Canadian citizens cant even properly defend themselves against an intruder in their own home. This is the same government who didnt allow us to visit our sick family members. You think they care about us.

They can fly in thousands of these people a day, but they can only get 10 out? Seems it's all about votes and not about the lives of Canadians

I’ve been opposed to Trudeau since he came into power. I’ve always thought of him as a deluded maniac. But this speech was really impressive…. Well done.

After a couple of years Trump and co will say, that Canada started a trade war against US. Just like they say, that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started the war with Russia. And now some uf US commentators are saying the same. It’s crazy. And there will be no way to get him to remember the facts. He and all who work for him are liars and half truth tellers. I’m not sure how to deal with this. But it is VERY important for all media outlets to keep reminding the facts. Just tell what happens, so there is a record. I think that could help in the end.\nSo here are my 5p:\nUS started trade war against Canada with 25% tariffs.\nRussia annexed Crimean peninsula and attacked Ukraine in 2022. This is the truth, no two ways about these facts.\nTrump and Vance are liars.
Analyzes US trade war policy and compares it to Russia-Ukraine conflict, arguing for factual record-keeping and criticizing Trump administration's narrative control.
