Protect from ALL enemies foreign AND DOMESTIC! Donald Trump is an enemy! I stand with Canada

It takes the PM of Canada to explain to the American people, in very clear and concise terms, the cost of having elected Trump. I've yet to see anything even close from any of our elected Democrats. But maybe, it has to come from someone outside, without the political baggage, even if we did have a strong, articulate political opposition to the Trump and the feckless GOP.

As an American who lives on the Michigan/Canadian border, this WILL have a serious negative effect on small business. Including my carpentry shop that relies on multiple shipments from Canada per week.

justin talk like, canada way better than Panama hahahahahaha

From UK ?? and we support Canada ??

I was almost born in Canada but because of an thyroid illness they did not aprove my mom to come to Canada (late 50`s) So my dad and grandfather decided to stay in the Netherlands. I have a soft spot for Canada........ could have been my home country. Good luck to all of us against dictators and bullies in this world. Who would have thought this will happen after 80 years of peace after a terrible world war and now becoming a threath again because of a few, so called wise men but actually todlers that never want to give in.

This will hurt both countries, the difference is that Canada still has friends.

I am so glad he is standing up for Canada. I am so glad that Trump is standing up for America! See how that works. That's how it should be.

Prime Minister Trudeau, you are wrong about 1 thing. donald trump is not smart. he is a TOTAL dumbass! You were probably trying to compliment him since he only responds well to those who kiss his feet, but don't do it. We Americans know what he is, know this is ALL his doing and think Canada is great!

Retract the Carbon tax immediately in Canada. Dah. Put a 100% tariff on Tesla.

I stand with Canada and if the USA now thinks it’ll find better friends than Canada and the UK, well, good luck with that… ???????

This makes me want to cry. Canada, do what you need to do.

Canada must become a state. ??

I hope EU steps up massively and stand by Canada in these trying times. ?? ?❤️??

Open it to Canada, US doesn’t matter anymore!

Don’t be stupid Trudeau, Trump doesn’t care immigration or Fentanyl from Canada, he wants to finish Canadian economy and invade your land

Brazilians also support Canada!

Canada, please just focus on your refugee crime first. and Chinese raising real estate price. that is number one problem. stop using tariff to cover up bad leadership led Canada to today’s crisis. tariff will only affect little bit but crime and rocket high house price.

I am proud to be in Canada, and I will stop purchasing anything in the USA. I had plans to visit the USA, but I have changed my MIND. CANADA ?? ?

All of Great Britain and Europe stands with Canada. KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD. And that is not America.

Trudeau is a puke Canada hates him. For some reason, they can't get rid of him.

We stand by you Canada. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. Trump for no reason made a War at his closest Ally. What a Fool. Deport him to Russia.

Canada, this American girl is sorry

Canada is and will be perfectly fine ✅

As a Canadian yes it will hurt us. But you news anchors gloss over the fact that canada is only being hit by the US, whereas the US is being hit by everyone you keep picking fights with. The US will be affected majorly by each country you lose favor with. You may be big and powerful, but you didn't get there alone.

Sorry canada ttump os a idiot

Starting to fall in love with Canada

I have a hard to believe that Trudeau, will stand witch Canada. I still remember the protest with the truck drivers.\nHe fled, and also froze their bank accounts.

Trump Administration doesn't care about America... I stand with Canada and Ukraine

What a great speech. This is exactly what Canada has to do. You can't back down from bullies. You have to confront them.

Canada needs to understand that they don’t hold a leg to stand on. Put a trade embargo on Canada! We don’t need Canada. Canada will collapse!

I’m in US and it’s so bad here, I can’t believe ppl voted for Trump. So PROUD OF U CANADA ??

I am a moron, and we all know it, I buy russia oil through Iran and ship it to Canada but supply Ukraine money for the war to fight russia, but I am a smart man said no one.

Canada stay strong! From Texas, USA. I wish you were our President!!!

Trump is only imposing the tariffs because Canada will not stop sending deadly drugs into the US.

I stand with Canada from Belgium ????

From Florida we stand with Canada

Don’t listen to this fool…Trump set tariffs so Mexico and Canada stop importing fentanyl chemicals from China. \nTrudeau is an idiot.

The tariffs will hurt Canada much more than America. Any rational thinking person knows this. Our Canadian stores will be empty and what is in them will double in price. You may not like to hear this, but you know that this is true.

Canada we love you! Greetings from Germany, please come to us to the EU. Herzlich Wilkommen, ihr seid herzlich eingeladen. Lasst du gute Verträge abschließen und wieder auf Verlässlichkeit und Ehrlichkeit setzen. ?✌️

It’s going to hurt a lot more Americans than Canadians 100% it’s time for Canada to start looking for new partners.

The UK is with you Canada. Well done. Excellent factual speech delivered directly to the American people. This is what a leader and head of state sounds like. Massive applause from London.

Our American government is pointing the finger at where the supply of fentanyl is coming from, but it does absolutely nothing to decrease the demand. The demand is OUR fault. We Americans LOVE drugs, and Trump should be blaming the American people, not Canada, Mexico, or China.

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

Europe will be happy to work with Canada and have access to Canada's natural resources in place of the US.

From Canada to all the good Americans that don’t support trump. We still love you and will have beers with you again soon. Good luck it’s going to suck for all of us. Dump trump.

I hope Canada don’t think we care or need anything from them?

If trump doesn’t stop his unjustified and stupid tariffs war, Canada, Mexico and other counties will crash and crush USA’s economy. It will take years for USA to recover if trump stay in place. The world will isolate USA.

So they want us to continue to pay more when we were already paying more than them. So when we want to make it more fair for us Canada is now going to throw a hissy fit. How about making it fair Canada

Canada should ban US ownership in Canada
