Canada had a chance to become our 51st state, but chose to stay under British rule and now look what a mess you have. 😢

Brampton Ontario is the epicenter of Fraud in Canada 🇨🇦 just like in the United States 🇺🇲 with Minneapolis Minnesota.

Im Canadian, I cant think of a reason I would be in the states for more then 30 days, but if so, I have no problem with this as we should be doing this in Canada as well. Too many criminals!

STOP going to USA, unless you want to see their JAIL 😢 Lots of problems in states, zero safety 😮 At the moment Canada is the best country in the world for safety.

I love how individual states are begging and pleading with Canadians to come and visit them all while the federal government just layers on crazy after crazy.

The states can fk off

Honestly the batshit crazy comment reflects the #1 concern most Canadians have with the United States. We have conservatives and religious types but they're all more or less respectful and they don't try to control Canadian society. In comparison, at least a fifth of Americans are borderline fascists, and none of us want anything to do with those types of people. Since Trump took office they've become a hundred times worse, as now they're even threatening annexation. Sorry if it's hard to accept, but America has a serious problem right now, even if you're a good person.

She is unfit and mentally ill to serve in the United States Armed Forces facts. Don’t care about your feelings.

The worst of US brings out the best out of others all around the world. It is wellness for my mind to listen to such an educated states man for a change and his clear, precise and well articulated speech. ?

Rational Americans should divorce themselves from the hillbilly MAGA Americans who voted for Trump. If the southern hillbilly states threaten to secede again, they should be encouraged to do so.

USR= United states of Russia.

Trump is paving the way for Russia to take over. Russia will have the United States and Canada.

Lol, what a dummy. Doesn't her know that that doesn't work that way? Sure go ahead and go for it, america accounts for almost 80% of Canada's total goods and service exports ? what makes this even more worse for Canada's prime minister is the fact that they recieve just over 60% of imports from guess who.... the United States. Where as america has the ability to stop all trade to canada all together, be just fine with the reserves we have. While increasing trade import and export with another country we already do business with, making them very happy in the process and still making huge savings in the process. When 80% and 60% of your exports and imports respectively. Consists of literally sharing its only common border with the united states would mean a complete scrap of the total infrastructure since they would hace then compensate through sea and air through the arctic and distances of 10x of what they are used to. Then it starts to make sense as to why trump wants Greenland. Look this it just a bluff by the Canadian prime minister that supposedly resigned not long ago but his tyrant ass don't really wanna leave. Plus, you really think dude can make up for all that loss and go find it through another contry? Hahaha? yeah okay good luck with that. Canada shoukd ne disappointed in the man even more. He's not for you, he's for himself and the best for him and the other lobbyists. ???

well it's honorable, but also a bit wasted trying to present facts to those coconuts from the soviet states of america.

It's been 3 years and Putin still hasn't managed to conquer Ukraine, but the Tsar of all the Russias only needed 3 weeks to take the United States of America--and without losing a single soldier.

In the case of high treason, i.e. treason against the interests of the people of the country. Who came to power? A man who thinks not about the interests of the US people, but about the interests of a handful of billionaires, including political circles in Russia and China. The war against Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg of the war of the ruling dictatorships of the Russian Federation and China against the poor strata of the people of their own countries, against Western civilization and the US and the EU as a part of it. This is clearly seen in the propaganda against human rights and freedoms in these countries, the destruction of trust between people. What to do in this case? Wait until the US as one of the foundations of modern civilization is destroyed by short-sighted supporters of anarchy, monarchies and psychopathic dictators who do not respect other people's borders and treaties? Doesn't Trump's actions contradict the basic principles of the US and Western civilization? The United States is a country of democracy, humanism, human rights and freedoms, a country that has become home to the world of many people who have improved the quality of life of billions of people all over the planet. Question: When will the current US President/poppet of dictatorships be impeached?

Hey Donnie,we will never be a US state,if you want a new state try epstein island ,we know you've been there

Canada is now closer to becoming another EU country than the 51st US state

My dream is that Canada would join the United States to create a super power like no other. But I don’t agree with how Trump is trying to force their hand. God bless EVERYONE.

I feel bad for the Americans , they put him there to be their President as they are hoping to have a better life . I’m sure some who voted for him now have the regrets as they didn’t expect that to him . I love that Canadian President he has a good state of mind thinking what is best for his country . He wanted to end the war between Ukraine and Russia but he is starting his own war , ridiculous ?

Trudeau should be annoited duel president of both the United States and Canada. All special operations forces of Canada, UK etc should be strategizing and converging on a raid and seizure of the Maga Administration.

maybe trump want Canada and Mexico to be Amercia's 51th and 52th state. but even I know it can't be achieved

I wish someone would also offer a word of support for China, which has been enduring the United States' bullying for at least eight years...

Truidell is an idiot commie pole smoker … let’s take Canada as the 51st state

Also, gosh.. Canadian politicians are good looking. Look at those faces we have in the States ?

The only problem I have with Trudeau's statment is stating that trump is smart. Wtf? In no way, shape, or form is that person smart.

Get ready for MASSIVE inflations United States of America!!! USA USA USA!

USAR United States of America and Russia

time for the cuck chair Trudeau is just gonna make Canada suffer even more y'all are morons mind as well just say you guys will be another state for the U.S.

STOP! The Canadiens are not our allies. We, here in the United States of America, ARE FREE PEOPLE! Canadiens are Socialists, you are not a free people. You have no way to self correct by free elections. Look at what TRUDEAU did to those truckers. No accountability! Look what they did to President Trump. WE THE PEOPLE SPOKE...and now retribution. Canada needs to adopt a similar system. Trudeau is a piece of shit!

Trump wanted Canada as its next State….. would be better, if American became entirely Canada.

Hold on there, boy, questionable, immigration policies. Both Canada and the United States were built on immigration, unless you are part of the first nations these types of inflammatory statements, are historically illogical. Countries like the United States of America, Canada, and Australia, New Zealand, and many parts of South America all grew with immigration. People in these countries that have been around a generation or more who decide to pull up the ladder have short memories from where they came. Regarding housing, it is always been and issue in many places and is affected by foreign investors and interest rates. Usually at some point there is a correction, some people win some people lose.

Typical - everyone in the comments is either from liberal brainwashed states like Germany and Canada, or they are gay liberal from America.

YOU DEEP STATE BASTARDS THRIVE ON DIVISION\nESPECIALLY GEO-POLITICAL DIVISION\nRUSSIANS ARE AS MUCH GOD'S CHILDREN AS WE ARE\nTHEY FOUGHT THE GERMANS ALONGSIDE US ALLIES IN PREVIOUS WARS\n\nBUT YOU NEED A BOGIEMAN\nTO JUSTIFY YOUR 'DEFENCE' SPENDING\nSPENDING THAT GOES STRAINGHT INTO YOUR POCKETS\n\nWE KNOW HOW YOU OPERATE\nSO SHUTTHEFUKUP ALREADY

Canadians are not anti-American. But we take great offense when our sovereign nation is dismissed as just another U.S. state, ignoring our 150+ years of history and the sacrifices of our soldiers who fought on the frontlines—often before the U.S.—in WWI and WWII. After 9/11, we stood by America, fighting and dying alongside you in Afghanistan, just as we did in Normandy. Canada has been the U.S.'s closest ally for the last 70 years, and the idea of a fentanyl border crisis (until recently) is simply misleading.\n\nIf the roles were reversed, would you boo at a hockey game? We still ❤ America!

The United States has elected a president who is turning its longest-standing allies into adversaries. This isn't just about Canada. The entire Western world is watching. While the U.S. has the power to harm its allies, those allies also have the ability to push back, and the USA is rapidly losing friends who may not return. As America’s alliances weaken, so do the obstacles its rivals face. \n\nTake Australia, for example. Should it continue aligning with the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region? Should it continue hosting critical American surveillance infrastructure? Should it keep supporting and supplying the U.S. fleet? The USA enjoys a trade surplus with us, but do we need to spend USD$50 billion over the next decade buying your hardware? The Europeans seem to be a more trustworthy ally, who don't make us a target.\n\nThe USA would argue that their presence ensures security, but the reality is that countries like Australia only face threats because they are tied to U.S. strategic interests. Perhaps a more pragmatic approach that avoids unnecessary antagonism with China would serve us better. \n\nAs for Canada, it will adapt and find new trading partners, just as Australia did when China attempted economic coercion. And through it all, Canada, know that Australia will stand with you—always.

Trump is serious about making Canada a US state....these are the opening moves to take it over. Beat it down severely economically, weaken it, get internal strife escalated, move in to 'save it' IMO.

Europe stands with Canada. We will make US a Canadian state if we have to.

The reopening of coal mines, oil rigs, wells, refineries, and power plants, along with the return of several companies to the United States similar to the trends observed during Trump's first term, indicates a positive outlook for job creation. For the first time in many years, we have reopened America to mineral mining opportunities, Zelensky's supporters are beginning to turn against him regarding negotiations for assistance in the Ukraine conflict. Engaging in discussions with Putin to reach an agreement aimed at halting the war should not be misconstrued as forming an alliance with him; rather, it is a pragmatic approach. In diplomacy, it is common to negotiate with individuals one may not personally favor, this will lead to a Huge Mineral rights deal

Im from The Great State of Illinois and I Stand With Canada and Ukraine ????

Put tariffs on goods Canada sends to RED states. If the Republican voters start to feel the pinch they miiiight grow a braun cell and realize Trump has never been a friend to the US

yes, how will he make America great when he came out of all the agreements and increased duties, now what will he do with this money that he saved. After all, overflowing with money is negative for the state, it’s easy. One is extremely thrifty and poorer, and the other generously pours in and gets more.

Throughout modern history, including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghan Civil War, and now the Ukraine-Russia War, the United States has repeatedly betrayed its ideals and allies. History won't repeat itself, but it will be very similar. It’s time for the world to mobilize to replace the United States! Bringing America into History

Canada is not the USA it is part of something much greater it is called the Commonwealth the United States may be failing it's empire declining because of one man I am Australian two countries you can always count on and they are the United Kingdom and Australia

He is not breaking up with America. He is breaking up with the United States. Hopefully, everything goes back to normal relationships.

Trump weakenes the USA by breaking alliances.\nThe USA is strong (also military) because the USA has military bases all over the world at their alliance states.\n\nIdk why Trump would weaken the US on purpose, only to earn more money. Thats insane.

American here. My take? This is not about protectionism this is about isolationism. \nWhy would Trump want this? This is about becoming the first American dictator of the Western Hemisphere. \nHyperbolic? Nope. Trump controls the Senate, House, Doge, Project 2025 is in the White House, all the branches of the Defense Department, the Attorney General and his offices, six of the nine seats on the Supreme Court, and assigned over 250 Federal judgeships to the Federal courts which are a lifetime appointment. The ONLY thing that is standing in the way of Trump are the Federel judges that actually understand the constitution and do not want to destroy this nation. The fly in the ointment? Courts can issue an order based on the constitution or our laws, but does not have any way to enforce them if Trump should just disregard their order. That is how close we are to a dictatorship.\nWake Up America.?\n P.S. Sorry Canada! Coalesce, find new trade partners, and leave the United States behind. We are no longer worthy of your friendship.

Shut your mouth 51st State

Make that make sense! I couldn't have said it any better. Trudeau was never my favorite person in politics, but this latest stand against the tyrant that is just south of our great country! His justification for his tariff fantasy is the trade of fentinyl across the border and the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. As Trudeau has stated, paraphrasing a well known and respected publication, the Wall Street Journal, that this is a very DUMB move! That is an understatement. This is clearly not about drugs or illegal immigrants, it never was. Trump is supposed to be smart? This latest revelation proves otherwise. Just look at how they treated Zelensky during his last visit to the oval office. That showed a complete lack of respect! I fear we are in for a dismal for years!

Will just turn you into our state....
