  2. AMERICA DOEN'T NEED ANYTHING FROM CANADA THEREFORE CANADA DOESN'T NEED TO SELL ANY CANADA PRODUCTS TO AMERICA. THERE ARE 200 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD THAT WOULD LOVE TO DEAL WITH CANADA WITHOUT HIGH TARIFFS AND ARE NOT A FKN BULLY.

  3. “Canada has nothing we need” let’s see, there’s this potash, but farms are failing due to trumps policy on immigrants illegal or not. So they don’t really need it any more. Canada has loads of fresh water, the us is drying up. But farms are failing so water for crops isn’t needed. Canada has those fancy precious new minerals the us covets. But because of unbalanced thinking at the “top” they won’t be able to get them due to cost. Canada has the crude oil the us needs to refine their oil. But their automotive industry is not what it used to be, so they don’t need the oil. And speaking of the automotive industry, vehicle parts and materials are being priced out of reasonable reach for a lot of auto manufacturers, they’re down too. When trump says he doesn’t need anything from Canada, that’s the feint to lull Canada into a false sense of security and safety before the strike to to take away their independence.

  4. Wasn't the initial strategy of the GOP "paying more for things is patriotic"? What ever happened to that strategy? How's that working out for you?

  5. While Trumpetie Dumbetie bloviates, threatens, demands, and whines, Canada just ignores him and quietly pivots on it's skates, gliding over to countries that respond to smart and stable business opportunities..

  6. DUNCE TRUMP HAS NO CLUE HOW MANY CARDS CANADA HOLDS: 28% of our heavy crude, potash, timber, rare earth minerals, cheap aluminum and steel and electricity supplied to 7 seven states by cheap hydroelectric power!

  7. What the US fails to see is that any trust between Canada and the US is gone. Canada is not going to offer uninterrupted discount resources to the US anymore because there are many other nations are willing to take their place in the supply chain who will trade is a fair and honourable fashion.

  8. When are Americans going to realize that Trump has placed tariffs on multiple products and commodities that either the U.S. does not manufacture, or manufacturers only a small percentage of America's needs. First; This is not the intended purpose which tariffs were designed to accomplish. Trump is well aware that American importers will be forced to continue to import these items. Every time that an American importer spends one dollar for potash, that importer will pay an additional 35 cents to the U.S. federal reserve. The tariff is simply a tax on American importers. It's also taxation without representation as demanded by the U.S. Constitution. Canada isn't earning a penny extra and Canada is not paying a single penny to the U.S.A. for tariffs. When American farmers file for bankruptcy and food prices soar on American grocery shelves, American only have one person and his administration to blame – Donald Trump. Donald Trump just stood before the United Nations and told the world that America is prospering, prices are falling and inflation has been annihilated.

  9. What’s happening with potash isn’t just trade—it’s a hard lesson in arrogance and the cost of breaking trust. Canada has shown it doesn’t need to wait on America anymore, finding new partners while U.S. farmers are left paying for reckless policies. Behind the jokes and anger, there’s something sad here: when friendship is replaced by bullying, both sides lose something precious. True strength isn’t about control—it’s about respect, cooperation, and knowing the value of what we share.

  10. POE TASH……come on really????? This shows YET once again how AI generated speech promoted and used NEEDS work. I will be putting this channel on the DO NOT RECOMMEND list.

  11. I think the US “farming crisis” is orchestrated by Project 25 to have corporations take over the farmer owners so the means of production is fully controlled by government and big business. Hope we are thinking about this in Canada.
