Chapter 1: What sparked the Canadian reaction towards Trump?
know one of the great joys about running the Midas Touch Network has been the relationships that we've built with our Canadian colleagues and it was great to see Canadians celebrate a big victory in the four nations hockey championship where Canada beat the United States and
And it's a weird thing for me as an American to watch that video of Canadians celebrate beating the United States, but to appreciate the national pride that they have in Canada, standing up to a bully, standing up to Donald Trump and standing up to what the United States of America has become under Donald Trump. As Donald Trump continues to threaten Canada over and over again with
Chapter 2: How did Canadians celebrate their hockey victory?
with annexation the way Putin does with his neighbors. It was great to see an underdog nation or a nation that has been so bullied and brutalized by Donald Trump stand up and feel this sense of real, authentic love of country. And to see Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who just months ago was pretty unpopular, now
Rally the nation, rally the liberal party, build this coalition, pass the baton on to likely Mark Carney, who will likely be the next prime minister if things can hold and to stand up and resist. what America has become.
And I say this as an American, you know, when I do these interviews with Canadian politicians, the friendships I've built with people like Charlie Angus, it just, it warms my heart to see this. This is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau celebrating the moment Canada won the four nations face off ice hockey tournament against the United States. Let's play it.
We look forward to the United States beating our soon to be 51st state, Canada.
Canada!
I think he's watching for the United States to win tonight. I know he talked to the USA hockey team this morning. He talked to the players after their morning practice around 10 o'clock. And I also spoke to some folks from that team after they were jubilant over President Trump's comments to the team. I believe they're going to put out a video of that call.
So he looks forward to watching the game tonight. And we look forward to the United States beating our soon-to-be 51st state, Canada.
And then to see in Canada the way they were all singing the Canadian anthem together, standing shoulder to shoulder, the way Canada has stood up in history in the face of authoritarians and tyrants. Now, I know Donald Trump doesn't read history at all, but you go back and read the history of when Canada gets provoked.

Chapter 3: What was Trump's response to the hockey tournament?
Canada makes sure they go over the rails and they fight authoritarians and they've won over and over again. Here, this is Prime Minister Trudeau in the crowd of a prior game in this tournament when the Canadian national anthem was played. Let me show it to you.
And so now after Canada beat the United States in that hockey tournament this past week, after Donald Trump and his press secretary, they tried to get involved and they tried to make it about themselves, right? The same way Donald Trump tried to make the Super Bowl about himself. And Trump said that he was supporting the Kansas City Chiefs and they had the absolute worst Super Bowl imaginable.
Donald Trump then got involved and said that he was, you know, he was there with the United States team and then everything Trump touches dies. Now we're just seeing Canadians out there like this. As we wrote on the Midas Touch Network, Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province. As Tricia from Canada writes, of course we did.
Our 11th province needs to step their hockey game up. We see memes like this and photographs like this throughout Canada. Welcome to the USA, Canada's 11th province. or this Kendrick Lamar photo of Kendrick Lamar looking at the camera and basically, hey, Drake, basically, hey, Donald, take a look at me in this Canadian jersey. Memes like this as well. And let me just share this with you as well.
Chapter 4: How are Canadians reacting to Trump's annexation remarks?
You know, here's a video, and this was done by our friends at The Recount. And here they asked Canadians about Donald Trump saying that he wants to annex Canada. And they just went up to people in Canada and said, what do you think about that? And Canadians are like, wow, what the hell? This is from recent. Play this clip. Canadians have a message for Trump.
No, never. Sorry. Trump should think maybe about becoming one of our provinces.
who picks a fight with Canada. We love everybody. So it's kind of weird.
It would be ludicrous and hilarious if it was John Goodman saying it in a movie.
I mean, I think it's pretty dumb on America's part, but I feel like it's kind of stupid to like exile your number one alliance.
It's not going to happen. I mean, why would a country give up their sovereignty to join another country, really? And as a state, not even equal partnership? I mean, come on.
Canada were friends with the Americans, and now we're all being very cautious.
Canadians would never agree to even consider that concept. It's not going to happen. Personally, I'd leave before it happened.

Chapter 5: What are the benefits of using BetterHelp for therapy?
I think it's really dumb, to be honest. I don't understand why that's even a question. I think it's a joke, and I think it's unfortunate. There's always been a good relationship, so I find it unnecessary.
But we aren't going to go with you ever, ever, ever.

And to just see what the United States has become, it's very tough for me as an American here to see, to live in an authoritarian regime, to be here with this microphone, with this platform, knowing that America is now a dictatorship. That's a strange concept. We're past the stage of constitutional crisis here. We're in the stage where there's an authoritarian regime.
And the question is, will the people rise up? Will the people peacefully march and take to the streets and stand up against this? We see those protests growing. I've predicted in the spring and summer, you'll have a spring or summer of democracy here coming soon as Donald Trump's crashing everything. Our economies are crashing right now. The stock market crashed. Inflation is rising.
And some of the economic effects, all of the economic effects of Trump's reckless stuff really hasn't even kicked in yet. That was supposed to kick in later. It's already kicking in right now. And you just see stuff like this, like Donald Trump fired our top general here via social media post. I mean, how cowardly.
