I did not vote for Trump. I'm saddened by this knowing that Canada is of good people.

My question is why retaliate at all? If tariffs are paid for by the country that imposes them then just let America pay the higher prices and keep imports in Canada at a lower cost. What am I missing?

I think I want to move to Canada. America is full of shit too much gun violence. Nobody cares about all the innocent children that are dying and now we have a president who wants to make everybody’s lives miserable. For all of you that voted for Trump. I hope you see the truth of what he’s about a worthless individual a narcissistic psycho make America great that is the worst saying of all time he’s making America lousy.

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 . . .

We are ashamed of the current government and mad at half of the country that voted for the orange head! Apologies on behalf of the USA. We stand with Canada and Ukraine, not Trump!

Thank you, Canada. Well spoken, I hope your words get through

Good for Canada. Viva la revolution.

I’m not with Canada, I stand with my Country ??????

Canada has treated the US like crap for so long. Trudeau acts so innocent but if anyones a dictator its Trudeau. Free speech is dead in Canada and we all saw what he did durring covid. Arresting people for having home church!! Treats his country like crap. All he cares about are his European buddies.

Putin wants to destroy US and Canada, why don’t they realize this

#SecedeCalifornia before it's too late! \nAlly with Canada, Mexico, and the U.N

Fentanyl seizures going “into” the US from Canada is now so low is almost non-existent. Meanwhile Canada just seized 8.5 tonnes of cocaine going “from” the US into Canada just this week. Canada suffers way more illegal drugs and guns coming across the US border than the US has across the Canadian border. This is all the dumbest trade war declaration in history.

Now that is a true leader, well spoken and intelligent. Keep up the fight and stay strong Canada!! Elbows up!!!

Didn't Donald say a week or so ago that Canada did 30 times better and that border is closed. Did it collapse or something???

Bravo Mr. Trudeau ??? Europe stands with Canada ??

The Good smart thinking people in America ?? do NOT want ? Trump making bad relations with Canada ?.

As a businessman, Trump was using Fentanyl crisis as a lame excuse. No matter how much fentanyl is controlled across borders he was still guaranteed in imposing the 25% trade tariff. \nCanada govt invested so much into the border security recently and visited multiple times in Washington to discuss this 25% trade tariff but all of them forgot that Trump is a very aggressive and stubborn when it comes to money!\n\nI am glad Trump has made Canada and even Trudeau bold and self dependent now!

What's America doing to stop their illegal flow of drugs and guns into Canada. 6-8 weeks ago, our Canadian border services seized 900kg of cocaine crossing the Detroit border!

Canada is becoming Jamaca??

What about cocaine and guns flooding into Canada from the US. Let get something done about that.

But Trudeau the Americans from the USA are just St*p*d and they are blind they do not see the same things as you Canada and Europe see \nAmericans are really St*p*d .

Long live Canada from Ukraine. Stand strong! Trump must be destroyed

I wish I could move to Canada where there are actual “rational thinking leaders”. It is so refreshing to listen to President Trudeau…he seems so sane, so even tempered and SO normal and he presents himself as a very mature thinking adult with excellent leadership, communication and motivational skills. So sad that we cannot say that about Trump and his pathetic “cult-like” followers!

I want to live in Canada…

So,if Trump places Tariffs on Canada,it'll raise prices in the U.S. If Canada puts tariffs on the U.S. it will also raise prices in the U.S.?????????

If the Gov't of Canada issued citizenship to Musky, why can't the same gov't void/cancel his citizenship? Why put their people through the hassle of signing petitions?

Sorry Wolf this is an incredible. This is exactly what everybody in Canada and the Democrats told you was gonna happen with Donald Trump. You guys are no Walter Cronkite that’s for sure. 20:09

My curse is always for Canada

I’m an American in Florida and I didn’t vote for this.I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am appalled at our government

It’s not your fault Trudeau. We know it’s trump’s fault. He’s a rat bastard and I didn’t vote for him. You take care of your good people. As an American citizen, I wish you were our president! I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine!??

We all know it had nothing to do with fentanyl. It is Trump's agenda. Reading all the comments I am also proud of Canada but we need to do something about Trump! Are we just going to keep letting this happen? Him screwing us all the while his wife and buddies and himself making money for themselves??? I'm ready for the next Revolution!

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

As a Kiwi, I support you Canada?? You have the support and love of most New Zealanders. That is a great leader who loves his country.

Trudeau is a weak poor leader. Why fight when we can work together to bring down these tariffs. This is why Canada is struggling.

Thank you Canada - put Trump in his place. ?? From an American disgusted by our president.

Trump will invade Canada to take its natural resources.. The trade war is just step one

Canada … 92% of black folks voted against Trump. We stand with you.

Now, Canada will gonna lose 200B subsidy from “Donald” that DOGE found out.

I have no idea if Prime Minister Trudeau reads any of these comments or if his team does, but as an American, I am ashamed of our current government. We have a narcissist for a leader who is a bad businessman and a puppet of Putin. How refreshing to see a real LEADER who actually cares about his country and not himself. I support Canada wholeheartedly. I suspect many Americans will be hurt badly by these embargoes and (justified) retaliatory tariffs - but so be it.

Sweden stands with Canada \n??❤??

Let's look at the facts!!!!! There's a zombie apocalypse going on in all cities in Canada right now!!!! Is anyone buying this bullshit???

Canada is bringing all Islamists from all over the world, then unleashing them into the USA., which is more dangerous than all illegal pouring into the USA from south combined

Excellent speech of PM Trudeau! Couldn't the US become Canada's 11th Province?

Stop using words such as friends and allies. The US have chosen to established allies with Russia and abandoned Canada, Mexico, the EU, and NATO. Ditch the US. Ban with the global community and gang up on trump and the US economy. Use our power as members of the British Commonwealth and friends with the EU.

Dear Canada,\nNot all of us chose him. Put him in his place.

Thousands of illegal crossings come from Canada. Step it up Justin.

I LIVE IN THE BEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD ?? LOVE MY CANADA ?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE ❤❤❤

Canada and europa buys bitcoin\nTrump will fall like his shitcoin

Okay, so is Trump trying to make Canada easier for Russia to invade from the Arctic??? Arctic sovereignty has always been a contentions issue, and it could get even worse. To HELL with Trump and all of the MAGAts and gop.

Stay strong Canada against this dictatorship.
