F Canada

I am not a fan of PM Trudeau but on this occasion, I'm willing to flipflop. Oh, my goodness, it's so refreshing to hear a country leader speak a coherent sentence, a coherent thought structure, zero vanity tripping, berating opponents, finger-wagging, screeching accusations, tantrums. And then in a second language!!! Just because I'm not one of HIS fans, I am however a massive fan of Canada. I support Canada in this situation 100%. A trade war IS dumb, and even dumber with your closest ally and neighbor. Dumb and Dumber all in one go.... wowzah....so much winning?.

Aha - an adult in the room. That's refreshing! \nWith the slightest inquiry at all, anyone can see the obvious absurdity (the lie) in the premise that this is about drugs crossing the border. \nThis Trump administration really takes us all for fools. \nSorry Canada - Please stand by, many of us are doing our best to turn this sinking ship around.

Je suis American, moi je t’adore Canada.❤

The only thing I have that's from Canada is maple syrup and that already cost $20 for a little bottle

Canada doesn't practice fair trade with the US. DJT is fixing it. Get over it, we're tired of being screwed.

As American, I stand with Canada.

Canada deserves all the tariffs slapped in it's face for being the loyalest lapdog of the US and for all the crimes it has committed on behalf of the US.

Canada, you taking applications?

If only America had a leader like Canada`s

Fight, fight, fight. The world stands with you Canada, against idiocracy.

We are angry - with those people who ignorantly voted for Trump and those people who chose not to vote. Not the people who chose to vote democratically to remain a democratic country. We are clear that his real agenda is to use this trade war to attempt to coerce us into becoming the 51st state. For MANY reasons, we will not EVER become part of Trump’s America. We will collectively fight in any way possible, even though we know it will be tough, to prevent it. We also know that there is a bigger picture in that it’s clear that Trump is aligned with Putin in the push to destroy democracy globally in favour of an authoritarian world order that benefits only the ultra rich. Canada, the Ukraine, Greenland and Panama are stepping stones to that end goal.

This only hurts America, it's like what the Civil War did for the cotton trade, Canada will find other customers...\nSo will Mexico.\nAnd the only economy that will suffer is ours.\nDUMB.

As an American, I stand with Canada.

Trump demands loyalty, but he never is willing to give it. Canada is right to resist his ridiculous tariffs. Stay strong, Canada! Sane, decent Americans are with you!

It’s hilarious to watch this after he first ran to Mara lago to kiss Trumps rump and threw Mexico under the bus. After Mexico insisted on the temec including Canada instead of just being a US and Mexico endeavor. I really wonder what the orange man will do next

Many, many US citizens are with you and support Canada. Trump is creating this tariff war in a unilateral fashion. We do not support it, we don’t want it and our economy doesn’t demand it. These are foolish decisions made by an unscrupulous businessman turned politician.

Good speech. All the best Canada. Britain and Scotland ???????. Are with you.????

Kevin, the RCMP that blocked Trudeaus investigations. Kevin the fentanyl Czar - to do what? Ensure inventory is high in Canada? Kevin another friend and Trudeau Foundation supporter. YUP! another wasted salary.

April 1st, the asshole taxes his own Canadian people with a 20% carbon tax ... That's wholesome and democratic, but when another leader holds you accountable, you play victim and gaslight. These SICK VILE LIberals will use anything to prop up their party but for 9 years they hurt and destroyed Canada.

?? Mexico stands with Canada ??

A group of friends went to Canada for a trip and one of us in the group had a DUI 10 years ago and won’t let us in. Like he’s some sort of gang member. Fuck you Canada!

Germany here. We are with you Canada❤

Trump is American, not Canadian, his job is to make America better, not Canada. No more free rides Canada. Trump is fixing it.

I live in Nashville, TN USA. I am so sorry Canada is suffering due to Trump. I do not support this move on Trump's part. I never voted for him. I have known for many years he is a dangerous narcissist. Canada is our friend. You have come to our aide in times of trouble. Our forest fires, 911 when the planes hit our twin towers. Trump wants a 4.5 Trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy. He sees tariffs as a way to make up some of that money alone with huge budget cuts to many of our programs. Trump is an unreasonable person who only thinks about himself. I hope he will eventually be impeached. I do not blame Canada. I blame Donald Trump and the the Republican Congress. This is a coupe going down in our country and it is sad to watch. Take good care.

Huh?! Nepo Politician little Justin should thank Don from Queens for distracting Canada from his corruption, fraud and stealing of Canadian Taxpayer money!!

Canadas value as a country is less than 1/8th of the US . They’re total gdp us just our educational spending . I don’t think it’s smart but I’m not worried

Canada should work with Europe, sell Oil and minerals , cut power to USA

Make no mistake this liberal dictatorship Wants these tariffs. Who collects all of the money on the US goods that do Get bought up in Canada. Trudeau and his cronies are salivating at all the money that they’re gonna have coming in And he couldn’t give a crap about the average Canadian

As an American, thank you Canada for speaking the truth and not hiding and kissing trumps ass. Thank you for your help in mobilizing the American people.

Go Canada. From a US citizen. We have to work together to stop a wannabe dictator.

Canada you can have all the liberal Americans

We lived in Canada for 15 years and we heard a lot how Canada hated us. The facts are Port of Vancouver is mega drug port. Just go to East Hastings

I'm canadian and trudolf is a piece of ?.The corrupt liberals have destroyed Canada not trumps tariffs. If the tariffs are not bad enough this corrupt liberal reciprocal tariffs are going to destroy us even more. This piece of garbage froze our bank accounts when we peacefully protested against his tyranny. Don't be fooled by this dictator. This is exactly what he wants it plays into the corrupt liberal agenda to make the people more dependent on the government. Trudolf is a lying piece of ?

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.

American here standing with Canada

Im American. Not a big fan of Trudeau. But you were far too nice to my country and especially to the Trump regime. I think most americans are on your side. Do what you gotta do we're with you. Slava Canada

I would like to see every vehicle and every individual crossing into USA from Canada, or crossing into Canada from the USA have to pay a fee. PM Trudeau has spoken well on our behalf. Moving forward - #BoycottUSA. Time to reinvent Canada without the USA.

As a Canadian, I'm obviously pissed, like the rest of Canada, and just to be clear, we don't forget!!!!\nA country that has fought wars side by side, and to see what the American government is doing is absolutely disgusting!\nTo all our American friends that didn't vote for this, thank you for the kind words.\nElbows up Canada, we stick together!

Wish TRUDEAU was head of state in Denmark, THAT GUY HAVE BALLS !!!!!!! Europe and THE FREE WORLD STAND WITH CANADA:

Mexico y canada deben bajar impuestos internos a ciudadanos y restringir severamente el gasto publico para reducir inflacion interna y motivar a exportadores y consumidorres. Y Disminuir desaceleracion de economia

if trump could read, he'd know elections dont go forward during war. if he didnt flap his gums for 4 more months, canada wouldve had its election, and voted in conservatives. at this point i doubt we'll have an election. and if we do, most ppl who were going to vote conservative for their first time, now arent going to. trump really does have a room temperature IQ (celcius tf is fehrenheit)

Take Elon musk citizenship away Canada

Good for Canada. Don't back down from these weak wanna be dictators. Europe follow their example, Americans can't even help ourselves right now.

American here that proudly stands with Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world, especially Ukraine! I did not vote for this lunatic!

All of this is so unfortunate. God Help us all. Stand for Canada and Peace.

Bravo to Canada!!!

I'm a truck driver from Canada and I love the fact that my beloved President decided to make sure that money from my bank account is safe ;)

Go Canada. ?? jd vence & trump????????

One thing about Justin Trudeau. \nHe's an excellent talker but the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever see.\nDon't be fooled by his nice hair and speech. It's because of Trudeau Canadians are not able to afford housing and taxed to our eyeballs. \nBecause of Trudeau, our drug problems are at rising high like we've never seen before.\nHe does nor respect Canadians although he talks the part yet he pulls the emergency act on the Canadian truckers and froze anyone's bank account that donated to protest against him. A man dressed in sheep clothes but a wolf inside that will do anything to make himself rich and first. Meanwhile single moms are suffering because they just can't make ends meet. \nThank God he has been called to resign from his own party. \nWe need a leader that will be intouch with the everyday Canadian worker. It's not Trudeau.\n❤Canada. God Keep Our Land Gloria's and Free.\nYes We Will Stand On Gard For Thee, because Trudeau didn't.
