Thank you Canada

Oh, these comments are just hilarious.\nI've not seen one comment in disagreement of the speech you just made. What happened to all of them? Someone sorted and took them all down to pretend like every single person that commented was standing behind Canada. Hilarious. Of course we know this will be tough. You do what you have to do and USA will do what USA has to do. As a US citizen I have NEVER felt welcome crossing your border legally to visit while on vacation. You Trudeau are a joke.

An other FACT ; don' t get FOOLED !!! : Liberals parti was about to LOOSE the Governance of Canada... BUT this "WAR" again President Trump was what the LIBERALS WANT !!!! Because now some stupids peoples have started to think the LIBERALS are now our "SAVIOR"... Witch is the VERY OPPOSITE of the TRUTH ... Justin Trudeau have to go HOME ...

GO Canada. GO China. GO Mexico. Bring America to its knees. Let Trump know that you will not be bullied. Let Americans freeze, starve, and crawl in the streets. We don't want Trump. He is destroying our country. Biden was bad, but Trump is awful.

If I was the President of the United States I would give what voters want cut off Canada.

Let’s not forget all Trump asked Canada to do was to secure the US/Canadian boarder.

Trudeau is extremely impressive in government actions and in communicating as simply as possible to the people of USA, to explain what is happening and to implore that they pressurise their rotten Trump government. This is an attack on a very friendly government with 25% tariffs on everything but just 10% on China?? This is an attack to try to destabilise Canada to help in taking the country over. It won't work and everyone will suffer or lose.

its like americans forget canada are the reason for the geneava convention...

I am so proud of Mr. TRUDEAU, I am an American and retired veteran and so sick of our Administration doing this to Canada and Mexico. I served with some great Canadians from NATO BACK IN 1998-2000. IT’s so sad to see this happening today.

Since we here in the USA created this mess and can't seem to deal with the orange buffoon and his narcissistic nonsense, I think it is up to Canada and Mexico and Europe to try reigning him in somehow. I don't think they can succeed, but we can hope. We're barely 6 weeks into this. It's going to be a long 4 years.

Full support to canadian people but not these 3 jokers. what trump is doing is not good, even india is not acting like this when bangladesh is operating like a rabid dog, however what real canadians should understand is that their country's current situation is because of this 3 jokers. Canada should appoint leaders that has atleast some basic understanding of geopolitics. Look at india right after meeting trump last week it has signed several deals with the EU, and even finalizing FTA with it by the end of this year. There was suppose to be a FTA with canada aswell but these jokers supported criminal illegals from india which india wanted back to face justice but these jokers defended those guys and even threatened indian diplomats, so even now you guys have time, exercise your democratic power and throw these three boogers and illegals out of your county. And plese don't overuse marijuana before the election day because its a very important day for you guys.. you guys need to be atleast 60% concious when you cast your vote, because i fear some of you might vote the wrong person After that enjoy your weed as much as you like. BEST of luck my canadian friends?

Trudeau should have been proactive in the first place. Canada had put tarriff on other countries in the first place. They even did not sell our oil in the first place when saying no business case. Just to please his socialist minister. When trump was not in power this man went at trump the entire trump. \n\nTrudeau is lying to his teeth. \n\nThe fentynal crisis in canada is alot more worse \n\nFew months ago the had the biggest drug bust in Canadian history which could kill the entire Canadian population.\n\n\nI dont trust trudeau at all.

Nothing but respect for Canada

Retired south Florida resident who voted against Trump and cohorts. I stand with Canada ??❤ and every country who is supporting Ukraine ?? and President Zelenskyy.

Kudos to you Canada. I didn't vote for tRump's unhinged, dumb @$$. I'm embarrassed!

As a Californian, I'm hoping Canada will beef up their tariffs on the red states that voted for this idiot in the White House. What a shame.

From Denmark; When your country imports 20% of the country's electricity consumption, 50% of the country's oil consumption, and 90% of the country's gas consumption from Canada, then it is quite unintelligent to start a trade war with Canada.

This is a government that doesn’t need to makeup invisible enemies the way maga does ?. Good on you Canada for fighting back tyranny!

Tanks on railroad cars heading to Canada border

Trudeau is either a liar or he doesn’t have a clue about what is going on in Canada.\nThe borders we share with the United States are far from the fortress of security that he purports them to be. If they were indeed as impenetrable as he asserts, we would not be witnessing a continuous influx of illegal firearms—responsible for a staggering 99.9% of gun-related crimes here in Canada—crossing over from our southern neighbor. Yet, these illicit weapons are making their way into our communities, alongside a troubling wave of unauthorized entries into our country.

This shit will hurt Canada more than the USA

We don't need Canada

I support Canada from Cape Town south Africa ❤

Once a blessing, now a curse. Who wants the Americans on their side these days? Putin suffers from the same problem as Canada and the EU are: Every 4 years America's policy can radically turn against you.

This is a pretext to invade Canada. Your border had better be more than safe. Fentanyl is a subterfuge, Trump wants your land to then have access to your resources and the Arctic. Trump and Putin have an agreement, and Canada and Greenland are not a part of it. You are a pawn to be taken to achieve those aims.

As an American I apologize to Canada we have no wish to betray you we are being betrayed from the inside!

LOL...\n\nIn Canada... we have someone translate the French part.. He may be saying something new in the French part. \n\nYou guys can't afford a translator? Lol. The recessions already hit!

We in UK are with Canada! We also love the US!! Please sort it out soon guys! The world is watching and so is President Putin!

From the Netherlands: I honestly admire the strong stance of Canada and have always felt their ethics and kindness are wonderful. I hope Europe and Canada can find new ways of trade and unity among this chaos.

Before Trudeau starts acting the fool he should get himself a globe or a good map, and he will notice that the ONLY thing that is separating Canada from Russia is Alaskan !!! He needs to pray for wisdom from our Loving God !!!

100% truth by Canada and Trudeau! Trudeau translation—Smart Guy = Smart Con Artist.

Great speech from the president from Canada. This is the kind of president the USA should have. I stand with Canada. TRUMP has ruined our country.

All Americans 99% support Europeans allies ,only one person in White House “to make decisions dumb” I am with you Canada ❤❤❤ T and JD destroyed Democracy

Hey Canada I’m a highly skilled laborer and I want out of the US. Can I please move up there?

American army attack on Canada ? you run and go France ?

The USA president Trump wants everything to be manufactured and sourced locally from the United States of America. He knows what happened during COVID-19 and what problems the world experienced because of a global supply chain. Now while it doesn't really make sense with Canada who is right next door the Canadians were given the opportunity to integrate into the USA so there could be some motive in that. And why wouldn't they want that anyway? Just remove the Canadian border and everyone becomes the USA. Why not?

No one in Canada wants this man in Canadas office \n\nI back Donald 1000000%

CANADA HAS A TRUE, TRUTHFUL LEADER...NOT PUTINS PLAY THING ???????????

As an American, I apologize for all this, God Bless Canada!

Other leaders watching need to know you can't fake influence. Canada is standing on business.

How the American people vote and elect a Guy like Trump ?? Unbelievable..\nWell done Canada !!

Can I immigrate to Canada for asylum purposes from the U.S

Trump's Import Tariffs Are To Combat a Non-Existing Problem \n \nThe import tariffs that US President Donald Trump has imposed on Mexico, Canada and China are meant to combat a non-existent problem, economics editor Jonathan Witteman recently analysed. Trump sees the structural trade deficit (the difference between the export and import of goods and services) that the United States has with almost all of its trading partners as a sign of weakness. Contrary to almost all political left-wing and also right-wing economists, he believes that a trade deficit is bad for a country's economy and believes that the US is being cheated by countries that export more to the US than they import. \n \n'I have said that the EU must make up for its enormous deficit with the US by purchasing our oil and gas on a large scale. If not, punitive tariffs will follow', Trump said last December, for example, about the trade balance between the US and the European Union. \n \nA connection between a bad economy and having a trade deficit cannot be found, political economy professor Andres Freytag concludes in the analysis. There are many countries in the world, such as Germany, with a trade surplus but a poorly performing economy. The opposite is more likely to be true: in countries with a trade surplus, more people are unemployed. This was shown by the Peterson Institute. \n \nTrump's tariffs are more dangerous for the economy, because they reduce imports and exports, partly because other countries in turn impose punitive tariffs in response. Trump's announced import tariffs during his first term even led to a larger trade deficit and to 7.2 billion dollars in welfare losses in the US.

It's going to hurt, blame The vulgar psychopath felon in the white house.. I don't blame Canada, I support them

So are we pretending that Canada hasn't already had enormous tariffs on American goods?

Good for Canada.
