Dear Justin Trudeau, STFU already. We don't need you making things worse.\n\nOh, and a great many of us still want you to serve time in prison. I hope that our law enforcement and justice system won't disappoint us. Sadly, faith in these entities has been obliterated, and a great deal of that is your fault. Stop talking, you have no mandate from the vast majority of Canadians. Send us to the polls, let us chose our future for ourselves.

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

It's time for us Canadians to stop calling the US an ally. They aren't allies to anyone but the Axis. The US is the bad guy.

●Canada less than 1% fentanyl comes thru Canadian border. Canada doesn’t make any precursor drugs for fentanyl. Tariff 25%?\n\n●China -99.5% of precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl come from china. No regulations. Tariffs 10%??\n\nMost should know that the fentanyl coming thru Canada is less than 1% If your wondering where the other 99% is coming from,know this- china allows the sale of the precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl, and it's unregulated. They suppy the mexican cartels these drugs to make and sell which comes across Mexican borders into the US. If china regulated the precursor drugs it could stop fentanyl manufacturing in its tracks. Again 10% tariffs vs 25% tariff. There was a time that china cooperated & worked with the US on this but have since stopped.\nSo whatever is going on with the trump administration, it's clear by the numbers this isn't about fentanyl with Canada. Especially since he didn't extend the same tariffs to the country that could actually stop the making of this horrible drug.

As I have said many times, Trump has opened a big ass can of of worms, you wont stop Armorican drug addicts, there's legal drug labs in the U.S. and the U.S. make fentanyl in the U.S., his on a economic suicide missions, sense his first rodeo, most drugs dont go over a fence, most drugs caught, go through the Legal Ports of entry and most smuggler cought at the legal port of entry are Americans and people who can cross the border legally, not illegally, not illegal aliens nor asylum

NO PAIN, NO GAIN, BABY. WE CAN MAKE OUR PRODUCTS, Thank you. Time for other countries to stop taking advantage of us. ??

This is the same guy that closed peoples bank accounts during covid starving families where truck drivers and farmers couldn't make a living a dictator driven by self power and here we have u.s citizens saying they agree with him and his sugar coating if that's the case move to Canada we have become to dependent on other countries supplying us with what we can produce ourself its time to get back to work made in America for Americans there is nothing we can't do if we come together and stop believing the hype that we need other countries

Twice in a week Trump is humiliated by a world leader, Trump thinking he can be a president of a country like the ceo of a corporation. He blackmails people offering them scraps from the table of his last meal as if they should be thankful. How on gods earth did America vote this clown as it's leader. Putin has spent 3 years trying to get into Kiev and in a few weeks has managed to get into the Oval office of the Whitehouse. I sit here in the UK watching what is going on in America like many around the world cringing and at the same time laughing at how such a scumbag could achieve what he has done. Trump and his arse licking lapdog are making a laughing stock of the US and you seem helpless to stop the shitshow that is coming your way. I feel for you and hope his stupidity will lead to a very quick exit for the now most famous clown in the world.

Time to shut off the electricity and stop selling them oil

This crazy trump shit just needs to stop. All of it. It's not even been 6 weeks and my kids can't even make this much mess in that time

Trump needs to be stopped for ruining our country and putting us all in jeopardy. What happened to checks & balances? Why does he get away with all his evil doings? Time for all legislators to step up and do what they can for immediate impeachment. He is not fit to speak for us !!!

Again get the world out of this nightmare and Arrest these 3 Idiots in the white house! Trump Vance and Musk... you have no much time left before things are going really bad!! stop them take the power away! or you will witness the end of USA and rise of chaos and terror! Trump and his gang are a cancer for democracy! stop them before they destroy you! or is it too late already?

Its time we send ALL Canadians attending United States universities - home. They are taking the place of Americans and have no business being here. Let Canadians develop Canadians and Americans Americans. This is especially prevalent with Canadians playing hockey at American universities. This needs to stop now.

As a Canadian my personal politics may not always be in line with other citizens of the world, however I can respectfully agree to disagree, allowing more dialogue and discussion to continue in order to reach an agreeable compromise to find the best winning formula for all concerned. \nI have watched and listened to many American politicians from John F Kennedy to Joe Bidden, to leaders like Marin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bernie Saunders, all have something in common, respect, decorum, world knowledge, integrity, truth, honesty, honour, and heart. \nStrength is when you are able to reach out to lift someone up not to knock them down. Even the greatest professional boxers know the difference of being humble and kind when there advisory is in trouble. \nFor the first time in the history of your country you have a bully, narcissist and pathological liar, who is vulgar and unpolished as a man, father and as the President of your nation.\nI have seen our own Canadian leaders, make mistakes, stumble and fail, however they displayed grace and admitted to their shortcomings.\nI have never seen a world leader be obsessed with things such as plastic straws, pennies, flushing toilets, Hannibal Lecter, Arnold Palmer's manhood, a leader who's completely obsessed with selling souvenir and bubbles while his citizens are homeless, hungry, jobless, with runaway inflation so that something as simple as a dozen eggs are now a luxury item. \n\nYou have a president who spends millions of dollars so that he can play golf at one of his own properties, meanwhile his country is neglected. \nA brief look at his past record the pandemic under his watchful eye would have you drink bleach as a cure as many died and billionaires increased their combined wealth by trillions of dollars while the middle class and poor suffered. \nThe opioid crisis was settled under his watch which let Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family avoid jail time for committing the death and destruction of millions of lives in America. Yet Donald Trump is obsessed with the drug cartels in other countries yet he overlooks those terrorist in his own country. Is it because they are billionaires and potential cronies of his?\nRather than be completely obsessed with tariffs and creating the next disaster with his Trump Gaza Holocaust Resort, Your leader could be looking at fixing the country's infrastructure of roads, brides, tunnels, ensuring a healthy supply of drinking water, rail, housing for the homeless, affordable health care, affordable education, etc.\n\nDonald Trump is surrounded by his clowns is not just making a mockery of your country but is leading you into a very dark hole. \nThe shame and humiliation that Donald Trump has brought to your country since his inauguration will take years to correct if he is stopped now. If you the American people wait four years, WW Three will be here and it will take centuries to recover. \nTHE FUTURE IS NOW, NOT IN FOUR YEARS. AS AMERICANS YOU MUST BE WILLING TO ENSURE A TOMORROW FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.... UNDER THE CURRENT REGIME YOU ARE HEADED TO A DEAD END.

hit you in the wallet didnt it, time to stop taking advantage of your friendly neighbor, but it will hurt you more

It’s Mr. President Donald Trump sir, and next time don’t wait so long to help stop the flow of illegal immigration and fentanyl coming into our country. I hope you enjoyed all the money you were getting unfairly.

Krasnov has a mission, and he’s on it. Time to stop the spy.

We’ll buy our own. Stop threatening. And your country will suffer also. Canada citizens. All these countries have been living off of the United States. Time to get off the tit.

As a German and a European i think the best bet of the free democratic Nations of the world is to ally against this. New Conferderations must be formed or old ones must be refomed. but clear as day is that, only together we can stop the immenent redrawing of the borders accruing worldwide as the Russian aggression and the allingment of the USA government with them, is proof to all Autocrats that now is the right time to Tackle such Ambitions. Im verry frightened about the future.

To the Americans who are outraged by Trump, you need to stand up and truly fight like the MAGAts did when they stormed the capital on Jan 6th. If you really have a problem with whats going on you need to take a stand and make a difference. If you just sit back then you are allowing it to go on. Sorry if thats unfair to say but we're living in a time where your Leader is going to only get worse and worse and start a World War if he isnt stopped and held accountable. This level of Terrorism against Canada, Greenland, Palestine, Ukraine, Mexico, Japan and China CANNOT go unpunished. Throughout history if this happened 20+ years ago this would have NEVER happened because people would stand up against oppressors and dictators. Its time to do just that.

For all of you GO Canada people. The majority of Canadians oppose what our government is doing. This man has destroyed our economy and done everything he could to stop international trade of LNG and oil by shutting down all pipeline and LNG PROJECTS WE HATE THIS MAN. It is not Trump BAD it is everything Trudeau did above and more that killed us. these Tariffs would mean nothing to us if he hadn’t fiscally destroyed us. We are getting what we deserve. Unfortunately it will lead to destitution of many people. I can’t wait to see his party gone. We are running out of time.

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

Canada's mistake was listening to the US the first time. The US doesnt do enough to protect its people from drugs smuggled north and yet it blames its neighbors non-stop.

It time to stop holding hands and start forming one☝️circle ⭕️ Putin happens to be the monkey in the middle ?

Trudeau you set us up to get crush at this point in time. And another increase in the carbon tax in a month. I don't care what you have to say ever! Just stop pretending you care about Canadians

To all Canadians this guy just dragged all of you into World War III President Trump tried to stop the war, but Zelinski Trudeau are Democrats and the European leaders. Want to continue the war. Also, does anything grow in the winter time up there in Canada? How are you gonna eat if you boycott the United States

It’s business. Stop crying and get used to it. It’s time the US put up with short term pain for long term gain. VAT is in effect the same as a Tariff.

Thank you Justin. It’s beyond time these things were said. Americans need to stop their sleepwalking

Trump is also attaching his own country with economic warfare. Stopping funding to important programs. Penalizing freedom speech by taking away funding to quiet students. Very scary times.

The only thing that makes sense is that President Trump has been compromised. We need to stop for a moment, ignore the chaos and demand an investigation into the President Trump. Too much of his corruption has been aggressively swept under the rug. Agencies that have investigated him have been targeted.\n\nWe know that he is an ego maniac. Why would he do these things that would make people on both sides of the aisle hate him? Why would he publicly align himself with dictators and known enemies of the U.S. and then destroy relationships with our allies in just over a month in office?\n\nSomething isn't right. We need to demand a deep dive into the President and VP JD Vance. We need to do this before they plung us into civil war.\n\nWhen we are poor and struggling, we tend to voice our frustrations within our communities and turn on one another. This isn't the time for that! No matter how you voted. No one voted for this! Put your differences to the side. Price hikes, unemployment and being cut off from resources will not discriminated based on your race, religion, economic status or citizenship.

Time to stop pussy footing around and ban all oil exports to the USA. Let’s see how the USA likes record high gas prices

It’s time the world leaders stop that idiot in the White House!!

It's time for Canada to step up and take the place they are capable of, lead the way in the Americas along side Mexico and stop living in the shadows of the USA.

How can the msm and their guests say they don't understand why he's doing this? If you look at every thing Trump does thru the lense of pleasing Putin and putting Rudssia and China's agenda first, it all makes sense. It's time to start calling this what it is. A traitorous president is selling out his own country and countrymen. He needs to he stopped bamn before its too late. This is not Amerixa first, it's America last.

Fuck that prime minister. Don't you think it's about time. He stops trying to act like he's a good leader he already resigned for a reason.

As an American I stand Behind Donald Trump 100% it is time we build our economy and stop letting other countries get rich off of the United States. Its time for Canada and other countries to pay up.\nDonald Trump handed Zelensky just how he should have. I back Donald Trump 100%\nCanada needs America we don’t need Canada. \nA Large percent of Canada population live on the border of the United States that should say a lot. \nCanada y’all stay in your country and we will stay in ours easy as that

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

Canada and us Democrats, it's time to stop being so polite!

I don't know about you you but the $66.5B we've given to Ukraine could've been used here to give to our veterans. It's time we stopped getting screwed and put our nation and our people first. Zelensky is an ungrateful petulant boy. They can fight their own battle. We have enough problems at home to deal with. It's time someone with balls stepped up. Good job Trump let's make us great.

C’mon America it’s time to do what you known for!!!!\nCanada ?? is with you stop this nonsense and madness ✌️

C’mon America it’s time to do what you known for!!!!\nCanada ?? is with you stop this nonsense and madness ✌️

Why are you not talking about the credible possibility that Trump is a Russian asset? Everything he is doing makes complete sense if this is true. CNN, you and and your journalists need to grow a spine and start leaning into this possibility and stop talking around it. Come on. We don't have time for this pussy footing around.

Fidel Castro son needs to understand that it’s time to pay the piper?? America’s getting taken advantage of. It’s a new era in America’s going to be on top bigger than ever. So pay kid and stop crying about it.

Hopefully this is a big wake-up call to Canada that it’s time to stop relying so much on America for trade and start making deals with other countries.

trump is a convicted rapist, felon, tax cheat and TRAITOR! he's committed espionage with putin NON-STOP for over 9 years. HE ISN'T PRESIDENT! he MUST be removed ASAP or we'll be in a civil war by SUMMER! A SHOOTING WAR! this is what trump's criminality and treason has done to OUR COUNTRY! he must be arrested - held wothout bond - AND CONVICTED as the domestic terrorist and traitor and international threat THAT HE IS! its GODDAMNED time u. s. law be enforced! STOP allowing that fascist run roughshod over EVERY federal law imaginable!

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

???? idiot Zelenskyy is a dictator for stopping the president vote he’s not even president he’s time has expired, also trudoly your an idiot to, open your eyes people

It's time we as Americans. Stand up and fight. The status quo is no longer. Why didn't Canada or Mexico do this, before the problem? Because you didn't have to. Now you have to. As America we need to bring our country back. Stronger and better. And stop relying on foreign goods. You trudo need to correct your handling of your own fellow Canadians.

This is how a leader should speak. He speaks with sincerity and with clarity. He doesnt speak broadly just to an entire audience. He speaks to each group of people that this is concerning to, and making sure we understand the magnitude of this situation. He adjusts how he speak to each group, and also to our sad president. Thats the vibe of the message he was giving me. Many different types of languages and emotions are spoken at the same time.\n\nI love our country, but I do not agree with how our currents presidents policies, changes, and tear down of our government/agencies in just 2 months. I cant imagine the months to come. People are already struggling, and are divided so much more that Americans are not siding with each other, but siding with Canada and Mexico who have been so patient and understanding with us. We need to stand up against our president to stop this isolation and division. We are already divided in our country. I can't stand to see we are starting to be divided globally. This will litterally shrink our economy and our opportunities. Not only that, it puts our national security in peril. We need to do better to work together in harmony.
