O bs. Does anyone actually believe Trudeau anymore? Canada already have tariffs on US goods. Clearly they have not done enough yet on dropping these, plus fentanyl and immigration, so Trump is driving the point home.\nImposing counter-tariffs is like a monty python joke.

Boohoo to you Trudeau, you and your mafia gang created this mess. Get your sh*t together, coz imho you are an abject failure here in Canada.\nTrump warned you months ago about tarrifs if you didn’t tighten up the border to stop the flow of fentanyl into the States.\nBut what has Trump done to stop the illegal flow of firearms into Canada?\nSo, strengthening the border is the responsibility of both sides.\nNow that the tariffs are on, Canada has no other option but fight back with tariffs against America…so howz it going strengthening our borders?

I think Trump wants to brake Canada ,bring us to our knees and force us to give up and say ok we'll become your 51st state,and why does he want to take us over well thats easy ,he wants to take over and control are resource's And i have yet to hear why Trump says we have abused American for years,like how have we done that?

Even as a Canadian who is not a fan of Trudeau I must say this is the best speech he’s given. I’m proud that Canada is standing strong against the USA right now. Well done Trudeau.

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.

This clown does not speak for Canada....he has done far worse damage than any tariffs can do to us.

Good job, Prime Minister. You represented Canada with strength and dignity. Statesmanlike. Well done.

From Ireland, well done Canada. We cannot believe that Trump got in. Watching the US unravel is scary. We stand with Ukraine, Europe and Canada

This man and his liberals have done more damage to Canada than Trump ever could. Trudeau is such a drama queen. Maybe drop the act, stop laundering money, and smuggling drugs. So worried about the tariffs - you have done even worse to us with your BS carbin tax. All you liberals are completely corrupt.

Well done Trudeau and Canada. trump is a cancer on the planet and only idiots support him

As an angry American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine! Well done, Prime Minister Trudeau!?

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

Well done, Canada! ??

So here we see a REAL President. Wel spoken and friendly. Well done Canada!!!

Wel done Canada

Well done Canada. Trump thinks because he is a bully that everyone will fall down and accept whatever he tells them.\nBullies are a thing of the past. The USA is absolutely FU*KED.\nWell done all who voted for this idiot and dictator Trump. Fools.

I am from New York ?? but I am standing with Canada ?? all the way ? I am not supporting Trump or did I ever voted for this orange piece of $#*+. Trump voters and fanatics you are the blame for your ignorance. So go ahead cry on social media for your mistakes and ignorance you will never get a sympathy from me ever. I am done and I am standing on my business.

Finish Free trade zone with EU. Its already in progress, with maximum engagement from Canada and EU it can be done it less than a month. Lets call it MTES - Make Trumputin Eat Shit.

Why are we tolerating this? We do we allow this orange doofus to do this? Canada has done nothing. I stand with my northern brothers and sisters. I stand with Ukraine.

Well done Canada

From Denmark, I can say that seasonally working countries have that intensity. When there's work to be done, we get to doin'. True north is right. ❤ Canada, from Europe

Let us not forget, that there is also a boycott of travel to the United States which means there are billions of dollars that will not be spent on travel, on accommodation, on the purchase of goods while in the States because there is no longer vacation or travel being done by Canada. That is going to be hundreds of billions of dollars lost to US coffers. This is going to hurt America deeply.

Scottish here,well done,be strong canada,be PROUD \n\ni hope to buy Canadian products to show my support to you,All of you\n\nRespect\n\nThere is a pair of RATS in the Whitehouse and the floor is covered in leeches

Can you please put someone up there to speak to Trump with a set of balls! Also Justin, Canada wouldn't be as bad off right now if you had done your job correctly for the last 9 years. We are STILL ALL BLAMING YOU!

Well done Canada ??✅.\nWe-the-people, are backing you with citizens in the USA boycotting our own country ??????it hurts everyone???

Go for it Canada !!! Tell Trump to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Off !! Well done Canada .

Most of the time o support my president what he does may not like but I support his decision however we never had a child be president before most president understand what they do harm us so try not to harm us too badly however we have one know Canada has no way done anything anything to do to deserve this so I support Canada ?? I will alaway defend those who are innocent those who are being bullied by a bullies and I will always fight against a coward to thinks having more pals to bully with aren’t your friends just afraid they will be the next bullies that’s elementary play ground crap every school has that going on from K THUR 5

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.

Good job Justin. There's nothing else you could have said or done. The problem as I see it, is that responding in kind to Trump like this is possibly to invite an invasion, justified by Trump claiming that Canadian assets are essential to US national security. It's hard to parse the provocation from the US as anything less than a pretext to eventually try and annexe Canada. Maybe Russia will attack the Baltics at the same time. It's becoming increasingly obvious that the US Government is no longer a friend to the free world.

I'm trying to pick which idiotic thing this moronic president has done is the worst. The Tariffs. The Ukraine/Russia war. The Gaza handling. The Covid handling., or all of the above. I'm sure I'm missing something, but those should suffice..I'm American, and I STRONGLY stand with Canada! ..Oh! Mass deportations! How could I forget?!

This is amazing. This prime minster talks as if Canada did nothing wrong and US decided to bully them for no reason. If everything's fine and dandy, we wouldn't have done this. Trump did what he did because of \n\n1. Drug trafficking from north + illegal emigrants\n2. Unfair trade deficit in times when our national debt is unsustainably high. \n\nWhy so high? Because we've been giving Canada SURPLUS for decades. Can't do that no more because we have to save our country now. Don't mischaracterize this move, fools.

Even as an American, I am proud to think one American in particular watched Connor score his Overtime goal, only to realize he had lost his first stand off with Canada in such a public, humiliating way! Now to see the man his wife made the moves on address both nations with more toughness and intelligence than he ever showed has got to hurt him real bad! Well done Canada! All the love from your American fan and supporter! ??❤️??

Trudeau, where is your proof that Mr. Putin is a lying murderous dictator, other than your globalist talking points and this mysterious rules-based order conveniently rolled out and articulated by you and other Western leaders only when it serves to bamboozle the Canadian people. Oh, that's right. The truth is that Canada and its Western allies have done much worse than Vladimir Putin, unfortunately many Canadians have been indoctrinated by this silly rhetoric, and more importantly, their are many Canadians that simply see through your lies and remain vigilant for Canada and Canadians.

Well done, Canada! Love from Ukraine!

Well done Canada

Question for citizens living in states of Washington, Oregon and California. \n\nHow many of you would consider seceding this Union (formerly called the United States) to become a separate nation? Or be open to join Canada as the 11th Province? \nImagine now trade could be done directly with Mexico!!! \n\nEnough thumbs up and maybe we could start a “Petition”. I would be open (a DON scientist recently fired by Musk/MAGA) to collecting the data and involving lawyers to draft the petition.

Well America is done with Canada ripping off the usa.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, what is happening in America under Trump is catastrophic! He is not only destroying our relationships with allies like Canada, he is destroying every facet of our government agencies that he can. Trump is Hitler 2.0 and as an American, I am resolved to fight back! I am not alone, 81% of us are angry at what we see happening. It feels like we are watching Pearl Harbor’s attack, only instead of this attack being from a foreign country, it’s being done by our own President whose target is America, her people and our world allies. \nWe are sorry for how he is hurting you. I don’t know how we will stop him, but I can assure you we will!

Thanks to you and your policies you’ve done this to Canada and the liberal NDP coalition time to step down maybe today would be a good step PP for Prime Minister. Let’s bring it home.

Call that orange ass out. Tell the US citizens exactly what he is doing. Well done PM Trudeau. Elbows up, we are going over the boards Canada.

The U.S. needs to reduce the trade gap with Canada—plain and simple! We’re done putting our country’s needs second to benefit Canada. Now, let’s talk about the trade imbalance you have with us.

What's this? Grown up politics? who's going to be able to translate so trump understands.\n\nWell done Canada?

It amazes me that Canada still allows this clown ro drive them over the cliff. Guys like him can't make a deal in favor of their people because they refuse to goto to the table and act like a logical intelligent adult. Goid luck with this guy Canucks.\n\nThis man is a corrupt enemy of the US plain and simple. Canada deserves better. His actions will hurt Canada far more than the US.\n\nKeep in mind this whole thing has alot to do with stopping fentanyl coming across our border.\n\nThis man lies and twists the truth - as he always has. This would not be happening if he was right - but its happening. The US doesn't want to hurt Canada but we are done being hurt by Canada's corrupt leadership

I don't think lifting the tariffs would make things as they were again. All these threats to make Canada the 51st state have done damage that cannot be erased with any economic policy

Don't be fooled by Trudeaus lies.We have done nothing to address the issues. This so-called fentynl czar has kept a really low profile. We've heard nothing action oriented. The 1 percent statistic is also fabricated and misrepresents. Look at the massive drug lab busted in BC that had the potential to kill all of Canada many times over. Trudeau is like the wizard. Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Canada should join EU and shutup Trump who is a big Bullshit done nothing

Well done, Canada. Now, join the EU!

Trump wants to annex Canada.\n\nNEVER going to happen. You will NEVER have our country. We are DONE.

Well done Canada, stand up to the terrible bully.

Some of us don’t want this either! I did not vote for these goons. :/\n\nYou’ve done everything you can, but there is no pleasing this administration. Some of us really appreciate your efforts! And hope to keep Canada as a close ally. But this goon that is calling the shots only cares about one person, that is himself. \n“It’s a real threat to US security.” Amen!!
