Trump has declared war on all of the US allies, but has decided to give his new ally Russia and buddy Putin a pass. Isn’t it clear by now, that Trump and the GOP are clearly Russian assets?; there is no other plausible explanation for what has happened with Mexico, Canada, Europe and of course Ukraine. Trump is obviously working together with the Russians, to create a new World order led by Putin, with Trump as his second in command. The GOP are traitors.

From an American citizen, GIVE TRUMP HELL CANADA!!! Please make new trade partners and new alliances. Cut the US out and off completely. This is going to hurt Americans very badly, as you say. Trump is sick. He is a want to be dictator. He wants to be like Putin, and like Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and Erdogan! This may very well be the end of American as world leader... This may be our very end.

How about we hear him in court has everyone forget what he's done and doing to Canada and using this turbulent time to try and save his sorry ass don't fall for it if he really cared we would have had a new PM long ago and sing would've got that pension and he's stepped down and closed parliament but still spending billions

Canada better elect a new Prime Minister because this guy is horrible.

Canada, UK, Ukraine, Turkey and EU (without Hungary) should make some New Union

I wish Canada would make us a new province

Wow great speech, especially first minute. He isn't scared of our new traitor president. Kudos to Canada for standing up to our lousy bully. Sadly, its just one lousy businessman doing this to everyone. Nice work MAGA. What you gotta say now?

These are incredible and true words. Simply said with intelligence. A truly remarkable leader, sorry that you will lose him Canada. I support you and Ukraine. From New Zealand ??

But Trump promised you a golden era he didnt say for who....apparently for the working middle class- .its looking less shiny for you, ?? Things are going to cost more for all.of us, well- now in Canada our eggs are now cheaper as we have to shop by bus! The Bourbon is off the shelves, and I maybe need to make a new list for help from Santas elves; His billionaire pals, tho will be entering that new golden age, and chumming with Putin to try and appease any Russian rage ! The Donald has acted and now we all pay, the skies today in North America all grey.

I am a Canadian and agree with Trump. Working on my citizenship! Tired of conservatives, liberals and democrats!!\n\nJustin Trudeau will fuck this up, like he told Zelenskyy to not take the deal with Trump!\n\nJT is a traitor to Canada… Oops, I mean New India.

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

Canada is the new leader of the free world.

Praise the Father, Son & Holy Spirit for President Trump and his boldness. It is time for Canada to vote for a new Prime Minister. 10 years of poor Canadian leadership. Instead of extending peace he calls the current USA leadership derogatory names. Does he forget that President Trump received the popular vote! Wake up Canada!

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

Myself a humble, quiet, soft spoken overly apologetic Canadian from Alberta will explain to the Orange clown loving Americans what just happened. (just in case the sudden politeness/professionalism was a cerebral barrier) ..My boss gave your boss the middle finger and had a talkie talk to him like you would a child or someone with severe mental disabilities... and, btw.... Canada welcomes Maine, Washington state and Oregon as our new provinces if they want or need to defect. No questions or security check involved.. all good ..we get it! come on up! Free Tim Horton's coffee on me!!

I am a retired Dairy farmer who grew up in New York State and now lives in Florida.This is who I am. I don't know who's to blame the most. Benedict Trump is a traitorous President or all the voters who voted for him. Truly, what was the attraction? Now look at this mess. I can and do apologize to Canada, but I am just one person. P.S. I didn't vote for that Ass H_le.

USA is planning to take territories that have rare earth minerals (to compensate for the Chinese blockade of such minerals), or other strategic resources. This includes Canada (minerals, oil), Greenland (geographic security), Panama (logistic security), and Ukraine (minerals).\n\nUSA is also using rhetoric to pave the way for a war on Europe, so that USA and Russia can divide Europe between them. The words being used are that Europe is no longer democratic or secure (Vance) or that Europe is generally a bad place in a bad situation (Trump).\n\nEurope would do well to create their own military, and reduce their dependencies on USA as well as Russia. Europe would do well to seek other allies and new alliances, and to prepare for war.

How much have you increased inspecting foreign cargo to check for illegal substances?\nThere are still migrants flying into Canada and walking across the border being picked up by the bus load transporting them to sanctuary cities like New York. What are you doing to prevent migrants use your country as a stopping point to walk into the US?\nYou need to do more. Look what Mexico has done.

As Swiss and European, we must stand together Canada and uphold our shared values. Unity makes us stronger in the face of evolving global dynamics, including the new partnerships emerging between the U.S. and Russia

Canada the new America?

As strong as Canada is, they will be stronger once the people have their election in this weird new era.

We do not respect this new communist party. The American people are with Canada and Mexico and go after that idiot he is the most unfit man for any office except in a nursing home where he belongs. Lori

Well said from a New Zealander! I support Canada ?? ❤️.

Quit calling it a war Trudeau, they just showed us that they are taking care of themselves...trump will provide americans with what they need... You however have done nothing but take from us canadians..you made our country a drug pit..just drive thru any small to bc towns and look at how many more drug addicts are wandering the streets..10x more since your new drug laws...you give our money away, and how did you get so rich when you gov. Pay heck is only a specific amount?...you soend more canadian tax payers money on a two week vacation that what two average canadian house holds make in a year...rent is outrageous, inflation has put people in the poor house, and in the very end your ego is trying to look good just so you can go off into the rest of your life in your own delusion...go away man. Why dont you support us canadians by accepting the new financial hike and get us on to making momey in different ways...quit complaining and quit trying to get us into a war...when someone puts crap on me, i dont let them own me any further, i just cut them off and get on to living by rolling up my sleeves and doing the work... Trudeau, your just a politician who failed us, quit using the priminister position to make thinhs worse for canada...youve proven that you really dont care about canada, and that you have gotten rich by pocketing taz payers money...go away man...canadians, do fall into the spin doctor media war creating wimpering crap..lets get the right person in seat, manufacture what we need to, rebuild the military that we use to have, and get rid of the liberal party...truedau has done worse to us than usa has...

Canada you are a great democratic country with a vibrant culture with a great economy, you do not deserve to be treated the way you are by the dictator Trump & his Republicans, that is what disrespect is…Trump needs to apologise to Canada & it’s people. The USA is now becoming a world menace, I hope all the nations of the world take notice of Trump’s arrogance & egoism which will start new conflicts & wars soon.\nGood luck to my Canadian friends, with lots of love & respect from Türkiye. ❣️?????❣️

NICE!! hes finally showing that he hag a set of balls, I think I have a whole new respect for you Justin !! LOVE YOU CANADA !!! LETS KEEP UP THE UNITY< WERE AWESOME !!!

Australia ??stands with Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? \nTrump complains about Canada — but new data shows spike in U.S. drugs and guns coming north - CBC\nHumpty Dumpty is a psychopath and hypocrite \nMidterms2026 VOTE ? Special Elections start APR 1st Florida

Yes EVERYONE IN CANADA IS COSYING UP TO THE LYING MURDEROUS GENOCIDAL MANIC REGIME INSTALLED BY THE COMMONWEALTH OF BRITISH IMPERIAL DUCHEBAGS USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND ETCETERA IN PALESTINE. SO FCU* YOU & YOUR HONESTY & POLITENESS ?

Oh Canada ??, strong and free, our country is already great and the best in the world. Hopefully, the USA will be great again someday but I think they need a new leader ,just saying.

I'm british and was giving trump the benefit of the doubt but then he picked on Canada(we have the same head of state) and today his vice president started bitching about the british military, seems he forgot about the over 630 troops that came back in body bags after Britain stood right next to the usa after the new york attack. I'm feeling a bit low even though he's not targeting us. Allies should stick together

America = Canada = UK = Autralia = New Zealand\n\nThey should all become one country, I see no difference between them fr..

Ok I need some help understanding this. If it’s a dumb idea for the US then why isn’t it a dumb idea for Canada too? As I understand it, the US tariffs mean things imported from Canada get a few slapped on top and that is paid by Americans, to discourage them from buying Canadians things. Why wouldn’t Canada continue importing US things as before and not put extra fees on top, so they don’t have to find new suppliers and cause disruption? Then it is just America punching itself in the face not both of them.

Canada should join the eu. They would have more offer of immigrants and new markets!

As someone from New York, I think what we are doing to our two best friends, Canada and Mexico is not in our interests to say the least, and we're already seeing our electric costs go up in NYS because of this chicanery. I am with my Canadian and Mexican friends.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

It doesn't matter what Canada or Mexico does, the Orange Moron in Chief will just make up another lie. He still thinks he's a corrupt New York City Developer. If I wasn't sure if Trump was a Russian asset before, I am pretty sure now. How stupid do you have to be to support this idiot.

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

Canada you should have done a deal with UK, Australia and New Zealand and today you won’t be in this position. Why did you trust one country so much.

Canada, Europe, Japan, Norway, Ukraine, New Zealand, S-Korea, UK, Australia, etc. - the New West

Canada+Australia+UK+New Zealand, CANZUK can become a formidable third-force. Binded by Westminster Parliamentary System, under the British Monarch; it can already become a superpower!

Absolute support here to Canada from Scotland UK, also representing South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. ?????????????????

We’re definitely gonna take a hit in upstate New York. Canada provides us with most of our electricity. And people to blame are Trump and his cronies.

What trump is doing is sheer hurtful lunacy. He’s just bullying. Why? Some republican sanewasher said on CNN Taiwan was building a chip factory in America because of tariffs. That’s bs. It will take YEARS for industries to move to America because of tariffs. And there’s just no need. Wonder if trumps new hairdo is hiding horns because he is doing evil, hurtful stuff and helping nobody but the rich. LOVE YA CANADA!!

Our Government doesn’t give a ? about us. It’s almost too expensive to live. Struggling has become our new norm. As long as their pockets are full, that’s all that matters. Sure wish you were our President …. Why can’t America be like Canada?…

Please send me info on how to get assistance starting a new business in Canada using all Canadian products.

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.

??????????❤ Europe, Ukraine, Canada, Australia & New Zealand ??
