Trudeau is on his way out, and he knows it. Canadians hate him. We all saw that change could come through elections. Make Canada Great Again.

I am fearful for what Trump wants to do here. We should never be provoking our border countries. Seems like an act of war. Also, guaranteed we need to work on addiction issues in our own country. Fentanyl doesn’t just come from borders. And I am sure Canada hasn’t enough crossing from their borders that is hurting us! F T rump!

Canada might cut off electricity to half the united states for a few hours as a demonstration and wake up call.

Can't wait now to hear tonight the criminal orange blob whining in short incoherent sentences about his problems and about how he's been unfairly treated.\nWhat a stark difference between an intelligent coherent leader and a narcissistic sociopath moron. Go Canada!!

I thought it was a reciprocal tax? Canada charges 25% so the US is charging 25%? Did i miss something?

Pay your debts, Canada. We will work on paying ours that our stupid politicians and bureaucrats have stolen and given to our enemies.

Very disrespectful speach. Calling trump dumb and calling him donald. This pipsqueek leader will harm his own economy. U.S can absorb the impact. Canada will go into recession

Shove it Canada!

I literally rebuilt our patio after The Oakfire. The lumber used.....ftom canada. ❤ Thank you canada

GO CANADA . . . tell it like it is!!! . . . Drumpf and his cult are an existential enemy.

Don’t tariffs raise prices for your people. Why would Canada want this?

suck it sideways canada, bunch of crybaby liberals that rely on daddy AKA the UNITED STATES

We should NEVER be in ANY sort of warfare with Canada, a country I love as if it were my 2nd home. This breaks my heart.\nLove yall.\nIm sorry and embarassed. I used to be proud of my own country. Its very hard to feel pride right now.\n-USA

I hope your viewers note that the majority of illegal guns and most of the Cocaine coming into Canada all cross the US Border, where are the US actions to stop these items coming into our country?

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

American here, we stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe! Not Russia. PLEASE STOP TARIFFS

He hates you trudeau, get put of canada before someone takes you out , your an imbecile and 100 percent of Canadians want you out . I thought you resigned, you have no place in canada. Get lost

Very sad day, huge mistake. Canada doesn’t deserve this?

As a Trans Non binary French speaking immigrant I stand with Ukraine and Canada and can’t believe hitler trump is putting tariffs on my non binary needles I need for my Fetynol addicted child…

I guess Trump is doing something he wants to invade Canada

Trump also needs to remember this, Canada is a commonwealth country . They do not stand alone

Canada is such a nice neighbor, why are we treating them like this

lol cnn sux so does Canada Trump put 100 % tariff stop sending money to Canada stop protecting Canada…. 51st state…

Go Team Canada ????????????????

I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine!

Many americans might want to move to Canada because of Trump's authoritarian ambitions. Aligning with Putin, Trump will seek to learn more about how to be an effective dictator and kleptocrat.

From South Carolina, we love you Canada, Ukraine and Europe. Thank you for speaking the TRUTH on our behalf!❤❤❤

How come we are not seeing Americans stand against Trump the way other countries like Canada are doing

Hello Canada. Can I live with you please!!!

I'm a born Canadian and i'm BAFFLED at how you would turn around and impose tariffs on your closest ally. Canada and the US had a relationship that was built on trust co-operation and trillions of dollars and it means nothing to their current president. I used to be a fan of Trump, but the recent situation with Zelensky along with the tariffs i can see more and more that having him back in office was a huge mistake. Trump obviously doesn't care about how the tariffs affect his country and his people because he responded by threatening to raise the tariffs in retaliation to Canada's response.

His only mistake was saying Trump is smart lolll i support Canada

Isn’t this the guy that drove Canada into the ground and now you’re all cheering for him? Y’all are cooked

You know it’s bad when Canada set aside its hate of Trudeau for trump.

A tweet from Trump in 2018 is resurfacing. In it he says the new trade deal he demanded between USA - CANADA - MEXICO has 'great reviews' and Mexico and Canada will be 'wonderful partners in trade long into the future.' ?

Trump will watch this begin to fail, as Canada and Mexico stand up to his bullying, and he will proclaim border crossings have stopped and fentanyl has been eradicated! So he will cancel the tariffs and declare he was such a tough guy he made them adhere to his will. Trump is a master at getting ahead of the news cycle, all the while lying and FAILING. He ruins all he touches and brags about being a genius. He is a sick man.

Well, if what DT has done this to Canada, which essentially hurts American consumers, WHY is Trudeau doing the same thing to his Canadian citizens? ?

Dear Canada: I joke that I can see you from my patio. (A few trees & very cold lake in between) My apologies our government has treated our prized ally so poorly. My family & friends didn’t vote for this. - Wisconsin

As an American, I do not at all blame Canada’s response to trump’s irresponsible and embarrassing behavior. I know this will affect me, but I side with Canada completely. I just hope these next 4 years pass quickly and we can get a more reasonable administration into power.

In a few months from now, if these tariffs still exist and we will all be suffering, trump will try and blame canada, saying its our fault the tariffs are in place. Please remember that trump started it, not us!!

I’m so sorry Canada! ?? We love you! Trump sucks and JD Vance ?‍???????

?Thanks our PM Justin Trudeau ?? One of the greatest leaders in the world? Let's stand for Canada and EU together and stronger than ever! ?? ?? ?????♥️?

I am a US citizen and I stand with Canada and Ukraine. It is so validating to listen to someone who speaks the truth, a privilege we don't have in the USA. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau.

Canada = America light

Wow, Canada has supported the u.s and stood by the u.s. trade helps both countries and its people I can barely afford, let alone now paying more

Trump acted on false information and fought with South African. As South African, I stand with Canada.

I Stand with Ukraine Canada Mexico and all previous Allies of the US before this Lunatic was voted into office!! I voted for Kamala!

I am so sorry that my country and our president has done this horrible move! Not everyone believes that he knows what he is doing! We love Canada and this is truly a horrible decision.

Tariffs will make Canada Stronger and America Weaker.

I believe. Working together. Been friends usa. And canada. Trump we door have big drug problem and soo meny coming in. Cross with. Nothing. Crime has double. Rent soo high. Work. Together. Please. Clean up

As an American. This is trump and his cult. The American people stand with Canada
