I can confidently say as a Canadian, what Trump has done and continues to do is driving the biggest wedge between Canada and the USA. The jokes of Canada becoming a 51st state is outrageous and i speak for many fellow Canadians when saying - WE WILL DIE AS CANADIANS before bending the knee to America. This is exactly what Russia wants and the only true winner from this will be the countries praying on Canada and the US's downfall.

1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.

Trump is wanting to be a dictatorship and fully supports Putin ...we need to break from U.S. partnerships

I you want to stop Fentanyl to come into the US, you need to make sure people in the US are not getting addicted to Fentanyl. I don't see the Republican administration to do anything against that.

It's time to bring your trade elsewhere and turn off the energy sales. No need to argue with a nut case who wants to annex your country.

Trudeau is tough talking when he is about to not have to deal with the repurcussions of those hollow threats because canada wants him gone and hes out

All I see over here is blah blah blah I want to be a socialist blah blah blah. Well ****ing move if you're not happy. FFS you socialist love to talk bs but don't know **** about civics or economics. I've never seen such arrogance for stupidity. ???

Great speech. Elbows up,! Trump wants something without wanting to pay for it. Fentanyl was an excuse.

As a Canadian I do not support this moron. I dont want him sending a dime or my son to fight Russia.

I want my family to be one!

Many US citizens want to work with Canada! Eff Trump! Do what y'all need to do and we'll be working on getting that tyrant and his cronies out of office. I hope when this is all over we can be friends again and may it never happen again. Sometimes you need to slap sense into your friends and that is exactly what Canada is doing so thank you Canada.

Now that Russia is in taters, they want a ceasefire. The war was justified as long as Russia was winning? Ukraine has gained its advantage through great ingenuity and sacrifice. This is not the time to stop against the aggressor. Should the allies have stopped against Hitler? Look at Germany and Japan today. The victory will have plenty of investment opportunities to recoup their money. This is what the whole war is about!

i do not support what trump and elon are doing, what can i do, i would like trump impeached, i want peace and to raise my children, i want to be able to feed and house them. what is going on America we must stand up for Freedom and our rights!! we must unite and fight against this communist oligarchs. I do not support putin or trump's views.

To all who voted Trump you will get why you deserve unfortunately for the rest of us who have integrity and want peace something trump has no desire for he’s becoming Putin’s bitch!

We the American people want our \n$200 billion back Canada cannot sustain itself without the $200 billion giving to them by the American people’s tax dollars

Sit down and shut up Justin. Canadians want you out!

Trump doesn't want war or killing. You are continuing all of that for a little land.

America stand with us canada. Join our sides stand together America and canada both against trump. I would said against Justin too. Want see America to support our new future president is Pierre.

How is it possible that Americans can't see that the only countries in the WORLD who approve of a single of trump's choices are Hungary, turkey and Russia. Surely that's not the company you want to keep?

We don’t want this either ?

We want Canada in the EU ( European Union ). No problem about the name, we´ve already changed it a few times. We can rename it Union of the Free.\nBy the way, Russia, Alaska was part of Russia, you have to try to get Alaska back. We´ve already bought pop corn, let´s start the show.

Putin wants all of Europe, Trump wants all of North and South America. It's a tag team dictatorship.

My grandfather fought in world war II and he told me never trust a Russian, Canada will trade with the European Union while America seems to want to trade with Russia and Ally with Russia, \ngood luck with that. Let me know how it works out ?

We don’t want your Canadian trees

The world needs to speak up more! The American people don't want it either. We're helpless in the US to do anything with this stupidity. It's all Trump & project 2025.

From Denmark ?? \nThe government in USA keeps being aggressive towards all its allies, tradepartners, neighbours, Nato, ukarine, and so on.\nUSA president creates a lot of problems for everyone, and even tries to twist facts every one beside Russia & Northkorea.\nTrumps might take US down in the dark the next 3y+\nWhile the rest of the world will work even closer together.\nSeems US want to isolate them self with other dictator stats like putin...US have there own big problems to solve, mainly with their own president & so-called puppet vice president..vance.

Trudeau called the US President smart (?) because that is what he wants to hear to boost his small ego.

Trump and MAGA want canada and they believe they can do this by causing a recession. Meanwhile trump is negotiating with Putin to supply the raw materials canada was suppliyng.

Amazing how many people from different countries start getting mad when we come knocking for fair traid. We're-200 billion trade deficient with Canada and now they're up in arms. We've givin Ukrain 350 billion and Europe has the audacity to call us wavering support? You've given them 100 billion in loans. Hate the US all you want but we backed up our words. Yall didnt.

Don’t pick a fight with the US. You want to talk about wars that can’t be won, that’s a war you won’t win Canada. We have hardly lived five years without a war. Don’t go there. We are a resilient nation.

The European Union is behind Canada, we will trade freely with you and welcome you. American alcohol is no lo ger wanted in Europe.

Why is trudeau even talking, nobody wants him as our prime minister. Hes a disgrace! Please leave office asap....

The American people that have any brains whatsoever don't want this. It's all Donnie and his ass kissers doing what they want for him and his billionaire friends.

We voted to be more independent from other countries. We voted to make America a producer again. \nIf Canada and everyone else wants to be butt hurt about it then so be it. It also makes sense to alight yourself with the country that could take out all of the other countries. Putin won’t live forever either. This is about the long game. America first! \nWe don’t need yall and yall don’t need us so you shouldn’t care and flip out over tariffs lmao

usa government just joined russia... europeans do not see usa as an ally anymore. not for the next 4 year. usa is isolating itself like russia and north korea did.\nremember global trade after ww2 is what made usa so rich. if you want to be great again you need to have allies, you need open markets... this is anything but making america great again.

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

I'm teary ? while watching this.\n DONALD TRUMP Why you're doing this to us all? YOU ARE FULL OF GREED. MAY ALL THE WEALTH YOU WANT COMES WITH YOU 6 FEET UNDER.\n .. We CANADIANS will fight until the end. ?? ? ?? ? ?? ?

The American people don't want this either! We're mortified at the idiot in the White House. We all know this isn't about fentanyl. It's about Trump and Vance destroying all of the relationships with our allies and aligning with the communist/dictatorial countries in the world. Is this what y'all voted for, MAGA?

Kick out pakistani and Bangladeshs immigrants along with the clown giving this speech, i e. if you want to win. .

The point, and only point about the Trump/Musk/Vance trifecta, is the cruelty. They want to destroy our nation to rebuild from our ashes, a Christo-Fascist regime.

I just stopped playing with friends when they turned into dicks. Now as an Adult I want the border shut to anyone with a US passport. I want it shut to anything coming or going to America. Close the border. \nI'm cool with struggling so the Americans can be independent....

The Drug Fentanyl is coming into the USA because Americans want it to come in .\n. America would be better employed finding the reason for people to need this narcotic .Maybe it's because your . society is so unfair, maybe it's because you have so many people without money, possessions, education and opportunities . Maybe it's because you don't look after your sick and elderly and UNDERPRIVILEGED.. Trump should not blame other country's HE SHOULD ACT LIKE A REAL LEADER . And show leadership AND focused on improving the well-being of all citizens.

Trudeau is a great leader. I’m so sorry for what our loser Trump is doing. I do want Canada to know that Americans are feeling all the bad things that Trump is doing. We cannot let this continue.

He is not our PrimeMinister he is a lie murderis teaser and has cost Canada. We don’t want him to speak for us or the liberals

I cannot believe this is happening. We do not want this. How dare Trump dismantle our government and our precious alliances. Those that voted for him must not have understood what they were voting for. Trump’s legacy will be one of great shame for his family.

He wants TOTAL COLLAPSE OF YOU TRUDEAU. He is tired of you rolling around the world, speaking on his back, SUCKING CHINESE CCP and SPREADING DEI AND CLIMATE HOAX.

Over half of Americans are uneducated and lots are ignorant too, yes- but the smart ones stuck here are TERRIFIED, we are so f*cking scared that we are going to turn into North Korea. Anyone not from the USA trust the smart ones screaming for help- our government fills our foods with poisons and we are all weak but a lot do want to fight this evil
