Back in the 1970s, Richard Nixon had tape recordings of everything that went on in the Oval Office. The recordings showed that he referred to Canada’s Prime Minister as “an asshole.” Our Prime Minister at the time was Pierre Trudeau, Justin’s father. A reporter asked Pierre Trudeau for his reaction to the “asshole” comment. His reply was, “I’ve been called worse things by better people.” Sounds like history is sort of repeating itself, with a US Pres taking shots at the Canadian PM. And, once again, the Pres is not “better people.”
Honestly, it's not that bad. I think Trump implying Canada is not a real country, like putin saying the same thing about Ukraine prior to his invasion is way worse. Also, his "just a joke bruh" explanation is not believable. It's clear he's seriously thinking of invading and annexing Canada. I'm not saying he's going to do it, but it's clear he's thinking about it.
FYI, the hatred Pierre & Nixon felt for each other was due to the fact that Nixon had told Pierre that he wanted Canada to support the USA in Vietnam plus, Nixon wanted Pierre to deport the young Americans that had fled to Canada back to the USA. Pierre had responded a hard NO to both requests, adding that he would not be sending young men to their deaths in a war where the US had no business being involved in. Also FYI, Nixon had called Pierre an SOB where Pierre responded by calling Nixon a bastard.
People could have their views of Trudeau, but he's the Prime Minister of Canada first and foremost. I, and many other Canadians take the disrespect to the Prime Minister's office (whoever in there) very seriously. Americans don't appreciate outsiders making fun of their government system. We as Canadians feel the same way and expect to be addressed with respect. It's not asking for a lot.
I live in a state which borders your country and have the utmost respect for the nation my Grandmother came her from. Would rather join you all as a territory than the other way around and am so embarrassed by any of my fellow Americans who support Trump in any way.
Twice impeached defendant not president yet Trump can shut his pie hole because if we were a state it would be 30+ million votes against him. Love Canada
since you barely get 40 % of eligible voters voting in any election that might be tough. The blackface got in with 32% of voters voting him in and he needs NDP to govern.Won't make mistake again.
I went back and listened to Trudeau's comments. You're right. He did say opponent. It's accurate. But I'm expecting Trump to call Canada 'the enemy' any day now. Seriously.
Agreed @@paulbickford8715, I would not be surprised if Putin and Trump want to divide up the northwest passage access and arctic oil reserves - Canada becomes disputed territory. A peaceful nation between two powerful, greedy, f'ng war mongers......
No, felons are not allowed to enter Canada. Canada's immigration law considers anyone convicted of an indictable offense to be inadmissible, which means they are not permitted to enter the country. However, there are some exceptions, such as being granted a temporary resident permit in extreme circumstances. Other offenses that can make a person inadmissible to Canada include: reckless driving, misdemeanor drug possession, domestic violence, shoplifting, theft, drug trafficking, weapons violations, assault, and probation violations.
What if it's a crime according to other legal systems, but not a crime in Canada? For example, lese majeste (insulting the monarch or the state is illegal in certain countries). Or a crime like homosexuality. It's illegal in certain countries. Would they be barred from entering Canada?
Good for You, PM Trudeau! Thank You for speaking truth, and protecting your country & your people! The majority of Americans are upset & embarrassed by the re-election of the Melon Felon.
When the US embassy was under attack, Canadians at risk of their life, protected the embassy staff and secreted them out of Iran. Canadians went in convoys to help in New Orleans after the hurricane. Toronto often helps Buffalo with snow removal after big storms. Halifax still sends a Christmas tree each year to Boston in appreciation for their assistance after the Halifax explosion in 1917. Don’t forget the hospitality of the people of GanderNewfoundland on 911. There are so many other examples of Canadian generosity and support for our American neighbours ( yes that is spelled correctly). What is wrong with DJT that he seeks to offend and insult a good neighbour? And by the way… Justin Trudeau is the Prime Minister of Canada. DJT is nothing but a school yard bully. Why on earth was he re-electedwhen you knew what he was like?
@@apatrusty Well , he's not getting them , and he may just get a smacked bottom if he keeps acting like a spoilt , saucy brat . Canadians are nice , until they're not nice . Lord jumpin moses eh
My guess is that he was elected since a large portion of citizens are religious and the transgender issue, LGBT rights, rights to marriage, abortion, atheism, goes against their morals. So, the need somebody that lies, bends the rules, comprises morality to bring Jesus to the USA. The republican citizen, conservative, christian is ready to comprise themselves.
I'm a Brit. My family has Anglo/Irish makeup. On both sides of my family we have cousins who are both Canadian and Australian. Like 99% of the Brits I know, we consider ALL Commonwealth countries as family. Close family. Cousins. My own father served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a pilot in 1950's. I along with many other Brits do like Americans (except MAGA loonies) but don't think of them in quite the same way to be frank. I haven't spoken to anyone in the UK who likes Trump or any of the MAGA shenanigans in the past 8 years. It's high time the Commonwealth (and our friends around the world) countries got our s**t together in all ways possible.
This is really good to hear. As a Canadian, I can say our ties with Britain are far stronger than with the U.S. We are like family. And I hope we won't have to call on you and the rest of the world if Trump decides he's going to march over the border, to try to make his comments about the 51st state a reality....

My apologies for what Donald Trump just said against your Prime Minister Justin Trudeau❕But don't worry, we the American people will handle this❕ LONG LIVE CANADA/VIVE LA CANADA❕🇨🇦 🇺🇲❕
"America First" might turn into "America Alone". In a global economy, Americans don't want to go it alone or they'll soon realize that their "way of life" is dependent upon this economy as the world produces and the U.S. consumes. Standing alone would also destroy that way of life.

I realized that I am just parroting everything that has already been written. As a proud Canadian born and raised, I am beyond disgust and when I heard that comment about calling prime minister Justin Trudeau a governor I felt sick to my stomach. I literally went into fight and flight, thinking could it be possible that we could become a part of the USA through a trump Administration. Reality kicked in and I know that we are a strong country but this guy is really testing my patience.
I’m wondering why Biden is so silent on this, your President should be roaring about Trump assuming the mantle now. Part of the reason Trump was elected. This is a street fight, folks🇨🇦 ,
As a Canadian, it's been rough having Trudeau, but he is undoubtedly better than PP. However in this instance, he's showing he's actually pretty good. Not blanket tariffs, but targeted tariffs. I'll still be voting NDP, but if Liberals win it again, we'll be just fine. Just gotta keep PP out so he doesn't full submit to Trump.
@@ThePurpleKnightmare In the next election vote liberal or we will get conservative we can’t afford to divide the vote at this point,it will be a critical election!
@ Not everyone read the comments on this post.Besides the NDP and Libs will form a coalition !! Its will be a critical election same flavour as the USA there are MAGA thinking people here in Canada!
Canada is a part of the British Commonwealth, this doesn't only offend Canada but the whole of the Commonwealth, as an Australian, I am offended for the Canadian people and as an Aussie we are constitutionally committed to defend Canada as part of that Commonwealth.
I would be both surprised and disappointed if the UK didn't stand in solidarity with our Canadian brothers, just as they did for us in WW2. The democratic countries have to stand up together against Trump's American dictatorship.
The true fact is that Canada exports more to the US than they export to is!! Trumps childish personality is an embarrassment to your country! He is unbearable!! So grateful to be Canadian!!!🇨🇦🇨🇦
Trudeau isn't "escalating". He is reaffirming Canada's position and pointing out what ALL liberal minded people know - tariffs hurt the country that does them.
@@randybell5461 Well, YOU (as in "US citizens") are PAYING for those tariffs, so yeah, have fun. And it might be a good idea for you to learn how the economy actually works, while you are at it.
Canadians often bear the brunt of slander & jokes. Be assured though, that Canadians will Not be bullied even when hurt. There will be measured responses & not just from the government. EG see how Florida & Arizona feel when the Canadian Snow birds stay home.
I’m so glad you posted this clip from Justin. We Canadians don’t always agree with him, but he is smart, and balanced diplomatically unlike the radical right Pollievre who complains and whines and……reminds us how lucky we are to have him at the helm during this insane chaos that Trump is already bringing down on our partners in trade. Thanks Ben. I hope you always keep your ears to the ground and advocate for Canada and Mexico. The man is unhinged. He should be disqualified from taking the office of president.
You guys seem to be doing fairly well up there. I'm sure there will be a rightward shift in Canada, since it's happening across the globe, but at least you're currently in an ok place. I feel like we just had the rug pulled out from under us _again_ and just after we'd managed to get a lot of the stains out from the last time these idiots smeared...mud....all over it.
@@Fiestyredhead67I love your optimism... it is delusional, but still nice to see in this tough world. With JT purposefully taking our standard of living to the lowest in the G7, I think that Canadians are smart enough to let JT go to the dustbin of history as our worst PM ever. Our debt to GDP ratio is the worst in the G20, and most people on this forum want him back. Thankfully this is a very small percentage of Canadians. Go Pierre, Go Danielle!
As a Canadian, I don't see Trump's "taunts" as jokes. I see them as a threat. He already talks about our water, oil, and other resources like they belong to the US, and I wouldn't put it past him to try to invade parts of our country and take what he wants. "America first," after all. He's a bully and a sociopath. I didn't vote Liberal in the last federal election, but I'm glad Trudeau is standing up to him. I can't imagine Poilievre doing anything but whining a bit before conceding.
Regardless of how pro-trump the Canadian conservative party is at this moment in time. Conseravtives and liberals in Canada will unite to stop Canada becoming a part of the u.s.a.
This may have already been expressed many times but our Prime Minister traveled to Mar a Lago because convicted felons are not allowed across the border into Canada.
Trump should never be allowed to cross our border, for any reason, EVER. Trudeau or any new PM should not ever again travel to the usa to speak with Trump. He has duly ELECTED officials that can go in his stead. Canada should not have any negotiations with Trump representatives that have not been ELECTED. That would means no talks with Musk. Commonwealth nations should stand with Canada, and do the same.
JT went to Florida to educate the Orange. The Orange already went to France. Travelling to other countries is up to the discretion of the country's leader. We have many Maple MAGAts here so they'd be thrilled to see their leader. I for one would not.
@lph1106 I came to say the same thing. Halifax is a city in Nova Scotia and has no Premier. The Premier of Nova Scotia is Tim Houston. As you already stated, Scott Moe is the premier of Saskatchewan. I wonder how that got so wrong in so many ways, lol.
@@rugr82day The GOP were constantly complaining about Biden age but ignoring the dementia riddled DonOld whose brain is melting and won’t make it much longer! Biden has his wits about him and smarter and more qualified than Trump could ever be! Trumps an ignorant moron.!

Some of my family members are MAGA. I still have a relationship with them but it has definately suffered. I'm much less likely to do anything with them compared to just a few years ago.
I cut my uncle who was closer to me then my sister in age and was like a older brother i looked up to. i walked away from him for voting for the Progressive conservative of Ontario, same party that killed my niece on my birthday from extreme malpractice (their cutbacks and policies and appointees did it) then tried to cover it up and threatened my family with lawsuit to shut them up.
I've got several family members, whom I otherwise have great fondness for, that just will not see the forest for the trees. They live in protected little bubbles of self righteousness, and I just can't. They were smart, and kept religion and politics out of Thanksgiving _this time_ but it's always simmering just below the surface.
Canadian here. This is not my statement it came from a Canadian TV News show, but it’s pretty spot on about this disrespect post from the 🍊 🤡 “Treat Trump like a toddler react when the toddler is holding a lighter but don’t react when the toddler is having a tantrum & throwing himself on the floor. He craves attention.” “He is a troll, we are going to have 4 years of trolling.”
In a single comment, Trump has pretty much insulted the Prime Minister by referring to him as a Governor and most of Canada by referring to it as the 51 state. Of course, he'll say it's only a joke but show a smidge more respect for your neighbour, ally and largest trading partner. This Canadian is is giving Trump the middle finger.
Trumps Minions in the House and Senate are enabling him and allowing him to do what he wants even though the economists warned him it would make prices rise but DonOld is so stupid and said he wants to tank the economy because he doesn’t care about America and Americans and treats our allies badly while praising our enemies! A buffoon and felon and a disgrace to the whole world!
As a Canadian, I already detest the president elect and his circle of sycophants. I did not think I could find any feelings lower than ‘detest’ - however that bar has been met and if there is word that describes level, I have not yet found it.
You reflect my feelings exactly. I did not know that I was capable of this level of hate. Thank you for the empathy that you are feeling for those of us who did not vote for this Orange Parasite, but are inflicted with his abuse because others forced it on us.
This Canadian is spending hours online and in grocery stores reading labels to make sure I don’t buy products made in the U.S. I purchase products made in Canada and Mexico and feel empowered as I reject anything everything made in the U.S.
I make a point of looking at the country of origin in the produce isle. By and large, it's almost exclusively US produce that's often contaminated with pathogens.
It is not easy to identify the country of origin. For example some labels only indicate that some, often, small part of the manufacturing process happened in Canada. Be alert. Also with the integration of the economies an item may contain parts from the USA and Canada. For example when the last free trade negotiations were going on the USA demanded more access to the Canadian dairy market. As I understand it, bulk milk from the USA and Canada could be mixed together and sold at retail. I stand to be corrected but I make sure purchase from a locally owned dairy.
For the first time ever, I put a bag of carrots from the U.S. back. I will make a conscious effort as I always do, buy local. I will limit as much as I can, anything from the U.S.🇨🇦
I left a long comment encouraging MT to find and watch PM Trudeau's comments in Halifax on Monday, and I'm glad you did. My family going back 17 generations are from Halifax, NS, a beautiful Province with some of the friendliest people you will find. No matter our political leanings, we generally stand together against tRumpski, whom we find to be a de-ranged, demented clown who will be treated as such. The is in our CBC news every day and night. We trade over $3.6 Billion a day in goods and services to the US and it was PC Stephen Harper, our last PM CON who removed RCMP, and CBPS' from the border. Don't let the weasel squeaky, repetitive maga lite PP fool you. He's a lifetime politician, who would truly bend the knee to tRumpski. We Canadians expect our politicians to stand up for Canada and it's interests no matter what. True North strong and free. Thank you for continuing to cover this Ben.
Trump is so dumb and also an egomaniac and will destroy not only our USA but also Canada Both we and Canada can now hate Trump and all trumpets equally.
@@doubleup407 As a Canadian, looking in from the outside, I often wonder why Bernie Sanders never made it to the White House? He’s so intelligent, unbiased, believes in better social structures and your country. I don’t know, maybe I see him incorrectly, but I feel like an Earth in another timeline where he was president would have been a better place for everyone!
Donald Trump is a disgusting embarrassment to our Country! How arrogant to taunt the Canadian Prim Minister as "Governor". Please to all Canadian's not all of us that live in America support this egomaniac. I did not vote for him, but unfortunately have to face this crap like everyone else. And to those that voted for him to make your wallet fatter, get ready, because it will get much thinner under the Administration that "YOU" voted for. Congratulations!
Canada will never join the USA. But one way of some US states avoiding crushing tariffs might be to join Canada. Other bonuses include universal health care, lower medical costs, stable social programs like old age security, fair and balanced elections without gerrymandering, lower crime rate, choice of more than two political parties....
I live in Washington State in the United States. Please stand up to Trump. I am embarrassed that Trump got elected. The United States is going to suffer under Trump. Don't allow that to happen to our friends in Canada. Everyone has to stand strong to this lunatic. We will be doing everything we can to stand against this moron. Don't be intimidated or back down to this threat to the goodness in this world. I just am so sorry we all are going to have to endure this.
The reply from Prime Minister Trudeau, is thoughtful, truthful, considered, as you would expect from an adult. Trump is none of those things. My 4 year old niece can argue better than Trump.
@@bocktoon5477 Instead of making essentially one word comments, how about some lucid and valid arguments as to why this presentation is "wrong". Everything that Trudeau said is exactly how tariffs work. All the posts that MT covered from Trump and Musk were pointed out to be lunacy. All the pardons that were doled out at the end of the last administration were for truly disgusting people. This whole presentation is nothing but facts. Please show us why it's so wrong.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for explaining clearly for all the idiots who voted for Trump what will happen with a 25% tariff on Canada will do to the U.S.
Trudeau got his start in politics when a Conservative PM got a much larger & heavier Conservative Senator to challenge him to a boxing match. Trudeau accepted. Instead of going down in 1 punch Trudeau tore him to pieces humiliating the PM & his chosen thug who's sole fighting credential was throwing a woman down a flight of stairs. He's not a coward, but you are Donny. Consider his start in politics versus yours.
Not only is Trudeau not a coward, he did a segment about the boxing match on This Hour Has 22 Minutes. He has a sense of humour and can laugh at himself. Unlike the thin skinned baby, trump.
Trudeau’s dad was the 15th prime minister, It wasn’t a boxing match. Trudeau was part of parliament. MP Trudeau and his fellow senator brazeau boxed for a charity event.
As a NewYorker I stand with the lovely Canadians in this matter. Disrespect and arrogance amongst world leaders should be unacceptable. You as Canadians may have your differences of opinions about your Prime Minister and your Government but I’m sure you’ll join together to defend when unprovoked attacks come from other countries rulers. It’s like being a parent, you love your child but you may not like certain things about them and you may point that out BUT you feel offended when someone else criticizes your child.
@@jonathanclaudeplante6546 you do realize that US companies will be paying for those tariffs, and the prices will pass on to the consumer, right? The foreign nations won't have to pay anything.

I'm a Canadian, and I'm beyond simply offended by Trump's continuing comments about Canada becoming a US state-- I am LIVID! While it is usual for Trump to act and speak in such an immature way, questioning Canada's independence, even in jest, makes me ill. Mocking our country and our leader is mocking every Canadian. I love Americans, but I sure as hell don't want to be one. And Trump had better not get the idea that Canada is up for grabs. While we are known as a very polite people, do not test us-- courtesy is not weakness
It was not a joke.Believe me many Americans believe they will take over Canada.I worked in the US and the level of ignorance about Canada and indeed the rest of the world is outrageous.So between their colonial aspirations and their stupidity we have to be very vigilant.When I retuned To Canada 20 years ago,I got out of the car once we crossed the border and kised the ground.
I hear you, and I mirror your sentiment, but this is exactly the reaction the bully wants. He wants you upset, frustrated and reacting passionately to him. This is what gives him power. It's twisted and immature, but it is exactly the behaviour of a malignant narcissist. Not reacting takes the fun out of it for him, and eliminates most of his reason for doing it in the first place. Don't get mad. Get even. 😉
Canada can begin its' "strategic tariffs" with a 50% tariff on Tesla vehicles destine for Canada, just to thank Mr. Musk for his contribution to the drama and chaos.
@@erwinsm10 There was a time when civil people disagreed with their government but there wasn't HATE involved. That is something new. It's a MAGA thing. We need to bring civility back to Canada.

What a good point. Trudeau should inform tRump that if he wants to address Canada's Governor General, he must contact Her Excellency The Right Honourable Mary Simon.
Canadians are nice until they are pissed off. Referring to Canada as a state has pissed us off. Canada is a free sovereign nation and has earned respect around the world. Trump can FO with is crap! Just think of the outrage that would be caused if we referred to America as a province and called Trump a Premier. I would never do that out of respect for the American people. No one in Canada would ever do this. But a messge for Trump, FAFO, you will learn to not piss off your best friend and neighbour!
I don’t think donOLD will change his ways on Tariffs. Have to give kudos to my PM to at least try to get through to trump. Trump is in new territory now he never mentioned once in his fight for his first term. “His” ppl just kept putting info in his head he doesn’t understand/comprehend what it can do to other countries. Not only America.
Trump forcing the old sticks and stones game, is he 7? He is embarrassing. Trump is a childish baby. and his ego is easily damaged. Trudeau, looks straight to business and overlooks the childish name calling. TRump is probably still holding a grudge because of the way Melania was caught looking at Trudeau 😍.
@@BusyLizzy_ I lived in Canada from the late 70s until the mid 80s. I loved living there! It is highly disrespectful and I hope Trudeau cleans this moron's clock! Trudeau's dad was in office during the time I resided there.

As a Canadian I'm actually proud of Justin's performance here! I really hope that we keep him in power for just one more term. Pierre Poilievre would be a complete disaster as he would cater to all of DJT's demands and we would be at the losing end of the stick!
If Canada joined the United States with its 13 Provinces and Territories (that have universal healthcare), its 26 Senators would represent 20.6% of the US Senate, Its population would also equal 10.5% of the enlarged United States giving it 56 of the 538 Electoral Votes, and would enlarge the House of Representatives by 46 new Congressional Districts. If I were the Canadian PM I'd call him on it.
Thanks, you guys need to keep that dog on a leash, he disrespect us and last week Mexico as welll, both of us are your closest allies... Who's next on Trump's bullying list?

@@RiverGirl. and he will. Australians are tough as nails. He may not know his history, but Canadians remember. The ANZAC were brave, fierce, and formidable! He doesn't want to FAFO with Australia!
Another insight I have- is the Meidas Touch is trying trump everyday on their platform. Ben ( et al) in particular is our professor as we go forward. Without this platform, we would know nothing. We must fight to preserve our independent media.
@vvvRaTheSunGoDvvv - that’s an important differentiation. Scotland has devolved powers (as does Wales), it does not have absolute self-governing powers; for instance Scotland can remove the 2-child benefit cap imposed by the previous Tory government; it can also restore the winter fuel allowance and decide how much it spends on its NHS, schools and keep universities free for Scottish students only; however, it receives its funding from the Westminster Government via the Barnet Formula, and its parliamentary role is much diminished in comparison to central government at Westminster; not that it would, but Scotland could not restore the death penalty, or decide to hold another independence referendum without parliamentary approval. Scotland would need to vote for full independence to be truly sovereign and independent; it would then resile from the monarchy and stop using the British pound if it chose to join the EU, assuming the EU would accept it. It is highly doubtful whether constitutionally if Scotland failed to be part of the United Kingdom, it could retain the British monarchy as head of state. Sadly for Scotland there are more pro-monarchists in Scotland than there are in England and Wales combined, although the monarchy’s popularity as a whole is falling in most age groups, and particularly so in people under 40. It's gratifying to see people in America so invested in a thousand years of Scottish and British politics; may be because it's light years from Trump, the Electoral College and Elon Musk at the seat of government. Canada and Great Britain both culturally and societally are very similar for obvious historical reasons.
Back in the 1970s, Richard Nixon had tape recordings of everything that went on in the Oval Office. The recordings showed that he referred to Canada’s Prime Minister as “an asshole.” Our Prime Minister at the time was Pierre Trudeau, Justin’s father. A reporter asked Pierre Trudeau for his reaction to the “asshole” comment. His reply was, “I’ve been called worse things by better people.”
Sounds like history is sort of repeating itself, with a US Pres taking shots at the Canadian PM. And, once again, the Pres is not “better people.”
Ha! Good one!
Honestly, it's not that bad. I think Trump implying Canada is not a real country, like putin saying the same thing about Ukraine prior to his invasion is way worse. Also, his "just a joke bruh" explanation is not believable. It's clear he's seriously thinking of invading and annexing Canada. I'm not saying he's going to do it, but it's clear he's thinking about it.
I always thought Pierre was a class act. 🇨🇦
FYI, the hatred Pierre & Nixon felt for each other was due to the fact that Nixon had told Pierre that he wanted Canada to support the USA in Vietnam plus, Nixon wanted Pierre to deport the young Americans that had fled to Canada back to the USA. Pierre had responded a hard NO to both requests, adding that he would not be sending young men to their deaths in a war where the US had no business being involved in. Also FYI, Nixon had called Pierre an SOB where Pierre responded by calling Nixon a bastard.
The huge difference is that Nixon made his comments in private. Even Tricky Dicky had more class and decency than this moron.
People could have their views of Trudeau, but he's the Prime Minister of Canada first and foremost. I, and many other Canadians take the disrespect to the Prime Minister's office (whoever in there) very seriously. Americans don't appreciate outsiders making fun of their government system. We as Canadians feel the same way and expect to be addressed with respect. It's not asking for a lot.
You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, Trump doesn't respect anyone except dictators. He's a menace.
Americans are truly becoming as rude as they're reputed to be.
Exactly. 🇨🇦🍁

Agreed @@paulbickford8715, I would not be surprised if Putin and Trump want to divide up the northwest passage access and arctic oil reserves - Canada becomes disputed territory. A peaceful nation between two powerful, greedy, f'ng war mongers......

No, felons are not allowed to enter Canada. Canada's immigration law considers anyone convicted of an indictable offense to be inadmissible, which means they are not permitted to enter the country. However, there are some exceptions, such as being granted a temporary resident permit in extreme circumstances.
Other offenses that can make a person inadmissible to Canada include:
reckless driving, misdemeanor drug possession, domestic violence, shoplifting, theft, drug trafficking, weapons violations, assault, and probation violations.
I wonder how he was allowed to travel to Paris? Do they have similar laws?
I friend of my husband's wasn't allowed into Canada - he had been arrested for drunk driving.
@@carmenfay2871 Yes... Most of them do... Trumps going to have to stand at the border to parley
What if it's a crime according to other legal systems, but not a crime in Canada? For example, lese majeste (insulting the monarch or the state is illegal in certain countries). Or a crime like homosexuality. It's illegal in certain countries. Would they be barred from entering Canada?
So in other words unlike the US, Canada stands by its common sense laws! I love it.
Good for You, PM Trudeau! Thank You for speaking truth, and protecting your country & your people! The majority of Americans are upset & embarrassed by the re-election of the Melon Felon.
well, not quite correct - the majority of Americans voted to re-elect him.
Sorry, but I have to concur with this prior post. Way too many Americans supporting him.The majority in the swing states. Many of us are asking why.
By less than 2% and only just over 60% of Americans voted.
Hardly a landslide or a mandate
The meaning of insane is voting the guy into office again and expecting a different outcome!!!
Very true.
It will be a long time before i ever go back to the U.S.A my tourist and vacation money can stay here in Canada 💙🇨🇦
Come to Australia , we won’t cause you any grief 😉
Me too!!!
There are many places to go beside the USA
Agree
I totally agree. Same here, I will go to Mexico. There are much friendlier destinations around the world than the US.
When the US embassy was under attack, Canadians at risk of their life, protected the embassy staff and secreted them out of Iran. Canadians went in convoys to help in New Orleans after the hurricane. Toronto often helps Buffalo with snow removal after big storms. Halifax still sends a Christmas tree each year to Boston in appreciation for their assistance after the Halifax explosion in 1917. Don’t forget the hospitality of the people of GanderNewfoundland on 911. There are so many other examples of Canadian generosity and support for our American neighbours ( yes that is spelled correctly). What is wrong with DJT that he seeks to offend and insult a good neighbour? And by the way… Justin Trudeau is the Prime Minister of Canada. DJT is nothing but a school yard bully. Why on earth was he re-electedwhen you knew what he was like?
He just wants our resources 😮
@@apatrusty Well , he's not getting them , and he may just get a smacked bottom if he keeps acting like a spoilt , saucy brat . Canadians are nice , until they're not nice . Lord jumpin moses eh

My guess is that he was elected since a large portion of citizens are religious and the transgender issue, LGBT rights, rights to marriage, abortion, atheism, goes against their morals.
So, the need somebody that lies, bends the rules, comprises morality to bring Jesus to the USA. The republican citizen, conservative, christian is ready to comprise themselves.

I'm a Brit. My family has Anglo/Irish makeup. On both sides of my family we have cousins who are both Canadian and Australian. Like 99% of the Brits I know, we consider ALL Commonwealth countries as family. Close family. Cousins.
My own father served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a pilot in 1950's. I along with many other Brits do like Americans (except MAGA loonies) but don't think of them in quite the same way to be frank.
I haven't spoken to anyone in the UK who likes Trump or any of the MAGA shenanigans in the past 8 years. It's high time the Commonwealth (and our friends around the world) countries got our s**t together in all ways possible.
This is really good to hear. As a Canadian, I can say our ties with Britain are far stronger than with the U.S. We are like family.

Trump owns Canada.
He won’t be president when he’s sworn in either

As a Canadian, it's been rough having Trudeau, but he is undoubtedly better than PP. However in this instance, he's showing he's actually pretty good. Not blanket tariffs, but targeted tariffs. I'll still be voting NDP, but if Liberals win it again, we'll be just fine. Just gotta keep PP out so he doesn't full submit to Trump.

Trudeau isn't "escalating".
He is reaffirming Canada's position and pointing out what ALL liberal minded people know - tariffs hurt the country that does them.

Our debt to GDP ratio is the worst in the G20, and most people on this forum want him back. Thankfully this is a very small percentage of Canadians. Go Pierre, Go Danielle!
As a Canadian, I don't see Trump's "taunts" as jokes. I see them as a threat. He already talks about our water, oil, and other resources like they belong to the US, and I wouldn't put it past him to try to invade parts of our country and take what he wants. "America first," after all. He's a bully and a sociopath. I didn't vote Liberal in the last federal election, but I'm glad Trudeau is standing up to him. I can't imagine Poilievre doing anything but whining a bit before conceding.
FAFO am I right?!
Canada is a commonwealth country though so I doubt that would happen. Regardless, you’re right. The statement 🍊 made is basically a threat.
It won’t happen….article 5.
Don't worry he won't invade you. He can't find Canada a map
Regardless of how pro-trump the Canadian conservative party is at this moment in time. Conseravtives and liberals in Canada will unite to stop Canada becoming a part of the u.s.a.
This may have already been expressed many times but our Prime Minister traveled to Mar a Lago because convicted felons are not allowed across the border into Canada.
Trump should never be allowed to cross our border, for any reason, EVER.
Trudeau or any new PM should not ever again travel to the usa to speak with Trump. He has duly ELECTED officials that can go in his stead.
Canada should not have any negotiations with Trump representatives that have not been ELECTED. That would means no talks with Musk.
Commonwealth nations should stand with Canada, and do the same.
thats actually pretty funny. sounds like we're wasting his time
JT went to Florida to educate the Orange. The Orange already went to France. Travelling to other countries is up to the discretion of the country's leader. We have many Maple MAGAts here so they'd be thrilled to see their leader. I for one would not.
Scott Moe is the Premier of the Province of Saskatchewan not Halifax which is a city in the Province of Nova Scotia
@lph1106 I came to say the same thing. Halifax is a city in Nova Scotia and has no Premier. The Premier of Nova Scotia is Tim Houston. As you already stated, Scott Moe is the premier of Saskatchewan. I wonder how that got so wrong in so many ways, lol.

Some of my family members are MAGA. I still have a relationship with them but it has definately suffered. I'm much less likely to do anything with them compared to just a few years ago.
I cut my uncle who was closer to me then my sister in age and was like a older brother i looked up to. i walked away from him for voting for the Progressive conservative of Ontario, same party that killed my niece on my birthday from extreme malpractice (their cutbacks and policies and appointees did it) then tried to cover it up and threatened my family with lawsuit to shut them up.
I've got several family members, whom I otherwise have great fondness for, that just will not see the forest for the trees.

They were smart, and kept religion and politics out of Thanksgiving _this time_ but it's always simmering just below the surface.

In a single comment, Trump has pretty much insulted the Prime Minister by referring to him as a Governor and most of Canada by referring to it as the 51 state. Of course, he'll say it's only a joke but show a smidge more respect for your neighbour, ally and largest trading partner. This Canadian is is giving Trump the middle finger.
He doesn't joke. He's too stupid to get jokes so he is unable to make them. He's serious. Canada is lebensraum to him.

This Canadian is spending hours online and in grocery stores reading labels to make sure I don’t buy products made in the U.S. I purchase products made in Canada and Mexico and feel empowered as I reject anything everything made in the U.S.
Me too in the UK loads of European countries saying that
I make a point of looking at the country of origin in the produce isle. By and large, it's almost exclusively US produce that's often contaminated with pathogens.
Same here in Australia, I will not buy anything made in America.
It is not easy to identify the country of origin. For example some labels only indicate that some, often, small part of the manufacturing process happened in Canada. Be alert. Also with the integration of the economies an item may contain parts from the USA and Canada. For example when the last free trade negotiations were going on the USA demanded more access to the Canadian dairy market. As I understand it, bulk milk from the USA and Canada could be mixed together and sold at retail. I stand to be corrected but I make sure purchase from a locally owned dairy.
For the first time ever, I put a bag of carrots from the U.S. back. I will make a conscious effort as I always do, buy local. I will limit as much as I can, anything from the U.S.🇨🇦

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for explaining clearly for all the idiots who voted for Trump what will happen with a 25% tariff on Canada will do to the U.S.
Trudeau got his start in politics when a Conservative PM got a much larger & heavier Conservative Senator to challenge him to a boxing match. Trudeau accepted.

@@jonathanclaudeplante6546no problem. We put tariffs back. No way we go let trump bully us. Maybe even an embargo.
Yes, but we're still stuck with him, because Americans are stupid!
@@jonathanclaudeplante6546 you do realize that US companies will be paying for those tariffs, and the prices will pass on to the consumer, right? The foreign nations won't have to pay anything.
Luigi looking good for Trupm Vance targets 🎯💬
He's a disgrace
I apologize to our allies for this indignity
Another Yank apologizing.
IKR he truly is our sincerest apologies to our allies for this 🍊 9 yr old we all have to deal with 🙈🎉
Dream on Trump. Canada is an independent and safe country where we care for each other.
Exactly. We *know* our neighbours and care about them. The agenda of fear and hate doesn’t fly here. 🇨🇦
We are also a member of the commonwealth and NATO so FAFO. Plus we have almost as many guns per capita as the US, but we know how to use them due to our licensing.
Do you mean how JT looked after the legal trucker protest? Also dancing at a Taylor Swift concert while his hometown was being burned down thru illegal riots? Is that how we care about each other?
@@jansilverthorn777the way we treated the unvaxxed. Was that love and compassion?
@@agk6938the hour long riot with less than 100 people you are blowing out of proportion? Or the states mini invasion with fake truckers. Can you say propaganda?!?
I hope of anyone from Canada and Mexico are reading this, PLEASE know that the more educated people in the United States DID NOT CAST THEIR VOTE FOR trump. He didnt even claim %50 of the vote.
i have problems more with your lack of justice system your countrys proud lack of moral character while screaming we are the leaders of the world
I'm a Canadian, and I'm beyond simply offended by Trump's continuing comments about Canada becoming a US state-- I am LIVID!
While it is usual for Trump to act and speak in such an immature way, questioning Canada's independence, even in jest, makes me ill. Mocking our country and our leader is mocking every Canadian.
I love Americans, but I sure as hell don't want to be one. And Trump had better not get the idea that Canada is up for grabs. While we are known as a very polite people, do not test us-- courtesy is not weakness
It was not a joke.Believe me many Americans believe they will take over Canada.I worked in the US and the level of ignorance about Canada and indeed the rest of the world is outrageous.So between their colonial aspirations and their stupidity we have to be very vigilant.When I retuned To Canada 20 years ago,I got out of the car once we crossed the border and kised the ground.
I hear you, and I mirror your sentiment, but this is exactly the reaction the bully wants. He wants you upset, frustrated and reacting passionately to him. This is what gives him power. It's twisted and immature, but it is exactly the behaviour of a malignant narcissist. Not reacting takes the fun out of it for him, and eliminates most of his reason for doing it in the first place. Don't get mad. Get even. 😉
Trudeau was rational and realistic🇨🇦
He should try it more often.
Yes, for sure and he was very clear and informative to us Canadians.
Notice that Trump has not ever mentioned what they discussed in private.
@@JayeEllis
Go back to your conservative cave.
And statesmanlike. (As it should be)
Trudeau is an incompetent idiot and an embarrassment to Canada, he is not rational and realistic he is a narcistic hypocrite.
Canada can begin its' "strategic tariffs" with a 50% tariff on Tesla vehicles destine for Canada, just to thank Mr. Musk for his contribution to the drama and chaos.
My first electric car will never, ever be a Tesla.
Make that 100%
Amen
@@marianweaver84 China - the BYD EV is safer,cheaper and look better too! That new Tesla Truck is ghastly!
@@chrisgraham2904 yes please, I wish they would put 50% tariffs on Tesla vehicles!! We are sick of him in the US!
Trudeau shows he is realy a great and inteligent leader. Respect!❤🇨🇦🇳🇱🇪🇺
He is hated by most Canadians, fact.
He is comedian
@@erwinsm10 There was a time when civil people disagreed with their government but there wasn't HATE involved. That is something new. It's a MAGA thing. We need to bring civility back to Canada. The T has divided us in a really useless and negative way. You can do more by working together . It's time for people here to grow up and act like adults rather than adolescents.
@@erwinsm10 no he isn't, that's all in your head.
@@EmJack_Gaming yes, Trump is.
Good for Canada. Stand up to the fascist bully.
Just like he stood up to Jody Wilson-Raybould.
Canada has a Governor General already, but she reports to the King. Not that T-Rump would know that…
What a good point. Trudeau should inform tRump that if he wants to address Canada's Governor General, he must contact Her Excellency The Right Honourable Mary Simon.
As a conservative Canadian who will never vote for Trudeau, he's got my support to push back even harder.
Yeah...vote for tRump-north...MAGA-lite...P.P. that'll help.
Canadians are nice until they are pissed off. Referring to Canada as a state has pissed us off. Canada is a free sovereign nation and has earned respect around the world. Trump can FO with is crap! Just think of the outrage that would be caused if we referred to America as a province and called Trump a Premier. I would never do that out of respect for the American people. No one in Canada would ever do this. But a messge for Trump, FAFO, you will learn to not piss off your best friend and neighbour!
I wrote the same thing. We are polite until we are pissed off.
@@pongyi123 we are part of the commonwealth. Piss us off??? We will unite to defend our Canada.
I don’t think donOLD will change his ways on Tariffs.
Have to give kudos to my PM to at least try to get through to trump. Trump is in new territory now he never mentioned once in his fight for his first term. “His” ppl just kept putting info in his head he doesn’t understand/comprehend what it can do to other countries. Not only America.
Those Governor comments are absolutely unacceptable. I'm an American living in Canada and this is disgusting and embarrassing.
I know how you feel Trump is evil & ignorant
I am ashamed of my country. I cannot understand why that criminal wants to turn our friends against US.
I don't understand how a felon can run for President,, but can't ever run for sheriff.. I'll wait for an intelligent answer..
Trump forcing the old sticks and stones game, is he 7? He is embarrassing. Trump is a childish baby. and his ego is easily damaged. Trudeau, looks straight to business and overlooks the childish name calling. TRump is probably still holding a grudge because of the way Melania was caught looking at Trudeau 😍.
@@BusyLizzy_ I lived in Canada from the late 70s until the mid 80s. I loved living there! It is highly disrespectful and I hope Trudeau cleans this moron's clock! Trudeau's dad was in office during the time I resided there.
I am so glad our Prime Minister is taking this approach. Don’t stoop to his level of name calling. Walk softly and carry a big Tariff stick
Yah the big stick is: replace the USA with China as your largest trading partner 😅
Hate to think how this would go with Polievre
Don't get mad. Get even.
@@cathyriach1285PP loves Trump
As a citizen of the USA I respect the Prime Minister of Canada and his response to Trump's unhinged insanity.
Thank you...
@@bradleybaker8894 thank you
🇨🇦💞
Who cares what you respect? He's your president, your leader, duly elected by your fellow citizens. As a whole Americans stand condemned by their (your) choice.
Please don't because he is a joke
You elect a 110kg toddler as president and this is the result. The chaos and turmoil is just starting for Americans at the hands of this incompetent buffoon.
Our country is becoming a joke. I'm not mad at Mexico or Canada. They are taking care of their people.
Trump 2025, thank god.
Trudeau...Well said.. Impressive words and thoughts on how to handle the tariffs that Trump 🍊proposes !
The difference between him and Trump 🍊 is incredibly significant!!
And doesn’t he know an awful lot about quantum physics?
Unlike Mango Mussolini, he does some research before he speaks.
As a Canadian in the US, 99% of jokes about us are funny or whatever. The 51st state stuff just enrages me. It will never happen. We’d rejoin crown before that happened!
Amen the thought of becoming the 51st state of the United States makes me want to puke
I AM FROM MEXICO AND I STAND FOR CANADA, IF I JUST WAS 20 OR 30 YEARS YOUNGER I WOULD APPLY FOR A CANADIAN VISA AND LIVE THERE.
Frump acts like a 9 year old. He just needs to go away. Forever.
that is his IQ level
And that’s an insult to 9 year olds. I taught 4th grade and found the students to be very reasonable and thoughtful.
Or grow up!
😮 Please Russia, take DJT back home. We have had more than enough stupidity to last 4 lifetimes 🇺🇸
*I'm a single full time dad and I taught my little girl to be fair and equal and treat others how she wants to be treated and she's a wiz compared to him.*
Ben I am soooo happy you and Meidas Touch are covering what is happening in Canada when it comes to Donald Trump's sickening insult of our P.M.J.T and our beautiful country of Canada.
As a Canadian I'm actually proud of Justin's performance here! I really hope that we keep him in power for just one more term. Pierre Poilievre would be a complete disaster as he would cater to all of DJT's demands and we would be at the losing end of the stick!
If Canada joined the United States with its 13 Provinces and Territories (that have universal healthcare), its 26 Senators would represent 20.6% of the US Senate, Its population would also equal 10.5% of the enlarged United States giving it 56 of the 538 Electoral Votes, and would enlarge the House of Representatives by 46 new Congressional Districts. If I were the Canadian PM I'd call him on it.
Greetings to Csnsda, valuable friends and allies, from the Heart of America 🇺🇸 🇨🇦
Apologies, and please know you are not alone in hatred of Trump.
Thanks, you guys need to keep that dog on a leash, he disrespect us and last week Mexico as welll, both of us are your closest allies... Who's next on Trump's bullying list?
Aussie here....DonOld has always been and will always be a bully but now he is a global bully!
And a global laughingstock.
Until he's not...
And you know what happens to bullies when you stand up to them, they crumble. Let’s hope our government rises to the moment, when he tries his crap here. 🇦🇺
@@RiverGirl. and he will. Australians are tough as nails. He may not know his history, but Canadians remember. The ANZAC were brave, fierce, and formidable! He doesn't want to FAFO with Australia!
He's no Bully. Just a big mouth with no idea. He has all his clowns do his bidding..
Another insight I have- is the Meidas Touch is trying trump everyday on their platform. Ben ( et al) in particular is our professor as we go forward. Without this platform, we would know nothing. We must fight to preserve our independent media.
💯👍
@vvvRaTheSunGoDvvv - that’s an important differentiation. Scotland has devolved powers (as does Wales), it does not have absolute self-governing powers; for instance Scotland can remove the 2-child benefit cap imposed by the previous Tory government; it can also restore the winter fuel allowance and decide how much it spends on its NHS, schools and keep universities free for Scottish students only; however, it receives its funding from the Westminster Government via the Barnet Formula, and its parliamentary role is much diminished in comparison to central government at Westminster; not that it would, but Scotland could not restore the death penalty, or decide to hold another independence referendum without parliamentary approval.
Scotland would need to vote for full independence to be truly sovereign and independent; it would then resile from the monarchy and stop using the British pound if it chose to join the EU, assuming the EU would accept it. It is highly doubtful whether constitutionally if Scotland failed to be part of the United Kingdom, it could retain the British monarchy as head of state. Sadly for Scotland there are more pro-monarchists in Scotland than there are in England and Wales combined, although the monarchy’s popularity as a whole is falling in most age groups, and particularly so in people under 40.
It's gratifying to see people in America so invested in a thousand years of Scottish and British politics; may be because it's light years from Trump, the Electoral College and Elon Musk at the seat of government. Canada and Great Britain both culturally and societally are very similar for obvious historical reasons.
