Discourse Analysis

Is it just me that feels that both the youtuber and the commenters are being passively racist

So many Indians in the UK, the right wingers paint them as "Muslim" to get people angry. Too the uneducated brown people= Muslim

It seems like Trump is trying to suffocate Canada economically and forcing them to be the 51st state this is the only reason I feel like he would do this.... truly sad for the Canadian people sorry that my country is doing this to you

Both Trudeau and Zelensky openly state that Trump's actions will lead to poverty in the USA and weaken the country so much on the international stage that no one will want to cooperate with the US anymore, fearing that when the day of trial comes, the US will betray them—just as Trump did! Unlike Trump, Europe did not betray the USA on its day of trial when NATO's Article 5 was invoked to help the US fight ISIS. Europe sent its soldiers, who died for the USA. And today, Trump claims that this does not matter, that he does not recognize Europe because it supposedly took advantage of him. So I ask, who took advantage of whom? Because so far, I see a deceitful man doing everything that terrorist Putin wants. God, protect America so that its children do not have to fight for freedom, as Ukraine is doing today in defense of American ideals—which, for Trump, mean as much as toilet paper in his golden toilets...

So the white guy on the bike thinks Africans have low IQ 😂..for guys who debate on what a woman is ? ..Africa is a continent with many countries grouping all Africans just because of some misbehaving says a lot about his IQ.. Jeffrey Epstein is a white guy ..should i say all white people are human traffickers and pedophiles ?

That white guy on a bike is so ignorant. "Africans cannot even operate a cashier..." Really? I guess they import all their pilots, doctors, engineers, nurses, etc... Also, Africa is 54 countries, and in each country you could literally find numerous cultures and languages. Even within the same culture or family, two people aren't alike. This is why I watch YouTube videos that showcase Africa, because ignorance exists and has real-world consequences. Imagine that guy in HR, he'll obviously deny you a job if he learns that you're from Africa because he believes you're not intelligent.

Canada has always been an immigration and political sh*t show from inception, only now reality is catching up and showing its true colors. Go ask the First Nations what they think of "real Canadians" complaining about immigration and cultural genocide. It's game over and well deserved, sorry to say that baby boomers who took took took and gave nothing back.

He realizes that it's Trump not America

so you guys have problem with everyone other than christians, google how many churches are being funded and numbers of them in India. And a single hanuman or sikh temple bothers you

The Republicans have betrayed more than our old friends and allies with this astonishing attack on Canada, coming on the heels of Trump's performative assault on Ukrainian sovereignty. They've betrayed our constitutional republic, common sense, simple human decency, our core institutions, our people. The best of what we have ever been or hoped to be as a nation has been jettisoned to privilege the worst, including the South African billionaire who is currently dismantling Social Security, and the Russian tyrant who has hungered for years to kill NATO and the Western alliance, an outcome the Republicans are now handing him on a silver platter.

They are not gonna loot 45 trillion dollars and not returned back unlike certain people. They are not gonna kill 200 million people. Your forefathers should have known about this

as if Indians don't face enough racism already, here comes the blatantly racist titled video and probably even more more racist undertones and rhetoric

Now that's a leader.Well done sir spoken like a true statesman who is loyal to his country and allies.

This is same thing the natives were saying when the Europeans came with weapons.

The white can colonize other places, of course, other people can also move to western countries.

Trump is a first class bully, Canada won’t tolerate his nonsense. Very poor move for Trump and his team to make.

So all you folks who voted for trump I ask you are we great again yet man how could we have messed this up y'all knew y'all knew who you were voting for and still you did it anyway SHAME ON Y'ALL

So let me get this straight us Americans don't have the right to change the tariffs and what kills me is that when it affects you now you complain about it and that it's not fair. So what it says is that you knew it's always not been fair but you've never cared but now it affects you that's why you're complaining.

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

i know most of us aren’t fans of trudeau, but he handled this well and spoke perfectly.
