Less than two months this is chaotic. Tdumps Presidency is going to be 4 yrs of chaos. If you think his first term was chaotic in the way his administration handled the Covid-19 epidemic even when he initiated increase on tariffs with imports on aluminum and Steel. Canada answered. Americans seem to conveniently forget the job losses in the states due to Trump's tarriffs during his 1st term. They voted him in based on the inflation of prices and immigration. But the prices are still high and will go higher
Critiques Trump's tariff policies and governance chaos, citing economic consequences (job losses, inflation) from historical precedent.

Marriages of convenience was rampant before Harper destroying young Canadians' lives. Fake refugees would swoon naive girls into marriage saddling them with parental and financial responsibilities that they couldn't handle all with the blessing of the Liberal government. America gave these cases ten years to see if they would leave where as Canada gave just a few months. Just another example of Liberals putting the interests of non citizens above citizens.
Criticizes past Liberal immigration policy on marriage fraud, framing it as prioritizing non-citizens over citizens with alarmist tone.

I was called a racist every time I said those coming from the U.S. are not real refugees since the U.S. IS a safe country. JT sent out the tweet just so he could look better than Trump. He did not care about Canadians, just about how HE looked to the world. Unbelievable.
Criticism of government refugee policy as performative and self-serving rather than genuinely humanitarian.

Make That Make Sense. Here you go Trudeau. . If US aligns with Ukrain, as very very sad as this situation is, Trump would be declaring opposition with Russia. Then China aligns with Russia. Then WW3 starts on North American soil. Did Trump word everything right? Absolutely NOT. NOPE. However… I don’t want a war either. Trump should have just stayed out of it. \n\nLastly Trudeau you liar. You said “no one wins in a trade war…”. Yet you respond to tariffs with tariffs. You just started a trade war!!!! \n\nHow’s that for making sense enough for you!!
Detailed critique of both Trump's and Trudeau's policy decisions regarding tariffs and geopolitical strategy, with analysis of consequences.

We let in too many unvetted criminals, because we tried to be too nice. Bad people take advantage of that.... Time to restrict unvetted refugees and immigrants, and time to throw out every criminal without a citizenship. Those, we'll jail ourselves... PS: We DO need immigrants because of our low birthrate (it's negative), and our aging population... BUT, we need to check CHARACTER first. Not colour, just CHARACTER!!!
Argues for stricter vetting and deportation of criminals while acknowledging Canada's demographic need for immigration, emphasizing character over ethnicity.

Mr.Trudeau, you are not reasonable and polite at any point. You dropped the ball with Trump and the world. Your immigration, housing and inflation situation is worse.
