It will take decades to recover from the damage done.

Dear Canadians,\nI'm so sorry for how the leadership of my country is treating you, one of our closest allies. I've spent a fair bit of time in Canada and I've always had a great fondness for you.\n\nI hope that this storm passes soon, and I'll be doing my part to help it pass, and I hope that in the future we can begin to repair the damage done to our relationship. \n\nWe're better together. All of us. \n\nWith love, \nA caring American

I'm an American. I'm with you Canada. Keep up the good work. Trump and company have to go. I pray before they have done irreparable damage to my country and yours.

This clown done more damage than trump ?

Remember, thus is the tyrant who turned off people's bank accounts in the middle of winter because he didn't like people disagreeing with him.\nCanadian Supreme Court later found this was illegal but the damage had been done.\nCanada has had tariffs on American imports for years! This is a bully whining that he is finally being called out.\nTrudeau is a puppet of China.

I believe that the ultimate wet dream of Trump is to have a bigger nation ie. performing hostile takeovers of neighboring countries and of strategic importance for him (Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and others). For that to function, he has agreed with his best buddy Putin to allow him his share of the Europian countries. China will probable be on the same hostile takeover trip all over the pacific as well. He and Putin think that they will loose out against China otherwise. What the poor man doesn't realise is that the community of the UN were and are the best deterence against China. His willingness to break that up will actually lead to a very big world dominating conflict. The clear thinking US politicians need to act quickly before more damage is done to the American people and country. He is on the path of destroying vital friendships to pay for his sick qunon infested mind...(eating cats and dogs....say no more)

Trudeau has done so much damage to Canada it is 100 times worse than anything the tariffs will bring.

I absolutely loathe Justin Trudeau and the immeasurable damage that he has done to my country over the past ten years. That said, he's 100% correct here.

Canadian here, for the past month we've been boycotting US products. Most of our grocery stores now put Canadian flags on Canadian products, and our liquor stores have removed US imports from our shelves. Canadians have a very good memory, the damage has already been done.

Do people not get that Trump is just trying to reverse damages done by the last President? There is debt tied to be paid and he is helping his country.

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

That bullet has done more damage than we thought.

It is dustbin Trudeau who brought Canada's economy to the ground without any US tariff, and he is in his way out after losing support from his own party. He can say anything he wants, but the damage is already done.

Just 4 months ago, this rat Trudeau said America made a mistake in voting for Trump, instead of a woman. Americans voted and overwhelmingly chose President Trump. Justin Trudeau should rather try to repair the damage that he has done to Canada and let the Adult Trump run the US.

If Donald meets Putin to tell him to get out of Ukraine to the 1991 borders and repair all the damage he has done, then I might think more positively of Don.

This clown does not speak for Canada....he has done far worse damage than any tariffs can do to us.

This man and his liberals have done more damage to Canada than Trump ever could. Trudeau is such a drama queen. Maybe drop the act, stop laundering money, and smuggling drugs. So worried about the tariffs - you have done even worse to us with your BS carbin tax. All you liberals are completely corrupt.

Just like last time, Trump will back down and claim he won! The damage Trump has done and continues to do...for no reason...is a direct attack on the USA. Trump must be removed and jailed!

Dont you all realize that what we are doign is equalling the percentage as they do to us , yes everyone has there opinions but the fact that we as a country goes and helps other countries but when we have a president that really cares, and bet none of you do your studys on these issues, see you all go day by day with out a clue on whats going on , its ok for other countries to take advantage of us and hurt us but its ok right its ok for countrys to hurt us as thte same for democratic leftys its ok to hurt us, i say hell no its not ok , for once in are life we need to help the Americans period , grow up people seriously grow up , trump is doing what should have been done a long time ago , biden did to much damage to much

I don't think lifting the tariffs would make things as they were again. All these threats to make Canada the 51st state have done damage that cannot be erased with any economic policy

Trudeau is a joke period. Trudeau has done more damage than Trump ever could and that's a fact.

FORMER luxury hotels being the key word. Once they’re all out they’ll be really pleased with the amount of damage done by people who don’t believe they need to take care of their own spaces. Every one of those hotels will get exactly what they asked for and no one will ever want to stay until they are torn down and rebuilt from all the damage. God bless elitist liberals in NY who don’t have to be anywhere near the crime and struggle but feel good about themselves for inflicting it on American citizens who can’t afford to live in penthouses. Hey libtards what comes around goes around. Maybe not in this life but I wish you luck in the next.

Even though you explained why I still can't even wrap my mind into the blatant STUPIDITY!! NY City elected officials need to be prosecuted for the damage done to a Once nice and truly unique city.

Problem is, the damage has already been done and the democrats have already met their quota of new democrat voters to tip the electoral voting system in their favor. Unless we get all of the illegal immigrants out now (which isn't going to happen) we are fucked.

Adams stance is this: He wishes for the law to be enforced, because he knows the damage it has caused to the city of NY, which he was elected represent, and the citizens whom he has the charge and duty of safety and maintenance. But he's been ham-strung because of the leftarded Governor, Hochul. He wants to follow the desire of his constituency, but cannot because the Sanctuary City Status is out of his control, because of Hochul. Tom Homan stance is this: If that's truly the crux of the situation, then you will do everything within your power to assist the Federal Government Law Enforcement Efforts. To hinder any effort would be seen as a criminal act, and he would be the first to feel the axe. Hochul is next. So, yeah...whether he's cooperating because he truly wants Law and Order, or to save his own arse. I care not, either way, so long as the job is done.

Just looking at this is depressing. The fact there's so many people who hate themselves that are rooting for the destruction of their own country is beyond words. We have Trump for 4 years but what happens after that? Next Democrat that gets elected just opens up the borders again and the cycle begins again, but each time more permanent damage is done to the country.

A nation can recover from the damage of outside aggression. The will of the population will rebuild and recover.\nA nation destroyed from within cannot recover because a corrupted people have become the source of the problem.\nThe radical far left knows this. they have infiltrated our systems and overrun the Democrat party. this is why all of these destructive ideology and policy take place in democrat run areas. The public is tricked into helping them destroy our nation, all done under the guise of racial, social and humanitarian justice.

The Democrats have done irreparable damage to our country and cities. Literally treasonous!

Canadian here. The Canadian Pm already resigned, I hope he can just keep silent and say nothing from now on as he have already done enough damage to Canada the last 9 years. Canada don’t need him.

Best for Columbia's president to do the right thing & accept them back now. If not all Americans will view him as dumping his nation's trash at our doorstep, which weakened our national security & had done imessurable damage, upon which I'm certain President Trump will take swift action against him as an example to the other nation's leadership, and you don't wanna be THAT GUY! They cross Trump at their own peril, but the guy's a wizard at destroying people, places, or things, even your ideas if it pleasures him. Both parties are have rediculously long memories & do hold grudges. Case in point, Cuba. They never will allow Cuba to be anything other that a floating rock prison. Please do the right thing & take YOUR people back. We're at least giving him the bennifit of knowing who they are, and what they are BEFORE they can hurt your nation & act accordingly & it'll all be good. You need a little help, just reach out & let us know. We're here to work with you, not against you.

It will take President Trump years to repair the damage done by the Biden Crime Administration...

It's about time... unfortunately too little too late...... The damage has already been done.

Too late!\nThe damage to Canada is done.\nHealth care destroyed.\nSkill-less newcomers\nIncredible financial benefits\nAbility to still live and work in yr home country.\nMulticulturalism failure.\nMultiple Passports.\nOne Passport only.\nBring skilled labour who actually speak English.\nI know people who use Canada as an Instant Teller and health care while still keeping a home in their home country.

The damage India and Indians havs done to their own reputation over the few years is astonishing. Maybe look inwards instead of blaming the outside world.

Asylum seekers unchecked. Even to check if genuine or not could take years and decades. The damage is done. Curtailing legal immigration is going to throw the ratio off.

*It's not enough.* It needs to be *ZERO!* \n\nAsk any Canadian in confidence and I bet you 95% of the time they're extremely *unhappy* with the past and current immigration rates. They'll also say there are *TOO MANY NEW CANADIANS.* Even 70% of polled immigrants want immigration to stop. The damage is done. The country is irrevocably changed because *ONE* guy in *ONE* party thought he knew better than 35 million Canadians. It needs to *STOP!* NOW!

Still to little, still skip dancing the rules. They still under appreciate the damage they've done. There will be a change because young adults are not sharing this dystopian dream they've created. Why am I living in mom's basement. Why can't I save money. The list is endless and without a major course correction only going to get worse.

Anyone who has a slightly better option is leaving... low quality immigrants and fake asylum seekers, horrible immigration policies allowing scammers get their way, horrible liberal policies turned Canada into a tax heavy, low income, impossible-to-own-anything country just like the UK ans Australia. US, however, is way smarter than Canada by putting strict quotas for certain countries. It's too late for Canada. Damage is done.

We have Unemployment and Homeless issues here in North America. Why should we make the problem worse by opening up our borders to Illegal Immigrants who are practically invading our Country and taking away from our Citizens who are already paying the price for damage done by our own Government.

1- Trudeau should be sent to India 2- stop ⛔️ all immigration programs to Canada until cleanup done 3- deport all student and temporary workers and refugees from countries where there are no conflicts or trouble 4- start cleanup of Trudeau damages, yes it’s still possible to act by retrieving permanent residence and even canadian citizenship from those who came as student, temporary workers or refugees. Only those who entered Canada as legal PR after being through the normal RP process deserve the Canadian citizenship and the RP… after all cleaning done, Canada should review all its immigration programs, and open its doors to only those groups who didn’t abuse the Canadian system example europeans

A little too late. \nThe damage it’s done.

Figures they are in Brampton. One of the top 10 worse places to live. One guy said he supports his family so he therefore sends money overseas and limits support of the economy here. Stop ruining this country. You have done enough damage already.

Not imploding yet. NO housing crash yet, not even close... Typical governments = Years creating the problems , and years pretending to fix the problems. $....sick. STOP all immigration NOW, for years to come. Too late, all lies, the damage is done. And it did not start under Turdo... For over 100 years home prices went up and down in price properly, 2, 3, 4 % with inflation, job raises....reasonable, slight increases....sometimes minor decreases... all fair and affordable. Starting around the year 2000, prices started to spike up, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300% while interest rates went to almost 0. Same with rent price increases.....crazy prices over the last 10 years....25, 50, over 100% price increases......Over 20 years of kaos. And now look at the mess you greedy government parasites, unions, bankers have created. Mass immigration, major government growth - spending – debt – control..., super low interest rates, mass immigration = crazy housing, rental prices......poor Canada, what a mess created by all you greedy governments, all political parties.....The only way housing prices get back to where they should be is a crash...bring it on.....the sooner the better. Right now, it’s all grossly overvalued. STOP all immigration NOW. Bring on the crash.

The damage to Canada's economy and society is already done. Even if we replaced the corrupt government tomorrow and replaced it with a good government it could take decades to recover. The Government of Canada combined with Bank of Canada turned the economy into one giant Ponzie scheme. The Trudeau government literally used immigration to attack the living standards of working class Canadians. We are a corrupt, undemocratic country. A debt slave colony.

Where was she with Scamala and Biden. Trump will care less what the Mexican so-called President says! Damage is done big time in US!

No point talking about Trump’s tariff threat now! Damage is done! Stupid American people have voted, now deal with it!

Justin Trudeau you're too late to take this decision because the damage is already done by your stupid 'diversity'. You are going to be held responsible for the immigration debacle in Canada under 'diversity' scheme. You have brought a wrath to Canada.

Well because someone needed votes so bad that they broke r Laws for. And they want it all forever and for free. Amazing that no one is responsible for all this damage done. Most must have criminal records. But with no respect for r own people. We do not ever want them back after this?The Presidents from everywhere r responsible for this and expect president that steps in January to fix the fuck ups!?Well guess Trump and Elon Musk will have to send robot dogs to round this mess up. WTF It's disgusting to see such disrespect ?‍???

Too little too late, they’ve known of this exploit for years and are only acting now after the damage has been done to save face before an election

See, I know this is wrong. But we have to be honest I am an Indian but moved to America. I stayed in New Jersey and the environment we created there is absurd. We made the place dirty, uncivilized behaviour and the list is long. This is happening in Canada too. Canadians identify everyone as Indians but the major problem they have is with Khalistanis. They have become a menace, gun violence, crimes and a shit ton of things done by these people. There is always a reaction and it is unfortunate that the innocent ones has to face the reaction. We Indians only look at the good ones as an example when it comes to Indian immigrants, but the chaos and misconduct is created by the rest of the uncivilized Indians who are huge in Numbers. My experience girlfriend was Canadian, her mother owned a departmental store she caught and called cops on many occasions were our peyare caught on camera stealing, damaging the store and also peeing right in the corner of the store. I saw all these footage. The major problem with Canada is most of the Indian immigrants that went there were uneducated and directly went to Canada from Indian villages, it's a cultural shock for them and during the initial period everyone behaved in a uncivilized manner. Please understand the root cause of the issue. If I am a guest at your house and keep on causing harm to your home and if this keeps on repeating you will end up frustrated.
