Neither was tRump. Don't let popularity or not blind the Canadian people like it did with so many here. Doug Ford is pushing same agenda as MAGA did here with tRump. Please...Canada, STAND UP before it's too late. Stand Strong. I stand with you!
From Australia. Canada is not prepared to appease or tolerate Donald's arrogance, ignorance and vulgarity. Other nations are doing the same. Their actions are to be applauded.
I love Canada. I grew up in Michigan and we had adopted a lot of Canadian things that I became so familiar with. I live across the lake now and there's no Tim Horton's 😭
As a Canadian, his tariffs will be devastating for our economy. That said, I'm retaliating by not buying anything from the USA. I won't travel to the States. I'm boycotting anything American. I'll buy a Japanese car and I'll buy Mexican fruits.
😅😂😊 you think we need Canada? That's hilarious.... All Trump said was stop sending drugs, immigrants and trade imbalance. 75% of your exports come to America and we don't need you Better get in line at the welfare office
As a fellow Canadian who has family in America and my Grandma and aunt is buried there, I will never step a toe over the boarder or buy anything from or made from there, maybe we should build the walls and have America pay for it to keep out the criminals and bad guys cause they're sending their criminals and such, since MAGA was screaming about invading Canada, as if we wouldn't go full force with them
Thank you for your moral stand. As a transgender American, I am glad you have chosen not to fund a government that has essentially become a nation-spanning hate group. A lot of people will suffer if our economy collapses, but countless more will be saved.

I'm a Canadian and I gotta say, congrats Ben for actually covering Canadian politics accurately!!! The fact that you even go down to the provincial level is quite remarkable and shows your devotion to providing in depth and factual news. Great job MeidasTouch!
1000%! Ben is clearer about the Canadian picture in the first 2 minutes of this video than most Canadian journalists have been. His untainted assessment is a breath of fresh air.
I am a Canadian and you reported more accurately than most of our news outlets. I may not like Doug Ford’s politics, but as Canadian I see our politician banning together to do what is needed.
Charlie Angus's speech brings tears to my eyes as a Canadian. I'm so proud of our Canadian values and Trump calling us the 51st state is such an insult and afront to what makes Canada awesome. Fun fact, Charlie Angus was in a punk band and is an artist and musician. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 The true North strong and free. Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee.
The speech by Angus was good but it was two fold. He also railed against the Conservatives saying bad things about Polievre. Angus is a member of a party that supports the Liberal party which is currently destroying Canada. The Liberal leader is weak and will be defeated at the next election according to public opinion.
Canada here. Thank you, Ben, and the MEIDASTOUCH for your great reporting. You have a lot of Canadians that watch your podcast. Tank you for standing with Canadians in fighting against Trump. TOGETHER WE STAND.
I’m Canadian, in my fifties and live an hour from the USA border. I personally know dozens of people who are done with traveling to the USA for the foreseeable future. This includes snowbirds, cross border shoppers, ski trips and weekend getaways as well as young families who are changing future trips to Disney Florida and looking at euro Disney instead.
First thing I told my husband is, we won't be going to the US for the time they are in power. We usually go each summer, but we will be staying in our own backyard for now.
The reason we have Universal Healthcare here in Canada is because of a Scottish-born Canadian politician named Tommy Douglas. Mr. Douglas was a member of the New Democratic Party (mentioned multiple times in this video) - and has been voted #1 Canadian of all times. In this day and age of greedy health insurance corporations - the world needs more Tommy Douglas-es and Aneurin Bevan-s (the Welsh Labour Party politician who created the British National Health Service). And, here's a fun fact for all our friends south of the border - Tommy Douglas is Kiefer Sutherland's grandfather.
@BenMeiselas deserves to be recognized as an Honorary Canadian. Thank you, Ben, for standing up and advocating for us. As Canadians, we understand there are thoughtful, progressive Americans, and we don’t hold you accountable for Trump and MAGA.
Blue State Californian here. We love you, Canada. Please don't blame all of us. Half of us tried, we really tried, God knows we did. Sadly, nearly half of us wasn't enough to win. We are heartbroken and horrified.
Proud Canadian here...all I can say don't mess with Canada. We may look sedate but if challenged, Canada will stand up to anything. Canadians will not tolerate bullies!
@MrMick50 we don't need Canada America First... Go ahead and force us to become independent, that's what we want and happy to pay extra. We are Winning, Canada, Not so much
when my Sister comes down to visit from Canada, I want to go back with her...I'm so embarrassed being an American at this time...trump is making our Country into to the most dangerous circus on earth..Self destroying us..
I apologize for the US voters Canada. They have succumbed to a cult leader who has zero qualifications or moral character to be anywhere near the White House. Please, continue the absolute and hard line push back on this abomination. Two thumbs up for Canada.
@@derrickgreen8877 All Trump asked you to do, is stop sending drugs Immigrants and balance trade. If you can't do that, you will loose. Our own government couldn't destroy Trump. Better get in line or you'll be in the welfare office
I’m a vet and so proudly was asked to be on our NATO team. I served with Canadians all over Europe. They are some of the best for sure human beings. I’m proud of our Canadian allies for standing up to that ridiculous loser.
This is why Canada shouldn't be too worried. USA is a NATO member (at present) so they can't invade Canada. If they leave NATO and then try to invade Canada, every NATO member will happily and proudly join with Canada to defend them against the orange nut job. He is so desperate to be just like Putin, not realising that Putin is not respected around the globe and is not respected but reviled, that I wouldn't put anything past Trump. He's a fucking moron who is allowing Putin to completely brainwash and control him.
From Australia Canada we stand with you! Our commonwealth cousins. Canadians are known for being polite and friendly. They are the quiet friend you dont want to rile. behind that kindness is strength that is unwavering. We stand with our long time allies. the american ppl. We stand against bullies and fascism. ❤️
Trump thinks he's offending Trudeau with those memes and jokes... Instead he is offending every citizen of Canada and uniting all parties (which is really hard to do). If his Tariff methods are meant as a negotiation tactic, he is undoing it all with these jokes. We are preparing to weather this needless storm and inflict maximum pain of inflation and energy instability to American consumers. This is what you voted for and want... They need to feel the consequences. Enjoy the results. Again... All of this was completely unnecessary.
Not all of us voted for the Mango Mussolini. His actions are going to tremendously hurt the business owners and consumers. We understand and stand with Canada. 🇨🇦 🇺🇲
Well, as a US citizen, I certainly didn't vote for Trump. However, perhaps pain of inflation and energy instability inflicted on the US by Canada is needed. Trump must be stopped.
@@organic3280 Thanks. Just to be clear. I doubt many people are against the American people. We've been neighbours and friends since almost forever. It's also important to respect democracy and if the people of America want this kind of leadership. That's great, but we here in Canada, we didn't get to vote for this... Unfortunately a good portion don't understand that there are consequences for needlessly poking bears. As you said, I think it's good for America to get a little stung so that those that voted for this wakeup. It's going to hurt for everyone, but if gas and food quadruples in price on day 1, If there is not enough energy to heat homes on cold January days, and it's all clearly attributed to Trump, it may be worth it to everyone in the long run.
@@darpompie4354I totally agree with you! And I've even said that America will need to learn a hard lesson so it never happens again even though I will be hurt in the process! 🇺🇸
From a Canadian, you are absolutely correct, he is offending all of us. He and his family sicken me, and barron is nothing more but an apple from the same rotten tree. My lack of cap on the kids name is intentional showing lack of respect.
I'm Canadian too. I'm no fan of the Trudeau liberals... But I am not a conservative. I worry that Polliviere would just go with trump. Unfortunately, there is no government here that aligns with my ideals. I think NDP is probably the closest, but I don't like their leadership. (I'm an Albertan and I do NOT align with Danielle Smiths ideals)
@crooker2 fellow Albertan here and agree! I think pp would be terrible for our country! When they call the next election, I'll be voting NDP again. As for Danielle Smith, let's just say that I have been against her and the UCP for a long time and feels she's destroying our province (esp. AHS). She should just go live in the US, as she already thinks she's a citizen and wants to be American so damn badly!!!
As a Canadian, I appreciate you covering the Canadian perspective. Since Jagmeet Singh’s speech, our PM has held a “Team Canada” meeting with all premiers to discuss responses to Trump.
As a Canadian, I love what you are doing...thank you. You are articulating our situation and view really well. Great coverage of Charlie Angus, Jagmeet Singh, Doug Ford and our PRIME MINISTER, Justin Trudeau. In the words of his father to those who are saying he won't do anything and is weak, Justin needs to say, "Just Watch Me!". And thankyou Justin. Also so much appreciation of all of the Americans here who are thoughtful, knowledgeable and considerate.
As a Canadian, I consider you the United States my brother. I’ve been watching since 2016 and am horrified that this sexual predator and convicted criminal con man is still in your government. He should be in jail. No way are we the Canadian’s going to let this little man threaten us. We fight back. You, my brother, need to do the same. The people are the bosses. Not the politicians. They work for us. Don’t let this man sell out your country. Fight for your country people 🇨🇦💙
Lynneblais4760.56 I'm here is the usa and agree with u 200 percent. Canada Mexico and UK needs to set a meeting with the democrat governor s and the republican that r feed up with trumps crimal bullshit including Elon musk and china u need to get together and stop Trump in anyway it takes.

Awesome reporting Ben! I’m from Calgary, Alberta and have been a Meidas Touch (and Legal AF, etc) follower for some years now. I used to exclusively watch CNN but now almost always watch your network. Keep up the great work fighting for democracy!! Andy
As former PR of Canada 🇨🇦 I know that mocking Canadian officials is mocking Canada. Canadians will not accept it. Canadians are patient and kind, but hell will lose if they are mad.
I‘m German and I wished that we Germans had the same reaction, when he was mocking our former chancellor Angela Merkel and didn’t shake her hand like a good leader of a country should. Even if you don’t like it, you‘re representing a country. So we Germans thought: „Oh, watch this. Americans are to arrogant to shake hands.“
Can you blame people with a very low education level? Yes you can, but is it the right thing to do, i don't think so. Greedy egocentric capitalists with zero emphathy? Yes, blame them. Because it's not all about the benjamins America
The shame that man has brought upon us is tremendous. How could our allies ever trust us again when I, a citizen, don't trust us? I stand with Canada and Mexico.
@@mudsharkjones You're overgeneralising. Most Canadians love America. Lot's of people in Canada call Americans dumb, but that's because those people in Canada are dumb. I'm not even angry at the Americans that voted Trump--except for the white supremacist/neo-nazi/christian nationalists. Everyone else that voted Trump did so because they were misled by propaganda. In my opinion. Canada still loves and respects America.
As a proud Canadian from Nova Scotia, I want to thank you for your channel and express my gratitude to everyone for the positive comments below, especially those from people in the United States.
Also there is alot of pepe here that have faith and values and truth on their side that didn t vote for trump ,yet we have to have the backlash in our own homes . Our lives will be hard and we need to not discount what we can do to protect each other. Fill our coffers with food and reach out to the elderly for a shoulder and use their wisdom. We will need to be together for support . During Covid we were separated by disease but now we can reach out and be strong . Know your neighborhood. And protect what needs to be so. Feed those that will need ,like street people fill the church food banks a d please don't forget our pets and feriles. You all know what to do to survive
Greed like Jagmeet pimping out Canada for his pension? Greed like Trudeau amassing a $30M fortune in 4 years? For Gods sake open your eyes to the greed and corruption in your own country.
Don’t let him into your country. He is a convicted felon. Also, he will start selling Trump Maple syrup if you let him. It will be $100.00 an ounce and MAGA idiots will buy it.
Trudeau could literally save his career by playing this correctly. Canadians have been increasingly disillusioned by his leadership but we'll all band together behind him against a bully.
As with most politicians around the world (except in the cases of Trump, Putin, et al.), it's always a case of "he/she could be worse." Trudeau is sub-par. But Canadians thinking of voting for that nasty piece of work Poilievre better do their homework and check out his policies on the environment, health care, dental care, and child care. Frying pan and fire. Don't be as ridiculously stupid as Murkins.
The best thing for Trudeau was having Trump win election, for Pierre this was the worst thing that could happen. Conservative leader being best buddies with Trumps right hand, will give Trudeau and liberals another election win
Alberta here,no,I will not stand behind your leader,in fact,I believe Trump is doing this to hasten the demise of JT and I hope it works,seal the border, take care of our patriotic veterans and seniors and watch this problem go away.
I’ve been looking for ways to get out of the U.S. for the next four years (or longer if need be). I didn’t vote for this Dictator and we have to suffer b/c of the people that did.
If you plan on immigrating to Canada, please check the process. It can be a long, difficult and frustrating one. Obviously, we would be happy to accept any peaceful and hard working people.
I'm American and I stand with Canada! You cannot reason with a narcissistic bully; the only way to defeat one is to stand up and stand strong! Way to go trump supporters, y'all done FA'd and unfortunately we are all going to have to suffer the FO. 🇨🇦
Thank you for covering us.I hope you continue to cover our politics here, and in Mexico. I feel like it's important for all three of our North American countries to be covered by trusted news sources. We're truly in uncertain times.
The House of Commons speech and commentary was a great piece of journalism. Canadians are definitely rallying around the campfire against Trump. I love it!
Ben, as a CANADIAN, I'm thankful for your channel. I wish we had reporters here, with your crew's integrity. new subscriber, loyal follower. keep up the great work
@@RickBeowning i’m a Canadian too Rick. Our Canadian news is so superficial that we really don’t know what’s going on and if you watch CPAC you just get frustrated and annoyed with all the baby crap that goes on in there. I watch Midas touch, and I’ve recently tuned into Steve boots. One of the few Canadian podcasts that’s not too bad. I don’t agree with everything he puts out, but at least he is informing us of what is going on.
I still haven't heard anything distinct from Poilièvre in regards to the U.S. dictator and his arrogance towards Canada. The next election will be decisive to see if Canadians are standing together or not. The proof will be in the pudding I guess and personally, I hope Poilièvre won't be the one in the kitchen preparing it because he will just hand over the nation without a second thought and will even do it with glee if the U.S. confirms him as the "northern governor for life".
Well, I don't think Pierre Poilievre is that supportive. As Angus said, PP loves it when Trump insults our PM, but he doesn't realize it's all of us he's insulting.
Thanks Ben I have to post this for all the people who vote for the conservative party . Charlie did good. Hopefully we stay strong and fight for our daily freedom . We need a Midas touch here.
He only and always talked about himself, not the people. And that's exactly what I thought every time he repeated that poem. I feel confident that the majority of Americans do not like his insulting of our Canada - including many, many of his own voters. The scales will fall from their eyes.
@@ShaneFpgelsanger Canada's economy is at risk but so is the American one. I have this feeling that if tRump pushes too much and too far, the world will turn its back on the U.S. and totally isolate it economically and diplomatically. If Americans believe that they could stand on their own without the world to back up their consuming frenzy habits, good luck with that!!!
Trump has done something that has never happened in Canadian history. ALL Canadians are united in their contempt for Trump. We are ready for some tough times and won't be bullied by an orange buffoon.

Half of Americans have contempt for Trump as well. I voted for HER!
This was a great show. I’m Canadian. We all sent up a prayer for Kamala, hoping she’d win over Trump. I’m proud our country for standing up against Trump. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Nobody has talked about the fact that guns and other thing have been crossing the boarder from the US into Canada for years. Not to mention that the illegal immigrant problem is from the US into Canada! Not the other way around.
Then be sure Not to vote conservatives this time. Their leader is an elitist and a Trump wannabe. His goal is to help the rich and big business. Not you and me.
Hmm..Mr. PeePee Pollieve has been using Make Canada Great Again statements and is as right wing as MAGA..their response will be interesting. Can’t stand Trump and his stupidity and arrogance. And can’t stand his Wannabee clone PeePee. Good seeing Ford at least standing up now, better late than never.
@@JosephMarkese-tx1kb Thankfully, we've never been in bad shape. Having MAGA conservatives on 'our' side isn't exactly a win. We want them to leave Canada and let real conservatives come back.
If I did not have grandchildren in this country, I would move out of the US! I am embarrassed that we have elect this idiot. Proud of Canada to standing up to this bully.
U r so rite he is an idiot plus I'm embarrassed to having an idiot back in office he just need go to jail n stay there with his minions to they don't have any brain to can't ran this country rite
We are not standing up to him- Trump. We are dancing to his tune. Canadian news media is as well. What Canada should be doing is looking for new and better trading partners rather than trying to placate the one that uses and manipulates and obfuscates- calling these tactics negotiation. I would not put it past the American government to drop the THE PRESIDENT ELECT'S GREAT TARRIFF MATTER by saying it was "a test" run.
I have no kids and I’d like to move, but I’ve lived in two different countries and the grass isn’t always greener. Where would you go if you could? Just wondering.
Wow! As a Canadian, I've never seen this level of coverage for our politics from an American network! Regrettably, we have our own buffoon on the federal level, Pierre Poliverre who apparently has grabbed on to Trump's coattails and is peddling a lot of right wing lunacy and has some growing support. Justin Trudeau is nearly completed his third term in power (no limitation on terms up here) and has dropped in popularity given the amount of baggage he and the liberal party have accumulated since 2015. No Canadian PM has ever been elected to 4 straight terms (although I believe one achieved four terms in total back in the early 20th century) and that could be a problem as the conservative party is the only other likely party to win should Trudeau be voted out. The NDP (a more left leaning party than the left leaning liberal party) has never won a federal election in their 60 year history and is not likely to be a viable alternative to Trudeau and stop the radicalizing conservatives. I'm not really a Trudeau fan but Canada must vote him back into power for that fourth term. Poliverre, much like the new premiere (governor equivalent) of Alberta, are going to suck up to Trump in hopes of currying favour with Trump, possibly in the form of relaxing tariffs applied to Canadian oil exports, for which 75% or more come from Alberta alone. Letting Polivierre into power would create a menacing link between Canada and the US which favours nobody but the rich. Canadians are smart people by and large. For God sake I hope they have learned what happens when people ignore the threat of voting lunatics into power! Canada loves Meidas Touch!! Keep up the great work!
Exactly my thoughts on Pierre and why we can't afford to let him win. People need to vote strategically... make sure NDP gets enough seats. I can't stand Pierre 🤮
@BKT42 Absolutely after revolutionary war we decided to try to free Canada from England, and they kicked us back over the border, lol..Don't make Canada mad
I'm a 74 yr old Female Canadian. I only saw the Commonwealth Speech by Charlie MP, on Ben's video. Thank you Ben. I immediately sent a congratulatory memo to Mr. Angus, thanking him for standing up to the bullying by Trump. I made sure to tell him where I saw it and the host's name and identified the network. He should be very grateful for your comments and your backing of Canada. I hope he takes time to express his gratitude. Be well Ben and thank you again. Ruth A Proud Canadian
@ruthvilleneuve8319 Ruth, I am your American Boomer counterpart. We are all in this fight together. MT is one of the best Independent Media Networks. Canada is not alone. Peace.
They are 50% Chinese parts. There will be selective tarrifs if anything.Trump is full of BS. He just wants to have the noise so people think he has been effective. Drill baby, drill??? There is an over supply of oil. How did this guy get a Economics degree?
As a proud Canadian who has friends and family in the USA , I know its the leaders not the people but on the other hand to the bullies at the top , you may discount us as your weak nice neighbours but never underestimate our resolve.
You get the government you elect or sat at home for and let others elect. Thanks to the democrats in America that did their bit and voted for decency from Australia.
Its totally the people. Who pays for their government? It's the people that elect them. It's the people that allow others to rule over them. Thats what democracy is. I'm sorry but if we ever get a dictator, I won't be sitting home on my hands doing nothing.
So proud of you prime minister Justin Trudeau so eloquent and well spoken nothing trump could ever dream to be God bless you 🙏 prime minister Justin Trudeau ❤
Kick ass Canada! I'm an American and I support Canada 100% We are so lucky to have to have Canada as a neighbor. Thank you for being a special country.
If you wondered why PM Trudeau went to Mara-Lago, it is because felons are allowed in Canada. Sentence or not doesn't matter, it isn't unknown and ignored, he isn't Joe Smoo trying to access Canada, by not saying he is pending sentence.
See how the women (Tish, Fani, Claudia) do NOT back down to Trump, but the Republican/Conservative men that can make a positive change seem to have lost their balls.
Canadian here from Québec. I've been watching Meidas, BTC, LegalAF and such since that fateful day in 2016. I love all of your work and almost completely lost track of local politics. I read about your intention to go international and applaud it. Here in Canada, we unfortunately have incompetent conservatives sort of like a GOP before magats took it over. I'm not saying the Liberal party is much better but they're not batshit nuts like the conservatives. A Meidas network here would definitly benefit our citizens and those of other countries in this crazy world! Thanks a million for your reporting!
It is ridiculous that you even have to say this and you have to deal with this. Unfortunately, we have a large group of people that don't use their critical thinking skills and we here in America will all suffer because of this. I am sorry that our suffering is flowing over the borders to your country.
We Canadians will stand together and support the businesses that will be effective. Buy Canadian, eh!!!

Now he is the lame duck. Well done Canada 🍁. We know trump now. Trump and his lunatic fringe will pull America into the broken states of America. MAGA wake up and smell the s..t. 💙🍁

Yep, same here. Decided to go elsewhere for 4 years. Was going to Florida 2 to 3 times a year and spend on restaurants and gifts.
First thing I told my husband is, we won't be going to the US for the time they are in power. We usually go each summer, but we will be staying in our own backyard for now.
Canceled my Myrtle beach vacation after the election! Will not spend a time there. Taking my Canadian money to Europe.

The reason we have Universal Healthcare here in Canada is because of a Scottish-born Canadian politician named Tommy Douglas. Mr. Douglas was a member of the New Democratic Party (mentioned multiple times in this video) - and has been voted #1 Canadian of all times.
In this day and age of greedy health insurance corporations - the world needs more Tommy Douglas-es and Aneurin Bevan-s (the Welsh Labour Party politician who created the British National Health Service).
And, here's a fun fact for all our friends south of the border - Tommy Douglas is Kiefer Sutherland's grandfather.
American here with many Canadian friends. Stand with Canada.
@BenMeiselas deserves to be recognized as an Honorary Canadian. Thank you, Ben, for standing up and advocating for us. As Canadians, we understand there are thoughtful, progressive Americans, and we don’t hold you accountable for Trump and MAGA.
You the best Ben

TOTALLY agreed ❤🇨🇦🍁
Blue State Californian here. We love you, Canada. Please don't blame all of us. Half of us tried, we really tried, God knows we did. Sadly, nearly half of us wasn't enough to win. We are heartbroken and horrified.

I’m a vet and so proudly was asked to be on our NATO team. I served with Canadians all over Europe. They are some of the best for sure human beings. I’m proud of our Canadian allies for standing up to that ridiculous loser.
This is why Canada shouldn't be too worried. USA is a NATO member (at present) so they can't invade Canada. If they leave NATO and then try to invade Canada, every NATO member will happily and proudly join with Canada to defend them against the orange nut job. He is so desperate to be just like Putin, not realising that Putin is not respected around the globe and is not respected but reviled, that I wouldn't put anything past Trump. He's a fucking moron who is allowing Putin to completely brainwash and control him.
That is so wonderful to hear.❤

Thank you cousin!!! It means a lot to all of us here in Canada to have our commonwealth support.
Trump thinks he's offending Trudeau with those memes and jokes... Instead he is offending every citizen of Canada and uniting all parties (which is really hard to do). If his Tariff methods are meant as a negotiation tactic, he is undoing it all with these jokes. We are preparing to weather this needless storm and inflict maximum pain of inflation and energy instability to American consumers. This is what you voted for and want... They need to feel the consequences. Enjoy the results. Again... All of this was completely unnecessary.
Not all of us voted for the Mango Mussolini. His actions are going to tremendously hurt the business owners and consumers. We understand and stand with Canada. 🇨🇦 🇺🇲
Well, as a US citizen, I certainly didn't vote for Trump. However, perhaps pain of inflation and energy instability inflicted on the US by Canada is needed. Trump must be stopped.
@@organic3280 Thanks. Just to be clear. I doubt many people are against the American people. We've been neighbours and friends since almost forever. It's also important to respect democracy and if the people of America want this kind of leadership. That's great, but we here in Canada, we didn't get to vote for this... Unfortunately a good portion don't understand that there are consequences for needlessly poking bears. As you said, I think it's good for America to get a little stung so that those that voted for this wakeup. It's going to hurt for everyone, but if gas and food quadruples in price on day 1, If there is not enough energy to heat homes on cold January days, and it's all clearly attributed to Trump, it may be worth it to everyone in the long run.
@@darpompie4354I totally agree with you! And I've even said that America will need to learn a hard lesson so it never happens again even though I will be hurt in the process! 🇺🇸
From a Canadian, you are absolutely correct, he is offending all of us. He and his family sicken me, and barron is nothing more but an apple from the same rotten tree. My lack of cap on the kids name is intentional showing lack of respect.

As for Danielle Smith, let's just say that I have been against her and the UCP for a long time and feels she's destroying our province (esp. AHS). She should just go live in the US, as she already thinks she's a citizen and wants to be American so damn badly!!!

Trudeau could literally save his career by playing this correctly. Canadians have been increasingly disillusioned by his leadership but we'll all band together behind him against a bully.
As with most politicians around the world (except in the cases of Trump, Putin, et al.), it's always a case of "he/she could be worse." Trudeau is sub-par. But Canadians thinking of voting for that nasty piece of work Poilievre better do their homework and check out his policies on the environment, health care, dental care, and child care.

As a Canadian, I am Proud of how all of our political parties have banded together to stop this want to be dictator.
I still haven't heard anything distinct from Poilièvre in regards to the U.S. dictator and his arrogance towards Canada. The next election will be decisive to see if Canadians are standing together or not. The proof will be in the pudding I guess and personally, I hope Poilièvre won't be the one in the kitchen preparing it because he will just hand over the nation without a second thought and will even do it with glee if the U.S. confirms him as the "northern governor for life".
LoL, the full power of the Fed couldn't stop him but Canada will?

Wow! As a Canadian, I've never seen this level of coverage for our politics from an American network! Regrettably, we have our own buffoon on the federal level, Pierre Poliverre who apparently has grabbed on to Trump's coattails and is peddling a lot of right wing lunacy and has some growing support. Justin Trudeau is nearly completed his third term in power (no limitation on terms up here) and has dropped in popularity given the amount of baggage he and the liberal party have accumulated since 2015. No Canadian PM has ever been elected to 4 straight terms (although I believe one achieved four terms in total back in the early 20th century) and that could be a problem as the conservative party is the only other likely party to win should Trudeau be voted out. The NDP (a more left leaning party than the left leaning liberal party) has never won a federal election in their 60 year history and is not likely to be a viable alternative to Trudeau and stop the radicalizing conservatives.
I'm not really a Trudeau fan but Canada must vote him back into power for that fourth term. Poliverre, much like the new premiere (governor equivalent) of Alberta, are going to suck up to Trump in hopes of currying favour with Trump, possibly in the form of relaxing tariffs applied to Canadian oil exports, for which 75% or more come from Alberta alone. Letting Polivierre into power would create a menacing link between Canada and the US which favours nobody but the rich. Canadians are smart people by and large. For God sake I hope they have learned what happens when people ignore the threat of voting lunatics into power!
Canada loves Meidas Touch!! Keep up the great work!
Exactly my thoughts on Pierre and why we can't afford to let him win. People need to vote strategically... make sure NDP gets enough seats. I can't stand Pierre 🤮

See how the women (Tish, Fani, Claudia) do NOT back down to Trump, but the Republican/Conservative men that can make a positive change seem to have lost their balls.
They are cowed by corrupt mean greed
And maga say they are “alpha” males- reality they’re all yes men clinging on to his coat tails😂
They didn't lose their balls, they sold them for chump change to Elon.
Losing them would still imply they used to have balls at some point... I really doubt it
Correction they never had any BALLS!
This chic Danielle often hosts tucker Carlson on his trip to Russia. Did a rally in her province of Alberta. That's who Danielle smith is. 🇨🇦
As an American that didn't vote for this "clown ", I am disgusted and embarrassed. Good for Canada and I support to take a actions against a bully!
Poor baby 🍼
You lost out on your free sex change
Canadian here from Québec. I've been watching Meidas, BTC, LegalAF and such since that fateful day in 2016. I love all of your work and almost completely lost track of local politics. I read about your intention to go international and applaud it. Here in Canada, we unfortunately have incompetent conservatives sort of like a GOP before magats took it over. I'm not saying the Liberal party is much better but they're not batshit nuts like the conservatives. A Meidas network here would definitly benefit our citizens and those of other countries in this crazy world!
Thanks a million for your reporting!
100% vrai merci
I’m not mad at Canada at all. They have a right to stand up for their country.
What a stupid American sentence.
@@dwayenwayhow so?
We are Canadians from the Québec province approve the Ontario and the rest of our beautiful country to show TRUMP that we are not junk.
Quebecer here! I stand by that too!
I am a Canadian from Ontario....I LOVE Quebec.....I also love every other Province and Territory 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Merci beaucoup pour ça, mon ami 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦
J'appuie à 100% nous devons nous tenir les coudes et faire face à ce tyran ensemble! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
It is ridiculous that you even have to say this and you have to deal with this. Unfortunately, we have a large group of people that don't use their critical thinking skills and we here in America will all suffer because of this. I am sorry that our suffering is flowing over the borders to your country.
We Canadians will stand together and support the businesses that will be effective. Buy Canadian, eh!!!
His lack of diplomacy, moronic bullying and unserious tactics won't be tolerated by any countries, as they all know that this time, he is on his last term, everyon knows he'll be gone again pretty soon, if his health even holds out that long. Even cowardly Republicans are starting to push back.
Not soon enough!
Now he is the lame duck.
Well done Canada 🍁. We know trump now. Trump and his lunatic fringe will pull America into the broken states of America. MAGA wake up and smell the s..t. 💙🍁
Not enough Republicans
I hope by the time he's gone this country will still have the respect of the rest of the world and that our democracy will go on as it was meant to be. I for one can only pray.🤔🤨
To all the people who voted for this narcissistic moron I can only say "God forgive them for they know not what they do"
I saw a member of Canada's House of Common speak out about his wonderful country and gave about 5 or 6 examples where Canada was on the CORRECT side of history instead of the United States. I was ashamed as an American.
Good for Canada. I have several relatives who live in Canada having moved from England and you cannot push them around. I stand with the Canadians
