okay the white guy on the bike lost me when he said " google the average iq of africa" bro have you seen the average american iq? it's going higher bcz it's boosted by immigrants from not america. also africa isn't a country

Oh so you are that guy who spread hatred against Indians by the "poop festival video" which festival was unknown by most of the Indians themselves. We Indians are the most successful in US and Canada. And accept the fact that if you people had that talent then you were not going to hire foreign talents. *You need us Indians* . And you are jealous of us as we Indians earn more than average Canadians or Americans and you don't have the talent to beat us that's why your own companies hire us.

0:57 average american talking shit again

their average IQ is 78. in all of india there is less than 3000 people with an IQ over 130. over 1.5 billion people, over 4.25x the number of people in the USA. yet any midsize american city will have more people with 130 IQ than all of india.

I felt the racism coming through the screen. Using Canada as a "stepping stone" to "sneak into the greatest country on earth" was funny though - it really shows how self-obsessed Americans can be. India has its problems, but Indians legally migrating to Canada should not be seen as criminals. The visuals used were also very offsetting - when a woman said India is a beautiful country, you showed us dirty Indian roads. We can do that too: show people of Fentanyl and drug overdoses whenever you say "greatest country on earth." Over 40% of Canadian immigrants are economic class immigrants who go through rigorous points-based selection (IRCC, 2023) Indian immigrants to Canada have higher educational attainment than the Canadian average - 52% hold bachelor's degrees or higher compared to 34% of the general population The US has approximately 107,000 drug overdose deaths annually (CDC, 2023), with fentanyl involved in over 70% of cases India-Canada remittances totaled $5.7 billion in 2022, contributing significantly to both economies Indian-Canadians have lower unemployment rates (5.8%) than the national average (5.9%)

hails to the average whyte guy with the bike!!!!!!!! american blkks are below down syndrome level too, they can't even make a burger.

Gee…what a surprise! ….NOT! \nThe most toxic person in the world who LOVES to create chaos & division has stirred up a bees nest in countries all around the world. That’s what Trump does. Chaos, division, hard feelings & bitterness are his forté. \nThat’s the leader America has chosen over someone with common sense, intelligence, & who would have tried to unite the American ppl & create an economy that would be stable & help the majority of Americans because Kamala IS like the majority of Americans. She understands the struggle of trying to making a living when you’re not born into wealth like Trump was.\nHe can’t relate to the struggles of the average American family trying to earn enough to provide for their families. He’s never known that struggle. \nAnd why should he care if he causes ppl on both sides of the border to lose jobs, & consequently lose their homes? He’s rich. He can afford the higher costs of everything in both countries that he is initiating. He chose this trade war because he wants to take over Canada. \nWhat is wrong with Americans who thought voting him in AGAIN was a great idea over the common sense & economic stability Kamala Harris offered? He TOLD you he was going to do this. \nYou ppl who voted for him KNEW his past history. He’s a proven liar, a cheat, a fraud, a scammer, a sexist, a predator of vulnerable women, & a convicted felon..\nAnd more than anything else, he’s a BULLY! He uses his words with his bull horn & public media to speak against anyone who opposes him to try to subtly motivate his MAGA hounds to attack the ppl & their families that actually tell the truth about him. And then he steps aside & waits for his minions to respond & acts totally innocent as if he is not responsible because he did not directly tell them to go after the ppl he very purposely speaks hostile about. WAKE UP! He IS responsible because he knows very well his words have power to influence ppl to take action. \nAnd too many cowards in the Supreme Court & Republican party including his own VP Mike Pence were all too afraid to speak up against him. \nIf the majority of Americans want such a toxic person for leader, that’s America’s poor choice but Canada wants NO PART in his BS.\nHands off Canada because we WILL stand united & will support our governments efforts & the efforts of other Canadians to withstand against Trump’s bullying tactics.\nBUY CANADIAN!

as a european i can say we are equally sick of the USA. \nwe all see this around the world. \nand donald is pushing alot of different countries and talking smack about alot of supposedly allied countries. \nsoon the USA wont have many friends. and once we start doing deals with eachother instead and outside of the USA. \nand once we stop using US Dollar as primary trade currency between countries what gonna happen to the average americans economy or wealth saved up?

So happy as a European to see America finally deciding to hang out with countries its been much alike for decades: Russia, North Korea.. The mask is off. Mistake not Americans, you are just as brainwashed as the average Russian. Good luck, you will need it but since you are the one nation under God (propaganda brainwashing) I'm sure ya'll got this.

Mr. Trump has shown that he is the biggest danger ever to your own national security. The average American is going to feel this the most. Mr. Trump is nothing but a puppet of Vladimir Putin. He is the biggest threat you have ever had to your freedom. This accomplishes what the Cold War couldn’t.

Trump and Maga are like any crazy regime, absolutely full of magical thinking and not based in reality. So 2+2 = 6 and if you don’t agree, you hate America. Average Americans are expected to believe that a bunch of billionaires and companies that have been robbing them blind for 40 years will now have their backs because they are actually in government instead of just pulling the strings from the sides. Or because they trigger the right people on the Internet. . I also hate how every leader in the world has to pay some kind of false reverence to Trump even though they all know he’s nuts out of some kind of decorum. Just want somebody with balls to get up and say fuck him and fuck his lunacy. And shove your decorum up your arse because Trump doesn’t have any. It’s about time you realise what you’re dealing with and pull the gloves off. Playing nice and nice and reasonable is only playing into his hands.

Tariffs don’t help Americans, maybe businesses and corporations but not us. Americans should travel to Australia and see what they could’ve bought and how cheap they are. Thank you government for banning some countries products and making their cheap prices outta reach for the average Americans. ?

Our government just started multiple Wars, and the average American will feel the effects this time unlike in some foreign land....

First, the orange criminal is not a “very smart” man. At best he has, perhaps, average intelligence, but worst, he is dangerously ignorant of history and facts (how many other Americans over forty don’t know the significance of Pearl Harbor?). Sadly, for the U.S. and the entire world, Americans have seen fit to place a person with a severe case of Dunning-Kruger into the White House – again – they didn’t learn the first time.\n\nSecond, on this fentanyl thing. Are the vast majority of Americans children? The best way to keep them from becoming addicted or killing themselves with the stuff is to keep it from them? Where is the self-control…the ability of people to tell themselves no? The easiest way to kill any business is to starve it of customers.

I still don’t get how MAGA people don’t see how Trump and his administration is screwing our economy even more than it already was!!! His policies are only making the rich even richer while suffocating even more the average American. What will it take for them to open their eyes!!!

I disagree with him. Donald is clearly not a “very” smart guy. Even a person with average IQ would make so many and so big poor decisions. He is a muppet on the hands who realized how easily he can be manipulated. Most unAmerican president in the history of USA. Worse than Nixon. Danger to USA and American people. As long as he is the president. We can no longer say POTUS is “the leader of the free world “ He prefers murderous dictators. Not the free world.

Trump & his imbecilic red neck supporters are a global disgrace. Look at how America is treating it’s western allies, while in the same breath calling for the lifting of sanctions against Russia. Keep your eye on U.S. inflation figures & the skyrocketing cost of living for the average American person. Wake up people & stop drinking the Trump Kool-aide.

I wish the left hadn't become so damned Woke. This is the result of their failure to the average American, in favor of liberal wack jobs.

“ smart”?! Don’t agree with that PM. Stop trying to play nice . Trump has filed for Chapter 11 plenty of times, he’s dubbed people from fake plans such as the “ school” he made up. He’s owed people money and have always hid behind his lawyers. Trump doesn’t care about us average Joe Americans. Trump’s plan with these tariffs are to cover the cost that he’ll give his corporate billionaire buddies another tax cut . Let’s not forget that he gaved the biggest corporate tax cut on American history during his 1st term and preparing another one this time around, but he’ll do it when the animosity calms down. He’s crooked as f***. And those who believe in him are completely delusional. He doesn’t pay a penny in taxes like his buddies.

You know why fentanyl is so popular in the US? Cause the live of an average American is so miserable, they want it despite all hazards and risks. Tariffs will make American lives even worse so desire for that drug will only increase.

We are already in a recession our purchasing power is greatly reduced if you think the average American hasn’t been hurting since 2008 then you aren’t paying attention

Why would Trump care- he sits in his white house or Trump tower UNEFFECTED- what does he know about the struggle of the AVERAGE AMERICAN?? He can only think of lifestyles like the French Riviera and golf courses. Does he care about what hes doing for the AVERAGE AMERICAN??? His actions speak.

Measure Trudeau’s words against Trump’s words when he delivers his speech to Congress this evening. While Trudeau presents facts, Trump will present misinformation and lie about how his policies and tariffs are great, best ever. Truth is, he has no plan for the average American, no plan for Ukraine security or peace, no realistic plan for Gaza, no compassion for Americans who are losing their jobs and benefits.

Get rid of Trump. As a indigenous American our leadership is indangering average citizens. Already the children are starting to suffer cause of Trumps government.

Quit calling it a war Trudeau, they just showed us that they are taking care of themselves...trump will provide americans with what they need... You however have done nothing but take from us canadians..you made our country a drug pit..just drive thru any small to bc towns and look at how many more drug addicts are wandering the streets..10x more since your new drug laws...you give our money away, and how did you get so rich when you gov. Pay heck is only a specific amount?...you soend more canadian tax payers money on a two week vacation that what two average canadian house holds make in a year...rent is outrageous, inflation has put people in the poor house, and in the very end your ego is trying to look good just so you can go off into the rest of your life in your own delusion...go away man. Why dont you support us canadians by accepting the new financial hike and get us on to making momey in different ways...quit complaining and quit trying to get us into a war...when someone puts crap on me, i dont let them own me any further, i just cut them off and get on to living by rolling up my sleeves and doing the work... Trudeau, your just a politician who failed us, quit using the priminister position to make thinhs worse for canada...youve proven that you really dont care about canada, and that you have gotten rich by pocketing taz payers money...go away man...canadians, do fall into the spin doctor media war creating wimpering crap..lets get the right person in seat, manufacture what we need to, rebuild the military that we use to have, and get rid of the liberal party...truedau has done worse to us than usa has...

As A Canadian... I'm not a fan of Justin ... but his speech right here is exactly how Canadians feel .. we know it's not the average American... and we applaud you for standing with us ... But this is a speech America needed to hear

from the uk..keep strong my friends..its going to be tough but you do have a government willing to help . unfortunately Americans dont the average citizen will be hit hardest my thoughts are with you all...its going to be the longest 4 years ...........will take decades to fix the damage and trust is blown

Looking in from the out side I applaud Trudeau on his speech. But........ Canada needs the USA more than the USA needs Canada. Trump is who the United States elected by a majority. No games..... no fraud..... He IS THE Average large pickup driving, loud and rude American. He Is America and the rest of the world needs to take note.\n\n To be fair, in historical terms, the USA was created to be isolated and different than Europe. They went to War to become an independent country away from Europe. This whole idea that they follow Europe everywhere is only a small blip in history since WW2, they were never set up to be that.\n\n If Anything, the rest of the world should see there mistake in becoming so dependent on the USA. You should never put that much faith and trust in just one country.

He’s not talking to the average American worker… he’s talking to the liberal activists to give them talking points…

Excellent reporting. I was beginning to worry that your average American was all for this madness. AND wonder if Putin has some sort of hold or is blackmailing Trump….

Can a us become a province of Canada. Because I'm not proud to be an American with Maga on this earth and Trump as the King and Elon being president. The gullible average American who voted for a rapist and felon is a problem too. Never forget who put these un American people in office.

Anyone who believed that tRump ever had any intention to bring economic relief to the average American is deaf, dumb, and blind, not to mention naive and ignorant.

The members of the U.S.Congress know exactly what there doing along with crooked President Trump....its a money grab thats all it is,these tariffs will only hurt American tax payers period,dont think for one minute that these crooked politicians arent in cahoots with these companies and Trump that will also profit from this off the backs of the American people and yes i know the American companies are responsible for paying the tariffs hence the increse passed on to the American people....These people that holds these offices are not in office to serve you,thats why they all leave office multi millionaires,i know it and they know it and maybe one day just maybe the average American citizen will realize this too.⏳⚖️???.

Do what you have to do pm Trudeau....the average NORMAL American can't make it make sense either ...smh

❤ Canada. We, the sane, non-MAGAt Americans, also do not want this, nor did we vote for this because we did NOT vote for an obviously mentally ill, functionally illiterate, elderly man with signs of dementia, whose main function besides destroying our country to enrich himself & all of his millionaire & billionaire buddies, is acting as a useful idiot pain for Putin. We, the Americans who value what our country has stood for, whose fathers & and grandfathers fought in both World Wars, who lived in the time before all of the current vaccines existed, who believe in equality, who value the immigrants--documented or undocumented, who believe our country should welcome them & make their paths to citizenship easier because we understand how our country & economy benefit from them living in this country, who understand & value the roles that the WHO, NATO, & the United Nations have played in keeping us ALL safer for many decades bc we REMEMBER or were told by our parents, what it was like b4 those things existed, who either lived thru The Great Depression or had parents & grandparents did, understand what the economic crisis that Trump & his band of greedy ahole idiots are deliberately causing. WE didn't do this. WE fought against it. We tried to explain & warn people about what is happening & what will happen, but you didn't EFFING LISTEN. WE are ANGRY. WE will NOT help any of you who caused this & this includes every MSM who is too afraid to speak truth to power. Start doing that NOW. Start with THIS: It's called The Gulf of Mexico, NOT the Gulf of America. Eff every Trump supporters & GOP politician--at EVERY level of government. Trump can TRY to hide what he's doing to the economy in his stupid reports. Do you honestly believe the average American pays attention to those? No, most are too busy worrying over how to pay their bills & all they'll see is that their situation is getting worse. They can't find a job. They can't afford gas. They can't afford groceries. You can't cover any of that up. WE stand with Canada, Ukraine, the EU, & every other ally nation. Not Russia. Putin can go straight to hell & the sooner the better.

Americans love it when someone loses bigger than them. It creates the illusion of success. When billionaires win, they will gaslight the poor that everyone is winning. Trump DOESN'T CARE ABOUT AVERAGE AMERICANS.

I was born in a communist country, but even we haven't had such a joke as Trump. I sincerely sympathize with the average American, such a joke will lead them to ruin in 4 more years. Trust in American business partners will be zero in the next 4 years at least if they let this old man play with Putin.

Im an American. I can tell you all of us are barely surviving and the average people feel powerless to stop this madness. Sorry Canada MAGA elected a mad man. ?

trump s genie on tariffs is going to hammer average American that s 90 percent of America

The tariffs are a distraction as the multi-billionaires walk off with a four trillion dollar tax cut, subsidies, and protections for their corporations... while the hard working average American is saddled with a 10 to 25% tax increase... thanks, Donald.

American here who is MAD AS HELL at dirty, filthy trump!! Hit the switch, Canada! TURN OFF THE POWER. BOYCOTT ALL AMERICAN PRODUCTS. JACK UP THE TARRIFS. Economic pain is, unfortunately, all that the average dumbed-downed MAGA Americans understand.

Dear Mr. Trudeau. Although your presentation is articulate and to the point, I feel that you’re using too many words for the average MAGA American to comprehend. Here’s a sample; tariff bad, you pay too much for stuff bought at Walmart.

Traitor Trump doesn't care about the prosperity of the average everyday Americans. He cares and has only cared about his own prosperity. FDJT, Shadow President Musk (the illegal South African immigrant) and the Lying RepubliCON Party!

What can the average American do?? We have no say. We have no wins. Our jobs are being ripped out from under us. While they Ski and Golf. Not to mention the crypto crap.. I’m tired and fed up with this ? swinging when neither of them have a working member amongst them.. over 70? His wife definitely has a ? in her pocket!???

Canada is right, trump is wrong. This is a huge mistake and average Americans will pay the price.

An average American says.......WE ARE SORRY CANADA !!! Forgive the fools that voted for #Drump.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, raised U.S. import duties significantly to protect domestic farmers and businesses. Sponsored by Senator Reed Smoot and Representative Willis Hawley, the act increased tariffs on over 20,000 goods by an average of 40% to 60%\n\nAlthough intended to shield American industries during the Great Depression, the act backfired. It led to retaliatory tariffs from over 25 countries, a collapse in global trade, and exacerbated the economic downturn. U.S. exports and imports fell by two-thirds between 1929 and 1932.  Economists widely regard it as one of the most disastrous economic policies in U.S. history.

We (Americans) who are center-left are with you. Anyone who does the math won’t find a sensible answer; there is none. Average Americans will feel the hurt first. They say there is a backlash, here and there… but these clowns continue onward to the destruction of everything we hold dear.

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires

Put aside party political differences, we CANADIANS will stick together, and to fight together. Average Americans, please listen: We are reluctant to have a fight, but we are not afraid of fighting and for sure we will hit back when we are insulted, threathened, imtimidated and got the 1st blow on our face without any reason. No one can leave a fight without a bleeding face and nose and you will be as miserable as we love to see. CANADIANS can be as nice as anyone can find on earth, and we can be as tough beyond your immagination. Now with the 25% tariff on on, we will have no choice. You will feel the pain from now.
