Canada needs to make new trade deals with Europe! It has a much bigger market then the USR

I'm watching Trudeau deliver a fiery speech, addressing Trump directly. He called out policies and actions that have strained Canada-U.S. relations, emphasizing the consequences for both countries and the urgent need for respect and cooperation moving forward. We don’t want this, but here we are, facing the reality.

Lololololol. We don't need Canada, Canada needs AMERICA.\nSo you put Canadians through more strain. Your a creep trudeau.

CANADAS ECONOMY RELIES ON USA SUPPORT IN FINANCIAL AID LMAO YALL NEED US! YOU SHOULD BE 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.

Canada….We DON’T need you at ALL. The only reason you’re still Canada is because of the United States. Fugging less than country. ?

SHUT THE EFF UP TRUDEAU! You've destroyed Canada enough- you'll do nothing to stop MAGA- Canada will crumble due to your ego! I need to become American somehow. I hate it here.

Ask your self why we give money away to foreign countries while others give money as a loan. The world needs the USA. Canada can’t protect Ukraine, Germany,can’t do it. So who will? If our allies think they can do it better then bring our troops home. Watch what happens to their economies. Let their sons and daughters be the first to go in. Let us play a support role. We used to be the police of the world now they want us to be the bank and the police of the world enough is enough.And I’m a veteran as well.

Canada needs to increase their trade with Europe.

PSSST! Hey Canada, If your partner says we need to take a break if you don't do x,y,and z...and you do xyz and she still leaves...brah she's been cheating on you.

Drama teacher is always drama teacher. Trump can place tariffs at any time. Canada must stop rely on USA for everything. Grow up! Yes, we need to reply with the tariffs as well, but stop making your drama as usual. Trudeau, go away and let Poilievre negotiate a deal with Trump. Stop wasting the Canadian taxpayers money and pretend you care. Trump is not a Russian friend. He is keeping us away from the 3rd world war. The war in Ukraine must to stop.

Goodbye Canada. We don’t need anything from you.

we need union between EU and canada, and trade agreements with mexico and mercosur countries

You (Canada) cannot bully our President Trump. You will not win. The United States doesn't need you.

The wheels are coming off bus and we are all onboard. Canada needs to work with Europe to contain Trump’s America

All my support from France to Canada. Democracies that are true to their values need to neuter Trump. There is no other way. Being a felon, a fraud and a sexual predator wasn't enough. He also had to become a threat to the world order that has stood firm since 1945. He and his boss Putin belong in jail.

Ridiculously proud Canadian here. As much as it genuinely upsets me that things had to come to this, it came as no shock. tRump has always been jealous of Canada - our oil, natural gas, timber, minerals, etc.. tRump is ridiculously jealous of our younger, fAAAr better looking country AND Prime Minister. \nSeriously though, Canadians ARE a proud bunch. We just don't feel the need to flaunt it. But this..... THIS one thing has sparked something SOOO fierce, SOOO visceral in my fellow Canucks that now that pride does not only burn in our hearts, but in our bellies..... on a guttural level.

For Trumps agenda, people don't matter. Allies don't matter. He wants to weaken Canada, Mexico, Europe, so oligarchs can gain global control and divide up the spoils. People need to see the big picture through trumps and putin's eyes. Putin must be drooling at this point.

Of course it's CNN. Trudeau, you do not represent Canadians. You have destroyed Canada and only now because of Trump you are dealing with the horrid fentanyl problem that is killing our communities. You have not fixed our health care system nor our political system. YOU NEED TO JUST GO, STOP YOUR EGO DRIVEN LAST GASP AT LEADERSHIP. You prorogued our own government, basically shut down debate and decision making in Canada while you parade yourself around the global world. NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CANADA FIRST, when a short two months ago you were pushing Canada for the past 9 years as a post national state. You are posturing and have no credibility in Canada or globally. YOU DID NOT WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CAME UP WITH NO PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S. YOU JUST WANT TO PREEN AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND SKIRT AROUND RESPECTFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE MANIPULATING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Just take that walk Trudeau and be gone, you have 3 more days and then we do not want to see you again.

Our market is NOT down !! We don’t need Canada …

I’m an American (I’m embarrassed to say) but I am proud to say I completely oppose Trump & Musk’s plan to turn us into or over to Russia. They are in alliance with the corrupt project 2025 and Putin. They are traitors to America. Sadly the world must not trust them. They LIE. They are actively destroying the USA. Trump and Musk need to rule Mars. DEPORT BOTH OF THEM TO SPACE. I support Canada, Gaza, Greenland and Mexico. I WOULD DEPORT TRUMP AND MUSK IF I COULD. They are CRIMINALS and have no legitimacy in my America. Dirty Traitors.

Canada needs a new leader, one with common sense. This man is a liar

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

Being a veteran means ? in america just like the flag and anthem don't mean ?....I know and seen veterans with Nazi SS and confederate flags ....I wouldn't help or give them aide...or piss on them if on fire... Canada should play the bullies own game...his mind set is to hold his bowls just because he thinks he don't need toilet tissue.....just give it time....his mind is going to loose when his bowls pressure builds...... believe me ? going to happen whether he likes it or not.....with or without tissue...✌️? Go Canada

Trudeau is wasting his time. There are millions of Americans who support Canada and Trudeau does not need to explain anything to them. The rest of the Americans are the idiots who support Trump and they will never change their minds no matter how much they get hurt by tariffs.

Western world leaders need to recognise that Trump is only on the side of Putin and Co. and only interested in self - enrichment. Europe / Canada / Mexico / UK need to band together as an alternative 'power' and treat America as an enemy.

We dont need canada, never have. He asked you to do something, and you didnt. So whose that on?

Trump is right, the US needs nothing form Canada. Canada needs to pull their weight. Justin Trudeau has pulled Canada into the dirt.

Canada needs to build the 4th Largest Military in the world.\n\n1. USA.\n2. Germany.\n3. China.\n4. Canada.

???? this is guy who created this issue ??? this guy needs to go off Canada

Leaders need to address each other with respect and avoid fighting,it ain't cool when we see these two biological brothers Canada and USA fighting in a trade war,instead of fighting they should calm down and negotiate.

I stand with Canada! I am American and DT is NOT MY PRESIDENT!!! Did not vote for him. He's a psychotic felon who needs to be impeached!!!!!

The US does not need Canada to exist, Canada needs the US

Canada, there are many highly skilled hardworking American professionals currently facing layoffs. We can contribute to your country's needs and support your government and companies where there are shortages. This is an opportunity to strengthen your workforce—take advantage of it, while America is self destructing.

You need to know here in Canada Fentanyl is being handed out freely on our streets. Especially in BC.

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! ??

We stand with ??. I’m an American and wants Canada to stand on business do not back down from trump. Showing love from North Carolina. It will hurt the American people but a lesson needs to be learned. We smart Americans with logic sense stand 10 toes down with Canada. Handle your business sir… we are with you. We have had enough with this fool and he needs to be gone by all means necessary. Time to take the gloves off AMERICANS and get this idiot out of office. ???

Ah yes the drama teacher turned corrupt liberal dictator who has RUINED CANADA over the last 9 years!! He makes me sick! He doesn't give 2 ? ? about groceries and gas prices for us. He spent $81,000 of Canadian tax dollars on his own grocery bill this year - yeah! That's $1557 a week or $257 a day stuffing his face. That doesn't even include his dining out. He's a liar and needs to disappear like he said he would ?

American here, Canada we love you. We stand with you. We’re sorry. Most of us don’t want this either. Do what you need to do. My only hope is that you can forgive us one day. ??

Many US citizens want to work with Canada! Eff Trump! Do what y'all need to do and we'll be working on getting that tyrant and his cronies out of office. I hope when this is all over we can be friends again and may it never happen again. Sometimes you need to slap sense into your friends and that is exactly what Canada is doing so thank you Canada.

Canada needs to start paying their fair share.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their Republican allies should pay for this. Donald Trump can’t do this to Canada nor Mexico. I don’t want to pay higher prices. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office immediately. We Americans need to do more protests against Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk.

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

Goodbye Canada. We need you for nothing. We'll be just fine

We don’t need Canada to feed us we have many farms many USA companies many USA stores we don’t need Canada food Canada drinks Canada items we can make our own clothes we have our own cars

American here.. please dear God.. Canada!! Do what you have to! We support you!! Stand by you. Please don’t forget, this is definitely not our greater America, and are ready and willing to do what we need to. We’ll suffer with you to get to a better America.

Lets hope our nation serves as an example to other nations to be faithful in protecting your democracies or you will fall just as it seems we will here in American. Canada and Mexico need to protect their borders with vigilence not just for us but from us as well. Trump may well want to invade and controls all areas of our government and is gathering up vast amounts of money that he could use to do just that. As diabical as he is dont forget the kind of people he surrounds himself with and also the fear he can instill in those people when needed to do what they may disagree with.

Canada you don’t need USA \nYou were in eu, we are happy to trade more with Canada \nWe in Sweden, we have stop buying American groceries and we buy Canada groceries \nI hope all in Europe do the same \n?? ??

I don't support any of this tariff crap, but neither do I support these liberal parasites. Canada needs better leaders.

Canada is absolutely minute compared to the US. They need us more than we need them.
