SPEAKER 2
I'm joined by Canadian member of Parliament Charlie Angus. Since we last spoke, Donald Trump says these tariffs are going to happen. Charlie, they're supposed to happen on Tuesday, although now you've got people in the Trump administration saying, well, it's possible that if Canada does this or that, what's going on?
0:21
What's the vibe in Canada right now, Mr. Angus?

SPEAKER 1
I think right now, after the horrific abuse that Donald Trump and J.D. Vance subjected a genuine war hero, President Zelensky, to in the White House while having some troll from the Russian media there to watch it. Canadians are really sickened in their stomach. I mean, we've been ready for a fight.

Elbows Up: Canada is Done Taking Trump’s Abuse

I spoke with Canadian MP Charlie Angus about Trump’s tariffs, Trump licking Putin's boots, and why Canadians are ready for a fight.
501

By Ben Meiselas

I sat down with Canadian Member of Parliament Charlie Angus again yesterday, and let me tell you, the frustration from our neighbors to the north is real—and justified. Donald Trump is once again playing his petty, reckless games, again threatening tariffs on Canada. But what he doesn’t seem to grasp is that Canadians aren’t just rolling over. In fact, they’re gearing up for a fight.

Charlie didn’t hold back. He painted a picture of a Canada that’s not just irritated but deeply enraged by Trump’s endless tantrums and his administration’s blatant disregard for international partnerships. From Trump’s disgraceful treatment of President Zelenskyy—humiliating a war hero while cozying up to Russian propagandists—to his lunatic trade policies, Canadians have had enough. And when comedian Mike Myers (who is from Canada) went on SNL and threw up the iconic “elbows up” gesture—signaling that Canadians were ready to play rough—it sent a clear message: the gloves are off.

Trump’s tariffs, if enacted, won’t just hurt Canada. They’ll devastate American industries too—particularly the auto sector. As Charlie put it, within days of these tariffs going into effect, plants in Toledo, Lansing, and Bowling Green will start shutting down. Trump, ever the wannabe strongman, is selling out American workers, wrecking our economy, and pushing away one of our closest allies—all to keep up his ridiculous con of looking like a "winner."

But here’s the reality: Trump’s no winner. He’s a grifter, a fraud, and, as Charlie put it, a “cheap hood” who bends over backward for Putin. Meanwhile, he’s isolating America on the world stage. Canadians, who are historically measured and diplomatic, are done being polite. They’re cutting off American products, skipping vacations in the U.S., and standing shoulder to shoulder in opposition.

Charlie summed it up best: Trump thought he could bully Canada. Instead, he’s united them like never before. And for every American out there who despises Trump’s destruction of our country, know this—there are more of us than them. We stand with Canada, and we stand against Trump’s corruption.

Elbows up.

I can't understand why such a great number of folks didn't vote when there was so much to lose but it is over and it is done. MOST of us don't want IT coming in to Canada as there IS a law whereby Canada does not allow felons into the country and there is the meeting of the G7 in June.

people can adjust...they have warm clothes for winter, maybe your hubby thinks it's a frozen tundra all year long. The majority of Canadians live close to the USA border so the climate is similar to what your northern states have. Canadians love to have visitors from other countries. We had thousands of them in Vancouver, British Columbia for EXPO '86. Americans were easy to pick out though, loud , brash , rude anbd pushy. Use your manners when you visit us, tone down the boastfulness...you are the greatest country in the world only in your own minds, the rest of the world would disagree.

During EXPO '86 I worked as a waitress at the Sidetrack Cafe on Davie Street in Vancouver BC. We were a very busy 24 hour restaurant 3 blocks from the East gate of the EXPO grounds. We had hundreds of Americans come to eat there during EXPO along with many other visitors from around the world. There was always a line up waiting to get in. You could always tell the Americans from the rest of the tourists. Americans were always loud, rude and pushy, seemed to think they should get some sort of special consideration because they're American. They were lousy tippers to top it all off.

well, I hope you called out the rude Canadians...there's no excuse for anyone to be rude to a country hosting the world for anything...considering Ameicas' population is what? about 10 times larger than Canadas that means we had to put up with a lot more rudeness than americans did...maybe it was retalitory. Considering Americas population in 2021 was almost 335,000,000 and Canada's was only 38,000,000, I can assume percentage wise there are far more rude Americans ...no other country had a reputation for rudeness, just yours...it's that "we're the best, we're better than eveyone else" attitude ..no other country has it.

If any of your states have republican lawmakers then you need to start threatening them. If you can impeach a us representative or senator in your state then set about trying to do that.

Why would Canadians want to become the 51st state?

1. Life Expectancy: Canadians enjoy a higher life expectancy, averaging 82.5 years, compared to 78.4 years in the USA.

2. Lower Crime Rates: Canada boasts significantly lower crime rates, with a murder rate of about 2 per 100,000 people, compared to about 6 per 100,000 in the USA.

3. Leaders getting shot: Four sitting US presidents have been assassinated together with one attempted assassination. No Prime Minister in Canada has been assassinated.

4. School kids getting shot: In 2023, over 1,600 children and teenagers under 18 were victims of school shootings in the USA, while Canada reported no such incidents.

5. Incarceration Rates: Canada's incarceration rate stands at 90 per 100,000 people, significantly lower than the USA's rate of 531 per 100,000.

6. Poverty Rates: Approximately 10% of Canadians live in poverty, compared to around 17.8% of Americans.

7. Healthcare Spending: Canada allocates 12.4% of its GDP to healthcare, while the USA spends 17.6%. Despite this, over 8% of Americans are uninsured, whereas all Canadians have coverage.

8. Deficit-to-GDP Ratio: In 2024, Canada's federal deficit-to-GDP ratio was less than 2%, much lower than the USA's which was over 6%.

9. Federal Debt-to-GDP Ratios: Canada has a lower General Government Gross Debt -to-GDP ratio than the USA, and a much lower Net Debt-to-GDP ratio.

10. USA Unfunded Medicare and Social Security Liabilities: The USA faces significant unfunded liabilities, with $48 trillion in Medicare and $20 trillion in Social Security. According to Forbes, a sound retirement system would have $68 trillion in the bank earning interest to cover future expenses. However, the USA currently has no such funds, and there are no serious proposals to address this issue. Consequently, benefits will be cut, or taxes will increase substantially.

So tell me again why Canadians should want to be the 51st state?

Maybe that’s why when some Americans travel they wear Maple Leaf pins. I promise you that Canadians do not wear American flags.

I am horrified listening to a leader from Canada talk about the United States the way Canadian MP Charlie Angus does....and not because he's saying anything wrong, but because THIS is where we are as a country. That we have a *president* (and I use that term lightly) who has completely EMBARRASSED us on the world stage, who has ALIENATED us from our CLOSEST allies, while cozying up to dictators like Putin and Kim. I knew another trump presidency would be awful.... but I did not expect it to be THIS awful. I know trump loves Putin more than he loves anyone ... but I never expected him to completely DESTROY our relationships with our allies to the extent that he is. The uncertainty of tomorrow is frightening. It's something new, something more horrific with each passing day. I have nothing but respect for Charlie Angus for standing up to trump the way he does....especially after the debacle in the White House on Friday. The way trump and Vance attacked Zelenskyy was DEPLORABLE and CLASSLESS. I've never been so embarrassed to be an American as I was in that moment.

The Ontario premiere stated that they are putting a 25% delivery tax on the hydro going into the USA so she should expect her bill to increase. Canada is also balanced with being reasonable. For instance my Provonce (British Columbia) has put in place tarrifs that will specifically hit red states Eby stated it sends a message if we specifically target the red states.

My heart breaks seeing what this damn dictator wanna be, all his minions, all of maga and the entire retrumplican party,are doing to this country that I love, where I was born and raised, where I worked hard to raise my kids to be good and respectful and professionals, just to have this buffoon come and mess everything up for everyone and putting in danger the future of my kids, my grandkids and their kids, picking fights with our friends and isolating us from the world. What a disgrace to the presidency of the USA, what a disgrace to our WHITE HOUSE, to the Oval office. I blame every single republican and maga for what is happening. I feel like the sky is falling on us heavily. I pray and wish we can come out of this soon, somehow. I just ask our friends in Canada and Europe and all other friends to not give up on us. The majority of Americans do not want what is happening. God speed. 🙏

Ben, thank you for this interview with MP Charlie Angus. Please tell the Canadians the MAGA mob doesn't represent me or for that matter most Americans.

I'm a Vietnam combat Veteran; and I cried watching the disgraceful conduct Trump and Vance displayed toward the courageous Volodmer Zelenskyy! Im 77 years old but in pretty good health. Since this has happened, and we know this lunatic is abandoning Ukraine, then I want to call on all US military veterans to stand up, form up and go to Ukraine to physically support the Ukrainian people. If North Korea can send 10K troops to fight for Putin then how about we former war veterans who still believe in democracy go to Ukraine to fight for the Ukrainian people.

Ben, I have no idea of how to even begin a movement like this but can you help me get the word out? I'm hoping someone else who reads this post feels thr same way and we can connect. "Elbows Up"; Slava Ukraine

We see Canadians now never wanting anything to do with ex hockey player Wayne Gretsky who was admired all through the country, now that we know he's a Trump fan. He's out!

I personally know people around me who never paid much attention to US politics, now cancelling trips to the US and checking labels on grocery items and boycotting whatever are American products!!. I would NEVER in a million years have imagined such a thing!

We also see Canadians paying A LOT of attention to a trump-wannabe right-wing candidate who will be on the ballot in the next federal election to be our next PM and we're doing all we can so he doesn't succeed.

Like Charlie said, we usually mind our own business and we're known to be a very polite and patient nation, but when we start getting threats and insults from a bloated ignorant orange POS, we unite, and watch out!!!

Respect is a very big deal to Donald Trump. That is, being respectful to him, while at the same time he has no respect for anyone else in the world. It's part of his mental health deterioration.

Trump has not shown appropriate respectful to Canada, Ukraine and many other countries. No country should accept this kind of treatment.
