Trump is in the process of destablizing the greatest trade relationships in world history, while he angers at least half of his own citizens. This all being done while turning on a country that was our allie until January of 2025. Now he has cut off aid to Ukraine, setting the stage for their defeat. Trump now carries responsibility for the possibllty Ukraine will lose the war. Trump's legacy in history will be of the greatest looser and worst president in the history of the United States of America.
Criticizes Trump's trade and foreign policy decisions while comparing US-Canada relations and international standing.

The country needs the right type of temporary workers that can support the building of housing and not cheap agriculture labor. Also from a student point of view; if they are studying in areas which aren't aligned to the needs of the country then need to go back home. It would be a disservice to Canadian's and the students to keep them here.
Argues for selective immigration policy based on labor market alignment and housing needs, critiquing current temporary worker and student visa programs.

Horrible leader! Fair trade does not equate to being fair in this case. If you charge 25% why is it not fair in return to charge 25%? \nWhy does the world expect the US to cover their butts when our country can't afford it any longer. Why don’t they get that we are 37 trillion in debt? We can no longer afford the world’s unfair trade. Trudeau doesn't like the taste of his own medicine. He could lift the tariffs on the US and then there would be no reciprocal tarriff. He's only hurting Canadians.
Criticizes the leader's trade policy as unfair and argues for reciprocal tariffs, while claiming the policy harms Canadians.

What is this one sided, emotionally manipulative BS? "oh no, deporting people who aren't allowed to be here costs money!" Yes. Yes, maintaining our borders costs money. Being in Canada isn't a universal right.

I thought you were gone Trudy. We like you Canada but we don’t really need you. We can solve the problems we get from you in 15 minutes. This guy has no problem freezing protesters bank accounts, forcing people to scan QR codes to decided who eats at a restaurant, and government sanctioned beatings of peaceful protesters because they dare stand up for freedom. Canada wake up. Trudy is a good old fashioned communist. The more he fights back against Trump, the more I know Trump is right.
Primarily critiques Trudeau's policies (bank freezes, QR codes, protest response) with unverified claims about government actions and identity-based framing of political opposition.

Trudeau still doesn't get it: it doesn't matter what he thinks or does for the US. It won't be enough to please Trump unless he sells his country to him.
