I am absolutely outraged what Trump is doing. We the People of the United States as A Democrat never Voted for a Felon to the Whitehouse. Trump wanted to be President so he wouldn’t do Time. \nHe won’t even disclose what is in the Epstein Files because he was part of it. He had these young girls at Mar O Lago. \nI STAND WITH UKRAINE, PALESTINE, CANADA, MEXICO AND ALL EUROPEAN LEADERS TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND HIS IDIOTIC VICE PRESIDENT WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER AND DID NO COMBAT FIGHTING HE OVER FLATED HIS MILITARY RECORD. AS A FORMER NAVY CORPSMAN DEPLOYED TO OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOMS I SAW WHAT ROLE EVERYONE PLAYED. WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES AND THE UNIT BY FIRING OUR WEAPONS BUT WILL NEED TO GIVE LIFE SAVING CARE. \nTrump Needs to see how he is treating leaders in these countries and I tell Canada Turn the Power off in New York and any other State to prove a point and charge leaders an exorbitant amount of money for using Fuel from Canada.

The new leader of the democratic world is looking for candidates from Canada and Europe.

Who cares. Soon, Quebec will become an independent country. While the other Canadian provinces will become new U.S states. CANADA WILL BE NO MORE IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS!!!! Your land will become ours and you will always remember that its America who won. GTFO Canada!!!!

Lady, this is gonna hurt the US worse than Canada...we will find new trade partners...NO ONE but Russia wants anything to do with your country now

Thank you emphasizing the role of municipalities in this. Unlike other jurisdictions, in Canada municipalities are responsible for all transport infrastructure and utility infrastructure with the exception of major provincial highways, airports, and electricity and gas distribution systems. Meanwhile, Canadian municipalities can only levy property taxes and no income or sales taxes. Thus, Canadian municipalities governments are very attached to property owners, leading to the political conditions that make housing harder to build and new housing more expensive. The vast majority of the policies restricting housing supply and increasing costs of new housing, like development charges on new homes to fund infrastructure instead of taxing existing property owners, onerous and restrictive zoning regulations, and slow and expensive permitting processes all come from the cities. Honestly, for many city politicians it is to their advantage to make the crisis worse. Why wouldn’t a city councillor vote to raise development charges on building new homes instead of raising property taxes on existing homes to pay for stuff like replacing life expired sewer and road and subway infrastructure!? His constituents aren’t going to care about the costs of new homes, which affect people moving to the city or younger generations, which are either not yet residents of the city or too young to vote.

I think Canada needs a new leader. Son of Castro is done!

I'm a new zealander & I feel like Canada & new Zealand people are very similar, stay strong Canadian homies

https://youtube.com/shorts/ks2GIkH0aAc?si=UK6serGRoc_D-1iO\n Trump leave Canada alone my new song

Are fellow Americans friends and neighbors, the Americans people are very welcome to come to Canada as are close friends, the American jerk President Trump and his idiotics cabinet and their new alliance of alleys ARE NOT WELCOME TO OUR AND YOURS COUNTRY, sadly enough, you do not have a President, you have a BULLY IN AND A CRIMINAL AT BEST, TRYING TO RUIN THIS WORLD OF OURS, we all need to work together on getting this world of ours back together,

Canada doesn't stand a chance against United States If we wanted to take you over we could. ???? So what it has been high who cares. You have nothing i want.. and you should have thought that before your country made a mockery of our national anthem when Darien lake New York always plays yours and we always stand so get bent cokehead

Yes Canada! \n\n7:16 Donald ?\n\nSeems Donald is trying to make a new friend Putin (can't he see that Putin's laughing?)

As a EU citizen i welcome Canada to the EU, i know they are considering to Join the United States of Europe, and they have borders with one of our Union States, Denmark with Denmark's province: Greenland, and so they are more than qualified and welcome to join our United States of Europe.\nI know Canada is shifting its trade, it had previously with the USA to EU, and we welcome our new partner in trade aswell, Everything that you previously had from the USA can be now provided by Europe, and with No tarifs at all.\nWelcome Canada to the EU! United we all stand for a FREE world! No to Trump's national socialism, no to putin's dictatorship! they became our enemies!

USA born. USA small business owner. And I stand with Canada. Stay strong. And keep up the fight against our new USA king

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

How about Canada just annex New England? Please? I'd be down with it.

Trump should at least wait until the new prime minister of Canada is coming in at any time this what you sow call a man will no longer be part of the Canadian politics he has ruined our country from top to bottom he doesn't deserve any air time what Trump could have waited until the new prime minister was in because I'm sure he would be way more willing to work with Trump and not against Trump

Trump is smart. it's blackmail, he scares you with 25% tarrifs. then he will say, we can deal now for 15% or 10 BUT you need to give me this and give me that like minerals etc... if we dont well then our Canadien compagnies will either shut down or they will have to move to the States and than will give new jobs in the States. lol there you go win win for the States. Nothing good for Canada or others. He also said if tariff dont work to kill Canadien economie to absorb Canada then he would take it by force.

Nop problem, is it time to build Canada ?? ? ?? Cuba new paradise

Long live Canada. The USA will soon be out of NATO and have no back up from any NATO country, when China, Russia, Iran and North Korea use the Trump and Vance comedy show to take over and rule the New World.

Australian living in New Zealand here and i support you 100% Canada. Trumps is a Russian asset now and nobody should trust the US goverment. When their economy collapses they will only have themselves to blame for voting in a con artist and criminal that is totally unqualified to be leading anything bar a meal line in a public jail.

tbh we've had Apple and Japan commit to over a trillion dollars that 150 billion we just spent in ukrain not to mention the face were about to get 500 more billion in rare earth. Fuck canada and their liberal media. cars and trees is all we get from them and we have plenty of lumber and Honda is putting a new factory in Indiana.

I am Ukrainian from Kyiv. Standing with Canada and American people who don't support Trump's policies. Thank you a loooot for supporting us! Its mean a lot for us! Unfortunatly looks like Trump find a new friend - putin(( ?

Trump seeks to weaken the United States, force Canada into the 51st state, annex Greenland, restrict Mexico economically, repossess the Panama Canal and put it all at Putin's feet. Trump is pursuing Putin's agenda at a time in the history of the earth when climate change is opening up the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole to industrialization and commercialization along new routes never seen before . Trump's policies do not benefit the American people at all, but rather the economic potential of the Russians, The King of the North.

New Yorker here i with Canada ??

Thank you Prime Minister. We will fight for our country Canada, our culture, our values and our economy. We will not negotiate with a country that directly threatens our sovereignty. We hope in future to rebuild a relationship with our neighbours, but only when that can be done in a respectful manner. Time now to unite with other countries and build new trading relationships.

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

US is a traitor country! Canada should do business with Europe to strengthen our economy and military before US starts to try destabilizing Canada and Europe! US is our new common enemy unfortunately!

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

As a New Zealander, I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Europe ?? ❤

HERE IS THE TRUTH OF THIS - ASK WHO STANDS TO GAIN IF WE LOSS AND CANADA LOSSES? - BUSINESS THAT WILL BUY UP BUSINESSES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER! NOTHING NEW HERE TO UNDERSTAND - FOLLOW THE MONEY. TANK THE MARKET THEN BUY LOW - BACK OFF IN A FEW DAYS AND SELL WHEN IT RETURNS TO NORMAL PRICES.. THIS IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A CASH GRAB... WATCH THEM GET FAT WHILE YOU SUFFER... LOSE JOBS. IT IS PAYBACK TO SUPPORTS, RUSSIA AND THE BILLION BUNCH... THEY WIN - YOU LOSE... I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR US ALL TODAY AND I DO MEAN ALL OF US. THOSE THAT VOTED FOR HIM DO NOT DESERVE THIS EITHER. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU REPAY LOYALTY. ?

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

Maybe there will be a new wall between Canada and USA, which Canada will pay to make new regime in US great again, and finally US with this wall around them, will be a free again... Alone. Sad story.

You open the gates for illegals from Canada to usa everyone has seen videos. Taxis plying between New York and Canada border.. nothing matters other than protecting the sancity of borders of the country..That the only reason president trump had advantage on democrats and now people of Canada should also take a decision about u r leadership as u made ur country home of khalistani terrorist and Hindu RSS fanatics

Trump has declared war on all of the US allies, but has decided to give his new ally Russia and buddy Putin a pass. Isn’t it clear by now, that Trump and the GOP are clearly Russian assets?; there is no other plausible explanation for what has happened with Mexico, Canada, Europe and of course Ukraine. Trump is obviously working together with the Russians, to create a new World order led by Putin, with Trump as his second in command. The GOP are traitors.

From an American citizen, GIVE TRUMP HELL CANADA!!! Please make new trade partners and new alliances. Cut the US out and off completely. This is going to hurt Americans very badly, as you say. Trump is sick. He is a want to be dictator. He wants to be like Putin, and like Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan! This may very well be the end of American as world leader... This may be our very end.

How about we hear him in court has everyone forget what he's done and doing to Canada and using this turbulent time to try and save his sorry ass don't fall for it if he really cared we would have had a new PM long ago and sing would've got that pension and he's stepped down and closed parliament but still spending billions

Canada better elect a new Prime Minister because this guy is horrible.

Canada, UK, Ukraine, Turkey and EU (without Hungary) should make some New Union

I wish Canada would make us a new province

Wow great speech, especially first minute. He isn't scared of our new traitor president. Kudos to Canada for standing up to our lousy bully. Sadly, its just one lousy businessman doing this to everyone. Nice work MAGA. What you gotta say now?

These are incredible and true words. Simply said with intelligence. A truly remarkable leader, sorry that you will lose him Canada. I support you and Ukraine. From New Zealand ??

But Trump promised you a golden era he didnt say for who....apparently for the working middle class- .its looking less shiny for you, ?? Things are going to cost more for all.of us, well- now in Canada our eggs are now cheaper as we have to shop by bus! The Bourbon is off the shelves, and I maybe need to make a new list for help from Santas elves; His billionaire pals, tho will be entering that new golden age, and chumming with Putin to try and appease any Russian rage ! The Donald has acted and now we all pay, the skies today in North America all grey.

I am a Canadian and agree with Trump. Working on my citizenship! Tired of conservatives, liberals and democrats!!\n\nJustin Trudeau will fuck this up, like he told Zelenskyy to not take the deal with Trump!\n\nJT is a traitor to Canada… Oops, I mean New India.

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

Canada is the new leader of the free world.

Praise the Father, Son & Holy Spirit for President Trump and his boldness. It is time for Canada to vote for a new Prime Minister. 10 years of poor Canadian leadership. Instead of extending peace he calls the current USA leadership derogatory names. Does he forget that President Trump received the popular vote! Wake up Canada!

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

Myself a humble, quiet, soft spoken overly apologetic Canadian from Alberta will explain to the Orange clown loving Americans what just happened. (just in case the sudden politeness/professionalism was a cerebral barrier) ..My boss gave your boss the middle finger and had a talkie talk to him like you would a child or someone with severe mental disabilities... and, btw.... Canada welcomes Maine, Washington state and Oregon as our new provinces if they want or need to defect. No questions or security check involved.. all good ..we get it! come on up! Free Tim Horton's coffee on me!!
