So let me get the straight we are now friends with the enemy.. and made our Friends the enemy.. Oh maga.. you definitely made America great again with this move.. the Israel move you made… Inspired more hate around the world which puts US citizens at risk… Great move on with that one… and the economy tariff bull ish.. made me loose 50 percent of investments… in less than 2 months… Just incredible

Trump is an utter moron … USA media supported his crap to give a simple narrative to would be ignorant voters to get trump in, simply because he’s news for their networks. The rest of the world are horrified that “Celebrity States of America” ?? is crumbling with awful integrity in the world…. ?

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

Things are getting out of hand. In just over a month the world has gone from being in an uncertain place with multiple wars etc into a very grave and dangerous place. And we all have MAGA and Putin to thank for this. Trump and Putin are in collusion. They want the same things. Putin wants control or not only Ukraine but Europe and Trump wants control of the America’s and Greenland , this is what is happening and we need to wake up before the world as we know it is no more?

? cnn and trudue don’t get it. Canada has been taking very little from us and expect the US to take a lot from them. It’s not equal trade. The left doesn’t really care about equality. This inequality has hurt America for decades, generations

These people who take fentanyl take no responsibility for giving drug dealers a reason to bring this drug into America! Instead of these ridiculous tariffs put money into helping these people get clean!!!

What i dont underatand is how i read so many angry posts like these on every news networks yet, how the hell did Donald Trump get elected???!! Or do we have so many gullible people in America who believed his lies and are now regretting voting for him?!

Trump will not stop at this! He already said that he wanted to replace IRS with ERS (External Revenue Service). Trump wants to replace Income Tax with Tarrifs !!\nYes! MAGA will laugh and say No More Tax for all Americans!\nThey don't know that America raised a total income tax of 3 Trillion Dollars annually. But America also spend 3 Trillion dollars on imports! So to replace Income Tax with Tariffs, America needs to apply 100% tariffs on ALL Imports from All countries around the world!\nSo prices on imported goods will be at least double in America! That will make people buy less. Imports will drop! So even with 100% blanket tariffs it will not raise 3 Trillion dollars for Trump!\nWhat's more? As America tries to make more things in America to avoid tariffs, tariffs will dry up and where does Trump get 3 Trillion dollars? ?

It is time for Canada to fully embrace China and India as suppliers and business partners. \nChina can supply nearly everything that America can, faster, cheaper and a far better product.\nAmerica is a dying Country, thier citizens for years have elected the very same kind of people into their Governments. Old Stale Egotistical people who have no concern but getting re-elected.

Who cares. America will be able to start a free trade deal with Putin and get all the raw materials they need from Russia.

I’m an Indigenous American here, I say if Canada was really our friend then they would understand that they have been taking advantage of our countries kindness for too long and it’s time they step up.. If us trying to do something good for our own country for one time instead of everybody else and it’s a problem like this then maybe we weren’t friends anyway.. That means u were only friendly bc u were taking advantage.. \nPlenty of other countries has decided to pick up their own slack and it’s time Canada and America and the other countries start focusing more on their own citizens.. \nThis man is ready to send Canadian soldiers to die in Ukraine right now for something that has nothing to do with them and now instead of negotiating an agreement it’s all about relation and hurting your own people to get back at others over something you took personally..\nI always liked Trudeau but if that’s how he feels about our country then that’s how we feel about his.. \nwe don’t care about Canada anymore except justing Bieber and Linus media group.. everyone else can go lol..

I am a canadian and half my family live in the US... we are not enemies but I am not alone in fearing what America is becoming and the direction it is taking in trade , geo politics and governing philosophy. \nthe people behind project 2025 are not rational old conservatives harking back to a by gone era, they are christian fundementalists enacting a plan to bring about the transformation of the US into a full blown christian theocracy. A christian version of the taliban. \nThe vast majority of Americans don't want this and I believe share my fears on the direction of the country... it'll be up to the corporate oligachs to decide how this gets settled and that should scare the crap out of everyone... because they just want chaos to make money, to profit and to self aggrandise and stride on the stage as power merchants ... they could not care less about the American people.\na time is coming that fits the orginal purpose of the second amendment ... let's just hope people are smart enough to know who to point them at...

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

I am beginning to like Trump's idea of Canada becoming part of the US. So that we could have the Prime Minister as the leader of the great America, and we get rid of the president and presidency altogether.

Lol this is hilarious. Keep crying because we Americans prop up your whole economy. Get wrecked . Lol Canada has done absolutely for the well being of America with allowing narcotics and illegal immigration . Your borders are only safe because AMERICA stands as a bullwork between your country and the majority of our hemisphere . Im sure this is done as a prep to annex Canada lol . Its literally a typical business hostle take over . It isn't going to hurt my feelings lol .

Nothing like hearing Castro Jr. lecture America. Get lost Bozo.

Just get rid of Donald Trump god dammit! America! Get rid of him!!!

Try and go up against America economically, you’re about to get your ass handed to you. You wouldn’t help protect our border until we threaten you with tariffs. Best of luck!

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

Wow in Canada they help their citizens!!! In America their citizens get shit on !!! Canada has class - America has none!!!

America this is how leaders communicate…….get it.

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

I support this more than Trump, and I'm sure the majority of Americans agree at this point.\n\nI can't stand the hypocrisy on immigration though. Canada has us as a buffer from a country desperate to get in, and they are still allowed to have very secure borders without getting flack.\n\nWhen America just doesn't want the faucet of immigration on full blast, we are the bad guys.\n\nThe Fentanyl excuse is absurd when it comes to Canada and the tariffs. It's a legitimate concern from the southern border. The northern border has never been an issue...

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

Who didn't see this gonna happen before November 4th, 2024? 77 million vote for this, knowing this was gonna happen. Whatever happened, I hope the 77 million enjoy the ride. You think things were bad before watch what the next 4 years gonna get you. Buck Up America ?? Let go for the ride

I could not be prouder of my Canadian ancestors and more ashamed of America now. This is not how you treat your friends and neighbors we will get what we deserve some not me elected a fool and Putin's puppet. We will all suffer for this and It is idiotic but the rich will not feel the pain so it might be time to move to Canada or Mexico where the have real leaders not puppets.

It has been less then 7 weeks and look at what Trump has already done... GTFO why you can Americans, it's a very good time to take an extremely long holiday!! \nThings are only gonna get worse, i can see the world turning away from the dollar and America's $36.22 TRILLION national debt becoming like the iceberg that sank the titanic, for the USA!

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

HOLD UP DONT THEY HAVE TARIFFS ON US ALREADY, TRUMPS IS ONLY DOING WHAT NO OTHER LEADER WOULDNT AS LONG AS THEY WERE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF! TRUMP DONT NEED ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICA BC HE PUTS US FIRST, HES TIRED OF US BEING DONE SHITTY AND THEN THEY WANNA GET UPSET WHEN HE PUTS ON THEM! CANADA TRUDEAU IS NOT VERY SMART, YALL NEED SOMEONE WHO PUTS HIS PPL FIRST BC HE ALREADY HAD 10% OF TARIFFS ON AMERICA AND THE OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL SO HES TRYING TO GET PPL HERE TO BUILD OUR OWN FACTORIES OR THEY CAN COME WITH THERE BUSINESS AND ITS A WIN WIN BUT I UNDERSTAND Y TRUMP IS DOING THIS 100%

President Trump can forgive Zelenskyy, but he should NEVER forgive Justin Trudeau, he’s the one who opened up the Northern Border and let all these millions of Illegal Indian nationals to the country! Also another major abuse, which gets unnoticed, is the TN (Trade Nafta) visa, every year nearly 50,000 Canadians (mostly, 95% Indians) moves to America and steal high paid American jobs. It’s high time to stop this abuse, Indians are using this short route to immigrate to the US, high time to put an end to it!

America here and I fully stand with Canada on their decision against the US. You get what you asked for, didn’t expect it? Then the US has to deal with it and people continue to suffer.

I can tell y’all dont play chess ♟️ Politics is just like a chess game with more pieces. This guy is about to leave office and when the next prime minister comes watch what happens ? this “trade war” is a bluff to make them do what we want, checker players ? no American nor Canadian will be hurt during this genius move ? look at Mexican president feeling the pressure that they coughed up 29 cartel members and they just got extradited to New York including one that killed a US DEA agent in 1985! With the threat of tariffs the Colombian president changed his mind about picking up his own people that crossed our border illegally instantly. He even sent his own planes ✈️ to get them. Our tariffs is to bring jobs back to America ?? and a major negotiating tool. Ya’ll confused Democrats in the comment section don’t even know what planet ? you standing on.

Trump is trying to end a war it’s not the same thing. We don’t need Canada if you haven’t been to America then you don’t know. We can make whatever you can make and better we can grow anything and more then you can just bc of regional weather. Canada is mad bc they make a lot of money off of us and trump is changing America and getting what it’s worth. America always pays more for imports and exports , why? and yet with out American people buying y’all’s stuff you your government will fall gotta keep last and for most gotta keep Canadian politicians payed as far as I know y’all haven’t had to worry about prices in y’all’s country. For years we have been paying more for stuff that should be made here or we pay less. Plain and simple we are getting what we are worth take it or leave. It will be funny when he cuts all exports from Canada it will take a little bit but we will compensate ans there gonna with they just took the 25% little saying over here is you never know what you got till it’s gon.

The ChiComs, working with their Liberal minions, have made sure that any election will be rigged. Trump is trying to save Canada because he will send Troops into Canada to eject the Chinese military. He wants to do it with laws by getting Canada to join the USA. If that does not happen, he will use the military to do it, and Canada will be seen as the enemy of the USA allied with China. Trudeau admitted that without the welfare the USA has been providing to Canada, your economy will collapse. The Bank of Canada is bankrupt. The Canadian dollar is about to collapse. How will you feel next year when you need two dollars to buy what one dollar buys now? And plan on having fewer dollars to start with because your carbon tax, your sales tax, your income tax are all going up. WAY up. This is what happens when you decide to compete with a USA that is unshackled. The USA can produce more of our own oil than we can use, and we will sell the extra to YOUR foreign customers cheaper than you can produce it. Then you will be BEGGING for a pipeline. So Trump invited Canada to become a member of the most successful and powerful union of sovereign states in history, something that even our own territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and all the others do not have. An invitation to be a bona fide member. Why do you think that is? Minerals? The USA has all the minerals we need. We have more oil, coal, and natural gas than any nation also, and we can produce and refine it cheaper than any country can. So Canada was invited to become a state so Trump could peacefully eject the ChiComs from North America. And did you accept? No. Did you say no thank you? No. You gave us the finger and said f&$k you to Trump. We hear you Canada. But now is not the time for pain, that comes later.

LMAO. We don’t need Canada for a damn thing. The reality is America has been getting screwed by every foreign country out there. Trump is laying it down and yall can stand the F by. America First. We don’t need any fertilizer from you, once Trump rolls back these bullshit EPA regs, America will boom. Adios Canada… LMAO.

Me again. I too have something to say to the Americans who are struggling. Let me ask you all something. What does a country really need to keep it going? The answer is people. With no people working to keep a country going. Then you can't really call your country a country. Let me sadly tell you this ladies and gentlemen. The America you loved and worked hard to sustain, is gone, gone and replaced by your president and his followers. America is now Trump's America. He has change everything that made your America free, peaceful and safe. And when or not you get it back. All of you need to make a decision. If you feel like your safety, life and wellness of your family is in real danger. Then if you can get out of America. Go to a country that you believe will help you and keep you and your family safe and well. Always put your families safety and health first. But if you Don't have the money or a car go leave? Then let me say. Keep fighting and don't stop fighting until this low life criminal and traitor is removed from power. I am praying for all of you who are struggling. Don't give in and don't give up.❤

AMERICA: One thing you guys may not grasp yet.... we may be nice, but we love a fight and when you come at some of us... you automatically come at ALL of us. To the MAGA people of america: F×#$ You. To the rest, we get its not your fault. ELBOWS UP!!!!! CANADA STRONG!!!!!!!!!! ?? ? ?? ?

We the South African given full support to Canada, we will all survive this in time. Our country is also targeted by America, and causing racial division but we chose to unite as SAns in protecting the country we all love. Oh God, how did we get here? ?

America, for your own sake, get rid of the orange buffoon.

Isn’t Trudeau a gay dude married to an old woman get him the f out the therrrrrrrrrr we’re taking all your shit America motha ffffftttruuucccaaaaa

Isn’t Trudeau a gay dude married to an old woman get him the f out the therrrrrrrrrr we’re taking all your shit America motha ffffftttruuucccaaaaa

It makes perfect sense because Donald Trump is a Nazi and a Nazi supporter that will turn the US into an axis power. As if our reputation wasn't bad enough now America will be the most hated country in the world and it's all thanks to Republicans and Maga Republicans who should now ALL consider themselves traitors to the flag. If you support Donald Trump you are a coward, a xenophobic sycophant, a bigot, a white supremacist, and as i stated earlier, a traitor. Treason is punished by death in some lands. The American people won't allow this dictator for long. Even if it causes a Civil War within our own country. Trump will not last a full 4 years in the Nazi House. The people will end up getting tired of it, and then Maga will know what it's like to fear for their lives. Its going to unfold terribly for our country and I hope all of our allies will forgive us after the Trump Nazi Regime is removed.

As an American we made our bed now we get to lay in it. God I hope America can unite again.

I don’t stand with anyone except the UNITED STATES Of AMERICA! But I want to make something very clear. We just went through 4 years of absolute hell with The Biden administration!! No way around it. And the democrats will do anything to make trump look bad no matter if it hurts our country or not. They simply hate the fact that the checks and the cross dressing and what ever nasty crap they spent our money on . They won’t talk about that! But what I want to know is why we aren’t saying ok Canada we spend trillions militarily protecting you. And the won’t even come up to the 2% on defense they lied about participating in. Why should we pay for everything then they want to tax us?? Should America not get something for protection of a country?? Why do we need to pay there bills? Why should we pay for a war we’re not in? Ukrainian war Americans pay?? No! Canada dosent defend themselves Americans pay?? Then when we tax them like they tax us they want to slap a gift horse in the mouth??

WOKE Trudeau does Not speak for all Canadians anymore..Get Out Stupid !!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA , GOD SAVE THE KING...UNITE THE COUNTRIES FOR A STRONGER FUTURE...

America will bring production and jobs back to America. There will be a bit of a sting getting underway but this is all for the better for America in the long run. American Made. Big companies are already moving in to manufacture in America to avoid Tariffs. It’s a new day. This is all to be an expected reaction from all.

America first!!!!! EVERYONE ELSE SECOND. America has floated the bill long enough. Nothing you have we don’t already have. We are tired of ebt we are tired of putting other countries first. I am tired. Trump get it done.

All I got to say is Canada you better get this piece of ? out of power while you still have a country he is absolutely destroying your country time for America to make shit fair period Tredou needs imprisoned facts

Can't Americans impeach Trump as not fit to lead? Because a lot of his decisions lately is not making making America great again. He destroying it from the inside and not supporting Ukraine for their freedom, making Ukraine great again and for their independence as country. Makes the decision very un-American. Don't get me wrong, I like the American people, but Donald Trump has got to go...?

Lying murderous dictator - yup, that pretty much sums up who America is getting into bed with.
