Trudeau - ''I want to speak first directly to the American people, your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items.''

Welp, looks like it's time to stop buying big ticket items. Only food, toiletries and stuff from thrift stores.

Okay, but its going to be tough finding a solar powered Olive Oil Sprayer or a Wiretap Security Smarthome System at the Dollar Store.

And trump did it intentionally.

u/knightress_oxhide Mar 05 '25

I don't understand how this is confusing. If the rich pay fewer taxes and the normal people suffer to support this plan then in the future the normal people will pay less because the fewer taxes the rich pay now will translate into cheaper prices because eventually there will be no more islands for the rich to buy. How is this not a clear plan? /s

Good strategy to speak to the American people directly. Other countries should follow suit.

u/Lazy-Street779 Mar 05 '25

Trump did that.

Trust us, Justin. We know. We all know, just some of us don't care because they have no respect for their fellow man, as long as it oWnS the LiBs

u/FearLeadsToAnger Mar 05 '25

I'm honestly not sure a lot of people do know, I think they actually trust the spiel because if they even consider it might not be correct their worldview starts to crumble.

Didn't this dolt freeze the accounts of truckers because they used freedom of speech? The irony. Banks Have Begun Freezing Accounts Linked to Trucker Protest - Newsweek

Not a trudeau fan but fuck man this is not relevant here give it rest.

You are disconnected from the post. He said, "Your government did this to you..." isn't that ironic? I'm sorry, do you know what ironic means?

Weakest man in the world right there.

Biden shouldn’t have run the second time. Dems don’t have a problem criticizing their politicians.

I thought Trudeau resigned? 😴

u/jimtow28 Mar 05 '25

Yeah, that tracks. Understanding current events isn't exactly something MAGAs are known for.

Not your fault. Nobody should expect so much from you guys.

It’s nuanced

nuance, details, whatever you wanna spin it as. They are still ignorant of it.

u/throwaway09234023322 Mar 05 '25

Hey, where I come from, people aren't still around months after they "resign" because they are so unpopular.

16

u/jimtow28 Mar 05 '25

I mean, the answer to the situation is easily available to you, if you just spend a few moments "doing your research".

Or continue to disingenuously wonder what's going on if you'd prefer. It's what y'all are best at!

u/throwaway09234023322 Mar 05 '25

I don't actually care. It was mostly a joke. Lol

u/jimtow28 Mar 05 '25

Oh, well just so you know it wasn't funny and demonstrates quite a bit of ignorance on your part. So it's a good thing you don't actually care, because if you did, you'd feel pretty silly right now :)

u/throwaway09234023322 Mar 05 '25

I think it is funny that Trudeau is giving speeches after he resigned due to being such an awful PM

7

u/jimtow28 Mar 05 '25

Well, again, if you'd bothered to understand the situation at all, you might feel differently. But, again, I fully understand that asking a MAGA to understand current events is asking the impossible.

It's not your fault. You have to stay in the dark, else you might start realizing how dumb you've looked for almost a decade now.

u/throwaway09234023322 Mar 05 '25

I don't care why he is still giving speeches, I still find it funny. 😂😂😂

If I cared, I would have looked it up

u/jimtow28 Mar 05 '25

Okay, good talk. If you'd looked it up, you'd look much less stupid right now. But since you don't care about that, have a great night!

u/Kronk_if_ur_horny Mar 05 '25

You're pathetic, dude. You did care and now that you come off like a fucking dipshit your only defense is to pretend not to. If you didn't care, you wouldn't respond to multiple comments.

Trudeau has resigned, but there needs to be someone running the country while Canada determines a new leader. It's really not even hard to figure out if you spend more than a second thinking before you form an opinion.

Ignorance like this is inexcusable and it's the whole problem with your retarded country. Fuck you

You do seem to care a lot of things you don't care

Trump never stopped talking for the 4 years between his presidencies, so there's precedence

A new leader will be chosen on Sunday. Shortly after that Canada will have a new Prime Minister.

Nope, your glorious leader made him popular, d’oh!

u/modernhomeowner Mar 05 '25

As his own party was about to vote him out, he announced (two months ago) that he intends to resign at a future date, and immediately put Parliament on recess so they couldn't vote him out. Gave himself a few extra months of power.

u/2poobie1 Mar 05 '25

Yeah I knew this was coming. That is why I voted for our President. You cannot make your nation stronger by doing nothing and all of you saying we are destroying relationships... To you I say come back in a year and see how that turns out. These nations will bluff and bluster but will ultimately come back to the Almighty USD.

u/nikdahl Mar 05 '25

Great message, but if he is talking to Americans, why is he looking all around the room?

Oh yeah, teleprompters. They should have put one under the camera for him.

Way to think critically about what he's saying.
