If you live in the US it's time to move. If you're in Canada or Europe you need to boycott the holy living hell out if US imports, US compaines, and any company that does business in the US. Starve the US of money and plummet the economy. The only effective nonviolent resistance that works is to prevent the coporations from making a profit. \n\nAt least JT had the sense to separate the Smerican people from its current leadership. That's rare in history. \n\nI SUPPORT CANADA AND UKRAINE. FUCK TRUMP.

Your General said this is isolating Canada. No it isn't. The UK, Europe and Asia are very open to trade. Indeed many have existing deals which can only grow.\n\nI hear that there are a great many frustrated Americans. Americans who don't want this trade war. Unfortunately Your commander in chief is Your voice on the World stage. His choices are effectively Your choices. HE represents your country. It's him we have to deal with, or not, as the case may be.\n\nUntil you can wrestle the House, the Senate and ultimately the Oval, off these walking-disasters The US with edge closer and closer to being a Paraiah state.\n\nGood luck with that. You're going to need it. The World is already making alternative plans wrt defence, trade and political ideology. All without the US... think about that....

At this point, I have the feeling that the President of the United States has been infiltrated. He is acting exactly how a Russian spy would act. He is trying to destroy all good relations with his allies so that Russia can attack Europe with impunity.

Well Justin, after listening to you smug listing of all the measures you’ve taken to reduce fentanyl traffic as well as “other” traffic and implemented US requests for cleaning up border issues. I ask: “Had the US not made these requests, would you have done the neighbourly thing and cared enough for your neighbour to have monitored what criminals in your country were up to? It appears you had to be reminded of your duties inherent in the ‘office of being a good neighbour’.\nYou are STILL weak and the mouthpiece of ‘controlling interests’ in Europe who in the end will toss you out on the street like some sucked dry orange and forget your fawning presence ever existed. Man up and at least try to leave an honourable legacy for Canadians. The BOC will then be able to fulfil its mission of printing its own money without bringing Canada into the slave-pit of European Banksters.

Great speech. But won't work I'm afraid. You used a lot of words, so you lost Trump after the first sentence. And more important, you forgot to say, 'thank you USA'.\nI'm from Europe: we stand by Canada! You should build a big wall, to keep Trump and his corrupt groupies inside the usa. We will help pay for it, and I think Mexico will do too.

Australia is with Canada, Europe, and particularly with Ukraine.

Dear Canadians, now that the US is part of Russia, you need to come closer to us in Europe against dictators.

Hats off to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau! This is REAL leadership! All Europe should stand with Canada now! Greetings to Canadian people from Romania! You will get over this!

Canada and Mexico and come and join Europe

I stand with Canada Mexico UK and Europe. Please don’t hate all of us because of the idiots that are running and elected that idiot. I do not stand with Trump and Russia

Europe and EU are with you. Canadians are warmly welcome to join us! Greetings from Finland!

This also time to boycotte US $ as international currency. May be € to be replaced. \nMust remove all UN head offices to somewhere else. \nBoycotte , isolate , ostracized this lunatic psycopath gangster erratic leader of US.\n\nCanada , Europe, Mexico, Japan and S.Korea to built as soonest as possible Nuclear Reactor and bmbs. etc. \nBecause you cannot trust from this untrustworthy, mentally imbalanced leader from US.

Disgusting traitors! No 'ally' should come to US aid ever again. Canada, Mexico helpd with their fires. They turned on Europe ( thru Ukraine)& threaten Australia too.

I am italian (ex russian). And I stand with Ukraine, Canada and healthy part of Europe.

So Trudeau calls Putin a liar and a murderous dictator but we all remember a few years ago, the same PM declaring is admiration for China's dictatorship. On a trip in Europe he even downgraded is own people while trying to suck up to the Germans. A few years ago Trudeau said that Canadians didn't really have an identity and announced that he wished to make Canada the first post national country in history. I'm sorry guys, I do not like the tariffs but I just cannot stand this guy!

To all Canadians, Europe has your back. Stay strong. Greetings from Germany to all Canadians ♥ but also to all Americans who never wanted Trump.

I like trump and what he stands for but since he took office he's been a real scumbag to all the allies. As a brit we should help Canada as much as possible, America Is not America and ut won't be for many many years, after trump it will be Vance as president then another bully after that. Europe needs to stand up all over the place fxxk America and Russia, conventionally Russia wouldn't stand a chance against the EU its time we stood up.

I think that the USA will soon find itself all alone in the world. Canada, Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. are just seeing that you can't rely on the usa.\nThese countries will reorient themselves. China will be happy.

I can only hope that Europe and the UK will not wait, but choose for a preemptive tariff. This way in total $1.5 trillion of US business will be hit, in a combined strike of China, Mexico, Canada and the EU. This Bullshit of Trump has to stop.

That’s the question “WHAT IS THIS REALLY ABOUT” there is something very wrong going on here! This current ?leading our country straight into hell has reasons far beyond fent! Like Prime Minister Trudeau said “that’s his excuse” esp. with Canada as we have known & for anyone who hasn’t known,they do now. Canada is not our biggest concern of Fent getting into our country! Trump wants to look like a hero to his sheep but he is only a puppet being played by Putin!What is it that Putin has that either is on Trump or what Trump wants! Keywords “what Trump wants” bc none of us want this! He is weakening our country almost daily & getting closer to Russia?! Russians don’t even trust Putin,let alone any Americans, esp leaders! Putin would destroy his own for power & yet Trump thinks he’s some “good trustworthy guy” we are headed into a very very dark time! The faster we get him out the faster we can repair the damage done! Idk how anyone supports this ?any longer\nAs an American I stand with Canada ?? Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Europe! Ppl get ur passports ready! I’m ready to leave & come back in 4yrs!

It is so clear that the great nation of Canada beats with a logic based on free enterprise, mutual benefit and at its heart welfare of its citizens, The U,S, like all great empires is dying, come join us in Europe, together we are the real vangaurds of a free world, some fantastic world beating business's, and the biggest market in the world. A bridge is waiting, come walk it.

There is only 1 problem of this what happened right now.. This evil trum done.. To Ukraine Canada and Europe and US... Trump is poppet of devil putin ????

Love Canada from Europe

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

Europe is next on the chopping block ??, you’ve screwed USA for far too long!!!

Say Canada would you like to trade some with europe?

Greetings from Europe. We admire your approach. Keep up a good work.

Well, Trump threatened Canada, what a piece of shit president, I must say... At this point, Canada should join EU, and sell all their gas and oil to Europe, at a fair price, not ultra cheap how they are currently selling to the USA. Usa is making a tons of money profit from exploiting Canada...

The real reason for the tariffs is because it has never been fair for the United States we pay more taxes for products in Canada in Mexico in Europe and it's always been like that and it's sad that it has to come to this in order for everybody to pay their fair share. That's the real reason. it'sad that countries are mad because they can't continue to rip off the United States. if there's fair trades there are no tariffs period

It's just Trump. One dumb man who, for some dumb reason, speaks and represents a lot of people under the name of the country they live in. Maybe someone will figure out that someone can only make so many bad decisions before they remove that person from making more bad decisions. We have the village idiot in charge of things. Most[people in America like you and other leaders more than the person who is pretending to lead here. He's the fool of fools. You don't have to call him a smart guy just to make him feel good, he just does dumb things all the time. Either way, it's a fun show, I only hope the missiles start to fly and we all destroy ourselves. \n \nHenry Limpet: Doesn't it kind of give you a thrill of hope, George? \nGeorge Stickel: Hope for what, Henry? \nHenry Limpet: With the war in Europe and new weapons being invented all the time, why, well what if men were actually foolish enough to destroy themselves completely? Then, you see, the fish in the ocean would develop into a new race of men and - well, this time they might turn out better, you see? \n \nOne can only hope.

3rd generation American here, I too stand with Canada, the UK, Mexico and Europe, not with Russia, China or the communist worshiping president that I did NOT vote for. This is what happens when people are too chicken to vote for a female President who's already been Vice President and has more integrity in the tip of her pinky than trump & musk have combined. trump and his cabinet should be removed for treasonous acts, tried , and jailed. They've weakened the security of our country.

A very well thought out and eloquent rebuke there, nicely done. To our Canadian cousin's, i too went to the store yesterday and refused to buy American products, i shan't until this idiocy finishes. Perhaps Canada should assign itself with Europe. \nRegards\nA UK resident.

Canada and Europe should work together

Well Trudy, no one likes you in Canada, don't forget what Ukraine is doing with the money and ammunitions from countries, keeping the money and selling weapons 20 cents on the dollar to Hamas and other enemies. Don't try and be self righteous. Ukraine is the most corrupt European country in Europe way before this war, that's why the President won't leave and wants it to continue

Fuck Donald Trump for betraying Ukraine Canada and Europe to appease war criminal Putin .

If I was Canadian I’d think twice before voting away this guy. The grass isn’t always greener elsewhere. Europe is happy to trade with you and prosper together.

Canada should work with Europe, sell Oil and minerals , cut power to USA

We stand with Canada, UK, Mexico and Europe! Not russia

God help us. I have never seen anything so terrible in my 76 years from any US President. I stand with Canada, UK, Ukraine, and Europe and all our NATO allies that we used to have as friends.

Putin achieved what he wanted,to divide the EEUU from Europe and Canada not to mention Mexico. And terminate OTAN…

Europe is with you Canada ❤ eff the cheeto, join the EU ?? ???

What times we live in :D America becoming ally with Russia which leader putin is nothing else like Stalin or other soviet leaders. And America is becoming enemy not only with Europe but also with closest ally Canada :D What the hell is going on? China celebrating now. USA had veroius presidents good ones, bad ones, smart ones and dumb ones, but this one is no doubt the worst and dumbest one ever.

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

Canada join with us in europe we like you ?? ??

The US undermining Canada, Europe, and the rest of western allies only benefits the Kremlin.\n\nPutin must be delighted his master plan to weaken democracies and NATO is actually working.

I agree with you about everything what you said, PM Trudeau.\nGreetings from Croatia, Europe????..

Greetings to Canada and the Canadian people. With this decision, you are exporting inflation and high prices to America, and the American citizen will feel it later, and then Trump will come to negotiate with Canada. Imagine if Europe applied the same principle. I almost swear that Trump will become a beggar in the political street for Canadians and Europeans.?

Canada, please know that Americans do not want a trade war with our friends and cousins in Canada, Mexico or Europe. This is trump’s trade war, not the American people’s. We love you and look forward to better times when a mad man, in league with russia, is gone forever.

Wish TRUDEAU was head of state in Denmark, THAT GUY HAVE BALLS !!!!!!! Europe and THE FREE WORLD STAND WITH CANADA:

Good for Canada. Don't back down from these weak wanna be dictators. Europe follow their example, Americans can't even help ourselves right now.
