America is ready! Bring it! MAGA.. we know how china, is using Canada and Mexico to bring in goods while we can’t sell our own goods in other country’s. Canada is chinas friend

I sure wish we had a leader like canada. We have a mentally unfit old man in charge of our country. So happy canada is not backing down to the bully donald. I wish i could go live in canada untill the imature child 4 yrs. Is past. So sorry to you canada for what this immature bully is doing. So sorry for a convicted felon, sexual predator, has done to the countries.

It’s time for Canada to join the EU . Becoming a member is almost done anyway as we share so much more with them than the Fragmented States of America. The cheapening of “ America” is tragic to watch. Your White House has never been so gaudy.

I should move to Canada

I as Canadian stand with Canada & Canadian Government. All points raised are Valid.\n USA imposed sudden & thoughtless changes in Trade.

He's just mad because he \nIs getting less money doesn't give a s about canada

What we are all experiencing right now is unbearable. Canada is a role model and it is good to hear this speech. I hope that not all Americans are enthusiastic about their president's machinations and will publicly show their protest on the streets.

Come on Canada!!!

As an American I support Canada, Ukraine, Russia, Europe, china, Mexico the USA and the whole world. Oops that doesn’t fit any narrative, oh well.

Canada was already charging the United States terrifs. But the United States wasn't charging Canada terrifs

Canada should instantly remove all discounts. Canada should sell their oil to Europe instead.

Picking a trade war with Canada, Mexico, China and major economics is a very bad idea. It will not bring anybody to the negotiation table to get a better deal. It will drive them away from US partnership and they form alliances, new trade routes and partnerships, de-dollarization, etc. Just think why does a country needs USD when they cannot trade with US. BRICS have overtaken G7 in the overall GDP. So, In the end, US will be left alone with limited trading partners. US people will need to pay for tax + tariffs which will put them in a downward spiral.

I agree with Canada in every statement said here. It’s sad that Americans have allowed themselves to be manipulated by one man. As an American I say to Canada and Mexico, do what you need. We don’t see this as an attack on us, but as a response to an attack by Trump on your countries. I used to wonder how Hitler was able to convince so many to follow him. We have seen exactly the same behavior by Americans, today, who follow Trump. It’s sad, and it’s disgusting.

I am Canadian, and I want to speak to the USA, as a concerned citizen who valued the relationship that we once had between our two countries: please realize that we do NOT want to declare this as any form of “attack”, that these are solely defensive measures against your current administration’s lack of respect towards us as a people and as a country. \n\nPlease rest assured that we KNOW that not all of you voted for Trump, that there are those of you who realize what your current president is truly doing and do not support it. This is NOT about fentanyl. This NOT about money and how much each country was giving whom. We had a respectable trade deal that we were following, previously signed by Trump. We have always had a positive relationship together, business-wise and friendship-wise. Please also realize that, once your administration is no longer in control of our narratives in such a destructive manner, or it gets replaced by one that reverses this destructive policy, we will definitely reconsider our former relationship and we will work towards rebuilding it. \n\nIt is unfortunate for both sides here. We are aware of that. But “Canada Strong” is our way to remain forever a sovereign and free nation. Nothing more, nothing less. Always remember that.

As an American, I stand with Canada against this terrible and stupid trade war.\nTrump is destroying the fabric of our traditional allies and institutions in favor of the extreme autocracy in Russia.

Whom did these dumb and dumber punish when they introduces the 25% tariff? The customers, in both the USA and Canada. The seniors on fixed minimum income that we cannot effort buying fresh food coming from the USA.

Canada’s economy will tank than we will make them our 51st great idea trump you should ask what would you like for us to do president Trump. We fund your military and your economy. Your ass is ours

Canada I am sorry, you don’t deserve this by us and I’m embarrassed by this Cheeto in office. ❤

You've got this Canada. Work with Australia & Britain. We're there for you too!

Good job Canada ????

Canada wants to be back with USA but Trump needs to go

Dear Canada... PLEASE ADOPT MEEEEEEEE ????

Great Job Canada!! Unfortunately, he is too stubborn to listen.

Not to many people drink USA liquor in Canada mostly coffee

Stay Strong Canada. Greetings from Austria.Europe and Canada need to stay together?

I am a Washingtonian and support I support Canada and Trudeau 100% Canada and Trudeau 100%.

Canada will come begging to Trump wait and see ???

Thank you for representing Canada so strongly and eloquently. ??

I'm so sorry Canada I think you guys are great

To the people of Canada. We love you, and understand why you are doing this. I feel like an abused animal in a cage. I am terrified!

how safe it would be for canada to become state 51!! they should be honoured!!

Support Canada against these attacks from the Trump administration.

Trudeau you broke Canada, also not only Fyntenal but a 200 Billion$$$ Deficit between United states and Canada that you are freaked out your going to loose.

Think about this more goods come out of Canada and into the USA vs Canada. And it’s the same speech as last time.

As an American I want to apologize and encourage Canada to stay strong. Remember there are millions of us here in America that do not want this either and want nothing more than for this to all be a bad dream.

He was so pissed off, everyone on that screen was pissed off. Someone hold that woman back!?Go Canada!

Don't buy Ford, Chevrolet, Ram, Teslas, and iPhones. Canadians, we are united. Buy other Japanese and European brands. Toyota produces Camry in Japan too; send that version to Canada to avoid tariffs.

If you acted as a leader of Canada, instead of focusing on destroying Canada's economy, and you allowing millions of illegal immigrants so they can vote for you, none of this would have happened. You better find the way to work it out with Trump because Canada has a lot more to loose.

It's time for Canada and the EU to expand trade and cooperation.

??America loves you Canada our president doesn’t reflect our entire country and what we stand on AMERICA STANDS FOR CANADIANS ??

Smart people will be moving to places like Canada.

will canada help fund ukraine How Canada plans to use Russian cash to help fund Ukraine’s war effort

Looks to me like the tariffs have worked - Canada has started to cooperate

Go Canada ?

So proud of you speaking the truth\nI hope Canada , Canadian not upset with the people of our country so called America, we ,the people, American, real country loving Americans, love your country, love, peace, love working together, love safe society, love good education, love affordable healthcare, just like yours, love to see happiness and peaceful in the world. \n\nUnfortunately , we have been trusting the wrong leaders for past decades, more and more damage done to our own lives because of the lying, corrupt government, misguided policies, manipulation, incompetence, corruption, corruption, and more corruption.\nThe people whom we elect, are the ones that stealing from us .\n\nUnless the people wake up, we are misguided to no end.\nWe have no one to blame but ourselves.

As a citizen of the USA I stand with Canada.

Washingtonian of 64 years here. I stand with you Canada from my blue state. I am so embarrassed right now to be an American. ?

So the American government protects Canada with our military and cost the American tax paying people billions of dollars to protect this country that we get nothing in return for our protection. You send more product to America, then you take from America.\n But yet America is the bad guy in this, it seems to me. That Canadians. to step up in all of these point and maybe America would not have to put tariffs to help us as taxpaying citizens have a lower tax Is four tax paying citizens because. Our taxes go to help protect the canadian people

I support and stand with Canada!! ??

The world respects Canada and this Scot is disgusted with Mr Trump's antics.
