This isn't about fentanyl. This is a precursor to a land grab. The Trump regime will try to force Canada to it's knees and to the negotiating table, taking land they need for oil and mining. If Canada won't sign it away, Trump will take it by force. Unless the American public stands in his way.

Isn't it obvious right now that Trump and his administration are being played by Putin and if it continues the USA will be Russian.

Im American this isn't my government.

This is why CNN should fail. Instead of finding someone who speaks French to interpret what Trudeau is saying they have morons telling us this isn't good. So boring. So worthless.

This isn't about Fentanyl...its about forcing assimilation of a 51st state

As an American, the saddest thing is I now have to root against America. A slim majority of those who voted put this wannabe dictator and putin puppet in office and I want to see other countries point that out and slap back. The world needs to recognize the psychosis of donald trump. There isn't any equal relationship or deal with him. He must feel like he's humped you into submission. But like all weak men and bullies, he's ultimately a coward in the face or real challenge. Thank you Canada and accept the sincere apologies of the voters that foresaw and rejected this disastrous government.

Isn’t this guy the same guy that froze the bank accounts of truckers? ?

Isn't that what Mr Trump should be saying to his people instead of taking us down this crazy path

You must go to a higher level than just matching Trumps 25%. Make him feel the pain and know Americans will survive all of this. We regret electing D Trump. He is a liar, and isn't doing what he promised. He's making things much worse.

Trudeau just isn't believable ?

Isn’t this the same guy that called a state of emergency 2 years ago on protesting Canadian truckers?\nThen he froze their bank accounts? ?\nNice guy !\n ? ….

Maga wants blood! Not reason! The mad man has planted the seed of superiority in their narrow minded thick minds! They believe Canada is part ?? and maga! Canadians you better buckle up and prepare yourselves for this wolf isn't stopping! He is willing to destroy everything in his path if he cannot have it! Canada you like or not you are the front line and flag barriers of the free world! ?? has fallen.

Isn't CNN circling the drain? As is Trudeau. Paper tigers galore.

Why are we alienating every ally we have? This isn't who we are.

Isn’t this the guy that has doubled his countries debt?

This is a worldwide take down of the world economy for a RESET. JT and DJT are just acting out their roles to bring it about. This isn't difficult.

He's greedy, selfish, and a bully oh and lets not forget a 34 time felon, oh yah and Perverted old man and if thats not enough he's a R***est however being Smart isn't one of His traits ... And don't get me started on the people who voted for this fool.

Trump isn't being played he knows exactly what he is doing.

This isn't about Fentanyl . If it was, trump would learn that America has been selling guns to the drug cartels. That needs to be changed right away. But trump won't listen to anyone because he is stupid.

If it isn’t the spineless pseudo-dictator that takes of all his people’s money under the guise of carbon tax and spends it on social programs that do absolutely nothing and private flights/vacations for himself and his friends. Everyone else here needs to wake up

lol Canada isn’t our closest friend. Trudeau is a commie. Wake up Canada

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.

Well telling trump he’s doing a dumb thing to do isn’t gona help

Money isn’t real. ? prepare yourselves. \nIt cannot save you, only God can.

Sorry, but Trudeau isn’t a good Prime Minister.

Awwwww the governor of the 51st state thinks he leads a country isn’t that cute. Shut up moron the adults are in charge now

It isn't about Putin! TRUMP IS TRYING TO BE PUTIN. He's trying to crash Canada's economy so oligarchs can swoop in. JFC I cannot believe no one gets this! You people aren't in the same park much less observing the playing field!

we have fertilizer here !!!!!!! and it's probably better and drugs are coming from you from China cause he's paying you , isn't he and you are only saying this shit cause he put you in your place !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup; U.S. math isn't mathing

Let’s be crystal clear. This isn’t Americans doing this. This is Trump, Republicans and MAGA supporters fault. Not AMERICA! ??

And Zelensky isn't a lying killing dictator that Trudeau stands by.

Trudeau is a clown.. Isn't he fired? Canada hates him

I live in the middle of the country, 416,000 mortgage, stay at home wife with 2 young kids.\n\nWe are further and further into massive date.\n\nThis on a salary of 145,000\n\nYes it's personal info, but we all need to be more honest about this and show each other the complete disaster that we are all heading towards.\n\nChild preschool alone for me, being a 'successful' income earner, is 890 per month.\n\nI pay over 40% into tax system and get nothing in return.\n\nBillions\nare spent on failing 'free healthcare' (which isn't free, it's the highest thing we are taxed on and it sucke), \n\nMillions are spent on welfare state, homeless, drug addicts and criminals.\n\nMassive regulations and taxes are the key drivers of our slowing economy and negative foreign investment.\n\nSocial fragmentation is exasperated by massive immigration and an even more massive housing crises.\n\nPoliticians, lawyers and real estate agencies are to blame.\n\nWe've done this to ourselves. Saying yes to easy money in return to long term pain.\n\nTurning away from oil and other natural resources (commodity based dollar)into becoming a real estate based economy is the final nail in the coffin.\n\nNew immigrants are 32-34% migrant workers and 66-68% dependants. Dependants being peippe NOT paying into tax system. Thus, being a competent and utter burden on our already thinly stretched social services.

Sincere apologies, Canada. I'd like to say this isn't who we are as Americans, but thanks to 78 million assholes, I'm beginning to believe it is.

Trump isn't smart ? \nHe's a fool!!! Real Americans stand behind Canada and Mexico ?

Hmm isn't that nice of you Trump now the Canadian leader is looking good to PUBLIC ?? props to you Trump

We don’t want to see you hurt either but the trade isn’t equal so even it out

Donald Trump’s latest 25% tariff on Canada isn’t about America—it’s about himself. Now that he’s not begging for your votes, he’s unleashed: no accountability, no loyalty to the people, just pure greed. This is a blatant betrayal of public trust—a president exploiting power to pad his pockets while burning bridges with allies. Wake up, America!.

Trump isn't harmed by this. He's pocketing all the $$$ from his tarrifs. Fun fact: Trump bankrupted several of his casinos. How do you manage to bankrupt a casino... Maybe by pocketing all the $$$ in it until theres not enough to even run it??? What do you expect from convicted felon as president LOL.

I don't get it....if Fentanyl gets in through our border isn't it our border failure? Canada can try to stop fentanyl getting into their country, but why do they have to stop it from getting into our country?

Remember that the guy is convected felon. Sure he will praise dictator. Now Canada and Mexico know how they are dealing with. He and his crony isn't your or free world friend and he never will be.

Trudeau gave a good speech. But he was wrong about one thing. He said DT is a smart man, no he isn't!!!

Isn’t what trump doing treasonous?

Isn’t Donald’s son addicted to fentanyl? ?

The orange turd isn’t a smart man and doing dumb things is all he knows.

If us Canadians still vote this party you all are sheep and dump. This doesn’t change anything on how he destroyed our country. Wake up people. And if you don’t remember, freedom of speech, was taken away freedom to assemble, was taken away the charter rights or trampled on, and you were forced to take the poke plus carbon tax through the roof. This guy isn’t for the people of Canada. Fact is you should’ve been gone long time ago.

So if it isn’t about fentanyl Mr. Trudeau what is it about ?

Isn’t this the same leader that Canada doesn’t want

Canadian here....appreciate JT's message, and stand by him in this situation, but sadly know that our long friendly relationship with the USA does not matter at all to this administration. JT's message does not matter to that administration, or their MAGA followers. Fentanyl from Canada isn't a real issue - in fact, significantly more comes into Canada from the USA, along with guns, than the other way around - but that fact doesn't matter at all to the administration or their MAGA followers. Facts and logic are not involved in this. Canadians are quiet and peaceful people who are proud of their country, and we are coming together over this shared cause. We will weather this and be stronger as a country for it.

This is what dealing with liars gets you. Ukraine had every right to bring that up in the Oval Office. “Trust me bro” isn’t enough.
