, primarily cited Trump’s inaction when it comes to climate change for his frustration.

“Your mindless destruction of our shared natural resources, our environment and our relationships around the world with friends around the world is unforgivable,” YoungYoung also voiced his displeasure with the president’s use of Young’s song “Rockin’ in the Free World” at his campaign rallies. “Every time … one of my songs is played at your rallies, I hope you hear my voice,” Young wrote. “Remember it is the voice of a tax-paying U.S. citizen who does not support you.”he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination back in 2015. Soon after, Young complained and the Trump campaign responded by indicating they would no longer use the song.

Young, a well-known Democratwho once wrote a song calling for the impeachment of former U.S. president George W. Bush, supports Democratic presidential nominee Bernie Sanders. “He is aiming at preserving our children’s future directly,” Young wrote in the letter. “He is not popular with the democratic establishment because, unlike other candidates, he is not pandering to the industries accelerating Earth’s climate disaster.”"Every time “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” or one of my songs is played at your rallies, I hope you hear my voice...”

Pffft!!

Not a fan of his music.

Old washed up Canadian leftie living in the US blasts Trump. Fixed it for ya.

Neil young is an idiot

Shmuck!

And ' Short term thinking' is code words for NON-GLOBALIST. Which is fine. I used to love Neil Young but lately he's become a selfish asshole.

Neil young is stinky

No one cares what another 'celebrity' thinks of Trump.

Neil Young is an embarrassment.

Who are you .

Fuck Neil Young!

Maybe we should clean up our own back yard before we worry about somebody else's.....besides, Trump's really just another politician(.) PERIOD

Neil who?

Yup and sad thing is Russia is ready to make him win again

Neil Young is a disgrace...

He’s right!!!❤️

Didn't he say It's better to burn out then to fade away? Neil Young was meant to be young. He's a total mess now, saw him in concert it was awful.

Neil young - cool, talented, Canadian. Neil old - American, awful in concerts, troubled old man.

Neil get F I ck off on US soil!

So far President Trump is proving the opposite. Where Niel Young and alike keep slandering reason.

i see Trump derangement syndrome is still going on. Careful he doesn't deport you neil

Thank God, he’s finally gone. Embarrassment to Canada.

I hope he gets Barr after him.

Neil stick to what you’re good at leave Donald Trump alone, he’s a great president.

Why the rich so scared of trump

“Hope Neil Young will remember southern men don’t need him around anyhow “

Young is old and out of touch with reality.... kinda like the guy he is supporting, Bernie Sanders.... old farts who live for the cheers and cackles of little girls.... PATHETIC! P.S.... hopefully he stays out of CANADA!

Is he having a moment of clear mind? WoW! I don't think it is going to last, though!

Traitor

OK Boomer

Neil who?

This guy who is in bed with Tides foundation and paying 55,000 for a token Canadian indian at his concert? Bye bye!

Neil has always been a very smart man.

MAGA 2020

Neil young your a nobody

“Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her... well I heard old Neil put her down... Well I hope Neil Young will remember... a Southern Man don’t need him around anyhow...”

Right back at you Neil...you're a fraud and a disgrace. Sincerely Alberta

Neil young is about as lucid and relevant as.....Donald Trump

Canada ... The US can have Neil Young. And, as an added bonus, we will throw in Justin Trudeau.

Surprised to see how many folks defend a draft dodging fraudster 😆

We got rid of him awesome

Thank you but you are telling us something most intelligent people already know.

Who cares what Neil young says

Another artist, another actor, giving the California Hollywood Socialist finger of no content opinion hate at Trump. ... and our Canadian media just keeps pumping that hate, to deflect and ignore the real, divisive economy and policy issues, churning from our own poser of a PM.

So he is their problem now? Was this part of the new NAFTA deal?

Sick of the media thinking we should all care what celebs think. They dont live in in reality why should we care of there opinions.

Thanks Neil.

All these boomers triggered by someone exercising their freedom of speech...

Not exactly original material

This socialist became an American while Trump was president. If he feels that srongly he should have stayed in a country led by a leftist. Canada.

As he moves to the US. Stfu or come back to Canada

I think neil has had too many drugs. Perhaps even tide pods. They can have him.

?

Kinda Fonda Wanda!!!

Wish we had him here in Canada...

Riveting News !!

Speak out Neil, Trump is a disgrace.

Neil young’s music sucks

Ok.

Neil Young is nothing but a has been waste of skin.

He’s right

Disappointing. I like Neil Young’s music. Why can’t entertainers stay out of politics. I don’t want to not like his music.

After he moves there. Weird!

Apparently he didn’t mind borrowing money off Trump in the past

Now do Trudeau!

Glad you found a home there Neil. Do us all a favour and stay there!

Well we don't care what he has to say. At least POTUS is Making America Great Again. PM Turd JustinTrudeau is Making Canada Not Great.

Who cares! Whether you hate/like Trump, Trudeau, or Kim Jong-un, seriously who really cares? Neilyoung has joined the list of celebrities many will no longer support...

DUMB A**

Why move to USA just to start bashing them? Who cares what he thinks.

Young is in the early stages of dementia from all the drug use over the years.

Who ? Lol

I’m surprised he left under Trudeaus reign. Figured they would worship each other. Maybe Trump will make him disappear.

Canada needs a Trump Instead Canada has a Justin who gave 2 billion dollars of Canada Pension Plan Money to India for affordable housing as Canadian Sr sit in piss and are left unfed in underfunded hospital wards or can’t find affordable housing Oh and 500 million to Africa

Neil Young sings like a girl and he looks like that gay psychopath on Silence of the Lambs.

Ha! Ha Ha, they can have him. Bye Bu Bye.

Well he's a drug-addled hippy, so it stands to reason.

Pot meet kettle

The right wing can have Ted Nugent. I'll take Neil Young (first concert I ever saw, at Cobo Arena in Detroit).

Thank God he left Canada!

French First World War helmet better protection than modern one: U.S. studyA helmet used by French soldiers in the First World War provided better protection from overhead blasts than a modern American model, according to a U.S. university study. Funny, I was actually talking about the Adrian helmet today with my class when speaking of the evolution of uniforms and equipment during the first world war. Well yeah! The military men/women to the government are disposable and nothing more to them, they don't want them to get home and have to pay them and for their healthy well being afterwards, so they let them become homeless and battle PTSD and more without help. 100 year old technology out performs modern technology.
