I'm very pleased with this.. Canada needs to straighten up.

THIS WON'T GO AWAY UNTIL DONALD TRUMP GOES AWAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER PLEASE THE RICH IN CANADA PLEASE HELP SPEND YOU CANT TAKE IT WITH YOU

dear Mr. Treudeau, i want u to know i did not pick pres. chump. i understand why you are doing what you are doing. please keep all your people safe. with love to all of from wisconsin

Please PM Trudeau, it's not the United States who wants to Trade War, It's Trump and his incompetency. Trump is not thinking about the wellbeing of the Americans......

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.

Please just turn of all the power supply to the states.

Lier, please. This is all happening because of your GOVERNMENT and yourself, of course . Wake ⏰️ up. All a distraction. Jail for all of you.

Please do not use any more government spending to float people by… we don’t have any more to spend Trudeau.\n\nFree up commerce and regulations for more Canadian businesses to start and prosper!

Please, all honorable leaders such as Trudeau, call out this absolute idiot, Trump! Who voted for this idiot?

Have you thought about the corruption from Ukraine? They are not an ally. I’m a veteran also. Served 14 years, not just 4 like most. Please understand that hundreds of billions of dollars and equipment have been sent over there. What more can they be given?

The 98 and 84% are sitting this out. Please do not hold their actions against us.

That’s funny cause your no one’s friend and your a dictator as well what the hell r you talking about , and these tariffs do t affect you millionaires . Please go away sooner than later .

Do America have psychiatric Doctors? May someone send it to the white house please?????? am afraid for America??

Please turn down the oil export to the states by 50% and also the electricity.

Trump has got to be in deep with Russia. This makes no sense except to please our adversaries.

Can I come to Canada? Please. I don’t want to live here with this guy and his minions. ?

Say, Canada....THIS is true leadership. Trudeau is not backing down even though he will step down later this month. He truly cares, please do not discard him.

Canadian here. \nEveryone please listen,this man is a liar about the “F” drug please look up Sam Cooper and his reporting on it. CCP is funding the Liberal party as well some of our provincial party’s as well. Don’t believe everything said on the television. Do your own research and start with Sam Cooper. Vancouver is a major hub where this stuff is shipped in produced then exported. This man has lied in the past he’s lying now and will lie in the future. He’s a W E F prodigy.

Please. Please. Don’t lump all Americans in with this appalling administration’s actions. This man and his sycophants are acting in their own best interests. Apparently, if our representatives disagree, they fear for their lives. Thank you for standing up to this bully.

im american--I stand with Canada. Im so sorry this is happening---Please know we love Canada and agree with your actions.

Trudeau is the epitome of a compassionate, transparent and STRONG leader. As an American, I can confirm that we have the exact opposite infesting the White House. Canada.....please proceed. Show America what the government here is REALLY about. Thank you!

Gas and groceries and everything cost the same gas is actually cheaper!!! A bunch of CNN Leftist propaganda!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! GOD BLESS TRUMP AND STANDING UP FOR US TRUE AMERICANS!!! ALL YOU CNN SUPPORTERS AND BOTS COMMENTING PLEASE MOVE TO CANADA:)

From America: we don’t want this either. Canada is our friend. Please keep standing up to Trump! ❤

Trudeau does not represent Canadians any longer. He resigned. We are being held hostage by the remnants of his party. Until we have an election, please ignore this fool.

Trump did,not the majority of the United States, trump is the worse president we have had in decades. please do not blame all the American people. We don't want this either. I am so sorry this happened to you and Canada.

Please clarify why JT decided to send more aid to the Ukraine just a week before Trump was to negotiate a peace deal with Zelenskyy ? I think Canadians need to wake up \nAnd see who really are the bad guys .Too bad we don’t have a strong leader like the US .Little too late to be playing tough guy after he killed our country dont you think ??

Good on Canada for standing up for their people. The news anchor seems offended that Canada is talking “harshly “ to poor o frump… o please! Enough with the treatment of kid gloves Americans will be deeply hurt by this buffoon starting a trade war with our allies… the frumpy supporters this is what you voted for so don’t want to hear crying…. You didn’t want to listen to the warnings given so now deal with it just like everyone else that knew better ….

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

I don't mind Trump tariffing EEU China Mexico but please leave Canada alone\nThey are the best neighbors we have ???? specially Sunday when we need maple syru

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.

Why this. Your government has chosen these tariffs” should be “YOU, the US people, have chosen these tariffs and destructive policies.” Are you going to let HIM and THEM do this to you the people? Please don’t run away from YOUR elected officials, they work for YOU!

Trump did the tarrifs, not America. Please know that most of us Americans don't want this.

Dear American readers, \n \nWe, the world, have long lauded your patriotic convictions in pursuit of a just democracy. \n \nJohn Wilkes Booth ✅ \nCharles J. Guiteau ✅ \nLeon Czolgosz ✅ \nLee Harvey Oswald ✅ \n \nSadly, we've noticed your recent decline. \n \nThomas Matthew Crooks ❎❎❎ \n \nNow that the Demolitia is going away, can someone please stand up for democracy ( and aim between the eyes? ). \n \nBetween the eyes, not the ear! \n \n*Free speech MAGGOTS, come cry to me about it.

I don’t care what side you are on! Please, some trump loyalist make it make sense.

I’m sorry that Trump is so unreasonable. Trump only cares about the income that will benefit the rich, himself and power. The tariffs will effects jobs and people. Trump is an embarrassment to most of the people here. Elon Musk help him win the election by paying people to vote for Trump which I think should be against the law. Trump is putting the USA in a very dangerous place. Most of us stand with Canada and Ukraine but no one can bring Trump to reason. I really think Trump is plain outride stupid. Please keep fighting for Canada.

Canada 51st state?Better say please and dont forget to ask KING CHARLES III of CANADA The King might say NOT FOR SALE to dementia patients CANADA NOT FOR SALE DID iJUST NOT SAY THAT dONNY In case you forgot CANADA NOT FOR SALE maybe just maybe for rubles not for american money Donny how about YOUR face on the one dollar George is getting too old,dang didnt mean to put ideas in your demented mind

Canada please make an alliance with Europe

America…you’re getting taxed on all sides - Canada, China, and Mexico. These retaliatory tariffs are very strategic as well to hit you where it hurts the most. Your farms and food supplies are also going to get hit by lack of workers. I’m so worried for you. Fight back! This man is trying to destroy your country. Follow the money - where it’s being taken from (jobs, Medicaid, etc) and where it’s going TO (tax cuts for most wealthy, contracts for billionaires). The SAVE Act is trying to make it very difficult for minorities and WOMEN to vote. They are trying to basically take over so they can’t be put out of power, only the wealthy get educated properly, the poor go to military service, and they may even start looking at invading other countries. Why create conflict with Canada? To start the narrative that we are evil…and that we must be “protected”. It’s all there, America!! Please wake up!!!

Someone please get Trump out of America forever!

Please remember millions of us did NOT VOTE for the Orange Dicktator! If I had the resources I would be relocating to Canada for good!!

Please congress do you JOB IMPEACH the crook in the white house along with his other crook that's stealing our money ? MUSK. When they finish with us we will not have a country any more.

I'm so sorry that our dictator is doing this. Please know that most Americans do not support this or him.

Canada please keep PM Trudeau in his position! He is brining it to Trump so perfectly, please don't break the chain!!

A Canadian business associate of mine refers to Justin Trudeau as a 'Useless waste of skin'. As an American, the idiom was new to me. I'd just call him a bag of crap. Canadians give him a 'flush' at your earliest opportunity, please!

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Most Educated and Informed Americans understand whats going on and dont blame Canada. Please bare with US while we go thru this turbulent time. Hopefully we will be reunited in REAL friendship again.

Mr.Prime Minister Trudeau can we get safe haven in Canada yet? Please?

Ok MAGA… anyone able to answer him? Can any of you ‘make it make sense’? The cover of non-existent Canadian fent crisis is off the table. It’s horseshit and you know it. So please, explain why we’re abandoning every ally from North America to Europe and aligning ourselves with dictators and oligarchs whose open goal is our destruction… Sincere question: Why? Why is any of this the right thing for the USA? From the awful economic impacts to our impending utter isolation in the world, why do you support this?

Please know the American people are not behind this

President Musk ,co president CHAOS are doing a great job ...NOT!!!! Please God Save America ??
