Prime Minister Trudeau, you are wrong about 1 thing. donald trump is not smart. he is a TOTAL dumbass! You were probably trying to compliment him since he only responds well to those who kiss his feet, but don't do it. We Americans know what he is, know this is ALL his doing and think Canada is great!

Retract the Carbon tax immediately in Canada. Dah. Put a 100% tariff on Tesla.

I stand with Canada and if the USA now thinks it’ll find better friends than Canada and the UK, well, good luck with that… ???????

This makes me want to cry. Canada, do what you need to do.

Canada must become a state. ??

I hope EU steps up massively and stand by Canada in these trying times. ?? ?❤️??

Open it to Canada, US doesn’t matter anymore!

Don’t be stupid Trudeau, Trump doesn’t care immigration or Fentanyl from Canada, he wants to finish Canadian economy and invade your land

Brazilians also support Canada!

Canada, please just focus on your refugee crime first. and Chinese raising real estate price. that is number one problem. stop using tariff to cover up bad leadership led Canada to today’s crisis. tariff will only affect little bit but crime and rocket high house price.

I am proud to be in Canada, and I will stop purchasing anything in the USA. I had plans to visit the USA, but I have changed my MIND. CANADA ?? ?

All of Great Britain and Europe stands with Canada. KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD. And that is not America.

Canada is and will be perfectly fine ✅

As a Canadian yes it will hurt us. But you news anchors gloss over the fact that canada is only being hit by the US, whereas the US is being hit by everyone you keep picking fights with. The US will be affected majorly by each country you lose favor with. You may be big and powerful, but you didn't get there alone.

Starting to fall in love with Canada

I have a hard to believe that Trudeau, will stand witch Canada. I still remember the protest with the truck drivers.\nHe fled, and also froze their bank accounts.

Trump Administration doesn't care about America... I stand with Canada and Ukraine

What a great speech. This is exactly what Canada has to do. You can't back down from bullies. You have to confront them.

Canada needs to understand that they don’t hold a leg to stand on. Put a trade embargo on Canada! We don’t need Canada. Canada will collapse!

I’m in US and it’s so bad here, I can’t believe ppl voted for Trump. So PROUD OF U CANADA ??

Canada stay strong! From Texas, USA. I wish you were our President!!!

Trump is only imposing the tariffs because Canada will not stop sending deadly drugs into the US.

Don’t listen to this fool…Trump set tariffs so Mexico and Canada stop importing fentanyl chemicals from China. \nTrudeau is an idiot.

The tariffs will hurt Canada much more than America. Any rational thinking person knows this. Our Canadian stores will be empty and what is in them will double in price. You may not like to hear this, but you know that this is true.

Canada we love you! Greetings from Germany, please come to us to the EU. Herzlich Wilkommen, ihr seid herzlich eingeladen. Lasst du gute Verträge abschließen und wieder auf Verlässlichkeit und Ehrlichkeit setzen. ?✌️

It’s going to hurt a lot more Americans than Canadians 100% it’s time for Canada to start looking for new partners.

Our American government is pointing the finger at where the supply of fentanyl is coming from, but it does absolutely nothing to decrease the demand. The demand is OUR fault. We Americans LOVE drugs, and Trump should be blaming the American people, not Canada, Mexico, or China.

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

From Canada to all the good Americans that don’t support trump. We still love you and will have beers with you again soon. Good luck it’s going to suck for all of us. Dump trump.

I love the way he just said Make that make sense.. maybe I should move to Canada as a veteran I am very embarrassed by this stupid dumb shit president

I hope Canada don’t think we care or need anything from them?

If trump doesn’t stop his unjustified and stupid tariffs war, Canada, Mexico and other counties will crash and crush USA’s economy. It will take years for USA to recover if trump stay in place. The world will isolate USA.

So they want us to continue to pay more when we were already paying more than them. So when we want to make it more fair for us Canada is now going to throw a hissy fit. How about making it fair Canada

Canada should ban US ownership in Canada

Trump is looking for an excuse to go to war, so he is escalating. He wants to invade Canada the same way Russia attacked Ukraine for the Black Sea and argicultural land. The US is now communist, not Marxist, but in the lane of Stalin and Putin. Wake up America, you are becoming the bad guys. You are aligning with the Axis powers.

Shut up Canada it hasn’t been fair

is it true Canada puts tariffs on us, if so how high

Canada is not stupid, as always

Good job Canada!!

TURDOW NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED ..... CUT ALL FUNDING TO CANADA THEN !!!!

Hate to be that guy, but Canada needs to up their military and send more troops to the border. They are way under the 2% years after the agreement and they don't have enough people on the boarder to catch anyone to know how much drugs or terrorists are coming through their border. They're preying on your lack of knowledge

Canada is a country of 40 Million. The US is a country of 330 MILLION . Canada will lose bigly in a trade war so they should swallow their pride and cut a deal asap

American people stand with our friend Canada sorry we have a president that don’t care about no one but himself always keep in mind. There are Americans here that don’t think with the same mine as him.?

Two possibilities, one he is doing Putin's bidding and destroying the USA. Two he is trying to weaken Canada to the extent that he can take them over and absorb them into the US.

Send your taxes to Canada. Canada, offer to buy the US.

From Belgium: I stand by you Canada and hope that Canada and EU grow closer together.

Loser..stop canadas tariffs against the US..

Demonstration of freedom when you don't have to win another election! Truth par excellence! Bold and justified. South Africa stand by Canada... and everyone vs USA.

Trump is using US power to threaten countries for their rare earth minerals. If Ukraine falls to Russia, Trump loses the minerals, If Europe can stave off a Ukrainian defeat, Trump loses the minerals. Canada has threatened to use its mineral wealth in the upcoming trade war and Trump loses the minerals.\nTo America's shame it has the wealth to trade for these minerals without resorting to threats and belligerence.

As a Canadian, I encourage viewers to understand that PM Trudeau was turfed out by his own party and has ZERO credibility, despite his parading around the globe as if he is still Prime Minister of Canada. Our problem in Canada, is a complete lack of vision and initiative on the part of our political leadership, going all the way back to the years of Reagan and Mulroney.
