Four more years will pass soon, and God willing, new Administration will put everything back, stay strong, Canada.

As a usa citizen its utteraly cringe how bad things have changed for the worst. Respect to canada for calling it like it is and not backing down.

Our Feminist leader here in Canada paid an N.d.a. to a 14 yr old while a Teacher . He doesn't represent any Canadian and we want him sent back to Cuba... \n\nTrump 2025 make us the 51 st state...

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book. You can’t change that note They will be talking about economy classes. They gonna be talking about this history classes they gonna be talking about Trump and JD Vance and this administration has the worst administration modern day America even in the past the worst thing that’s gonna happen is all of these guys who find himself alienated when they die. They will find himself alienated. Their kids will find himself alienated of their existence. The only way their kids is gonna escape that they have a daughters The only way you gonna escape that as a man who is back in this administration is to have daughters that could change their fucking name other than that any mail that is from these despicable despicable if you watch the movie, the despicable, even the guy that was the biggest biggest most craziest most narcissistic, OK we talk about the dude with all the minions minions. He even had a common sense and had a understanding and had a heart this administration talk about Biden talk about bull talk about Obb like they did something different. They didn’t do something different Obama Bush and NN and Biden did way better this administration they tagged the republican party for years to come. I hope you remember that no one in their mind will vote for Republican for years to come. I guarantee that, you let me give you 50 cash OK you don’t got businesses I could hop in and out of this country on a private plane or even take first class you guys are stuck here.

I really make money you guys don’t your tax return is below 50,000 you guys gonna be in trouble? Good luck I stand with Canada.

I do hope that Canada, EU and Britain will work together, there is no reason Britain and EU cannot replace America as the main trade partners and I have seen plenty of other videos about other asian countries indicating interest in Canada's trade.\n\nBut this is much more than just tariffs, Trump has really gone off the deepend siding with Russia and undermining Ukraine, even undermining the sanctions, I wouldn't be surprised if he is already trading with Russia, using whatever bizarre pretext he chooses.\n\nThese should already be red flags to Canada, there is a long standing relationship with the UK and Ukraine, but Canada is only reacting on the tariffs, which detracts from what other action they might have taken.\n\nThe imposition of these tariffs should be the straw that breaks the camels back, I hope that if America repeals these tariffs that Canada will still diversify so that they don't ever end up in this situation again.

As a Canadian, I can assure you CNN and all Americans, Canada will not back down. Remember this pain your country will feel is not what Canadians want, but our response to your President’s stupidity and apparent new support for our mutual enemy Russia. Get you country back. You are sliding into fascism and authoritarianism. We hope you right your ship.

It's just the worst timeline to live in, our entire list of allies will turn their backs on us and we'll be left alone with Russia and DPRK as our only backing. Canada, I will fight by your side if there is ever some war between our countries.

I would say if you stop the flow of drugs into our country like Trump asked you to do and tighten up the border. There would be no problem whatsoever at all, but you say you’re an honest person and you want to get along with everyone well, just stop the drugs from coming in in East Terrace won’t be on there. Trump hasn’t seen any easing up on that border over there and things would be back to normal so it’s it’s sad he had to do that but then your retaliating and what does it do it does nothing yes Canada is gonna suffer and we’re gonna suffer here in the United States all because of your stubbornness and hardness I’ve seen over the years how you text the hell out of your own Canadian citizens and that’s why they don’t like you there, but that has nothing to do with it so

NEVER BACK DOWN, CANADA!\n\n~Sincerely, an American who NEVER voted for the orange god king.

Liarliarliar trudeau you nevervdid f-al in canada till trump came along.you trudeau are the scumb at the border. Your terrorists are still in canada. And you thief WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK. NOW PLEASE READ TRUMP trudy is as corrupt as they come ?. He has admitted he hates canada and us canadians? He is crying to be cummunist like daddy castro. His momma told us about the real Dada congradulations trudy. Govto cuba

Canada and Europe should stay out of US politics, you backed a losing horse now you're reaping your reward

Trudeau is not weak like Trump. He is not a bully. Don't mess with Canada..we don't have big Army but...we will still not back down to a bully.

We the UK have got yr back Canada ??????

Ask yourself what happens when Americans can't get oil and gas from Canada? Are they going to use their own reserves.....no. But guess who else has oil and gas? Russia. Who bailed out Trump every time his businesses failed.....Russia. Trump has to pay back Russia for all the times they bailed him out. Watch and see if he tries to make a trade deal with Russia.

We know. You have to stand up to that traitor! We love Canada but it's only right that you fight back! You are our sisters and brothers and we want the Canadian people to flourish.We love you! ??♥️????\n\nTrump invented that excuse about the fentanyl in regards to Canada! That's not why he imposed the tariffs!\n\nP.S. He's not smart, just greedy and wiley.

As a lifelong Conservative, TRUMP is putting the Liberals back in Power here in Canada. Why ? Why ?

America has No Freinds,America has Interests.\nDon't back down Canada.

VIVE LE CANADA ?? We will never be your 51st State. We know this will hurt but we are tough, we are united and we will NOT back down.

Go Canada ? it's time yo fight back a bully

I’m sorry Canada. We have 77million people who voted for this moron. I just hope they see what they did and never vote for another Republican. We need strong honest people running our country. Not a bunch of faithful followers with no back bone. Can’t wait , we vote every two years . That’s when we will dismantle this cult. Hey democrats get out from under your rocks.

American here. Not all of us are with him. A lot of Americans did not want him. We don’t back trump. We are just as disgusted and find him just as abhorrent. He does not represent American values. I stand with Canada and Ukraine and all of the countries he pulled aid from. I’m sorry.

I hope Canada And Mexico doesn't back down. Fucking hate Trump. Lies after Lies and guess what people defend him. Not My president people say. You voted for a dictator that lies through his fucking teeth, hes not going to change. Yall really thought him getting shot was the wake up call? That was his call for him being able to do no wrong, then they say oh you'd rather have Kamala? yes..... Yes I would..... look at our country idiots.... Not saying she would've been much better, but her team at least had common sense, trumps is a bunch of Rich sore losers who cant do nothing wrong.

OH, NOW THE GOVERNOR OF CANADA HAS A LOT TO SAY. HOW ABOUT STARTING OFF WITH? I KNOW WE 0 300 MILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR TO AMERICA. LET'S START TRYING TO PAY THAT BACK AND GET BACK ON THE RIGHT TARIFF ROAD... THAT'S THE MOST I'VE HEARD THIS MAN TALK, OTHERWISE HE'S ALWAYS TALKING BLAH, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.TYPICAL LIBERAL

This American backs Canada 100%

We Canadians are suckers if we're giving billions more to Ukraine. Trudeau needs to go now. As for the tariff, I think we need to strike back hard, and continue the boycott of US goods. If we could, would be great do cut off all energy going to the States, but thanks to Trudeau, we don't have cross country pipelines to do that. BTW, Canada is not responsible for what comes into your country, we're responsible to keep things out we don't want in. That's the way these things are supposed to work, we're not East Berlin.

The reality is: the US has reached a record high trade deficit with Canada. This deficit has grown steadily since 1976 (today it is just shy of $100 billion - meaning the US purchases $100 billion more worth of goods from Canada than Canada does from the US). The US imposing tariffs on Canada is a tactic to incentivize US companies who import goods from Canada to move manufacturing/production sourcing back to American soil. This promotes investment and expansion into the US economy. It will also incentivize Canada to commit to investing in the US economy. This would be a negotiation move by Trudeau: we (Canada) will commit to purchasing $25 billion (for example) dollars more of goods from the US if you agree to reduce the tariffs you've imposed on us to blank (maybe 5%). This is likely the end goal Trump is aiming for in the long run.

When you turn your back on your friends, they make new friends. Canada will find new friends, and we will be stronger for it.

From NY. REAL Americans stand with our Canadian brothers and sisters. \n\nI love Canada and how it's always had our backs through thick and thin.

Good on you Canada!!! Never back down!

Satanic Evil Trump not a republican he stole this party like he stole the election you know that he's a convicted felon , he's a child molester with Jeffrey Epstein , the man that love grabbing women by the p---- , cult leader using religious to get these corrupted religious mega follower's to back him up and Putin's little puppet , humiliating and degrading our friend from Ukraine this list goes on with this American Traitor no more talking take our business to Europe . The America Justice system and Politicians represent the people, who make decisions have turn their backs on us and even their own people in the USA push to have Elon Musk Canadian birth right remove from our great country Canada . Elon not worthy to be even call a Canadian . Oh no we can't forget dear old JD Vance who speaks against gay right and he worn little girl clothes in high school and still today wear makeup around his eyes. And the mega Christian followers , call them leaders sent by God they better start reading their holy bible cause it all written in the holy book..

Thank you Canada, don't back down, go after trump

25%%-0% tariffs with the US gaining by 25% and Canada losing by 25% would have been ridiculous. Trudeau deserves many congratulations by hitting back with retaliatory 25% tariffs vs the US.

You mean exiting Prime Minister, that Canada doesn't want, that is why Prime Minister Trudeau is backing down and quitting from his own political fight. Don't forget Prime Minister Trudeau froze Canadian citizens bank accoiunts for protesting goverment Covid-19 vaccination manfates.

Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a press conference Tuesday. \n \nSpeaking from Ottawa, Trudeau said there was “absolutely no justification or need whatsoever” for the tariffs imposed by the US on Canada, which went into effect today. \n \nThe prime minister explained that $30 billion worth of US goods would see tariffs immediately, while the remaining $125 billion worth of goods would see tariffs in 21 days. \n \nTrudeau added that Canada will file claims at the World Trade Organization, but in the meantime, “our tariffs will remain in place until the US tariffs are withdrawn and not a moment sooner.” \n \nThe prime minister also again hit back against US assertions about Canada being unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl. \n \nHe said the legal pretext Trump presented for the justification of the tariffs —“that Canada is apparently unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl” — is “totally false.”

Shouldn’t border security be a mutual effort, while the states unequivocally blames Canada and Mexico for the problems within its own country,it’s always been a two way street, illegal crap filtering back and forth between borders, the states need to own just as much of the responsibility, obviously they haven’t been watching the borders either or there wouldn’t have been so many illegals getting into their country, it takes two to tango.??

All joking aside, Canada has been able to form a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit with the United States since even before NAFTA 1. But.......... right now it is almost like a 51st state and I do not mean that in a joking way. US states are always competing with each other, but what prevents things like, oh say the American Civil war from happening is the Federal apparatus keeps them in line for the good of the empire as a whole. \n\n If Canada is like a 51st state, then it is competing with the other 50 states in a way that all 50 of them are going to get upset about. So either the states complain, or you treat Canada as an economic competitor. Mexico being behind the United States and Canada is what makes it a good candidate for a symbiotic relationship. For all its problems, Mexico has a Christian population (with some indigenous traits) that goes well with America. Their nations different economic status means we can support them and they can support us doing different things for countries of different development stages.\n\nCanada being so similar to the United States will want that as well and will never outbid the United States. Again this is seen as a hostile economic competitor. \n\nIts not Canada or Americas fault. After 2007 and the lies about fanny and Freddie, leman bros, mortgage backed security's, and a cash shortage that was not real. How was it real if the offshore exchanges did nothing? 2007 was not financial in origin it was our global monetary system seizing up. To say Wall Street greed and MBSs did it would be like saying a single drop of cement turned the ocean to cement.\n\nBut something did. Something turned the market from liquid to concrete, it happened in France decades before......\nFinancially packaged items could no longer be priced or traded.

These are issues not unique to Canada. Most people here in Canada don't realize this. Housing is a huge issue, and needs to be fixed. But business investment into Canada is increasing. We won't see improvement overnight, but we are marching in the right direction. \nThe tariff threat is the only looming thing that can really hold us back. With a constant threat of massive tariffs, business investment will decrease.

Brain drain is definitely a big issue. I heard from someone that if you're a US citizen you are required to pay US taxes even if you don't live there and honestly I kind of wish Canada would do the same. If this country raised you and educated you and gave you all the opportunities you've had in your life thus far, you shouldn't get to just up and leave without paying anything back.

Canada will be taken by force. Whatever sacrifice we have to make will be paid back several times by the nation’s wealth of natural resources. Empires are back in style, and the whole third world is on the table, Canada included.

What do you mean by betrayal, you DESI? Indian students, if you don't like Canadian policies, please get out of ?. Immigration is a priviledge, not your birthright. Such tactics of getting immigration to Canada through back door and then slipping into USA has become very obvious, these days. S

good let them go back if they want to get their cultures here.. as it is i see stupid cultures in canada

Trump has no idea what he’s doing and it’s going to become clear. Miller is right, Canada won’t flinch, but there’s no going back and we now have to grow new alliances and make massive investments to insure our security.

Hey: I think you’ve seen me comment a lot here because I have my opinions and I really appreciate your blog.(is that what it’s called?). Anyway, I’m gonna tell you about my cancer story.\nTwo years ago at the age of about 53-54, I realize that I hadn’t had a mammogram in a long time because I’ve moved cities so I was on the list but in another city. So I decided I need to go get a mammogram. I contacted my GP and he gave me a referral within a couple of weeks. I had my mammogram. They didn’t like it within a week. They did it again. They didn’t like it. They decided to do an ultrasound. And still, they found areas that they were not happy with. So within another week, they did two biopsies. And they came back as cancer cells that had not gotten together yet to create a tumor. So it’s called stage zero cancer. Within two weeks I was in surgery where they took out everything they needed to and I was told that I have good margins. I then had six weeks of radiation. Five days a week for six weeks.\n\nSo about nine months after that and that healing, I had a referral to a plastic surgeon. She reduced my other breast so that I was even. That was about eight months ago. And this week I had a further reduction, call it a fine-tuning, to further ensure that I was even.\n\nThis was all done in Montreal Quebec Canada. \nI paid zero dollars, except a few times I may have paid six bucks for parking. \n\nI am cancer free. I’ve gone from a double D to a B, which you know is better than dying. I am so happy that I live here.

Take them right back to Canada. Just stop the bus.

Got bit by a spider and ended up septic. In hospital for two weeks five blood transfusions. Two knee replacements. Hernia surgery. One child and we stayed in hospital three nights because he had a few issues. Went to Detroit for a surgery that wasn’t approved in Canada but Canada paid me back every penny including hotel costs. Out of all of the above I paid zero!!!! I was actually grouchy for only one min cuz I had to pay 20 bucks for the crutches. lol love my country and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. Thank you Canada!!!!!

Canada is the worse place to live in. USA is doing the right thing to pull back industries and putting tariffs. Better to put aleast 50% tarrif on Canadian products.

Most illegal migrants spend thousands of dollars to commit the crime (entering any sovereign country illegally is simply an invasion). If they dare to enter China or any of the Arab countries this way, then who knows, they would be in heaven or hell rather than back home. All the deportees should be arrested on reaching back home for invading a foreign sovereign country and tarnishing the images of hundreds of millions of citizens of their countries who enter the USA or any other developed democratic country to study at the best of the universities, and after completion of the courses, they are not only provided the best of the jobs but also citizenship or other legal status to stay put in the countries. But these people reach their desired destination after going through rigorous educational and other processes and after a thorough background check. But in the matter of illegal immigrants, how are the victimized countries supposed to know their backgrounds? How can one be sure if they are not hardcore criminals, terrorists, spies, or even trained soldiers of enemy countries? In such uncertainty, how can the invaded countries be sure that an incident or incidents of such a large magnitude might not take place that, in comparison, the incident of 9/11 would look like the small incident of bursting firecrackers?But on one election promise, the president is, unfortunately, taking a complete U-turn that those students who do the master's and other higher studies should be retained and provided legal status to stay in the country as their contributions are needed to give the country the perpetual cutting edge in the highly competitive world and keep the country's status as number one. These scholars are feeling cheated that by spending huge amounts of money and contributing to the research and development during the studies, they have not only been taken for a ride but also become the main target of the deportation campaign as their status is available with the government. On the other hand, millions of undocumented workers are comparatively safe, as tracing and deporting them is not an easily achievable task. Besides, millions of foreign citizens are given entry into the country on flimsy grounds, and many of them do not even ever go to elementary school. I think even God would not be able to make out what the fuck this country has become on this issue. Almost the same is the situation with most of the EU countries, the UK, Australia, and Canada.

This is disgusting. You don’t treat your delivery person like that. Cannot believe this happened in Canada. The guy kept his patience very nicely, I mean anyone could have cursed back right ?

You need to put ICE in the bus stations pick them up and put them right back on a bus back to Canada!

Why isn’t Canada housing and providing for these people monetarily rather than allow them to be ponded off onto America?\nWe reject these people coming into the country and give them back to Canada
