Nice one Canada love you

Britain stands with you Canada.

Respect to canada from the isle of man

Canada is strong, sensible, effective and honest. They are the ideal neighbours - why would you shit on them.

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

I'm European, but I lived in Canada for a couple of months and actually got to see Trudeau speak live in Parliament. He gave a very different speech that day - a eulogy. I did not think then I would ever hear this man this very obviously pissed off. He's like one of those teachers that don't need to shout to show their students they are in big trouble. I don't know if I would vote for him if I was Canadian, but I would certainly be proud of him right now.

Wow! Never thought to highly of Trudeau but that’s how a Real Leader conducts himself. Good for you Canada ??

The United States has become an unreliable world leader and trading partner, which will not put America first. The USMCA trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and America, initially brokered and lauded by Trump as “terrific,” is now being scraped. The stated reason, a national security threat due to fentanyl originating from the Canadian border (approximately 43 pounds in 2024), is bogus. This pretend “security threat,” allows Trump to circumvent congressional oversight and undermine constitutional norms. Canada's historical contributions to the United States are extensive, including WWI, fighting Hitler in WWII for two years before they joined the fight, declaring war against Japan WWII after Pearl Harbour before America did, was 25% of D-Day’s landings, support during the Iranian hostage crisis, after 9/11, in Afghanistan, and during natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and California wildfires. However, Canada is now being treated transactionally, with a lack of respect to a historical friend and ally.

This American stands with Canada. ??

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.

Canada l stand with you and that rest of the Democratic world. Unfortunately we have an idiot in chief who doesn't have a blanking clue on how to run a botega yet alone in the United States of America.\nTo yours truly the felon in chief your days are numbered the American people will make it a priority to remove you from the white house along with the Maga bootlickers that support your blank toosh . Trudeau Mad Respect to you a true leader in chief of the free world.

As an American, I want to add my voice to those of other Americans who stand in support of Canada, the EU and Ukraine. Our current occupant of the Oval Office is an embarrassment to those of us who are true patriots. Let the trolls say what they will to express their ignorance, for who in their right mind can support this turncoat.

Shut up trudeau. He did nothing good for canada. Lets talk about facts. Cost of life have double and also debt of canada. Then resign to run away from his own dumb mistakes to not take accountablity like a little kid.

Love it. Canada will continue to suffer as long as Trudeau and his party are at the wheel. Canada will be the big loser in this.

This is the same guy that caused a housing crisis in Canada

Trolling and I love it , Canada ?? hang on there , love from Europe

And a American. I'm with Canada. There's no going back once the goods are up in price. ?

Canada in the EU ??

Anti Anericanism ... ??? No ..Anti Canada more like ..this is your president who causes this shite show im the world !!!

I am so sorry Canada, and all the countries of NATO. The smart people in the USA did not cast our votes for MAGA. Please let us all hope we can impeach him and get back to the not perfect, however, loved DEMOCRACY we were and are.

I’m an American. I admire Canada as an Ally and neighbor. I can’t imagine a better international neighbor to have. The people there are kind and strong. The Trump administration is single-handedly trying to tear down alliances. To what end? Most likely self enrichment. I’m hoping for a normalization of relations as soon as possible. I don’t want a trade war, or any kind of war with Canada. ?? ??

I Live in America and I Stand with Canada 100%.

I'm an American and I'm so ashamed of the irresponsible actions of our government. Our nation is quickly being handed over into the hands of our enemies with our faithful allies removing their support from us because Trump can no longer be trusted. I support Canada and their leadership.

The American people love Canada… Please know that these reckless tariff actions are not supported by most Americans… not only do they damage the relationships of our closest allies, they do not work. They are simply a tax which is ultimately born by the American people.

Not everyone sold their soul, decency, humanity and dignity to Trump. I'm with you, Canada.??

FYI this guy quit his job and put Canada into a position that we rely on other countries to live, has been found guilty in a court of law for embezzlement, what he is doing is preparing his Liberal party to put Canada in a state of emergency that will not allow a democratic election. Trudeau is a dictator don't be fooled like Canada was This guy is a criminal and no Canadians want him in power.

Trudeau is a dictator and has made Canada suffer for a decade under his rule sorry he has no credibility and making the trump government seem wrong. If he managed Canada better trump wouldn’t see us a weak. And take advantage of that

USA Democrats will not accept 83% vote win and are still campaigning against Trump and Republicans. They hav e not stopped from day one. The socialistic/communistic world supports them in attempting to break down all Americans work hard for. America will not be pushed around and broken. If Canada wants to be with them, let Canada fall with them.

God bless Canada. ?

As an American I just want to point out that not all Americans are at fault for this. MAGAts are to blame, and we're looking to deport them in 4 years time, so it's good that Canada is investing in their border controls.

I’m an American from Georgia ….this is just sad! I am just ashamed of our government. Good for Canada…. Don’t back down, stand firm. Very well spoken.

U.S doesn’t need Canada though……

As a German, I can only say, great country. My son studied in Canada for a year. He was given such a warm welcome. Thank you. The import taxes are nonsense. Trump is using a manner that will have a long-lasting effect. I hope for the USA that in four years there will still be free elections and an opposition.

I am a Hungarian born Canadian, I am so sad to see what the US is doing to my beloved country. Please stay strong and we are standing by you from Europe. Love you Canada!!!!

? didn't he step down because he is corrupt and everyone hated him? Lol FK Canada

Traudeau is an idiot! Dictatorship of Canada!

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been grifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake.

Fun Fact: All the EU and Canada have no term limits for their prime ministers/premier, just like in Russia!

He never had any intention on cooperating with Canada or Mexico!!!!!! he had already decided that he wanted to align with Russia and Kim Jong-un way before and this happened. This good people is a red herring!!!

American. I support Canada and all our allies.

As an American, Canada please let my family in! We don't like this crazy dictator. We are retired, and will not take Canadian jobs, we will only spend our money in Canada. Please open retirement visas!

Canada act like we need them we don’t need you or your drugs.

Good on you, Canada. Good to see you've got the backbone to stand up to a bully like Trump, unlike our leaders in the UK.

President Trump wants to annex Canada that’s all.

Canada, my greatest respect to you. Thank you for doing what you have to do to do. I am hopeful that with world pressure such as yours, we can rid our country of trump and his followers. Thank you for staying strong and pushing back on our absolute embarrassment of a terrible leader.

Why is Canada delaying some of its counter tariffs? An eye for an eye.

American traitors support Canada

Hold tight Canada. It may be tough but do not give up, do not give in, do not bend the knee to those degenerats currently running the US. The Americans have just sold their long term allies to Russia for some short term (or mid term at best) gains. They are not to be trusted anymore. \nLast weeks events will be neither forgotten nor forgiven.

Canada and Trudeau are our heroes in this tough times. Such a clear and strong speech full of facts - which a lot of the politics seem have a blind eye for right now.

Fentanyl flows FROM the US into Canada, NOT the reverse.
