Canada needs to stop all oil and power to usa.

Ukraine has some experience with having a huge neighbour who used to be friendly, the citizens in each country seeing the other as brothers, but then an evil president takes power and turn the country into a dictatorship.\n\nBeware, Canada. If things seems bad now, the future could be far worse.

The American orange clown felon pscycho pig was voted to power by Americans.

If this is allowed to continue.. USA will look like Russia in a few years!\nNo doubt in my mind.\nThis is exactly what a DICTATOR would do! Make himself and his friends so rich and powerful, control the media, so no one can challenge you.. And in a few years time, there will be a incredible difference between rich and poor in America.. Just like Russia.. Like night and day! Those who are rich, are very rich, those in the middle class, will have less and less.. This is going to be a reality guys.. I'm sorry..

Canadian here. Trudeau is a ? . He's a slick double-talker who should no longer be out representing canada because he supposedly resigned weeks ago! Why isn't anyone saying anything about that?! Trudeau WANTS this trade war with the US because it is his last desperate attempt at clinging onto power. His party has been gaslighting canadians into accepting his corrupt ideology under the guise of being a liberal (trying to cancel elections, suppressing free speech, telling canadians they dont need to vote, etc). Wake up world! Do not judge a book by its cover! Just because he's handsome and has nice socks does not make him a nice guy!!

Please cut off power to our country. We are being held hostage by an imbecile.

It should be said the people who didn’t vote for trump are just as pissed off as the rest of the world. Remember that. Fact is in my opinion America hasn’t embodied the views it was founded on in a very long time and is likely a shell of what it used to be. Corporate greed and shareholders is what runs this country and it disgusts me to my core. Honestly I don’t wanna stay here and the more people I meet as my life has continued the more I feel like these aren’t my people and the more I feel that this place isn’t my home. I’ve no loyalty to my country anymore and I blame the greed and corruption my “people” have elected to vote in to power. It sickens and disgusts me and I am at a loss as to what to do.

Trump is losing favour in Canada too. Many supported him until the 51st state rhetoric started. Now he's actually allowing Trudeau to stay in power longer. The trade war is allowing Trudeau to stay relevant.\nTrump should have said I'm not dealing with Canada until Trudeau resigns!

I’m sure that mr Putin and mr Xi had never dreamed what mr trump is doing in these few days. He is throwing away 80 years of soft power and is unrolling a wonderful red carpet for China ambitions. Please wake up me, i’m sure this is a nightmare.

Trump will make American more powerful? but for sure less great.

Just cut the power. You won't wait 15 minutes for the phone to ring! Hi it's donnie ding dong sorry, could you please turn the power back on.

70 yr old American woman. Disgusted with these criminals in Washington . \nI support Canada ?? & Ukraine ?? \nTurn the power off Canada ??, turn it off

We have the buying power they will buckle \nLets Go !

Trump has just sped up China’s rise to dominance. Almost as if he has given up aspirations for being the global power.

Trump has an agenda, and it is to destroy America and the American people. Trump and Putin are in this together. Congress stop sitting on your hands and do the job you were voted to do, remove trump from power!

You go Canada give the orange Bully back his own crying because.\nThe power grid might shut down Washington and make 1965 and 1967 blackout look small.\nYou can also blow the grid and repairs will cost the us government

I Am A PROUD AMERICAN, \nI COME FROM A FAMILY OF HARD CORE COMBAT VETERANS\nSINCE. 1776.\nI Proud Of My CANIDIAN Ancestry On My Maternal Side,\nNova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario CA\nI Pray CANADA. SHUTS DOWN\nTHE MY OIL SUPPLY \nAND POWER TO THOSE STATE'S\nWho Think MAGA Spicemens \nWho Think ORANGE ? DRAFT DODGING CRIMINAL SUFFER.

As an American, Canada do what you must, this dictator who thinks he’s unstoppable and most powerful, needs to be tolled NO, if we Americans have to deal with higher cost, let it be so all of these crazy Dump supporters learn he is unfit for presidency.

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

Canada supplies up to 40% of American power so an export tariff would cripple the US, its economy isn't good

This is going to get extremely ugly when they shut power off to Northern red states.

It is not even about drugs, they don't care about drugs or people. It is about power and money.

25% on everything and cut power!

there is no logic to this\nimagine being friends with someone\nyou have an agreement with them\nand then they Rip apart that same agreement and stab you in the back for no legitimate reason\nyeah\nus Canadians are PISSED\nI look forward to Primier Ford cutting the power

Might be time to impeach trump already; before he suspends the God ordained Constitution; trump appears to be a liar and traitor: where is the golden age?; what the hell is maga?; need i go on about felony convictions; is everybody afraid of trump? God help us if he abandons Israel in lieu of more power and useless wealth.

The USA are the most unreliable country in the world at the moment. That’s what we think here in Europe. And we fear that the worst is yet to come during trump’s administration. We do hope that the mid term elections will block his power. But they are far away

As a US citizen... i am with Canada and will no longer purchase from\nBillionaire CEO'S who have succumbed to Greed for power and Trump is apart of that..

Shutdown the power grid its the only ,way to prove your point fast.\nThe power going off is the best act for Canada

Cut the oil, 100% tariff on tesla vehicles, and cut power supplies to the US. Watch Trump rush to the table.

Trump pandering the the strategic directives of the Project 2025 playbook and its architects empowered by Oligarchs. Sadly it’s includes setting the world on fire to bulldoze and dismantle democracy! It is the only way they are able to live in a new USA that promotes their shocking policies of dictatorship. Brace yourselves globally! Imperialism is back courtesy of DJ Trump & his presidency. Resist you must! Remember who you are! Fight back! Mobilise your communities, it’s left to the people to take back the power! It requires strength in numbers. The world watches & supports & prays for you! ✊?✊?✊???????

lol. Didn’t Trudeau just step down cause Canadians hate him so much & he ruined the country? ? This outrage at Trump is all manufactured. The only people mad are the elites losing power & their shadow puppets. lol. CNN needs ratings.

Cut the power show maga

The tariffs make sense from the position of trump being an ally with putin. trump is punishing countries that have supported Ukraine, thinking that if he weakens these countries with tarrifs, these same countries will turn inward and discontinue their support of Ukraine. I wonder how much putin has offered to pay trump if trump can strong arm Ukraine into ending the war, leaving russia with land stolen from Ukraine. Something stinks of corruption here.\nThank you for speaking from a place of power and truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

The US needs nothing from Canada. They produce Canola oil (poison) and tainted wheat. We don't need it. Love Canadians. Love Canada. But recognize that Trudeau is evil. After all....he pushed the poison shots onto his people. He is evil. He should not be in power.

Nothing Trump does makes sense. He’s an utter embarrassment. He’s making our country look like a backwards, oppressive, “pile of garbage”. If any MAGA bothered to research is life back to the 70’s and 80’s they’d find Trump was NEVER good at business. He was good at running them into the ground. He hasn’t a republican cell in his body. He doesn’t care which party or what ideology anyone is, so long as they’re naive and ignorant enough to buy his lies and bullshit. It’s just all about Trump. Everything he’s doing is contrary to making America great. Ironic that there are many so-called Christians who support him, when he fits the biblical description of the Antichrist a bit too well. It’ll take decades to restore America’s standing in the world, because that narcissistic, bloated, power-hungry, piece of shit wants to keep attention centered on him. He’s doing all he can to keep us stupid, and brainwashed, because anyone who’s intelligent, and has any level of critical thinking poses a threat. When will the orange Kool aid wear off?…and btw, I’m not a liberal. I’m not a democrat. I’m rational.

Psychos can’t be reasoned with. Trump is trying to collapse the economy so he and his billionaires oligarchs can further consolidate wealth and power

Dear Canada, please just know, I did everything I could to keep the demon from power. Please know that there are many here who do not follow the madman. We pray for all affected by this demon and it's followers. We pray for a much better leader. We pray to overcome our shame. \nI am sorry Canada.

It’s a no win situation. USA / Canada will not benefit. We’re living in troublesome times, where the quest for Power has taken over common sense and brotherly love. Tough times ahead. Brace yourself and be resilient.

???????? here,If there’s one thing I learned in university as a political science graduate, and I did take a US government course was part of my degree. I thought that there were so many checks and balances on the president of the United States, but seeing his actions, I am very confused at how he is not being questioned for his mental stability and his actual ability to lead your country I mean to what degree is the definition of treason not applied I don’t understand how the president of the United States can now align himself with Russia and destroy allegiances with friends and allies This is not seen as treason?\nTo my American readers… just remember the United States knows no better friend than Canada….. so does any of this make sense? How is it that we are the enemy now and your president wants to support Russia is he a Russian operative? How are you not removing this guy from power where are all these checks and balances that you always bragged about through my entire life ?

America will implode. Even Russia has said they are watching and laughing waiting for you all to get weak and for the rest of the world to turn their backs then I guarantee you China, Russia and those terroristy countries will join forces against them. It's sad seeing Aneica go from the most powerful country to the arm pit of the world.

? no justification? Commitments mean nothing, you have done nothing but talk for years. And attacking the US president shows that your grasp of power is fading. I wish Canada the best and hope they get a Prime Minister they deserve.

From Germany to Canadians: Canada has the highest respect from what's left of the West. Stay strong. Stay vigilant. Don't lose who you are and keep standing up for what is right. It's easy to say, but there are more important things in life than money and power. America has lost its soul. Let's keep ours and move forward as true friends and allies.

As an American, I say, thank you for standing up to Trump! We all pay the price for the fact that a bunch of fools thought it was a good idea to put an insane felon back in power.

Why are we not seeing more push back from American citizens? You clearly gave the power to a gangster, who's in bed with Putin. Are you gonna fix your mess or not? \nFrom the outside it seems that Bernie Sanders is the only one with a brain over there. The rest is just waiting for WW3 to unfold, and letting the billionaires run their country. \n\nYou're pathetic. Wake the f#** up please!

Canadian- Turn of the power to the US Northeast.

Sadly, it seems America is shutting down for project 25 and America first. When you look at how the people given power by trump, it is the only conclusion

The line has been crossed. America is now an enemy and axis power. Make no mistake about it. This is not posturing on the Republican side. It's deliberate, planned, and thought out. Trump IS on Russia's side.

People power always wins in the end.I feel the true American people will turn on trump and put an end to all this nonsense.as a law abiding English man I defend our friends In Canada.

Turn the power out in this ?. I stand with Canada!

America, back off or it gets worse. Power shut off next
