Well done Canada! I’m with you!

Stupid leader …,we don’t need Canada. Canada needs us !!! Remember it !

Ohio has SO many Canadian products and gas stations. It's going to get VERY hard, very quickly. Hang in there Canada. The majority of America stands with you❤

as a Canada born...please piss off Trumpy to the extreme so he WILL invade Canada. Thank You Gov Turdeau .??????????

This guy is so weak. Don't he know that we Americans don't need Canada to survive. We are Americans not Canadians we vote for Trump not this dude. He should only address the Citizens of Canada. Americans are listening to his propaganda, some old jargon, business as usual conversation. America first!

I will still buy Canadian products. If I can pay more for eggs, I can buy the wonderful produce and other products from Canada. This really is a dumb thing Trump has done. I hope something happens to undo what has happened.

As a American I find the actions of Vladimir Trump absolutely disgusting! I didn't vote for that scumbag! I live right across the st Lawrence river from Canada and I love that country as well!!!

I am totally with CANADA ... greetings from UK ?shame on president Trump

Canada will never back down to the U.S. this evil empire is on the way down

Canada is VERY welcome to trade with Europe.

Mmm, how come he didn't mention the tariffs on Canadian goods sold in America that Canada has been charging Americans for a long time? What's good for the goose is not good for the gander!

Trump should maybe rethink things with Canada...

The US seems hell bent on destroying itself. So many people are going to lose their jobs as the US economy goes into freefall. If Trump imposes higher tariffs on Europe too, we'll respond in exactly the same way as Canada.

I’m with you Canada. I’m an American, but I do not agree with our present leadership. They are absolutely horrible.\n\nWay to stand strong Canada \n????

Bravo Canada and I’m sorry our so called President and his minions are so very ignorant.

Trump picking a fight with both his neighbors while his own house is burning down. No matter what Trump does Canada will stand strong and we will fight for our country. ?????????

You want to stop the fentanyl flow? Stop its addiction in the United States. I’m from Washington State and am fully behind Canada and love my brothers and sisters to the north.

Pull all funding from Canada

Did he really say Trump is a smart man? ???? they do have some funny f'n people in that country. Lots of great comedy minds come from Canada!

could you imagine what the men of your country will become when the leadership of your country is as soft as this man. No thanks Canada. This guy has sabotaged your country

Fentanyl has being coming into the US through Canada and the Mexican border. Young Americans are paying the price by becoming addicted and dying. Why don't you talk about that Mr. Prime minister ???

Trudeau is a despicable little shit. He has destroyed Canada

So people in the administration says that if Canada actually decreases the amount of Fentanyl coming across the border things may change? Last year 19 kg were seized at the Canadian border, if they decrease that to 15, will that be enough? It’s such massive bullshit an nothing about it makes sense. The only way to make sense of Trump’s “diplomacy” is if he’s being paid directly by Russia and China.

This is about more than the fentanyl. This is about Canada not pulling their own weight when it comes to defensive spending, this is about getting them to allow Us manufacturered cars into their markets, this is about convincing Canadian companies to build factories in the US… etc Trumps tariffs are creating hundreds of billions, soon to be trillions of dollars worth of investments into our market. We hold the largest market in the world. We hold the power here, not Canada. And bitching about relations with our allies isn’t going to sway conservative voters come the next election. When we win this “trade war” something tells me CNN will whine about how we won it instead of giving credit to the current administration for doing better by our citizens.

I live in Maine on the border with Canada and im absolutely ashamed at what trump is doing. Canada is an incredible country and a great ally to the US, and this entire thing that trump is doing is reprehensible. It would be an improvement to have a leader like Trudeau who can actually get a point across.

Canada sucks?

What trump is doing is sheer hurtful lunacy. He’s just bullying. Why? Some republican sanewasher said on CNN Taiwan was building a chip factory in America because of tariffs. That’s bs. It will take YEARS for industries to move to America because of tariffs. And there’s just no need. Wonder if trumps new hairdo is hiding horns because he is doing evil, hurtful stuff and helping nobody but the rich. LOVE YA CANADA!!

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Bully Trump wants to annex Canada. I stand with Canada and Mexico.

if a country with a net deficit puts 25% tariffs on the net credit trader, and the net credit puts on 25%, the net deficit profits substantially overall, they collect more tariffs, consumers just buy local, so more national business growth etc. i.e. canada is screwed, the us does well out of this. if the us put on 100% tariffs on canada, that country would go bankrupt, and the us would be fine.

From a WA State neighbor, I stand with Canada. Continue strong. You don’t deserve this. ??????

hmmmm.. that trump is wanting 50% of Ukrainian minerals, wants Greenland, wants Canada to be the 51st state.. it’s all mineral greed .. panama a nice real trade route.. scattergun approach to land grabbing .. vile and not smart at all

Great speech by Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada to the Canadian and American people.

AMERICAN PEOPLE LOVE CANADA. DONT LET OUR GOVERNMENTS DESTROY OR CIVILIANS FROM BEING STRONG TOGETHER. ?????? (NORTH AMERICA STAND TOGETHER) ???????

Donald Trump couldn't speak that eloquently in his dreams. Way to go Canada!

It's great that the fentanyl problem is being attacked at the border. What about Canada inside the borders? Why did it take Trump to impose tariffs for Canada to respond to the drug problem? And what about dealing with China? Most of the chemical compounds have been brought in from there...thousands of kids have died and Canada has not addressed China's conspiracy with this. Congrats to Trump for his tough line on this!!

Canada is going to be America Soon. Good Luck . You have destroyed your people long enough. Daddy needs to fix your decades of mistakes.

Thank you Mr T and Canada!

American here in the PNW standing with Canada! I wish our current administration was as well-spoken as Trudeau! Instead we get the orange criminal and his chainsaw wielding minion. ?

I am so sorry Canada, truly. I'm embarrassed that our president would do this. It's shameful. Please know that even though the majority of votes put Trump into office, it wasn't a landslide. Something like 40% of us did NOT vote him in. Therefore, there are many, many Americans who did not want him, do not want his politics and are seriously sorry for his actions.

Loser US doesn't need Canada anywhere near as much as Canada needs the US for their economy.

Damn, I wish I could move to Canada

Wouldn't be suprised if the plan of Trump is to put maximum pressure and weaken Canada to annex them later on. Woudln't be suprised if Trump made a deal with Putin to trade Canada against Ukraine (or eastern europe).

Tarrifs should be removed from Canada but it definitely needs to stay with Mexico. Mexico is the problem.

Sir, you spoke like a gentleman, Portugal is on the side of Canada ❤

This American says: WHOOO GO CANADA!

This is all just a pretense for Trump (Not the US) to invade Canada, with the blessing of China and Russia. Make no mistake, this is an axis of evil trying to establish a new world order. This is just the beginning of the coming storm. Good luck to the free world; we’re going to need it.

Slava Canada

F Trumpf. Go Canada ??

This breakup with Canada will be used to justify getting much needed minerals and such from... yes you guessed right, Russia and Ukraine, as soon as we abandon them to the butcher. Their intentions and motives are incredibly transparent and yet, the streets are not filled with protests, yet. Disband both political parties and start with new push forward with the great experiment of a melting pot society based on democracy where education is the primary moving force.

I want to move to Canada !
