Trudeau govt. Is failed to maintain \nRelationship with USA .\nCanada need mature P.M.\nI respect bond between Us and Canada public.\nBut Trump is right he is now taking\nCare of his own country's economy. He is not allowing taxpayers money to E.U. & other country's.

GO CANADA, stick it to Trump.

Canada Europe is ready to work closer with you!

As an American, I always thought Justin was a respectable guy. At this point with republicans being pussies, I’d rather Canada just buy America.

Genius Trump, who wrote Art of Deal. He want split Rusia from China and get rare earth. Insted he is spliting Europe and Canada from Usa. And rare earth will go to Europe or China. And prove worldwide America can be trusted ?

Canada seems like the new United States of America

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

American Republican here, keep standing strong, Canada! Thank you!

Canada would be in a better place If he only spoke this clearly and stood up with a back bone years ago, not months before leaving office! smh

Canada needs America.

Americans do NOT stand with the “h*tler wannabe” Canada thank you for handling this with grace. We are going to struggle, we are going to suffer, please help us.

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

Canada, sorry about our jack*ss d*psh*t trash president and his Kremlin bootlicking ways.

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

A real politician. Support for Canada from Ireland.

Sadly I’m an American democrat that actually feels relieved that Canada is there. I feel like they are the grownups watching us learn from our bad choices. Thank you Canada.

From the USA: Why is it right for Canada to tariff us more than we tariff them? Trump pointed out that there was a 200 billion a year tariff deficit for the USA. Some say that number is inflated and the real number is somewhere around the 70 billion mark in Canada's favor. No one disagrees that the US has a huge tariff deficit with Canada. So, the USA is just leveling the playing field. It's time to truly have level trade with the rest of the world, not just Canada. No more free lunch from the US to the world. We want free and fair trade, but for that to happen we must tariff other countries goods at exactly the same level they tariff our goods.

Staying firm with Canada....do not be bullied. Stand your ground.

Justin does not have the support of his own party. They have no confidence in him and he cannot bring economic benefit to Canada other depending on US

Trump has invented the emergency with Canada to avoid Congress and use executive powers to slap a tax (taxation without representation) like a King would, on the US people. Last time this happened tea was thrown into the river and the US fought their war of independence.\n\nIt’s time to declare independence from Trump/MAGA

We dont want your globalist world Canada. We are leaving the neo liberal order. Open boarder and the post industrial apocalypse you want to bring to tbe world. Problem is these leftist will sabotage and destroy thier own country just to spite trump and their own people. They support a nazi lead party in Ukraine where even gay marriage is illgeal. Leftist are sick curel people

USA sends more Fentanyl to Canada than they send to us. FACT!

From Oklahoma, so many here support you Canada and Trudeau and also Zelenskyy! I know it doesn’t seem like it but there is indeed a big community here that isn’t brainwashed ?

Our PM is strong and true leader, Canada responded very diplomatically, while protecting Canadians and in effort to help American business, farmers and people.

Long Live Canada ??

PoS ?JTurd!!! I wouldn’t listen to a word he says. He’s destroyed Canada. Should be imprisoned!!! ??

Vive la Canada!

This is a joke right? There is almost nothing I buy in the store that is made in Canada. lol. I buy American or locally grown stuff.

I stand for Canada ?? its the Land of a Living. I was Blessed by God to live in this Beautiful Prosperous Country . I like USA very much and American people. It will be the Fall of Trump and his government . You will reap what you sow. Its not about power and authority for All Power belongs to God. \nGod Loves All the Countries.

Bull shit canada

Well done Canada ?? a measured response. I think you have the support of most Americans to switch off the lights.

So much love and respect to Canada from an American that recognizes you are 100% correct. \nWould that we had such an articulate, empathetic, intelligent leader. \nHe is rising to the moment while ours drags us into the mafia thug abyss.

Yea Oh Canada! Perception of Trump, not its citizens, is spot on.

Canadian here. There's a lot of people in Canada that don't like Trudeau for a lot of reasons, but with the recent events I think the majority of the country has come to tolorate him a little while longer until we get a new Prime Minister. Trumps actions have only united the Canadian people.

Canada should immediately order total blockade the border and reject all goods coming to Canada from USA and ask all Canadian not going to USA from now until further notice to force Trump Tariff to crack down! At the same time call each province to mobilize to prepare for actual war to star conscription because Trump may invade Canada like Hitler had done in Europe before! He is actually mad in mind now!

We did not all vote for that orange clown. I absolutely despise orangina.\nVoted for Harris/Walz!\nWe stand with our Allies—Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Europe, etc.\n\n#resisttrump\n\n???️‍???

I stand with you, Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau. I love that you have a reasonable, decent, humane adult leader, Canada, and not an insane, bloated, screaming orange toddler. I'm so sorry America has allowed this to happen, and I'm grieving for our formerly friendly relationship. Not all of us wanted this. Please forgive those of us who stand with you and our allies and not with Tr*mp, Vance, and Putin. I love you, Canada! ?? ? ?? ❤

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

From America ?? I say THANK YOU Canada ?? !!! You’re Standing Tall to the lies!! The Dictators! Canada HAS and Always will be our Brothers & Sisters, Friends !! ❤ Bravo to the BRAVEST!!!

Canada ❤\nTrump against humanity

Canada looking like a great 51st state

Next steps, Leave Nato, and then invade Canada. What could possibly go wrong? Message to Trump: Canadians actually have lots of guns. Trudeau didn't get them all!

Bring it on little man. Your the guy that drove Canada to this point with your lefty policies. Want to help Canada? Leave

Bravo Canada!!! Best wishes from Switzerland!

We’re only vacationing in Canada until trump is OUT! Go Canada!!!! ??

Pensez-y. Pour lutter contre les tarifs américains, l'Ukraine n'est pas l'affaire du Canada.

Trump is a total disaster for all Americans except the $Billionaires. But it wasn't the $Billionaires who voted Trump into office, it was the millions of MAGA Morons, the very people who are now losing their jobs in thousands as Musk takes an axe to everything. Tariffs on America's main trading partners means that the American consumers, many of them MAGA Morons, are going to be hit a lot harder in the pocket as prices on their goods rocket. I only feel sorry for the Americans, who saw this coming and voted against Trump. For all the MAGA Morons, don't cry help, you brought this on yourself !!! Here in the UK we support Canada 100% !!!

Canada takes American liquor off the shelves. In Germany I saw today that my favorite restaurant replaced American CocaCola with German FritzCola (which tastes so much better, by the way) ?

As a US citizen who has considered Trump to be a boorish moron since I was a child in the 1980s, I thank Canada and PM Trudeau for standing strong against our idiot-in-chief and I hope we can repair this unnecessary rift as soon as possible.

Come on Canada.. its time Americas allies give America back a little.\nThey can have Russia and North Korea.\n\nThe UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and China can get together and have our own agreements
