What independence Canada is talking for decades its 95% it exports its Goods in US Market they put all their eggs in one basket called USA k!
😂😂😂😂
The analysts I have been watching from the major Canadian news do not agree with the second analyst. Many people are talking about Poilievre being like Trump and that his base includes the Mapale Magas.
These "analysts" are (still) smoking crack.
Certainly reasonable to object to annexation, an undemocratic approach by Trump. But what about negotiating from strength, demand 13 Canadian states be admitted to the union, one state per province? Think of it, 26 new US senators! plus on the House side, the nation's largest Congressional delegation. Trump would take the bait just for the glory of making the deal. Win-win.
It’s surreal. Trump’s the biggest threat? By demanding you secure your own borders. Hmm
People feel bad for Canadians right now. Once this “Reciprocal Tariffs” study comes out it will be over for Canada and many of our current Allies. Americans went to war over a tea tax. They will not understand European Value Added Taxes. Americans will not understand 200% poultry and 300% dairy supply support programs in Canada. Forget about Canadians boycotting trips to Florida. Americans are going to lose their collective $hit and blame Canada and Europe for everything bad.
Solution is Quebec become a part of France and rest of the Canada become a part of USA or part British commonwealth.
This is a good opportunity for a lot of Canadian French people who always wanted an independent state for them.
What a stark contrast from the US debates. Wow 😮 America 🇺🇸 this is civil discourse.
We need closer ties with Canada. An EU Canada Free moment of people agreement would be productive
Ha Ha Ha. Canada will feel how US will being freedom and Democracy in their nation. They think everyone is equal….no that is false.
Canada need Trudeau to fight back with Trump
The analysis delivered in this segment was very poor. Thanks to China, crime is out of control in Canada, and the Liberal party cannot do anything to stop it, even if they wanted to, which they don't. I would also argue that all Canadians secretly would prefer to become Americans. Not just because of the crime issue, but because of freedom of speech, which is basically non-existent in the country right now, unless, you work for the NDP-Liberals. Personally, I hope Canada becomes the 51st state. Canadians would be safer, happier, and their bank accounts would actually have something in them…
Carney will win the Canada election. Canadians hate Pierre Polievre.
US want our minerals, waters, water ways, but we are not (stupid) or brain freeze similarly to the americans 😂 we stand to ppoilievre scheme 😂 in part because of…
From Canada, the Liberals ruined the country, our conservatives are not ready for prime time and we are being forced to swallow Carney, a guy who spends his time interviewing American and British media and avoids domestic. The Canadian people lack political options, cuz our elites are feckless and generally navel gazers. Democracy, sounds like a great idea, we should try that sometime.
Ya of course these Canadian leaders talk like big hot shots they have a nice big juicy pension waiting for them. Canadians will pay the tariffs.
supporting canada from the uk
We cannot trust the USA and no one should. They are proving to be a very unreliable "ally".
"The DT of today is different to the DT of several years ago" Because several years ago he wasn't an orange buffoon with an over-developed sense of self-importance, a complete lack of knowledge of how government works or any comprehension of international law and diplomacy? Intriguing. And stupid.
America is a dump.. 🍁 #1
