Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder.\nWhat unites us is far greater than what divides us. The issues and irritants that inevitably affect all neighbors are small deed in comparison with the issues that we face together--above all the somber threat now posed to the whole neighborhood of this continent--in fact, to the whole community of nations. But our alliance is born, not of fear, but of hope. It is an alliance that advances what we are for, as well as opposes what we are against.\n\n*John F. Kennedy*

Mr. Trump and his team have no intention of doing business with Ukraine, Canada, European Community, England, G7, NATO all.\nCanada has been scorned by Trump, who wants to make Canada the 51st state. Now, Ukraine has been scorned by Trump, ridiculed by the Trump team, etc.

Trump uses foreign affairs spectacles to distract the public attention from the hardships the economy of the declining U.S. empire causes its citizens. \nHe is the most danngerous person in history, to the foundation of the U.S. \nThe 2 important things to be aware of re: current the situation of the U.S.: \n1. The deccline of the American emmpire and the dennial/ignoring of that fact by the government, business community and mainstream media. \n2. The fact that strikes and demonstrations will not be effective in bringing the required systemic change to the American systems of government and economy, that the American working class needs so urgently and badly. \nThe only way for the working class in the U.S. to change its fate, is by revvolting, and then establishing Soccialism as the system of government and economy: \nOnly through a Soccialist Revvolution can the working class in the U.S. change its current dreadful situation. The working class is about 97% of the population of the U.S. they are many, many millions of people, many more than the employer class, and so they can act and achieve that crucially important goal.

trudeau the best...trumps third party interference is not necessary...team trump needs to go on a diet...trumps security should be working at the borders and in the communities to remove dangerous substances and get them the meds they need....team trump are clearly terrorists....demand a re election...\nthanks for the report...

Don’t let his BS fool you! Look around in your own communities. Look at the health care system. How many do you know that don’t have a GP so can’t get proper care even though they are sick. The ER tells us we have to have a general practitioner to get anything done! And then there are communities like on Vancouver Island that have closed ER’s in many cities leaving the injured to drive for 2 to 4 hours to the nearest ER. Have any Canadian citizens not heard of fentanyl deaths? Or had someone within 6 people from them have related addiction issues. How many homeless people wander the streets of your communities? This list goes on and on including things like affordable groceries , affordable homes , affordable utilities! \nACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS! Do Justin Trudeau and his parties actions over their term in office really covey their concern for Canadian citizens? I say NOT!

Your true power lies in advocating for these 7 essential needs for everyone —clean air, water, nourishing food, peaceful sleep, safe shelter, meaningful connections, and the ability to create from the heart space. This aligns with the fundamental rights of every human being. By fostering awareness and collaboration, we can work towards a world where everyone has access to these vital resources, supporting our well-being and community resilience. Let's unite to ensure these needs are met for all! Our health and well-being become the true riches in life. Abundance of our needs creates peace on earth. ??

This man does not speak for my family or my community and does not speak for Canada. He's a criminal and ruined my country. Save Canada.

Stop using words such as friends and allies. The US have chosen to established allies with Russia and abandoned Canada, Mexico, the EU, and NATO. Ditch the US. Ban with the global community and gang up on trump and the US economy. Use our power as members of the British Commonwealth and friends with the EU.

Drugs have been dumped in the Black communities for ever. No one cared. DRUGS...REALLY?

From Oklahoma, so many here support you Canada and Trudeau and also Zelenskyy! I know it doesn’t seem like it but there is indeed a big community here that isn’t brainwashed ?

sad when a leader of one democratic country has to explain to another country's people what the realities are of voting for a despot and where hate gets you in the global community - in their hip pocket even before they get satisfaction from the hate vote they chose over friends and allies

Trump is a moron. His supporters are idiots. As a debate free USA home owner. This will not affect me the way it will affect the MAGAT community. Peace out ?

Send to now as bad as it is is an excuse, Big Pharma here in the United States is an even bigger problem, peeling all these drugs to the elderly community with futile efforts. There is something else behind this.

Canada's clear and firm rhetoric against Trump is commendable.\nGlobal developments indicate that public opinion is no longer uninformed as it was two decades ago and is now closely following international affairs.\nThe United States must abandon its policies of threats, sanctions, and war, which it pursues through the use of terrorism as a tool and outsourcing in the terror industry.\nThe international community, in support of Canada's stance, must make Washington realize that a shift in its global approach is imperative; otherwise, it should prepare itself for international sanctions.

Did you know that since the beginning of 2022, housing, healthcare, infrastructure, and affordability in Canada. \n\n$10 billion could have built 30,000+ affordable housing units, reducing homelessness and rent prices. $5 billion could have expanded healthcare, hiring doctors and nurses to cut wait times. $2 billion could have Canada has committed approximately $19.7 billion in multifaceted support to Ukraine. Let that sink in.... $19,700,000,000 ?\n\nThis comprehensive assistance includes over $12.4 billion in direct financial aid, the highest per capita contribution among G7 nations, and $4.5 billion in military assistance, intended to be delivered through 2029.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has pledged a $5 billion contribution, with $2.5 billion disbursed recently and the remaining sum to follow soon.\n\nIf Canada had spent the $19.7 billion on domestic issues, it could have significantly improved\nsupported veterans and provided clean water to Indigenous communities, while $3 billion could have upgraded roads and public transit. Another $2 billion could have funded food programs and tax relief to combat rising living costs.\n\nRedirecting this money could have directly improved the lives of millions of Canadians, addressing urgent national crises instead of foreign aid for a fake war that the Ukraine can never win...

Trudeau is either a liar or he doesn’t have a clue about what is going on in Canada.\nThe borders we share with the United States are far from the fortress of security that he purports them to be. If they were indeed as impenetrable as he asserts, we would not be witnessing a continuous influx of illegal firearms—responsible for a staggering 99.9% of gun-related crimes here in Canada—crossing over from our southern neighbor. Yet, these illicit weapons are making their way into our communities, alongside a troubling wave of unauthorized entries into our country.

I’m: from Germany and we should welcome Canada to the European Community, we have so much more in common with Canada than we have with some of the countries in the EU, sabotaging the EU.

lol made this video and he spoke to the fools of the demon rat community… what a joke

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.

Canada has been the preferred access point for criminals and terrorist for the past 4 years. I have a place right on the border and 8 months ago I caught a young East Indian who already had several felony in the states and had been shipped back to India in previous years. How the heck did that man get a student visa to come to Canada. There are 50,000 East Indian Students missing in Canada who simply used the visa to get into Canada and run the border. This is what we’re are dealing with. I live on the border and I’ve never seen this much traffic. Border guards are simply picking their targets and having to ignore others. So I ask u how do u think I feel about my property being used as an illegal highway bcz of your government incompetence. As someone who also works in native communities throughout Canada I’ll also Trudeau words fall like shit from ass. The drugs have ravaged native communities to the tune of 3/4 of the young ppl. Grandparents are raising the grandchildren and it’s all kept hush hush by the liberal media. They’ve done nothing to stop it bcz it normally boils down to minority groups who they brought in who are making it.

It’s bitter to hear “while he’s speaking French..” before being cut off. Too often the francophone community is belittled in the ?? \nBut I can understand the priority for the panel to speak and for your viewers to stay hooked without subtitles

I believe that the ultimate wet dream of Trump is to have a bigger nation ie. performing hostile takeovers of neighboring countries and of strategic importance for him (Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and others). For that to function, he has agreed with his best buddy Putin to allow him his share of the Europian countries. China will probable be on the same hostile takeover trip all over the pacific as well. He and Putin think that they will loose out against China otherwise. What the poor man doesn't realise is that the community of the UN were and are the best deterence against China. His willingness to break that up will actually lead to a very big world dominating conflict. The clear thinking US politicians need to act quickly before more damage is done to the American people and country. He is on the path of destroying vital friendships to pay for his sick qunon infested mind...(eating cats and dogs....say no more)

I will never go to the US ever again!\nYour cookie cutter culture has no substance.\nYour “gated communities “ are prisons devised to protect the rich.\nYou live in constant fear and your prime focus is perceived threats to your freedom.\nWe here in Canada….not the 51st State, Don have bars on our windows.\nWe drink pure water , breath fresh clean air and we can sleep at night without hearing gunshots all night or the fear of bombs being dropped on us. \nWe are resilient people who can help ourselves in the wake of disasters and challenges.\nWe don’t need people to do our thinking for us.\nWe will overcome the folly of your ways.\nWe died for Americans and freedom in many Wars and we know what it is to make sacrifices!

As an American I implore the global community - do not give in to this fascist. ✊ Help America get rid of Trump!

Anyone with any intelligence, in the intelligence community, knows Russian asset behavior when they see it. It is quite obvious that the President of the United States is compromised and working directly for the Russians now. I believe Putin has very damning video and audio of terrible sins that Trump committed while in Russia for the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant. His so-called friends, the Alagarovs set him up, but Putin and the FSB were behind the entire operation, to be sure. There is no evil or traitorous action Trump will not take to save his own ass. Guaranteed.

Question Americans and Press how Rich more rich will Trump be and is he aligning himself when he is DONE BEING PRESIDENT?! He is taking over companies and communities for Himself while using a USA badge as President. This is not Well and it is the SECOND MONTH OF THE YEAR WE HAVE 3&3/4 years left wow Jesus!!

As an American for the whole of my 70 years, I applaud the actions of PM Trudeau. Please know that the majority of Americans value our friendships in this global community, and are ashamed of the actions taken by Donald Trump. I can only hope and pray that this insanity ends soon.

Harsh! PM Trudeau called his name: Donald is very polite that donalddeserves be called convictedfelon trump.\nNah! I do not see any harsh words from PM Trudeau and convicted felon trump shouls apology PM Traudeau as felon trump him is governor.\nThis president felon misled his country nowhere but backward ,\nWhat is he doing for better! Nah! for richer? Nah! For American greater by those tariffs to closest ally? Nah! But American intelligent communities need to find out what trump truly is.

Trump pandering the the strategic directives of the Project 2025 playbook and its architects empowered by Oligarchs. Sadly it’s includes setting the world on fire to bulldoze and dismantle democracy! It is the only way they are able to live in a new USA that promotes their shocking policies of dictatorship. Brace yourselves globally! Imperialism is back courtesy of DJ Trump & his presidency. Resist you must! Remember who you are! Fight back! Mobilise your communities, it’s left to the people to take back the power! It requires strength in numbers. The world watches & supports & prays for you! ✊?✊?✊???????

Who wouldve said that Trump would worldwide unite people, against him, of course ?✌️. Keep the fight!!! We, international community are with you!!!!! ??

The media is just theater for political poker. People aren't given any truth of what really goes on behind doors with these elites. Both sides are the only ones becoming billionaires. And look how well the media and politicians (both red and blue) have turned people against each other; the real war is dismantling community with my side/your side mind-set. Turning people against each other with this theater will destroy humanity way before nuclear war.

By and large Ukrainians, Europeans, Americans, and Canadians want an end to the war against Russia. Canadians want the opiate catastrophe cleaned up, that 1% is only what the authorities are aware of… plus the liberals & new democrats are pumping a large “safe supply” into our communities! We want our boarders tightened up, and our economy properly, honestly, and transparently managed. Sit down Trudeau… you don’t represent the majority of Canadians. The rest are catching up.

I’m BEGGING someone anyone in the intelligence community to find what blackmail material Putin has on Trump! Leak it!

I am Canadian and I don't trust Trudeau about Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a very serious problem in Canada. You can find it in schools and around corners of almost every community. Our government has no intention to solve Fentanyl problem here. If so, its not possible to stop the flow of Fentanyl from Canada to USA.

A Canadian here - I disagree with Trudeau, trump is not a smart guy, I can't say what I want about the grifter-in-cheif, it goes against community standards.

From France: we refuse to live in a world of brute, without rules of respect of the other cultures. Canadians is a mervelous country who can living with differents community, and tolerance. they understood the significant of the first originals tribues , and include them with a big resoect. At the time where we must to be careful to the health of our environement, we go to take the management of war! Who want to live in a world in war, with machines and AI, controled by a brutal minority of brutes? For the peace and the good life beetwen humans, we must to fight the lies and the corruption. For the souverainity of Canada: fight for the peace.

as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, gosh I hope Canada will put its money where its mouth is when it comes to American refugees

Of course it's CNN. Trudeau, you do not represent Canadians. You have destroyed Canada and only now because of Trump you are dealing with the horrid fentanyl problem that is killing our communities. You have not fixed our health care system nor our political system. YOU NEED TO JUST GO, STOP YOUR EGO DRIVEN LAST GASP AT LEADERSHIP. You prorogued our own government, basically shut down debate and decision making in Canada while you parade yourself around the global world. NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CANADA FIRST, when a short two months ago you were pushing Canada for the past 9 years as a post national state. You are posturing and have no credibility in Canada or globally. YOU DID NOT WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CAME UP WITH NO PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S. YOU JUST WANT TO PREEN AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND SKIRT AROUND RESPECTFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE MANIPULATING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Just take that walk Trudeau and be gone, you have 3 more days and then we do not want to see you again.

Trump now has his hands on the FBI's access to 702 intercept technologies. Will Trump abide by the laws or will he use 702 intercepts to go after his political enemies. Thoughts former non-compromised intel community? Murdoch is a M.I.C.E. catcher.

trump is new president of a failing, corrupt HOA community

When a country is divided like we are , everything we do will result in failures to help our society and communities. We are essentially causing the unraveling of our safety, security and way of life. When Trump weakens us and pillages our financial and military systems as he is also isolating us from other democratic nations one of two things happens. Guess what that is?

Will USA stop the flowing of guns and deadly weapons into Canada and Mexico destroying communities lives, the answer is no, because USA is runned by a weapon cartel Mafia.

American Citizens, band together your local communities in your districts and states. Take in all the information you can about the decisions our government has made, make it concise and to the point, speak to your voted representatives. Make your promise to un-elect if they don't follow the will of the people. There's nothing stronger than the unity of the United States of America, it's time to prove that we are able to unify again, for real.

Indians have used Canada like a flop house. Indians go to diploma mills and try to use it as a backdoor to stay in Canada. They take over Canadian communities and try to turn them into India - making the locals feel like foreigners in their own home. They're also involved in a lot of crime. This includes: auto theft rings, synthetic ID/credit fraud, gun and drug smuggling, and one of the largest gold heists in Canadian history at Toronto Pearson airport. Americans have stated that the top nationality entering the US illegally from Canada is Indian. The drugs they are complaining about entering the US from Canada are almost entirely brought in by Indian truck drivers (Google it and find many examples). A Fentanyl super lab in BC capable of producing over 95 million lethal doses that was busted was run by an Indian. This is now threatening trade with our main trade partner as a trade war has just started. ENOUGH ALREADY! Indians need to be sent home, and banned from entering Canada.

In Japan buildings depreciate in value, like cars, so the house I built last year is worth less this year (and my taxes on it are less). When I first got here I thought it was a horrible system, but now I see what a powerful benefit it is. Housing is quite affordable and there are lots of mixed neighborhoods, like mine, with million-dollar homes, small multi-units, and fewer gated communities. We suffer from a blight of abandoned buildings because at a certain point it just doesn't make economic sense to fix up an old (often cheaply made) home. But because home ownership is a luxury, like a fancy car, not a necessary means to accrue wealth, mortgages and rents are low and there's cheap (and small, so very very small) housing everywhere.

Canada, more than poor economically, a socially sterile country. No sense of belonging, love, community, fun or pride. Traditional families are a rarity. Everyone wants to be alone so no wonder there's no housing. We gradually lost everything that brought us together to allow total sterility to rule everywhere..

These illegals brought bad name to the legal Indian community in the US.

My godson's parents, who he loves and respects and helps financially, are undocumented immigrants here in the US for 30 yrs. He lives in a community of undocumented folks. He and his brother voted for Trump. His whole family understands the consequences of so many people being here illegally. They all understand that being here illegally is a way for our government and the elite to use and abuse people much more easily. When you have as large of a percentage of the population who aren't protected by their citizenship and the laws and who can't access the full benefits of citizenship and who are always scared of being caught and will take less pay, people can be used and abused more easily.

We Indian are almost legal immigrants to Germany. All Indian state love community adoption, we are big inside our culture and different language 28 spoken in India . \n1. We are more adoptable and love to mix another culture. So no doubt of German ?? government policy towards India ?? \n2. We love technology, most Indian immigrants from India who live in Germany are mostly tech guys\n3. A handshaking promise should go,, language barrier should be minimized,, you teach us German language please don’t deny us first instance on language barrier. I know 80% German know English since you are developed from childhood that can be very respectful and interesting. Language learning come with social relationship\n4. Positive things come with positive attitude

Very sickening if all the racist comments on here wow. Like I said I love a mix Canada. I'm christian, I respect other faiths but I love our way of life here. I don't always agree with foreign ways of life (some) the hard work and determination yes.\nDid God say, only white people here and black people there? Nobody cross except a handful? Do you really think heaven has a white black Chinese Spanish only communities? Think again
