Mr. Trudeau: Please DO NOT attribute this to the United States. This is Donald Trump doing this. There are zero sane and/or intelligent Americans who are for this. It's sad to hear you talk about us as if we all agree with the idiot in charge. God Bless America and God Bless Canada.

A lot of us Americans love you Canada stay strong

As an American, I stand with Canada.

What a dunce. Get this guy outta the discussion. He just wants to keep milking the US and Canada for his own status. Thank god clowns have a ceiling in politics. Screw you Treudue. You're the spawn of communist Fidel Castro from swinger parents who put your strings on at birth to make you a global puppet.

I wanted Trump to win because of the issues at the Mexican border. He's blackmailing Canada, an ally, after we agreed to help him. He's losing the little support he had from Canadians.

We love you Canada,I know it is Trump he sucks

I am a Black American. 90 percent of my people didn't vote for this. I stand with Canada. lol

This clown ?who took an entire country hostage by freezing parliament, the one who systematically destroyed the Canadian economy is giving us a lesson in economic strategies! Canadians want immediate elections and the repositioning of Canada in the economic war with a strong government, supported by Canadians, not with gangsters and thieves in government!

Does Canada have a fairly warm area that I can move to? At 82 I just want out of here as I can't bear the idea of living out the next four year with the insanity that has been heaped on our heads. If not maybe I will get lucky and drop dead so I don't have to watch the fall of America.

Trump is delusional. As a veteran I stand with Canada & Ukraine

I had always thought Americans prided themselves on being rugged individualists. I see many of you here would blame Canada, shirking responsibility for your shitty little life. \nIf you’ve been handed a raw deal it’s your fault. Not Canadas. Grow a pair of nuts \nFO ??\n????

We pissed off Canada\nWe are in the Darkest timeline

Yay Canada! That’s the right response. I just wish Trudeau could say Trump and his dictator ship administration and not the Americans because half of us here hate that man and completely disagree with his policies.

Canada is not a state of the U.S.A., Canada is getting these tariffs as their leader is a socialist globalist, whose agenda is an enemy of the American people. Trump knows this and is starting to rol out the consequences. More lies from the globalist.

The world should slap America economic sanctions along with all the tariffs then Canada should cut off oil & gas then in the summer cut off the power & really watch them sweat then they will be begging us to turn everything back on .

Maybe Canada can annex the US and we can get this intelligent president instead of the orange buffoon,

I am one of the millions of Americans who despise Donald Trump. He and his MAGAts are ignorant fools. Keep up the good work, Canada!\n\nI would be thrilled to migrate north to you, although you are probably being overwhelmed by inquiries from other Americans eager to do the same.

Pay up Canada and Mexico ???????? #letsgoooooo

PP for PM CANADA ?? ? ? ????????????????????\nRight Man in right positions with realistic ideas for better quality life Canadians people ?????????

Trump is nuts and Republican politicians are cowards and ignoring their responsibilities to rein this nutcase in. My deepest apologies to Canada and the rest of the world. Except to Putin - he can suck it.

There’s a MAGA clown watching this right now shaking their head in disgust saying “what a evil demonic man, he is literally lying about everything he should be in jail for the rest of his life, Trump needs to take over Canada”

Quit acting like this is a guy who Canadians actually like. Trudeau is massively unpopular and will be gone very soon, when the new Prime Minister of Canada is put in place there will be a deal. Canada has run wild for far too long getting the best of us in every way now that it is fair they act as if they have been doing us favors all along when it has been the other way around.

It's pretty simple and fair, Trumps terrifs are going to equal what you charge us. How is that not fair? Canada is just upset that Trump isn't letting America's tax payers get taken advantage of anymore. Don't let Trudeaus words fool you. He is a dumb, weak and corrupt leader.

We're with you Canada. We don't want this, either. Because you are a gentleman, like all presidents should be, you can't call him what he really is, a bully, spoiled brat, and incompetent Douch bag. Unfortunately we don't have a gentleman in the White House.

I just don't understand why is Canada responsible for American junkies? Canadians are not forcing Americans to get high. trump educates your people about drug addiction.

Trump administration already trying to set the stage for backing down. Canada and Mexico should not negotiate with terrorism. Stand their ground. Help Trump and Musk supporters finally open their eyes and see how STUPID the Trump administration actually is, and how everything that is being done (crashing the economy) will ultimately benefit the ultra rich, who can purchase failing assets for cheap.

Canada. Is Righteousness ❤️??

Virginia stands with Canada. The Trump administration is retarded for this!!?

Im a Canadian living in the us and I stand with Canada!!❤

I feel like i wanna live in Canada now!

So sorry Canada I was born there in Quebec Canada and have lived here since childhood in the US you are our neighbors and I can’t believe this is happening and my hopes are that this will all be settled. We didn’t vote for Trump so please believe as Americans that we don’t agree with this that we are not all as Americans are on board with this

I thought tariffs affected me as a US consumer? So why is Canada placing tariffs on us if it’ll just affect their citizens? Am I understanding this wrong? Would appreciate if someone could explain.

Please, annex our democratic states into Canada so you can be our President. ❤Canada Ukraine

IM SO SORRY CANADA,MEXICO,AND CHINA

NOT ALL OF US AMERICANS ARE FOR TRUMP, VANCE,, MUSK WE STAND FOR CANADA, EUKRAINE. OUR GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT

I gotta move to Canada.

Go Canada

THANK YOU!!! Thank You for doing what few have done. What few countries, what few leaders, especially our own leaders have had the BACK BONE to do. The world respects you. AMERICANS respect you!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I pray that you won't back down like other weak men and countries have. Thank You Canada, Americans love you. ?

This man is a joke. Get rid of him now Canada.

Lol, Canada tariff the usa 300% on certain resources. I cant blame trump for getting that fixed

As an American from Tennessee, I couldn’t agree more with Canada, Mexico, the EU, & Ukraine!?? ????????

As an American in California who had a family cottage in beautiful Ontario for 12 years and was welcomed by so many Canadian friends I am appalled by the American president who is a traitor. I support Canada 100% and will do everything possible to support you in this economic war with this corrupt administration.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Trump's playing hard ball with Canada and the hockey game won't be pretty

I love Canada we in America support canada

I am American and I support Trump and 100% trade war .....Trudeau is Lying ....nobody is Hurting America !!!!! We will buy from USA not CANADA and your tariffs are higher for USA than ours were for ages...~!!!!!!!!! You are dumping stuff to USA with high tariffs for a long Time~!!!

The only thing I'd say regarding this very intelligent speech is that the United States did not launch the trade war. The orange cretin did. The idiot buffoon, a national embarrasment, trump launched the trade war. Most American citizens did not want this and are deeply suffering because of him and we are truly going through it over here. Canada, we are sorry for all this stressful nonsense you are enduring as well.\n\noh, and dumbdumb trump is NOT a smart man. He can't even read.

If tariffs are bad for the consumer of the country that implements them, why would Canada respond with tariffs?

It's not about fentenyl, it's the fact that Trump wants Canada to become the 51st state so he can have total control like he does with us Americans, IMO.

When WILL CNN TALK ABOOUT ALL THE TARIFFS CANADA HAS ON US!!!!! I am a very small business owner who seals things on Etsy. I sold only one thing to Canada for $13 and the tariffs was additional $65. The Canadian paid for it however it was my one and only sale there. So how is that fair for me? How is that fair to us?
