I sincerely apologize for the MAGA Republicans that appear to have lost their minds. Why so many people support a wannabe dictator, I do not know. Why so many people failed to vote, I do not know. I hope this does not last long. Frankly, it's already gone too far. I live in Minnesota. We as a State we deeply appreciate Canada, our neighbors to the North.

My Canadian health products I use for my colon has gone up 50% today. Unemployed, prices high at grocery store and my stock investments I use to survive and pay my bills tanked as market has reached bottom. Thanks to Trump we Americans will go on a recession and a depression soon.

Big support from Finland. We have nothing against American people, but your president has gone mad. He's not just abandoning his old allies, he's attacking them.

We *all* need to wake up that the US has, plain and simply, become a completely unreliable partner. With allies like these, nobody needs enemies. Hopefully Europe, Canada, Mexico and Ukraine can somehow band together to stand against this nonsense, because bowing to the trump administration will only embolden them to demand even more and blackmail each of us individually into submission. Yes, it'll be tough - but always think of what Ukraine has gone through, it's an easy stand for us.

Am much as it will hurt us Americans. I want Canada's to know I am fully with you guys. I got my generator ready as I know what's coming next. May we all weather this horrible storm and come out stronger. Hopefully, the Americans who believe in a con man and his cronies finally wake up and rid us of them all. If they do, I'm certain America will not fall for this kind of man for at least another 50 years. Sometimes, people don't realize what they have until it's gone.

Ambassador Joe Kennedy wanted to appease A. Hitler\n\nWhen that news got back to\nA REAL President of the United States within A few hours Joe Kennedy was told to pack up the kids you're relieved as Ambassador.\n\nThis new CEO of the Federal Government should be impeached immediately for Treason, Dereliction of Duty, and putting every American man, woman, & child in harms way. \n\nThis crook Rapist Tax Fraud\nshould be relieved of Duty as soon as possible he's obviously gone way to far.

This moron isn't gone yet

Ha ha. Canada is gone.

I am Ukrainian. I support you, peace-loving Canada! The old man has gone crazy!

trump and maga are not protectees of americans or america, they are only self serving.\nfentynel is bs, trumps candy man ronnie was doling out fentenyl right in the white house with no count maintained. no individual it was given to, nothing, except for the annual report, it was there during trump/maga admin. gone when they gone. there is a date it was given, to whoever? in the white house.

Trudeau is a piece of s*** the most Canadians hate even his wife left him and his party is in the process outing him should be gone in the next week. This idiot is not fit to run a hot dog stand.

Trudeau is an idiot and put us in a vulnerable position via his policies and snarky rhetoric toward Donald Trump over the last decade. He's a child and can't be gone soon enough.

From England admiring Canadas response.This is a time for the UK , Europe , Canada ,Mexico etc to free themselves as much as possible from the US and build stronger ties economically , militarily and diplomatically until this administration is long gone

Trudeau don't give a s*** He will be gone in a month ?\nAlthough Canadian people will suffer though ?

How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

Great speech from Trudeau, thank you for speaking to us. Trump is a old, disgusting piece of crap. He needs to be gone along with his moronic cabinet and the spineless Republicans.

When has anyone ever gone against Canada ???? Wtf maga... careful what you wish for

Who cares what Trudeau says-- he resigned and will be out of office very soon. He has an all time low approval rating and does not represent what Canadians feel. Can't wait until he's gone, good riddance.

From Portugal much love my Canadians!!!!! I dont understand what has gone through Trumps mind!

Trust me, I want my President gone. \n\nGeorge Davis

I'm not seeing or hearing Trump supporters celebrating their hero's leadership anymore. Where has the voice of the majority voting public gone.

Imagine the frustration of having to deal with a 78 year old returd!! Thank God he's not 50, but will be gone soon...

As a Canadian who lives in (largely French-speaking) Quebec, I don't know if our gov't even NEEDS to tariff American consumer goods, the people here are already boycotting US goods and companies en masse. EVERYBODY is doing it - and the pace isn't going to recede anytime soon. Even after the Orange Turd is long gone, trust me, Canadians will remember this! The American state has proven it cannot be trusted. They have unilaterally broken the trade agreement (negotiated by the previous Donald J Chump administration) on the flimsiest of reasons, the 00.2 % of fentanyl that flows over the border into the US from Canada. That deal now obviously not worth the paper it was signed on.

Donald Dump is a dumpster fire. He and JD are complete idiots, Canada doesn't allow drugs into US, LMFAO. They have single handedly ruined of decades of partnership and friendship, gone for ever in just a few weeks! We might be small, but mighty, unfortunately it will be everyday Americans who will feel the pain. Millions less trips to USA from Canadians, BuyCanadian, all US alcohol no longer available throughout Canada, AND Gov'ts not allow US companies to bid on procurement. 100's of Billions will be lost to everyday Americans, and remember you have Donny and JD for it all!

I had to stop listening to this panty waste! We have been trying to understand for TEN YEARS, what the Liberal/NDP Coalition has been doing/saying. Why did it take a President from another country, to threaten tariffs for them to do their jobs? Sell Out Singh, is just as much to blame, as is Croatia Freeland, Mark “Carnage” Carney! Carney probably made a deal with DT for all of this!! I am not a fan of DT, not even close, and it pains me to agree with some of the things he’s saying. JT, says 1% of drugs come from here. That’s 1000% ? ?!! They don’t even check the ports. This dude at the border is a friend of JT’s, just like everyone in his cabinet! His old babysitter, his best man, at his wedding… IRS an absolute disgrace what’s happening here! I/we just want our country back, that’s it! We NEED an election and complete change of government! JT, the failed drama teacher, had zero business being a politician, let alone a PM!! He is the absolute disgrace of Canada! His legacy, is FAILURE. Hopefully these tariffs leave when Trudope/Carnage and Sell Out are gone from office! ??????????

Trudeau the outgoing PM has gone mad, another phool in making..

What's more disturbing than the actions of trump (Putin's puppy) is the vast number of Americans who support him. Ronald Reagan will be turning over in his grave thinking that the Republicans have gone Commie

The Trump supporters I know either have no clue what he’s doing, or they believe that he’s just bargaining for better deals because they think America is getting screwed by our allies. This is all nonsense of course. \n\nThe American right has gone through ten years of brainwashing by conservative media outlets, and they really believe Trump will somehow bring back the America from 60+ years ago. They are in a cult, and they may double down on their fanaticism with these retaliatory tariffs.\n\nI watched sanity be replaced with complete craziness, and I do not know how we can finally get these people to realize they were misled.

Has the price of maple syrup just gone up? UK :)\n(totally agree with everything said) \nAlso with Ukraine

I can't be arsed to listen to this ? end, Trump just struck a 160 billion dollar deal in chip manufacturing that is only the start of what he is going to do for America.\nJust one deal has just put Trudeau back in his box ?\nThe sooner this commie establishment puppet is gone the better it will be for Canada.\nGood luck with this puppet talking for you Canada, I wish you well!

To all democrats now using this to hate Trump screw you all \n\nStudy the history \n\nAll the money we gave for free and now the middle class in America is gone destroyed by democrats \n\nSCREW YOU DEMOCRATS

Thank goodness there are heroes like Trudeau taking a prominent stance on the world stage. It gives me hope that our allies have not gone mad, even if some of my countrymen have. We admire you and support you, Canada. Thanks for telling the truth, boldly. We love you, Trudeau.

To all democrats now using this to hate Trump screw you all \n\nStudy the history \n\nAll the money we gave for free and now the middle class in America is gone destroyed by democrats \n\nSCREW YOU DEMOCRATS

Sadly this can all be fixed, just rise up and impeach Trump again. Attacking your friends and allies is morally corrupt, but it’s not surprising when watching all the Trump administrations rhetoric on everything else they are tearing down and risking and costing our US friends on all fronts. As a Canadian, I will not be going back to the US until this President and this disgusting rhetoric is gone.

I see that Meloni Joli is wearing her military combat outfit! Is she the 'increase in defense spending' that you promised to Trump. Trudeau is going to give us all a 'reach around'! Now Trudeau has given a sole source contract of 40 Billion to the Quebec company SNC Lavalin to build new high speed train between Toronto and Montreal! That money should have gone right to Defense spending. Meanwhile there is not even bus service between Calgary and Edmonton, two Alberta cities with a combine population of more than 3 million people.

From Portugal I stand with Canada. Trump has gone too far. Way too far and America is going to pay for this for decades. This is one of the darkest periods in US history and spineless Republicans are standing by and letting it happen

Trump wants Trudeau gone, impo, and while I agree that he needs to be gone asap, this is NOT the way to go about it. Carney will come in and he’s even more of an extremist than Trudeau. This is only going to hurt the citizens of BOTH countries. Pierre is the only hope and he can’t get in fast enough as far as I’m concerned.

Canada, we love and respect you all.\nThe United States did not place these ridiculous tariffs on Canada. Donald Trump and his red capped followers are responsible for this. The majority of Americans are opposed to the tariffs and Donald trump. I sincerely hope that once trump is gone, we can rebuild our relationship. I deeply apologize for what this criminal has done to you all.

Good speech. Now let’s also look at what has gone on last 9 years in Canada. Mr. Trudeau It was dumb to divide the provinces. It was dumb for you to shut down every project that Alberta had to work with other provinces and trade with other parts of the world. It was dumb for you to continually suck up to Quebec while ignoring the rest of the country. The corruption we know of that your party created such as We Charity and Arrivecan app is just the tip of the iceberg of billions of dollars you have robbed from Canadian taxpayers that could have fixed health care and provided much needed tax relief to all Canadians. While you are speaking about dumb I pray that Canadians realize and understand what the Liberal and NDP parties have done to our country the last 9 years and vote your party out. Canadians need to stop being dumb with who we have in power. We cannot keep going like this.

This idiot has not got the memo. Nor others likely. But he's gone.

Mad respect to Canada for standing up to their southern neighbors who have clearly gone completely off the rails.

US credibility isn't on the line, it's gone

Reading as much as I could of the comments below, it is with great respect that we as human can still care for one another even when we are from different countries, continents, backgrounds an so one. Evil will always try to do it's thing and we must come together to abolish it. Being from different countries in this situation is not much we can do. Maybe stop importing from America, at least till this administration is gone in 4 years. The way it's going , America will lose a lot of it's allies and unless tyranny and dictatorship follows, we will vote the so called politicians out of office and claim our rights to a better way of life. Because now, America suffers and other countries will follow. And it is just the beginning. Learn how to become stronger and don't vote for convicted felon that is doing Russia's bid. Not sure how the followers can say with a straight face that what Trump is doing is for the betterment of our country . God bless us all.

Trudeau loves Trump. Before these tariffs, Trudeau was one of the most despised prime ministers in Canadian history. Now people around the world are praising him. We don’t need people to stand with us, we need him and his party gone!

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

have gone through the comment section, most Americans are just emotional. your president might not be a perfect person but truly he is putting your country first. As an outside and an African, USA as a country has been taken advantage of by most western countries. China is taking over the whole world.

That's the big point what Prime minister from Canada said , this is just what they want that the allies weaken and Trump traps in it , Al this years so many work to build strong Canada and USA is just in a second gone because 1 stupid Man and that's President Trump

While I am going to financially suffer from this, I want to see our country start new deals with Europe and Asia. Until tRump is gone and ALL of his minions have left office, I don't want to see any deals with the US. \nWe knew Trump wanted to destroy Canada financially. This was NOT about fentynal.\nWe have enough wood, enough oil, and enough resources to establish good relationships around the world. And sustain fellow Canadians.

Get trump out of office NOW. The republican party is dead and gone, replaced as the new American oligarchs .....headed by Elon musk.

This dumb looser will be gone in 5 days- that’s why is so cocky!
