AND HELP UKRAINE FINISH THIS WAR THE TIME TO STOP ARMING THEM WAS THE BEGINNING NOT NOW WE WILL PAY DEARLY FOR NOT SAVING UKRAINE IT WILL COST US 200 X TIMES MORE IN THE LONG RUN ! MARK MY WORDS

Canada is a joke ?

Why is he so concerned about Americans? Isn't Canada getting the 25% tariffs also?

Standing with Canada from Australia. The only way to treat a bully is strength. Chapeau Prime Minister Trudeau

Trudeau literally resigned in an overwhelming unpopular vote…. But sure we’ll listen to you! Im not saying what we’re doing is right. But you sir have done a lot of damage to Canada.

Trump don't care He don't care about that. That's just the Trojan-horse. So you don't pay attention of what he's doing. He's just hurting, he's gonna hurt. The Americans first and definitely never going to get Canada. Because if we gotta do World War 3. Come on, we'll play the game. We'll put our cards on the table. Trump

CANADA CHARGES THE US 10-300% TARIFFS. WAKE UP PEOPLE

Respect to Canada ? stand up to Donald. PM Trudeau that is a 5☆ speech and resolution. Barbados ?? salutes you ♧

Oh well, I guess maple syrup will be more expensive now until Canada becomes the 51st state.

Putin despises Canada. Canada has the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world. Canada supports Ukraine. Trump works for Putin. Buckle up USA! You were warned.

Our president speaks in behalf of Americans! Good bye Canada & good bye Mexico adiós ?

From Canada, and reading the comments is truly heartfelt. Trudeau gets a pretty polarizing reputation in our country, but to know the world sees him as more reputable and more of a leader makes me proud to be Canadian and to stay positive in these chaotic times. Thank you

CANADA FIRST! The world will support your country... ??

In Canada, everyone except for Torontonians think he is a virtue signalling idiot

Canada and Canadians you're the luckiest bunch on the face of this earth. If trump didn't mess things up this early you might have elected maple maga and bonjour disaster. This trump blunder was a blessing in disguise. Never ever play with your cherished liberties and democracy by giving control of it to fascist leaning political party. Go Canada❤

Way to go Canada. ?

Stay strong Canada. Australia overwhelmingly supports you, Europe and Ukraine against the madness coming from the white house

Bravo for Canada and best wishes! Give Trump and his surrogates hell to save our international economic security and friendship!

If canada thinks they can keep up on technology without america, have at it.

Says the guy that destroyed Canada

I made it a point to buy Canadian Whiskey today in support of Canada and will continue to do so.

I have an idea-instead of Canada becoming the 51st state ( which is such a repulsive idea) Can the US become a province instead? \nWe need a leader like Justin Trudeau! ??

50% of the United States population thinks these tariffs are paid by Canada. WRONG! The American population pays this. Fact.

All those asked to be Americans and supporting Ukraine in endless war, why don't you all move to Canada or go fight for Ukraine. If you're not ready, just shut up with your bs, because all you do is talk and take no action.

FUCK YOU… pay the tariff… I like how they call tariffs a TRADE WAR… we don’t need Canada California has more ppl than Canada!

Canada has been taking advantage of our hospitality for a long time Elon musk saved us more in the last month then we will lose from them good riddance Trudeau

Autarky and Autocracy, Dicktatoes and Dickhead Economics, hand in hand.\nI urge Canada to seek maximum assistance from all those who LOVE Canada, Canadians, Canadian Products that have so benefitted this world of ours.\nAutarky never works - IT CANNOT STAND FOR LONG.\n\n1. North Korea (Juche Policy)\nNorth Korea's commitment to Juche (self-reliance) has led to severe economic stagnation and recurring famines, most notably in the 1990s, when an estimated 600,000–3 million people died due to food shortages.\nThe lack of trade and foreign investment has stifled technological progress and industrial growth.\nNorth Korea is now heavily dependent on China for food, fuel, and economic support despite its official autarkic stance.\n2. Albania under Enver Hoxha (1944–1992)\nHoxha's regime pursued extreme isolationism, severing ties with both the Soviet Union and China.\nThe economy collapsed due to lack of trade, modern technology, and external investment.\nBy the late 1980s, Albania was one of the poorest and most backward countries in Europe, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic goods.\n3. Spain under Franco (1940s–1950s)\nFrancisco Franco initially pursued autarquía after the Spanish Civil War, aiming to make Spain self-sufficient.\nThe policy resulted in economic stagnation, black markets, food shortages, and a declining standard of living.\nBy the 1950s, Franco was forced to abandon autarky in favor of liberalization and foreign investment, which led to the later Spanish Miracle of rapid economic growth.\n4. Argentina under Juan Perón (1946–1955)\nPerón aimed for economic independence through import substitution and state control of industries.\nInitially, Argentina benefited from post-war trade surpluses, but as reserves dwindled and industry struggled without external competition, inflation and inefficiencies mounted.\nThe economy ultimately deteriorated, forcing a shift back to trade and foreign investment.\n5. Maoist China (1950s–1970s)\nMao Zedong’s push for self-sufficiency, particularly during the Great Leap Forward, led to disastrous economic consequences.\nAgricultural mismanagement and isolationist policies contributed to the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), causing an estimated 15–45 million deaths.\nChina only saw major economic improvement after opening up to global trade under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 1970s.

I wish I lived in Canada. Thank God you have a strong leader.

First economic war then a military invasion. I believe the Americans are setting the stag for a ground invasion of Canada using the escalating trade war as a pretext for a real war. I think everyone needs to consider the possibility that Trump may in fact be an agent of Russia with a single mission to bring down the USA and her allies.

Well said. I support Canada and I will join Canada...

100% with Canada ??, from Poland ??, EU ??.

Europe stands with Canada against the US and Russia!!!

I can't bealive how dumb US liberals are, US literally has one of the highest reserve of oil and natural gas, US used to sell oil to Japan, India and many other countries when trump was last time in office but Biden distroyed that by banning the drill. 70% of import from canda to US is oil and natural gas which they don't need they just have to switch on those machines again which they already did and in few weeks they will not just ful fill their own need bul aslo start selling gas to Japan and India as trump promised in last meeting with them, and rest 20% import from Canda is electricity, they used to busy that electricity just to bypass the Paris climate aggrement of having green electricity, biden insted of building green electricity industry he choosed to buy those from Canada and last rest 10% left which is $15billion for economy like US this much money is peanuts and 30% tarrife on that will have nearly no impact.

Canada u have an actual leader (envious US citizen)

Thank you PM Justin Trudeau! You are the best! You should remain the PM of Canada to save it! Trump is said to be an asset of Russia. His actions prove beyond a shadow of doubt that there is credence to the accusations. Actions speak louder than words, they say!

AMERICAN HERE , I AM A DIEHARD REPUBLICAN BUT I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THE AMERICAN PSYCHO NAMED TRUMP , GO CANADA GO

Has Trump not considered the amount of fentanyl that is actually being produced right in his own country, same as in Canada and elsewhere in the world.

Support CANADA!!!!

Trump and his crooked administration are traitors and can’t be trusted. They are not protecting US citizens! There’s an internal coup in the US unfortunately. Protect your country Canada!

Anti trump American is total support of Canada here! Pro EU! Anti Putin! Get it out of the White House!

I see why Canada dislikes this man.

As a born and raised Canadian who is now American I am deeply sorry that the U.S. is doing this. I’m glad Canada is fighting back.

As an American I stand with Canada.

Dear Canada, we'll be fine. Respectfully, the great folks of America.

More drugs come into canada from the usa thats facts

As an American I am ashamed to be associated with people like donald. I'm backing Canada all day.

GOD BLESS PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU!!\n\nYOU MADE CANADA PROUD TODAY\n\n??????????????\n\nGOD BLESS CANADA \nTHE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ✝️✝️????????

I hope Canada doesn’t think we agree with Trumps ideas in any way. We should be working together with our fellow countries and standing proud.

Shut the hell up baby Canada, you can't win any kind of war agains the USA. You're GDP is lower than that of Texas's GDP. You're not in a possion to retaliate
