Trump wont back down, canada has been screwing us for awhile, its our turn. However i do feel for the canadian people.

Says the guy that destroyed Canada

if it is in canadas case. how about china. its the same story. tariff will hurt usa

We used to say, we love Canada almost as much as we love our USA. It has become a backwards statement.

I made it a point to buy Canadian Whiskey today in support of Canada and will continue to do so.

As a American.. I don't care about Canada.. they are going down first when the tarrifs start emptying their socialist economy. Bye bye maple syrup!!?? Wahhh!

As an American I am appalled by the actions of my government. I stand with you Canada, our great friend and ally. I did not vote for and do not stan with the fascist authoritarian clown running our country into the ground.

I have an idea-instead of Canada becoming the 51st state ( which is such a repulsive idea) Can the US become a province instead? \nWe need a leader like Justin Trudeau! ??

50% of the United States population thinks these tariffs are paid by Canada. WRONG! The American population pays this. Fact.

All those asked to be Americans and supporting Ukraine in endless war, why don't you all move to Canada or go fight for Ukraine. If you're not ready, just shut up with your bs, because all you do is talk and take no action.

FUCK YOU… pay the tariff… I like how they call tariffs a TRADE WAR… we don’t need Canada California has more ppl than Canada!

Damn, Canadians hate this guy but he's basically the political Kanye. He can get as much hate as he wants but he's still the best celebrity out there in his own mind.\n\nJust saying... if I'm Canada, im not going to try to rally support of the American people by falsely threatening that we will suffer at Canada's hand because of retaliatory tariffs. Thats just silly...\n\nThis man should talk about building his own economy instead of complaining that his benefactor is asking for aome money back.

Donald Trump has a dream of going to war with Canada and Mexico to eventually take over their territory…typical NAZI 1939 mentality????

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Trudeau is a raging idiot. Canada wouldn’t be in this position if he was doing his job and followed his obligations. He’s talking tough, looking like he cares for Canada after he has ruined our once great country try for the last 9 years.

Yup. The USA needs goods from Canada more than Canada needs goods from the USA .This will cripple Red States ?

Canada has been taking advantage of our hospitality for a long time Elon musk saved us more in the last month then we will lose from them good riddance Trudeau

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.

Canada england should go to europe union

I wish I lived in Canada. Thank God you have a strong leader.

First economic war then a military invasion. I believe the Americans are setting the stag for a ground invasion of Canada using the escalating trade war as a pretext for a real war. I think everyone needs to consider the possibility that Trump may in fact be an agent of Russia with a single mission to bring down the USA and her allies.

From crazy maker Florida.....how lovely to have Trudeau representing your country. I couldn't keep back the tears of pride for you, Canada.

Well said. I support Canada and I will join Canada...

100% with Canada ??, from Poland ??, EU ??.

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

I can't bealive how dumb US liberals are, US literally has one of the highest reserve of oil and natural gas, US used to sell oil to Japan, India and many other countries when trump was last time in office but Biden distroyed that by banning the drill. 70% of import from canda to US is oil and natural gas which they don't need they just have to switch on those machines again which they already did and in few weeks they will not just ful fill their own need bul aslo start selling gas to Japan and India as trump promised in last meeting with them, and rest 20% import from Canda is electricity, they used to busy that electricity just to bypass the Paris climate aggrement of having green electricity, biden insted of building green electricity industry he choosed to buy those from Canada and last rest 10% left which is $15billion for economy like US this much money is peanuts and 30% tarrife on that will have nearly no impact.

Ok, maybe Canada is starting to do something now...but where were you for the last 4 dam years??? Letting Chinese and other illegal aliens enter into our country!!! Only now you want to step up and do the right thing when you should've been doing it all along!!!! POS!!!!

Canada u have an actual leader (envious US citizen)

As an American, much props to the Canada! Boo the hell out of the U.S. national anthem any time it’s played!

Mexico will follow Canada and so will other countries \nAmerican people will suffer the most, Trump will not ?

Thank you PM Justin Trudeau! You are the best! You should remain the PM of Canada to save it! Trump is said to be an asset of Russia. His actions prove beyond a shadow of doubt that there is credence to the accusations. Actions speak louder than words, they say!

AMERICAN HERE , I AM A DIEHARD REPUBLICAN BUT I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THE AMERICAN PSYCHO NAMED TRUMP , GO CANADA GO

I'm an American and I totally stand with Canada

As a Canadian I hope Trump buries this tool. He is the reason it’s happening in the first place. Worst prime minister Canada has ever seen. Now he is doing what he does best, trying to capitalize on his victim status to regain popularity. Why are people this stupid?

Has Trump not considered the amount of fentanyl that is actually being produced right in his own country, same as in Canada and elsewhere in the world.

Support CANADA!!!!

Trump and his crooked administration are traitors and can’t be trusted. They are not protecting US citizens! There’s an internal coup in the US unfortunately. Protect your country Canada!

You want us to pull together, I GUESS YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE WASTED CANADA'S BILLIONS OF DOLLARS YOUR A COMPLETE FOOL.

Anti trump American is total support of Canada here! Pro EU! Anti Putin! Get it out of the White House!

I see why Canada dislikes this man.

As an American, I stand with Canada ❤

As a born and raised Canadian who is now American I am deeply sorry that the U.S. is doing this. I’m glad Canada is fighting back.

Americans will never accept Canada as a so called 51st state unless they vote for it. Canada is not a dictatorship. We Americans don't buy or conquer land from fellow democracies, only dictatorships. If there is an attempt the US Congress and the current states will block that.

4:15 thousands of vehicles ate being carnap in canada every year and ended in Africa and Trudeau and his government is doing nothing

Can Blue wall states join Canada to waive the Tariffs?\nCoz our leader is old, and weeak, and insane!

As an American I stand with Canada.

Canada needs to comprehend what being a junior associate in a deal means. That is what Canada is compared to the United States. Feelings have NO place when it comes to business. Keep your feelings and emotions out of it.

Europe get in contact with Canada and Mexico. Let the US go, they are not worth it anymore

Dear Canada, we'll be fine. Respectfully, the great folks of America.

More drugs come into canada from the usa thats facts
