Trump wants WWIII and wants to be to put the U.S as part of the losing axis of evil with Russia and North Korea. Trump is an enemy of the United States.

Trudeau you're a PM and when you disrespect the president publically you disrespect America, so you have no right to address the American people. You don't know how to handle politics and thats why your own people have verbalized that they want you gone! Your lack of respect for the President and the United States is what put you and your country in this situation in the first place. Tou're leaving out on a low. Humble yourself and sit down and talk to the President, and address him as such, and he'll cut you a deal, and you can gain back some dignity. Otherwise, stop complaining to the world community. You look weak!

Today is 25% Trump Tariff Day.\n\nThis was brought on by our own government.\n\nTrump explained that Canada treats the US unfairly and have been taking advantage of them for a long time. \n\nHere is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods:\n\n⁃ Dairy Products:\n⁃ Milk: 270%\n⁃ Cheese: 245%\n⁃ Butter: 298%\n⁃ Poultry: 238%\n-Eggs: 163%\n⁃ Barley: 160%\n⁃ Wheat: 94%\n⁃ Sugar: 265%\n⁃ Peanut Butter: 295%\n⁃ Rice: 150%\n⁃ Vegetables: 100%\n⁃ Fish Products: 100%\n⁃ Lumber: 20%\n⁃ Shoes: 30%\n⁃ Cocoa: 30%\n⁃ Metals: 25%\n⁃ Wool: 30%\n⁃ Tobacco: 100+%\n\nTrumps responsibility as the President of The United States of America is to the American people. Not us.

Respect and support to Canada from Baltic states.

As a citizen of the United States, I stand with Canada. I am from Michigan and don’t want my home gas going through the roof. I didn’t vote for the damn racist dictator. I am for human rights. I don’t agree with Trump!!!!!!!! Good speech Trudeau. Keep standing up to the bully.

Clown Trudeau's been colluding with China for years. He sold Canada out to Xi and CCP, and these Canadan dummies still support him and wonder why their country is in turd state and somehow blame Trump. ?

I guess it's politics Mr. Trudeau.\n\nA PM who protects and harbours Khalistani Terrorists for political reasons is surprised Trump is making policies for his political reasons ... \n\nTrudeau has reduced Canada to the impoverished 51st state of the US ??.

Mr Trudeau, first time I’ve seen you give an intelligent speech. But as I see it, you have been bad overall for the country of Canada. Why don’t you accept Donald’s offer to be the 51st state of America? After all, as I understand it, Canada lives off the USA as it is. Why not be a part of something greater?

What Trump is doing is collecting money from these tariffs, while at the same time bringing certain industries back to the United States. These tariffs will not be permanent but will remain for a certain period to encourage companies to relocate. He runs his country like a business, he doesn’t care if there are job losses elsewhere.\n\nCanada and Mexico will have to adjust and start becoming less dependent on the United States. It will be difficult for Canada because we are a consumer country, we manufacture almost nothing. TSMC is moving to the U.S., his plan is working, and other companies will follow.\n\nHere in Canada, we import a huge amount of American products. We absolutely need to change our habits, we should not support a country that wants to see us fail.

Look at some of your states they look like Third World countries we want no part of that. America is falling apart and nobody wants anything to do with you guys anymore. ?

I live in this godforsaken joke of a country and I've been unemployed for OVER TWO YEARS despite having a degree, 5y experience, and a willingness to move literally anywhere for work. The economy is DEAD. We are SCREWED. Annexation is unironically the only way I see that we can get out of this unless we want to turn into a failed state.

The Canadian government attacked its farmers who didn’t want to depend on the United States, and its citizens supported the dictatorial government. How quickly they forget!

???⛽???The Canadian government attacked its farmers who didn’t want to depend on the United States, and its citizens supported the dictatorial government. How quickly they forget!????

I'm ashamed to say that our president is an absolute traitor to our allies and to its people. Somehow his cult followers were able to get him back into office instead of prison. Now all of us are having to suffer please do not lose faith we will figure out a way to get rid of the Trump regime once and for all as well as Elon Musk were so sorry about what they've done there will be payback for them for many levels just know that the United States people love Canada always have always will one of our greatest allies and our good neighbor. Sorry about Donald Trump he's a prick

For all the people across the world stating their support for Canada: join us in boycotting all American goods! Better to take the extra time and pay the extra dollar now than to wait for your country to be next!

FYI, Canada's population is *less* than the state of California. No one cares about Canada's Governor. Carry on ?

Whoa the fuck just say Trump and maga group not the united state. We for sure are not with Trump nor we'll never be with Russia so just say Trump and maga group Mr. Trudeau I voted for Trump to be impeached

All non MAGA Americans should also boycott liquor from red states to show our solidarity

Donald trump Is just bullying the Canadian And and doing a friendly extortion He don't know how to run a government He should get out of office Canada stands strong God bless Canada And the citizens of United States Donald White house

As a Canadian we should take our goods elsewhere where, build pipeline to the east and keep our oil and tell the states to pound sand

My family has been in America before it was the United States ( since 1738 ). The person that was elected our president is an embarrassment to us and our friends. We stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Trudeau's words are smoke and mirrors a bit imo. Liberals will go forward with an additional 20% carbon tax dispitie the tariffs occurring. Trump isn't the only one that is harming Canada in one way or another. Trump is forcing Canada to do better with our borders and crisis's that had not been addressed quickly enough. We (Canada) allowed these issues to get out of hand and it took another country to tell us that we needed to do better because the issues affect them as well. I'm stating facts here and now we Canadians will suffer for all of it.

Canada has been acting as part of US for years, taking orders from the US regardless of Canadian interest, for example arresting Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou per US order. Why not agree to become the 51th state of the US?

USA ?? Became New State of RUSSIA

The traitors in the Whitehouse along with all Republicans are doing this to destroy the United States for Russia and Putin

Clearly Canada didn’t do enough until pressure was put on them by Donald Trump, JT even states in this speech that there has been a vast improvement since DT asked Canada to up its game. They are now pulling their weight so perhaps the tariffs will be dropped after all. Canada has been a freeloader for far too long.

I think as an American that likes Canada to a certain point agro tourist spots there a little too isolated with there tiny bridges to get in and there pathetic security at there borders so maple syrup will be more expensive it just means the rest of the states that produce syrup will profit more we as Americans can do without the business of canada but Canada cant go without American support can survive with out Niagara Falls nope

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

It must be said. Putin in 3 years did not conquer Ukraine, but in 3 weeks he subdued the United States and without sacrificing a single soldier

Very straightforward condemnation against the Trump administration on these tariffs. Trump is looking for trouble at the expense of the citizens without thinking about the welfare of the people. Trump wants to bankrupt Canada because it has ample resources and Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. It is quite impossible to bankrupt Canada because it can always expand its international trade to other countries, like Europe, etc. Do not tolerate the bully. Salute to Trudeau for being honest to confirm that there are no winners in this stupidity.

Man this governor of the United States 51st state talks big shit for such a small man child

Trump's making everything much better for us. Citizens of the United States ??

Such a contrast to what we just heard at the USA state of the union….if only we had an intelligent, sane leader…

Zelenskyy the puppet clown ?, disrespectfully has crossed the line of decency\n by being loud, interrupting, and with very rude high hand gestures \ntowards the president of United States of America☹️\nWhat a junkie clown?, He's going to learn it the hard way very soon ☹️\nA comedian puppet clown ? who still thinks that he is a real leader ???\nWait for it junkie \nCheers ????

I am a 72 years of female who lives in Canada with very strong American roots as I came here when I was 46 years of age. I have to say that what is happening between the United States of America and Canada breaks my heart. I have always known that Canada and United States of America worked and got along with each other all my life. Yes, my heart is broken for the Americans and the Canadiens who will suffer because of this trade war that President Trump started. Prayers for both countries.

Trump wants our minerals that is why he wants us as 51st state, he wants to hurt us so we will give in.

Canada is sovereign country belongs Royal Majesty of UK, if Trump’s annex Canada like state, Trump already ask permission of Royal Majesty? \nThis attitude of Trumping is great disrespectful of Canadian and Royal Majesty of UK?? .

I think Trump is creating alot of unnecessary tension between these countries. I think alot of Canadlians are deterred from going to the states for shopping or vacations now.

This is ridiculous, a fairy pm Turude, trying to attack the United States, the Canadian people want to join the United States as 51 state,

Canada England France Poland Germany NATO please please please please please liberate us here in the United States from dictator Trump

Justin Trudeau is the governor of America's 51st state Canada

❤️??❤️ I truly hope anyone who thought that Trump cares for any but himself may now see that he does not and will not be doing any of you any good. His mental state is extremely unstable. The simple fact that he wants to partner up with Putin should be a big eye opener. ❤️??❤️

I’m glad to see they, the Prime Minister & Doug Ford, is also teaching the red states (MAGA voters) some hard lessons here.

UNITED STATES ?? HAS REGAIN ITS POWER ? ? ? ALL ELSE BOW DOWN

Putin is not dictator…. It’s you and NATO who is dictating the world… that’s why people are supporting Trump/JD …’coz Russia and USA are fighting against deep state and shadow government..

51º American state

51st state is not cooperating US of America ?

I stand with Canada on this one. American/British citizen here in state of Idaho.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

The US government is a circus of evil, bigoted, robber baron clowns. It's insane. Canada, please accept California. California gov, please join Canada, or at least secede from the MAGA States of Elon's Company T̶o̶w̶n̶ Country.
