DID EVERYONE KNOW THIS @9.3 SECONDS? I never knew kids were abducted, why don't they spend more time on that and less on TRUMP? Those poor children, there is no reporting on their health, their longing for their parents, OMG!
Nothing short of capitulation to a facist dictatorship. This is EXACTLY what Trump wants.
The title of the video should be 'Doug Ford bends the knee to Donald Trump."
Check BC Wildfire Stats 45% BC wildfires are human Caused, thats too high, wonder why our forests are burning down.
146% growth in pellet production for export to UK to burn in Drax power plant. 46% reduction in Pulp and Paper and Lumber Production due to shortages of Lumber, BC is importing wood chips from the USA. Stats from BC government.
Forest Industry has to rely on Wood-chips from the USA, as Eby said, do more with less.
Tariffs, level the playing field. Trump promised all this during his Election campaign, promises made , promises kept.
Where is Canadas Leadership?? Trudeau has turned the country into a Third World cesspool, its dollar in the gutter
Donald J. Trump, March 2025 meeting with FIFA president within the Oval Office:
“They rigged the election and I became president.”
Make me a believer, prove all the Tariffs on USA goods into America wrong, show me a list with verification of the tariffs, all I hear is rhetoric, no evidence.
How much per year is our sovereignty worth? I am willing to buckle down. Are you? Elbows up.
When will ford learn you can’t capitulate to an orange 🤡
Forty years of near-communism rule in Canada has brainwashed many Canucks to belief the false promise of socislism. Law enforcement with a supportive justice system works. Border security is serious business. National defense is another serious business with international implications. For much too long we have hidden our military weaknesses under an American flag & Pentagon dollars. Wake up Canada-Canadians! Putin & Xi are lurking around our arctic borderlands and shorelines!!
The Mexican cartels are gaining huge profits upon Canadian soil!!!
ofc they got to fold, what a fool, all you need to do now is bend the knee? geez
Covid review doesn't actually acknowledge latest medical and scientific knowledge.
Ah GloBULL, you just can't stop yourselves from lying, eh?
Doug ford doing what he does best, FLIP FLOPPING
DOOFUS BLINKED
What's Ford doing backing off, you said you gonna protect 🇨🇦!! You know Trump not gonna backs off!!!
Why is liberal government avoiding the conversation about putting pipelines across Canada for other markets
Where is the discussion about China putting tariffs on Canada
You mean Ford bscked doen. Plane and simple.
Trump/musk need money that's why they are trying to steal from older, disability and sick people's by taking our benefits to the to of you
that pit you are digging getting ready to fail in 😊😊😊😊😊 it's coming read your Bible
Holy shmoley people ! He , I won't say his name is not even a member of parliament, he is the liberal parties choice for their leader. We are almost not yet in a dictatorship. Stop quit all phoney patriotism on their behalf we'll have elections soon the tariffs will come off stop hyperventilating 😂
Doug a whole country was behind you. We needed you to stay strong and fight back. They’re playing you, every other premier was looking up to you. Sometimes you gotta turn off the lights for people to use their eyes to see better. We had this, what’s the worst that could have happen. The person won’t stop, it’s his M.O. I’m so disappointed
Ok, so Trump doesn’t need anything from Canada and then he says this. You can’t make up this kind of stupid
Global National is crap didn’t even cover the news on Duterte. Very disappointing.
Daniele Smith fr Alberta should be working with FORD to pressure trump to drop the tariffs completely!
Canada sucks for business. too many taxes, rules and regulations. Canada also sucks for citizens too. Too much taxes, rules and regulations.
Taxes go up and services go down.
Either cdn politicians are walking right into trumps trap, or they are just playing their part in the whole dog and pony show.
What a fkn' contradiction! Trump preached "Drill, baby, drill," but here he showcases Musk's EVs; basically a slap in the face of the oil and gas industry!
This is just the beginning, softening up the country before the Canadian Anschluss begins.
100% tariffs on all US goods. Trade with other countries & forget the US.
LIBERALS NEVER AGAIN
Isnt tesla named after a Eastern european that moved to Usa anyway?
STOP THE BULL CANADA WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER IN THIS ELECTION This is past political parties as we decide if we want a Canada as Traitor Rump attacked we seen the response of the Americanized politicians we been paying way too long.
