviously she does not know, and should not be the leader/Premier. So she wants to wait another year to have a survey, and then start working on things? That sounds insane to me. With $60 oil, Danielle states Alberta's debt will skyrocket. Oil is heading to $40 per barrel. That's $50 billion dollars more debt PER YEAR than in 2024. When you add on the costs to finance that , you are looking at maybe $70 Billion deficit per year very soon. That is unstainable for such a small population. Then the separatists want to ad at least a trillion dollar loan, to leave Canada and service that debt. Where is all this massive wealth the separatist spew? Then she wants to wait another year for the people to tell her what to do about it. She is totally insane. Danielle, the worst Premiere in Alberta's history. Another survey, and another year wasted while nothing get's done? Please stop blaming everyone else for Alberta's problems. It is getting tiring. Danielle never says much that is correct. Like her ridiculous CPP rebate cheque. The way she calculated that was totally insane. Today she stated Ai would save Alberta's economy. She may not know it but Ai makes almost no jobs. It also needs massive energy and a good power grid, and Alberta's is ancient. That's why she is just a small time TV show host. Alberta's problems is as always, due to a bad Premiere, and she is the worst of them all. Dec 2025 Employment Insurance Recipients 67,520 UP 21.9% y/y Q3 2025 Net Migration 5,849 Down -86.2% y/y Dec 2025 International Merchandise Exports $15.6B Down -7.4% y/y Where do you see this massive wealth with $40 oil on it's way? Danielle states every 1 dollar the oil goes down equals a Billon dollar deficit. Rath uses $90 per barrel for his insane figures. 2025 prices averaged in high 60's. In the mid 50's now, and almost every oil agency in the world states it will settle around $40. If you add 20 or $30 billion more debt to Alberta's deficit per year, Alberta will die a very fast death. Add on a one trillion dollar loan, and the other costs to pay out Canada. Then add on all the new federal costs Alberta will have to assume. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year. Can you explain to me where all this massive wealth that Rath and Wilson preach? Of course there are many other issues like business/jobs leaving. Equalization payments are not really and issue as oil plummets, especially with no LNG Equalization is based on high earnings, as Albertans make more money than everywhere else. If there are no jobs, Alberta may again start to get payments back even. Trump thinks Alberta oil will be good for USA reserves so he can just shut that down for 100 years, so what will that do to Alberta jobs , and deficit. If you ask people how they feel about Rath and Wilson begging for a trillion dollar loan...secured by Alberta's resources... "just to get started" , I wonder what they will say. She thinks Ai will save Alberta LOL AI needs massive cheap energy, and an up to date power grid.. Not strong points for Alberta with an ancient power grid. Ai also produces no jobs. Given the shape of Alberta, thanks to Danielle, I don't think equalization payments will be an issue, going forward. With $40 oil on it's way, Alberta may start getting payments. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year.

Thank you for this. As a single mom of 3 kids in their 20’s I am shocked with the seeming hypocrisy in our country right now. Those who have deflect and blame trump for all our problems. We need to stop blaming and start paying attention to what really matters - our own citizens who are suffering.

Thanks to mr Trump.

Thank god trumps closing our borders this is disgusting and scary seeing what’s happened to Australia and Canada. Europe also wake up FAST!!!

Thank God for Donald Trump. I really hope all you other countries get it figured out. All these mofuckrs need sent back home.

Thanks God for Trump

All I can say is, THANK YOU President Donald Trump for shutting down the borders, I don’t want these people in the USA, why are they coming here and leaving their SHIT hole country?

Brampton Bike guy is so based! Thanks for covering how badly the marxist Extreme far left liberal party of Canada has destroyed our country and fuck you TRUMP for helping Carney get elected instead of polleivre

Brampton aka Bramladesh is the worst, but all cities, even small ones have been taken over right now in Canada. It's terrible, and if Trump doesn't absorb us into the USA and put ICE to work, god might as well send meteors. Thank you Tyler for showing this and braving the cold.

Lol thanks to president Trump!! Canada finally waking up to student visa fraud from India 😂😂

Thanks trump

Thank you trump for keeping the trash out of our great country....🇺🇲

And people in america still tell me to this day that this cant happen. Its already happening. Not just with indians, but with dozens of different ethnicities. Thank god trump shut the border down. But I feel very uneasy about how the us will look in 2 decades. Its going to be a brown melting pot 😢

You can blame Doug Ford for the sky high rents, because he helped his corporate buddies. Get that were landlords, he took off rent So you can thank Doug Ford for that one. And as far as jobs go, you can think mark Carney, the successor of the supremely, crooked Liberal Party from Justin Trudeau. To another idiot bleeding the blind leading the blind of Liberal Party. They're the ones that allowed all these illegal immigrants in here to stay. We need mass deportations, maybe it's time to become part of the fifty first state.Let trump do his mass deportations and waive these illegal pieces of garbage foreign workers bye.Bye

Years ago; here in Albany NY,car were told how cool it would be to get so many new cultures here after the Nano college opens. Lol. Now, we are inundated with rude and entitled illegals from all over the world. They're not leaving. They don't care what Trump says. This is a very liberal area, they feel safe here while they take all of the jobs and live off from the system. Thank you woksters. You ruined the last few years of my life. The kids? The kids are screwed and our system has them programmed and brainwashed.

No jobs and no housing? Why not build more small, affordable homes while expanding your cities? Why not create more jobs? Don't you want to grow and focus less on the USA and Trump? Expelling immigrants who genuinely want to live in Canada shouldn't be your solution to these problems. After all, Canada came into existence thanks to immigrants, right? Reclaiming houses bought by foreigners who don't even reside in your country could be a better approach. Only citizens or permanent residents should have the right to buy or build real estate.

Omg, who knew Justin Trudeau had it in him? We should thank Trump for forcing people to become leaders. Sometimes strong words and tough decisions are needed.

Well said, thank you for standing up to Trump & his puppets

I believe and respect President Trump! Also thank you Mr Elon Musk for doing a great job.God bless both of you.

Thank you president Trudeau for calling Poetin a lying murderer what he is. And for striking back to Trump and not appeasing him like the coward Republicans do. Thank you for joining the ‘meeting of the willing’ in the UK. Love from your friends in the Netherlands. You are truly a great leader. ❤❤❤❤❤ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

did you say thank you to president trump and USA? the only thing u did right is to wear a suit. you can't dictate the tariffs of Canada on us.

Thank God for Trump! He is one of the best business man in the world ? I have full faith I him. God Bless Trump!

Trump is the king of narcissists and a greater threat to world peace than Putin, along with his puppet children, Musk and Vance. It’s not bullying — it’s humiliation! Trump’s approach to deals is simple: “Thank you, if you don’t want to deal with us, we’ll take it anyway.” All he wants is the rare earth to develop quantum Computers,he will then lever that power to manipulate, unfortunately most of it is towards the Russian boarder! ?

Thanks Trump, you steaming pile of shit!

Trump is the absolute best, thank god that walking corpse is gone.

I’m an American but I’m with you, thanks much for knocking some senses into Trumps empty head! I loved how you said “Donald”! You’re one leader with a heart!

TRUTH!! The truth hurts Trump’s plan of chaos!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau; Republicans need to hear the TRUTH and end the misinformation! There is no end to the illogical actions that Trump is making but tariffs have been proven to result in a recession. Cutting thousands of jobs of people making $18/hr is insane!! Now, the government can pay unemployment and healthcare for people who were paying taxes! Then there is revenue lost because National Parks and Federal common spaces are closed. Then there was the this: CDC restricted from updating Americans on the latest epidemiologist reports on Covid, bird flu, the chickenpox outbreak in Texas, flu, and every other potential pandemic virus. Women and children will die as a result of this action! \nAgain, illogical anctions along with Trump aligning himself with Putin and every other dictator. He can move to Russia if he wants to live his life under Putin. He treats everyone the same; expendable!

We need to fire Trump! He is the one harming Canada, but Trumps Tarrifs will hurt Americans!! Inflation will go up, groceries up, gas up and electricity up, etc. Trump Musk, all his workers should be hand cuffed and arrested as Terrorists!! Thanks, Dump Trump, for crashing the rest of our lives in America.

Many thanks to Trudeau. I just love it, World Democracy Leaders like Trudeau, Macron, Keir Starmer and many more EU leaders will come to the aid of Americans to show just how Corrupt and Deranged Trump is and, he can't threaten or fire them. Trump's actions WILL trigger a unification of EU Countries with Canada and any other country that Trump threatens. Tesla EVs won't be purchased, EU and Canadian Satellites won't be launched by US companies, and you'll see EU and Canadian Defense company R&D funding and sales take-off as new Trade agreements are made between these other countries that Severely hurt the US Economy in numerous ways which, just maybe, some since into the total Nut-Job, Scum-Bag, multi-Felon and Rapist named Donald.

Grettings from the beautiful and great Garden State NJ??thanks Canada, this guy Trump has some good ideas but at the same time he has a bunch of bad perceptions of the world where we lived, our allies are our friends not our enemies!

That is so great that you reply to Trump Tariffs.. Thanks

Yes! Trudeau, I know this is hurting all of us. Thank you for standing against Trump. So proud of you for fighting back. Unfortunately we have to live with this jerk. He has destroyed all of us. He doesn't realize how much it is affecting the rest of the World. God Bless You and the citizens of Canada. I pray this ends soon. Stick to your beliefs. Do your best. I'm sorry to all of you for our greedy dictator. That you have to suffer because of his greediness. Not all of us believe in what he is doing.

Thank you Canada. You are the role model of how all other countries should and hopefully will react to Trumps' irrational global tariff terror.

I know that most everyone I know thinks Trump is the complete worst thing to happen to the US ever. His narcissistic and delusional actions are ruining our country and making the US a terrible place to live right now. We are a laughing stock because of him. I hope the congress can get him, JD and Musk sentenced to jail for all the constitutional laws and rights they have broken and ignored. Thank you for speaking to the Orange Smurf directly.

Thanks. Somebody has to stop Trump! Don’t close the border, I’m coming❤

I am Anerican & thank Canada & anyone else who stands up to trump.

Thanks to every American who sees what Trump is, and who supports us. We don’t want to lose our friendship with Americans.

Trudeau’s weak leadership has hurt Canada, especially in energy and trade. Now, thanks to his failures, we’re vulnerable to Trump’s policies.

As a Canadian, I would like to thank every people from the USA against this madness from the Pumpkin Clown, Vancy the puppy, Lutnick the Dwarf and their circus crew. Thanks also to everyone else around the world also against this madness. As for the stupid ones supporting Trump... who cares about you? You're all low IQs and vain anyways. *LET'S STAND STRONG AGAINST TRUMP AND HIS CIRCUS!*

Mr Trump ...youre a mean one Mr Grinch ...im proud to be canadien ...Mr Trudeau thank you for your speech ?

Canadian here ????????!! To any Americans reading this comment, my disgust over this whole tariff situation is not on the USA, it’s not Americans, IT’S TRUMP!!! Period!!! There is no doubt millions of you are very angry and embarrassed about what he wants to do. I want our 2 nations to be friends and allies forever. Any animosity between us is just extremely pointless. \n\nI want to thank the Americans who are wishing Canada and us Canadians the best and who are totally against what Trump wants to do!!!

Now that he's on his way out, he gives his best speech ever?! American people, we thank you for words of support. NOW, figure out a way to get rid of Trump and the oligarchs. It will bring down democracy everywhere if America goes down this dictatorial path. WWIII will never be Zelenskyy's fault, it will be your country's fault. Ensure that he does not trample your constitution and find military backing to stay on past the four years if you can't get rid of him soon. Get your representatives in Washington to work against this guy, whether they are Republicans or Dems. In all our countries, we have been complacent, streaming movies, gaming, buying stuff we don't need AND we've elected far too many morons! We need to use the power of democracy to form government to our needs, not the corporate world and oligarchs!

Thank you from America. We don't want Trump either. Perhaps we can send he and Musk to Mars. I hope you give us 50% tariffs, let everyone who voted this charlatan into office pay!

You know what, I still can't believe the Americans were stupid enough to elect trump. And according to the recent poll I saw on CNN 50% of Americans like what he's doing, and only something like 34% see Russia as an enemy. So far from being an accident, trump with his stupid ideas was elected on purpose. The stupidity over there seems to be deep-rooted. I think we all need to take a step back and re-think our relationship with this adolescent nation which has always been a bit gauche but has now definitely gone rogue. Well spoken Mr Trudeau. Thank God for you and Canadians.

My husband works for a Canadian company and he may lose his job because of tarrifs. Thanks Trump!

Trump is trying to isolate us from our allies and ultimately we will get hurt in our wallet , thanks Donald trump !!

Thank you Trudeau for standing up to Trump. You have my respect no matter what ?

Thank you Musk and Trump. You indeed shaken up the world!
