Trudeau has destroyed canada ??? look at all the pansies that are kissing him.

Trump just looking for a scapegoat for his incapability to fix the domestic American problem of drug addiction eventually he will tell his Mega ppl that the drug problem is bec of Mexico, Canada and china

I don't know much about this guy. But why is he unpopular in Canada to the point that he resigned from office ? He looks and sounds so smart and he is working damn well for his country. I love him !

What an amazing Primeminister! I almost want to move to Canada! this is what a leader looks like!

Yes this move does look like it could be connected to Putin. If Canada financially struggle then they can't help if needed with the war in Ukraine which is a plus for Putin. Bad move Trump US could be left out in the cold in future if he starts doing this to his allies and siding with Russia. Wake up Trump you're going down the wrong Path.

WE GAVE ONE MONTH , NO MORE , WE ARE GONNA SIGN THE MINERAL DEAL WITH UKRAINE , GOODBYE CANADA MINERALS AND GOODS , WE ARE SICK OF OTHER COUNTRIES LOOKING AT US LIKE SUCKERS STRAIGHT SUCKERS EXPLOITING AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS!!! MONEY TRAIN IS DONE!

Trudeau, and Canada, can get it too. Canada exists at our want. Polite, limp wristed, weak manipulationg and dishonest politicians like Trudeau are about to get their come uppance. Friend? You are a liening pathetic operative for Globalist. LOOK AT YOUR OWN ECONOMY. LETS GO TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an American citizen, I am horrified by the insane politics of the Trump administration. I am looking to move to Canada, if you will welcome me. I am a one per center, and will be depositing millions of US dollars into your banks.

Now this is what an intelligent president look and sound like. Mr. Trudeau may I please be granted residency in Canada until this mess is over? Please and thank you.

Not my government. It's a coup. They are letting the swamp in and dismantling government and our rights, inch by inch. This is what the cult 47 have voted for. To be aligned with Russia is atrocious! I'm not a rich white guy, so I will always be looking over my shoulder. Who will be left to stand up for you when they come? Oh, and I love you Canada! I wish my grandparents would've stayed there after marriage instead of moving back to the Ultra Swamp (US).

Why does this little potato even get airtime? He's a corrupt globalist puppet for the WEF.\n\nJust look at Trudeau's horrible track record. He had essentially destroyed Canada. Let's not buy into his BS.

As I look at all the wonderful comments from Americans supporting Canada the tears are streaming down my face. Thank you! What I worry about is what is Trump up to?. \nWhy the decoupling from allies, not just Canada. Worse, why support Russia at the UN? Why take down your cyber defences? Is this a dictator digging himself in? Is he using Kim Jung Un's playbook? Americans, please be very careful with this man. The free world loves you but we need you to be free.

If you look up the definition of fool in the dictionary there, you will find the photo of DJT. But to play to the Russians as he is makes him their useful fool. There will absolutely be a war sooner or later because of this amazing treasonous stupidity. Not with Canada, but all of the nations are now interconnected and this will reverberate and people will die who would never need to.

Trump has had zero success on the building development front in Canada...look it up. He was drummed out of Canada. This is part of his Revenge tour. Horrifying.

Canada (and many other countries) spent decades supporting the maintenance of US hegemony. Look what it got us? To a position where we're pretty much greatly dependent on, and at the mercy of the US. We need to invest more in our own country and make our own products. We should also trade with other countries regardless of what the US thinks of those countries. Trump wants Canada to put tariffs on China in the attempt to further impede that country's economic growth so the US will remain the economic hegemony. Never mind that a trade war with China would put Canada in an even worse position. Given the current events, I say we trade with China even more!

Absolutely it's not a trade war and don't try to incite blind nationalism. The tariff to be imposed on Canada by US clearly is a demand/indication forcing Canada to look into then curb the drug problem, which has already destroyed Canada and endangered the national security of US. Wake up and act sensibly before it's too late to save Canada.

But hold on a minute, Donald Trump is pointing the finger at president Zelenskiy of Ukraine saying that he would cause World War three let everyone just take a step back and look at the mess that Donald Trump is causing in the US is behaving like a mafia boss employing and bringing in all the criminals of the millionaire world from the bottom of the barrel They want to play with Canada. They want to try and take over the Panama Canal, and take Greenland doesn’t this not sound like something that Putin is carrying out right now how do you rain in in this modern day? a president, of the free world who is psychotic deranged and suicidal.

The more I read the comments of different news articles, the more I realize that we as a world, and a species, want to be united as friends, hand in hand but our leaders are trying to keep us divided. I hope we make it through the next few years alive. And when this nightmare is over, I look forward to the world coming together, be they people of Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, and America.

Stay strong Canada from NZ! Looking for Canadian products to buy and US products to stop buying.

I’ve been operating an import export business for 25 years throughout the entire time It has always been more expensive to clear goods from Canada into the USA than the other way around. Meaning there was already a trade barrier in effect to Canada’s detriment. This is just insult to injury. I wish the White House looked at the facts on the ground rather than fantasy. These tariffs are unnecessary.

I just hope Canada will not look back. Time to look forward and replace USA by new economic partnership such as EU, ASIA AND AFRICA.

Canada's gonna mess around and own some of the US if Donald doesn't truly look out for all americans!

Canada. I will be looking for Canadian merchandise in the stores over here in Europe. If there is anything to buy, I’ll buy it.

Fentanyl coming in from Canada to the USA is 0.02 %. Soo... trump is lying about that. Truth is that Melania likes Justin Trudeau. He's younger and Much better looking than Old Man trump, And THAT gets under trumps thin skin. Soo thats why he's trying to belittle Trudeau in front of America and Canada. If trump didn't have $$$$ ? No woman would give him a second look even. He looks like and talks like a Ditty Ole Pervert just like His Pal And Good Friend Geoffrey Epstein did leering at young woman. Soo that's why he's shooting off his poisoned mouth wanting Our Great Country as the 51st state. Canada's tougher than he thinks and he'll see that When the Going gets Tuff, Canadians stand up for Ourselves!!!

The media sides with anybody who criticises Trump, the president knows what hes doing, look at what the chinese did to our granite construction products, dump cheap crap to put our ppl out of business, Canada does this as well, you have to explore things between the lines, why is Trudeau spreading fear if this wasnt going to benefit our country?

Looks to me like the tariffs have worked - Canada has started to cooperate

To all Americans, this is not personal but we are going to fight Trump's Tariffs with everything we can muster! We will take financial pain and deprive ourselves of AMERICAN products we love! Look at WW2 and you will see Canadians never give up! We almost never pick a fight but if forced, we will fight till the end! We stopped Fentanyl cold and your President ignored it because his agenda is to drive Canada to financial ruin, so we ask to be a state! Mark these words well Canada will never ever become the 51st state of the USA! This is not our of anger or distain! No, it is the quiet patriotism and love of country that Canadians have that we choose to remain Canada ,and always will! I ask facetiously; would you Americans like to become a Province of Canada? I didn't think so!

Trump thinks he going to be in the land forever but God is looking everything ..God bless Canada

This is HEARTBREAKING, because Trudeau is speaking to EVERYONE like a leader SHOULD!!! He left NO doubt how much he cares about his fellow citizens, and that their government will help them as much as they can!! \nThis is what AMERICANS dream about, a leader that cares about us!!! We wish and pray that our leader looked and spoke like that!!! \nCANADA is showing the WORLD what TRUE LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE!!! It's HEARTBREAKING for ALL the Canadian and American people that are gonna feel the pain, and NOT the BILLIONAIRES that are INTENTIONALLY hurting ALL Americans. \n\nI had a tear in my eye, because of the overwhelming pride I had for Canada and Trudeau!! \nAmericans are hanging their heads in embarrassment!!! \nGo Canada!!????\nGo Ukraine!!????

According to Ritter Ukraine has already signed over rights to rare earth to UK. There was an article in a Czech newspaper talking about this leak. \nIs this why Starmer won't stop. \nWell some analyst believe UK is on the precipice of collapse. I agree.\nI believe the #1 priority of Trump is the US dollar and BRICS competition.\nUS plan to address $34 Trillion debt is to digitize the countries assets. Ex. Anwar, national parks, Infrastructure etc. This is the reason for the new land grab (aka resources grab) . The ones with the resources rule. China has known this for at least 20 years \nThink of the U.S. valuated as a investment ie. look at their balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. \nSimple valuation assets-liabilities=equity\nTaking this type of valuation $34 Trillion debt is peanuts.\nNow apply similar analysis to England.\nNo assets , little industry (aka income) or cash flow. \nI know many want a true multipolar world but I think it will be more spheres of influence dominated by China, US, Russia. The supper powers are positioning for the resources. The world has changed. \nI think the US Democrats will organize to harass Trump and his initiatives in an attempt to take back Congress in the midterms. Their only option. Going to get very nasty. (Harris poll from last weekend Trump favorability 58%)\nNow for Trump's tariffs . They are working already. Several tech companies have announced new factory plans for US. It all relates to Corporate Income taxes. It's about transfer pricing where they pay no Corporate income taxes in US.\nTransfer pricing For example:\nApple iPhone manufacture an iPhone in China for $300. They sell it to an Apple subsidiary call it Apple international located in a low tax or no tax domicile for $300. So No income tax. Say they sell it to Apple USA for $700 . No taxes owed by Apple international . Apple USA sells it in US for $700. Bought it for $700 = no taxes owed. BUT APPLE CLEARED $400 CASH. \nThat's with no tariffs. Now with 20% tariffs on China , the iPhone full import price $700 (sale price). is taxed(tariffs) x 20% = $140. Trump wants 20% corporate rate extended and ultimate 15% corporate rate. Most all the overseas US mfg might come home to moma. \nI would advise Trump to selectively wave tariffs on some items like lumber from Canada and food from mexico. As for oil from Canada I think Trump will let Chevron develop and buy heavy oil from Venezuela. If not might have to wave/reduce tariffs on Canadian diluted bitumen oil.

I’m also a veteran and voted for Trump.. I stand with the USA not Canada.. don’t have problems with Canada but I support my president and trust in what he is doing.. give him a chance… if he doesn’t do what he says and doesn’t make America great again will vote him out… look at all the previous president clowns in office. I am loyal to my country. I bleed United States no matter what.. I may not always like what has happened shot look at Biden but I’ll never side a with another country i pledge my allegiance to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ??

I'm an American citizen. trump is not my president . He is a orange boy looking for red dog comminst love. china russian or north korea. Sorry Canada ?? trump musk sucks comminst ass.... I love Canada ??. Thank you for your time and videos.

Let's look at the facts!!!!! There's a zombie apocalypse going on in all cities in Canada right now!!!! Is anyone buying this bullshit???

I dont get it why the Americans think that we should even have to spend as much as they do on military...the whole world literally despises them and is actively trying to think of a way to attack them, but it is a much different story when it comes to Canada. Im pretty sure 911 was an attack on United States, an event that Canada did not have to involve itself with, but guess what? We did. We lost our own brave countrymen and women in order to come to the aid of the United States. Maybe the next time they want help they should look elsewhere. We were also there fighting in world war 2 way before the Americans decided to show up as well.

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

You cant argue with a well thought out, sensible, and honest message. Bravo Canada! I speak for the vast Majority of Americans when I say that we value your friendship and look forward to a healthy and prosperous relationship moving forward.

This guy is a part of the whole freaking problem. Just look how bad Canada is doing.

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

Anti American!!! Breaking up with America - Wow so biased CNN...in your president's eyes, fake news! Let's get real -American CNN...look at the facts!!! Peovide the facts...describe the facts ..Canada have provided the facts...shame on you where is your moral courage? A wasted college education here - selling yourselves to the devil- shame on you CNN\nLet's watch on world and see how this American debacle unfolds. Having aid that I love the American people ...they must step up!

When Canada makes the US look like the immature, dangerous, foolish country that we are. What an absolute embarrassment….

Trudeau did Canada Proud, trump looks more and more like the LOOSER he is!

Looks like another north korea has formed, sorry canada

Trudeau‘s response doesn’t look anything like somebody that wants to work with us. He just turned a tariff that was aimed at creating some equality behind our trades into a trade war not Trump we will own Canada soon enough now because of Trudeau’s terrible response

Oh look Governor of Canada has speaking

I’m disgusted by Trudeau as soon as he opens his mouth so I can’t listen to him - doesn’t matter if he makes sense (for once). Justin Trudeau is a criminal politician with no mandate. He is an elected dictator who won’t step down to further his personal narcissistic agenda. Even when he “resigns” he fails. Tariffs just make us pay more at the checkout - Trudeau is a lunatic. I have lost all faith in this so called “democracy” in Canada and I’m not completely opposed to a 51st state idea - it would be better once one looks beyond the Canadian pride and patriotism.

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

Our immature Canadian leader reacting emotionally, not professionally time to turn down the rhetoric. How about look for solutions and a long long over due, Canada supporting Canada first. \nShame on Canadian government for not marketing Canada and turning into a highly competitive nation. \nBy the way this is not a secure country!

I'm from Maine with a Franco American heritage. I am heartbroken today… remembering open borders between our countries, no passport required. I support Canada ?? and Canada's leadership looking out for their people.

Your lies do not make sense. Ukraine is looking for volunteers for the Russian front. We are not at Canada's mercy. Trump is not Biden.

Trump just made Trudeau just made Canada look like an ANGEL and the U.S. like DEVILS!! Well done!!!????
