GOD BLESS CANADA, LONG LIVE CANADA. I am a student immigrant who had a choice between US and Canada. I chose Canada, and I have never regretted my choice. The people might not know this but Canada is an amazing country. People have no idea how Canadians have built a fantastic country in some of the toughest conditions. Canadians are some of the most polite, helpful and kind people.

Donald Trump is an idiot. The only reason he is pissed at Canada is that both his daughter and his wife wanted to sleep with our PM. Thankfully he turned them both down. The US is turning into a pathetic isolationist country. Good luck to you as you align with Russia. Idiots!

Trump is attempting to offset his tax cuts by implementing a tax that isn't called a tax. All of the money from the tariffs goes to the government. Trump has mentioned when tariffs were common as supporting what he is doing, but he doesn't add that at that time, there wasn't an income tax, so tariffs were how the government supported itself. Trump, knowing that tariffs are income for the government, is lying to his base so they will accept the increased prices as a necessary evil to battle the bad countries of Mexico and Canada. It will look like his tax breaks aren't hurting as much as they are and price increases will be the fault of the other countries.\n\nTrump is a conniving grifter with no knowledge of how to run a country's economy or international trade. He is gaslighting the American public to cover his own shortcomings.\n\nAlso, if fentanyl is entering the US, why is it the fault of the other countries? It is the job of the US to stop anything on its side of the border. Canada and Mexico do what they can to catch the drugs while inside their respective countries. The tons of cocaine and guns that enter Canada and Mexico from the US are caught by their border services; they don't blame the US for the products getting past their own border agents, and the US takes no responsibility for it making it across the border. Why is it other countries' fault for drugs getting past the US's border agents, but not the fault of the US that guns and drugs are going in the other direction? That is why countries work together, not fight over whose fault it is and try to punish each other.

“Need Canada”? We need Canada? I think they need us more then they need us

I’m an American and I support Canada, Ukraine and NATO. Trump is a Russian asset.

Reassuring to see so many country leaders talk so professionally in the wake of the Clown leader of the Circus in the US, have so much respect for Trudeau and the people of Canada, I feel so sorry for the American people your leader is an embarrassment to you and the world, regards from Down Under??

nobody in canada cares what this idiot says we need real leadership not a dramatic chump

Trudeau you are a weak lying snake bending truth to your victim narrative. Trump put you on notice regarding tariffs and here we are. Do you think he is not a man of his word? Well you have now experienced that this is in fact the case first hand. You have taken from America with very little in return and these are the consequences of your woke agenda for Canada. Look at you spouting venom, dischord and anarchy from your pulpit. Trump is interested in econmic revival for America and if you are not on board you will fall by the wayside. Only smart leaders realise throwing insults at Trump will only weaken your countries position. Surely you realise Trump is one of the most persecuted people on the planet, unjustly so, and your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears in the whitehouse. They've heard all the nonsense before. But, continue throwing the insults, chuck your toys out the pram, if it makes you feel like a grownup. I don't fancy your chances though.

Eat it canada ??‍♀️ too long and no more

Why didn’t Canada implement theses protections from Fentanyl before the US initiated Tarrifs

I am American and I stand with Donald Trump. Canada needs to shut their borders down with the fentanyl. It's killing all our people they buy. What they want and they charge us a fortune. They don't do nothing for America. Canada, does everyone should do for America? As Americans stand up for the USA thank you.

Murderer? How many people died for USA to be established, Canada, Australia, Hawaii, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. I can go on and on. Let's be honest with ourselves

As an American, I stand with Canada.

The world respects you Canada

Says the guy that destroyed canada for the last 10 years.

Great talker….speaks from the heart….UK Prime Minister speaks from his arse.All the best Canada from the UK ??

He's in it for the Long Haul oh that's right he stepped down he's going to blow a whole bunch of smoke up Canada's ass and then he's going to walk away from all this

Trump is the great shame of America. As an American citizen I stand with Canada

Maybe if Trudeau didn’t assist illegals (and fentanyl) flowing into our country we wouldn’t put tariffs on Canada. MAGA

Do what y’all have to do Canada we need help ?

Whatever you think of Trudeau, that was a brilliant speech. Not a rambling rant like comrade dump. Go Canada Go

This is not going to hurt America. Trudeau is a loser. Didn't he resign? This will cripple Canada's economy, it will not effect the US. You think Canada is in a good place now?... Your crazy. Canada f'd around and now they are going to find out.

Also if Canada is already dealing with the drug issues why are we doing this tariff with them

Canada's Trudeau is the dictator, not Putin. Funny how all these dicators, Trudeau, Zelensky, US demo party call Trump and Putin dictators...they call everyone exactly what they themselves actually are

Australia stands proudly with Canada we are so very proud of you all . TRUMP YOU ARE DISGRACEFUL

What liberals don’t know is this is a way to get Canada to the negotiating table along with other countries. It works ????

To hell with Canada we don't believe you and we will find someone else to do business with

Give us hell canada. Its he only way to get rid of this administration

Canada: The brain of north america.

Talk about isolating the US from everyone else. Just makes no sense at all. I would move to Canada, it's a great place.

???❤❤❤???????VIVA CANADA!

I stand with Canada. I don't fuck with Trump and his cronies.

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

It’s time all countries stand up to the USA as Canada is doing so. Put tariffs on your country, return the favour and do it back.

My advise to Canadians is that they should as quickly as possible unite with other nations in protection of beautiful Canada . At least most Americans have lost the seriousness and the truth for a unknown duration .

Canada?from??Indonesia

Just one US Citizen apologizing to all of Canada.?. I am sorry this has happened and I apologize for my fellow citizens that voted for this administration.

I am unfortunately American and I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine!! I voted for her!

America does not need Canada. This is what Americans' voted for.

Good for you ? ? Canada

Who cares? Seriously Of course he's upset. Canada relies heavily on the U.S., with about 75% of its exports going to America, making us a major contributor to their GDP. Instead of making other countries richer, we should focus on manufacturing and building here at home. This would keep more money circulating in the U.S., boosting economic growth and strengthening our own GDP. A stronger domestic economy means more jobs, higher wages, and greater financial stability for Americans. Regardless of who’s president, we need fair trade policies that benefit the U.S. just as much as our partners.

Definitely an articulate speaker- unlike Trump’s vocabulary of a 4th grader. \n\nWill Trudeau’s speech be broadcast on Fox News? The MAGA viewers need to watch this.\n\nSpoiler alert: All the Republican Congressmen puppets will line up and condemn Canada.

I am eastern German and wanted to go on vacation to Pennsylvania, had already booked. which I will now cancel and rather go to CANADA and spend my nice EUROS there. Thanks Trump for that one love Canada

I am Ukrainian, stand with Canada !!!!

Trump only did this cause he wanted Canada to become his beloved 51 state, and Canada denied. Canadians are the best, f@ck Trump. All support from Denmark ?? ❤

Trudeau shut up wacko from Canada and Canadians

Governor Trudeau needs to realize Canada eats at the little kid table.

AMERICAN HERE. PLEASE BOYCOTT AMERICAN GOODS, BOYCOTT AND STOP BUYING TESLA, IT IS OK WE KNOW YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING CANADA. I STAND WITH CANADA . AMERICA IS NOW BEING GOVERN WITH A KING AND REPUBLICANS GESTAPO. WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT COME 2026 WE WILL GET THE HOUSE BACK FROM THESE DICTATORS.

Canada has no tariffs on US goods today?

American here, Canada is looking like a good place to live. Trump is just like Putan. I am so disgusted. I stand with Canada!
