Wherever you are on the political spectrum you have to admit that he's right about what he said at the start. Trump supporters: please look at how Trump is aligning with putin.

Imagine if Trudeau announced that he would be pausing the carbon tax on the Canadian people to help offset some of the costs imposed on us by the United States. Do I respect that he is standing up for Canadians...Yes! Is Donald foolish in creating a trade dispute between his closest friends and Allies...Yes! Who's going to suffer....everyone! Government screwing over the people continues as it always have.
Analyzes government policy trade-offs (carbon tax, trade disputes) and critiques both Trump's approach and broader government failures affecting citizens.

It isn't about drugs, it is the fat fraudster throwing his 200kg around. He is taking weight loss drugs made in the UK, perhaps he should tariff those by several thousand percent? He doesn't understand a trade deficit, he doesn't understand tariffs, in fact he doesn't understand very much that isn't grifting and lying. The world has to come together and cut the US out so Trump and his boss Putin can cuddle up. The US can come back when it has jailed the fat fraudster and decided that criminals should not be allowed in the WH.
Critiques Trump's understanding of trade policy and tariffs while making moral arguments about criminal behavior in office and international cooperation.

Do Americans not understand that if we don’t do the things that need to be done our country will fall. How can yall not see that he is taking care of us before the rest of the world. Have respect for the man who wants his country thriving instead of the world thriving while we suffer and just give out hand outs. Y’all are blind that this country got run into the ground and now he must do what needs to be done to get us out. Sit back, let him cook. When we are secure we can then work on the rest of the world.
Defends prioritizing domestic security and economic interests over international aid, critiquing previous policy approach.

#1. Trump postponed so that Canada wouldn’t literally freeze them out by cutting off energy. Now that winter is ending it’s game on\n#2. If Trump wanted to start a war with Canada he needs congress. The only way to get them on his side is Canada to poke the US in the eye.\n#3. Quit talking about Fentanyl without pointing every finger at China. \n#4. If you like how Trudeau is acting now, after 9 years. That’s just a politician who knows they won’t be re-elected. He still has to protect his party though. Too little too late
Multi-point analysis critiquing Trudeau's political strategy, Trump's intentions, and fentanyl policy while comparing geopolitical positions.

enough with the bullshit myth that we had/have a great immigration system, we haven't for decades, only a complete moron would say so, like Ivison who keeps lying saying there was "CONSENSUS" among who? the politicians? the greedy businesses that want slave labour, cheap labour, the NDP zealots? cause in almost 60 yrs, I've never once, ever, never heard anyone say that they wanted more immigrants in Canada, ever
