From Germany: All my thoughts and love to the Canadians and US citizens, who did NOT vote for Trump. There will be hard times come to us. Let´s stay together.

Canadian here … It is abhorrent that Donald Trump was voted into power, again. He should have lost his ability to be on the ballot. It’s outrageous and sickening what he’s been getting away with. I love the USA and grieve at what is happening between our countries.

Just a FYI Canadians hate turdo, and this traitor is imposing a 20% carbon tax on Canadians April 1, keep that in mind as well, so he's no better than trump, he froze Canadian bank accounts who opposed him, decarled a peaseful protest a national emergency, sent war horses to trample canadians, he's a p.o.s, so dont give him any credit.

Does Trump think this will push Canadians to joining America as a new state.

That dude will be replaced and its because Canadians are tired of super left ideologies. It will probably be more of a landslide than trump vs kamala election

I have heard and seen Canadians get upset with Trudeau but they should be proud of him. Trudeau is a gentleman very professional and he is actually sane. Trump has a lot of loose bolts up there. The worst thing a leader can do is, betray their allies. Trump is a traitor!

You know the truth President Trumpet, about Canada as our evidence proving sir that Canada’s Governments hire the international known Biker Criminal Organizations to put the Hit on Canadians whom have evidence against Canada’s very corrupted Criminal politicians of the Liberal Party and Conservatives whom for decades across Canada with their provincial underlings have turned Canada into a a Pro Domestice Organized Criminal state , all biker gangs in Canada and mafia have complete Criminal Immunity by all of Canada’s governments. Trudeau Pollievre are iars along with their provincial counter parts. Trudeau currently the head of his governments criminal syndicate’s. The governments of Canada are guilty of criminal acts against us by very much approving and hiring biker gangs and all their street thugs as well as many members of police and national security supporting these gang institutions with complete criminal immunity. The fact is that All of Canada’s allies that have embassies in Ottawa have protected Canada’s clear defined terrorist acts against my wife and I for almost 20 years one government after the other. The Trudeau Government has cut trade deals with other member states that include these nations forced to as part of the Trudeau liberal conservative agenda in trade agreements with out this being written with in those trade agreements that member states must adhere to a collective part of trade agreements that no nation in such agreements is allowed to present any criminal evidence against the governments of Canada by Canadian citizens . Factum. The Trudeau government and their entire Parliament of opposition are so frightened of our 20 years of evidence that they have closed off all my videos on YouTube to the public both with in Canada and outside Canada. The world cannot become all gangster states and gangster statemen for this will destroy the nations. Canada’s prime ministers have lied and lied and lied they do not at all deal with internal domestic criminal gang terrorism they secretly endorce all of it. Many American peoples suffer from the governments of Canada’s secret criminal gang Drug Trade. Trudeau for example decided to legalise cannabis a industry run by all the criminal organizations in Canada prior to legalisation making hundreds of millions of pot laundering drug money, Trudeau decides he wants a cut of the pot trade so he legalises all the criminal organizations running illegal grow operations now licenced to legally operate across Canada and sell pot legally to Canadians paying revenue Canada tens of millions in taxes the same organizations are now licienced by Trudeau to grow operations these same groups also are involved in international illegal drug activity in with South American Cartels and Mexican Cartels. Trump must come clean with God and take action against Canada 75 percent sanctions must employed. The reason why Canada refuses to join the U.S as a 51’s state is because we would then fall under the U.S Justice System and then the U.S would be shocked to see that Canada is a criminal state.

Sorry to burst your bubble guys - the Canadians are full of bluster. This guy is a loser. All Trump haters have found a straw to hang on to even though it borders on being traitorous. These Canadians boo at our National Anthem….and have never stopped hating us. Until now they have been polite about it…but deep down they have harbored envy and strong dislike of Americans. As far as I am concerned, they can take a fricking hike.

Trump . Hey I know how we can all get rich. World leaders we are all in. America raise its Tarrifs everyone else raises their Tarrifs. Only Americans , Canadians and Mexicans pay the price . Not the Billionar oligarchs in control of are govronments ! Everyone in the US Congress are multi millionaires. Including Trump and Musk. They don't give one fuck about raising prices or inflation ! It just makes them richer.

He is working like a true Demonrat. They lie blame for his own doing. Where was your friendship Trudeau when your corrupt friend Biden inflated the Americans people? You didn't want to meet with Mr. Trump (who you say is your friend) to make fair and balanced trade. That seems like a one-sided friendship and we are about COMMON SENSE. Trudeau, you are putting Americans and Canadians through this because you don't want to see that Mr. Trump just wants fairness and for some reason you want tariff wars. That's the truth and you need to start speaking truth and quit misleading people with lies! That's why the democrats have been defeated because they are corrupt and they lie to the people.

First, We as Canadians do truly care for the Americans who didn't Vote for Trump. But it's time we shut off the power and see what baby ?Trump will do..Time for him to back the Fuck up Canada has had it with your Dumb Ass

That Paula Newton lady is framing this like this is Canada's fault, not that the US started this whole situation. Canada is only responding to getting punched in the face by saying they won't let themselves continue to get punched, which is 100% reasonable. Sorry both Americans and Canadians will have to deal with this insanity and the rest of the world will have to deal with the ramifications of Trump's destructive policy.

From England ??????? we support our Canadian friends , Trump is crazy ?

Trudeau government has hurt the Canadian economy for the last 8 years, thankfully, now that he is going out .He's trying to dust himself off and blame President Trump for his naive ways of governing .

This trade war is only going to bring True Americans, Canadians and Mexicans closer together in solidarity against the Trump Regime. Our shared suffering will draw us together and create a unified force against Donald Trump the likes of which no-one has yet seen arrayed against a particular regime since World War 2.

I don’t think that Trump’s Tariffs have anything to do with Fentanyl. His aim is to isolate USA from their allies, he wants to gather as much money as possible to pay for huge tax cuts to the richest oligarchs. This is all about greed first and the destruction of democracy second. We are so much more vulnerable as a nation at this time. I love my Canadian friends, please don’t think that us New Englanders support him.

Trump knows its not about drugs. He wants all Canadian minerals for nothing. He is acting like a thug along with Vance and Musk

Our dumb PM Trudeau is punishing Canadians by adding tarrifs to US products they need for their businesses and not given them time to find alternative canadian sources. He is not as smart as premier Doug Ford who is just adding surtaxes to products sold to US from Canada. He doesn't care if he did he would end poroguing of parliament and increase spending on military and border protection on all sides of our country he says that Trump is going to cause a recession in Canada we already have on caused by 9 years of Liberal federal government backed by NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.

Good news for Americans.\nNow that Canadians aren’t buying our bourbon the prices should go down in the US. This is a good thing because Americans are drinking heavier than ever since Trump‘s return.\nTariffs are already working and we Americans will be crying all the way to our next AA meeting.

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

What America gain from Trump Bully Policy toward Friends and Allied ?. \nYep, we have to agree with Canadian : Don is Dumb ?. \nGood you Canada ❤.

Amazing the libtards actually did their job. All it took was Trump's tariffs. Actual Canadians thank you president Trump.

You're too late, Trudeau. You should have responded back in November. When Trump mentioned it, but you decided to go hiding.\nNow it's your fault.Nobody else to blame but you\nAs a canadian, I am totally disgusted with your response to this!!

Canadians may be respectful people ! But , Trudeau is not respected ! Quite simple ! Well done Trump ! Get back to the early days Canada ! Get rid of Trudeau!

If Trudeau had been strong and forceful on all our problems in the last 5 years, he would still be Prime Minister. i think he got caught up in his own self importance, instead of running our country for the good of it's people. I have wanted him out for the last 3 years, but todays speach to the US, Trump and the Canadian citizens showed a strength that i thought he didn't possess. he finally grew a set and it looked good on him. just saying it the way it is.

I'm calling it... Trump is going to order the US military to seize Canadian resources, within 1 maybe 2 years. War of 1812 is back on.

We must stand up for ourselves against the bully like Trump. I hope to see other world leaders to do the same thing like Canadian PM Trudeau. As he points out loud and clear that Trump hurts Americans!!!!

We love Canada and Canadians. Is just the elections were cheated by Trump, Ellon and Russia. We didn’t want this man as President.

Ah yes, the trade war that Canada will surely lose. I love Canada. Wouldn't trade it for the world, but this is a losing battle by which citizens on both sides will feel the full effect. Trump appeasing Putin is a chess move, that the PM seems to be overlooking. The US can't afford to go to war with Russia, but at the same time, it needs resources within Russia's neighboring region. So the US will do what they always do, and had people listened to what Kissinger had to say, they'd be better prepared for this. Nonetheless, let's stand proud and strong, and come together as Canadians in order to get through this.

its clear that in trump administration they want to invade us by force .. those are the next steps , im a Canadian and really afraid of that ..

From the USA: I support my Canadian cousins. STAND TALL AGAINST TRUMP!

Trump is trying to collapse the Canadian economy so some how he can try and make Canada the 51st state without even firing a single shot.

I am Canadian. A very proud Canadian. \nI am very proud of our Prime Minister. He speaks with truth and facts. He is articulate, calm, and composed. Such a contrast to what the world experienced watching trump and vance kibosh the Ukraine president. Trump and vance were utterly disgusting. \nGood luck to those of you in USA who didn't vote for trump and the nightmare you're dealing with. \nCanada, elbows up!❤

Why is Trump doing this ???? Our electric company in upstate NY is Central Hudson owned by Fortis, a Canadian company! So we will get nailed with higher bills and perhaps even have our electric shut off ! Disgusting behavior Trump !

I can't understand why Canadians are not happy with him. I wish we had someone like Justin Trudeau to stand up to Trump over here.

The United States did not start a trade war with Canada, Trump did. The American people love Canadians. Trump is not the US.

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.

It’s simple: Trump wants to replace Canadian commodities with Russian commodities! Shame on our NATO partner. This Canadian says pull the plug on the power exports.

Im an American. Im ok with Trump putting tariffs on Canada. Trudeau has not been a good leader. So he'll use this to get the Canadians on his side. Don't forget Trudeau ceased the truckers money.

I know that Canadian have complained about Justin Trudeau over the years, but his recent leadership in regard to Ukraine & Europe has been stellar and undoubtedly his response to Trump is something TO BE ABSOLUTELY PROUD OF! This is not the time to rock the boat globally, as Trump is doing

For all of you GO Canada people. The majority of Canadians oppose what our government is doing. This man has destroyed our economy and done everything he could to stop international trade of LNG and oil by shutting down all pipeline and LNG PROJECTS WE HATE THIS MAN. It is not Trump BAD it is everything Trudeau did above and more that killed us. these Tariffs would mean nothing to us if he hadn’t fiscally destroyed us. We are getting what we deserve. Unfortunately it will lead to destitution of many people. I can’t wait to see his party gone. We are running out of time.

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!

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

Now YouTube is censoring Canadian idioms. \n\n7:56 Trump is a Soviet stooge. He knows exactly what he is doing.

I’m Canadian and I’m terrified for us as well as all the innocent people that will be affected by this. I find it curious though that past presidents haven’t made any remarks, at least that I’ve seen, about all the things Trump has done in the last six weeks. Where are the condemnations about tariffs, the way Zelensky was treated and the fact that Trump is the one letting human traffickers (allegedly) across the border? As in Andrew Tate and his brother. Trump is the one allowing criminals in. Trump is the one about to sell gold cards to anyone for $5,000,000. That will include known terrorists.

Great, unambiguous words by the Canadian president! But one of his remarks stood out: he said that the tyrants want to divide us. He is correct, of course. But the implications are profound! This means that Trudeau himself is measuring his words and deliberately using diplomatic language. He even says that Trump is “intelligent”, which only plays into the imbecile’s unfortunate NPD psychology! The unwillingness to stand strong against American tyranny is harming democracy worldwide! Force Trump to declare a side! And make him choose Putin or democracy NOW!! If you fail to do that, you are taking the path of accommodation, and if Trump is really a tyrant (which he surely is, because of MANY evidences!!), democratic countries weaken their position by not standing strong NOW. If Europe and Canada and Mexico ban Tesla imports and place 50% tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of American products, what would happen? Are these countries AFRAID of the United States? This is not the time for fear! This is the time for courage! Boycott!!!

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!

You go, Trudeau and the rest of the great Canadians! As an American, I am ashamed and appalled at the unholy trio of trump, Vance and musk.

An american living in Germany. The Canadians were (and are) my neighbors. I grew up in Maine, and no one one should piss off Canadians, it can only go bad. But EXACTLY that is what trump wants, that everything goes bad. It is not only going bad, everything is going to shit, my fellow americans are too stupid to notice or care. This is gonna really backfire for the usa, either Civil War, or WW3, trump wants nothing less.

CNN celebrating an outgoing Prime Minister of a foreign county to give a “blistering speech” against the new American president, while when he does that, they fall apart in disbelieve and outrage!\n\nWhat else is “NEWs”?\n\nRename CNN Candian Network News, maybe. \n\nI used to watch CNN daily, now it’s just a turn-off. Literally. \n\nTrudeau has been a disaster for Canada and Canadians… and he’s being chased “out of town”, but if he attacs the US or even better Pres. Trump, he’s oh so cool and fashionable. \nBut is he?\nHe helped Trump get elected, just like the woke left and CNN. \n\nPad yourself on your shoulders, it wasn’t easy but you did it, well with the help of the rest of the left media. \n\nThanks!
