Trudeau is good at brainwashing. It has nothing to do with the people. It has to do with this dictator regime who taxes everyone and everything in Canada. Basically. And don't want to stop. They leave their borders open and immigration here in Canada is out of control. They give refuge to criminals in Canada and no rule of law. This guy is a dictator and food at brainwashing in the media.

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

As an American, I don’t understand it either. Trump is not my president! I stand with Canada! I don’t recognize my government anymore!

Trump as he announced wants Canada and Greenland that is why those tariffs are in place , that is why why he thinks of Putin like his hero and giving on Ukraine. Tariffs war is just a beginning

Canada, America, and Mexico should form a Union based on the EU model.

Why are we in a trade war with Canada? God, this is going to be a long four years.

Canada ?

Canada is a failed communist globalist dictatorship censorship -promoting regime. Trudeau is a clown ?.

As an European, I hope that Europe and Canada work together to counter the childish madness of Trump and his sycophants.

❤ well done! ?? Half of are country voted for trump and I wasn’t one of them. Stand strong Canada ❤ ??

I STAND WITH CANADA and MEXICO! I wish Prime Minister Trudeau didn't resign!

I stand with Canada . What the orange ghoul and muskrat are doing to this country is unforgivable. As a cadaian born , but have to live here because of Air Force father wa WWII . We are retired now and husband is a veteran, it’s already hard for us, now it will get worse.. God Canada must think they are living above a meth lab thanks to that thing in the White House. ??

You go, Canada!\nStay strong!?❤

Irishman here, well done Canada for standing up to the bully.. Great speech... The EU will gladly trade with you....????....

While I don’t agree with Trumps tariffs, I understand why he’s doing them. As a Canadian citizen, please don’t glamorize Trudeau- hes a spoiled rotten brat of a former PM. Nothing more. You’ve not lived the last 10 years under his totalitarian govt, suspending the rights of Canadians at will, insulting and dividing our country at will, taking away legal firearms owners rights rights at will (people who had to pass safety courses and are more vetted than RCMP officers). \n\nHe’s proven to be more fake than a $3 dollar bill. All the liberal & ndp’s in Canada are. He has the worst record in Canadian history as a PM, including the highest taxes, home prices, massive, unsustainable immigration, and the worst healthcare crisis in Canada’s socialized medical system since its inception. \n\nHe’s accumulated more debt than all previous PM’s COMBINED (as per the PBO). \n\nThen he comes on here after he resigned on Jan.6th - yes after cratering Canada’s economy methodically for the last 10 yrs - to inflame the POTUS and who will pay for that? Canadian and American working class citizens. \n\nIf you think Canada is so great, you’re either a wealthy boomer, or have no clue what it’s like to work for a living in this modern economy in Canada. People are required to work 2-3 jobs just to afford the basics. Wages have been stagnant since the 90’s here, with cost of living rising 600-700% in the last 10 yrs.

Canada for EU ❤

Canada should lower income taxes now since boat loads of money will be flowing into government coffers.

I'm with Canada ?%

It's not a trade war, he did it because canada allowed illegal immigrants over the US border. He knows what he did was wrong and the borders are there for a reason. He fucked up, not America. And good luck canada, your gonna suffer because of these counter tariffs.

Trump is a very, very silly individual. His reasoning is unfounded completely. This is the absolute dumbest move Trump could ever implement. As a nation Canada can diversify and obtain new trading partners. Asia and Europe are already negotiating with us to purchase our oil and gas etc..

Maybe The US should become Canada's second state

Respect and partnerships are built on a foundation of mutual ideas and business, when that respect is broken there is no partnership. I stand with Canada.

Is the world having a problem with the US having a strong leader? I think so! The US is no longer taking your unfairness and your grifter expectations toward us. For example, we do 68% of the monetary support of NATO. Let that sink in. Also, we have billions of dollars of a trade deficit with Canada. These leaders of other countries just can not understand why we will no longer be their piggy bank. In conclusion, my son has lived and traveled in Europe. I learned a lot just from his experiences in general. I love my president, Trump!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have felt blessed to be an American all my life.

Not a trade war, increasing taxes for their country. If you don't want to pay, buy somewhere else. United States is securing global peace by developing relations with Russia. Murderous dictator, America has blood on their hands invading other countries, same with Canada, my (stupid) country Australia etc. I thought this clown resigned.

Good for you Canada

TRUMP strikes back at the WEF Globalists in Canada.

As an American I agree with Canada. The only way to get our dictator childish president to stop is to fight back. Hit him in his wallet. Our president is shameful and an embarrassment. Destroying all our alliances and supporting Russian dictator is absolutely unacceptable

As a US citizen who voted for Trump, I have no idea why Trump impose tariffs on Canada. Why can’t Trump just ask Canada straight if he wants something done by Canada? Does he want to limit Chinese products through Canada?

There is only one thing he got wrong trump is not smart he’s dumber than rocks, I stand with Canada ??

as an American, Good on Canada. Go For It. We are sick of this mess and we know you didn't start it.

Canadas border is safe because America is the frontier…. Otherwise Canada would look like Mexico

Canadas tuff decision: to be 51st state or continue as a colony...? Tuff indeed

I hate saying I am a American BUT I am so very proud of Trudeau and I think once Canada turns off it's power to America and turns off the gas line Canada can have frump by the balls which needs to be done and ASAP .. GOD BLESS CANADA

Trade wars usually start nation wars. Trump wants Canada to throw a punch (false flag, anyone?) and give reason to grab Greenland.

This matters little. Canada will collapse first, Trudeau acts like Americans are undergoing some plight. We are fine

Friend like Trump canada needs no enemy.?????????????

I would say Mr Trudeau stay in your country i do not want anything from Canada

Canada... getting closer together , good for you to build up your nation during this hardship.

Hey Canada. Huge respect for standing up against this bullying Trump/Vance/Musk/Rubio Gang. Let us Team up to bring wealth and strength to our people. Sad thing is that the nice people from America and their beautiful Country has to suffer under these bullies bring up the whole world up against themselves for no reason. Greetings from Europe.

We are sorry that the buffoon in the white house is causing issues we r truly sorry and we support you Canada

Canada has use all the help America gave them but America barely get anything in return

Prime Minister no apologies American supporting Canada. Thankyou!

Canada, please take over U.S. and save us from this racist regime.

The United states has very quickly lost the respect and TRUST of the entire World. With so much going on in the World right now this makes absolutely no sense. There is literally NO reason for this except to punish Canada. Everyone is already struggling just to make ends meet these days after C0vid and this will RUIN lives. The lives of your once best friend and ally. Canada and the World will not forget this. This is a direct attack on the people of Canada. Disgusting state of affairs . Americans , you better start standing up against this fool before your once amazing country is destroyed from within. Things are already out of hand and only going to get worse. Its very sad.

Texan for Canada and a leader who is articulate, civil and intelligent...the polar opposite of Putin's beotch.

Go Canada! Show all the lies and propaganda from US siding with Russia.

I'm an American that loves you, Canada. I want this madness to end and I want our relationship to mend. It might take time, but I hope it at least happens in my lifetime

I support you, Canada. ❤Detroit

Trump Charge them 26%We're behind you Stand Stand strong stand your ground It's only fair How long Canada cheated America Look how long they let Muslims cross through the border

lol, that girly dude doesn’t scare anyone. So does Canada
