What about the dangers of all these illegal guns coming in to Canada 🇨🇦

[@julianl8330]

If we strengthen the border like we finally are, that sounds like a problem that will fix itself now won't it?

Promises made - promises kept.

Had Trudeau not confiscated our legal weapons, maybe firearms coming into the nation would not be an issue, Trudeau has rendered our nation defenseless, completely defenseless!

[@denisdemers3741]

No more 93,7 % hard drugs from USA enter in Canada, no more 98,1 % illegal migrants from USA enter in Canada, i'm very happy.

What about the fentanol manufacturing in Canada ? In BC financed by BC casinos and cover it up by Trudo and BC premier Eby ?, Is that OK ?

Canada need to build it's freeways within Canada to support our tourism and transportation.

There has to be changes with the cost of travel within Canada! It’s infuriating that we can fly outside of Canada for hundreds cheaper than sometimes only flying a province or two over! I would love to see high speed rail but unfortunately I will be too old to enjoy it should it become the way of travel! Europe can do it?!?!

[@brianconnolly6597]

Flying to Florida shouldn’t be cheaper than flying to another Canadian province.

[@lisacouto6962]

Problem is the interprovincial issues. It’s team Canada until you mention pipelines so Canada isn’t dependent on the USA. 8 hours later you hear the premiere of Quebec saying Quebec has no interest in the energy east pipeline. How rich!!!! Team Canada alright.

[@RayrayMondy]

There isn't only oil as resources, doesn't Alberta have anything else

[@mikej238]

Gee how about eastern Canada buy more Alberta oil , quit blocking energy east.

Real estate prices and the fentynal crisis are directly related. I hope the fentynal Tzar reads the book Wilful Blindness. Everything is explained in that book. Very well researched, lots of RCMP evidence

[@franciscooviedo-landaverde3724]

it is sad that there is low interprovincial commerce the more products are made in Canada and sold the lower the prices and everybody is happy and less dependent on USA--Canada trade and commerce it is easier to trade with foreign countries than within Canada that must change

[@janesullivan684]

SHUT THERE POWER MAYBE IF THEY FEEL THE HURT WE CAN SHOW THEM ARE WE PAYING TARIFFS ON SENDING THEM POWER?

[@jeffturner3499]

Finally Canada listened to what Donald Trump right inthe very beginning clean illegal border and fentynal and terrorism and illegal immigrants or expect tariffs simple as that our leaders need to step up and do

[@theresbob8878]

I BEG…BEG… all Canadians to research deep, about Canadian crude oil sales...we've been getting totally screwed. We give it away and then have to buy it back as the refineries are in the States. The only money made is on income taxing the companies and jobs, as all the companies extracting the oil are American...who sell (pipe line) it to their own refineries in the USA.. Then we the taxpayers pay for cleaning up the 8000 abandoned sites they leave behind.
