Canada’s economy is already weakened by Treudeau’s and the entire liberal party’s mistakes and now this ? I don’t think we can survive! I think trump is on his way to annex canada through weakening our economy…

Trudeau needs to do better to keep the fentanyl from coming to America.. I don’t feel sorry for Canada one bit. I lost my daughter to fentanyl so I myself would like some retribution… so him up there preaching like he’s holier than thou is laughable… more fentanyl is coming over the Canadian border than the actual southern border… and that’s after they already had this agreement to stop the fentanyl flow..

This is an act of WAR! Canada already had high Tarrifs against the USA. Trump only evened the playing field. Let’s go!!

I think it was Margaret Thatcher during the Reagan administration the one who said, Americans are notorious about choosing stupid presidents. So, what to say about that? What I've heard from some of my friends is that they don't care if democracy is gone as long as their taxes go down. They want a lower income tax bracket. They're very single minded about issues. We'll see how we fair once you have to pay more at the pump, when the price of electronics go up, when produce and beef, pork, and chicken become unaffordable. Yes, the middle and upper middle class probably don't care, but the lower classes and the already poor are not going to be happy. Once people are hungry, then you'll see people on the street. Once the farmers start losing their farms and small businesses start losing their investments, you'll see people on the streets. Americans are not hungry enough yet. Just wait.

we already stockpiled your goods. Don't threaten us with terrifs

Ukraine 3 years of USA money and artillery to fight a war that impossible to win with his country flattened his people killed soldiers women and children that European country's have sat back an watched waffing what the USA should do \nIreland own people living on the streets with 100.000 Ukraines taking up housing with able body men here that's suppose to to be soldiers living it up here \nEurope are sitting back prompting him what he needs in guarantees from the USA \nHow many more must die for him , Crazy while he spoofs from country to country for arms and money with billions already wasted \nTrump is correct, to stop funding a war , its peace he wants people need cop on \nFunding more money to maim and kill will not make peace

As an American living abroad, it’s embarrassing to see my home country picking unnecessary fights with one of its closest allies. Slapping 25% tariffs on Canada—a country that has stood by the U.S. through wars, trade deals, and countless crises—isn’t just aggressive, it’s downright stupid. My family back home is already dealing with rising costs, and this kind of reckless economic policy only makes things worse. Tariffs aren’t paid by foreign countries; they’re paid by American consumers. Trump bragging about ‘punishing’ Canada is like punching your best friend in the face and then wondering why your hand hurts. Short-sighted, unnecessary, and ultimately self-destructive.

Just resign already. Your not pm anymore in my eyes. Get Pierre in their to fix what you broke

Yea, I mean.. nevermind that Trudeau has already ran Canada's economy into the ground, all by himself.

Canada already had tariffs on our imports. Thats why Trump implemented tariffs

Mitch and Rand are shaking in their Glencairn and balloon snifters over this...but do not have the testicles to object to *RUMPS tariffs. Liquor sales and production are already down nationwide in the US, especially for bourbon...and they cannot afford to lose the business. Kentucky distilled spirits exports to Canada is an $89 million business. Gently inhale from your glasses, Senator's...Canada is going to give you a sniff or what's to come for your industry

Well done, Mr.Prime Minister. We Canadians are very proud of the work you and your team have already done. We will do this together!??

Automotive is already talking of moving to the States . No automotive left in canada .

One asterisk I'll put on the housing element and immigration:\n\nThe immigration probably would have been fine, but we made the inexplicable decision to place those huge numbers into the already hottest markets - the cities. We probably could have survived that rush better had we spread them into our less populous areas like the prairies, northern territories or smaller towns.

I keep waiting for people to grasp what Trump is actually doing, but everybody keeps following the bouncing ball.\n\nTrump only cares about getting richer and getting away with it. \n\nFacts: Dismantle government agencies who can oppose his crimes\n\nFire employees who can stop him from his crimes\n\nMisdirecting to continue his crimes.\n\nDistancing the U.S. from NATO Allie’s and siding with China, North Korea, and Russia.\n\nTariffs to tank the stock market, making predictable decline in stocks for massive profit from buying PUT options.\n\nWanting to remove any oversight in his or Elon’s (his tech genius) actions.\n\nHe literally stated he wanted to “look at Fort Knox to account for any gold missing. (He will fire those in charge to allow whoever to go in WITHOUT oversight to steal gold. Then state yep, there was missing gold, go see for yourself.\n\nHe already had Elon dipping into our treasury.\n\nHe got rid of the employees / agencies that oversee election security. Why? To keep eyes off of screwing people out of fair and equal future elections. Guarantee he will change the constitution with his majority party and executive order to throw out 2 term rule. This way he can stay in power and avoid ever facing sentencing for his crimes.\n\nI can keep going on, bottom line, Trump is a traitor to America and what do we do with those who commit treason? Figure it out.

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.

Unfortunately, in this speech, all J. Trudeau has shown is that Canada can be forced to implement irrational and costly programs (fentanyl/border security) while otherwise listing off every reason the United States has for annexing Canada. Canadian vulnerability is on full display and there are going to be plenty of famous ex-pats and wealthy citizens, who are already silent, and will soon be quietly, then vocally, supporting it. The Trump administration doesn't think Canada is a legitimate country and unlike Mexico, they feel it can absorb its demographic easily. This is how Anschluss works.

anyone that doesnt think shit gets worse before it gets better is delusional. weve kicked the can down the road for decades and now were at a breaking point. Tarrifs are mad toi bring companies back to america making our country more self sufficient and not so reliant on everyone else which will strenghten us. TSMC has already made a deal to start manufacturing chips here which control everything we know and china could stop that at any moment. Honda is coming here as well. All in all almost one trillion has been committed to invest in the us and this is a huge win for the long run. Alot of these countries have had tarriffs on us for ages and the people speaking out against it is because its hurting their pockets. The long run this is mandatory and we should have never let manufacturing go in the first place.

He's a liar trump already said he wants peace he's not with Putin

Like always …just follow the money…which will bring you to the players pulling the Trump puppets strings and they could care less about the average American, Canadian, Mexican or any other citizen. They are already making huge profits from this decision and if it changes in a month they will make huge profits from that as well.

Again, shame that the people who need to hear this the most have already plugged their ears.

Resign already

Go Trump GO ... The company's are already coming back home and even some that never where here are coming to the U.S . Soon there will be more then enough work for the American people . Its time for this country to work for the American people instead of worring about the rest of the world . We have plenty to take care of right here at home first

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.

It’s very sad to see what is happening in the us. Thousands of jobs gone already, trade wars will cost who knows how many more. Musk as Trumps right hand man, the guy who wants to have 500,000 robots by 2027. No connection I am sure!!!

We want a friggin election all Canadians want you and your cabinet in jail Justin you bunch of crooks you ripped off Canada and US call an election already

Hilariously the Canadian economy was already on the brink usa will annex canada in no time

Im honestly scared. I'm already struggling like a lot of Americans. I don't know what's gonna happen.

CANADA ELECTION NOW!!!\nThis fraud already quit his job and shut down parliament!!!

Resign already

The U.S. already replaced Canada, Canada should move on too

Canadians don't want this twit, dealing with the United States one bit. He's already resigned, he is hated.

Thank you Canada trump don’t care about the American people but you fighting back is the only way to oust trump and we are already suffering from his behavior. Thank you for supporting President Zelenskyy he loves his people and their country. God bless you your country has a great prime minister

Funny how none of these actions were being taken before Trump went crazy slapping charges on these countries. I’m not for the heavy handed view Trump seems to be taking, but I’ll NEVER, NEVER, EVER crap where I sleep. It’s shameful to think this country is filled with so many weak treasonous cowards. \n\nCanada took advantage of Biden just like Mexico did, so this “we’re innocent” stuff won’t play. A lot of your fellow Americans have died and the mainstream media has you believing we’ve not already been at war… wake up!

How is this guy still talking? Jesus Christ, get him out already!

He left out how Canada was already charging the United States 300% tariffs… So did CNN… go figure… Enjoy getting wrecked Canada ?

The Canadian Liquor Board website is already down while it's removing all Kentucky bourbon and American liquor off the web portal.

If trump has ambitious it gonna be devastation, im sure trump lately has saw for the first time the global map and realise what can the mighty force annexe, he start already thinking like dictator.

lol. What a loser your own country hates you and now your screwing up the country more. Also Canada already charges the USA tariffs long before this came up.

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.

We need to get rid of you already!

I'm Canadian and this idiot is NOT my Prime Minister, the door is already closing on him and he should NOT be speaking for my country!!

This was an impressive speech and chilling to the bone. People should understand the undertone that this already is the first stage of a war. America is not talking friendly anymore to Europe or Canada, the alliance is questionable now at best, treaties don't matter anymore and the US government openly supports and defends totalitarian regimes like in Russia. It's a dangerous path that has a point of no return somewhere along the way. It is absolutely the time to be very worried and alert.

Denmark Will buy more Goods from Canada- and have already banned products from USA. Tesla banned, travel to USA - banned Coca Cola, Kelloggs , Heinz, Oreo, Jack Daniels , Trump - all banned

The border is just a smoke screen. Trump wants to cripple your economy so that he can move in and make you the 51st State of America. He is a dictator who, like his hero Putin, wants to build empires.\nI'm in Europe. I've already stopped buying anything American and if you export to us in Europe, I will buy Canadian.

It’s funny how everyone thinks it’s one sided but Canada already has 25% tariffs against us, we’re literally just matching them.

It’s reciprocal tariffs and they already have a 25% tariff on American goods. You can search this up

I like how Mexico is not talking everyone saying these tariffs are not gonna work. Mexico already sent 10k more troops to the border so this stops some of the smuggling and immigration already. Its doing something just because people up north are mad doesn't mean its not going to work in the south..

Trudeau has been already removed from PMship of Canada, loser..

Why is fool still representing CANADA \n....go away already you leftist failure
