First of all why is she asking people this? As a leader she should know the issues, and have the answers. Obviously she does not know, and should not be the leader/Premier. So she wants to wait another year to have a survey, and then start working on things? That sounds insane to me. With $60 oil, Danielle states Alberta's debt will skyrocket. Oil is heading to $40 per barrel. That's $50 billion dollars more debt PER YEAR than in 2024. When you add on the costs to finance that , you are looking at maybe $70 Billion deficit per year very soon. That is unstainable for such a small population. Then the separatists want to ad at least a trillion dollar loan, to leave Canada and service that debt. Where is all this massive wealth the separatist spew? Then she wants to wait another year for the people to tell her what to do about it. She is totally insane. Danielle, the worst Premiere in Alberta's history. Another survey, and another year wasted while nothing get's done? Please stop blaming everyone else for Alberta's problems. It is getting tiring. Danielle never says much that is correct. Like her ridiculous CPP rebate cheque. The way she calculated that was totally insane. Today she stated Ai would save Alberta's economy. She may not know it but Ai makes almost no jobs. It also needs massive energy and a good power grid, and Alberta's is ancient. That's why she is just a small time TV show host. Alberta's problems is as always, due to a bad Premiere, and she is the worst of them all. Dec 2025 Employment Insurance Recipients 67,520 UP 21.9% y/y Q3 2025 Net Migration 5,849 Down -86.2% y/y Dec 2025 International Merchandise Exports $15.6B Down -7.4% y/y Where do you see this massive wealth with $40 oil on it's way? Danielle states every 1 dollar the oil goes down equals a Billon dollar deficit. Rath uses $90 per barrel for his insane figures. 2025 prices averaged in high 60's. In the mid 50's now, and almost every oil agency in the world states it will settle around $40. If you add 20 or $30 billion more debt to Alberta's deficit per year, Alberta will die a very fast death. Add on a one trillion dollar loan, and the other costs to pay out Canada. Then add on all the new federal costs Alberta will have to assume. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year. Can you explain to me where all this massive wealth that Rath and Wilson preach? Of course there are many other issues like business/jobs leaving. Equalization payments are not really and issue as oil plummets, especially with no LNG Equalization is based on high earnings, as Albertans make more money than everywhere else. If there are no jobs, Alberta may again start to get payments back even. Trump thinks Alberta oil will be good for USA reserves so he can just shut that down for 100 years, so what will that do to Alberta jobs , and deficit. If you ask people how they feel about Rath and Wilson begging for a trillion dollar loan...secured by Alberta's resources... "just to get started" , I wonder what they will say. She thinks Ai will save Alberta LOL AI needs massive cheap energy, and an up to date power grid.. Not strong points for Alberta with an ancient power grid. Ai also produces no jobs. Given the shape of Alberta, thanks to Danielle, I don't think equalization payments will be an issue, going forward. With $40 oil on it's way, Alberta may start getting payments. LNG will be over as BC/Canada will never let Alberta use it's plants, ports, and infrastructure to compete with themselves. If Canada does let a a new Alberta use it's existing pipelines, of course they will not subsidize them any more. They will expect to make a profit from them. So let's say they add on $5.00 more per barrel. Using Danielle's math that would add another $5 Billion annually to Alberta's skyrocketing debt every year.

why the hell would any Canadian go to america. trump is now and has always been a fraud and a con artist.a total waste of space, america of a year ago is gone for ever all that remains now is how fast will they sink.

I try to understand the mind set of the Democrats , I truly try.\nWhat is it they believe? Why do Democrats support the perversion of sexuality? Why do Democrats support the ending of the unborn? Why do Democrats support war? Why do Democrats support wasting the hard earned money of American citizens on foreigners? Why do Democrats support the stealing of American taxpayers money for personal gain? Why do Democrats believe they are the embodiment all that is good? Why do Democrats believe that President Trump is not working for the benefit of Americans? Why do Democrats believe letting criminals into America is a good thing? I could go on. Please help me understand.

Shame on you, Canada. Shame on you, Trudeau. You acted so tough but you always stay in the back, looking for protection to protect your mouth. Trump will hunt your words, you have no idea that the degree you earned while you were in college is wasted through your mouth.

The fentanyl BS from Trump is so insulting. The US wastes insane amount of time and money catching and jailing LSD, weed, and shrooms users and acts like Canada's dedicated focus on dangerous hard drugs isn't good enough. He should mind his stupid war on harmless drugs instead of attacking people tackling the truly dangerous ones

UKRAINE MUST GET INTO NATO FIRST BEFORE HE SIGN ANY DEAL.... NATO U ARE WASTING UR TIME...!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIME IS RUNNING OUT... FKING COWARDICE.. WHY ARE U NOT RECOGNISING UKRAINE... WHAT DO U THINK PUTIN WANTS UKRAINE FOR...??? IF THIS DEAL HAPPENS WITH DONALD TRUMP IS EQUIVALENT TO SURRENDERING TO PUTIN....!!!!!!!!! GET THE FACTS RIGHT DONALD TRUMP IS ALIGNED WITH PUTIN IDEOLOGY....!!!!!!!!!!!!! U ARE HANGING UKRAINE IN A VERY VULNERABLE POSITION HE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GIVE IN TO AUTOCRATS...

As much as I like the message, I just find this is a waste of time to rationalize or reasoning with the orange clown and his uneducated base, like the clown said himself that he loves his uneducated supporters. Just return the favour. That's it. You can't fix stupid. Canada just needs to find more reliable and trust worthy partners. As much as I hate to say, US government can't be trusted. \n\nHey donald, little petty man with small hands. Glad that your trump towers in Toronto and Vancouver failed. You now try to avenge but you are making dumb mistakes to let personal touchy feelings to interfere with country affairs.

We are overgoverned and overtaxed in Canada, don’t need trump to ruin our economy. Government is the king of waste, if we fall for fancy speeches now, we haven’t learned anything….

I HATE tRump SO DAMN MUCH! What a waste of life that pea brain is.

Trump is a waste man ?

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME JUSTIN TRUMP'S IQ IS TOO LOW TO UNDERSTAND HE HAS NO MORALS NO VALUES AND NO SOUL HE'S AN IDIOT

Thanks for all this wasteful nonsense Trump voters!

I’m not even American, but any American that doesn’t support Trump, is simply a brainwashed waste of space. Makes me sick.

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

I’ve said it a million times. Waste of time to even reason with Trump communists and totalitarian ideas. Just ask anyone now who is 55 years old or older and grew up in - say - Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union. These commies will tell you anything … black is white, what you see it’s not what we see, it’s just not to be reasoned with. Exactly like the Canadian PM says, just trust him! They did all they had been asked to do and now the US gov says “no, you didn’t, no it’s not enough”. It’s a communist lie. If Canada did twice as much as needed, they would have said the same, lame lies. ? Lastly, this is all from the Soviet playbook, way before Putin and it’s still their “playbook”.

He's wasting his breath. Trump supporters, JD and Trump himself, are too dimwitted. They are bullies, and all they understand is anger and fighting.\n\nIt almost seems as if Trump wants Canada and Mexico to cave by sending their economy into a recession. Basically, saying let's have a recession war and see who blinks first.\n\nCalling Trump smart is a stretch.

imagine if trump actually lives another 4 years? what will America look like? 3rd world waste land?

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

Canadians are smart enough not to waste our time seeking any reasonable discourse or mutual respect from lying welchers like Donald Jackass Trump. Same reason Zelensky won't waste his time seeking a ceasefire agreement with Vladimir Putin.

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

Who even cares what trump's 'response' is?? It'll just be more lies and propaganda, and we've heard it all before. I wouldn't waste my time. It's all about a cash-grab for him and Elon...that's what it's always all about...how can I grift money off my taxpayers and abuse my position of power for 4 years to do so. He's just a callous POS.

Trudeau is wasting his time, his statement was too complicated for Trump to understand, he should have used flash cards for Donald.

this bloke is a fool , the woke nonsense and his stand with EU in conflict with russia is foolish at best . people are very emotional in their comments , take all that away and look at the facts leading up to all this , why trump was voted in , all the government waste they are uncovering , the social engineering under the dems through USAID , i stand with trump and what he is trying to undo.

If our military insiders know that Trump is compromised by Putin, why are they not doing their duty to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic? Are they waiting for Trump to do so much damage that his approval rating reaches a specific low before acting, or are they useless to protect us? I hope it's not the latter, considering how much tax payer money has gone into the US military over the deades. Talk about waste and abuse.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste time talking to Trump, no psychiatrist can help him or those who voted for him anymore.

Respect from Australia, this is exactly what Canada should do, stand up to this bully. I don't think you should bother trying to negotiate with him, Trump is a liar and a fool and talking to him is a waste of time, he's too stupid to understand. When the US slaps you, slap them back. I sincerely hope to see Mexico respond in the same way, slap Trump back twice as hard.\n\nIf the US wants to go kissing Putins ass, go on, but don't try to force the rest of us to kiss his ass with you.\nIf the US wants to find savings in government #DefundElonMusk a filthy rich man receiving government aid, he's sucked up $38 billion, that's government waste in the extreme.

Don't waste your breath on trump. He's a Russian asset. Full stop.

The trade war that's nothing to do with Rusia war, the trade war is related with your incompetent roll letting drugs pouring by the border from China period and the Rusia war it's because with not gonna be supporting the war that you and Europe wants with our MONEY. Two different topics, we don't need your stuff and your country will lose more than us and your crying is just a because you don't want be traded with 25 %. You are talking to the minority of the American people because the majority voted Trump so your speech it's a wasting time for me

We have a president who cares abour the economic state of our country and the morale of its blue collar worker. Our country has been ripped off by people abroad and internally. This is pressure on all governments we do business with for equal trade. We are forcing countries to become more self reliant. Each country needs to become the greatest version of itself unfettered by people dictating laws that enrich themselves at the behest of its citizens. We elected trump to tear down the old, fix the waste, weed out the greedy players taht dish out our money and get kickbacks. Thats all. America is about to become super self reliant and bring back an early 1900s boom. We can no longer be the piggy bank of the world.

And now that trump has done this, let’s stop wasting money on American borders and the damned yankes take care of themselfs and they own border

ELON MUSK AND DONALD TRUMP ARE THE WASTE , FRAUD AND ABUSE WE NEED TO GET RID OF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a 1.3 billion dollar waste of money for extra border security. We did this to appease the unappeasable. He never intended to stop the tariffs, he just wanted us to spend out money. He's trying to bankrupt Canada. STOP SPENDING OUR MONEY ON TRUMPS DESIGNS. Remember WE the public are paying for this, THEY (our governments/the Upper Class) are benefiting. As Trump crashes the markets, who do you think is buying it up, think about it.

To the world. - I am an American citizen and I am ashamed to be one. I do not support trump. I did not vote for him. I hate him. He is a waste of breath. I am sorry about everything our government is doing. I don’t want this and I don’t want him in charge. I stand with Canada.

Trump is the waste (of time, space, and humanity), the fraud (on MAGA, and voters), and the abuse (of women, patience, tolerance, kindness, and the Constitution.)

Trump is far from a genius. Ukraine president doesn’t want to see his people suffer anymore from a ruthless piece of garbage that invaded his country. Trump and Vance were an embarrassment to our country, low life’s . Then afterwards one goes and plays golf and the other one goes skiing talk about wasteful gov spending and you people are worried about the money we give to our allies just think about how much we spend on security for Trump and his family and his cabinet at the end of the year it will astonishing. It’s not like we will see any of this money he supposedly is making from these deals only he will see it and his rich friends !!

From Australia. Wasting your time Canada. The US don't care anymore. Their boy Trump is what they want. Got him in twice. Have to go with the will of the people.

They use Fentanyl, DEI, Woke, immigrants, Gov't waste, as a key word to justify the tearing down. Trump can lie to the uneducated that he loves, the racist and the greedy, but other Countries will check him. The Skipper and Gilligan is on this super hero movie villain tip.

Can someone in the US at least teach that idiot Trump this VERY SIMPLE lesson?\n\n\nIf you want to improve linearly, compete!\nIf you want to improve exponentially, collaborate!\n\nBut it's hard to say whether an idiot who has only managed to do one thing in his entire life: waste his father's money, will understand this.

I think your wasting your time Trudeau , Americans are thick as bricks, after all the majority voted for trump, says alot

Speaking into the cameras direct to trump is a waste of time I’m afraid , trump is sitting in front of his burner phone waiting for the love of his life to call and tell him he did good and receive his next instructions .

We Canadian stand with the American people, and President Trump CARES AND PUT AMERICA INTEREST FIRST UNLIKE OUR DUMB PM TRUDEAU WHO IS STEPPED DOWN BECAUSE WE CANADIAN ARE TIRED OF HIS WOKE AGENDA AND WHOREMONGER SUPPORTING THE ONGOING WAR IN UKRAINE WASTING OUR TAX PAYRES MONEY AND THERE ARE LOT OF HOMELESS CANADIANS, FAMILIES WHO BARELY GET BY. TRUDEAU DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CANADIAN WE KNOWS THIS TO BE FACT BY HIS ACTION AND HOW HE RUN OUR PROSPEROUS COUNTRY INTO DEBT.

Drama teacher is always drama teacher. Trump can place tariffs at any time. Canada must stop rely on USA for everything. Grow up! Yes, we need to reply with the tariffs as well, but stop making your drama as usual. Trudeau, go away and let Poilievre negotiate a deal with Trump. Stop wasting the Canadian taxpayers money and pretend you care. Trump is not a Russian friend. He is keeping us away from the 3rd world war. The war in Ukraine must to stop.

Trudeau is wasting his time. There are millions of Americans who support Canada and Trudeau does not need to explain anything to them. The rest of the Americans are the idiots who support Trump and they will never change their minds no matter how much they get hurt by tariffs.

Mr. Trudeau, don't waste your time to talk to Trump. Trump is that stupid thug who never makes sophisticated thoughts. Trump is playing some PC game, and people are of no worth for him. Neither american, nor any others. Trump is pathetic liar, who will keep doing stupid things. Presedency is just a game for that thug to have some fun in his otherwise senseless life.

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

Thank you Homan and Trump along with ICE and the Border Patrol. The Democrats are aiding and abetting the criminal element. They also don't want the population from finding out all those billions of waste money and complain because they have been using agencies like USAID to enrich themselves.

WAKE UP AND MAN-UP AMERICA! \nProtest don't just happen; they are planned, funded, and organized. These few protests are organized by the NEO-MARXIST COMMUNISTS (including 78 democrats, who are members of the Communist party of the US). \n \nThese communist democrats are an absolute threat to our constitution and nation, their agenda is to dismantle our republic, and constitution and replace it with a socialist system! History has shown that socialism does NOT work. Where there is socialism there is CENSORSHIP, corruption, poverty, totalitarianism, and torture. \n \nThe communist democrats, in their arrogance think they know what is better for the people. We, the real WORKING-CLASS American’s have not been on the streets, we are too busy putting bread on the table. However, our patience is wearing thin with the Marxist democrats, their lies, and their woke agenda! \n \nWhat the democrats have been doing with tax payers’ money is more sinister than “waste, fraud, and abuse.” THE Neo-Marxist (COMMUNIST) DEMOCRATS were using this extensive bureaucracy (aka “independent agencies”) to backdoor our constitution by implementing certain laws through certain agencies, and moving black funds through these entities to fund Marxist programs. \n \nThese agencies either need to be shut down or brought under the executive function. The communist democrats are pissed because their deliberate dismantling of our constitution was discovered, and now is being reversed. They are traitors (Bernie Sanders. AOC, Ilhan Omar, and others) who should be jailed, now. \n \nAnyone who does not believe in the constitution of the USA; leave our country and leave now! When we the people hit the streets, it will be in the tens of thousands. And we will roll over the neo-Marxist wokers like a tsunami. Socialism will never happen in the USA; socialism will never replace our constitution. WE LOVE TRUMP! He is a PATRIOT! \nMAN-UP America.

Thank you Trump and all the Trump Voters!! WE DID IT!!!!! We took dirt for 4 years of crime and waste of our tax earned dollars!! SHAME on the Democrats and Radicals, they do not believe in the Rule of Law that our County stands for!

Love to see,Bye Bye\n\nIn just 1 Month Trump had already given me Everything I voted for,the 1st time I ever felt like my vote mattered.the Government finally being Audited.\n\nbut I can’t believe Democrats and Democrats voter are Mad about Exposing Waste and Corruption,just because it’s Trump exposing it,Democrats had time after time to do good.but now I understand why with the USAID corruption exposed

Perfectly right.... when you break the laws don't expect to be treated like kings..... and yes I'm pretty much Indian...... These guys are lucky.... Trump should send them back the way they came without anything on them instead of wasting fuel and american taxpayer money on their flights...... if they could dish out 50K USD to get there illegally.... they surely can find their way back and pay up.... or then keep them all in Guantanamo until they don't pay for their own airfare back. The people protesting in India are mostly the opposition who hates trump... the bunch that was financed by soros. It needs to be drummed into their thick skulls that they are criminals... not patriots.... that's why they will be treated like criminals.
