Well said PM Trudeau! Canadians will not stand for these treacherous actions by Trump. I will always stand up for my country, Canada ?? and will always stand on guard for thee! ?? ? ??

Trump extended his rudeness to all Canadians, like the country and citizens was no more than a backwater US state. Trudeau coulda referred to Trump as Donald Duck ‘da f*ck’ and it’s still more than a polite gesture in my book ?

I haven't enjoyed much of Trudeau's office, but this he owns. He really laid it down here. It made me proud to be Canadian. He absolutely, kicked ass and I hope he just hammers Trump. Trudeau's level of forthrightness and honesty in this situation is (I think) exactly why people voted for him. It makes me feel like he's going to kick Trump's ass.

Trudeau screwed Canadians & they couldn’t wait to get him out of office!! \nCanada is broke and can’t afford 25% tariffs. All Canada has to do is open business in USA!\nMade in the USA ?? \nCanada gave 20billion to Ukraine vs USA giving over 150 billion plus militaryequipment equipment. Ukraine realizes Trump was right, The WAR needs to end. ????????????

Canada's Tariff applied to the United States will cause some price inflation, price increase, for a short time until the United states establish compaines to produce the same good and services that were tariffed. Once goods and service producted by the United States exceeds the Canadian goods and services that were tarriffed, the prices will come down. President Donald Trump did this to grow United States and Employment and cause price deflation over the long term. Hopefully Canada has the resources to do the same. I hope every body is blessed through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

You know you done something really wrong when you piss off the Canadians. I am glad they are standing up for themselves and not putting up with Trump's stupidity.

Every year 20 million Canadian travel to USA and that will stop soon and USA hotels and small businesses and airlines lose about 17 billion dollars just there, At the end USA will lose more than Canadian, Trump bows down for Putin but stab Canada and Mexico from back.

As an American with Canadian ancestors I am so ashamed of what my government is doing. I wish I could go back to my roots. Canada and Mexico as well are us, North Americans. We should be negotiating any disagreements we have as adults. Oh yeah I didn't vote for Trump. I mean do I look nuts?

We don’t dislike American people; we dislike Donald Trumps attitude towards Canada! ?? \n\nWe’ve already started to boycott American food & other products in our grocery stores! \n\n“Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite; but we will not back down from a fight . \n\nThere are no winners in a trade war!”\n~Justin Trudeau\n\nAmericans know that the issue is tRump & not the American people!\n\nGod help us all!

Trump is boss and Canadians are going to eat our tariffs and love it.

We gave trump the mandate, which means we support his decisions. Canadians are not paying our taxes.

Uuuh the canadians got mad?\nIf i were Trump I would be running to the south pole with the penguins. He will have not american continent to run away to.

I wish I were a Canadian. But then, I have wished that for the last 40 years of my life. Too bad I could never make the point score necessary to emigrate. I am ashamed to live in the US. Trump has to go, by any means.

Hold on. Will the Canadian government provide assistance to its citizens during the trade disputes? Im sure, President Trump will offer greater benefits to the United States.

Canadian here, I just feel really bad for the normal Americans who didn't vote for this orange clown who seems hellbent on making their lives miserable. We don't hold it against you, and this is a war with your government, not the people. Americans will always be our brothers and sisters, we just gotta get through this extremely weird and disturbing chapter in history. My grandpa fought side by side with Americans in WW2, and gave his life to stop fascist idiots like Trump. History can't, and won't repeat itself. Unfortunately, this all needs to happen for pro-trump Americans to feel the pain and realize what he is.

trudo does NOT speak for canadians. he has wrecked our country. we have suffered with him in power and now that he is leaving we get to suffer because of trump.......

It's not a tariffs war you Canadian Trudeau idiot... Donald Trump put a tariffs on you because Cartel's dnt Cross drugs through the border if you dnt do you side of the bargain to keep fentanyl by crossing from your side of the country.. helloooo how stupid can y'all be it's not a tariffs war get that straight.

Mr,Justin First U have Leran how to RESPEKT Other Country President U And Mr, Zelenzky too. Leran , U can‘t Win Against Mr, President Donald Trump U Think Front of Camera Give. Voice Cut Stupid And Useless , Canadian people they Told GO HOME We Tell To??

What Trump is trying to do is have Mexican and Canadian companies pack up and move to the the USA. Hopefully all beer manufacturing will move to the USA.

I mean mr tredau, u are donating to countries in war... u arw giving money to refugees when ur own people cant even afford to rent and eat. U got so many foreign workers when canadians are unemployed. Worry about ur own befire you do social work in other countries. Trump cares about america, u should step down asap.... u brought this upon all canadians.

Or you can just sign up to be the 51st state of the US. You would become the largest state in the US area wise, but not population wise. You also could vote in American elections. Many Canadians would have voted for Trump by the way if they could have.

I still stand with Trump and Elon and Doge. Canada‘s government has to be crooked too look at what the average Canadian spends on a mortgage . Their citizens not in good shape.

for last many years Trudeau the idiot did bash trump & waisted time & money on ukiestan started wars with Saudi china india & ow russia accomplished nothing for Canadian economy

Dear Canadian friends...I am a young widow raising six sons. I hate Trump, Vance, and Elon, plus many more MAGA freaks. I have always been so proud of our common boarder...the biggest in the world. I am shitting in my pants. We love you guys, please believe me. ❤❤

As a Canadian I am shocked that very few Americans seem to care at what Trump is doing to their country. It's not the tariffs on all of the US's former allies but that he has dumped its allies to appease Trumps good friend Putin. I am looking at dismay watching the US go from being the leader of the free world to just another dictatorship run by billionaires, America is Russia. It's up to you America to stop this, no one is going to come to help you. Good luck you are going to need it.

Trump should know that retaliation from Canada and China and Mexico brings down USA to its knees, From now on I don’t buy any American products as a Canadian, Whole Canadian are united behind their government in this matter.

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

I’ve said it a million times. Waste of time to even reason with Trump communists and totalitarian ideas. Just ask anyone now who is 55 years old or older and grew up in - say - Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union. These commies will tell you anything … black is white, what you see it’s not what we see, it’s just not to be reasoned with. Exactly like the Canadian PM says, just trust him! They did all they had been asked to do and now the US gov says “no, you didn’t, no it’s not enough”. It’s a communist lie. If Canada did twice as much as needed, they would have said the same, lame lies. ? Lastly, this is all from the Soviet playbook, way before Putin and it’s still their “playbook”.

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

As unpopular Trudeau is in Canada, he is 1000 times better than Madman Trump. Canadians should appreciate what they have

Trudeau is a clown & crook took all his bank accounts of Truckers protest him . He should be in jail for that .He done a terrible job . He got in an airplane right way to DC to see Pres Trump when he won the election . Before & Now With new Tariffs Canadians don’t like Trudeau . They want him out so bad ! He was a cov fool.

Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite; but we will not back down from a fight . \n\nThere are no winners in a trade war!\n\nAmericans know that the issue is tRump & not the American people!

I agreed with everything Trudeau said, except when he said Trump is a very smart person. Stupid is what stupid does. Trump does stupid like no other. This is Canada's time to shine. We need our pipelines flowing to both the East and West coasts. It is time for Canadians to invest in Canada and cut our dependence on U.S. trade.\nAmericans need to start understanding, it is Americans who pay the tariffs. They are just a tax. It has nothing to do with the border, or drugs, or migration. This is a tax on the working class and the poor so the rich can continue to get 5 TRILLION dollars in tax cuts.

and he chose to do the same to Canadians......... its better for CANADA to buy american good without tariffs, don't hurt the Canadian economy like Trump does to his people

Trump et al expect Canada to seal the US border but they don't seal the Canadian border from guns and drugs. Now Trump is contributing to war crimes by supporting criminals Putin and Netanyahu and endangering the people of the world with their aggression.

Trudeau, focus on fixing your own country first. The high taxes, the massive carbon taxes that Canadians do not want, and the rising grocery and housing prices are becoming unbearable. Stop shifting blame onto President Trump. While he works hard for his country, you should be doing the same for yours.

Justin, you are a charismic guy, and your hands are bigger than Trump's. What comes into our country across the northern border is the responsibilty of the American government, not the Canadian's. TRUMP, this should be your prioruty, not PM Trudeau's. His cute socks are far more appealling than your orange spray tan.

As a chinenese i understand why trump add 25% tax on chinese gods, but 25% tax on canadian goods that i dont understand

As a Canadian, we love everyone! Except bullies and people that create wars and attack innocent people. I have nothing against people from U.S or Russia. I disagree with there leaders however. I don't like our leader but when you start a fight I always was told to never back down. Trump doesn't want to work together. He wants to crush everyone and destroy. NUTS! Canada will fight a bully always. We are also the friendliest people in the world.. Just don't piss us off!

Canadian Lad here, I'm Very Proud of Our Prime Minister. Hats off Buds. Our Doors are open to those Americans that want to Live in Canada. Its a Big country I'm sure we can find a lake for you to live on free of Morons Like Donald Trump. As long as you don't mind Camping, fishing, canoeing, drinking Molson Beers watching hockey, and eating Pan cakes with Maple Syrup, lol.

Trump should at least wait until the new prime minister of Canada is coming in at any time this what you sow call a man will no longer be part of the Canadian politics he has ruined our country from top to bottom he doesn't deserve any air time what Trump could have waited until the new prime minister was in because I'm sure he would be way more willing to work with Trump and not against Trump

Im Canadian and let me tell you, the hatred for Trudeau was everywhere. And Pierre Polieve was a shoe in. Since Trump started all this trade war stuff, a lot of us are looking at Trudeau differently. Its almost like Trump is doing this to make us Canadians like Trudeau again lol

This is even stupider than Trumps tarriffs. Both american and canadian consumers will lose from this.

What a nauseating twit. Hey Justin...tariffs on American goods are a tax on Canadians! I forgot-- you love taxes, because you're a socialist. You were right when you told Trump Canada can't survive this--because Canada isn't a real country.

I thought Canadians hated Trudeau ? Or is their hate for Trump grater like brainwashed Americans?

Canadian here. Buying Canadian first, Mexico and Commonwealth second, anyone else third. Not buying American anything until Trump is out of office. Bye. ??

Justin just called an election. Obviously, Trump and 60% of Canadians don’t like you. Look at what you’ve done to Canada before all this. This guy and Newsom are cut from the same cloth— all talk, incompetent, and corrupt.

Why do Europeans and Canadians citizens do not feel the same level of urge \nto take illegal drugs ? \nTheir is something specially wrong with America's society \nA problem that Trump and MAGA have no idea why \nAnd quite frankly \nDon’t really care
