Trudumb, a friend dose not take and never return generosity. The current administration is just demonstrating how much of the American tax dollars go to Canada. About $300B, sounds like you all get more than any US state. \n\nFYI: Canada has the best fence in the world…it’s called the United States of America!!!

On the outside we are made to believe such things but I know behind the scenes things are different. What have you done to your own people? No one is perfect and no one party either demo or repubs, there are going to be good and bad. I just want more good vs the bad. Why are you talking about America, worry about Canada.

Hey Wolf and friends lol....if you Libs don't like it.....go live in Canada with Justin. America

AMERICA, CANADA and MEXICO NEED TO UNITE. He sold us out to RUSSIA!!

Canada, you are America best friend.

_Trudeau can fix this by purging his position as Prime Minister to governor of Canada becoming the 51st state of America_

Canada wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for America, they’re not self sufficient. Cut off the child support and make them the 51st state.

Electricity, oil, steel, lumber, water, and potash, are just a sample of what Canada supplies to America. Good luck! You are going to need it.

I'm an American who did not vote for the boar in the white house. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Greenland and Panama. Trump is behaving as if he made a deal with Putin to destroy the American economy and America's international relationships. We are making enemies of all our allies.

The 23rd Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudea will go down in history as the guy who stood up to the felon and sex offender Donald Trump. The so called 47th President of the United(?) States of Mid-America. Trumps playing Whack-a-Mole with his closest neighbours and European Allies. They aren’t going to forget what he’s and his supporters are doing.

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but he speaks in a calm rational manner. He is polite but firm. I’m an American and although I agree with some of Trumps ideas, being rude and not thinking things through before acting, is inexcusable. We have enemies all over the world and now we have even turned our friends against us. The drug problem is an American problem, not Canada or Mexico. We can’t keep guns from entering Mexico, arming the cartels, how can we expect the Mexican government to keep drugs out of America?

America got one big madness President at the White House. We believe he already open the Bank of America to receive 25 percent from Canada ?? , 25 percent from Mexico ?? and another 10 percent from China ??. These tariffs (taxes) are for US government work? Trump is that Federal government himself. Gurrentee the prices will go up .Trump does care about the poor but himself. This is very bad for partnership with Canada? Trau speak the truth

Trump being played by Putin and severing our excellent relationship with Canada our good neighbor and harming us in the process wake up America this d not good.

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.

Canada is going to make it through this. America is boned.

I am American and I stand with America. We do not need Canada or Ukraine lecturing us on politics fueled by globalist elitists. What a joke.

No winners? Your gravy train with the US is over and you have the most to lose. The US has been asking for fair reciprocity with its trading partners but you are causing it to be demanded. Canada has a population about the same as one state California. Trump has opened the US up to extracting and using its own oil, mineral, timber and other resources which we have lots and lots of. Just a matter of time before America is rid of the parasites on its ass.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

You’re out right lying bring our industry back home to America we don’t need your Canadian crap. The way you treated my native ancestors were awful the way you treated the truck drivers were awful you’re awful. Bring our industry home. Buy American Canada. Keep your crap. You spewing fear you want us to be afraid like you control your citizens out of fear yuck.

Proud of Trudeau, and your father would be proud. Canada will endure ?? Brothers and sisters of America, wake up! Trump is doing Putin’s dirty work!

I am an American. I want to apologize for our idiot president. With luck he will be gone soon. America loves Canada. Trump just likes to hurt people and break things fo his boss, Putin.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS JUST ONE THING . DOES AMERICA SUBSIDIARY ACTUALLY COMES INTO CANADA LIKE AMERICA STILL EMPHASIZE?\nAM BELIEVING THERE'S SOMETHING MORE INTO ALL THESE STORIES THAN TRUMP WANTING TO TAKE OVER CANADA. \nUNTIL THE GOSPEL TRUTH IS TOLD. WE CAN CONTINUE TO DECEIVED OURSELVES

I have so many issues with Canadians not understanding the end game. We wont need Canada in the US and sooner than later America will be prosperous without The country or provences involved. We'll see, the endgame is previewed by this clip.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

America need to no longer depend on outside countries! Canada Mexico most of central and south America have taken advatage of America!

Drugs is nothing but an excuse… Canada isn’t sending drugs… we don’t have the population to make enough drugs to supply the USA. That’s literally the dumbest excuse and if Americans believe that they are dumber than I thought. If your having people or drugs coming in to you country then fix whatever your border agents are doing that’s allowing that. Use your head America… you’re loosing your freedom to a tyrant.

Wish we in America had a president this put together. I stand with Canada

Bye America, buy Canada!

America is now the enemy…a nation allied with the murderous regime of Dictator Putin’s, Russia. \nI’m Australian & I am disgusted by America. Americans might say that they stand with Canada or Ukraine however, tens of millions of you voted for Trump in 2024 & you knew his level of tyranny, his ideology, his policies, his criminality, his intentions. Many, many millions of you decided to not vote at all! The blame is squarely on your shoulders! ?

What the hell does America expect when you attack Canada economically, threaten to annex Canada and repeatedly insult the Canadian Prime Minister. Canadians are fed up. And Canadians are sickened to see the USA cozy up to Russia and abandon our ally Ukraine.

I love Canada we in America support canada

A move to weaken neighboring states, is a pretext for the occupation of Canada and Mexico. So rusia occupies Europe, china Asia and Africa, and US occupied N and S Americas

my Sincere apologies from me an America. I have such respect for Canada and have so many friends who come to Phoenix and AZ and such wonderful loyal Canadand?❤️❤️

I am American and I support Trump and 100% trade war .....Trudeau is Lying ....nobody is Hurting America !!!!! We will buy from USA not CANADA and your tariffs are higher for USA than ours were for ages...~!!!!!!!!! You are dumping stuff to USA with high tariffs for a long Time~!!!

I disagree! Donald is not a “very smart guy.” Canada, do not give into America. Don’t let Trump win.-Signed an American.

Trump is not an Opponent of America, he has proven he is a Threat to America,........we apologize to Canada n Mexico for such a Corrupt Individual Trump is and Better Days Ahead,........!

Trump only cares about America first and Canada will be America! So there’s no need for security that’s bullshit part just a lie

Not sure why its surprising that Canadians are united against this trade war. We dont put up with this ? ?! The absolute gall of America to blame fentanyl on Canada, when it has been killing Canadians since 2016. Lets not even touch on the illegal guns imported in from the US. They certainly arent hopping on a plane from Mexico. Just wait for whats coming, as Our Allies are watching us and we are aligned with the world on our side ???

Canada has no cards. Canada is simply a little follower of United States of America.

Canada you are standing strong and proud in this unnecessary, unwarranted trade war. You have much respect and admiration from this US citizen and many others.\n\nUnfortunately, our sitting US President is acting as though he thinks he is an Apex predator. America is going to seriously regret letting this man reach this level of power.

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

,Yeah Donald you think you can punish Canada go ahead you want.our water our gas our oil our minerals our health care our good manners and our humanity you 34time convicted criminal thanks for destroying America

America is ready! Bring it! MAGA.. we know how china, is using Canada and Mexico to bring in goods while we can’t sell our own goods in other country’s. Canada is chinas friend

It’s time for Canada to join the EU . Becoming a member is almost done anyway as we share so much more with them than the Fragmented States of America. The cheapening of “ America” is tragic to watch. Your White House has never been so gaudy.

Keep your head up Canada !! Sending love from America, and on behalf of all americans, we apologize for this mess. Allies today, tomorrow and forever

The more I read the comments of different news articles, the more I realize that we as a world, and a species, want to be united as friends, hand in hand but our leaders are trying to keep us divided. I hope we make it through the next few years alive. And when this nightmare is over, I look forward to the world coming together, be they people of Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, and America.

Canada is our closest and strongest ally and Trump is a lunatic. He is greedy and will destroy America as we know it. He is not smart man nor a savvy businessman. You are so right, Putan has him in his back pocket...

Can't wait to move to Canada tired of this circus in America.

Please do not call Donald Trump and Elon Musk the government of the United States. They are the idiots of America. I am an American and I will stand with Canada and the rest of the world against Trump, Musk, and Russia. I wish Justin Trudeau was the POTUS! We don't have a POTUS, we have an orange grifter in chief. He is deranged, spoiled and stupid. Our largest trading partner and the orange clown fucks it up, wow!

I so want to live in Canada! America has lost it's mind! But Canada has sane leadership!
