In February, US border control seized under half an ounce of illegal Fentanyl at the Canadian border. So, Trump values half an ounce of Fentanyl as equal to risking 200,000 US jobs and making a long-term enemy of America's closest ally. Is the man sane?

Well done, Prime Minister Trudeau. You make me proud to be Canadian.

This idiot already quit, no one is listening to anything Trudeau has to say. Tariffs on the Americans only costs Canadians more, tariffs on Canadians make Canadians pay more. So you see, Liberals have to go, then tariffs go away. CANADA CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT AMERICAN MARKETS LET THAT SINK IN. Cancelled pipeline, not paying up in NATO, not stopping drug flow, not fair in trade to the USA 200 billion in difference, you see the Liberals are in panic mode and its all their fault starting with his word salad speechs that mean nothing.

Make America Canadian. They are sane. ?

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

There's a Canadian federal election coming up...I hope voters make the right decision

Trump has said that companies can avoid the tariffs by moving their businesses to the US. Ok so Trump tries to make the US richer on the backs of the Canadian economy.

Pretty bad when make even the Canadians mad..I'm from Buffalo Canada please adopt Healthcare would be awesome

Why does he continue to provoke the US president? He resigned and rather step down with dignity, he chooses cause as much damage before he leaves. Justin Trudeau bears full responsibility for the burdens Canadians now face. He imposed and continually increased the carbon tax, draining the pockets of hardworking citizens while offering little in return. He neglected Canada’s NATO commitments, failing to uphold our obligations on the world stage. His tenure has been marred by repeated ethical scandals, each one a testament to his disregard for integrity in leadership. \n\nNow, as the weight of his missteps comes full circle, he faces the consequences of his own policies. The economic strain he placed on his own people is now mirrored in the tariffs and pressures from the United States—a reckoning of his own making. And even in his resignation, rather than stepping aside with dignity, he continues to provoke President Trump with baseless rhetoric, further endangering Canada’s relationship with its greatest ally. \n\nTrudeau’s legacy will not be one of progress, but of division, economic hardship, and lost opportunities. And now, he reaps what he has sown.

So agree with Canadian prime minister. Trim does everything to make life of Americans harder. The US is loosing all of it allies

YOU CANT MAKE HEADWAY WITH PUTINS KGB AGENT IN THE WHITEHOUSE....\n\n\nTHANK YOU FOR STANDING STRONG FOR CANADA AND CANADIANS.\n\nWE WILL NOT BOW TO RUSSIA AKA USA

Is there no one at CNN who can translate French? Really? I'm American, and I'm hoping Trudeau announces that he's making trade deals with Europe (and even China) that cut us out. Betraying our allies should never be incentvised. I'm even hoping they cut off our oil, which WILL jack gas prices, since our refineries in the Midwest are only deisgned to process Canadian crude. And the truth is that the reason for the tariffs is that Trump has direct control over them, and can probably have Elon do something with the revenue that couldn't be done with normal taxes. We're all getting screwed here.

The Western Canadian people stand with Trump! We are ready for a referendum and we are ready to make Canada an Autonomous 51st state of the USA! To Republic ????? God Bless!

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

Canadian here - It's so nice to have a leader that can actually speak in full sentences and makes sentence. We can be proud!

Yo Justin, just make sure to not add tariffs that are going to hurt us fellow Canadians.

?? Canadian’s need to Stop using Amazon ‼️ … Make Jeff Bezos suffer ‼️

Trump is right now making trade arrangements with Belarus and Russia for potash, while 25% tarrifs on Canadian potash that come from within a 100 miles of border. Coded annexation talk will be coming from Trump at that address tonight - threats designed for his base to put Canada in a bad light.

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

Indians have used Canada like a flop house. Indians go to diploma mills and try to use it as a backdoor to stay in Canada. They take over Canadian communities and try to turn them into India - making the locals feel like foreigners in their own home. They're also involved in a lot of crime. This includes: auto theft rings, synthetic ID/credit fraud, gun and drug smuggling, and one of the largest gold heists in Canadian history at Toronto Pearson airport. Americans have stated that the top nationality entering the US illegally from Canada is Indian. The drugs they are complaining about entering the US from Canada are almost entirely brought in by Indian truck drivers (Google it and find many examples). A Fentanyl super lab in BC capable of producing over 95 million lethal doses that was busted was run by an Indian. This is now threatening trade with our main trade partner as a trade war has just started. ENOUGH ALREADY! Indians need to be sent home, and banned from entering Canada.

it's not complicated: canadian boomers got rich with houses by making it impossible to build new ones and by flooding the country with migrants. So what are the young canadians going to do? oh right vote for the left because they were brainwashed in every canadian education system. No hope

Canada elected a leader who wears Blackface.... then they elected him again.... Then elected him again.... Economy is trashed so he is abandoning the ship to make the new leader his financial advisor (Mark Carney)..... Canadians are so dumb they will elect the old leaders finance advisor and things will get even worse. SMH

43% of GenZ want to become the 51st state. A significantly higher figure want to move to the US.\nLets be clear here, the loyalty is only to the Canadian people right now. There is absolutely ZERO loyalty over this colonial puppet state that only became a thing in the 1980's, and has utterly failed its population for the past DECADE.\nThey (quite litterally I may add) would rather see us OD on the streets than have a 3% reduction in housing. \nEvery 25 year old I know, are living with their parents despite having 6 figure jobs.\n\nWe Canadians beat our chest and act hard when the US says this, but we turn a blind eye to Chinese/Indian/Iranian foreign influence and extrajudicial killings. The fact our own people are threatened and killed by foreign governments is insane. But the DOUBLE STANDARD we have in being everybodys doormat while rejecting integration with the US, is insane. \n\nWe litterally have avoided MULTIPLE recessions because the US has bailed us out time and time again. notably in 2021. Were in the G7 only because of the US.\nOur GDP also litterally collapsed in 2015, and were only drudging on by because the US helped us along. They dont want to do that anymore.\n\nCanada is dead, and our economy is dead. I have no loyalty to a government that wants me either dead or a slave to make money for BOOMERS. \nI would be a BOOTLICKER if I was to support the Canadian government.

This video is horrible. I don't know what political angle is, but the real problems are very well known and have nothing to do with what you said. First, housing is incredibly difficult to build in Canada because of regulations and land title problems, I.e., you don't own that land, the indians do. On top of that, there is a constant influx of immigrant that require housing that doesn't exist. Children cry because they cannot leave their parents' houses because they can't move anywhere, so they can't find any jobs locally, and they're trapped. There is no will in the canadian government to change these immigration policies, to change the land rules so that people can own land and build houses, or do anything about their incredibly micro managed economy that makes it impossible to do anything. If so, yeah, they go to the US to have a future while Canada stagnants and dies.

My problem with the doom and gloom is people love to blame all our problem on the current PM and “wokeness”. I am not saying JT and the Liberals don’t deserve any criticism they do but all the time it’s for all the wrong reasons. Public Housing is a provincial issue, Healthcare is a provincial issue zoning is a municipal issue. However all of these issues are made worse by lack of public housing funding (looking at you Doug Ford) and nimbyism at the municipal level (looking at you Rob Ford and almost every mayor large Canadian cites have had). My parents hate JT now because property prices came down slightly but they loved him during Covid when prices went through the roof. When the liberals implemented the mortgage stress test they hated him and voted conservative in 2019 because Andrew Scheer went on the news and said he will get rid of it. When the liberals got rid of the stress test on first time homebuyers they loved the liberals again. They are property developers so they don’t mind paving over the Agricultural land reserve but god forbid a fourplex is built in our neighborhood. However I am not too cynical I have seen progress by the current government AFTER THEY WHERE -20pts in the polls. Now I just hope the Tories don’t get rid of the Housing accelerator fund and other funds that will make a impact in 10 years.

If Canada uses it's wisdom to choose a leader with an aptitude for economics, and behaves with the collectivistic humility we are known for, perhaps we will weather this storm and come out stronger on the other side. When making decisions from fear or anger, Canadians become individualistic and do our entire nation a major disservice by destroying any chance of using this crisis to propel our way out of the pit we are currently in. We need to avoid pointing fingers because for decades cowardly and self-serving decision-making have led us here. Never forget that the new immigrant delivering your food isn't your enemy - the con artist/felon trying to steal our resources and autonomy is.

Not only is Canada bringing in mass amount of unskilled immigrants, but they are are subsidizing their wages, driving down wages even further as Canadians entering the work force can't compete for jobs when companies can pay well below minimum wage for foreign workers who will be topped up by the government. Our own taxes are being used to make our own citizens more poor.

Canadians, like most developed people, are socially isolated and too busy working to make sense of anything. Most Canadians are on partisan autopilot and fundamentally confused about most things.\nHuman civilization has not solved food or energy scarcity. Nothing we are doing is sustainable. So all of our rivalrous dynamics are downstream from these profound vulnerabilities.

As an Australian who was born, raised, and has returned to VicDanistan... It's been a humiliating few years.\n\nBut when that same man's story has the added context of the fact that I happen to be here as a result of the path my (late) father took, coming here from Thunder Bay Ontario... The region our family had been in since the 17th century... and ironically live in Canadian, Victoria (so named due to the unknown Canadian killed in the Eureka Stockade).\n\nWhen I consider all that, it often feels as though the simulation is just trying to make jokes. \n\nBut I can assure you, it's not a life story that's easy to get behind, or laugh at. The maple leaf or even the southern cross are no star spangled banner, not in this current year, that's for sure.

Why are rhey coming over threw Canada border not staying in Canada, since Canada said they would take them all in.\nBut yet don't.\nOr its Canadian? \nThere country that bad.?\nJust all talk i guess.?\nBut we can't help out our America, homeless people.\nDoesn't make sense any at all.

3:16 why do we have to care so much for the opportunities of foreigners? They have infiltrated our government and weaponized our care for them against us. Canadians are dying over it, being forced to forfeit our taxes AND healthcare AND police protection AND housing AND cost of living. they don't care for us at all. They have no care about our opportunities they only make demands. All they contribute to is the natural GDP of their being here. They think coming here to replace us makes them good people, and we should appreciate them for giving us all of this diversity. it's madness and half of my family died over it the past few years. please make them leave. Stop letting them in and get them out of our government.

Canadian doctors don’t want to communicate with their patients by email or phone because they want us go in person so they will get paid. You cannot call in and ask to repeat a medication either you have to go in and visit them in person so they can get paid. My last visit to my family doctor presented like 8 missed appointments with her and wanted\n me to pay.? I asked where did you generate those from? She claimed the system.?‍♀️ I ended up paying for one only which was a physical app. I knew about and she waved the and still make mi paid.

Tyler, I’m surprised. Canadians are more outraged about gun violence in the U.S., especially against children, than Americans are?! Killing children ANYWHERE in your country should make you crazy angry, and insist on changing the gun culture! Insane!

If you can’t cut it, leave please. You’ve been fired. You just don’t know it. And Canadians aren’t all about people from northern countries because they’re white. It’s because they’re from the North, where if you don’t make it work, you freeze. They’re hard-working. They sacrifice. They put their nose to the grindstone and stick together until they win. If not for themselves, for their children and their country.

Im Canadian with a lot of health issues. Many trips to the ER, the longest I have had to wait, was about 15 mins. And if it was real serious, I was seen by a doctor immediately. I hear people complain about wait time, but the problem we have is that many people take advantage of the ER instead of making an apt with their family Dr. So if it's not an emergency and you go to the E.R. you will wait.

COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Trump is sending busloads of illegal immigrants from NYC and dropping them off at the Canadian border because that's cheaper than legally deporting them. This clown has them going the wrong way. They are counting the illegal immigrants Canada caught and is sending back to NYC by bus. MAGA idiots trying to make Trump the Frump look good.\nWhat these American geniuses should be looking at is:\nD. J. Trump has been a valuable asset to the Russian services for 40 years?\n\nAccording to former Soviet agent Yuri Shewrew, who moved to the U.S. in 1993 and obtained U.S. citizenship, Donald Trump was classified by the KGB as valuable services for forty years. Szłowie, former KGB Major, is currently one of the most important sources in Craig Unger’s book. “The American Comsar.” In addition to this thread, the book examines the president’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a U.S. financier, who died in 2019.\n\nUnger claims that Trump first interested the Russians in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, a Czech model. At that time, he became the target of a spy operation supervised by Czechoslovak intelligence in cooperation with the KGB. Three years later, when Trump opened his first major Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City, he bought 200 TVs from Siemon Kislin, a Soviet immigrant who co-owner of the electronic company Joy-People at Fifth Avenue. According to Szedema, Joy-People was controlled by the KGB, and Kislin worked as her agent and selected Trump, a young, growing businessman, as a potentially valuable intelligence.\n\nWhen in 1987. Trump and his wife visited Moscow and Leningrad for the first time, the future president held many business meetings, including KGB officers. According to the Sędzim, Russian officials who perfectly identified the narcissism of the interlocutor and his psychological and intellectual weaknesses led a real “offensive of charm”, flattered him and emphasized that his personality made a huge impression on them. They suggested that such a man should deal with politics, that only people like him can change the world. According to Szbla and Unger, Trump was the perfect target for recruitment in many ways, especially because of vanity and narcissism.\n\nTrump almost immediately “entered” a new role, i.e. “joyfully parroted anti-Western propaganda.” Shortly after his return to the United States, he began his efforts among the Republicans to nominate for his candidacy for president, and even organized an election rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. On September 1, 1987, he published a full-page ad-icing in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Boston Globe, in which, among other things, he accused the Alliance of the U.S. and expressing his skeleticism to the U. According to Trump, America should stop paying to defend countries that can defend themselves. Such actions caused real euphoria in the USSR. Trump has already made the same the same theses as president.\n\nTrump's victory in the 2016 election. The Russians accepted with satisfaction. Special investigator Robert Mueller did not detect a conspiracy between members of the Trump staff and the Russians, but revealed at least 272 contacts and 38 meetings with people linked to Russia. The storm told The Guardian that he was disappointed with the investigation because there were no counterintelligence aspects of Trump’s relations with Moscow. According to Unger, Trump was definitely an asset to the Russian services, and his book “will start where Mueller ended.”\n\nSource: The Guardian of 29.01.2021.\n\nMelanija Knavs [now Melania Trump] was born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia, now part of present-day Slovenia, on April 26, 1970. Her father Viktor Knavs first worked as a chauffeur, and he eventually sold car parts for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer as he made connections with the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, the national communist party.\n\nWhy do you think Trump is so anti-Ukraine? Putin also has sex tapes showing Trump with adolescent girls in Russia, and Trump also owes Putin billions of dollars.

I am a person that loves nature. I am really hoping that the bear, wolf, and moose populations are healthy enough to help with this issue naturally. Make America AND Canada great again. I am an American who loves to vacation in the Canadian wilderness. I love the people I know in both countries. I think and hope we are turning a corner for good in both countries.

the comments show how dumb the american population in, 16k could be Canadians. But hey, so many want an authoritarian regime while listening to this guy make profit off their stupidity.

canadian and mexico makes lot of money frm indians and both this country know they have no reason to visit or study some how they aquire fake documents and get visas and for canada u can just do it online that easy next step walk in usa and above all canada makes a lot of money by selling its visa and mexic makes lot of money by harboruing miillions they dont care about usa they hate usa

From a Canadian. I have never once voted for any do these Liberals and I'm doing everything I can to make sure they lose the next election. Sorry our politicians use us as pawns in their game.

I'm a Canadian and I had no clue that we had this issue... Most of our media is government funded and so they don't report wrong doings of the administration like they should, plus lots of censoring so this is the first im hearing of it. Crazy I had to hear from an American what's really happening at the Canadian border. Trumps tariff threats due to our lax boarder makes sense now

THIS ??ian would like to let Trump know how appreciative and thankful we are for him forcing our fuhrer to lock down the border better. BUT, don't be fooled. The leading 'party' use a heavier hand than ANY mob and make tones of $$ with it wide open! The plan to destroy us from the inside out is still going on here - FULL TILT! I am so thankful it's come to a STOP for our Amerifriends. I believe electing that common sense man into office didn't just save you, but has saved MANY countries. Possibly the ? ! Now, if he could ONLY figure out how to hit J.T WITHOUT hurting us Canuks! There ARE ways! Many ways TRUST! \n<--Go MAPLE ? MAGA! \nLET'S MAKE ?? CANADIAN AGAIN! ❤

Just for the looks of the video, I can't think of any Northern states or any Canadian province that borders with the desert in between?. That's all clips that the southern border the illegals coming across are the ones coming from the states into Canada. They're trying to make it seem like it's the other way around cuz they want us to secure their Northern borders. If they want it secure they can pay for it

December 2024, Canadian Parliament approved a plan to secure their border with the US.\nJanuary 2024, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed the Parliament and delayed the election of a new Parliament until March, giving him 3 months of carte blanche. One of his first acts was to cancel the plan to secure their border, claiming that it was too expensive.\nFebruary 2024, US President Donald Trump forced PM Trudeau to reinstate the plan by making the tariffs more expensive than it would be to secure their border.

as a canadian citizen of over 70 years ....GO TRUMP.\nour present weak minded woke idot of a leader trudeau ,,,,has resigned .\nthis snowflake makes biden look like a genius .\ni would put justin on par with kamala in intelligence .

So, Canada is allowing these people into their country to sneak into our country. They couldn't get to our northern border if Canada didn't accommodate them. Entry into North American countries most be much more restrictive. Does the Canadian officials really think that turning away foreigners that say they are vacationing for two weeks is going to cripple their silly economy? They are telling Canadian border officials that, then they have two weeks to find their way into the United States. Moreover, the buses leaving Canada must meet very high restrictions and more Canadian border agents must be on duty. I'm fed up with my country being a flop house for the world. With all the energy they have to come here, they should put toward their own shit hole countries to make them better.

ya as a Canadian .. we are fuking pissed our gov let this shit happen to. \nit's not us as Canadians .. please stop making it out to be the Canadians that are doing it. .were not .. our fuking re tardted gov did this ... not us. stop blaming the citizens please. . I hate the gov we have a d just because of them you guys are blaming us as individuals .. like we have a choies .. if we had a say we would lock down our country and boot the lot of them right back to where they flooded in from. they are fuking us over multiple ways over. not just you guys. \n\nopen your eyes to see the reality .. not just what the media and now YouTubers are pushing that hate Canada. .. wtf .. we have been right beside you in war and other things as friends and now because of a few re tards you blame all of us. lol. just call the fuk down and open your eyes .

For a really long time drugs and people have been using the same spot, Ever since the days of prohibition, a the federally-recognized government of the Saint Regis Mohawk Reservation at Akwesasne. The territory under our jurisdiction lies south of the border dividing the United States and Canada, you can drive in the Canadain side and come out in the US upstate New York,\nAug 2, 2016 — Organized crime uses the highly porous Mohawk reservation as a conduit for illicit cargo, Oct 28, 2017 — Some Mohawks resent any presence of US or Canadian law enforcement in the reservation , they are letting the people pass no matter what they're bringing and don't want any law enforcement to even step on their grounds, so maybe their making money that way...

Im Canadian and while the tariffs are gonna suck, I completely understand why Trump is doing it. Our government is an absolute clown show and what's worse is now the politicians and corporate media here have spun this whole thing as Trumps fault and alot of Canadians are falling for it buying into this whole US vs Canada BS. Like this all coulda been avoided if our politicians would've actually fixed the border YEARS ago, instead of legalizing heroin, making a gender neutral national anthem and making it illegal to misgender someone. \n \nHonestly I'm so embarrassed to be Canadian these days that being the 51st state is pretty appealing. I support gun rights, low taxes, deporting illegals, love proper BBQ and work for a paycheck. So if anyone in a red state is hiring, I'm happy to relocate..

CBC in Canada makes $1.8billion per yr paid for by Canadian Gov, using taxpayer money, and $500k in ad revenue, and now the Gov is going to give CBC another $1billion in taxpayer $ per yr. WHAT network needs $2.5 BILLION in taxpayer $ per yr, purely to promote Government propaganda!?\nWelcome to the lies of Canadian Gov and the loss of free speech in Canada
