Its already have an impact. A lot of canadian compagnies stop hiring since january and some lay off as well. So even its only the begining they have been a lot of change.

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

As a Canadian, there are lots of issues I disagree on when it comes to our PM, but he bodied this speech.

America we Canadians are upset with Trump and his criminal group running your country into the ground. We only have did our best for decades to be a rock for you…We don’t want this unfortunate situation but we will not bend the knee to Trump! If you really have that patriotism you have pounded your chests for decades as the best democracy in the world then show it! Right now we see a lot of talk and no action towards a criminal dictator Russian sympathizer

It’s not lost on a lot of us that the Canadian PM cares more about American families than the lunatics running Washington right now do. The Trump tariffs are shameful.

“We will stand up for Canadians” by spending lots of Canadians taxes.

I see a lot of traitors in here in the comment section praising Trudeau and siding with Canada. I am neither American nor Canadian but in times like this you should stand with your fellow countryman.

As a right winged proud Canadian ???? There's not a lot I'll say in favor of our Prime Minister, but today JT nailed it!!!

A lot of the support doesn’t come from born Canadians… just saying.

I have heard and seen Canadians get upset with Trudeau but they should be proud of him. Trudeau is a gentleman very professional and he is actually sane. Trump has a lot of loose bolts up there. The worst thing a leader can do is, betray their allies. Trump is a traitor!

He is a good president, he is very kind, he is compassionate, he has done a lot of good for all Canadians. I would not like him to resign. I would like him to continue in the country as President of Canada.

Canadian here. There's a lot of people in Canada that don't like Trudeau for a lot of reasons, but with the recent events I think the majority of the country has come to tolorate him a little while longer until we get a new Prime Minister. Trumps actions have only united the Canadian people.

Next steps, Leave Nato, and then invade Canada. What could possibly go wrong? Message to Trump: Canadians actually have lots of guns. Trudeau didn't get them all!

Prime Minister, please, I implore you, reconsider stepping down. I know it is a lot to ask, but just one more term? Canadians need you right now more than ever, not only Canadians but the World. This is just the beginning. I am not giving in, but this egomaniac will not stop. We need experienced, ethical leaders. You are the best , although our wonderful Jacinda came close (yes, I live in New Zealand), but am a Canadian through and through, this action from the States has me feeling the need to come back and roll up my sleeves to help fight with my Country. So proud, am I to be a Canadian, your words are exactly what the World needed. Be well, stay well.much gratitude.

Mr Trudeau, you speak very well. For us, Canadian. Showing a lot of fight and courage. Please do not resign. We need you in these tough times.

Start checking Canadian ports. The border is just a part of it. Maybe if they up the staff at Canadian ports we can get somewhere with this trade war. That's where a lot of Canadian cars are going after they get stolen they need to check more shipping containers for contraband. That's probably where most fentanyl or precursors are coming in.

I hope you Canadians know that WE, the sane citizens of the United States, do NOT agree with what Trump has started. We don't even want him here!\n\nUnfortunately, there are a lot of racists in our country who have learned to blame other groups of people for the failures of the very party they vote for. \n\nI say, FIGHT BACK! Don't allow the Dictator Orange Man to bully y'all. However, this affects us, we'll have to deal with it, and the ONLY person to blame will be Trump! \n\nLong live, Canada! -Signed, A Black American Woman (who did not vote for that literal clown)

I remember your previous video on Canada. You missed a lot of the warning signs that many Canadians saw that you're highlighting now

The only thing Trump has done to Trudeau is make him look better. Canadians have been getting sick of him, but I wouldn't be surprised if seeing him respond in an eloquent and coherent manner while telling Trump to fuck around and find out wins him a lot of brownie points.

Nobody likes trudeau. I see lots of europeans who have no idea what they are talking about supporting this. But americans and canadians all agree that trudeau is trash, he already quit, hes just stealing as much as he can before he leaves and leaving a dumpster fire in his wake

Agree with Trudeau here, and as a Canadian conservative, that’s not something I say easily. But let’s get real here. Trump is NOT a smart guy. He has cratered most businesses he’s started, he has no understanding of economics whatsoever and he speaks like a five-year old. Conversely, here in Canada and around the world (including many in the US who are voicing heir support here) we have A LOT of smart people and an enormous amount of good will, and we will persevere and overcome. Bring it MAGA!

Well done canada for standing your ground....having family there I know how strong the feeling is amongst Canadians.....be proud of who you are and take your produce , minerals and oil and deal with people who will treat you like an equal respected partner .I've no doubt europe will be next ......the american government will slowly isolate itself from its western partners and that's s real shame for the American public .......it'll cost jobs in the us cause inflation and it's gonna get a lot more expensive for everyone

well said Trudeau. I am a proud Canadian and support my country. Because of this I have started and will continue to buy only Canadian products. Trump is a loser and going to cost the USA a lot of money. I will not travel to the US and that means I won’t even be able to see one of my brothers who lives there, but I support my country and will do what is necessary.

A dumb thing to do he's done a lot of stupid things that's mine the carbon tax to fuel tax house tax food tax Trudeau you've done a lot of bad things to Canadians

Trudeau is lying, thief and liar. Canadians don’t like him. Is he carrying a mirror? He loves himself. You ate a liar. You bankrupted Canada. I have a lot of relatives there throughout Canada. You were told by millions of Canadians to step down. \nWe Americans have zero respect for Trudeau. Trudeau loves attention! Go sit down, asshole. God bless our President Trump! \nYour border is better because of President Trump, you moron!\nYou are lying. \nYou are a butt kisser, Trudeau… you are taking credit for President Trumps accomplishments. What a clown. But then you are right up CNNs alley. \nYour lies are incredible. \nLie after lie after lie. You could care less about Canadians! Trudeau is a LIAR. This is my opinion based on fact.

A lot of Canadians I know are already boycotting American products.

LMFAO………….. Great now we can see who does more for who!!……………. Shitty to lose the Canadian bacon and syrup!! We don’t need Canada, they need us a hell of a lot more!! You’ve rose our back for decades and that can end now

The sooner we Americans accept that Donald Trump is essentially batshit crazy and proceed to impeach the Orange Menace, the better off everyone in the world will be. Except of course, Russia. The more pressure great democracies as Canada exert upon Trump internationally, the more the U.S. economy (and Americans ourselves) will suffer. The more we Americans suffer, the more pressure will be exerted upon Trump domestically, and the more the U.S. Congress will bilaterally be pressured to impeach Trump. A lot of Canadians might not agree with me, but the Prime Minister is among the greatest democratic leaders of our time in contrast with the USA's new dictator-in-waiting. May God bless Canada and may God deliver the United States.

Lots og hugs to all Canadians!!! So sad to see the US ally itself with Russia. It's a sad day! It seems like we have a new US/Russian axis in global politics.

Funny how a lot of Canadians complained about Trudeau, the wokeness etc. Albeit reasonably so, Practically praising Trump, until these idiotic tariffs. Now we have Canada united and in a fighting patriotic mood against Trump. UK probably gonna go the same way thanks to Vance. A lesson in hubris.

A lot of canadians are unhappy with the guy, but that was a hell of a speech and a good reaponse to the US. Bring on the trade war!

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

What you don't understand is that all what we import from Canada we have here in US, we don't need to get it from Canada, they will have lot of problems if they will not find customer for their resources, Europe is in Putin pocket . So Canadian socialism as is will perish, because it was only possible do to deals with USA. I wonder who will protect Canada when Russia and Korea will come to idea to invade you?

In WWII a lot of Canadian factories were converted to make armaments and aircrafts. They are needed around the world right now- especially by our friends in Ukraine.

We Canadian stand with the American people, and President Trump CARES AND PUT AMERICA INTEREST FIRST UNLIKE OUR DUMB PM TRUDEAU WHO IS STEPPED DOWN BECAUSE WE CANADIAN ARE TIRED OF HIS WOKE AGENDA AND WHOREMONGER SUPPORTING THE ONGOING WAR IN UKRAINE WASTING OUR TAX PAYRES MONEY AND THERE ARE LOT OF HOMELESS CANADIANS, FAMILIES WHO BARELY GET BY. TRUDEAU DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CANADIAN WE KNOWS THIS TO BE FACT BY HIS ACTION AND HOW HE RUN OUR PROSPEROUS COUNTRY INTO DEBT.

Canada don’t be deceived by the Canadian government. There’s a lot behind the scenes.

My president does not speak for me, or a lot of us Americans. I stand by Canadians, Ya'll our closet allies and fiends. \nOur president is hurting us an our best neighbor, its just sad

Trump continues to be dishonest, tells the American's different things.\n From what you're doing. And causing a lot of pain for the american people and for the canadians

Putin is rubbing his hands, lailughing and drinking champagne today. Youre playing with fire America. The UK stands with Canada. A lot of people are boycotting American goods in Britain. I for one will be buying as much Canadian maple syrup as i can afford! (A small gesture i know!)

Speaking from the UK here, the British people love both Canadians and Americans, but on this one we are taking one side, and that side is Canada's. We know a lot of Americans do too.

Proud Canadian here. So, we all know, including the Americans, that trump is a moron. In my books, he is the economic equivalent of Hitler, and no different from Putin. But my question is, how do you Americans who voted for this bully, feel now? I get it, a lot of American are against what he is doing. But the majority of you voted him in.

I do not care of the cost .i m canadian bring it on.i can live with lots less

Indians have used Canada like a flop house. Indians go to diploma mills and try to use it as a backdoor to stay in Canada. They take over Canadian communities and try to turn them into India - making the locals feel like foreigners in their own home. They're also involved in a lot of crime. This includes: auto theft rings, synthetic ID/credit fraud, gun and drug smuggling, and one of the largest gold heists in Canadian history at Toronto Pearson airport. Americans have stated that the top nationality entering the US illegally from Canada is Indian. The drugs they are complaining about entering the US from Canada are almost entirely brought in by Indian truck drivers (Google it and find many examples). A Fentanyl super lab in BC capable of producing over 95 million lethal doses that was busted was run by an Indian. This is now threatening trade with our main trade partner as a trade war has just started. ENOUGH ALREADY! Indians need to be sent home, and banned from entering Canada.

Theres nothing presumptive about Canada being the US' 51st state. A lot of Canadian's would rather burn everything to the ground than be American, and a lot of others still would rather flee to Europe than be trapped in Trump's America

Still a living standard far better than any of the 50 (sort of) united states.\nIt would be a lot better for everybody to have US as 50 additional Canadian provinces.

The rules were broken and lots of loopholes to penetrate into the country. So it's not betrayal. It's the con ppl broke the immigration rules with lots of loopholes to cheat the Canadian govt. Even uk and aus and Europe out of reach now because so much cheating.

From January to August last year, 23,358 migrants crossed Canada's border from USA side of the border. Migrants crossing the Canadian border from American soil are a lot higher that those going south.

canadian here didnt know this was so bad lots of people from india here this is so scarey thanks turdo you criminal

No one wants to live in Canada anymore because it's no longer land of the free it's home of who ever bitches the loudest gets there way. And for really I'm not sure there's a whole lot of Canadians in Canada not if u look around

Im Canadian with a lot of health issues. Many trips to the ER, the longest I have had to wait, was about 15 mins. And if it was real serious, I was seen by a doctor immediately. I hear people complain about wait time, but the problem we have is that many people take advantage of the ER instead of making an apt with their family Dr. So if it's not an emergency and you go to the E.R. you will wait.
