No worries Canada ?...we know Trump is Hell Bent power hungry 4 worldwide Domination

We believe you, we know trump is a liar, a felon, a criminal.

Awesome speech by Tredeau, and im not a Trudeau at all. Best speech I've heard in a long while.\nAmerica got duped by Russia.... trump is on russia's side... a long time enemy. No one remembers russians as the bad guys? I do.\n They will brain wash USA for pro russian propaganda. Canada is also russias enemy.... russias knows this so they get trump in to attack canada so russia has better influence in the arctic with USA's backing.

American people do not have no saying in anything President Trump is blocking everything from us. Elon Musk is blocking everything from us so we do not have a saying or anything. We don’t even know what to do now.

I don't like Trudeau much but he can speak like a politician and what he says sounds like common sense. And then we got Trump, a six year old angry baby elephant and his sidekick JD Robin, the couch lover and ass licker, scamming and bullying basically everyone except Putler. Talk about a pathetic narcissist psychopath, and the hillbillies who voted for him should go join Russia on the frontline. I know they're too fat and they would shoot in the wrong direction but the Russians are on the same level

I would like to know if there is still Americans who believe that Trump is doing a good job in the office?

I’m so embarrassed of my country, the USA, right now. We want you to know many of us do not support Trump!

Thank you Mr. Trudeau for your comments. As an American, I am ashamed of Americans that follow Trump. Its all him. Anyone with a brain knows the people will suffer high prices. Its not what Americans want.

Shut up baby girl world need to be free from such tumors like you and i support president trump he know what he is doing Americans are very blessed people that they have got president like Donald trump and respective administration

The Russians meddled in the election of trump and he knows it. He owes the Russians, and they have made that perfectly clear. Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. He has no allegiance to the US or our Constitution, just the russians.

The antiChrist that is Donald J. Trump has the objective of wreaking havoc and chaos all around so you Americans aren't going to know are coming or going. That's the only way he has power and domination over you. That's the truth, and you know it! You should get rid of him before he totally destroys the country.

I am so hurt for what Trump is doing to us. I know it’s not all the Americans. Peace with you my friends ✌???

So, why is it that this guy makes it seem like they haven't been taken advantage of the U.S. since they have been able to! He is also lying about that northern border, too. Russians have been illegally crossing into the U.S. thru Canada for years. I know it as fact bcuz I've met Russian truckers who told me how they originally came to the U.S. via Canada! It's easier up there bcuz that border isn't as secure as the southern border. I guarantee you their statistics for fentynal crossing in via Canada is wrong. Those are just the statistics for the fentynal they caught, not the shit they haven't caught! Tariffs shouldn't have had to be the reason for Canada to do their job. They should have already been doing their job at that border. Trump had to threaten them in order for them to use drones, etc. at the border. They should have been doing that. This shows that they were already taking advantage of the weak ass government who just left office. Maybe he should just become the 51st state to make it all much simpler!

I’m still lost at how Trump supporters rationalize this mess… like for the self proclaimed “patriots” they really know how to spit on the constitution, the sacrifices of our ancestors during the revolution all the way through the Cold War. Trump is literally alienating us in 4k from allies and slipping into Russia’s pocket. Because he wants to be a dictator, and doesn’t give a damn about America or what it stands for. His family hasn’t even been here very long in all honesty, maybe that’s why he’ll sell us out to Russia. Saying otherwise means you live in a land of delusion where facts don’t exist. FYI, ignorance won’t save anyone

I know many americans voted for trump but this action is trump voting against the american people. I mean do you guys really think Putin is a 'good' guy? You guys have to get trump out of there he wants to destroy america.

To this man I say BRAVO BRAVO. GO FOR IT, DONALD DOESN'T RESPECT YOU OR YOUR COUNTRY DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW ANY RESPECT TO A CRIMINAL FELON SEXUAL ASSULTER GREEDY, SELFISH, POWER DRIVEN EGOMANIAC LUNITIC on a revenge tour to hurt America for the crybaby because we didn't vote for him in 2020, very much a applied demented orange poor loser. . THIS so called president trump, and the real PRESIDENT MUSKrat ARE DISRECPECTFUL hate filled idiots that put gold before humans. GO FOR IT, FIGHT BACK AND LET TRUMP KNOW YOU ARE STRONG AND ACTUALLY HAVE A MAJORITY BACKING BY THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES something Donald doesn't have and never did. Donald didn't even get half the votes after 8 years campaigning and all the muskrat money. We respect you and have no respect for maga. GO CANADA.

about drugs and illegal immigrants are clean, i am trust treadeu and i know he have matter house prices in his country. But he must be explained the subsidies that Trump said Canada received in very clean, its true or not. If true why canada not invest back to USA make fair economic as purpose make a trade balance both two country. In fact many factory moved from the usa to canada and USA trade deficit with Canada. SO dumb

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.

Trump also wants to defend American workers if he imposes these tariffs he knows what he's doing

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

I wonder how fox fakenews will make Trump look like the hero with this. I don't wanna see it but I know they'll try?\nGreetings from UK

As a US veteran, I have no idea why trump is making these ridiculous decisions. Our country is being lead by blind, ignorant and arrogant people.\nPlease know the majority of Americans do not support this stupidity.\nI love Canadians and always have, Trump will never destroy the friendships made there.

Excellent speech!! Proud to be Canadian ... a citizen of a country who truly respects humanity and world peace.?? I lived in the U.S. for two decades and know first-hand that many wonderful Americans do not share the disrespectful and dangerous rhetoric of Donald Trump and gang. We are better together than divided!! Stand up! Speak up! ❤️????❤

We all know it was never about DRUGS and Illegal immigrants anyone with a brain should know it was always about the MONEY, ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY. Trump should of just told them honestly, no more FREE period instead of making these countries put resources at the border. Trump play a game to get 2 for 1 by making them secure the borders and making them pay tariffs all at the cost of the American people if Americans do stuffer. But I do again with the tariffs everyone should pay considering that all the factories run to these foreign countries for cheaper labor, and Americans are your biggest buyers. Any country who wants FREE should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe Canada should be free US and Canada had a good relationship. But Mexico and China NOT at all.

I don't think Donald Trump borrowed a shitload of money from the bank and isn't paying the bank like Justin says the deficit will pay for itself I don't know what idiot thinks that but he does he's the reason why we're in trouble if he didn't have this country so screwed up we'd have something to fight with.

Trump doesn't know what he's doing...he goes off on his emotions. He likes to act tough knowing full well that he's not. He's Putin's puppet...he worships Putin and Putin is just laughing at him.

I don’t know but anyone else feels like Trump is deliberately crashing the American economy, as if it’s all part of a plan

CNN, stop spreading nonsense, everyone knows that Trump does not care about border crossings and fentanyl otherwise he would work WITH Mexico/Canada. This is about him doing Russia’s bidding so we they have the climate for favorable business dealings with the USA. It is all for Mother Russia!!

We don’t believe you! Trudeau! Trump knows what he is doing ?

I hope you Canadians know that WE, the sane citizens of the United States, do NOT agree with what Trump has started. We don't even want him here!\n\nUnfortunately, there are a lot of racists in our country who have learned to blame other groups of people for the failures of the very party they vote for. \n\nI say, FIGHT BACK! Don't allow the Dictator Orange Man to bully y'all. However, this affects us, we'll have to deal with it, and the ONLY person to blame will be Trump! \n\nLong live, Canada! -Signed, A Black American Woman (who did not vote for that literal clown)

I just want to know what Putin has on Trump? I smell FISH and I will not be proud to be an American until we get rid of this shameful administration.

The Dem let Trump win they know how muchhe would fuck up these is a jock

Like Trudeau, perhaps Trump will impress the world (after all he is a genius you know) by speaking in French and Spanish BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH.

From America, the world really acts like we owe them something.\n\nWe get called imperialists when we help, cowards and weaklings when we don’t, we get reprimanded and shit on about how we should get our nose out of everyone’s business. The rest of the world seems to have a hate boner for the US yet can’t even be bothered to figure out how to not start new world wars, can’t even be bothered to take in and handle their own refugees, can’t even be bothered to help your own people.\n\nWe The People are growing real tired of our treatment on the world stage. Furthermore, we have our own issues. We have to focus on our own country and people, because as it stands many of us are struggling to figure out how to pay rent without picking up 2nd jobs or side hussle’s. Please understand this, we voted for Donald Trump. Flaws and all. He didn’t cheat or steal his way in. He isn’t a threat to democracy, or the stability of Europe. He’s and American president for America and if any non Americans wanna take issue with that. Then come get your citizenship and vote for it, but until then, stop crying about what America is doing and focus on your own country. Who knows, if you do your own country might actually be notable enough for you to understand my frustrations :)

Trump knows Putin put the nuclear trigger on his own life

As a life-long Ameri an citizen, I 100% stand with Canada. \nThe idiots that voted for Trump,your orange messiah, I really hope you go broke and homeless because you're just as guilty as he is. So be proud because you voted him into office knowing how his first term was and that he is a 34 time CONVICTED felon. And YOU voted this back into office. You worship Trump like he is your messiah ,your god,your idol so when WW3 is declared against America and his little friend Putin will all be a trap to have Trump assassinated, I hope you stand around and claim this on your shoulders then because again, YOU have done this.

Much support to Canada. I hope our president also stands up against racist imperialist Trump. We know that Donald does not represent the majority of American. Let's stand together against Donald and his billionaire friends ??????

Dear Canadians, \nIt will be extremely painful but I know, without a doubt, that you will NOT bend the knee to trump nor putin. \nYou will overcome and come out stronger without the whims of the United States minority rule where white Americans control the lives and futures of the rest and the cowardice of the republicans that kiss their leader's feet for fear of being primaried by his billionaire master. \nI look forward to seeing you on the other side stronger, prouder, and more independent than you have ever been.\nMy full respect and admiration go to each of you❤\nGodspeed Canada

It says okay this is what the American people voted for we stand with Trump we know in the long run it'll work out fair trade that's all we want fair trade not one-sided we're tired of getting screwed the taxpayer

Come on... We know why Trump targeted Canada. Its because he was upset when Justin Trudeau was caught on a hot mic back in 2019 in London when he was talking about Trump's press conference. Trump is a child who likes to get his payback for people who he believes wrong'd him.

Yo Trump, Canadians are wild, bro. They may be polite and all but not in a fight. They know how to fight dirty… like really dirty. Buckle up American! Ol’ boy Trump gonna get us in a big mess.

Most of us know not to believe what Trump says about these tariffs (or anything else). He is a scourge to the world. As a US citizen am beyond disgusted that he was able to gain enough votes.?

How Trudeau stands there with his head bombers lying to the world, he thinks we don't know about what he is trying to do to us, just go away and leave our country alone now he helps Ukraine destroy there country under the NWO right under there noses, everyone should beware of Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney, he tries to make it look like Donad Trump is our enemy knowing it is him himself who plotted against Canada

As an American - I am completely ashamed of this terrible trump administration - clearly trump has no clue & only knows mob tactics to get anything done - I salute Canada for standing up against this clueless trump

You Shouldn't back down. Stand up for what is right. We Know trump LIES. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a LIE. He has his own agenda.

I am an embarrassed American who knows that this so called golden age Trump speaks of is nothing but FOOL’S GOLD. We have a fool for a president.

Has Trudeau become more attractive since resigning as PM? lol or is he just bluntly and deliberately screwing Canada up by talking down to Trump like that; knowing it'll become Pierre's problem shortly... lol

Can you please impeach this fool you call a President!!!!! Can't you see what he is doing to your country, and you know that Putin has to have some dirt on Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So proud of the Canadians for standing up to Trump. Know that at least 1/2 of the American population is completely behind the Canadians. We are so embarrassed by our POTUS and his lackeys. God help us all.

Canada is already heading into an economic crisis, and what Trudeau just did might be the final nail in the coffin. This is his last big mistake — and he’ll soon blame Trump’s policies to cover up his own failures.\n\nLet’s be clear: Trump’s tariff policies aren’t some random attack — they’re based on a simple reality: The U.S. doesn’t need Canada. Here’s why:\n\nEconomy Size Comparison:\n\nU.S. GDP (2024): Over $28 trillion\nCanada GDP (2024): Around $2.3 trillion\nThe U.S. economy is more than 12 times larger than Canada’s — the leverage is completely one-sided.\nTrade Imbalance:\n\n75% of Canadian exports go straight to the U.S. — Canada’s economy depends on the American market to survive.\nMeanwhile, only around 12-15% of U.S. exports go to Canada. The U.S. can replace Canadian goods easily through Mexico, Europe, or Asia, but Canada has no backup plan for losing U.S. access.\nPopulation and Consumer Base:\n\nU.S. population: Over 330 million\nCanada: Around 40 million\nThe U.S. is 8 times the market size, meaning American businesses would always prioritize the U.S. market over Canada.\nNatural Resources & Energy:\n\nCanada’s oil, gas, and timber exports rely heavily on U.S. buyers.\nThe U.S. is already the world’s top producer of oil and gas thanks to its shale industry — it can easily survive without Canadian energy.\nCanada, on the other hand, would struggle to find new customers fast enough to avoid collapse.\n\nDefense & Global Influence:\nThe U.S. holds dozens of trade agreements with major powers like the EU, Japan, South Korea, and Mexico.\nCanada’s economy relies heavily on U.S. investment, which could be cut off or redirected if necessary.\nBottom line: Trudeau is dragging Canada into a crisis of his own making. He’s gambling with his country’s economic future, knowing full well that in any economic war with the U.S., Canada loses — fast. When the fallout hits, Trudeau will shift the blame to Trump, but the facts are clear: Canada needs the U.S. far more than the U.S. needs Canada.
