These are things our government is doing in full sight in order to distract all attention to the chaos ensuing, so that the WH can pursue even more nefarious projects behind closed doors. Poisoning democracy in an attempt to bring us to our knees before oligarchs and fascists. Trump has made it clear he seeks to be a dictator. Please research how fascism develops. Please people, don’t swallow propaganda initiated by the putin regime.

Yes your border is closed because Trump told you to. And what were you doing before Trump was in?

A blistering speech denouncing a dictatorial leader—a wannabe Napoleon. I am So….scared. All you had to do was to close the border. \n\nBye Bye Felicia

Thank God Ireland is within the EU and not isolated to be abused by Trump. Canada should align more closely to the EU. I think there's a lot of cultural similarities.

Justin Castro Trudeau is a lying, murderous dictator. He was closing ppl bank accounts for protesting against him! Are you blind or have memory loss?

This clown hasn't done anything close to Trump in his life ..nothen

I can understand the tariffs on China as they are close to being more powerful than the USA… but why a trade war with Canada?? ?

I am afraid we are very close to having Chinese and Russian troops parachuting ? in like the movie, “Red dawn “.

Americans didn’t vote for trump because he is a good person. Americans voted for trump because he is a bad person. I have close friendships with many trump supporters and they all embrace war for this country. They all support Donald in his greed and obsessive behavior. Americans are generally bad people. Canadians need not have pity on us. We brought this on ourselves

I KNOW Canada was expecting this because frump first attacked frump's own nation...and the areas close to the Capitol. As he plays golf. I don't think he cares....when one gets older, they stop tryna negotiate and just start being who they truly are...in this case, a NARCISSIST LYING FELON who doesn't realize that when one goes to HeIl, stop, drop & roll doesn't work cuz you didn't know Jesus.

As an American I stand in solidarity with Canada, this is not how you treat allies let alone close neighbors. There are no winners in trade wars, sadly a fact that seems to escape Trump.

feel sorry for your farmers hope they got what they wanted when they lose there farmes and all the stores that will close 25 billion dollars on vacations GONE buy american products gone day trips gone order on line from usa gone investing gone get the point america

And although we are close you can beat us at hockey; for now but in 1980 we beat Russia and in 2026 we will beat Canada. \n\nAll that being said I love Canada and don’t support what one person is doing to damage that.

Hopefully, the US quits giving Canada 200 billion a year in aid . This clown is trying to have Trump raise Canadians tariffs even more. Maybe close the Border .

I'm Canadian and this idiot is NOT my Prime Minister, the door is already closing on him and he should NOT be speaking for my country!!

We're getting so close to Jehovah's kingdom!!! As bad as it is and will get a lot worse because we are still under the god of this wicked system is Satan the devil. Jehovah has allowed men 6 thousand years fo try and rule over themselves. Everyone can see what a disaster it's been. God's kingdom with Jesus Christ as our king will rule with love and provide real peace and security !!!!

And although we are close you can beat us at hockey; for now but in 1980 we beat Russia and in 2026 we will beat Canada. \n\nAll that being said I love Canada and don’t support what one person is doing to damage that.

Legend. Although not saying exactly what he thinks of his friend Donald, not even close. History will

A trade deficit occurs when you sell trinkets that no one wants or trinkets of poor quality. Next steps. Restrict people who come from no vax/raw milk regions from entering Canada; Hold military exercises in Canada with EU, Mexico, Columbia, Brazil; Close the Detroit border crossing for 3 days (thousands of amurucans work in Ontario), Restrict electricity exports to NY and MN; Restrict Canadian air space; Alaska no fly zone; Increase landing fees at YYZ and YVR. . Remember 1814 and Lundy`s Lane.

After leaching of US for so many decades they unite to tackle 25% tariff which is close to standard across rest of the world. Got to say canadian politician has mastered the art of LEACHING OFF US.

close the border until the US come to it's senses.

Canadians are frustrated and are choosing to stop buying U.S. products, but Trudeau escalating tensions into a trade war with a partner is just escalating the issue. Plus Canada cannot win this battle. \n\nLeadership change - Trudeau needs to go. Every time Trudeau opens and closes the door he creates a mess. \n\n(Note: open discussions on current events is essential, its too bad the Canadian shut down our rights to speak on media platforms)

Well, he spoke directly to the American People, but your title was close enough, CNN.

Bye bye merican power and gas......gonna suck to see canada close the water taps on niagra falls

This is the kind of President we need, but definitely don't have one close like this. TRUMP IS AN EVIL BOZO. The fact that we elected him speaks volumes of the dumbing down of America. His followers are idiots. They will suffer from him very soon. His policies are sooooo anti-family, anti-middle class. You Trump voters have brought the devil upon us all.

Of course Trudeau is going to lie about what Trump is doing. Trump knows Canada has been a close ally since Canada and U.S. were countries but when Canada and Mexico are taking advantage of the U.S. economically speaking and called out by President Trump, they don't know what to do. Can Mexico and Canada make it without U.S. as a trading partner? Can U.S. oil producers make enough energy for all the needs of U.S. citizens and their companies? Can U.S. farmers provide enough eggs, milk, chicken, beef, grains, etc. without Canada or Mexico?

Trump is not only being played by PUTIN but by those who are close associates around him

I just stopped playing with friends when they turned into dicks. Now as an Adult I want the border shut to anyone with a US passport. I want it shut to anything coming or going to America. Close the border. \nI'm cool with struggling so the Americans can be independent....

You may not want it, but it is necessary to wake you up. Get other trade partners, DO NOT DEPEND ON THE US. Canada needs to close its borders to illegals , curb the asylum and refugees. Strengthen your Armed Forces.. Get out of the FIVE EYES. Concentrate on the infrastructure, housing, food safety. And do not refer to US as a friend. Cannot be any worse than it is. If only you did not go down to Mara La Go. Matter of days before you leave Trudeau. Think what havoc you created.

The producers of The Apprentice said they regret having made Trump look like a successful businessman when he was nothing even remotely close. Trump is the epitome of DEI (Didn't Earn It)

Some of us don’t want this either! I did not vote for these goons. :/\n\nYou’ve done everything you can, but there is no pleasing this administration. Some of us really appreciate your efforts! And hope to keep Canada as a close ally. But this goon that is calling the shots only cares about one person, that is himself. \n“It’s a real threat to US security.” Amen!!

Close the borders.

We cannot trust or believe in what Trump Admin says to us Americans. Please people this is not good for us to be moving this direction. We don't have time on our side here to wait while half of our country blindly follows Trump off the cliff as he plays his tune and yall skip to the music with eyes n ears closed to anything else. I don't want to go down with all of you!

Hopefully americans understand that europe is watching this closely. And we are on Canada's side. \nWe will boycott american products completely, your economy will die fast.

Well I heard this before during covid and not all businesses got their money from the government as promised and were forced to close permanently.

I love this…the Democrat Party supports war after decades of crying for peace. Wasn’t Bill Clinton the one who went to Russia when it was still really closed up?

Trudeau close our boarder,that was asked of you.

I hope that Canada and the EU is going to work closely together in the future. You cannot trust the USA with such people in charge! Even CHINA is more reliable right now, let THAT sink in!

Interdiction is a nobel cause, but cannot work. History shows this to be true.\nIf the market is there, it will be supplied until those that desire it are either gone or no longer buy it.\nI support Canada over my own U.S. because thats what i believe is right.\nPull the band aid off fast, close the border, all import/exports shut off.

Side of hand, Americans better watch close because this is a robbery in broad daylight.

Trump isn’t even close to being smart. He’s a Russian puppet

Donnie Wadd Trump is always talking about the open borders so why doesn't Canada do him a favour and permanently close the Alaska Highway?

Trudont is a strait nazi.\nHe literally closed Canadians bank accounts due to choice and religion. \n\nTrudont is acting like he didn't know about teriffs....Trump announced them last week.\n\nAs an American tax payers! Id rather do without than to be threatened by a nazi.\n? to Trudont...

Look closely, America.....a leader who can speak full sentences ? ??❤️??

That’s not enough! Canada needs to close the border! So does Mexico!

It's a common mantra for Canadian citizens and politicians to 'tax the rich' by closing loopholes and more recently reducing capital gains exemptions within corporations. As popular as that may be, it stifles innovation and corporate development within our country, especially while our neighbor to the south has a more business friendly tax system. Good luck boosting GDP when corporations and innovative entrepreneurs are lured southward. Even our hockey players move south.

@EconomicsExplained How about a new video about Finland? The economy is entering depression, with unemployment close to 10% here

In the past decade in India, hundreds of arts and engineering colleges were closed due to shortage of students. Couple of universities were closed. Programs were reduced. These colleges lost crorers of investment due to non-available students. Instead of blaming our students, why to blame Canada.

In Tamil Nadu alone, 650 engineering colleges.\nColleges (one by one) closing doors due to lack of new admission.\nSome engineering graduates maintaining mobile tea shops, some as construction helpers and some serving as engineers in arabian countries.\nAren't bjp rss country is world's third largest economy?

For real Canada dumped them hear . Close the border
