I'm a 71 yr old woman. I'm crying! To listen to a leader who is coherent and articulate is foreign as of late. I haven't slept a full night since he came into office. I'm ashamed of the people in the country that are disgusting brainwashed maganuts. My daughter in law & her family are from Montreal. We stand with Canada!! You should impose a 30% counter tariff! America is dying because of that orange nazi & his group of nazi clowns. God bless Canada, Ukraine, Israel & may He save America!!?

Mexico and Canada stand up to Trump !!!\nDon’t give in !!!!!\nCanada turn of the lights !!!!\nPlease !!!!!\nWe stand up with you Canada And Mexico!!!’. \nTurn of the lights!!!!’.

As an American I pray that Canada/PM Trudeau knows that there is a massive % of us who understand that Canada has to stand on business & we hold no ill will for him protecting his country. PM Trudeau there is a massive % of Americans who despise trump & pray for his downfall (& those who follow him!) We as SANE AMERICANS know that this IDIOT who is president has begun/will continue to destroy our country(until he is stopped!) WE hold no grudges against countries who must fight back to protect themselves….WE envy you PM Trudeau & likewise countries who fight back because we are CLEARLY AWARE WE’VE BEEN CURSED WITH A MENTALLY ILL PRESIDENT WHO WON’T FIGHT FOR ALL PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY!

Well done Mr. Trudeau. Chapeau! A true European (German living in Switzerland) stands with Canada. Hey Canada, you`re happily invited to join the EU, where neighbors have to stand together.

Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine. Trump stands with Putin.

As an American, I am so sorry Canada for this mess. Please know a majority of us are suffering and never wanted this nor voted for it. I love you Canada and stand with you.

Canada shouldve been stopping immigrants and deadly drugs a long time ago. Now you want to respond! We lost too many Americans due to thay deadly drug. Hudreds of thousands of americans, including my brother. So to hell wtih Canada and there tarrifs. We dont need there products. Americans, stand stong and weather the storm. Canada will bow down. USA WILL NEVER BOW DOWN!

Autarky and Autocracy, Dicktatoes and Dickhead Economics, hand in hand.\nI urge Canada to seek maximum assistance from all those who LOVE Canada, Canadians, Canadian Products that have so benefitted this world of ours.\nAutarky never works - IT CANNOT STAND FOR LONG.\n\n1. North Korea (Juche Policy)\nNorth Korea's commitment to Juche (self-reliance) has led to severe economic stagnation and recurring famines, most notably in the 1990s, when an estimated 600,000–3 million people died due to food shortages.\nThe lack of trade and foreign investment has stifled technological progress and industrial growth.\nNorth Korea is now heavily dependent on China for food, fuel, and economic support despite its official autarkic stance.\n2. Albania under Enver Hoxha (1944–1992)\nHoxha's regime pursued extreme isolationism, severing ties with both the Soviet Union and China.\nThe economy collapsed due to lack of trade, modern technology, and external investment.\nBy the late 1980s, Albania was one of the poorest and most backward countries in Europe, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic goods.\n3. Spain under Franco (1940s–1950s)\nFrancisco Franco initially pursued autarquía after the Spanish Civil War, aiming to make Spain self-sufficient.\nThe policy resulted in economic stagnation, black markets, food shortages, and a declining standard of living.\nBy the 1950s, Franco was forced to abandon autarky in favor of liberalization and foreign investment, which led to the later Spanish Miracle of rapid economic growth.\n4. Argentina under Juan Perón (1946–1955)\nPerón aimed for economic independence through import substitution and state control of industries.\nInitially, Argentina benefited from post-war trade surpluses, but as reserves dwindled and industry struggled without external competition, inflation and inefficiencies mounted.\nThe economy ultimately deteriorated, forcing a shift back to trade and foreign investment.\n5. Maoist China (1950s–1970s)\nMao Zedong’s push for self-sufficiency, particularly during the Great Leap Forward, led to disastrous economic consequences.\nAgricultural mismanagement and isolationist policies contributed to the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), causing an estimated 15–45 million deaths.\nChina only saw major economic improvement after opening up to global trade under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 1970s.

BRAVO PM Trudeau!!!!!! this is fantastic that you are standing up against the inhinged criminal FELON and TYRANT!!\nDo not ever cave in to this idiot BULLY or Canada will forever regret it, trump cant be reasoned with, talked to , persueded or anything else.\nConsider CUTTING the electric power to the 3 US States, and the OIL exported to the US as well- hit HARD and don't give in! The rest of the world is BEHIND you and support you!

Well done PM TREADAU . Europe has to back up Canada fully. we need to put this nasty sick russian TRUMPET in its place!! Who wud thought one day the UNITED STATES that we all love stands next to communist and dictatorships !!? love from Manchester

Im from Ukraine, and im stand with you CANADA. Thank you for your position

Mexico and Canada stand up to Trump !!!\nDon’t give in !!!!!\nCanada turn of the lights !!!!\nPlease !!!!!\nWe stand up to you Canada and Mexico!!!!’

What a strong, fact based response. Never been more proud of Trudeau. Trump has chosen to start a trade war that is going to hurt Americans the most. Let's join hands to support local businesses by buying local when possible, even when it hurts the pocket. Standing strong with Canada ?? . We will come out strong ???

Stand with Canada ??

Embarrassed American here, stand with Canada and Ukraine ?? ??

WE LOVE YOU & SUPPORT YOU CANADA...WE STAND WITH YOU??♥️????

I'm an American that stands with Canada.

The American people stand with Canada. Tuck Frump. Do what you need to do Canada. We the people are with you.

I am African American I stand with Canada????❤❤❤

Mexico is standing with Canada, we will not let our countries be bullied by the USA. If you want to stop the drugs start by teaching your kids how to be happy without them.

Europe stands with Canada against the US and Russia!!!

Thank you Canada, as an American I am praying other countries will stand against trump. I would rather “hurt” because you are doing the right thing instead of hurting because of a evil administration

We stand with you Canada

I’m a CAN/US dual citizen, my feelings are pretty mixed… but this time, I’m standing with Canada. Big thanks to those American friends who are standing with Canadians.

Thank you Canada for standing up to this Bully President who has dropped all of the protection so Russia can just walk all over America and set itself up to allow Putin to do whatever he wants.

I speak as a Californian. I am so, so terribly sorry, Canada. I never voted for tRump, ever. I hate him in every way. This is all so heartbreaking. ?? Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, for standing up for your entire country. Our president is destroying America and handing us over to Russia. ? I stand with Canafa, Ukraine, Mexico and democracies of the world.

Oh Canada we stand on guard for thee ??????

As an American, I stand with Canada! Also, can I come live with you guys? i don't like it here anymore.

We apologize on behalf of the almost 50% voters who didn't vote for Agent Orange and the Nazi-saluting President Musk. We love Canada! Please get your centrifuges running because you won't need much enriched Uranium to scare off Daddy Putin and his lapdogs in the White House. You have the know how. The only way to stand up to bullies is to show them you are not frightened of them. God Bless You!

Supporting Canada from Australia. Trump's tyranny will not stand. Viva Canada!

Canada... you should hang onto this man as long as you can. He's a strong, stand-up man. Apologies for the IDIOT in the U.S.

From EU to Canada. Here we stand for our friends. We may not have enough guns right now, but we are the second biggest economy in the world. You are welcome to do business with us.

I stand for Canada, very haaard and skilled worker's

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

Canada, I am standing with you from NC. Your leader and government are responding in an appropriate manner. trump and vance have brought shame to the US. All the lives that our country has lost in wars were not sacrificed to come to this moment.

Even the Americans citizens stand for Canada

?We are one earth. You can't wall off yourself and ignore the rest of the world. We stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. Isolationist leaders like the orange ?are a minority and bankrupt. We will overcome!

So ashamed to be an American now! I stand with Canada!

Australia stands in support of Canada!
