Ask our best friend there to the north how come Canadians get a dual citizenship to live in the US an American citizens can't. I think we've been more ingenious in the past to them and all the rest that distilled from our country.

take back everything you instated for trump with border security and let them deal with there own drug problems... and start refusing american goods at the border... tell them we only pay a set amount or send it back! when the US asks why we did it we can tell them it was to cover the costs of tarriffs that trump thinks the government pays... well lets make his words ring true at their expense!

Canada 51st state?Better say please and dont forget to ask KING CHARLES III of CANADA The King might say NOT FOR SALE to dementia patients CANADA NOT FOR SALE DID iJUST NOT SAY THAT dONNY In case you forgot CANADA NOT FOR SALE maybe just maybe for rubles not for american money Donny how about YOUR face on the one dollar George is getting too old,dang didnt mean to put ideas in your demented mind

I hope Canada's retaliatory tariffs target products from Trump states. Also, listening to Trudeau reminds me how much I miss having an intelligent, articulate POTUS. Four years of The Orange Retard, then four years of Geriatric Genocide Joe, and now four more years of The Orange Retard. Why is it too much to ask that We Americans have an articulate, educated leader who's undiminished by senescence (bonus points for speaking French!)

American supporters of Donald Trump. Stop, look, and listen to what you’re hearing here today. Are all the world leaders and people across the world wrong? What makes any of you think that Trump is right? Are you really willing to continue to stand with that man as he dismantles all relationships with allies and all fellow human beings who stand for democracy? Look at what he’s already been allowing Musk to do so far at this point in this country. The time has come to truly ask yourselves what you stand for and make the right choice

i am Canadian.....\n\ni am embarrassed by trump and feel for my American brothers..... i want to know what the end game is for trump - if he feels he gonna bully Canada or other nations he has grossly underestimated those that have supported the US through thick and thin...\n\nif his end game is under cutting NATO - he should review history and realize that the only country that ever requested helps officially under NATO was the US which we in Canada offered no questions asked...\n\nall i say to my Amercian brothers, his term is only 4yrs - we will welcome you back into the fold when this nonsense with Trump is over... I just hope that my politicians dont cause any nonsense and toe the line in being professional...

This clown is definitely in the running for one of the weakest most pathetic leaders ever. And for all you “Americans” siding with Canada and theft from the American tax payers, you should move to Canada since your weak minds fit right into Canadas weak minds. \nFor the clowns threatening to do more business and side with Europe, go ahead. You probably should ask Ukraine about how helpful Europe really is!!

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

I'm an American!!! I didn't ask for this!! I love Canada. I want peace

President Trump is not going to listen to you if you are not stopping the flow of fentanyl coming into the US. President Trump doesn't play games with business so you Mr. PM Trudeau are not doing what President Trump asked you to do. The fentanyl flowing in from Canada is hurting American people and it's unacceptable to President Trump. If Trudeau wants to work with Americans he has to stop lying and do what President Trump asked him to do.

Reciprocal tariffs are not enough to slow down this new dictatorship. As Americans, we are asking our fellow allies for help. Withhold critical component exports. Force our CEOs out into the streets to join protesters!

Canada has removed American products off our shelves,.. \n\nYour president did this to you,.. we did not ask for this,.. but you Poked the Sleeping Bear,..\n\nEnjoy you high grocery prices,..

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)

Instead of trying to cross American boarder. Why not rally to their government and ask why they can't give them a better life.

I am 100 percent confident that her question was so well crafted that she would by no chance ask this question out of her intelligence. Second, Why Arabs should take them as Refugees , Why Not American and Europeans who are hell bent to NOT Veto to stop this war. It amazes me how a question can absolutely put the blame on the one who have nothing to do with this war. Very well said of Saudi FM.

FORMER luxury hotels being the key word. Once they’re all out they’ll be really pleased with the amount of damage done by people who don’t believe they need to take care of their own spaces. Every one of those hotels will get exactly what they asked for and no one will ever want to stay until they are torn down and rebuilt from all the damage. God bless elitist liberals in NY who don’t have to be anywhere near the crime and struggle but feel good about themselves for inflicting it on American citizens who can’t afford to live in penthouses. Hey libtards what comes around goes around. Maybe not in this life but I wish you luck in the next.

I remember posting comments trying to find out how much it was costing the American taxpayer to put these illegals in luxury hotels, hand out debit cards for them to eat fansy meals, their free lastest model cellphone, education for all their kids with medical.....and YouTube would delete my comments and punish me for 24 hours just trying to ask anyone if they had that information.\nIt was like, no taxpayer was supposed to know that and i was causing trouble by asking!! \nRemember that YouTube??.\nUnreal.

seems like us Native Americans are always going to get the short end :( \n geez, all we ask is that people who come to the United States do their paperwork....all of us here in the U.S., we all have to do our paperwork, ie TAXES

Old stock Canadian here, the majority of us never asked for or voted for the taritors in our government that brought this mess to both our Countries! Those booing at the hockey games are not the majority of us! If any of our American brothers and sisters are unaware? They should look into how corrupt and treasonous our government actually is! The old stock here that did what they could to help those Americans during 9/11 still stand by our brothers, sisters, cousins south of our border! And we are disgusted by the trash that infested our country as much as we are by those entering yours! ????

First of all the amount of Fentanyl getting into the states from Canada is extremely minimal. In order to keep a good relationship with you Americans we did what was asked . So many lies. So much chaos..

What the Arab world has to do is to ask Americans and the Brits to leave their lands. None of their military should have any place in the Arab land. The Arab should unite and should collaborate to build their own military, army, navy and airforce.

American is 178th in the world for 'Infant Mortality'. Do you know this appalling fact? This tells me that Women can not access affordable Healthcare during pregnancy. And nothing has been done about it in decades. For a supposedly democratic society, not the political party, this is tantamount to genocide for the poorest American women and babies. And one in eight pregnancies have life threatening complications,. As Abortion has been banned in 38 States, with the fall of 'Wade and Roe' women are dieing, today in the States for a lack of proper healthcare. Trump has 'removing Birth Control' for all American women as the third item on Project 2025. This will build his Standing Army in 18 years, of unaffordable children, as indoctrinated disposable Soldiers or will make one of his Oligark Pals very wealthy, due to the lucrative Adoption business in America.. He is also, with his flurry of illegal Presidential Orders, skipping ratification by Congress, is bringing in a 'Family Vote' by the husband, for every woman who took her husband name at marriage,, 85% of women in America, will effectively be instantly disenfranchised. Keep the little woman home and pregnant, effectively unable to start businesses or get involved in politics. Now they want to 'check on' the Gold in Fort Knox. Can you imagine what will happen to that gold when the man with gold faucets in his home lays eyes on it? Just asking. Now that he has granted his wealthy friends $ 3.5 Trillion in tax breaks, in the first 3 weeks in office. Be aware of the goings on in the Oval Office. He has already stifled the Press. Hitler's methods of destroying a formerly democratic society. He is doing All these methods, and quickly. Look up 'Ask an AI how would you destroy America'... It is chilling.

I married an American Officer and lived in the states. I was abused by my husband and had to run for my life. I asked for help from American agencies. I got no help and had to run back to Canada for safety. Plus quality of life in America was less then Canada offers women. America is nice place to visit not a good place live.

tyler i don't think u realize how bad the usa education system really is. i'm canadian but have lost count of the number of usa teachers who have complained about how bad they are held back from teaching kids properly, how kids can't be failed or held back, how kids graduating gr 12 can't read or write past gr 6 level. in fact recently there was a statistic put out that something like 60% of ALL americans cant read or write past gr 6. considering all your universities that is terrifying. not to mention with gun violence, straight up violence among kids and at teachers, the disrespect and the severe lack of good parenting, kids are not being educated at all. u yourself have done videos on where someone interviews americans and asked them questions about canada and they haven't got a clue. not one clue. yet canadian kids are regularly taught all about their american neighbours. are kids know more about america then american kids do and thats shameful. u need to do some research on this because unless u live in a rich gated elite community and go to private school the public education system in the usa is very dismal and woefully inadequate. \nalso he's right about politics. here we can discuss it rationally and then move on to other topics. in the states ppl are shooting ppl over differences in politics. beating ppl up trashing their cars and property etc. and many police are definitely not presenting themselves with professionalism tons of racism going on. and so many police because everyone is armed. here in canada we are not allowed handguns and pretty much ppl only have hunting rifles. it takes a lot of work and clearance not to mention time and money to take the necessary classes and get the necessary permits to even own a hunting rifle. in the usa show a drivers license and wait 10 days u have a handgun no matter how mental u are. therefore u need way more police than here in canada. i think u have a well to do upbringing so u have not and do not see the true picture of the america u live in. \nalso i have talked to many american friends who had insurance and still cost them about $5000 per birth of a child. with good insurance and working full time. so thats about average. here in canada u pay nothing except maybe parking for hubby while he visits.

He’s deporting people who are here legally and awaiting processing. Immigration process is long and expensive. Unless you’re wealthy. So imagine doing it the right way and this happens. We tried to tell people but no one listened. I’m black and I already know they are gonna harass us and ask us for our papers. And racists whites don’t care. MAGA= racists. That is how we see you. They truly think that being a “true “ American is being white. My grandmother was black and Choctaw. They saw it and see it differently. Her grandmother was killed by the slave master because she refused to have anymore of his children. Many of us are descendants of rapists. Trumps people weren’t even in the country at that time and when they did come here grandpappy Trumf was running a bordello in Alaska.

When I was a kid, if you felt threatened on your land (in Texas) you’d get shot no questions asked. My whole life I knew in the south if you screw around you’re gonna find out. I still believe that to this very day, maybe that’s all they need. If someone’s discharged multiple rounds at you, it’s a sign that you should turn the heck back. With that being said, if you’re not here legally - get the heck out. We’re completely full and there’s good people waiting in line to go through the legal process and they have a right to be more upset than all of us normal Americans.

Anyone that breaks American laws IS a criminal. That’s the definition of criminal. Literally. They complain about the flight, I would’ve asked them to pay for the flight ticket. Why American people have to pay for them? Oh wait, maybe USAID paid for everything.

I have spent quite a bit of time in USA and I always find my experience split. For the most part the people and places are great. As a filmmaker I have shot in NYC, California, Mississippi to name a few. The people were always accommodating and friendly. One time a gentlemen and his wife that allowed us to film in his property would bring us hot chocolate at night, then offered to shoot anyone who got in our way. I was also filming in the desert in 2009 and I almost got shot in the face by a group of police officers that charged in guns out and tempers raging, before realizing that we had film permits and were scheduled to be on site. Only to have the crew say that if I was black they would have shot first and asked questions later. As tensions rise between Canada and USA with Trump's trade war and attempt to ANNEX Canada I think I will do my filming in other parts of the world, if not in Canada. I have plenty of American friends and know a lot of Canadians that live in the US. I just hope things settle between our two nations soon. Where do you live? Interested to see what part of the States you live in.

Lived in Arizona for 3 years and was ecstatic to move back to Vancouver BC Canada. WE ARE CANADIAN ?? and we are seriously pissed off at the arrogance of DJT suggesting we should be a state.The cultural diffrences are too extreme upon return friends asked how it was and I'd reply the problem with living in U.S. is that there are far too many Americans there.

I’m sorry, but if you can’t see how this is a problem for our country, then you need your head examined. Because what nobody tell you, American citizens were evicted from their homes, evicted, no warning, no severance package, nothing. Why. Because we have to house these people. Now you tell me. You go home and there is an eviction notice. Your dumbfounded as to why so you go ask. It’s so we can house illegal immigrants. Is that ok. You have no problem with them coming here, so I bet you have no problem with Americans being evicted so we can house these people, right?

Indian government could have handled this by offering plane by their own ??? At least government could ask the American government not to do like this ??? It would not cost much

My fellow American brothers and sisters one day you will learn Africa is the future. America is taking it,s last breath.Like when mose came down the mountain and ask the people to make a choice chose carefully .We are of african decent and are look at the same .

Wow the first Mexican/ American at that, says the first real thing. I mean Mexicans wave there flags & talk about there country so much yet you guys don’t want to be there. Yes yes yes I know the cartel, but like this women said it’s time to take your country back. Ask trump for help with taking back.

For the vast majority of Americans, including Trump who don't know this: \n- 90% of all aluminum used in the USA comes from Canada. \n- 80% of the potash used to grow food on US farms comes from Canada. \n- Steel is made in Canada. - Uranium is exported from Canada. \n- Minerals needed for electronics are exported from Canada. The only alternatives are China and Russia. \n- 60% of all imported oil in the US comes from Canada. \n- Electricity produced in Canada is delivered to the states of New York, Vermont, Maine and over 20 other US states. We’ll soon find out if convicted felon Trump and his supporters need Canada when that electricity gets turned off. If Trump can rip our mutually-negotiated agreements so can Canada. We did not ask for this economic war nor did we start it. Trump did. \n \nIt's also time to super-tax every pound of US coal being exported through Roberts Bank Super-port in Delta, British Columbia, Canada. The American coal exported through Roberts Bank does not even pay a provincial carbon tax like all BC residents pay. Canadians are about to show Trump what happens when you consistently lie and stab your best customer and neighbour in the back. We are not afraid of Trump. Canada is the second-largest country in the world by land area and we have the longest coastline in the world, with over 243,000 kilometers of shoreline. We will continue expanding our trade with Pacific Rim countries, Europe, Mexico and beyond. They all need and want our lumber, minerals, oil and gas, grass fed beef, and the dependable, respectful trading partner that we are.

Mr trump on his first day said that he is a peacemaker and want the world to stop the fight. He will stop russia ukraine war etc \n\nSo then he chose to put tariffs on canada and at the end who is going to get sufffer Americans what a joke of a person trump is then saying something and creating problem for own people.\nThe reasons that he is giving of putting tariffs has no relation to tariffs.\nIf he geniunely wants illegal immigrants n drugs to stop in US then rather working on border or asking canadins ministers to put xtra protection on borders \nHe choses tariffs\nTotally nonsense person

Anti-Trump is Pro-American. This corrupt president is against the people. Tariffs combined with his other tax cuts are a plot to shift more tax burden off his oligarch cronies and onto the poor and middle class despite the out-of-control wealth inequality destroying our democracy. Don't forget that he never closed tax loopholes (carried interest for example) exploited by the rich like he promised. He wants to distract while he robs and enslaves us. It is sad that it has come to this. I just ask the allies of the American people to please look for ways to specifically punish the oligarchs and politicians responsible rather than the many American people who are on your side.

American here, I hope this doesn't come to military conflict. Wait, does Canada have a military? Asking for someone who doesn't understand a free ride. Any temporary price increase will benefit the American worker in the long run. We can hold our breath under water longer than you can until you become reasonable.

BTW why they didn't ask about the ASIAN AMERICAN? That is the first start where the racism comes from.

This land will always be Mexican land ,yall white folks are the real illegals here . Ask the native Americans .if you white people don’t like it leave , there will always be brown skin on these lands .

so let's pose a question to all those who seem to just hate the LGBTQIA+ community for whatever their reasons are....if someone who happens to be transgender saves your life, saves the life of one of their team members or perhaps leads an OP to a successful outcome, would you say that they were unqualified after the fact ? would you say that now as the regulations are being changed that they were never qualified to have performed those duties in the past ?? I've said this before, when you're downrange you don't give a damn if someone has a taco or a hotdog in their lunchbox, all that matters is that they've got your six and are willing to complete the directive as ordered. Every single one of you haters needs to realize that so many LGBTQIA+ service members have dedicated their efforts to keeping your asses safe in this country since the inception of the uniformed services were established. Should they not have done so ? Why does who they love, have sex with or how they dress actually matter to you as long as you're still able to go out and feed your fat ass an all American Cheeseburger under the watchful eye of the American Flag ?! And at the end of the day, all they ask is to be able to serve their country with dignity. It's disgusting that so many of y'all simply hate other folks this way and try to diminish the service of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Ask AI ChatGPT what would happen if blacks stopped using social media and isolated themselves from white Americans

When it comes to United States, they can get away with a lot of stuff and some people come to United States illegally but do right and then some people come to United States and do to United States and event benefits that American people should have. This is sad to see everybody deserve a chance at life, but that’s their countryshould be doing better towards them. We are all human beings and deserve a chance at the decent and for Black people we went through torture, but we didn’t ask to come over here. They brought us.

I think Indian govt's stance is best in this case.\n'Give us a list of our people you want to deport, give us proofs why you think they are illegals, and we will arrange for the planes ourselves, no questions asked. You won't even have to bother about transporting them, just bring them to the air port, we will fly them back.'.\n\n\nAnyways Indian govt had been warning Canada about this migration for past 8 years. Literally imploring them to not take these guys in. They aren't running away from persecution, they are running away from prosecution. But sadly Canada became a safe haven for criminals in India to run and hide into. Now don't blame India or Indians for it. We warned you, we had a spat with you. You lectured us how free and democratic you are and how your doors are open to all. NOW SUFFER.\n\nFor the Americans.....i don't feel a thing. They are mostly racists bunch (liberals more than conservatives, but yeah 99 percent of them are pure vile racists). I enjoy watching their country undergoing a very slow implosion right Infront of our very eyes. Trump is a good and capable leader. But what can he really do? His main voter base (which actually did not matter in the elections, it was the minority votes which tilted the scales) is simply uneducated, uninformed, racists. I don't know if they are inherently racist or that racism is born out of ignorance to begin with. But it is what it is. And the othtrr side is loony. ?. You have hate filled racists on one side and crazies on another. That country is destined to be doomed. I hardly find any centrist sane individual who can actually get over the superficial racial or identity stuff and actually talk policies in depth. Both sides are like... For us or against us. What can Trump even do with such population base. They have to import people to keep their quality on top... Else they are done for within next 200 - 250 years.

This is why Trump won. These people are truly mental. Why doesn't CNN do an interview live with a group of actual boarder agents on the frontline to allow them to express what they see everyday oh and ask them how many times the Biden administration made them stand down as they watched thousands enter illegally. I want that interview! Oh not to mention a momth ago biden administration sold huge piles of steel for literally pennies before Trump. Democrats claim to work for us and if that's true why are they going against these policies and trying to fight everything. The Democrats only like you if you vote for them. The American people have spoken Democrats! Listen and do your job.

He’s not asking Columbia to take Americans but to take their own citizens back. We can get tropical fruit from FL, PR, HI and the USVI. We’re not playing with Columbia so they better stop playing with us.

A huge number of Americans support this illegal migration to the point of defending them from ICE while it is very hard to get a legal entry visa to the US if you're from the Philippines or any other country if you are asking for any visa be it tourist, student, working, and etc. Now that you have a no nonsense president, make hay while the sun shines because right now America is a mess because you elected, the past 4 years, a corrupt senile, incoherent president.

Go home and fix your own country instead of asking for American handouts.

Sad that their own President doesn't want to take care of their of their own citizens. Cause they don't want the responsibility to take care of them. Cause they have hatred towards their own citizens and this video shows how incredible incompetent their own President's are. Americans just can't support the world's population on our hard working tax dollars. This bullshit has got to stop and keep these illgel immagernts from crossing over our southern border. Fight your own problems with your own President's in your countries. We didn't ask you to invade into our country and getting a free ride off the hard working Americans tax dollars. Go back to your own countries and fight for what you want to happen over there. Or get rid of your President's and leaders that aren't doing their damn jobs.

Mexico and other Countries. Why does no one ask what they are doing for their citizens?\nThis is not an American problem
