Lol this is hilarious. Keep crying because we Americans prop up your whole economy. Get wrecked . Lol Canada has done absolutely for the well being of America with allowing narcotics and illegal immigration . Your borders are only safe because AMERICA stands as a bullwork between your country and the majority of our hemisphere . Im sure this is done as a prep to annex Canada lol . Its literally a typical business hostle take over . It isn't going to hurt my feelings lol .

Has anybody told the Moron that the King he is so proud to have been invited to a state visit with is the KING of CANADA I am sure he is really impressed with the Moron wanting to annex a major portion of his realm and diminish one of the largest countries in the world to 1 state.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

Please annex Minnesota!

Trump seeks to weaken the United States, force Canada into the 51st state, annex Greenland, restrict Mexico economically, repossess the Panama Canal and put it all at Putin's feet. Trump is pursuing Putin's agenda at a time in the history of the earth when climate change is opening up the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole to industrialization and commercialization along new routes never seen before . Trump's policies do not benefit the American people at all, but rather the economic potential of the Russians, The King of the North.

Trade War. Threats of Annexation. Turning on Ukraine and disrespecting Zalenskyy. Aligning with a brutal war criminal and KGB minded Tyrant. CANADA IS DONE WITH THE U.S. (not all Americans, we know that, but KNOW THIS, it's 1/2 of YOU and that's your problem, and you made it ours). ELBOWS UP ?

Prime Minister Trudeau, can you annex America so we can have common sense leadership again. You and Ukrainian Leader Zelensky are true leaders. Trump is hurting our allies and most of all us Americans. Just know i and many other Americans did not vote for Trump, a criminal and womanizer, I as an American stand with Canada. Go Canada,!!!!!

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

I'll say what Prime Minister Trudeau couldn't say.\n\nThe US President and half of the nation's population are modern day Nazi's. They blame 'outsiders' for their problems. They fund genocide and advocate for ethnic cleansing. They blame their economic woes on other nations and attack erstwhile allies. They threaten to annex other nations.\n\nThese are all things that Adolf Hitler did in Germany. The similarities are remarkable. \n\nCanada is strong and most importantly, united. There's no question that we will get through this.\n\nThe United States is weak and incredibly divided. I fear for the chaos that is to come and for the other half of the population that are not Nazi's. This is what it was like to live in 1930s Germany.

Trudeau was naive, this was never about the drugs crossing the border. \nThe tarrifs were never EVER going to leave. Trump is using them as a weapon to harm both sides of the border and destroy the alliance that would unify and stand against Putin. \n\nThat's what it's about, destroying alliances, annexing canada, and using tarrifs as a means to do it.

America is now run by a communist sympathiser and supported by communist friendly media its leader has already stated he wants to annex Canada, America must now be treated as a threat to all Western countries and isolated from all treaties as its future now lies in partnership with Russia

Trump wants to cripple Canada to annex it so he can have rare minerals for tech. Then he’s closer to Russia for his future plans!

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. I am proud to be Canadian. I feel sad for both countries. Can't believe that no judge is declaring the National Security argument as unjustified. I thought this was not possible to impose this without voting it properly if national security is not a real threat under the US constitution... And the argument of trade deficit is such a weird concept. Would Trump agenda be more evil here, and use economic force to force Canada to annex them because they want our resources?

ANNEX CANADA . 51st state!!

Canada annex the U.S.

Heys guys, I think you in the USA would be better asking this President to annex you until you can get rid of Donald for good...??? I'm from a country across the pond (Portugal) and this is the kind of guy I'd like to make alliances with.\n\nThat freak show trap your #1 and #2 put up for Zelensky last friday was sick. The civilised world really needs to unite and help eachother in every way and the guy you put in charge doesn't seem much into it. United we win!

FACT IS that Canada turned this into a trade war!!! I say this as a Canadian. It didn't have to be this way. Canada died 10 years ago. Annex away Mr. Trump.

I am an American living in the deep blue Northeast US and I stand with you, Mr. Trudeau! Feel free to annex us if you want. I'll help!

This isn't about drugs or immigrants, it's about land. T is riling his base up enough that he can justify sending in troops to annex the country and impose US martial law on it.

Please annex us!

trump is looking for excuse to annex Canada. The same as putin does. But the other way. Bravo Trudeau??

The really sick thing is that it was trump who signed the Free Trade Agreement himself in his first term! This is part of trumps project 2025, put the Canadian economy in shambles to make it easier to ‘annex’, he has a God complex, he will even ruin his own economy so he can fix it before the mid-term election, so he will be a hero! He is a vindictive person who will not honour what he agrees to, he throws out accusations and insults with a sneer and wants to be Putins friend! So many Americans are horrified by their Governor trump! He wants a military base on the Northwest Passage, that is why he wants Canada!

Can Canada annex the US. We need your leadership.

its about wearing down a nation in order to take it over. you have to report more about annexation of canada and links to russia. investigating election legitimacy and bypassing the bribed supreme court

TRUMP IS SETTING UP TO ANNEX CANADA. Canada's allies in Europe are now well focused on Ukraine and Russia, a US national emergency is being manufactured in that critical resources will be withheld by Canada, and Putin's bum-boy gets to live out his fantasy emulating Putin.

I'm Canadian and I highly dislike Trudeau. But he is correct when he asks how do you negotiate with someone who wants to annex your country? I would suppose Trump supporters would have no problems with a hostile and aggressive foreign property developer targeting their homes. The world needs a strong America but you have lost your way. I fear the world is in for dark times

Oh, if you could only Annex us Canada ! We are being held hostage by a madmen! ?

Trump tried calling Trudeau “governor” as we had already agreed to annexed, like Austria in 1939, to become his 51st state. Trump is unhinged. He’s anticipating our lumbar to go up in price so he’s going to start mowing down American protected and heritage forests. What a ****** man.

come on, Trudeau! This is not about him doing what someone else wants him to do, he wants to even destroy the Canadian economy so he can easier annex Canada. T. is not interested in anything else than revenge and his own advantage, he does not care if people despise him, for him it's only about power and money. In 4 years he is gone again and won't have to worry about anything, because he got the money he raked in within his dictator years, and won't ever look back, not giving a fluff about Americans.

Can you annex us? I am from Minnesota

As an Australian I stand with Canada as a British Commonwealth nation and a respected ally. Trump wants to mark his leadership as the “Greatest US president” by annexing Canada and Mexico. This is USA risking WWIII to enrich Trump and his sycophants with oil, minerals and weapons sale.

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

“The one thing he [Trump] has said repeatedly is that what he wants, is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy. Because, that will make it easier to annex us; is the second half of his thought… \n \n“We will never be the 51st State. But, yeah, he [Trump] can do damage to the Canadian economy… Let us not fool ourselves about what he seems to be wanting.” \n \n“This is a policy decision by the American government, designed to go after the Canadian economy… We’re booing a policy that is designed to HURT US!” We’re insulted, and we’re angry… We’re going to fight.” \n \n\t\t \t\t\t– Justin Trudeau (4 March, 2025)

Maybe that Donald guy is just taking his revenge on America first.\nHe already stated that Canada and Mexico are to be annexed and we all agree that he's doing everything he said so far, literally. If he really moves his 100k+ troops out of Europe as he said I bet my ass that these soldiers are going straight to the U.S. borders, just like Russia did moments before invading Europe. I assume he'll stop there, anyway. Otherwise it means I'm in a coma at hospital right now, and all of this is a weird fever dream.

Trump wanted to annex Canada into the United States. He ended up annexing the United States as one of the Soviet republics.

They didn’t play the clip where the Prime Minister says these tariffs are about destroying the Canadian economy so Trump can annex Canada. He is speaking the truth. Trump needs to be removed!

Mr Trudeau, would you please annex the state of Arizona? Thank you.

Maybe Canada can annex the US and we can get this intelligent president instead of the orange buffoon,

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Bully Trump wants to annex Canada. I stand with Canada and Mexico.

I am not a fan of Trudeau, but no one doubts his spine when it comes to threats to the country. America isn't leading anymore, it's trying to destroy its allies and instead forms alliances with dictators. Try to annex Canada and get ready for 40 million insurgents.

This will lead to us annexing Canada as a State, quote me in a year ?

We need a leader like this! There is no legitimate reason for the tariffs. I now believe Trumps goal is to annex Canada. At first, I thought it was a joke, but not anymore. Stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico!

Maybe canada should annex america and kick trump to the curb

F TRUMP! He should annex himself.

Wouldn't be suprised if the plan of Trump is to put maximum pressure and weaken Canada to annex them later on. Woudln't be suprised if Trump made a deal with Putin to trade Canada against Ukraine (or eastern europe).

After a couple of years Trump and co will say, that Canada started a trade war against US. Just like they say, that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started the war with Russia. And now some uf US commentators are saying the same. It’s crazy. And there will be no way to get him to remember the facts. He and all who work for him are liars and half truth tellers. I’m not sure how to deal with this. But it is VERY important for all media outlets to keep reminding the facts. Just tell what happens, so there is a record. I think that could help in the end.\nSo here are my 5p:\nUS started trade war against Canada with 25% tariffs.\nRussia annexed Crimean peninsula and attacked Ukraine in 2022. This is the truth, no two ways about these facts.\nTrump and Vance are liars.

Please, annex our democratic states into Canada so you can be our President. ❤Canada Ukraine

Dont ever give in to the Authoritarian regime . I am so impressed that PM Trudeau was so frank with everyone. It is true, Trump wants to weaken Canada so that he can annex us. I suspected that he used the Pentenyl excuse and illegal migrants as a legal front to impose tariffs on us. We really should shut down the electricity.

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.
