The tension between Canadian far-left politician Jagmeet Singh and former President Donald Trump is heating up, as Singh took to social media platform X with a combative message directed at Trump. Infuriated by Trump’s ongoing provocations aimed at Canada, Singh, who leads the radical-left New Democratic Party (NDP) and is a potential contender for the Canadian Prime Minister role, unleashed a fiery statement that has caught some attention.
Singh began his tirade on X with a bold proclamation, asserting, “I have a message for Donald Trump. Our country’s not for sale. Not now. Not ever.” His words were charged with nationalistic pride as he underscored the resilience and determination of Canadians. “I lived across this country and I can tell you: Canadians are a proud people. We’re proud of our country and we’re ready to fight like hell to defend it.”
In a bid to emphasize Canadian contributions to global crises, Singh made a point of highlighting the efforts of Canadian firefighters who assisted during the California wildfires, an act of solidarity he portrayed as emblematic of Canada’s supportive role on the world stage. Yet, his remarks quickly veered back to Trump, with a direct warning, “If you think you can pick a fight with us, there will be a price to pay!”
Singh’s approach reflects a strategy of confrontation, as he has proposed imposing retaliatory tariffs on the United States should he rise to the position of Canadian Prime Minister. He urged his political competitors to consider similar retaliatory measures. Nonetheless, skepticism remains about Singh’s tactics, specifically regarding his capability to pressure Trump into submission. Observers note the significant disparity in military might, pointedly dismissing any notion that the Canadian forces would intimidate Trump.
Critics argue that Singh’s rhetoric and proposed policies reflect a penchant for headline-grabbing rather than pragmatic diplomacy. The focus on retaliatory measures could be seen as exacerbating tensions rather than fostering dialogue and cooperation between the two neighboring countries. This tactic resonates with the more extreme factions within Canada’s political landscape but raises questions about its efficacy and impact on Canada-U.S. relations.
While liberal media outlets may champion Singh’s aggressive stance as a robust defense of Canadian sovereignty, his proposed actions risk undermining economic ties and diplomatic relations that are crucial to both nations. The potential repercussions on trade and diplomatic engagements could have far-reaching implications, which Singh’s fiery statements may not fully account for.
I have a message for Donald Trump.
We're good neighbours.
But, if you pick a fight with Canada – there will be a price to pay. pic.twitter.com/o60c4qIyza

Supporters of Trump perceive Singh’s outburst as misplaced zeal, argue against Singh’s grandstanding efforts, and suggest a more measured approach to international diplomacy is needed. Trump’s approach, though often provocative, is seen by his supporters as a consistent quest to prioritize American interests without bowing to external pressures.
What started as a joke from Trump has turned the leftist idiots in Canada into total dumbasses. This idiot has no chance of becoming the next Trudeau Most Canadians are tired of the insane left policies.
I would boldly say that if most Canadians are as idiotic as Singh then there isn’t much hope for Canada! I also think that most are tired or the Trudeau type leadership, just as Americans became very, very tired of the OBiden regime.
I would have to agree with you with all the left-wing loon policies in Canada and the actions of some who were recently interviewed, especially one woman who spat on the USA, they are beyond help. Let them sink in their own mire of leftist ideology. But let’s stop supporting them in any way. We are trade partners – that’s it. FAIR TRADE POLICIES.
Some Canadians come to FL with the attitude we should kiss their feet because they are here “saving” us when they come for a few months. We don’t need them. We don’t need them overcrowding our doctors, making appointments a year in advance, overcrowding our restaurants, overcrowding our roads, etc.. We are so overcrowded with folks moving here escaping high tax states, building everywhere. FL is burgeoning. So, Canada, stay in Canada if it’s so great.
Big talk from a guy who couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag even with assistance.
It’s far too easy to troll a far left leaning politician. They will never get it. MCGA make Canada great again left is wrong right is right.
As a truck driver that makes deliveries into Canada I get the opportunity to talk to a lot of the people I deal with. Most of them said they would have no problem being made part of the United States as long as Vancouver and anything east of Manitoba was not included. Their reasons for saying that are basically the same : the Canadian government doesn’t care about the citizens that live anywhere other than Ontario and Quebec. Why? Because Canada has the same problem as the USA :the government only cares about the people in largely populated areas. Rural communities are considered 2nd and 3rd class citizens. The Canadian citizens are getting tired of being ignored by their government. Sounds like a familiar story from the US. The citizens are also getting tired of all the illegal immigrants, mostly from India and Pakistan. Sounds like a familiar problem. Sure, Canadians and Americans might have some differences like how they spell certain words, some of their sports, (Canada is the only place I’ve ever seen curling clubs), and some of their food. But we’re more alike than most people realize. Get rid of the leftist liberal policies from both countries and a Canadian – American alliance could be the most powerful in the world.
The world is tired of the left.
