Discourse Analysis

Is Trump’s performance in the Oval Office really what the GOP equates to strength? Kicking our ally while they’re down, who’s been fighting one of our supposedly greatest adversaries who invaded their country? Berating him for not wearing a suit, or not being grateful enough, or being too hateful to the man who invaded his country and kidnapped Ukraine’s children? If this is strength, why doesn’t he treat Putin this way? It’s only weaker allies where he pounds his chest. Bully. Coward.

Well said Mr. Trudeau! We Canadians absolutely support your statements. I certainly hope, that if the US remove the said tariffs, that we will keep our export tariffs on the selected products for 4 years. Let the next ad ministration get the win of us removing the tariffs. Yes we will go through a rough time, but we will get through it. Enough with the threats from Trump.

The problem that i see here in Canada, each province doesn’t work together. One province will block other province flow of products. Hope that provinces will help one another.

Then Stop ripping us off Mr Govener

I'm usually reasonable enough to realize that while I may disagree with many policy decisions, there's usually a relatively coherent line of thought to back said actions up. The problem here is that there’s no clear logic behind using tariffs as a tool to curb fentanyl trafficking or immigration. I'm not going to speak on the issue of immigration at the Canadian border because there simply is none. Yes, there are illegals from Canada, but almost 100% of them are from overstaying visas rather than crossing the border unlawfully. So let's talk about fentanyl. \n\nMost fentanyl in the US originates from China, often in precursor form, and is then processed in Mexico before being smuggled into the states. But it's typically trafficked in small, high potency quantities, often hidden in legitimate shipments or through mail, and only on very rare occasions is it being brought in by individuals crossing the border. It has _never_ been documented to have shipped in as part of large scale commercial imports, so a 25% tariff on legal trade with Canada and Mexico doesn’t directly target the black market supply chain at all.\n\nIf we take Trump’s reasoning at face value, the argument seems to be that he wants to exert economic pressure on Mexico and Canada as a means of having them crack down harder on drug trafficking networks. But the issue is that fentanyl simply isn’t coming in through mass import channels, so all this looks like is a punitive measure without a clear mechanism to actually achieve its stated goal. And the implications? Drastically higher costs for consumers in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

And absolutely nothing will change and it will only get worse. If you point out the negative impacts you are labeled as 'racist'. Joke of a country and joke of a society. They are ruining the country and pointing that out is 'racist'.

Trump is turning America into a fascist government destroying the middle an lower class.The tariffs will starve alot of Americans, cutting all programs that help people will be devastating. Elections dont matter anymore Musk an starlink has fixed that. His goal is to mirror Russia an all fascist governments. He's turning Russia enemies into US enemies.

I thought this guy put his resignation forever ago I guess that was a joke? I find it funny that Canada is so strong and fighting back but their people are already fighting to just eat everyday and trying to get to the food bank everyday! You would think the the Pm would be more focused on helping his people then he is about helping and standing with Ukraine, pretty soon he won’t have any people to fight for!

The two village idiots Sean Fraser and Marc Miller, the previous Immigration Ministers were just as clueless and incompetent. So no real change after 11 years.

Thats because Trudeau put us there

People voted for NDP and Liberal Justin Trudeau and now they are complaining, too late, human rights will protect criminals and nothing can be done

Canada has lost the plot. Recruiting foreigners for our military should be illegal. There is no doubt Carney is destroying Canada. Canada and Canadians don’t make these decisions. Carney makes them in the backrooms without consultation with anyone. The Liberals take no ideas or instruction from the people who are paying and employing them. They did not elect a Dictator which we have.

Stop saying the U.S. It's Donald Trump. This didn't happen under Biden, or Clinton or Obama. NAFTA. Trump is the FAULT.

It's a shame Canadians aren't granted the privilege of a vote

Making an enemy of Trump is not going to work. Trudeau has no way of knowing who is coming here illegally. Our border is far too gigantic and mostly unguarded. Secure the border and Trump will back off. Your second choice will be 3rd world war. If you think Putin is going to go backwards on this you are mistaken. The Russians have invested the lives of thousands of their children so far. You don't seem to understand how dangerous a game you are playing. You are naive Trudeau and leading us to the brink of hell.

As a Canadian all of you should know that this guy has decimated our country. Don't be deceived by the smile and rehearsed speech.

We need ICE here, CBSA is clearly not doing their job what a shame

You're such a loser Trudeau, it's you who did this!

it should be 50k allowed in only, and we should be sending out 20k a month until those who aren't welcome have actually been booted out

Funny how Canada support Khalistan independance movement but when it is Quebec or Alberta this is bad lmao
