Discourse Analysis

Trudeau is a dumbass

From the UK I cannot for the life of me see what Benefit these tariffs are to the US and why Trump has taken a sledgehammer to the trust between America and its allies. It is simply incredible.

Donald Trump isolates the US from all it’s allies. Leaving the world stage to its enemies. It is madness

Stop flowing Fetanyl into our country. If you are a friend and ally why have you allowed thousand and thousand of Americans to die from drug overdose. What a ridiculous press conference. You haven't done anything to fight against illegal immigrants and drugs.

I just don't understand why is Canada responsible for American junkies? Canadians are not forcing Americans to get high. trump educates your people about drug addiction.

Justin Trudeau is a moron. He has ruined my once great country.

Quit acting like this is a guy who Canadians actually like. Trudeau is massively unpopular and will be gone very soon, when the new Prime Minister of Canada is put in place there will be a deal. Canada has run wild for far too long getting the best of us in every way now that it is fair they act as if they have been doing us favors all along when it has been the other way around.

No- it's not American relationship. It's a Donald problem.

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.

Trump is a disaster for the US.

Why only respond with 30B tariffs and wait 21days for the other 125B?? Weak government

Who would image the man who bankrupted multiple companies is now working to destroy America’s economy. Republicans are you winning yet? Ready for the next economic depression?

Trudeau is talking tough because he's about to be punted out of office. Great.....this idiot has destroyed Canada for 9 years and now he's going to poke the bear and run to his Quebec paradise laughing the whole way.

Ur own ppl don’t like you Trudeau!!!

This clown is destroying Canada

Why is he talking. He lost a vote of no confidence and is going to jail for corruption. He should be thrown out of Canada

Canada should do 100% tariffs. Counter 25% shows weakness.

Sorry Justin... even though I enjoyed this speech you're still responsible for ruining our country. Your woke policies and taxes have crippled the majority of Canadians and you have the nerve to say the government has our backs is an absolute joke. I don't believe a word you say and I never will. If Pierre was in office right now Trump would have respect for us Canadians. Trump despises JT and so do 80% of Canadians.

Every country is an adversary to trump - except Russia and North Korea ….\nHe is tearing the Uas and the world apart.\nAn absolute disaster of a leader

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now
