Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

Well if Trump wants war with Canada, Canada must invite the Chinese to put a military base on our territory, the Chinese would be very happy to get closer to the Americans.

Look at this pansy shaking in his shoes. Get em Trump! We support the USA. We will see who wins in the end.

Trump is the EMEMY WITHIN. DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM THE INSDE. \n49 YEARS AGO RUSSIA CREATED A PLAN TO GET A MAN INTO THE WHITEHOUSE TO DIVIDE AND DESTROY THE UNITED STATES FROM WITHIN. RUSSIAS PLAN WORKED. RUSSIA FOUND THEIR MAN. THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS EXACTLY WHO THAT MAN IS.\nA SHOWBIZ LYING COWARD CON MAN CALLED DONALD TRUMP.

Exactly. Trump is doing this to the American people. And why?? To flatter the enemy, Putin. He is a Russian asset. Why do so many Americans don't see that. I just don't get it!?

Go,get idiot trump??

Trudeau your a lieing criminal and corrupt!! You think you can out smart president Trump?? It's about time someone put you in your place!! Best you and carny get out now!! God bless Pierre poilievre family and Canada!!!

I don't get it. I'm not an American and i hoped for trump to win just for what he said he would and for what biden did to him by making him like Hitler which is not true and almost got him assassinated but seriously...after you see what is happening, how can someone support him.

It has nothing to do with curbing fentanyl smuggling nor increasing domestic manufacturing. It is strictly Trump scheming to gouge even more money from the consumers and laundered that into the pockets of himself and his friends. Nothing more. He knows all of the costs will only get passed onto the average consumers.

The United States DID NOT launch a trade war, Donald J. Trump did... Please don't get it confused.

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

TRUMP IS SETTING UP TO ANNEX CANADA. Canada's allies in Europe are now well focused on Ukraine and Russia, a US national emergency is being manufactured in that critical resources will be withheld by Canada, and Putin's bum-boy gets to live out his fantasy emulating Putin.

TRUMP CRUMP IS DYING SICK AND FULL OF DISEASE!! GUTTER TRASH TRUMP IS TAKING AMERICA TO HELL WITH HIM. GET HIS MEDICAL RECORDS AND SEE HE IS DYING

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

As we’ve always said Trump does not care about the American people or his country! He only wanted the presidency as a get out of jail free card! He doesn’t care about anybody his ego tells him he only wants the power of a dictator and be friends with dictators and to rule like a king! God help you America you definitely have made the wrong choice! Your president is doing Putins bidding

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...

These comments are disappointing. All these Americans standing with other countries smh. Go live there! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. Why don’t you actually start trying to help OUR country be better INSTEAD OF COUNTRIES!!! How can so many people LOVE that OUR taxes go to non Americans?. Or lining the pockets of the very politicians you all are listening to? Make it make sense. Oh wait, it all makes sense when you all have TDS. The elections are OVERRRRR, how are democrats going to survive the next 4 years? This is just getting started & as you can see, Trump always gets what he wants. No more sleepy joe & kackling kamala. Soon enough NO MO Trudeau!

Falsedeau thinks Trump gives a s**t what he says. NOT!! This guy will be gone hopefully sometime in March. His soon to be replacement is very conservative! He and Trump will get along just fine. I believe most Canadians are fed up with falsedeau.

Let’s get this clear - This is not about hurting Canada with Tariff. This is all part of Trump’s plan to create panic, confusion and frustration to the American people to make us weak so he can sell us to PUTIN. The tariff to Canada, Mexico and China; his immigration racist decisions to target Latinos; the way he and Vance attacked to president Zaleski and firing federal employes is just ALL Part of a plan to create confusion, so while we scratch our head, he allied with PUTIN.

Making a mistake by validating the BS lie via stating everything that Canada is doing against fentanyl. “Don’t wrestle with pigs, you both get dirty and the pig likes it”. \n\nDumb Americans don’t understand what 1.3 B $ border plan is, they don’t know if that is enough and you’re placing yourself in a position of 1) recognizing the problem as legitimate, and 2)“are you doing enough”. Call it for what it is, bullshit - It was never about safety and fentanyl was a lame unfounded excuse. Know your audience, don’t fall into the Trump trap and speak in simple terms.

What I dont get is, why do Canada put up tarifs too??????? This will make life in Canada more expensive. I dont get it..... as he says, there are no winnes in a tarif war. So why do the same shit as Trump does? Just let the US pay 25% more... why should you pay more in Canada??? I dont get it.... this makes you just as dumb as Trump.

Ok wow i usually don't get mad about this stuff but damn if our President isn't a total dumb@ss. To do this to Canada our friend and partner and to pull this crap. WOW You suck Trump.

So the Canadians are getting blamed for the fentanyl coming across the southern border….. trump has gone looney

#1. Trump postponed so that Canada wouldn’t literally freeze them out by cutting off energy. Now that winter is ending it’s game on\n#2. If Trump wanted to start a war with Canada he needs congress. The only way to get them on his side is Canada to poke the US in the eye.\n#3. Quit talking about Fentanyl without pointing every finger at China. \n#4. If you like how Trudeau is acting now, after 9 years. That’s just a politician who knows they won’t be re-elected. He still has to protect his party though. Too little too late

Justin Trudeau is giving it to Trump with no chaser. He is standing up to this dictator and I love every word he said. You can't get any clearer than that!

trudeau the best...trumps third party interference is not necessary...team trump needs to go on a diet...trumps security should be working at the borders and in the communities to remove dangerous substances and get them the meds they need....team trump are clearly terrorists....demand a re election...\nthanks for the report...

Get ready for this country's name change to United States to North America since it's going to a dictatorship direction. The boarders aren't to keep immigrants out. It's to keep us from escaping, putting us in the same situation as North Korea. I also don't put it past that fentanyl is being supplied by the U.S. government the same way the CIA did it in contra-crack. Ladies and gentlemen we are going to be in a civil war soon because of this man and his group. Trump's presidency must end quickly.

As a European I now believe that the USA is our enemy. It's so sad and unbelievable. Even if the Democrats get elected in 2028, the damage has been done. The sheer volume of people in the USA that voted for an autocrat/dictator that disrespects the constitution is proof that the old democratic USA is mortally damaged. Trump is a monster but he's just a symptom, a phlegm coughed from the lungs of seriously damaged society

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

Trump is not the US and his behavior is not in the best interest of the US. He is the president because he is a skilled con man. However, narcissistic bullying tactics do not work forever as long as there are people with a modicum of intelligence and self respect. He’s trying to be a bully to get his way because it worked for him in the past. He’s is using his position to bolster himself financially and his ego. Everyone should stand up for themselves to include those in the US.

Polar opposite of our entitled little man-baby, Trump. This is what we get for (somehow) voting tRUMP into power AGAIN. Blows my mind.

This country is going to hell Donald Trump need to get Elon musk the hell out of there because it's f****** up his judgment

FAKE NEWS !!! CANADA BEST WATCH IT WILL END UP BEING 51 STATE. TRUMP STICKING UP FOR AMERICA WILLING PAY IT. GET RID FITNAL. BEST YET CLOSE THE BOARDER

All of this is Trumps fault. Target RED states Canada, this is the only way stupid MAGA will understand. Stabbing your allies in the back is how you become a target. Orange moron doesn't get it.

It's ironic that America declared independence from a mentally ill English King, and now Americans have put a mentally ill King in the White House. Americans are sooo stupid as a nation. Why? Because they voted in this mentally ill king. \nRIP America. \nTRUMP IS MENTALLY ILL. American needs to get out of its denial about Trump's mental state! Wake up you dumb bozos! Wake up! .

We tried to tell you dumb ass to not vote for this idiot Trump and his hinch man, Musk. Now, this is what we get. Now Trump is getting his a$$ handed to him!! I stand with Canada ?? Now this is how you have a press conference!!

My gosh, what else is new. We had 4 years of trump and people wanted 4 more years of trump. At least wolf blitzed gets to go to work every day with one of the most beautiful lady ever to live. Lucky sob, wolf

What a shame it should come to this, Trump and his puppets will get there comeuppance

I don't get it why americans voted for trump. How can you even believe his words ?

Dumb move by Trump, how’s he trying to ally with Russia with minerals deal in Ukraine?Is he pissed Because Canada is allying with Europe to support Ukraine and he couldn’t get the Ukraine mineral deal signed?? What a loser!

.... 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 is abundantly clear trying to work with Trump gets you nowhere he sees movement towards his demands as weakness typical schoolyard bully behaviour and as we all got told when we were young you stand up to bullies. The US can no longer be trusted or seen as a reliable ally time for the rest of the world to move on without it

Get Trump out of office now!!

??????the tariffs were supposed to get our taxes to almost none existent and Trump hasn't gotten any of that done . It's Bull poop. Lower taxes or drop tarrifs Now

Everyone who voted for Trump is truly a nobrain and should never get kids.

As a Liberal and someone who votes Democrat, Canada I am so sorry. Please know that this is NOT what we voted for, and NOT what we want. Fully Half of Americans know that trump IS SO WRONG AND INCREDIBLY EVIL, we're just waiting for the other half of America to wake the ₣⨆¢₭ UP. But they are a ₷₸⨆₽|₫ lot and we don't know how long it will take. We are also waiting for the rest of LAZY Americans to get to the POLLS AND VOTE in the next election.

Stupidity kills more people than fentanyl. Can we get Trudeau to be our president. How to fire Trump?

He does not speak an honest word. The tone and cadence of speech is so scripted and acted, at least we get to see Trump how he really is, this is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Zero authenticity.

Good! This is what trumps gets! He wants to be a dictator and start threatening other countries to get what he wants! I’m glad countries are fighting back! Being an American is becoming embarrassing!

ER no - Trump is NOT smart - he's an idiot - that is wrecking the USA day by day , politically, economically and socially - people of the USA get rid of the FELON ...
