Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

Donald Trump must be impeach NOW for betrayal of public trust. Making an alliance with a war criminal Putin(a wanted murderer) makes Donald Trump unworthy of being a US President. He puts the world in grave danger.

Do you understand that Trump wants World War III? He wears two diapers and has very little time left to live. He doesn’t care if the world exists after him! Can you imagine that this is just the beginning? That he and Musk will do something so disastrous that our planet will simply cease to exist! impeach Trump and put Musk in jail!

Trump is going to have all y'all crying. I love that Americans are being put first finally.. no more of our tax money should go to any of these dictators!!

ABSOLUTELY!!!\nPLEASE PUT TARRIFS ON EVERYTHING FROM TRUMP!!!\nIM NOT BUYING ANYTHING FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS!!

Jan 2025\n\n1. Schedule F grants Trump power to replace federal employess with loyalists.\n2. Musk does Nazi salute at inaguration.\n3. Bill proposed to allow Trump a 3rd term but not Obama.\n4. General Inspector Watch Dogs all fired from White House. [No one to monitor coruption]\n5. Musk continues to fund and speaks at ADF rally.\n\nFeb 2025\n\n1. Trump states Ukraine started war with Russia.\n2. 21 Doge employees resign refusing to dismantal gov as directed n put citizen data at risk.\n3. EU chief declares US is no longer leader of the free world.\n\nMar 2025\n\n1. Trump pauses military aide for ukraine.

American here. It's obvious Trump is a traitor and a Russian agent who is following orders from Putin to dismantle the US government, and destabilize/destroy all Western alliances. It shouldn't be a surprise: Trump has had dealings with Russian oligarchs for the past 40 years. Trump is a clear and present danger to the US, the West, and the world. He will probably be the cause of World War 3 since he has put the US on the side of Russia - which destabilizes the entire world order.

Why would you call President Trump stupid? Stupid, you just called the majority of Americans stupid because they voted for him. You are stupid.\nI'm Canadian. If Trudeau wanted to look out for Canadians, he would have done all the things Trump asked for long before Trump asked. He would have done it for Canadians. Mr. President Donald Trump is looking out for Americans from day one, but Trudeau never looked out for the majority of Canadians in the almost 10 years he had power. He stifled Canadians, he jailed heroes, stole money, etc. There are 7 extreme scandled he was heavily involved in and over 20 others that would have put any other Canadian in prison for a very long time. He is a disgrace to Canadians everywhere.

Impeach Donald Trump NOW. Remove him from power and put this criminal behind bars. NOW.

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

Trump wants to put these tariffs on so his rich US friends can buy the Canadian businesses for pennies on the dollar and then remove the tariffs and they become even richer! that's all it is. Its nothing to do with fentanyl. Its all money for trump and business.

It is sad seeing two people set up America in flames. We may not have any allies left at the end of Trump's 4 years. Any American who is not appalled by Trump's actions must be out of their mind. Let us put our political differences behind us and fight against this nonsense in the Oval Office.

Trump hitting the reset button...putting America back to level 1

In California but 1000% Team Canada. I am actively seeking out Canadian products to replace those from red states. (Canadian Mist, Crown Royal and many others are excellent replacements for Kentucky whiskeys.) I hope (and expect) that Blue State governors are working with Canada and our other allies to put the squeeze on Trump-supporting states and industries. While I hold out little hope that Trump cultists will ever not be brainwashed, putting them through direct and maximum pain is the only possible way out. Canada, elbows up! Turn out the lights, raise the price of our oil and know that true Americans are with you every step of the way.

No... No... No... Trump will say I've done many great, amazing, beautiful things with the Canadian Governor putting in a bit of help....

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

The really sick thing is that it was trump who signed the Free Trade Agreement himself in his first term! This is part of trumps project 2025, put the Canadian economy in shambles to make it easier to ‘annex’, he has a God complex, he will even ruin his own economy so he can fix it before the mid-term election, so he will be a hero! He is a vindictive person who will not honour what he agrees to, he throws out accusations and insults with a sneer and wants to be Putins friend! So many Americans are horrified by their Governor trump! He wants a military base on the Northwest Passage, that is why he wants Canada!

No, he didn't, you are a lier. Trump is trying to find peace, Canada has been ripping of the US for decades. Now, when the US tries to put a stop to it, you get butt hurt. Canada should have played nice.

A third party has put a curse on the liars all of them playing with peoples lives big man trump should have his fortune expropriated ...wont even come close to the loss of thecountry .....the ununited states

Trump and his entire baboon administration is a joke and Trump only got elected because promised to lower prices on day 1 and he Has done EVERYTHING except that. TRUMP IS NOT MY PRESIDENT! He is a Complete dumb ass who is hurting our country's place in the world's eyes. Not to mention he is only trying to put as much money in his and his Cronies pockets he is taking food off of the middle classes tables and doing his best to erraticate the middle class completely.. We can't stand for this.

lmao. Biden and obamas CIA/FBI has been trying to put Trump in prison for years and he outsmarted all of them..Trudeau is nothing:))

I agree, this isn't about Fentanyl. I'm starting to think it's more about putting such a wedge between the U.S. and Canada that Trump will feel emboldened to do whatever it takes to take over Canada, making it the 51st state, after all. I know that sounds ridiculous, but tell me when he truly HASN'T been ridiculous!

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

Well if Trump wants war with Canada, Canada must invite the Chinese to put a military base on our territory, the Chinese would be very happy to get closer to the Americans.

I never really heard this guy speak so much. I’m impressed. He puts trump to shame.

Trudeau your a lieing criminal and corrupt!! You think you can out smart president Trump?? It's about time someone put you in your place!! Best you and carny get out now!! God bless Pierre poilievre family and Canada!!!

trump put the tariffs on canada because canada did not want to become the 51st state, and i don't blame canada

They have been putting our corporations out of business that compete with them here by giving those Canada companies subsidies so they can sell their materials cheaper than ours. It’s really crazy how people were so happy to pay more money for everything when Biden’s people manipulated us to think it was important to support Ukraine’s war and that was why prices were going up. Now, no one wants to support businesses coming to the US. \nThere are way worse things than prices going up for a few years. We do need to start chipping away at that $36trillion. We are the 1st country to not go belly up with the GDP ratio to debt as high as ours. Economists that aren’t connected to our government and top CEO’s said last year that it didn’t matter who was president, our dollar will reset and our economy will crash. So, somebody has to do something. Trump and his people has to think outside the box to stop it. Especially if interest rates don’t go down, because if we can’t pay the interest and our corporations can’t either, the crash will happen.

Trump is a joke but nobody is laughing. Trudeau puts Trump to shame. This is why Canada is respected, while Trump is regarded as a bully and a petulant child who is intent on hurting his friend to impress another bigger bully. The people of the US are most at risk and hopefully will eventually realise that Trump is the problem and not the answer. He is driving the US economy into the ground just to appease Putin. It makes you wonder what information Putin has about Trump that he is holding over Trump's head? This fiasco is making Trump look like a weak fool who cares nothing for what pain the US people will suffer. He is rich and therefore he and his billionaire friends will not feel the pain he is happy to inflict on others.

Quit calling it a war Trudeau, they just showed us that they are taking care of themselves...trump will provide americans with what they need... You however have done nothing but take from us canadians..you made our country a drug pit..just drive thru any small to bc towns and look at how many more drug addicts are wandering the streets..10x more since your new drug laws...you give our money away, and how did you get so rich when you gov. Pay heck is only a specific amount?...you soend more canadian tax payers money on a two week vacation that what two average canadian house holds make in a year...rent is outrageous, inflation has put people in the poor house, and in the very end your ego is trying to look good just so you can go off into the rest of your life in your own delusion...go away man. Why dont you support us canadians by accepting the new financial hike and get us on to making momey in different ways...quit complaining and quit trying to get us into a war...when someone puts crap on me, i dont let them own me any further, i just cut them off and get on to living by rolling up my sleeves and doing the work... Trudeau, your just a politician who failed us, quit using the priminister position to make thinhs worse for canada...youve proven that you really dont care about canada, and that you have gotten rich by pocketing taz payers money...go away man...canadians, do fall into the spin doctor media war creating wimpering crap..lets get the right person in seat, manufacture what we need to, rebuild the military that we use to have, and get rid of the liberal party...truedau has done worse to us than usa has...

What I dont get is, why do Canada put up tarifs too??????? This will make life in Canada more expensive. I dont get it..... as he says, there are no winnes in a tarif war. So why do the same shit as Trump does? Just let the US pay 25% more... why should you pay more in Canada??? I dont get it.... this makes you just as dumb as Trump.

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

Wow, Trump is good. Shook Canada to listen and work now. I am sure he has their attention, and an a few weeks, he will fix these tariffs. The point here is he is not playing any games with the world and he is putting America first best to work with then against America.

Get ready for this country's name change to United States to North America since it's going to a dictatorship direction. The boarders aren't to keep immigrants out. It's to keep us from escaping, putting us in the same situation as North Korea. I also don't put it past that fentanyl is being supplied by the U.S. government the same way the CIA did it in contra-crack. Ladies and gentlemen we are going to be in a civil war soon because of this man and his group. Trump's presidency must end quickly.

Looking in from the out side I applaud Trudeau on his speech. But........ Canada needs the USA more than the USA needs Canada. Trump is who the United States elected by a majority. No games..... no fraud..... He IS THE Average large pickup driving, loud and rude American. He Is America and the rest of the world needs to take note.\n\n To be fair, in historical terms, the USA was created to be isolated and different than Europe. They went to War to become an independent country away from Europe. This whole idea that they follow Europe everywhere is only a small blip in history since WW2, they were never set up to be that.\n\n If Anything, the rest of the world should see there mistake in becoming so dependent on the USA. You should never put that much faith and trust in just one country.

Trump’s childish babbling and incoherent ramblings are really put on display when compared to intelligent, full structured sentences. Fuck all things Trump and MAGA.

It's ironic that America declared independence from a mentally ill English King, and now Americans have put a mentally ill King in the White House. Americans are sooo stupid as a nation. Why? Because they voted in this mentally ill king. \nRIP America. \nTRUMP IS MENTALLY ILL. American needs to get out of its denial about Trump's mental state! Wake up you dumb bozos! Wake up! .

Canadian here who 100 percent supported trump going to office making America great again but I never thought he would try to come at us Canadians like this. This doesn't only effect us but also the good patriot god loving people of the United States. I pray that God puts an end to all this and let's continue to work together for our people in NORTH AMERICA IN JESUS NAME AMEN

Time to put Trump in the ground.

I would like to say this, Canada we do understand. I thank GOD I seen the evil in Trump and his buddies. It's call spiritual discernment. You people that believe in Christ, you better put your trust in the good LORD.

Wall Street is wrong. Trump is NOT smart.\n\nThis is what a real world leader looks like, what a REAL man looks like.\n\nTrump is putting the screws to the American people. He’s grab America by the pussy.\n\nIt’s disgusting. Turning us into an “AntiAmerca”does NOT make America great

Trump is going to put us in recession

Some how I said from the start when Vladimir Trump got put in as the president of the United States of Russia!!! I said give him enough rope and let's see how it goes ?

Go back and listen to Trump on tariffs. If a country is fair with America, America will be fair with them. Americans do not realize how many tariffs we pay as a country. There are also countries that do not allow us to sell in their countries although they sell to America.\n\nFor years Canada has allowed a steady flow of illegals and drugs into our country. Now only after Trump calling them out they have started putting A FEW programs into place. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST YEARS.

We have an enemy within named trump! But that does not excuse those that put him in office not one time but twice! What a disgrace. I’m scared for us!!!

Trudeau, you crook, you very conveniently say that you are putting the 25% tariff after we did it-but its the OTHER way around. You and Mexico have been putting the 25% during Bidens time and Biden would not reciprocate. Dont play with Trump?

If he doesn't like tariffs put on him, then he shouldn't have tariffs on us . That's why Trump has put tariffs on Canada

Trump had been a known Russian asset for 40 years. The work that the KGB, FSB and Putin's operatives have put in to cultivate figures at the top of this regime has paid off in spades.

Trump is violating his own USMCA Trade agreement in place today. So when he wonders which numb nut put it in place he’s talking about himself. If he’s trying to point the finger at someone who fell asleep at the wheel for the trade deficit, there are multiple factors INCLUDING HIMSELF.

Trump is a Russian oprative 1967 he needs to be put in prison as a traitor to the USA
