Trudeau’s message to American people: 'Your government has chosen to do this to you'
After announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., Prime Minister Trudeau delivered a message to the American people.
Trudeau speaks the truth. Our government did this to us. The billionaires who preferred this administration and sat as the feudal lords at the swearing-in did this to us. The corporations who backed Trump who see his admin as a tax shelter, who would lobby to favor employers over employees did this to us. The corporate and social media who see themselves as arbitors and gatekeepers of "free speech," who choose to see objectivity through bipolar both-sides mania instead of an ethical lens did this to us. The system pits us against each other to bicker, fight, and mame for every scrap that falls off their table instead of focusing our rage collectively against those seated there. They did this to us.
The whole damn system is guilty as hell.
It's the maga cult that forced this on us.
Does it not feel like 'checks and balances' doesn't actually work, and hasn't been working?
I feel like the billionaire class, controlling through propaganda, a large loud minority of unintelligent, low educated bigots, resulting in what we're seeing. Essentially the destruction of what was an amazing country.
The imbeciles who voted for this are too stupid to understand the consequences. The bigots and racists are just voting their bigotry.
We need better checks and balances. I don't know what that is though.
I feel it’s like the Internet, people aren’t using it for what it was really designed for. The Internet was never created for security, was intended for sharing knowledge.
People have managed to use The Government in a way it was not intended lol
But haven't you heard that "the purpose of of the system is what it does"? Surely nothing could ever be used for a purpose that was not its original intention! /s

We need better checks and balances. I don’t know what that is though.
It is extraordinarily difficult (impossible?) to design fair checks and balances that can keep >50% of the population's choices from being implemented. The only solution is to make sure that the population is resistant to manipulation.
Is Canada accepting American refugees yet
Only if you bring your own house with you.
I’ve always wanted to do van life. Can I come?
Respectfully, we made the choice ourselves.
Trust us, we know. The educated ones, at least.
Not really. We chose this.
The American people are, on average, fascist dipshits.
31%. I’d argue the other 69% aren’t, and are largely just confused and checked out.
Ah, my painful, and depressed upvote. It’s the most inconvenient truth that we have collectively chosen this. Sure, our elections aren’t exactly fair, and there’s a lot of bias, but the failure to clearly and decisively reject him is a failure of the people.
I most certainly did not vote for him, but most of the people who did vote in my state, well, they chose it on purpose.
Not really "our government". Trump has chosen to do this.
Almost the entire republican reps in the house and senate either support him or are doing nothing to go against him.
