The USA is officially the stupidest country on record. Donald Trump is dumber than d***hit. All his cabinet picks are crazier than he is and half are just criminals. Trump and Musk are criminals. Pam Bionde dropoed charges against Trump for a measly $5000.00 campaign donation. Little Marco Rubio only agrees with any stupid thing Leon Musk wants. I hope your men have mastered your new German tanks PM Trudeau. I am against any war Drumpf could think of. We need to go to Ukraine and talk to Putin tank to tank. Putin is a tiresome little man. Why do you think Trump fears him so much? Find the answer to that question. Thanks PM Trudeau. No thanks to any GOP pig in the USA.

The Republicans of America - no all of America is taking a brain vacation to Mars on a silly oligarchy rocket ship with a whiny little trust fund baby. See ya'll after we crash!

That's not all, the little Fenian wants to annexate you! Take care! Dust your old Washington Treaty of 1871 and have it handy!!

An intelligent and presidential speech…. This is the sort of attitude and vision we need from our world leaders. Gives one a little more faith in politics…\n\nShame on Trump and his administration..

Sniveling little weasel America stands strong America first

I did NOT vote for this, yet I will be one of the little guys who will suffer. I am beyond mad at that idiot in the WH!

damn sounds like the little brother is giving the big brother advice. Now, will he listen?

What a big difference between the speaches of DJT , Trump is trying to get Americans to believe that he is the savior of the USA. Justin Trueau is an intelligent and serious leader of Canada - compliment! \nHe stumbles along with a very limited vocabulary in his speeches, speeches in which any normal person can hear how little intelligence and substance there is behind these words. \nNow he is blackmailing the victim of the Russian war instead of the perpetrator, just as he is sacrificing everything the free world stands for for his confused fantasies. \nHe is now even demanding a third term in office, although in the first few days he has already brought more harm to the people than any president before him. \nThis is the direct path to a dictatorship in the Putin model.

Canada has no cards. Canada is simply a little follower of United States of America.

Once the prices go up, they will never go down for the little people. The rich are stealing our money. Thanks!

I was relieved to hear Trudeau put a division between US people (us) and US government (Trump and Vance). It's just beginning folks, it took idiots to put Trump in office and the idiot is going to bring this country down. You put him in office, believe it Trump a known liar is going to make you pay. I have cancer with little time left and happy to miss out.

it seems, that Donald is our next enemy. Well, he lives about 20 years may be. So, its just a little time for frustration

Isn’t this the guy that stole the people’s money over a little truck protest

Talk is cheap, Justin. Start off by applying to join the BRICS. After that, look into doing business in something other than the USD. Not all of your business. Just a little bit of it in order to send a warning signal. Then watch the US government soil its diapers. ?

I thought this little twerp had resigned? Oh no he is stepping down.. Well get on with it!

EXACTLY - Little donnie and t.j. are steering our country down a road of upside down, dangerously insane decisions... I hope Canada teaches don a lesson that this isn't how to treat your friends....

I am an American and I fully stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine....I do NOT support in any way whatsoever...Russia, The Orange Blob, The Couch Humper and that cowardly little weasel Mike Johnson!...and I definitely don't support Musk Rat!

Americans are so SCREWED. LIVE WITH LITTLE DONNIE AND SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.

Love to Canada from Washington State. We don't want this either. I have been crying inside ever since Garfield staged that coup On Jan 6th, 2010. Guess what. The American courts said Garfield doesn't get Presidential Immunity for his actions on Jan 6th because he WAS NOT PRESIDENT AT THE TIME OF HIS CRIMES. Little by little . . .

Pissed! Damnit Trump . Canada isnt a neighbor, they are FAMILY. Resign Trump and his little Russisnfriends.

Well he was being very polite but our so-called president is not a smart guy, although he thinks he's the smartest ever. \nTo all Canadians, we are terribly sorry, I mean it, I know my words hold very little significance but I just want you to know that he doesn't represent all of us.

This is all because of Canadians beady little eyes - U.S.A.

Mr Trump is targeting international democrats before he comes for local little ones

CNN fake news! It’s not that we’re anti Canadian, it’s that we’re tired of paying for them when we get little in return AND they don’t allow some sectors of American biz in their country!!wth!

Simply, dumbest little man in history. Trump has the biggest little man syndrome I’ve seen.

Mexican american here. I stand with u, canada and mexico. I will still buy Canada made and mexico made. My little purchases may not help much but I believe in u and ur countries and i worry about ur people. I apologize for the idiocy and hate here in America. Love from texas.

Trudeau is being kind. tRump is a stupid, self-centered, vengeful spoiled, immature brat, who wants to punish everyone and anyone who may do as little as disagree with him. He will never apologize or admit he is wrong, but he will be cruel and heartless. We need to shame him and Vance and impeach them and all the MAGAs who support them.

It makes sense that you don't want this as you have been ripping us off for many years. All we want is free trade. What we have gotten is lopsided trade. FAFO. The USA has a strong leader now. We have plenty of options to fulfill our needs. A little bit of extra cost is worth it to bring our industry and jobs back here and rebalance our trade agreements. Canada was running a fentenyl superlab which manufactured enough to kill off its entire population two-fold! We don't want that trafficked through our border into the USA. You may soon find out what happens when you try to strike someone who is much stronger. You may get it returned ten fold. We shall see. Goodbye dooshbag!

This fucker has done more to hurt our once great country then Trump tarriffs ever could. He a complete globalist and stooge for the WEF ansmd cares little for the Canadian people. This is faux patriotism plain and simple!!

What a joke you are PM Trudeau! Do you really think your puny little 25% tariffs on America is going to hurt us? We, Americans, shall see you come begging, on your knees, for forgiveness?. You chose your path. You still have a time to turn from path, but that will require you to admit your crimes against Canadians and American?. Which I believe you will not do?

Another devasted US citizen standing with Canada.? So sick of this traitorous madman and his nasty little lapdog, Vance, sitting in our highest offices.

No pain No gain ?\nGo America ?? the little pain will have great Gains.

As an American who opposes - STRONGLY opposes - the Trump administration and everything it stands for, I am sorry for what our country's government is doing to the rest of the world but especially to our oldest, closest allies. \n\nThe MAGA faithful will remain faithful even as the prices of virtually everything goes up and up and our economy tanks. They believe what comes out of Trump's mouth no matter what it is, no matter how obvious reality proves him wrong. Those of us who know what Trump really is have known what he's really about since the beginning. He's about himself and nothing more. His every move, his every word is about further enriching himself and patting himself on the back for his greatness.\n\nHis election to a 2nd term (and maybe more if he decides to ignore our Constitution) will be written about in the history books and it will not be favorable. This is what he wants, though. He wants to be thought of as an influential figure. Well, he is that. But so was a certain little Austrian monster who is remembered with great shame and disgust.

When you're turning your country into a socialist Shithole... deflect from your own disaster by attacking the country you've been relying upon to protect you for a century.\n\nPound sand, Little Castro.

According to Ritter Ukraine has already signed over rights to rare earth to UK. There was an article in a Czech newspaper talking about this leak. \nIs this why Starmer won't stop. \nWell some analyst believe UK is on the precipice of collapse. I agree.\nI believe the #1 priority of Trump is the US dollar and BRICS competition.\nUS plan to address $34 Trillion debt is to digitize the countries assets. Ex. Anwar, national parks, Infrastructure etc. This is the reason for the new land grab (aka resources grab) . The ones with the resources rule. China has known this for at least 20 years \nThink of the U.S. valuated as a investment ie. look at their balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. \nSimple valuation assets-liabilities=equity\nTaking this type of valuation $34 Trillion debt is peanuts.\nNow apply similar analysis to England.\nNo assets , little industry (aka income) or cash flow. \nI know many want a true multipolar world but I think it will be more spheres of influence dominated by China, US, Russia. The supper powers are positioning for the resources. The world has changed. \nI think the US Democrats will organize to harass Trump and his initiatives in an attempt to take back Congress in the midterms. Their only option. Going to get very nasty. (Harris poll from last weekend Trump favorability 58%)\nNow for Trump's tariffs . They are working already. Several tech companies have announced new factory plans for US. It all relates to Corporate Income taxes. It's about transfer pricing where they pay no Corporate income taxes in US.\nTransfer pricing For example:\nApple iPhone manufacture an iPhone in China for $300. They sell it to an Apple subsidiary call it Apple international located in a low tax or no tax domicile for $300. So No income tax. Say they sell it to Apple USA for $700 . No taxes owed by Apple international . Apple USA sells it in US for $700. Bought it for $700 = no taxes owed. BUT APPLE CLEARED $400 CASH. \nThat's with no tariffs. Now with 20% tariffs on China , the iPhone full import price $700 (sale price). is taxed(tariffs) x 20% = $140. Trump wants 20% corporate rate extended and ultimate 15% corporate rate. Most all the overseas US mfg might come home to moma. \nI would advise Trump to selectively wave tariffs on some items like lumber from Canada and food from mexico. As for oil from Canada I think Trump will let Chevron develop and buy heavy oil from Venezuela. If not might have to wave/reduce tariffs on Canadian diluted bitumen oil.

a little trade jab here and there is how we get to crux of what needs to happen

Its like Trump has decided to see just how much of the world he can piss off in as little time as possible.

Come on Leslie get with it. They're Russians in the oval office and Trump's best friends are Putin, Xi and little Rocket Man.

Why is this little girl not out of the office yet?

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

The American people are on Trumps side. You can send your kids to war little Mr. Trudeau. Of course your own kids would never go. We will survive without any damn thing you’ve got hide and watch!!

I know reality is so much more complicated than most people are capable to understand, but we need to stick together no matter what.\nThe 'elites' are constantly bored and they are playing their nas ty little games with the rest of the planet, like always it's the most disadvantaged and vulnerable who will suffer the most.\n\nRussia and China are destabilizing the 'West' with everything they got, they are using religious institutions, they are spreading misinformation online, they are financing corrupt politicians and even more corrupt institutions.\nThey will keep doing that until our systems start crumbling, first we will lose our democracy, follwed by basic human rights and the freedom to choose anything concerning your own life ... history is once again recycling itself and the reta rds among us will drag us down with them, we need to push back, no matter the price, we need to protect our values for future generations.

I am embarrassed to say I am an American right now! That Nazi orange guy and his side kick meme are ruining America! He needs to be impeached! I am so disgusted with what is going on right now and how all of his little minions are following right along behind him kissing the ring!!

Everything shows Trump and Elon are lying about everything they're doing. You elect a stupid criminal you get stupid crimes. Our Christians and corporations made this Republican criminality possible. Even some of the maga have a little spine left and are opposing Trump. Too little too late, though.

LOL ALL Fentanyl coming over the border is from the U.S. into Canada. It is just an excuse to try and get his military up here. It will not happen. We will meet them with UK troops, our troops and EU troops and others if we must so f him but Trump should really go have a little visit with King Charles.

The real reason is Trump is at war against liberal democracy, where ever he find it. Every thing à little bit leftish is a enemy. And yes, like Putin, every thing that could make some critic of is government is a enemy.

I don't consider that. . . Talking directly to Trump. Good luck you whimpy crazy little fruit. Ok shoot us with your tariffs. See who caves first. Whining on tv trying to change our minds. When we openly, willingly and happily voted to change the way THIS COUNTRY has been thru because of idiots like you, Biden ETC. change hurts in the beginning. . . But in the end. We will see who has a trade deficit with who. Good luck little fruit

I don’t care what this little man says president Trump know what his doing every thing will be ok

Wow, Putin must be gleefully rubbing his little slimy hands now. Divide and conquer.

Canadian here. There's a lot of people in Canada that don't like Trudeau for a lot of reasons, but with the recent events I think the majority of the country has come to tolorate him a little while longer until we get a new Prime Minister. Trumps actions have only united the Canadian people.
