Man, this is kinda scary. I would never say anything like this but Canada is our closest ally.

We have been subsidizing Canada for many years. Gotta pay your fair share.

Canada, just join the EU. We are happy to have you as one more member of our family

Trust me a lot of drugs are coming from South America there are many Central and South American going to Canada and shipping it this way to the United States of America

Mr. Trudeau.. I wish you hadn't stepped down as PM. You're a noble leader for Canada.

Trump speaks two languages. Dumb and Dumber!\nThank you Canada! Many of us stand with you. Hoping we can remove Trump soon and get back to fair trading with our great neighbors!

Can we trade presidents Canada ? plzz just for like a month because he is a real president unlike somebody we know over here in America

Canada needs to stop living off of the United States the bleeding of money and military support has to stop

The response of Trump will be : Trudeau is a nasty man ! \nTrump is unable to complete a sentence ! Peace for our ailles Canada from France ?

This US Citizen will always love our allies, especially Canada, no matter what Trumplets do to destroy the USA!!

I'm an American who is terrified of the future. I stand with Canada and the rest of the world. I pray that this will end before we are completely destroyed.

We love Canada

As.an American, Canada I support you. Trump's an absolute idiot

I am 100 % on Canada's side. Greetings from Finland. ??❤

Go Canada. We have lunacy and insanity here in the US. Trump is a traitor.

British…..Canada over USA every time go Canada go

Canada's response to America's tariffs under Trudeau is a masterclass in balancing diplomacy with pragmatism. While the U.S. pursues a protectionist agenda, Canada stands resilient, leveraging strategic countermeasures and asserting its sovereignty. Trudeau's approach is not just about retaliating in kind; it’s a nuanced display of commitment to fair trade and a reminder that economic interdependence cannot be taken for granted. In a world where global relations are increasingly volatile, Canada’s measured response signals both defiance and cooperation, leaving the door open for a future where both nations can find common ground amidst the tension.

I would add the well being of the WORLD depends on what Canada and others do to stand up to Trump's bullying.

Republicans sure like Russia, but not Canada. Weird

Thank you, Canada Prime Minister. This is a sad day for all of us. \nBut someone has to stand up to Trump, who is a bully, racist, Bigot, Natzi.

Australian here. I stand with Canada

yon dont have right to advise us as a american citizens here @ ?? america we are american people who choose president trump he’s not forcing you dont sending your product in america without tax that they called it tariffs !! ??? canada president no free @ all !!

How it feels when some European countries didn't support Gaza? \n\nNow this is first time in history to see that how US has ditched Europe and Canada.\nThis will lead to New type of World order, in which Global South will get more benefits than Global North. \nAnd China will be greatest beneficiary among global Soth countries.

As a German, I would say I would be happy to have Canada in the EU...????? the blond in the White House is setting the whole world on fire. Alliances that existed for decades... kicked in the ass... sad... especially as a neighbor like Canada

GO Canada. GO China. GO Mexico. Bring America to its knees. Let Trump know that you will not be bullied. Let Americans freeze, starve, and crawl in the streets. We don't want Trump. He is destroying our country. Biden was bad, but Trump is awful.

BRAVO CANADA!

I am so proud of Mr. TRUDEAU, I am an American and retired veteran and so sick of our Administration doing this to Canada and Mexico. I served with some great Canadians from NATO BACK IN 1998-2000. IT’s so sad to see this happening today.

Since we here in the USA created this mess and can't seem to deal with the orange buffoon and his narcissistic nonsense, I think it is up to Canada and Mexico and Europe to try reigning him in somehow. I don't think they can succeed, but we can hope. We're barely 6 weeks into this. It's going to be a long 4 years.

It’s time to bring the team back together Canzuk. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

Full support to canadian people but not these 3 jokers. what trump is doing is not good, even india is not acting like this when bangladesh is operating like a rabid dog, however what real canadians should understand is that their country's current situation is because of this 3 jokers. Canada should appoint leaders that has atleast some basic understanding of geopolitics. Look at india right after meeting trump last week it has signed several deals with the EU, and even finalizing FTA with it by the end of this year. There was suppose to be a FTA with canada aswell but these jokers supported criminal illegals from india which india wanted back to face justice but these jokers defended those guys and even threatened indian diplomats, so even now you guys have time, exercise your democratic power and throw these three boogers and illegals out of your county. And plese don't overuse marijuana before the election day because its a very important day for you guys.. you guys need to be atleast 60% concious when you cast your vote, because i fear some of you might vote the wrong person After that enjoy your weed as much as you like. BEST of luck my canadian friends?

Its incredible what is happening. After humiliating Zelensky , saying that he didnt want peace (not true), now Trump starts a trade war with Canada. It's so insane. Its like Trump follows Putin, or like they are allies in destroying the world. Is this the way to make America great? Its already a nightmare.

Trudeau should have been proactive in the first place. Canada had put tarriff on other countries in the first place. They even did not sell our oil in the first place when saying no business case. Just to please his socialist minister. When trump was not in power this man went at trump the entire trump. \n\nTrudeau is lying to his teeth. \n\nThe fentynal crisis in canada is alot more worse \n\nFew months ago the had the biggest drug bust in Canadian history which could kill the entire Canadian population.\n\n\nI dont trust trudeau at all.

Nothing but respect for Canada

Merci Canada ??

From Portugal : I wish so so much to have a prime minister like this. Congrats Canada. Stay strong

Ha ha. Canada is gone.

Imagine if the United States had a president as sensible as Canada's. \nImplement 100% tariffs on Tesla.

As a Californian, I'm hoping Canada will beef up their tariffs on the red states that voted for this idiot in the White House. What a shame.

canada is the nest for criminal thieves and corrupted element immigirated from other nations

From Denmark; When your country imports 20% of the country's electricity consumption, 50% of the country's oil consumption, and 90% of the country's gas consumption from Canada, then it is quite unintelligent to start a trade war with Canada.

Every sane American should support Canada! Trump is an abomination.

Mad respect for Canada ❤️

From England admiring Canadas response.This is a time for the UK , Europe , Canada ,Mexico etc to free themselves as much as possible from the US and build stronger ties economically , militarily and diplomatically until this administration is long gone

Sweden stand with Canada! Thank you so much for fighting for what is right! ???

I am so ashamed of my own country. This is not my president. And I'll never vote for another Republican again. I'm so sorry, Canada. I stand with Canada.

If I could resist cold weather, I would move to Canada. ??

Canada should pay taxes on our products as well.

Once a blessing, now a curse. Who wants the Americans on their side these days? Putin suffers from the same problem as Canada and the EU are: Every 4 years America's policy can radically turn against you.

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

This is a pretext to invade Canada. Your border had better be more than safe. Fentanyl is a subterfuge, Trump wants your land to then have access to your resources and the Arctic. Trump and Putin have an agreement, and Canada and Greenland are not a part of it. You are a pawn to be taken to achieve those aims.
