Ya wanted a business man??? There you go Trump voters!!! Enjoy what comes next! You all have been warned by the DEI lady!! You all joined the disrespectful bs hate game with Trump by knocking her down! Now some of you are begging for our help!! You all are a disgraced to our country!!! ?

Has nothing to do with friendship. Itis business. Usa not charety organization anymore. Sorry but it is true!!!

The world is learning not to do business with the US

Oh wow. Now everyone is a business expert. Cry to mommy DEMOCRATS

Canadian Federal plus Ontario provincial government already imposed 68% tax increase on my business in the last 24 months. Watching my friends close their stores and lay off employees while a black market guts whats left of us and we all have to worry about getting robbed by a 15 year old with a gun... Tell us a little more how much you care about small business'?

“I am Canadian, and I support Trump because our leaders are a joke. They delay pipelines, restrict the open market, and refuse to trust foreign investment from China or overseas. Instead of strengthening the economy, they bring in a million immigrants while ignoring real growth. If we’re going to rely on America anyway, we should join it becoming the 51st state would make North America stronger.\nIf Canada retaliates against the U.S., it won’t be the government that suffers it’ll be us. Our leaders look weak and desperate. \nWith 25% tariffs, Canada is heading for economic disaster. Companies are moving to America, jobs are disappearing, and our future is at risk. Look at Europe 23 countries share the euro and open borders. We should do the same by becoming 51st state.\nIt’s time to negotiate with Trump and secure real benefits more businesses, better telecom, cheaper flights, lower food costs, affordable housing, a shared currency, and the right to bear arms. Canada would be stronger and wealthier as part of America.”?? ??????\nWe are still Canadians

The current American Administration thinks that everyone will just bend the knee and be “D Riders.” If they say jump, they will ask how high. Nah…not everyone will do that.\nCanada is standing on business‼️

Ban all business with them

What I have loved most about the stupidity of Trump, his government and his supporters is that it has brought Europe and the commonwealth together. It’s made citizens of each country unite together at a time that there was so much division especially in Europe. People across the world boycotting the USA to show their, disgust, hit them where it hurts, supporting other business and bolstering our own economies, in doing so also supporting those Americans that did not vote for this. So much good coming from this.

Mr. Trump you don’t run a country like your business. Like Canada PM said it’s a dumb thing to do.

Bots are busy I see

Canadians demand that all business remove american products from their shelves...Make it easier for Canadians to buy Canadian only....Canadians have spoken....We support Canadian business....I live in Manitoba and I want to be able to buy products from Newfound Land to BC. I want to renovate my home with Canadian lumber, I want to eat Canadian foods, I want to wear Canadian clothes....Canadians have spoken loud and clear...we are doing our part, we want our gov to do the same so get rid of the provcial boarders and let Canadians show the US how Canadians put CANADA FIRST

Trade and should be reciprocated in the same manner as with business partners l don’t know why they have chosen this trade war Mr Trudeau chill blood you have to protect America interests as we should protect yours.

Turns out being a narcissistic wotsit is not conducive to doing good business.

Trudeau has no business speaking for us Canadians. \nHe's been run out of government, a scandal ridden bunch of hypocritical liers.\nHow rich it is listening to the biggest coward lecture us on unity and strength. \nTrump is no angel but the liberal party as it is now is straight up evil.

I think it was Margaret Thatcher during the Reagan administration the one who said, Americans are notorious about choosing stupid presidents. So, what to say about that? What I've heard from some of my friends is that they don't care if democracy is gone as long as their taxes go down. They want a lower income tax bracket. They're very single minded about issues. We'll see how we fair once you have to pay more at the pump, when the price of electronics go up, when produce and beef, pork, and chicken become unaffordable. Yes, the middle and upper middle class probably don't care, but the lower classes and the already poor are not going to be happy. Once people are hungry, then you'll see people on the street. Once the farmers start losing their farms and small businesses start losing their investments, you'll see people on the streets. Americans are not hungry enough yet. Just wait.

Canada may be in NAFTA but they have a ton of businesses that the U.S is not allowed because they are protected.

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

I’d rather do business with vlad than this muppet.

This isnt a personal Strike to Canada from the US, This is Business. \nSecurity isnt free and the US will not be hurt by this. \nFinally, the USA goverment is forcing manufacturung back to the US. \nThere is one winner from this and its not Canada. Mark my words. \nSpeaches like This one is only to peak the interest of ignorant and small minded people. \nWake up people. This is just Trudeau Using media to make it like Canada is being picked on. \nWill there be a Canada in 20 years?

Americans are being nice by doing business with Canada. We can buy our syrup somewhere else ? good luck Canada ?? ? We don't need you, you need us ❤ ?

Turdea it’s not Donald to you as your disrespectful to our President Donald J Trump. You were fully aware of 25%Tariffs. We the people have spoken and strongly stand and support our President Donald J. Trump. Business is business stop being butt hurt. It’s nothing personal just the facts and truth.

Mitch and Rand are shaking in their Glencairn and balloon snifters over this...but do not have the testicles to object to *RUMPS tariffs. Liquor sales and production are already down nationwide in the US, especially for bourbon...and they cannot afford to lose the business. Kentucky distilled spirits exports to Canada is an $89 million business. Gently inhale from your glasses, Senator's...Canada is going to give you a sniff or what's to come for your industry

American prices will rise across the board, farms will fail, factories will shut down, unemployment will climb and the US being a weak society will sit there and take it while the billionaires and corporations pulling the strings plunder the treasury and steal all the tax money. Sure Canada will take a hit but at the end of the day we will come out of this stronger and with the respect and backing of the world and America will be weaker and viewed as too untrustworthy and undependable for anyone to want to do business with.??

Liberals got business relationship with Canada, Europe, and China. That’s why they’re defending them so bad and they don’t care if that’s gonna cost US citizens all their pocket money.\nPeople elect Donald Trump by majority accept it

From UK: admire this gentleman you can do lots with EU and allies.. Business people can’t afford democracy and mentality of their country but instead they always searching for Money Money Money ??? lol

Good business people don't bully.

These tariffs have nothing to do with Fentanyl. This is Trump trying to access Canadian resources for free- that Elon Musk needs for his businesses. This is Trump paying back Musk the millions of dollars Musk paid for the Presidency of the United States of Russia.

It should be interest to all Canadian businesses using rigid plastic containers (bottles, jars etc.) that ALL of the major manufacturers and distributors of these products are American owned companies operating in Canada. There are excellent Canadian operations supplying these items at better pricing in most cases.

Businesses will be deregulated pollution will be off the charts all in attempt to justify this move and match cost

A Canadian business associate of mine refers to Justin Trudeau as a 'Useless waste of skin'. As an American, the idiom was new to me. I'd just call him a bag of crap. Canadians give him a 'flush' at your earliest opportunity, please!

It is so amusing that bots have been employed in full force to ensure all the comments are giving a shoulder to the PM to cry on. He at least finds himself useful after attacking mindlessly countries in the world whose security he has no business endangering .\n\nPOTUS is doing what is best for his country and his steps are revolutionary and will cause some pain in the beginning but the population at large should exercise patience and understand he is the only who can get them out of the abyss and also ensure all the people exploiting Usa for their wealth and support don’t do so \n\nPeople have been using USA to their advantage and here is a man who makes sense with his strategy \n\nThis PM speaks as if his tariffs are going to shake up supplies to USA \nHe seems to be living in a dream . Anyway he is going to be out soon \n\nAmericans hang out with POtUs . He is tough less tactful and polite but he means business

Let us be crystal clear, what's happening now, from abandoning alliances, to siding with adversaries, to starting trade wars with our largest trading partners, is the fault of a single man, Donald Trump, while being enabled by Congressional Republicans.\n\nMake no mistake, American businesses and consumers are going to pay a dear price for the decisions of this administration.\n\nLastly, trade is the remit of Congress from a constitutional perspective. Unfortunately, Congress has progressively ceded their authority to the Executive over the past decades. They simply must retake their power at the earliest possible opportunity.

what if the true rationale behind this is that trump actually want to do more business whit russia. because you know who got lot of oil and gas to sell? that good russian friend of course

For the racist Americans who chose an idiot who has the business finesse of a 5 year old ( bankrupted a casino where the house always wins...Damn!!!) sit back and cheer!! If you think ? the rich will bale you out then you are the biggest of A-holes. Enjoy the clown ? show and kudos to Canada!!!! Note: the key to drug abuse is not the drugs BUT the drug users and abusers. That's just a distraction people!! ??

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. ???

Very good clear view and good speech Not only the Canadians are unclear as to what Trump is up to or does he understand how businesses work a completely silly decision

UNITED STATES DOES NOT NEED TRUDEAU TO TELL US WHAT THE TARIFFS WILL DO TO US BECAUSE THAT IS NOT HIS BUSINESS. HE IS JUST TRYING TO USE A SCARE TACTIC SO THAT CITIZENS WILL PUT PRESSURE ON PRES. TRUMP TO STOP!! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS TRUDEAU!!

Canadian P.M. Trudeau and his government are supporting their citizens and businesses while my fascist government is throwing its citizens and businesses under the bus. I am a proud American but I support Canada. Be tough, be strong, be safe.

i probably have no business asking this question, because there's a number of people who don't care for Justin, but that seems to be the way it is with almost all leaders.\nMy question is this:\nDoes Justin Have To Go?\n??\n?️

I am from New York ?? but I am standing with Canada ?? all the way ? I am not supporting Trump or did I ever voted for this orange piece of $#*+. Trump voters and fanatics you are the blame for your ignorance. So go ahead cry on social media for your mistakes and ignorance you will never get a sympathy from me ever. I am done and I am standing on my business.

What's wrong Russia did wrong to Canada then why scold putin, you and others aligning with Benjamin is that justification ,US puts tariff on you too do ,why this step you are terming as wrong, simple business rule

All this nonsense because of Trumpskys stupidity in business and borrowing money from a Russian dictator that can never be paid back legally.

I live in Washington state. Spokane just raided 5 businesses that were engaging in prostitution and the employees are sex trafficking victims from China. Guess which border they came into this country from... CANADA, but the Trudeau says they don't have a problem at the border

Let's increase the business with Europe and build a wall to Trumpland...

“Make no mistake”. You guys love saying that as you have some extraordinary knowledge. Trump is one of the brightest business men in the world. He knows what he is doing. Canada has taken advantage of the US for a long time and Trump knows this. I’m not even from the US and this makes sense for USA long term.

It seems sad that it took an action such as the one the US government had to do, to make Canada realize that we should work together as provinces and as people. Canada knew very well that our big brother in the south has been fiscally hurting since years and had been racking up enormous government, corporate and private citizen debt. If this were to continue it would pull down every single country in the world. Perhaps if the US is becoming fiscally responsible, truly eliminate fraudulent and unnecessary spending and refocus on their local economy (just like China has been doing in the last years) the rest of the world and even Canada can finally focus on their strength and local markets. After all, don't we all miss our local stores, local artisans, vibrant neighborhoods with diverse businesses and a pride in having made in our own country? May I say that this Trump era will give the whole planet a new perspective for changing our ways, reliance on others and taking the easy and greedy road!

Absolutely clear, calm, and direct. Nothing left to say on this whole business.

Brother you're messing with a business man! You're the one going to hurt my friend.. good luck! Molon Labe

This will only push for every citizen of every country to buy in-house made goods. I am happy about Trump and each political imposter's from other countries representing their people that this has finally begun. Watch your domestic businesses thrive.
