WATCH: The gloves are off! It’s been an under-reported scandal for quite a while that Pierre Poilievre refuses to apply for security clearance. It was a scandal EVEN BEFORE the most recent efforts to undermine Canada’s democracy, sovereignty and economy from Trump, Musk and the GOP.

“Trump is trying to orchestrate the total collapse of the Canadian economy, in order to make it easier for Canada to be annexed by the United States.”
That’s what the Prime Minister of Canada just told the world.
Think about that.
Really let it sink in.
An attack.
Are you ok with that, America?

You can’t overstate the historic importance of today’s speech to both American and Canadian citizens by Canada’s Prime Minister.
Please watch it and share it wherever you live, but especially if you’re in the United States. You need to know what Trump is doing, and why. youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w
