This is not going to hurt America. Trudeau is a loser. Didn't he resign? This will cripple Canada's economy, it will not effect the US. You think Canada is in a good place now?... Your crazy. Canada f'd around and now they are going to find out.

Please don't say they its only trump. Us in America feel the same way yall do Canada

Here is another approach to Trumps tariff. Any country like Canada, China and Mexico etc etc. All these countries can tell Trump shove it. Stop importing goods into the U.S. find other countries that can and replace the U.S. and watch America and Republicans literally collapse. Just a thought Tariff means customer will pay more for sure.

OH HOG WASH AND CANADA HAS BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AMERICA FOR MANY YEARS NOW, WE ARE NOT SCARED

What times we live in :D America becoming ally with Russia which leader putin is nothing else like Stalin or other soviet leaders. And America is becoming enemy not only with Europe but also with closest ally Canada :D What the hell is going on? China celebrating now. USA had veroius presidents good ones, bad ones, smart ones and dumb ones, but this one is no doubt the worst and dumbest one ever.

This is not what the people of America want! We want a great relationship with Canada! ?

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

We in the uk will stand with our Canadian brothers but we wish our American friends would stop this nonsense we all all supposed to be allies did America forget already who stood firm with them after 9 11 yes the uk and Canada our troops died alongside Americans and we didn’t want anything in return, come on America this is not you

Canada: The brain of north america.

Greetings to Canada and the Canadian people. With this decision, you are exporting inflation and high prices to America, and the American citizen will feel it later, and then Trump will come to negotiate with Canada. Imagine if Europe applied the same principle. I almost swear that Trump will become a beggar in the political street for Canadians and Europeans.?

As an American ?? I 100% stand with Trump. America first. You do you Canada and we will do us.

A very articulate, professional and intelligent man has spoken. I heard him word for word. God bless you Canada and God bless America!

All I got to say is Canada you better get this piece of ? out of power while you still have a country he is absolutely destroying your country time for America to make shit fair period Tredou needs imprisoned facts

Dumb Drumpf! So obsessed with fentanyl as an excuse for imposing tariffs on Canada -then tell me why did he release the America's kingpin from jail after serving less than 10 years after being handed down a sentence of 80 years! Max Butler was a master at drug dealings of any kind you could imagine making 1.2 billion dollars including 4-5 murders. This was cyber crime in the dark web used as a tool to commit these crimes which had eluded authorities. How many other people had died because of him. Now he's free!

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

This man is a lier and has taken the guns away from Canadians. The USA does not need Canada. I say we pull our military out of Canada and build a northern border to further protect America. Canada is nothing more than a branch of Britain.\n\nIf you news reporters don't like the American first idea then move to Canada.

What has this got to do with putin tho. Did he allow Fentanyl to enter the United States thru Cananda? No Canada did. Is he the one not doing enough to stop Fentanyl entering the united states? no Canada did. Maybe if Trudeau could just use the effort he is using to oppose America right now to eliminate Fentanyl from Canada. it would resolve the problem.

Ya see All of these Decades of bullying, plundering, colonizing, and imperializing other countries, Has finally caught up to the United States of America and it’s system. In 2002, the axis of evil was Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. Now that the rest of the world is fed up with America and its colonizing bullying Ways, The nations are pulling together and moving on without the toothless fangless , Non-venomous snake called the United States of America. And there’s nothing that we here in America can do about it! SIGN UP FOR BRICS CANADA ! You’ll be just fine!

Coming from a guy that doesn't quite look like he's going to be there long. 1.7 trillion that's trillion dollars of manufacturing money coming to America because of the tarrif threats. Not Canada but America, real jobs and money not government jobs.

America does not need Canada. This is what Americans' voted for.

Who cares? Seriously Of course he's upset. Canada relies heavily on the U.S., with about 75% of its exports going to America, making us a major contributor to their GDP. Instead of making other countries richer, we should focus on manufacturing and building here at home. This would keep more money circulating in the U.S., boosting economic growth and strengthening our own GDP. A stronger domestic economy means more jobs, higher wages, and greater financial stability for Americans. Regardless of who’s president, we need fair trade policies that benefit the U.S. just as much as our partners.

America, wake the feck up. Why do you put old, rich men in charge of your future? You go from one man who isn't far from being in a care home, to a man not that much younger but is a crude, reckless, arrogant, divisive bully?\n\nTake a look at the leaders of Canada and European countries, people who are put there because of talent and quality and ability, not because they are rich.\n\nHonestly, wake up and change your messed-up political system.

Canada you are in a pickle because of your government's ignorance America is your trading partner you cannot survive without us we have too many trading partners wise up little man

I stand with America Canada as allways been no good

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

AMERICAN HERE. PLEASE BOYCOTT AMERICAN GOODS, BOYCOTT AND STOP BUYING TESLA, IT IS OK WE KNOW YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING CANADA. I STAND WITH CANADA . AMERICA IS NOW BEING GOVERN WITH A KING AND REPUBLICANS GESTAPO. WE WILL VOTE THEM OUT COME 2026 WE WILL GET THE HOUSE BACK FROM THESE DICTATORS.

If only American elected leaders of the same calibre that Canada does. It's a shame America has gone all Russian.

To Canada, America is in debt, how are we supposed to fix it? Nothing stays the same.

Looking in from the UK Trump has just gone 100% rogue for the west and 100% for Russia. By splitting USA V Canada V Mexico trade which he signed of in his first term he has now supplied Russia with the split they wanted. USA power has always been the number of allies it has around the world now it is splitting from them and joining Putin which makes Putin very happy. America is weaker and that is just dandy for Russia China Iran and North Korea President Che will be moving forward with his plan to attack Taiwan and then watch America as it has no computer chips for all the industries tied to super computers cars planes ect.

IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!!!! AMERICA ??!!!! AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE A STAND AND KICK TRUMP OUT!!! IMPEACH TRUMP!!!!! I'M AMERICAN, BUT I STAND FOR CANADA ?? AND OTHER COUNTRIES!!!!!!

Trump has sold America to Russia. America wake up and Do The Right Thing...Revolt against Trump. We will die under his leadership...Trump got of jail and unleashing his wrath on US citizens. Well done Canada..Well done ❤

The Bible says to shun evil. I'm with Canada on these matters. Hope America will bring back decency in 2028.\n#StupidVoters

I'm one of MANY MANY Americans who stand with Canada and Ukraine! Trump does NOT represent us!!!! The best of America stands with you!!

TRump can't take over Canada as a state . He is Hitler I see .America will be great again huh ? The game started .

The idea of Canada sticking up to America is laughable.

Why don’t Canada that over the United State and the president of Canada replace Grifters Donald Trump. One thing I disagree with his messages is Trump isn’t smart. He has Elon Musk running America and he’s signing coloring books.

With all do respect Mr prime minister Don’t call people Czars Putin gets happy, They been calling Czars to members of their cabinet here in America, God bless Canada, feel sorry for us.

The fact is...they've been benefiting from America for years! We don't NEED canada.

America Strong!! Love the ppl Of Canada, not Canadian Gov..

As an African, I think Canada is the pearl of the Americas, love from Nigeria❤

We don’t need anything from Canada keep taking your peoples rights we got rights in America

Trump wants to sow discord between the people of Canada and the people of America, aiming to make them hate each other, so that he can then attack Canada and seize it. Trump admires Putin because, like Putin, he believes that the strong can do whatever they want, while the weak must obey! But what else would you expect from a country where slavery was once considered normal, from a country that exterminated millions or even billions of Indigenous people just to take their land? Of course, over time, things have changed — people have become smarter and started to value life — but Trump belongs to that ancient caste of Americans whose IQ is around 20–50...

Protect your own borders. Since when is it Canada’s responsibility to protect America’s borders lol. Blame the past administration for leaving your borders on demand for four years. Canada isn’t your scapegoat.

Canada the new America?

This is a move Trump himself didn't even want to take. He was forced to do so by the American energy sector. Trump wants america to become completely free of any foreign dependence. The only thing Canada has that the United States depends on is their energy for the Northern US. Trump has slashed regulations and opened land for American companies to start drilling and providing their own energy to the US. They decided against it for record profits. This will for e them to start drilling in the US by making it cheaper than getting energy from Canada. This has nothing to do with Russia. If it did, the US could get all the cheap oil and natural gas as he wants. Putin would give it to the US for free. Trump could careless about Russia or Putin. He wants american energy companys to start doing their jobs and provide energy to the american people at a reasonable cost. But all they are worried about is their record profits.

In typical narcissistic behaviour Putin is isolating America from her friends. Trump is stupid. He thinks he has a 'good' relationship with his best friend Putin.... but Putin will eat Trump for brekky & spit him out when he is of no further use. \nI'm in Australia & we are with you Canada & with Ukraine.

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

If you want to stop Trump in his tracks, if you want to teach him a well deserved lesson, boycott all American products coming into Canada and every other country around the world. Stop selling products to America, and ban Americans from coming into your countries.\nIn less than a month or even less you will have Trump on his knees begging you all. You want the bullying to stop?\nStop the bully.
