Canada, hit us with everything you got. We the good Americans fighting will weather the storm. Show the red states who just won't get it the truth!! Cut the power. Whatever you havebto do!! We will hold. Love you Canada!!!

As an American, I'm sorry for what Canadians will suffer from these tariffs. I'm NOT sorry for what we Americans will suffer. The pain of consequences is the only path toward positive change. Wishing Canadians the best as we all weather this storm.

From India: Keep it up Canada, stay strong, you will weather this storm.

Despite: \n \n- Releasing felons and undermining the justice system, \n- Picking fights with every U.S. ally, \n- Suggesting NATO can no longer rely on America a direct gift to Russia’s strategic goals, \n- Dismantling government institutions, weakening internal stability, \n- Defying the rule of law and disregarding the separation of powers, \n- Appointing loyalists to key positions, consolidating control, \n- Leaving the U.S. vulnerable to Russian cyberattacks by scaling back security efforts, \n- Siding with adversarial nations like Russia while alienating traditional allies, \n- Smearing a democratically elected president at war pushing for a regime change that favors Russia, \n- And systematically weakening global alliances, fracturing Western unity to Russia’s benefit, \n- Ignoring the growing threat of Chinese expansion, weakening the U.S. position in global power struggles, \n- Encouraging political violence and extremism, further fracturing the social fabric and putting democracy itself at risk, \n- Turning a blind eye to the economic crisis, with inflation, rising debt, and an unstable market exacerbated by reckless economic policies, \n- Chipping away at civil liberties, normalizing authoritarian behavior, and restricting freedom of speech. \n \nTrump is still your president. \nAnd what does the U.S. have to show for it? \n \n- No strengthened alliances. \n- No economic gains. \n- No enhanced national security. \n- No diplomatic victories. \n- No solid foundation for the future just a nation divided, with its core values slowly eroding. \n \nEvery move seems to serve Russia’s interests while leaving America weaker, more isolated, and more divided. \nAnd yet, there are no mass protests, no storming of the Capitol, no widespread political fallout. The U.S. hasn’t fallen in a blaze. It’s crumbling quietly, a victim of divide and conquer.

JD VANCE.. WHAT AN IDIOT!!!! . Today he slagged off European armies that fought and died beside US troops. Desert Storm, Irak, afghanistan and some more. As random small armies with no experience.Pretty much useless... \n The anger from allied vets, military personal ect. is furious!! To say the least.. \nJeez, That is some way to disrespect the fallen allies.. That is irreparible. Despite how much smooth talking he or Donald Putin will try with.. He is obviously dumb f..ed

The biggest problem with Canada is not its sorry excuse for a PM (although he is a major problem), its Canadians themselves. Spoiled, arrogant, naive & extremely docile. Recipe for a perfect storm. 51 is our best play, but we'll miss the opportunity on that one too I bet.

As a Canadian who has lived my whole life here, in my opinion there were two major factors that need to be highlighted that started this mess: fiscal policy and focus on fringe politics. First, Canada came out of the 2008 meltdown relatively unscathed due to following a markedly different strategic path than other major countries, namely tight banking regulations as well as 15 years of paying down the national debt. However, several years after 2008, sentiment shifted to adopting the same MMT-led fiscal policies as other nations: lower interest rates and deficit spending. Secondly, at least 10 years ago, there was a major political shift to start emphasizing fringe social issues (climate, race-based, gender, etc.) instead of standard issues such as the economy or military to name two, and it was strongly evident in academia and in the media. The result was little governmental, public or media attention being paid to core economic concerns such as the massive growing government and consumer debt levels, highly inflationary housing market, or decreasing productivity. When COVID hit, the government further doubled the existing federal debt and when they found that unsustainable, opened the doors to massive immigration levels to bring the Debt-per-Capita ratio down which while helping in that one metric, has further inflated the housing market all while forcing wages down. We now have unsustainable public debt levels, unaffordable housing, decreasing wages, decreasing productivity, and a troubling reactionary political swing towards extremist right-wing ideologies. Top that off with the US administration seeing Canada is on an economic precipice and threatening to take the country over, there couldn't be a more perfect storm.

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.

Stop the lies. No immigrants are storming into the USA. FAKE NEWS.

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.

Once again, this report from Cash Jordan is simply nonsense. As an upstate New Yorker, I am very familiar with the northern border and it is nearly deserted. No crowds of migrants are storming across! No gangs! Nobody except a few Canadians heading down to Florida for the winter. And I frequently visit NYC and there are zero problems with migrants in the city. If anything, they are more courteous, more law-abiding and more hard-working than people brought up in our own indulgent culture. S

If they would put this much organized effort into storming our border then they can storm there capital and forcefully push out their corrupt government. They need to channel that energy into saving their own country

Apparently they all felt it necessary to ban together and storm the border..\nThen the border patrol should rather than just stand there shake their heads left and right no you can't come in break out the freaking water cannons the tear gas and the beanbags ..\nGuaranteed the crowd will disperse and go back from once they came ..or that's too simple of a remedy..?\nThey do it to our college students all the time or at least they used to.!

Someone told me that Trump was r*cist because he keeps deporting POC. But she wouldn't look at the large numbers of POC storming the gates.

I would like to see Americans storm the border of a country and expect them to house us.

Give em the booth they been on that free gravy train for far to long crocodile tears ain’t gonna help them they got all that energy to storm the boarders but they don’t wanna take the time to go thru the proper channels and enter the US the right way

WHY is everyone SHOCKED that they are shackled? They came into the US illegally which means that they BROKE THE LAW, which in turn means, they are CRIMINALS! Imagine being the pilot of that plane? Would you feel safe flying that plane, knowing that behind you, there are angry, unshackled, illegal criminals ready to maybe storm the cockpit, in the hopes to turn back the plane to the US? lol.

Wonder what would happen to ten thousand Woke Democrats that stormed into Mexico demanding free lunch? They would be lunch.

I remember in Matamoros 4 or 5 years ago a group of migrants stormed the bridge. I was crossing to work on a daily basis at the time and had to cross the BM Bridge because Gateway Bridge was where these clowns staged their protest. Barriers were erected, guns were locked and loaded and these scumbags put the CHILDREN in their group at the front, as some kind of shield. They disrupted the lives of a huge part of the city because so many of us cross on a daily basis, to school, work, etc. I've got several stories of how awful they were in the slum they set up in front of the bridge...

Hey CNN, where is your video on Maxine Waters storming the Education Building...looking like a fool , as usual. I'm shocked that you wouldnt want to show your viewers how unhinged the left has become. That security guard deserves a darn raise.

This is the first time I heard of this mass storming of the boarder

So what happens when criminals storm into your house, uninvited or your property uninvited what happens then? problem solved.

They have every right to storm the borders, they all are entitled for free programs and free money paid for by all Americans' tax dollars\n\nIn fact, they are entitled to fly their own country flag on American soil while claiming their own independence too\n\n???????

This proves another reason we dont want you here! You are willing to storm the border, come in illegally and totally ignore doing this the right way!! If it came to the way Poland handles things this would stop!

Wow, think of a third world country who would just open fire on these storming people. Think what would happen to people busting through a border in Europe during WWII. Only in America can people act like this and there is no consequence.

Storming a border like that is an invasion and if your country is being invaded you should defend it

Try to storm a border on just about any other country, and you'd be shot.

This reminds me of the maga storming the Capitol...

I'm reading.\n Some of the comments. I know my opinion may not matter. But it may eh inside some people. I hope I guess the way that I would look at this is being in their shoes. It's completely different than ours. We are given opportunities from birth. Basically to common deer, the life that we would like to have well, at least most of us are. In the United States, people from degrading. Or degraded countries are not giving those opportunities. So I would imagine over the years. Any type of hope that they had for a great country is depleted. Solidarity in countries like that is not accepted it would be suppressed. It would be stormed on and smashed out by the you. See an opportunity to better your life and your children's life. And it's the fourth quarter and there's 2 seconds on the time clock. And you've only got one play to make. We all go for what the big hell, Mary and I think that's what these people are doing and God bless every one of them. That are good people. I feel sorry for this situation. I wish the world was a better place, but unfortunately it's not all we can do is pray for these individuals that hope that they find solace in what they're looking for. And we have to prefer ourselves also and pray that God takes care of our country.And theirs god bless everyone in this world

These illegals should remember that they can't storm the borders of the greatest country on earth. These Venezuelans loved communist and socialists politicians and they should lived with the socialist leaders they have elected. They get leaders that they have elected and should not let Americans to feed and provide housing and other benefits.

They're trained to think it's okay to storm the border. Rude awakening. Yay!

Did our ancestors storm Ellis Island and other depots. No. This is the future Americans that'll riot just like this. They surly didn't do it in their homeland for sure.

How dare they think that they can storm somebody and force us to take them they should have been fighting for their selves this whole time

It's simply crazy that these people think they can just storm our border and walk in ...oh right, biden and harris invited them in and allowed it to happen for 4 years. ENOUGH!

Any and every country in the world would be using deadly force towards these lunatics!\nYOU CANNOT STORM A COUNTRY AND FORCE YOURSELVES INTO A COUNTRY PERIOD!!!

They must be crazy thinking they would just storm through the border

I can see people storming the white house like he did. Hes out of control and there prices will all climb gor everything in the states. He raises tarraffs and their food will double. Is he nuts??? Yes hes got beginning stages of dementia and will have to be taken out of office soon because hes in dane. A want a be dictator

My daughter is 5 months pregnant and lives in Canada, she hasn't even seen a damn Dr , and she can't because she can't get insurance , I have to send her money weekly for food, because she can't get foodstamps.\nI'm worried sick because she lost her 1st child by a miscarry and it was horrific, if she had had prenatal care maybe she wouldn't had lost the baby , \nMy point , I'm scraping money together toget her home so she can get medical care, and those women get it handed to them for free, as soon as they storm our border.\nYea, I'm pissed

It’s a violent invasion. Where’s the military, one Bradley would stop that in seconds. Other countries would use force if we stormed their borders.

Look what that deplorable Biden administration caused …. These people think they can just storm into the country ….. this is a disgrace ! Thank You so much lousy Democrats !

So lets say if all the countries in South America, don't agree with trump hes gonna impose tariffs. Now no country wants to pay extra so their gonna reach out to China and Russia for security. Next thing you know the pacific is storming with chinese and russian vessels. Is this what trump wants??

So... was the storming successful????

Don’t they realize we the Americans voted for this. This we don’t want them here. However they’re trying to storm through. I don’t understand storming through somewhere you’re unwanted you feel ok living here, and feel you’re not an issue. The entitlement is disgusting. I’m so tired of this.

If you are thinking about entering the United States illegally at the cost of your child's safety and your safety is it really worth it to be pimped out by the cartel that is the sad reality you or your baby will go through do not send your baby alone that is the most messed up inhuman thing anyone who has sent their baby alone is a monster because you don't even care what's going to happen to that baby you just care that one day they can send you money that is greed that is of greed sad reality you send your baby over the border illegally and it gets traffic there's not going to be no money sent home to Mommy and Daddy because either they're going to get murked before they're able to work or probably turn into drugs in their adult age because of all of the trauma do not send your women alone the cartel will pimp them out if you go through the wrong way do not trust people that say that they can get you in they are most likely the cartel planning to hurt you go storm your own capital you guys are taking away our housing it should be first for the people that were born here I have no bias against you because you're from another country but I have every bit of biased towards your behavior you guys have shity behavior that are crossing over illegally and at first I was for the families but now I'm not sure

Great energy to survive…. Go back to your country and storm your Bad government out of office.

Biden caused this. These kinds of mass storming the border NEVER happened before Biden. He’s ruined America.

Every country would have opened fire, including Mexico if masses of people stormed their border like this, but we're wrong for wanting ours protected. Make it make sense ??‍♂️

Us as Americans would have been shot if we stormed the Mexican border.. Think about that…
