  1. Why would Canadians want to go to the USA? The concept is actually quite funny 😂….. I’m comfortable here in Canada 🇨🇦!

    1. Mister G Yeah like healthcare, education levels, poverty rates, racism, murder rates etc., so superior indeed.

    2. MrJustliketht they also have the world’s largest economy, the world’s largest exporter of oil, they have protected Canada for decades while we let our own military atrophy. We also have shootings and racism and ridiculous immigration. We have destroyed our own economy through mindless virtue signaling. Compared to the states Canada is a joke

    1. @Sonic Hedgehog
      You ask for them and they will be coming to catch your Kingpin True-dope and your weed brain and punish you the way you loved in their 5 ***** rated American prison complete with g_y s_x just like the way you loved.

    2. @Samuel Beaton canada was the most ferocious country in ww1 and ww2 because we fought hard and proud in ww1 and ww2 have you ever heard about that one eyed Canadian soldier who liberated a entire town by himself in ww2

    1. @Karoshi but why protect canadians? Wouldnt Canadians be the ones with the troops then? I am very interested in your theory.

    2. @JD 28 I dont about stupid.. canadians are taught to know what’s going on in the real world. Americans are very narrow minded and taught – me myself and I –

      They cannot answer any questions retaining to anything outside u.s.a.

      Health care and education is a privilege not a right.

      Academically, canada is also way up there.

    3. The Canadians in here responding to this are dumber than a box of rocks. They wouldn’t know what was happening if you spelled it out for them.

    1. @Mister G america is the land of COVID 19..The virus that is sweeping the NATION…Hey Canada! You all can have Mister G. Hes a piece of 💩

    1. Dusty Rose you realize we’re talking about trump right? He doesn’t know the meaning of the word peace lmao

  2. We should have troops at the border too. Why would we want to go to the USA they have more Corona virus cases than we do and no health care?

    1. @Cornelius Gal they are already infected. trump wants to follow steel brought through canada by china.

    2. @Cornelius Gal sneak in for what we have weed, beer and freedom! I dont do either but I can if I want.

    3. @anne-marie Andrews Trump is hiding the truth and hides it by saying stupid things. The border needs it so it stops any panicking idiots.

    4. Just add this to the list of things that Americans are paranoid over. There’s always something. It’s pathetic.

  3. I don’t understand.. if you want to smuggle steel into the USA – where exactly do they pass? Through the forest?

    1. For those of you confused. He’s claiming that China is exporting steel through Canada, most likely Vancouver, and paying the Canadian government whatever tariff there is between China and Canada. Then they’re driving the steel down south to America and then forging documents to make it look like it’s Canadian steel going to America where Canadians will pay the Americans a smaller tariff because of Trump’s idiotic war with China and increasing tariffs on Chinese goods.

      So China saves money by paying tariffs to Canada and then pretending to be Canadian to pay the Canadian tariff to America to get their steel into the country

    2. Oh no looks like he caught onto the ‘grand pipeline all steel goods” we’ve built to combat the tariffs 🙁

    3. The trumpy is 1) Ignorant; 2) Uneducated; 3) Intellectually challenged.
      Trouble is, he’s stopped being amusing.

    1. More like coming for your Cartel Kingpin True-dope’s weed business.
      Remember Panama ? How about Afghanistan ? How about the famous Mexican Cartel business ?

    1. trump figures china is bringing in steel through canada to avoid tariffs, but also monitoring canadian citizens with sensor technology which he does not have the right to do.

    2. Dude we monitor incoming traffic and citizens with possible warrants in our and other jurisdictions. We share info but Americans o it get name and licence plate numbers. They have no access to Canadian criminal data bases. Fives eyes included.

  4. Ok, I think it should be the other way round. We don’t want anyone from the epicenter of Covid-19 coming into our country.

    1. Exactly. From infected liberal New York. But did you say that when the epicentre was China? And it still could be cuz China lies. Or when Italy was the epicentre? When flights were coming into Canada daily from those areas?

  5. No one sane is planning on going to states now. Those troops are only going to be stopping american’s going north.

    1. Hemp will replace cotton and lumber to some degree when we can get those who are blocking it (for a fee) out of the way.

  6. Why is he sending troops to the canadian boarder? We dont want to go to the United Cesspool of America!

    1. Actually, the only shitholes in America are ones run by Democrats. Like urban New York, Washington State, California.

    2. Canada is the 3rd world cesspool. Trump has been improving America for years and returning them to greatness, while Trudeau the feminist destroys Canastan

    1. Wtf is the problem if he places troops as a precaution its no big deal, and its probally protecting Canadians more than Americans

    2. Actually over 1500 illegal immigrants land in Canada and then cross over to the USA EVERY DAY, you might want to pay attention to the reality of things before making low IQ comments…

    3. @J A F A S except the border is closed now to all non-essential services, so that’s not happening right now, if ever

    1. The Mexican and Canadian border blocked, with the pacific and atlantic ocean blocking the other sides. Looks like a mouse trap to me.

    2. @Angus Shockmyer america is canada’s mexico angus, play in the wire? you must be american and not aware you are a third world country.

  7. No fool, #1 is Americans have no idea how many are affected in their country because you don’t want them to know. Ignorance is bliss.

  8. so he’s deploying troops that COULD be used to make the needed equipment, to a border with a country that has 4200 cases in the entire COUNTRY – NYC has over 10 times that, the USA has 83000 in the country… on the ‘oh the irony’ side, Mexicans are deploying to the southern border to keep AMERICANS out of Mexico.

  9. We are doing the best testing, never has anyone done testing like we are testing…and it’s great testing…lol
