To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

Not to us for us

Trudeau for US President, 2026, let's go!!!

And it wouldn't occur to anybody in the US to ask themselves WHY they stimulate this enormous Fentanyl trafficking and consumption? I mean let's get this straight - if they wouldn't consume Fentanyl like sweets there would not be a problem. So the problem is the US addiction rate and btw it's not the job of the rest of the world to f*cking to watch over US citizens like they are kids. Grow the fck up and deal with your problems instead of blaming others.

Help us from this orange tyrant?

The fact that CNN cut away when Trudeau switched to French says a lot about the US capacity for understanding

After a speech like this, discourse and solutions are supposed to follow. It's how we work with peers in school, it's how business allies work.\n\nInstead, Trump may see this as a harsh message and fire up the heat to turn this into a spectacle-- arguments, ego, threats. And then the actions will be reactions and attacks instead of solutions. i think the issue lies in that my statements-- no matter if you're Red or Blue, ring factually correct to Trump\ns behavior. he's not here to save citizens or solve issues. He is here for us to watch his reality TV show-- but it's also our own reality!! \n\nHOW IS THE US AND CANADA IN A TRADE WAR RIGHT NOW IN 2025!? I don't understand!!!

Trudeau became a raly good politician.. confident. I like him, wish more were like that. Cheers to Canada from EU. Who would think US will side with Russia

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

Australian here. Great job Canada. Hope our PM will do same if Trump tries to tarrifs Australia. We have a lot of leverage against America if they try to bully us and I hope we will follow Canada's example ?

This is how a President is SUPPOSED to act. PRESIDENTIAL. I am embarrassed to be an American during these times and think our entire administration is despicable. We will be visiting Canada in our RV on our way to Alaska, and I hope you don't hate us just because we're American!

Trump gone ruin United States, they will be alone, and unfortunately china will take US place in internacional institutions.

Paula Newton is a tory shill - you don't have to kiss Trudeau's feet to recognize he's responding to US aggression exactly as Canadians want him to

Sorry, Canada, Trump represents a monkey wrench to me. We need a crisis in this country to raise the chances that we will not only unite against Trump, but the establishment as well. Truthfully, we need an alternative party in the US.

Heavy hearts here today in Canada??????. Life doesn’t have to be so hard. This is a dark day for us. We really like our neighbors the USA. \nLooking forward to the day we are joined with our fellow neighbors again in fair trade!\nWe will visit you when things are better but not until then.

Justin Trudeau is a fool who is playing a game that he cannot possibly win and will exponentially damage Canadian citizens while he blames the US government for his response which is exactly the same as the person he’s blaming

What a crock of shit. We pay 10\ntimes the tariffs on exports to Canada as they have paid the US. Now it’s an equal playing field and he’s whining and lying like he always does.

The entire US: ? We're in the middle of a hostile government takeover ?\nDo what you need to do, Canada. We support you ❤️

Not all of us voted for trump I'm against anything that man does or says\nTrump doesn't speak for me

just so you know - 50% of us in the US do NOT support this!!! from texas

As an American we don't need your Canadian garbage us Americans got us Americans.

They wanted trump they got trump, now the consequences. I am a combat veteran who has been affected by this trump administration, a man who has never served a day in the military is making decisions that affects millions of US veterans, shame on you trump, my loyalty is to the country not to this fraud president.

UK here - Well done Canada, dont back down to the Bully tactics of a despot US government run by a Pootin sickofant

Can you Canadians maybe ask your King to have his other countries put tariffs on us down here in the US? What's the point of having one if you don't ask him for a little help when bad guys come after you. My country needs to learn a lesson and the faster it happens, the less pain there is for everyone.

Canada put in place 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs, so what’s wrong with US put in place 25% tariffs on Canadian made goods?

So we’re charging them the way they charge us and it’s making a pansy cry. He’s going to hurt Canadians, that’ll show us.\nCry me a river liberal Canadians.

Us Government is an embarrassment right now

You need us more than we need you, we will do just fine.

As a US citizen living in Australia I’m proud of you Canada. I spent a lot of time in Canada ?? beautiful people and a beautiful place. You don’t deserve to be treated like this.

The problem Mr. Trudeau...is that 50% of Americans will never hear your common sense arguments and plea for working together because of Fox News and a couple sites called Truth Social and X. They will only hear that Trump says you are treating us unfairly and that illegal fentanyl is an issue. It's a made up issue. This is what Trump does.

There is one winner in the trade war between the US and Canada, the EU, China, Mexico...his name is Vladimir Putin

God help us. I have never seen anything so terrible in my 76 years from any US President. I stand with Canada, UK, Ukraine, and Europe and all our NATO allies that we used to have as friends.

Thank you Canada for being our Ally and friend. We are devastated how our allies are getting treated by our oligarchy administration. Lord help us.

Thats because Trudeau put us there

US down the hill

Please annex us!

Sorry as a American this is our life's at risk .keep your proud stance.proud stance for Canada.We are in tears losing our great country to criminals God Bless Canada we our scared stressed for our social security, health care and our anger at the thugs taking away our relationship our fear to keep breathing and enjoy our past relationships Thankyou for your love to all people God is good God help us !???????? Jim

Zelinsky will be crawling back to us, and Canada will tighten up their act, will drop the tariffs and that’s it. The United States runs the world.

People aren’t even talking about tourism because it’s not directly hit by tariffs. Over 20 billion dollars in 2024 spent by Canadians in the US for travel. Tons of people already cancelled any trips to the US to boycott. If even 10% less people go to US this year, upwards of 2 billion in tourism $ is gone , and roughly 14000 jobs estimated. \n\nImagine what else could be affected

Making an enemy of Trump is not going to work. Trudeau has no way of knowing who is coming here illegally. Our border is far too gigantic and mostly unguarded. Secure the border and Trump will back off. Your second choice will be 3rd world war. If you think Putin is going to go backwards on this you are mistaken. The Russians have invested the lives of thousands of their children so far. You don't seem to understand how dangerous a game you are playing. You are naive Trudeau and leading us to the brink of hell.

The president and his supporters...not all of us. Im so sorry. We are going down a stupid immature hole because of a reality star and a cypto bro.

We Stand With Canada. Shame on our idiot of a president. Selling us out for RUSSIA ??‍♂️ stay safe my fellow Americans

I want to become a Canadian (america has gone 2shiz..it was in the process of goin 2shiz 8 yrs ago which led 2 most of america 2 make sure a 2nd round of idiocy will not hapoen again.. that is until 4 months ago, where the majority of Americans had a contagious case of amnesia..which in result the consequence of this HUGE mistake a majority of Americans made in November is going to cost us immensely..strap up and boot up ppl its going 2get more than bumpy BRACE URSELVES

If you wanted to work with us, this wouldn’t be happening in the first place ?‍♂️

Canadians have every right to counter these grotesque measures from this grotesque US president.

The gravy train is done. But Justin thinks he is going to dazzle us with talk of fentanyl.

As an american....yes. Go after man baby trumpikov and JD blanche. Is this is boosting the liberals poll numbers. Democrats in the US could take note of what having a spine looks like.

Trump voters should be embarrassed for their supporting this deranged person Kamala Harris wouldn’t have us in this position. Trump is so greedy for money there most be something in Ukraine that he wants so he’s allowing Russia to take control of that country. Maybe it’s something to do with some type of precious minerals such as titanium,lithium etc.

You realize Canada needs us, we do not need them. This is almost comical.

Strength and honor, Canada! You still have a strong and friendly partner in us, México.
