It takes a very evil person to try and turn Canada into an enemy while turning Russia into an ally.

So Canada stands with Child traffickers, rapists, murders and drug runners got it. And look at all the communist Americans that take that side. Thank God Trump Won ! Kick all Canadian businesses out of US. Stop all Aid and military funding shut Canada down. Deport all illegals to Canada.

Thank you Canada, the US is too weak to take care of the MAGA problem we have. Hope Mexico sticks it to him too

Trudeau and Canada are missing the bigger picture. It is beyond me why these politicians keep taking the bait by addressing these distractions like fentanyl. This has nothing to do with fentanyl. It has everything to do with Trump weakening Canada to seize control over the Northwest Passage per Putin’s instructions.

Oh no maple syrup ............nooooo . Have any of you Canadians looked into what Canada imports vs exports .......... remeber all those new green deal garbage is out the window here in the USA, so lumber is going back up , mining , etc . Just because our countries are next to each other doesn't make us neighbors......... your country has allowed trahs polices to over ride your citizen rights, you've filled your country with migrants , you support crazy sick policies allowing sexual perversion to be put before public saftey . If your countries economy is so effected by this maybe you need this , got a little to relaxed riding tr he coat tails of being next to America. And don't take it personal , this isn't about you as a country but more about American calling out americna companies who build factories only your side , get great deals for taxes and then import the products back to American at a premium retail price and then profit off the American people while offering nothing back .........the end goal is to either make thise companies pay more to get products over the boarder , or bring the factories back here and employee americans .........and last I check the Canadian government doesn't own or produce any products so the things that will be imported to usa will be the ones with a cost rise to the companies that are producing them ........ them............

I see the comment section is completely one sided which is obsurd considering the # of views this video has(over 5.5 million in just 7 hours) and over 70k comments yet not a single comment opposes Canada ? I'll be sure to come back to this video later to verify my comment has been deleted. I'm taking a screenshot of this post after I hit comment as proof an attempt to make an opposing opinion on a cnn video was done, but was quickly removed. Lets see.....

Okay, so US tariffs are bad and will cause financial trouble for both Americans and Canadians. Won’t Canadian Tariffs do the same thing? Furthermore, Canada will not win a Tariff war with the US. Canada’s response is not rational, nor is it in the best interest of the country. What about working with Trump to understand what it takes to remove all tariffs.

Why did it take Trump to make Canada do obviously easy enforcement on Fentanyl? Shameful.

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.

I could not love this more!!! American, here. Sock it to us!! It's going to take Canada, Mexico, and Europe to force Trump to back down and stop being a b@by @$$ little b!tch!

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

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

Trudeau will go down as one of Canada’s worst prime ministers. Under his leadership, the country has seen skyrocketing inflation, a housing crisis, out-of-control immigration, rising crime, and a worsening opioid epidemic. He’s divided Canadians, mismanaged major issues, and made life more expensive for everyone. Sadly, the damage he's done will take years for the next federal government to fix!!!

I’m actually very scared…. It’s insane what is going on. Can Canada just take over the US? We’d be in much better shape TBH.

WITH you CANADA.ALL THE WAY. DONT BLAME YOU ONE BIT.TRUMPH A MAD MAN.A FELON. SPOILED BRAT.comni g from Alaska. we have no problem with Canada never did.We don't have a president.we have a DICTATOR. wants to rule everybody.sell out Alaska. take over the Gaza strip.change the constitution to fit his deranged thinking.and use the power to have his revenge on anyone who won't Bow to Him or Musk. WITH YOU CANADA..DONT BACK DOWN.TO THIS JERK.

Oh no Canada is mad. Who gives a fuck, no one takes this asshole serious. Wake up we gotta new sheriff in town! Americas back baby!!!!

I was waiting for him to offer Americans a free Visa, “come live in Canada, where we take care of our people.”

This is clearly the death of the United States of America and the birth of Trumplandia. I hope Canada will take the 150 million or so immigrants who loved America.

Maybe when Canada gets a new Prime Minister that doesn't take advantage of the U.S.A maybe things will change.

Canada doesn't seem to understand that we don't need them. We can make everything in america its simple. Thats the route trump is going. Sorry canada but time to take care of yourself. Its sad but canada should be able to take care of it's ppl on its own

I don't think I've ever seen or heard Trudeau this angry before. Justifiably so. I hate that your government has done this but Canada will not back down. There is no real justification for these tarrifs other than Donald trying to take our land and resources. \n\nYou can think what you want about Trudeau, but he is absolutely correct. These tarrifs, this trade war against a long time ally, partner, and friend, is indeed a very dumb thing to do.

Thank you Canada! Millions of Americans stand with you even though we’ll take the brunt of the financial burden.

Canada, please take note, I did not vote for the orange lump. He does not speak for me. He does not speak for a lot of us. Stay strong, and proud. The next 4 years are going to be rough, but America has been through worse and this too shall pass. Love to Canada & Ukraine. ?

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Trump ask Canada to take care of their border and they refused and that’s why these tariffs have been put in place?

I maybe an ignorant on politics , but what happens when USA , well not USA but the Trump administrations has caused so much damage to the country to the point where other maybe most of his allies start taking responses such as that of Canada , and escalate to the point where perhaps USA lose most of his allies at least important allies such as Canada, the support of the global geopolitics , I Maine that scenario for a moment wouldn't that give Trump an excuse to align even more openly with Putin? I mean why would Trump want that at all who knows but he is certainly aligning with Russia just not openly at least that's what a lot of these decisions he has made recently seem to suggest I mean a lot of the consequences of those decisions and acting really seem to benefit someones agenda and to me a politics ignorant seems to be Putin ... Am I too crazy for thinking and feelings like that???

You morons in the comments have you forgotten how Castro's son Justin, silenced free speech, shut down your businesses, locked you out of your own bank accounts, stole money that Americans sent to help the truckers survive after Trudeau seized all their bank accounts. What has Trudeau ever done for you, ayeee??? \nKentucky here, we don't care if Canada takes our bourbon, lol, stupid reporter. Oohh, we are so scared now. Shut the front door, propaganda itch!!! Suck it !!!!

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

I'm an American and support the actions Canadians are taking to secure the border between Canada and the United States. I did not vote for Trump this time but to my disappointment he won the election and now we have to deal with him his administration and the issues he is causing. I only pray we will make it through this.

You go Canada... I'm embarrassed to be an American... Take down trump and his empire

We will pull our troops from every overseas base as we can reach the world from our side of the planet. Half of these military units will take Canada, and the rest will be in Mexico. Still wanna play?

I don’t like Canada. I cannot wait til US troops march into Canada and take the land that BELONGS to us

To the people of Canada, I'm sorry. We appreciate you and understand any measures you take. There are still people of reason and integrity here.

I’m so sorry, Canada. Don’t take it personally. trump is insane. Totally crazy! It cannot be reasoned with. I now understand how Hitler got into power.

Hi from Canada... When you look at a long line of MAGA't Zombie voters and you see them all smiling and collectively they make one complete set of teeth and then you allow them to vote in their golden pig and make him president, this is what you get! I realise that everyone that is good and decent in the USA bent over backwards not to look down or insult MAGA't types for fear of further alienating them, all it has done is backfired both upon good and decent Americans but upon the cult of Orange Jesus as well. So now we're left with this dystopian mess. Long past time to take the gloves off and get into the fight. Pretend you're all hockey players playing the Russians... leave it ALL on the ice!!!

Canada won't back down from a fight....LMAO, with what military! Look, what the mindless people don't get is that unless you want to go full scale nuclear war, we have to live on the same planet w/Putin. So Canada, giddy-up your pony and go take on Putin yourself or STFU!

???Now the USA is not a reliable country nor a reliable seller, so Trump is destroying his own country. Besides this crazy tax-tariff thing, now the whole world has seen that Trump has removed the military aid to Ukraine... so the whole world has seen that if you buy weapons to the USA or you use them, the USA will extort you or leave you stranded even in dangerous situations. So now NOBODY is going to buy weapons to the USA, and considering that the American economy massively relies on its military industry, this can cause a huge collapse. Other countries and other markets will step up and take the position of the USA in the market and the world, because other countries are reliable, especially those in Europe and Canada, and the USA is not.

Canada doesn't stand a chance against United States If we wanted to take you over we could. ???? So what it has been high who cares. You have nothing i want.. and you should have thought that before your country made a mockery of our national anthem when Darien lake New York always plays yours and we always stand so get bent cokehead

Hit us again... we are protesting and we are boycotting... we can only do so much to the economy without global partners helping us... Dear Canada please help us take down the Beast that has come to consume THE WORLD

Trump has damaged relationships between our countries that will take a long time to repair. I did not vote for Trump and I wholeheartedly accept that Canada has to respond strongly to his harmful, stupid tariff policies. It’s going to hurt us all.

I'm fine with Canada and the UK going bankrupt if they bring it on themselves. I hope Europe can shake off the EU parasites controlling it before they are destroyed. I hope Russia takes back Russian speaking territories and provide the people with aged pensions, social programs and infrastructure and for the western parts to be absorbed into its neighbors where they can also receive assistance to get back on their feet. Finally, we should stop engineering color revolutions and capturing vassals to be used as a proxy in planned conflicts and placing military bases on borders where they are not welcome.

Shame on you, CNN! Taking the side of a dictator wanna be when Canada and Mexico is trying to work with our lousy president! Shame on you! Wake up people! Trump is Putin’s puppet. He is selling out the United States for God sake wake up!

I am moving to Canada. this is what a leader looks like. take a good look MAGA sh*ts!

Trudeau, you damaged Canada and brought it to where it is right now you have no right to speak on anything and tell about what other people have done. Take accountability for yourself and you have failed the Canadian people. I don’t know why we have a bunch of Canadians over here, sucking you off like they don’t remember what you’ve done. Is everyone on this page who is a Canadian suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Do you not remember what this guy has done to our country with immigration and taxing us with the carbon tax out of the Wazzu. Give your head a shake you sleepy Canadians. Canadians act too weak and that’s why we’re treated this way.

We’re taking Canada get ready !!!

blitzkrieg. take care canada <3

Is it possible that Putin and Trump are plotting on Canada? Like a take over

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

Go Canada ! Great job Mr PM for taking a bold stand

I'm a Canadian living in the USA. I want to fly my Canadian flag, but the Americans will take that as our house wants Canada as a 51st state. It will never happen!
