I don’t think that Trump’s Tariffs have anything to do with Fentanyl. His aim is to isolate USA from their allies, he wants to gather as much money as possible to pay for huge tax cuts to the richest oligarchs. This is all about greed first and the destruction of democracy second. We are so much more vulnerable as a nation at this time. I love my Canadian friends, please don’t think that us New Englanders support him.

What makes them an ally and friend what do they do for us? I know what we do for them.

American here, trust me, we don't want this either. This administration has done nothing but harm to us. I'll always consider you a friend, Canada.

Much love to our Canadian friends from the people of Ukraine!\n❤️???❤️

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

For many decades, cold war had been with Russia, not with our friends Canada & Mexico. Best speech by PM Trudeau. Point to Point and truth.

What America gain from Trump Bully Policy toward Friends and Allied ?. \nYep, we have to agree with Canadian : Don is Dumb ?. \nGood you Canada ❤.

You are not our friends !!! - hey how about you open a free\nElections ! And aren’t you retired !!! Measures - that back the USA ?? don’t speak to me !!

Why didn't you government do this way before the threat become reality. Why were so many of resources given away to US? friends don't expect loss for either party

Well I can say that Black people has nothing to do with all of this. WE have been fighting for peace and equality for ever and ever. I will admit that I do not understand politics but we understand Hate in the worst ways. I also know no one should hurt there friends. This hole thing makes me Sad . All I can say is I am sorry.

As a Mexican-American it really makes me sad seeing our relationship with our long friend Canada crumble.

I can't make sense of the way that Trump and his lapdogs are acting. Trump is not my president and he doesn't speak for me. This is going to kill our friendships and Trump would rather be friends with Putin than Canada and Ukraine. I am so ashamed of these actions. Please Canada stop buying all American products and double the taxes. Don't put 25 percent put 50 percent on any of our products. Make Trump pay for his stupidity.

What’s this? Friends don’t overcharge their friends.. they should be fair. it’s a two way process. Grow up.

Many of us stand with our strongest friend and neighbor. This is not what the people of the U.S. desire, it is not what we want either. The government that stands against our friends and allies and we are using our voices in hopes someone who is sucking his teat takes a moment to come to common sense. We are not a great nation in this moment and my heart aches for the many impacted from this rediculous moment of arrogance, name calling and isolation from the world

The worst administration in American history. The US are quickly running out of friends thanks to Trump & Co.

sad when a leader of one democratic country has to explain to another country's people what the realities are of voting for a despot and where hate gets you in the global community - in their hip pocket even before they get satisfaction from the hate vote they chose over friends and allies

nobody wants ww3 so lets all just be friends even with dictators this man just wants to fight

Trump’s rich friends who can’t compete with Canada have paid Trump to make things more expensive, so they can gouge Americans with high prices we need to accept, because we now have no alternative.

Canadians had already started boycotting goods from US, elbows up friends! ??

Pmsl have you herd this moron he’s been no friend and his people hate him

Howard Stern was good friends with trump too

from Poland: Guys, why are we doing this? I mean why are we fighting between allies, like here in Poland US has a strong and long-lasting friend, but somehow this administration is ruining it, although we pay our fair price for the defense, as well as we host many US companies that help us shape our economy. It's a win-win. The only country that benefits from all of this is Russia. OK, maybe Iran and China are also benefiting, but Russia the most...

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

Beware of all religions. “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves.” –(The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 7: 15)– \nFor God is our true Father. So never worship and pray in the way of the many false prophets of all religions. \n“But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you openly. \nIn your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. \nThis is how you should pray: \nOur Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, \nYour kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, \nGive us today our daily bread, \nForgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. \nAnd do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. \nFor yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. \nAmen. \nFor if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” – (The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 6: 6-15) – \n \n“Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” – (at Matthew 7: 1-2) – \n \n“In truth I tell you, if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” – (at John 8: 51) – \n \n“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. \nEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” – (Matthew 7: 12-14) – \n \n“I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. \nThe thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” – (John 10: 9-10) – \n \n“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – (Matthew 7: 21) – \n“I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and any one who is alive and has faith shall never die.” – (John 11: 25-26) – \n \n“I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” – (John 12: 47) – \n“Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” – (Matthew 10: 32-34) – \n \n“I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” – (John 14: 6-7) – \n \n“An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” – (Matthew 22: 35-40) – \n \n“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” – (John 15: 13) – \n \n“Do not call any man on earth ‘father’ ; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’ ; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.’” – (Matthew 23: 9-10) – \n \n“Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” – (Matthew 24: 4) – \n“Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. ” – (Matthew 24: 11-13) – \n \n“Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” – (Matthew 28: 20) – \n \nYours, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, on Tuesday the 4th of March 2025: – (Please read Matthew 5: 14-16) – Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often, as prescribed above, before it is too late.

This why you're My good friend and always

I stand with you, Canada and Prime Minister Trudeau. I love that you have a reasonable, decent, humane adult leader, Canada, and not an insane, bloated, screaming orange toddler. I'm so sorry America has allowed this to happen, and I'm grieving for our formerly friendly relationship. Not all of us wanted this. Please forgive those of us who stand with you and our allies and not with Tr*mp, Vance, and Putin. I love you, Canada! ?? ? ?? ❤

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

From America ?? I say THANK YOU Canada ?? !!! You’re Standing Tall to the lies!! The Dictators! Canada HAS and Always will be our Brothers & Sisters, Friends !! ❤ Bravo to the BRAVEST!!!

TRUDEAU AND BIDEN WERE BEST OF FRIENDS. BIDEN WAS A FOOL

Americans should book Russian courses so that they can communicate better with their new friends. Maybe communism is the better way for America, as time will show

what bullshit from ignorant uninformed anti-American sources. We aren't unaware of our generous history as apparently Trudeau (who historically has not been a friend of the United States) is (as well as the anti-American critics posting comments) and so we don't feel guilty of anything but trying to level the playing field.

Our allies are finding out just like we did that this criminal is bought and paid by Putin. He’s not your friend Donald Trump is the enemy of the state and the free world.

It's truly unfortunate that this is all caused by 1 person, who no longer has a system of checks and balances on him. I feel our relationship with the U.S has come to an end. We need to have closer ties with our friends in Europe, and secure more trade deals with the EU and Great Britain.

I am a US citizen and will never call felon47 my president. He cares nothing about our country or citizens not to speak of how he has lied about and treated our Canadian friends. Thank you for doing what our own legislature will not do, stand up to this tyrant. God Bless Canada, and may God save our country!

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

If this is what the usa think this is how to interact with friends you need no more enemies. And as Mr Trump loves deals so much he may be wanted to be treated like a dealer. Well...

How much will this affect the price of a plate of fries and gravy? Asking for my friends in Maine

As an anxious autistic British American I will always stand with my fellow Canadian friends this is beyond diabolical I’m so disgusted for the people that voted for this convicted felon president ??‍♀️

Wake up America! Your former friends are rallying against you.

The US has no longer has friends. We are now a predatory state, and a threat to a rule-based global order.

America new friends North Korea/Russia/china and Iran, you voted for a man who don't have ?️ head

I am an American. My tears are falling. You're our friend.

Wow, Trudeau we actually want peace for Ukrainian people and for Russian people. You chose not to want to meet the U.S. to establish fair trade deals. I would consider you not a friend or ally. When you misrepresent the Truth that tells us alot about you!

Whoever is enemies to friends and friends to enemies is sick and not worthy or capable of a government post.

It’s really annoying that CNN continues to babble on instead of letting Trudeau finish his press conference and then proceed with their responses. Our country is in the hands of a madman along with Musk and other cowardly Republicans who are in office. For all of those who voted for Trump, wait till energy and other costs rise, but it’s a shame we will all suffer as a result. Canada is our friend I am ashamed right now to call myself an American.

It all makes sense. Everything that doesnt make sense does make sense if you look at it from the point that Trump is a puppet of Putin.\n\nThen everything, from Ukraine to whacking friends, to underming his own people, starts to make all the sense in the world.

While trump is destroying any friendly relation the US had, hes also killing his own country just to help Putin gaining power. I can't believe so many americans are still backing the orange menace

People have got this all wrong, first trump is not smart. 7:50 Trudeau is saying that canada and the US are friends, they are not, now that trump is in office. People keep framing this as friends of america. Trump is aligned with Russia, so everything you thought is the opposite now.

crasy crasy trump and his administration \nDelirium delirium delirium for trump!\nCanadians and his Prime Minister are proud of their country and for human rights and freedom!\nusa is not now a friend \nusa is a friend for dictators like russia and poutine or north corea and mafias organizations and Netanyahu and destroyed Gaza and countries around with moneys from usa and trump with arms for millions and millions of milliards $\nBye bye usa\nStay in your crimes \nStay in injustice actions\nWith your gods $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Many, many Americans are not in favor of these tariffs. I grew up in Buffalo and Canada has always been our friend!
