As a U.S. citizen, my full support to you Canada- but going forward please emphasize that the Trump administration is choosing to start this trade war -not America-millions of us do not support or want to be associated with that tyrant in the White House!

As much as I like the message, I just find this is a waste of time to rationalize or reasoning with the orange clown and his uneducated base, like the clown said himself that he loves his uneducated supporters. Just return the favour. That's it. You can't fix stupid. Canada just needs to find more reliable and trust worthy partners. As much as I hate to say, US government can't be trusted. \n\nHey donald, little petty man with small hands. Glad that your trump towers in Toronto and Vancouver failed. You now try to avenge but you are making dumb mistakes to let personal touchy feelings to interfere with country affairs.

Mr Trudeau what Trump is doing to Canada is part of his vengeance tour. You didn’t show him the respect he thinks he deserves ?! He doesn’t care who he hurts including the US who he claims to make great again.

Donald Trump has plan to invade Canada, Mexico and other countries in South America. If he will do it no Russia will support him that why he started make friend with Putin.

Sure this was necessary, but don't forget Trudeau has been putting tariffs on Canadians for a while with carbon tax and was planning to quadruple it. Trump might not be the hero for America, Trudeau is for sure the villain of Canada.

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

Trump makes Canada have the balls again.

F around and find owt. I stand w Canada ?!

MAGA MAGA MAGA !!!\nMake Canada Country Again !!!

Thank you Canada for standing up against our very sad excuse for a President. I know you are doing the right thing.

Canada!!!❤❤ The world is with you!! A true leader speaking!!

Support canada from Philippines??????

Trudeau you are a smart strong man. Canada needs u … don’t leave

Can I move to Canada

I wish we had an adult for a leader like Canada.

Can i immigrate please to Canada? I am American that supports Canada.

In Toronto, I went grocery shopping after work and there was certainly a sense of national pride & determination in everyone there. Lots of people clustering around certain products and helping others, scanning products with apps that identify supply chains. As I went to the cashier, I dutifully returned my OJ to the store fridge and picked up some apple cider instead. To me this is more than existential, this is personal.\n\nWe will not back down; Canada shall prevail ?

Dear Canada, most of us who have half a brain, are disgusted about not only tariffs but everything else that is being destroyed. Hopefully, this will pass with upcoming Administrations. We love Canada and it's people. thank you for your patience.

Good for you Prime Minister Trudeau and Canada

Soon as these countries don’t get the money they want from the US all of a sudden we’re enemies. The US has included grants into the budget for Canada for decades. They need to pay now

I am an American, and I support and stand by Canada. Do not back down. We can make the sacrifice for as long as it takes to right the wrongs.

Haven't heard from Prime Minister Trudeau addressing the trade imbalance between the U.S. and Canada. This is what is all about.

O CANADA??

CANADA ?? HAS A TRUE PATRIOT FOR A PRESIDENT!!!\nHE LOVES HIS COUNTRY & HIS PEOPLE!!!!❤\nHE'S A REAL MAN!!!!!\nUNLIKE, THE LOW LIFE, SCUMBAG USA\nHAS!!!!!\nTRAITOR TRUMP HAS ALWAYS BEEN \nPSYCHOTIC, DISGUSTING, DELUSIONAL & A LIER!!!!! PLAINLY, PUT- \nTRAITOR TRUMP IS TRULY THE MOST \nVILE EXCUSE, FOR A HUMAN BEING!!!!!!!! ?

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

Support Canada!

Hes not the primeminister anymore. Wtf canada?

Mr Trudeau - you are 100 % right .... I have been a citizen of the USA for my entire life of 67 years.... now I really wish that I was born in CANADA where people are compassionate and not in it ONLY for power and money. I am embarrassed to that I am a citizen of the USA (WELL... THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING !).

I stand with Canada

From ?????? supporting Canada!!!

I'm in Botswana & I stand with Canada. Trump is captured by Putin.

We can bring a truck full of stuff from Canada, BUT we can't TAKE ANYTHING TO CANADA FROM USA. (it should be totally free trade or none)

Let's just not trade nothing from Canada

idk there was so many things imported from Canada. but Canada Canada imports half of its goods from the U.S. over all the i think Canada will hurt more. no real winner at the end

Of course on CNN you guys back ukraine and Canada but are you willing to send your children to die for Ukraine I Doubt it

Canada is 347 0ut of 348, global container ports, Trudeau stymied growth, infrastructure, and Canadas future, he blames the USA, for his only push three issues, LBGt, carbon tax and Dei... Why no new industries built in Canada, we essentially only sell cars and oil to the USA at 20% discount. Try buying Canadian, but these are all foreign products, because Canadian bureaucracy and poor productivity, ie, unions and government employees all at home. EXAMPLE, after owning hunting rifles for sixty year, Trudeau minions, contacted my at least six time when I attempted to renew my firearms licence, even phoning my wife for a old man... Go figure, Trudeau only knows how to Hire voters... The problem is Trudeau, you voted for it so now you will pay!!!

What did Canada gain by following the U.S. in imposing a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs? Have you think the U.S. would impose tariffs on Canada as well?

Donald will break his own arm trying to twist Justin’s arm. Canada is no Ukraine. Trump has bitten more than he can chew. Good luck Americans. Your Administrations both the current and one in the past are your worst enemies. Both the Democracy’s and the Republicans have let you down. Wake up, the world does not revolve around you.

The last trade deal with Canada and Mexico was done by the Trump Administration1.0, If it's such a bad deal, BLAME TRUMPICILE!!

? Canada!

I'm Ukrainian-American, and my husband is retired from US Marine Corps. We stand with Canada ?? \nThanks to everyone who supports Ukraine ??

President Trump doesn't care. The US has been subsidizing Canada's electrical grid for over $250 million dollars a year. Canada will loose that. In addition, US automotive industries like stellantis are moving productions back to the US from Canada. Canada has been charging the US dairy products 250% in tariffs, US Bourbon and whiskey 180% for over 4 years. China has been charging Ford 200% tariff so much so that ford can no longer afford to sell their vehicles in China.....all these outrageously high tariffs were designed to protect their domestic products.... China was suposed to spend 4 billion dollars a year in US goods but they have been consistently spending only 1.9 billion each year . Trade deficit of over 2 billion dollars. What sane person would allow this to happen in a free market and call this fair trades????? I have no knowledge of this until recently.

Oh Canada????????????????????????????????????????

why is Justin even speaking? he has already resigned as the worst prime minister in our history! one last flush to get that turd to go down. election already. we are so done with you liberals destroying Canada . US tariffs =25%additional tax onto Canadians using US products =MORE TAXES to Canadians. tax me harder liberal so I can work more

My admiration to Mr Trudeau for his words. That's how an honorable man speaks. Canada will stay strong!

Go canada

Please adopt us Canada, we have abusive leadership.

So, everyone's favorite leader of Canada failed negotiations with Trump and decided to go public by putting pressure on the American people who are paying for the whole buffet. Since when did politics and diplomacy become such an ugly mess?

From California, standing with Canada

CNN is anti Trump, Wall Street Journal is anti Trump, Canadian PM is cozing up with Zelensky who fought with Trump the other day, Canada has been taking USA for a ride on tariffs for so long, which President is trying to correct for which American people have voted him overwhelmingly, today's pain will be tomorrow's gain!
