Cartel are run by military

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

So people expected the U.S. to just had over military aid to Ukraine at the Oval Office without any peace negotiations?? ? Trump is the bad guy and Zelensky the corrupt brat is a hero? But guess what, all roads lead back to Trump. Zelensky is now amenable to the minerals deal and Europe still wants the U.S. approval of the peace plan. It's like the entire world doesn't know history and how diplomacy works at turbulent times like this.

Please, here are just some historic tariffs Canada hits America with. \n\nMilk: 270%\nCheese: 245%\nButter: 298%\nChicken: 238%\nSausages: 69.9%\nBarley seed: 57.8%\nBovine/meat: 26.5%\nCars: 25%\nHVAC: 45%\nVacuums: 35%\nCable boxes: 35%\nTVs: 45%\nSteel: 25%\nAluminum: 45%\nCopper: 48%\n\nTake a guess how much financial aide the U.S. sends Canada EVERY YEAR and how much military defense $$$$ we provide?

Mr. Prime Minister I’m a proud Canadian. I know that we are ethical and we have integrity. We complied with the fentanyl issue, but this is not about fentanyl, it’s about something more. Perhaps he wants to do to Canada what Putin did to Ukraine, without the military force, but with the monetary force.

Up to now, I strongly despised Trudeau. He was weak, dumb, inconsistent, insignificant. \nNow, my opinion has changed. \nWhat he says is far from crap. \nT is a criminal, at the service of China, Russia to disrupt the North American economy every which way he can, whilst hiding in the shadow of a sheer head on military conflict that would leave both sides in the midst of nuclear fallout for centuries. \nThe enemy within. \nThe scour of unabashed destruction. \nThe new age of mind slavery in a T.

if any other country did what US did, they would get sanctions from US and every ally of US, CIA would try to overthrow their government and US would openly fund radical revolutionists inside that country. And of course if that doesnt succeed, there is always invasion and military genocide by uncle Sam

Canada should nationalise all American assets in Canada,Ford ,Gm ,Walmart,Amazon ,Costco,McDonald's.,any oil companies in the oilsands.all of it.While we are at it invite China to build a few military bases along the border and let the USA go fu@ k themselves.

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

?? The Drop at the Boarder is Due to Military and Tariffs-> Why did Canada wait for Trump? Why wasn't this Done over the Past 4 Years while Drugs and Illegals were Pouring In???

I am ?? \nYes the tariffs are bad. But everyone forgets how much money we spend defending them and the subsidies we give every fiscal year. I understand that the market will suffer. I just don’t understand how people think it’s ok for ?? to provide military protection to other countries with the ?? taxpayer money. ?

Hopefully somebody in the American Military or the CIA will take this Donald Trump out before he does any more damage to his allies in NATO

The tariff is because they would not increase their military spending with nato

One malicious Superpower in Eastern Europe brutally invaded it's neighbor \nand has led to a bloody war in the Ukraine. .\nOne 'friendly' Western Superpower launches a catastrophic economic war \non its neighbors, threatening to put their economies in a stranglehold using \ndevastating tariffs. \n\nPutin brakes the agreements he signed during the Minsk treaties in 2014-15. \nTrump breaks the USMCA agreements (formerly NAFTA) he signed in 2020. \nBoth Superpowers leverage their economic and military power to demand \nsubmission in order to extort concessions, and possibly more territory.\nJust how much difference is there,, really?

We don’t need your energy. We have oil. Copper, timber, farmland. And the strongest military! Americans are resilient

Trump is aware but he doesn't care. It was NEVER about drugs at the boarder. It was trump being used willingly as a puppet by Putin to take the U.S. out which could never happen unless we are no longer a part of NATO & have no allies. The next step will come in 3 years when he uses those he's put in place in the military to stay in office FOREVER! I'm sorry to say this but we've given away America. It will never recover.

We don’t need your energy. We have oil. Copper, timber, farmland. And the strongest military! Americans are resilient

US is a traitor country! Canada should do business with Europe to strengthen our economy and military before US starts to try destabilizing Canada and Europe! US is our new common enemy unfortunately!

America is the bad guys evil leader and evil military yes men to weak to have an opinion woke fairy soldiers .

As a Canadian, I am not giving this man a pass. Canada is destroyed, thanks in a large part to his leadership! The middle class cannot afford basic living, our medical system is destroyed, and we literally have no military. He is a good speaker; unfortunately that is the extent of his abilities

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

Melanie Joly is dressed in full military uniform as if ready for a real war!

Many people do not understand how tariffs impact the importation of goods and services. Canada lacks the infrastructure to produce the minerals required for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing. Additionally, Canada does not possess the same international influence as the United States, particularly in military matters. As a result, Canadians may face more significant challenges, as their economy relies more on U.S. trade than the United States' reliance on Canada. Overall, Canada has a less developed economy and limited global influence.

Is that why yourrrrrrrr people come down to Washington state for medical treatment and milk and eggs and fuel. And Trudeau worked with Chinese military In drills whilst in Canada.

Russia has a military that demands some level of respect even though they are communist turds. Canada needs to build their military to the point where they demand the same respect or even greater because they arent communist turds.

Trump wants to be one of the handful of large, powerful autocracies in the world, he will continue provoking democratic allies to create strawman excuses to engage in conflict with and cede from them and look for any excuses to invade/annex, and in the end he most likely believes he has the power to compete with and overpower other autocracies. In the end, he sees them as the winners in the race of countries and he wants to be top dog over them, too. By consolidating wealth, industry/resources, control of information and technology - with his past attacks against the military - will it be any surprise if plans come to light of intentions to build a private army?

1% of fentanyl come in from canada for the same reason less than 1% of tacos come from canada. the United States military is your border so chill tf out

The ChiComs, working with their Liberal minions, have made sure that any election will be rigged. Trump is trying to save Canada because he will send Troops into Canada to eject the Chinese military. He wants to do it with laws by getting Canada to join the USA. If that does not happen, he will use the military to do it, and Canada will be seen as the enemy of the USA allied with China. Trudeau admitted that without the welfare the USA has been providing to Canada, your economy will collapse. The Bank of Canada is bankrupt. The Canadian dollar is about to collapse. How will you feel next year when you need two dollars to buy what one dollar buys now? And plan on having fewer dollars to start with because your carbon tax, your sales tax, your income tax are all going up. WAY up. This is what happens when you decide to compete with a USA that is unshackled. The USA can produce more of our own oil than we can use, and we will sell the extra to YOUR foreign customers cheaper than you can produce it. Then you will be BEGGING for a pipeline. So Trump invited Canada to become a member of the most successful and powerful union of sovereign states in history, something that even our own territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and all the others do not have. An invitation to be a bona fide member. Why do you think that is? Minerals? The USA has all the minerals we need. We have more oil, coal, and natural gas than any nation also, and we can produce and refine it cheaper than any country can. So Canada was invited to become a state so Trump could peacefully eject the ChiComs from North America. And did you accept? No. Did you say no thank you? No. You gave us the finger and said f&$k you to Trump. We hear you Canada. But now is not the time for pain, that comes later.

Ukraine has neo Nazi military called “Azov” do your research before blame Putin for starting a war, Ukrainian nationalists attacked east of Ukraine after east wanted to join Russia after Ukrainian revolution in 2014 where legitimate president was removed by force against the law.

MR. TRUDEAU, QST, THIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT! AMERICA'S! IT'S TRUMP'S, VANCE'S & MUSK 'S! & 2ND, THAT PUTIN SCUM SUCKING BASTARD IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS NOT! AMERICAN!! HE'S A SCUM SUCKING TREASONOUS TRAITOR TO THE LOWEST PVT. & SEAMEN IN OUR MILITARY & A BACK STABBING S.O B. TO NOT ONLY AMERICAN TAX PAYERS; BUT TO EVERY LONG TERM ALLIE WHO SHARED MUTUAL RESPECT, HONOR & TREASURED SECURITY TO ALL OUR PEOPLES OVER THE DECADES!

It’s comical for Canadian government to think it has any power to make threats of an economic crisis in the United States.You’re economical stability and military protection revolves around trade from the United States.The deficit needs to be equal or your the grifters not the American tax payers footing the bills to keep your country from collapse.America will be just fine without crooks like Trudeau.

Trudeau said he don’t want to see American people hurt like we don’t have a better military?

Okay, bud have fun building your military back up.\nThe Canadian Navy and Army are a total joke. Reliant on the Americans.

I guess siding with the bully as he was messing with many counties all these years is now hitting back to both EU and Canada. Very brave speech, though. Unfortunately, international affairs are driven by economic and military power, not by intellectual capacity.

Canada needs to build its military - NOW

Americans are owned by their new King Vladimir Putin now. And China. This is all to help China and Russia. \nWhen will CNN even fkn MENTION \nTHE 200-500 THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS US MANUFACTURERS SELL TO DRUG CARTELS EVERY YEAR ? \nYOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TAKING PART I. TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS. DID YOU EVEN REPORT THE ALABAMA CASE OF THE 5 cops and a spouse. Including the CHIEF OF POLICE Using the Evidence room as their drug supply ??\nHUH. ?\n\nCNN ????????

Can you not see it? Donald Grump wants this. His next move is to ask the military to invade Canada and Mexico. And Grump will tell lies again to the American people why he is doing it. And dumb Americans will believe it. \nHe told Zelensky about WWIII? Grump is the one who’s starting it. And why is that? Simple, Grump and Putin are BFF’s that wants to rule the whole world. \nSane Americans should start a revolution and kick Grump and his cronies out of the office and jail them all in Quantico.

They wanted trump they got trump, now the consequences. I am a combat veteran who has been affected by this trump administration, a man who has never served a day in the military is making decisions that affects millions of US veterans, shame on you trump, my loyalty is to the country not to this fraud president.

trumps plans with putin obviously meet his imperial ambitions more than his democratic allies. trump aided russia by holding back the vote on Ukrainian military aid for months on end costing countless innocent lives and attempting to suck dry Ukraines most powerful weapon their morale!\nNow he is in power just as 3 years of sanctions on russia finally are showing results he turns off Ukraines military aid while repeating kremlin talking points.\nThe US who removed Ukraines nuclear deterrent with the Budapest Memorandum promising to protect its borders which they failed to honour even have trump blaming Ukraine for starting the war.

Lol this country worth fighting for, but u have no military... i guess not worth that much lmao. Idiots

Keep your godndam materials get a fukkn rehab for the millions of all drugs there ?.you need a backbone and make a military ? like 50 years ago pal.u need to retire from your job

Let's compare US vs CA military budget and guess who needs who

When will CNN even fkn MENTION \nTHE 200-500 THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS US MANUFACTURERS SELL TO DRUG CARTELS EVERY YEAR ? \nYOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TAKING PART I. TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS. DID YOU EVEN REPORT THE ALABAMA CASE OF THE 5 cops and a spouse. Including the CHIEF OF POLICE Using the Evidence room as their drug supply ??\nHUH. ?\n\nCNN ????????

I just think Trump is trying to isolate and destabilize the US so much that people rebel. Then he can declare a state of emergency and deploy the military and then he and his billionaire friends have full power in their perfect dictatorship. Take care of your freedom and democracy citizens of the US

Putin managed to take the U.S. without ever firing shot! All thanks to weak, weak, dementia Don! Ukraine has managed to stave off Russian violence and military action for more than 3 years! The U.S. has turned their backs on their allies and licks the boots of a dictator! The gloves are off! Elbows Up, Canada! ❤️???✊️❤️?? ???

You have no fukin military bahahahaha....????

People..Hello..I believe that Trump has aligned himself with Russia, not our allies. Trump's new DOJ has immediately ceased prohibiting foreign money or interference in our Election's. They've stopped our offensive Cyber SECURITY team that prevent Russia from attacking US targets. Why would he do that? Trump has fired Apolitical Generals and Chiefs of staff in the Military, JAG and prosecutor's who weed out fraud or corruption, even involving Trump's actions. Trump doesn't want stopped, if he wants to change the Constitution or demand the Military to arrest citizens. He's Dismantled checks and balances, and evades the Rule of Law. Trump stopped US aid to keep Ukraine's Power Grid functioning, so people hospitalized wouldn't freeze to death. We obviously have a Russian Asset running the Oval office. It only took HITLER 53 day's to become a Dictator. You had better speak up quickly, Republicans and Democrats or you are going to lose your FREEDOMS.

This man is a lier and has taken the guns away from Canadians. The USA does not need Canada. I say we pull our military out of Canada and build a northern border to further protect America. Canada is nothing more than a branch of Britain.\n\nIf you news reporters don't like the American first idea then move to Canada.

Trump is smashing the US and the west's military and economic relationships. And is alighing with Russia. It's mind-bending, but here it is. And here we are.
