? I don't like trump. but he is not playing.. Canada will be a 51 state. and it should of been a long time ago. And trump said he don't need there energy or cars and products. Canada is going down.?

I am happy that this will increase the costs on the american people. I hope all provinces remove all USA produced alcohol from their shelves. I hope we apply levies on all energy and mineral exports to the USA. This would include potash, oil, power, nickel, uranium, lumber, etc. I have no ill will to the american people, but your president (whether you elected him or not, he is YOUR president) has started this and you, the american people, are going to end up paying more for everything in the very near future. Your president has now started the FA, and the US public is about to FO. This is NOT hurt any of your billionaires or politicians that brought this upon you. You cannot be upset at anyone than your elected officials.

Export tax......on energy

The world’s second largest country has a housing and affordability crisis, let that sink in! It’s a giant spruce forest full of lakes, rivers, energy, minerals, three oceans, arable land, and, and a very low population density. Of and it’s also right next door to the world’s largest economy and market!

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.

That’s disgusting \nPut that energy and focus into fixing your own country \nSTAY OUT!!!

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

Baaaaugh ha ha,,, please get away from our countries, but if they get cold, frost bitten or freeze....hush, be quiet and know you deserve that because you should not be sneaking Into into anybodies country. Use the energy you used to come to America with your hands out for free stuff, that ended. Why? Use that same energy in your own country and quit being lazy and do all you can to make it a better & nicer place for you & your family. Talk to your own government, just like you come here to our government begging with no pride or dignity. Well go back to your own country and talk or make appointments to talk to your home country, ask them what they can do for you and your family but also ask, what YOU can do to even make your community's a better place? mow lawns, plant a lawn,paint or work on houses,, help turn in criminals, if your williing to Chancee freezing to death, to come to America, don't do that because we the taxpayers are stuck disposing of dead bodies, but then again it might be cheaper then you being here alive, both ways, your not wanted or respected dead or alive . Stay Away, go home and make changes.

They need this energy put into fixing Mexico. In the U.S. , people scream that Mexico is a better place than US. On the Mexican border, Mexicans are dying to come here? it doesn’t make sense

Put this freaking energy into fixing your own dang country. JHC

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.

Thank you, President Trump. Thank you for all that you do. I also love Elon Musk for donating all his time and energy to heal this country. Thank you, Elon.

I love your videos, thanks for having the energy to do the research and actually produce these.

LOL. average of 3.3 million migrants last year.... 500 000 were illegal. You are worried about 13000 from the Canadian border. DOnald did nothing but move his mouth and made noise. His threats mean nothing. We already had border security addressed. We already are doing what we were doing and Donald did.... nothing.... same as Mexico....DOnald demanded 10 000 guards on Mexican border.... so Mexico took away 10 000 from the 20 000 they had at the border. Your leader is an idiot and you are believing him? Americans think this is a win.... but you did nothing but end free trade. Now your allies trade for FREE with the world.... You get no minerals, no energy, no oil.... because your leader negotiated by bullying..... and you cannot bully a country unless you want to start a war. Your leader is a moron... do not drink the kool aid.... because when the immigrants are gone.... who is next to blame for crime and housing crisis?

Why do they think they have the right to break into another country. Use your energy to fix your own country.

Look at it like this, there are over 1.4 billion Indians in India and growing, the US has 330 million and need immigration because it’s shrinking, tomorrow 300 million Indians could move to America and still have over a billion people, and double the size of America, so that’s an issue for any country, India is perfectly capable of beating the US and China, tons of smart people there, just put all of the effort from telephone scam centers into curing cancer for medical tourism, that’s big money, or nuclear fusion, unlimited clean energy, that’s big would make India the worlds number one superpower, but the reality, Asia, African, and Latin America are going to take over the world

These comments are disgusting. I’m joining the navy to fight for HUMANITARIAN RIGHTS, period. All people. I don’t care what someone calls themselves, why put energy into displacing human beings?! As a black woman, I’ve never felt threatened by human beings discovering their individualized truth. It does not put me in danger. What puts me in danger is the fact that human beings body parts become political. It’s disgusting to think that someone’s sex organs is a topic on CNN in 2025?

And this is why those buses and planes are constantly moving freebooters out of the country. Go use this same energy to make your countries of origin, great again.

unalive ignorant illegal migrants problem solved they need to put all their energies into fixing their country not running from the problem they have failed themselves majority are losers by proxy the so called \n government is compromised they don't even have A country so called leadership doesn't want them or cartels in mexico or not

IF THESE CRIMINALS PUT THAT KIND OF ENERGY INTO THEIR OWN COUNTRY - THEY WOULD NOT NEED TO INVADE OURS - AND STEAL THE BENIFITS WE PAY TAXES FOR !!! —— \n\nNO OTHER COUNTRY WOULD PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT

Yeah no.. they aren’t violent! These look like truly responsible upstanding citizens ? Only pieces of ? pull stunts like this. The entitlement to think you have a right to break into another country.. So what’s next if they make it over? Breaking into tax payers homes and taking their shit? But nooo, let’s not go take that energy and place it where it belongs.. The government officials that run their jacked up countries right? Yep, makes perfect sense ??‍♀️

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

Stay in your own country. Use this energy to better your country. \nBiden and Harris are GONE. You will NO LONGER BE PERMITTED TO INVADE OUR COUNTRY any more. Stay the f*c* out of OUR COUNTRY.

If these illegals feel like their first amendment rights are violated. They should be running home. Deport these people. I am sick of their violent. Why can’t they fight for their country? They are not carrying America ??. Flags . They are burning them. They are too violent. Deport these losers. Just like they are fighting and tearing up the American Country. Why can’t they spend that energy fighting for their own Country. They have somewhere to go. The American people have no where to go to get away from these vicious criminals.

Who gives ? \nGet em out \n\nI'm noticing that there are some folks doing some serious whining about the Trump administration. So I thought I'd post some thoughts. \n\n1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we (the majority of) working, middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute.\n\n2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do. And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance, and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept.\n\n3. Understand that if you are a U.S. Citizen, or have already started the legal process to become a U.S. Citizen that you are not going to get deported! I don't care what your favorite liberal media channel says.\n\n4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That's how you get the deals you desire.\n\n5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race, etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality of life.\n\n6. It's not the government's money, it's your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent.\n\n7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China.\n\n8. Drill baby, drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is? China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts and liberal tears won't power your car!\n\n9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it.\n\n10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that.\n\n11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working world. Anything else is wrong.\n\n12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won by a landslide — both the popular vote and the electorial vote. Get over it.

“I’m just doing my job” ass energy from these modern Nazi officers

we want the freebies from kumalot, instead these people should spend their energy to fix their own country if they dont like it!

THIS ENERGY could be used for GOOD in their countries.... Can't DO THAT....... THANX JOE BIDEN & Ms. Harris.........Barrack.....DEMS....

They are rushing because they have no respect for our laws and our way of life.. If things are so bad where they are from, they need to get control of their own countries with the same amount of energy they are using on our border..

If they used half that energy and will power, they had to make that walk from South America to America’s borders to fix their own countries they probably be more advanced than us

Please bring the desperate level of energy to our country, where ypu settle and help us actually fix it. Or the problems will only get worse for all of us

People think it's money that makes you rich. That's today's stupidity. The real riches are what you're able to provide such as unlimited resources and minerals energy, power, oil and gas. When you have an unlimited supply of these riches with only 40 million people in your country. ??? I would consider that as being the richest country in the world

Less energy is required to fix their country.

All that energy and enthusiasm should r directed at their own government not ours

Unbelievable, if they took this same energy and fixed their own countries, we wouldn't have this problem. What a nightmare if they made it in.

I see a lot of energy being burnt, as in calories.\nSo, where do all these people eventually going require food, and, hygiene, \nEtc. \nhas Maccas just\nInstalled a “PortaMac” ?

This has nothing to do with the border….he’s grabbing money. While hurting the US people, he is ruining the US reputation. Get ready for your auto industry to shut down, no more energy or our critical minerals you need for your all important military! Get it??

Trump says EU tariffs will ‘definitely happen’ as Mexico, Canada and China retaliate \nTrump takes softer line on UK, saying ‘I think that one can be worked out’, while Mexico and Canada vow levies and to strengthen ties with each other \n \nPhilip Wen, Léonie Chao-Fong and agencies \nMon 3 Feb 2025 03.57 GMT \nShare \nDonald Trump has threatened to widen the scope of his trade tariffs, repeating his warning that the European Union – and potentially the UK – will face levies, even as he conceded that Americans could bear some of the economic brunt of a nascent global trade war. \n \nIt comes as Trump’s tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China, announced on Saturday, sparked retaliation from all three countries. Mexico and Canada have vowed levies of their own while China and Canada are seeking legal challenges. \n \nTrump said on Sunday night that new tariffs on the EU will “definitely happen”, repeating previous complaints about the large US trade deficit with the bloc and his desire for Europe to import more American cars and agricultural products. \n \nEmpty shelves remain with signs ''Buy Canadian Instead'' after the top five US liquor brands were removed from sale at a British Columbia liquor store in Vancouver. \nAsian sharemarkets tumble in response to Trump tariffs \nRead more \n“It will definitely happen with the European Union, I can tell you that,” he told reporters. “I wouldn’t say there’s a timeline but it’s going to be pretty soon.” \n \nTrump appeared to take a softer line on the UK, citing a good relationship with prime minister Keir Starmer while saying tariffs still “might happen”. “The UK is out of line but I’m sure that one, I think that one can be worked out,” he said. \n \n“Well Prime Minister Starmer’s been very nice, we’ve had a couple of meetings, we’ve had numerous phone calls, we’re getting along very well, we’ll see whether or not we can balance out our budget.” \n \nIn Canada, the department of finance published a list of US products imported into Canada that it will target with a 25% retaliatory tariff starting on Tuesday. \n \nThe list shows products that will be hit in the first round of retaliatory tariffs by Canada starting on Tuesday, and mounts to $30bn Canadian dollars’ worth of goods (about US$20bn). The impacted products include tobacco, produce, household appliances, firearms and military gear. \n \nCanada is also preparing for a second, broader round of retaliatory tariffs in 21 days that will target an additional C$125bn (US$86bn) worth of US imports. The second list would include passenger vehicles, trucks, steel and aluminum products, certain fruits and vegetables, beef, pork, dairy products and more. \n \nFILES-US-CANADA-MEXICO-CHINA-TRADE-TARIFFS<br>(FILES) US President Donald Trump speaks to the press after signing an executive order in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC on January 31, 2025. Trump is imposing steep tariffs on major US trading partners Canada, Mexico and China, with a lower rate on Canadian energy imports, said the White House on February 1, 2025. Washington will impose a 25 percent levy on imports from Canada and Mexico, with a 10 percent rate on Canadian energy resources, until both work with the United States on drug trafficking and immigration. Goods from China, said the White House, would face 10 percent tariffs.

Sheinbaum, in a statement on Sunday, said she will announce details on her government’s “plan B” as she insisted that Mexico “doesn’t want confrontation”. \n \n“Problems are not addressed by imposing tariffs, but with talks and dialogue,” she said. “Sovereignty is not negotiable: coordination yes, subordination no.” \n \n'Coordination yes, subordination no': Mexican president responds to Trump's tariffs – video \nSheinbaum and Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau spoke by phone on Saturday after Trump’s administration imposed the new tariffs – 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, with a lower rate of 10% for Canadian oil, and 10% on imports from China. \n \nTrudeau’s office said in a statement that Canada and Mexico agreed “to enhance the strong bilateral relations” between their countries. Canadian officials have had extensive dialogue with their Mexican counterparts, but a senior Canadian official said he would not go as far as to say the tariff responses were coordinated. \n \n“Now is the time to choose products made right here in Canada,” Trudeau posted Sunday on X. “Check the labels. Let’s do our part. Wherever we can, choose Canada.” \n \nTrump acknowledged the sweeping tariffs he has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China may cause “short term” pain for Americans as global markets reflected concerns the levies could undermine growth and reignite inflation. Asian markets, cryptocurrencies and US and European stock futures slumped in early Asian trading on Monday. \n \n“We may have short term some little pain, and people understand that. But long term, the United States has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world,” he said. day, Trudeau said: “We’re certainly not looking to escalate, but we will stand up for Canada.” However on Sunday evening, a senior government official from Canada briefing reporters in Ottowa on condition of anonymity said: “We will obviously pursue the legal recourse that we believe we have through the agreements that we share with the United States.” \n \nThe official said the Canadian government considered the move by Trump illegal and said it violates the trade commitments between the two countries under their free trade agreement and under the World Trade Organization. \n \n“If other legal avenues are available to us, they will be considered as well,” the official said. \n \nCanada is the largest export market for 36 states, and Mexico is the largest trading partner of the US. \n \nCanada and Mexico ordered the tariffs despite Trump’s further threat to increase the duties charged if retaliatory levies are placed on US goods. \n \nChina also said it would file a lawsuit against the tariffs. The imposition of tariffs by the US “seriously violates” World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, China’s commerce ministry said in a statement, urging the US to “engage in frank dialogue and strengthen cooperation”. \n \nFiling a lawsuit with the WTO would be a largely symbolic move that Beijing has also taken against tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles by the EU. \n \nThe commerce ministry also said the tariffs were “not only unhelpful in solving the US’s own problems, but also undermine normal economic and trade cooperation”. China has said it would take countermeasures to “safeguard its own rights and interests”. It is not clear exactly what form these will take yet. But for weeks Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning has said Beijing believes there is no winner in a trade war. \n \nLate Sunday night, Trump said he would speak with Trudeau on Monday morning and shortly after said he would speak with Mexico as well, although he did not specify that he would speak with Sheinbaum. \n \nBeyond the official response, people were already thinking of ways to cope with Trump’s decision, including by sharing suggestions on social media for alternatives to US products. \n \nCanadian hockey fans booed the US national anthem on Saturday night at two National Hockey League games.

(Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP) \nToronto Raptors fans boo US national anthem after Donald Trump tariffs \nRead more \nOne fan at the Raptors game chose to sit during the anthem while wearing a Canada hat. Joseph Chua, who works as an importer, said he expects to feel the tariffs “pretty directly”. “I’ve always stood during both anthems. I’ve taken my hat off to show respect to the American national anthem, but today we’re feeling a little bitter about things,” he said, adding that he will start to avoid buying US products. \n \nIn the streets, people in Mexico were trying to absorb the announcement on Sunday, although some in the capital acknowledged that they were unaware of the measures. \n \nIn the border city of Mexicali, across from Calexico, California, some people were concerned about the wider implications of a trade war. \n \nDriver Alejandro Acosta says that he crosses the border weekly in his truck to deliver vegetables to US companies. He said he fears US businesses in the Mexicali Valley will no longer want to operate in Mexico and they will move to the US. \n \n“If they raise taxes on the factories here, jobs may also decrease,” he said.

The only thing that will get Trump to pull in his horns is for countries to respond with counter-tariffs that will HURT Americans big time. Trump said they don't need our energy. Let's shut down hydro electricity sales to the US and allow millions of residences and industry go dark in winter and wait for Trumps call to negotiate. The US NEEDS Canadian resources and we should use that to our advantage.

THAT IS AN INVASION. COME ON LIBTARDS. WAKE UP. WAKE UP. WAKE UP ???. These people should use THAT SAME ENERGY TO FIX THEIR OWN COUNTRY

I am an Indian in America and Indians need to develop India ??, 1) Ending the Caste System 2) Industrializing the country such as Manufacturing, Logistics and energy India has a lot of Natural Resources such as coal and Iron 3)Establish trading Partners with US, Germany and UK, Brazil. They are very strong and smart countries with a lot of great companies that could be advantageous. 4) India needs to be more capitalistic to avoid a brain drain. 5) Indians need to eat more meat and work out more, you look at the Brazilians and Nigerians they are great MMA fighters. The Andrew Tate model is important.

Canada needs to get all new trading partners, they need to look to Europe, Asia, and other countries. There are other markets out there, especially in the EU, where they are no longer getting energy from Russia. If Canada shows any weakness Trump will hit Canada even harder, the only why Canada stays strong and comes out ahead, is to be strong. Canada will suffer for a while, but with new trade partners, Canada will be much better off.

Time for Canada to diversify its exports away from the USA. There is urgency for Canada to declare a national economic urgency and build pipelines from coast to coast to bring its energy to Asian and European markets. It is late but nerver not too late to get free from its bully neighbour

insted of counter tariffs just up the price on anything usa puts a tariff on,.,.usa puts 25% on energy inported then up the price by 25% more ? Let usa pay the bill 50% extra.,.,. i mean if they can bump the cost on what Trump feels the normal american can aford THEN BUMP IT UP.

Indian market is open for canadian energy ?????

Canada, remove the discount (add a premium) on US oil and energy sales.

Export tax on Canadian oil and gas to the US. We can develop new markets for these products Europe and Asia need reliable energy supply

Thank you Canada ?? unfortunately this administration only understands 1 language if DT continues Canada should cut off electricity&energy supply

The US has been running a trade deficit with Mexico, China, and Canada for almost two decades now—Canada only makes up 6% of all US imports while the US makes up 63% of all Canadian imports.\n\nCanada will have to find more trade partners besides the US if it doesn't want its consumers paying 25% more for US goods, most of which are mechanical machinery, automotive parts and vehicles, minerals, medical equipment, energy products, and consumer goods.

First of all, Trudeau is not a man of the situation. He will be kicked out in weeks. Canada has plenty of natural resources, minerals and energy. We Canadians will survive.
