Canada has helped the U.S. many times. What about the Haiti crisis in the U.S? Don’t you all remember, Biden asked Trudeau to step in and we did. Now there is no crisis. Do you ever hear the U.S thank Canada? How about the many many times we went in to help with natural disasters? You never hear that. \n\nThe RUMP says that the U.S subsidizes Canada and gave a huge amount of money. That is an outright lie.

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

It’s amazing how left-leaning individuals like to commend themselves on being “educated” but can’t even define how this war started, or why Biden/State dept. sent billions to Ukraine. Plain and simple, Zelensky was going to sellout, until the state department sent “Red Lines Memo,” which Google search actively buries in other conveniently similar named pieces of information. But it’s out there, straight from the U.S. government. F*** the Russians but F*** the deep state even more, with agendas so well hidden, that we bicker back and forth about “morals.” We, the U.S. citizens have become nothing more than a cog of propaganda since the Smith-Mundt “modernization” Act—allowing US gov to propagandize us.\n\nLet’s think—elected officials officials have classified information but very rarely act on it because it doesn’t align with their constituents concerns. How can the dark corners of FBI, CIA, State department get elected officials onboard? By manipulating what we see and bolstering the voices aimed towards elected officials.\n\nI don’t know if getting into and getting out of Ukraine is/was/will be good for the overall country, but I do know shady tactics have been used to get us there and individuals need to be held accountable.

Canada needs to look forward to partnering with Mexico instead of the rotten united states of north america (not of America ?) just emphasizing that the u.s. do not represent America! ??

U.S. Farming just died...maybe..

It's cute that Trudeau thinks facts matter to the U.S. President or the GOP government.

Canada NEEDS the U.S. NOBODY needs Canada. Trudeau is fleecing his own country and needs to be removed.

U.S. is now the most hated country on Earth, ruled by a snowflake.

Is the company making fentanyl in the u.s? Stop making it

isn't inflation going to hit Canada now just as he said the U.S. Canada cannot fight an economy 4 times greater. Canada's economy will take a bigger hit.

Trudeau is a model of intellect and logic. How sad that the U.S. now cannot match the clear speaking diplomacy of Canada. \nWe envy you Canada!

Don the con is an enemy to the U.S

You white trumpeters voted for this nonsense, and thinking you all were exempt now ALL trumpers will also suffer. I blame you white women and men who went behind the polling door and voted for this clown anyway \n\nAgain white amerikka fucked up the U.S.\n once again

Canadian here..im praying for my friends in the U.S. who didn't vote for trump..thany you ? for your support for Canada ..with love ❤ ????????????????????

The convicted felon dicktator-in-the-making said he wanted Canada's economy 2 b destroyed so he can bankrupt my country. He said it out loud. Yet, everybody was/is distracted with his talk about drugs/people smuggling from here 2 the U.S. \nWe need 2 turn the lights out NOW in the U.S. waste no more time, as the c.f. dick. has four more years.

Dismantling U.S. democracy day by day, losing democratic allies, letting a billionaire to performer unlawful things, bowing to the bloodthirsty dictator Putin—aren’t there enough red flags? Why aren’t Americans protesting in mind-boggling numbers? The streets should be full of protesters by now.

Canada will never trust our relationship with the U.S. again. Sorry to say that. We didn’t start this rupture. Trump did. ?

Yup; U.S. math isn't mathing

as each day passes u.s. becomes more isolated among the world's allies and closer to all dictatorships.

The U.S. and the world are having to pay the price for Trump’s dumbassery.

As a Native American, \nI support Canada ??\nThe u.s. failed it’s self … the u.s. voted for an orange pedo clown who surrenders instead of fighting.

Canadians are frustrated and are choosing to stop buying U.S. products, but Trudeau escalating tensions into a trade war with a partner is just escalating the issue. Plus Canada cannot win this battle. \n\nLeadership change - Trudeau needs to go. Every time Trudeau opens and closes the door he creates a mess. \n\n(Note: open discussions on current events is essential, its too bad the Canadian shut down our rights to speak on media platforms)

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

Trump is an idiot he is getting the U.S tariffed by three countries

As an American I stand with Canada! Trump and his current administration are a complete joke and an embarrassment to the U.S.

??Wish He was the U.S. President!??

I am a U.S. citizen, almost 66 years old. For the second time in my life, I am **ashamed** of my President. Trump is causing damage that will take literally DECADES to repair. Yet again, another country's leader shows his sound, prudent, measured, intelligent and **honorable** character - in such stark contrast to ours.

It feels like Trump is trying to kill off the poor in the U.S.

Love tO Canada.Love to the U.S. people who realize what their lying corrupt traitor president is doing and trying their best to stop him.

Trudeau issues a logical response to an illogical action by the U.S. This American citizen stands with Canada 100%.

Totally behind Canada here. This is a true leader. We here in the u.s. could only wish for.

Its ok everything will be fine. Canada dont need the u.s. the u.s can become a self sufficient country by them selfs. As can Canada. Wonder who gonna have more...?

I just cried watching this. Trump is ripping up the worlds order in Rusias interest. Every FREE Nation will stand up tall against what currently comes from the U.S. Prayers go out to all the U.S. families, who will see it in their bank accounts & grocery prices by now. (Except the MAGA ones)

Canada builds about the same number of cars as they export to the U.S. .That's trade. 12 Corporations have opened assembly plants in Mexico to take advantage of cheap labor, including the Big 3. That's greed.

With allies like that who needs enemies ? The current U.S administration can kick rocks. The gloves are off.

European here. I have never been stiffed by a Canadian customer. Thank you for facilitating the move of my transatlantic market from the U.S. to Canada. Funny thing: Quebecois sounds almost exactly like Bruxellois. Vive la Liberté!

I live thirty miles south of Canada. The U.S. could learn a lot from Canada. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤?

As someone who was born in the U.S. I can’t stand what this country has turned into. It’s despicable and disgusting. I will not stand for the national anthem and I encourage any other American to do so. I hope Canada takes trump down. Thank you Canada for being a great country and for standing up to bullies. Go Canada ??

Boy, please, your country is in parrel right now. Canada is a weak country. U.S. is a great, strong country, unlike your weak government, who makes you pay $2 million for a house.

The U.S. is a disease

It was leaving isolationism behind that made the U.S. the most powerful country in the world. Everything Trump does is contrary to common sense and decency. He is in this for Donald Trump and his few friends and screw the rest of you.

Of course Trudeau is going to lie about what Trump is doing. Trump knows Canada has been a close ally since Canada and U.S. were countries but when Canada and Mexico are taking advantage of the U.S. economically speaking and called out by President Trump, they don't know what to do. Can Mexico and Canada make it without U.S. as a trading partner? Can U.S. oil producers make enough energy for all the needs of U.S. citizens and their companies? Can U.S. farmers provide enough eggs, milk, chicken, beef, grains, etc. without Canada or Mexico?

Thank you, CANADA, for standing strong against U.S. / Trump. But do not give credit to Trump as being a smart person. The world is figuring out how narrow minded he is.

The worst part is it’s the average family household in both Canada & the U.S. that’s going to get hurt the most. This is so shameful. Literally no one wants this trade war.

The only one thing Trump is around for is to make everybody else his minions, that is what he works for to get his kicks from - all the Trump willie show is about that and that is his only card. He doesn't do politics or economics or any of that. He does his 'You Have To Be Minions' willie show, and he does fall out of his pants when people can't be tricked. - That is the one red line he can be identified for. Sure, there is danger as long as the citizens in the U.S. haven't got rid of this cancer cell. It is the modern Adolf Hitler. So make sure to get past him in the shortest time possible - with the smallest damage caused - by any chance. Observation and criticism towards this fascistoid psychopath is surely unavoidable, but it is also what he wants us to do: to spend all our time and attention on him. So let's focus most of our time and effort on building and strengthening what we know that needs to be there instead of this fascist. Improving Unity amongst us. And never bowing to any of the global bullies and fascists. People who can't build on their own turf, communicate their points in a civilised manner, but need to get physically violent instead, militarily, economically, institutionally, at the cost of other people's lives - are not on our agenda. // We will not bow to bully threats - not in our small worlds, and not globally either.

Im canadian please start buying canadian products and avoid products in the u.s this will make trump relent quicker and bring down this ridiculous government

signals to the world that U.S. commitments mean nothing.\nthey are the worst ally ever.

Canada and Mexico are the bread, the U.S is the filling, it's a sh*t sandwich!

The U.S. needs to reduce the trade gap with Canada—plain and simple! We’re done putting our country’s needs second to benefit Canada. Now, let’s talk about the trade imbalance you have with us.

Wonder how much fentanyl smuggled into Canada comes from the U.S.?
