I thought this guy put his resignation forever ago I guess that was a joke? I find it funny that Canada is so strong and fighting back but their people are already fighting to just eat everyday and trying to get to the food bank everyday! You would think the the Pm would be more focused on helping his people then he is about helping and standing with Ukraine, pretty soon he won’t have any people to fight for!
Criticizes government priorities, arguing the PM should focus on domestic economic hardship (food banks) rather than international commitments.

It is interesting how T operates he throws shit at the wall he scans for performative opportunities to flood the zone. The 51st rhetoric got him play. Then he justifies his tariffs with lies and half truths. US has benefitted economically and in terms of influence from being the big cheese. The order issue just another justification after the fact. . .facts do not support. T is the poor victim. Maga are victims???? Just opportinistic and grifter politics. Sickening.
Detailed analysis and criticism of Trump's political tactics, tariff justifications, and perceived dishonesty.

Indian government warned about criminals coming to canada and requested to send them back so they can be prosecuted in india but canada government refused.

Here's what I don't get, Canada will act upon tariffs being implemented, however, when asked about upping the military budget to 2% years ago as a part of Nato because it was at 1.3% and this guy said would do it but lied and still didn't do it. Now I don't like this tariff being pushed to them but at the same time do your part as partner. As of 2025, 23/32 reached that goal and Canada is stil at 1.3% -_-
Critiques Canada's failure to meet NATO military spending commitments while acknowledging tariff concerns, balancing accountability across both parties.

Honestly at this point I hope he crashes the economy. That is maybe the only last resort the Americans will see common sense and turn against their wannabe dictator and his crown prince before it is too late. You guys voted a dictator in because you thought Biden somehow caused the world wide inflation. Well what do you think 25% of import tariffs are going to do.
Criticism of US economic policy (tariffs) with underlying anxiety about economic consequences and political leadership.
