I am embarrassed to be Canadian. Trump is doing everything and anything to make America and the American people better. He is not responsible for canada. All we do here is whine and get into a well if you do this we're gonna do that pissing contest. Instead of us here in Canada doing anything to make Canada stronger and us not reliant on handouts. We got that little brother syndrome where we wanna be like big brother but don't have any power

I wish Democratic leaders in America would speak to the public like this -- explain what Trump is doing and why it's harmful to America. Democrats keep saying they're not in power, but why don't they use the power of the microphone every single day. This was a powerful statement by Trudeau.

You’re on your own Canada. You’ve been getting a free ride because of American tax dollars, and you do NOTHING for the US. The Bank of America is now CLOSED!!! We’ve been carrying you for almost 100 years!! It’s over. Spare us your Canadian BS.

He really doesn’t wanna play with Trump Trump a businessman that’s what America has become a business so it’s only fair if you’re gonna charge 25 I’m gonna charge you 25 right that makes sense

Trudeau, you're the good guy. You didn't even bully once... \nCongratulations again, America, with the best president you could have chosen... NOT!!

SHUT UP JUSTIN WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR PEOPLE YOU CUT OFF THEIR FOOD FUNDS DURING COVID BECAUSE TRUCK DRIVERS WOULDN'T GET A CALL WITH A TRUCK DRIVERS DON'T NEED A COVID SHOT THEY'RE IN THE TRUCK ALONE ALL DAY EVERYDAY, CANADA'S GOVERMENT, U JUSTIN , STOP ? LETTING PEOPLE, INCLUDING WHITE COLLAR CRIMINALS CHANGE THEIR IDENTITY, THEIR LAST NAME IN CANADA , INTO A HINDU , EUROPEAN or even ASIAN LAST NAME,\nBECAUSE \nCriminals plan on coming into the UNITED States and ROBBING USA BLIND BY COMMITTING USA CLASS X FELONY FRAUD AND THEFT OF ALL THE USA BENEFITS PROGRAMS.\nSTOP LETTING CRIMINALS INTO your COUNTRY and HIRE their IDENTITY because CANADA creates a WHOLE NEW IDENTITY CRIMINALS , so they can come into AMERICA and HIDE their CRIMINAL IDENTITY , CAREER CRIMINALS come into your country and CANADA GIVES CRIMINALS NEW FICTITIOUS IDENTITIES AND FACTITIOUS IDS giving them fictitious identities with fictitious IDs, so they can come into the United States and commit massive { USA class X FEDERAL FELONY FRAUD and THEFT of all the USA benefit programs.\nJUSTIN YOU ARE SUCH A LIAR BECAUSE MOST OF THE CRIMINAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS IN THE USA COME FROM CANADA THEY CHANGE THEIR WHOLE IDENTITY IN CANADA, CANADA PRODUCES FICTITIOUS BIRTH CERTIFICATES FICTITIOUS IDS FOR MUSLIM TERRORIST

re electing that businessman..was america's biggest mistake

Im from Philippines but i understand so much the situation in America they support the weong president for the second time. I dont understand why so much dumb voters in AMERICA same as my country. But good thing this time our president are on side of UKRAINE! If you're a voter you should not vote for the politician just because they are famous, vote because they have knowledge to lead your country.

If you voted for trump and you think this is good for America or middle class Americans you’re a damn fool

Yall are mad because America wants to play fair now, you're an ally not a state womp womp dont be mad when Americans prioritize their needs first. Tarrifs will make the lifes of all Americans better in the long run aka less taxes. Our country has been depleted and its time we woroked on ourselves. Prime example California? hole.

Lol Canadians will fight huh? You ride the coat tail of America and think we're friends. We're the people who empower your economy and protect your freedoms. You would think you would want to help us pay off our debt and generate our own revenue.

Everyone is.\nLaughing at America no, they're not.They're laughing at that idiot we have as a president enjoy your vote ?

Pay your own way Canada. We're not worried about you, you should worry about yourselves and fire this guy. He's destroyed your country and is only doing more harm. We're done giving you $200billion a year while we're going bankrupt. Also you BETTER invest billions in stopping Fentanyl from getting into America from your country. We are done asking for these things and has a president that is following his citizens will. So remember when you talk bad about our president you are talking bad about most of us Americans. Americans love Canadians, but don't abuse us or push us. It WILL not work out good for your country. America FIRST,we will no longer stay on the bankruptcy path and we're ending Fentanyl coming into our country. One way or the other. Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

Canada not the only country is mad, angry, disgusted by Donald Trump when the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said you're a smart man this is a dumb thing to do , Check out his face he's saying to Donald Trump you're not a smart man and you're dumb man . Bravo Trudeau as an American well said I stand with you and a large number of people in America stand with Canada.................................................

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

Canada won't stop the overflow of fentanyl into America, enjoy your tariffs. You're subsidized by America your words have no weight Trudeau.

Is all MEGA MAGGOTS fault to place America in those conditions. They’re the ones at fault for voting and believing a dictator, criminal, Putin puppet, felon. Now everyone will be eating S****?????? IMPEACH TRUMP!!!

Did they MAGA? No, so let's move forward from this, America! We ALL need to agree to be American 1st. Our safety is at serious risk, but we can still get the train back on track, if Congress can ALL agree to put America before any other internal disagreement. If The SCOTUS and the Judicial System will do the same. It isn't too late, YET. It's time to right the ship and our allies will support us, if our people will stand up, against the harm that this Administration is doing to ALL of us, as a whole. It's leaking hate into every aspect of our country. We're inundated with it and it's spilling out, into the world, affecting our standing.\n\nWe need an Administration where we can have normal disagreements and figure how to resolve them....find HOPE again. I'm tired of feeling despair. America, be the leader of Democracy. Keep your word!\n?⚪?

Remember that both Canada and Mexico came to America’s aid during the LA fires. ? \nThey have always been our allies and this is how we’re treating them. Shame on you, Donald!

America here, do what you have to do, Canada. These MAGA folks who back a convicted rapist should just go elsewhere. They’re ruining everything so orange man can enrich himself

You’re right. ? my family and I did not vote for criminal Trump but we will feel the hardship here in America.

Time to pay your fair share. The American taxpayers protect our entire continent with our Navy we should tax South America and the rest of North America and Greenland for protection. Look up the Navy numbers and look at how many boats we have. We are the strongest geographical Nation in this world. Because of the ocean surrounding us. Everyone knows that it would be damn near impossible to take us over but they're finding it far too easy to divide the American people. Find your nationalism.??????

Proud of our Prime Minister and appreciate all the love. Cancelled our trippy to LA. in April. Sorry we'll miss it but we're done with this bullshit. Love you, America, and our deepest condolences. ❤️

So if you're that stupid to pick a fight with America wants to become Americans are you stupid

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

If you're not for America, feel free to move to Canada and pay their taxes.

Trudeau already said this nonsense last month. Virtually the same tariffs. Same points. \n\nCanada’s economy is down too and has been for a long time. \nTheir stock market is low. \nTheir RE is too high for its citizens. \n \nThey can’t win a tariff war due to attrition. And Canadians can ban together to not shop American as they been doing already. \nAnd none of you on this platform can do anything about that either. \nY’all can stand with Canada as much as you like. That doesn’t dismiss the fact that their tariffs on America was higher than America’s tariffs on Canada prior to this “tariff war”. \nAlso ya’ll can’t denounce citizenship and migrate over to Canada. Because they will not accelerate their process for citizenship. And will not accept the infinite number of you all.

It is time for Canada to fully embrace China and India as suppliers and business partners. \nChina can supply nearly everything that America can, faster, cheaper and a far better product.\nAmerica is a dying Country, thier citizens for years have elected the very same kind of people into their Governments. Old Stale Egotistical people who have no concern but getting re-elected.

You're going to learn to respect America and what we bring to the table. You've been sucking off the tit of the American economy with no appreciation of your neighbor... You're not going to feel and your people are going to feel what America really is in the world

What is it all about! , The top 1% want the war machine wants and needs war! To give the false sense that we’re all united against the enemy! Europe is no longer a battleground for war. The Europeans are too smart! Wag the dog scenario, create an enemy for America And use Canada as the battleground so simple.

Try and go up against America economically, you’re about to get your ass handed to you. You wouldn’t help protect our border until we threaten you with tariffs. Best of luck!

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

America is at war with Canada! Why would Trump do this? We're Canadians some of the best most relax people ever.

When a corrupt man is telling you you're too corrupt to deal with, common sense would dictate that might sink in. But America hasn't run on common sense for about a decade now.

President Trump’s tariffs on Canada are essential to protecting American jobs and industries from unfair trade practices. Trudeau’s corrupt leadership has exploited the U.S. for years while failing to curb the fentanyl crisis that devastates American communities. His government’s scandals and suppression of dissent prove Canada is no longer a reliable partner. These tariffs aren’t about punishment—they’re about securing America’s future, restoring fair trade, and putting American workers first.

Trump make America great again you're the best lider Trudeau is like Democrats

By all means have your Canadian fight against Trump and the United States. Just leave Russia and Putin out if you're criticisms. This is a problem between Canada and America!

Shut Up Governor, don’t be pissed because America finally decided to charge tariffs which you have charged us forever!!!\nYou’re a dumb ass and a communist marxist!

Trump stays true to his name and trumped America in oblivion. We’re here at the end, when the greatest empire has to fail, just like all the great empires before ours.

I love Americans, you're always welcome here. Trump has the right to do what's best for America, but Canada needs to start building a strong partnership with more stable and predictable countries like China and certain EU nations. No more blindly following the US in their foreign policy endeavors and wars for Israel.

Question: if we’re (USA) is North America, Mexico is in Central America, and Brazil is in South America, is Canada North, North America? Just asking.

No winners in a trade war. No winners in a Trump America. \n\nCanadians should be proud of having a smart, wise, handsome, rational leader. Sadly, ours is the polar opposite, a bloated tragic excuse for a president. As one of MANY millions who voted for Kamala, we join Canadians in the fight against these ridiculous tariffs that Trump initiated. We're ashamed of him. This Trudeau speech is very very honorable and articulate and resolute.

All you Americans in this post are committing treason when Trump are doing this for America. If a country invades Canada who do y’all think they’re going to call on. The United States.

Isn’t Trudeau a gay dude married to an old woman get him the f out the therrrrrrrrrr we’re taking all your shit America motha ffffftttruuucccaaaaa

Isn’t Trudeau a gay dude married to an old woman get him the f out the therrrrrrrrrr we’re taking all your shit America motha ffffftttruuucccaaaaa

As a UK citizen living in Canada, I’ve seen how much the U.S. has damaged its relationship with Canada, and I don’t think things will ever be the same. I don’t even blame Trump—I blame the American people for electing a corrupt criminal.\n\nThe reality is, Americans are going to feel the consequences far more than Canadians. You’re the only NATO country without universal healthcare, your education system ranks among the worst in the developed world, worker protections are almost nonexistent, social security is severely lacking, and now, thanks to your election choice, you’ll be paying at least 25% more for groceries under a leader who’s steering the country toward authoritarianism.\n\nIt’s embarrassing. The world no longer revolves around America, and people are tired of its self-centered, individualistic mindset. It’s time to wake up.

I don’t stand with anyone except the UNITED STATES Of AMERICA! But I want to make something very clear. We just went through 4 years of absolute hell with The Biden administration!! No way around it. And the democrats will do anything to make trump look bad no matter if it hurts our country or not. They simply hate the fact that the checks and the cross dressing and what ever nasty crap they spent our money on . They won’t talk about that! But what I want to know is why we aren’t saying ok Canada we spend trillions militarily protecting you. And the won’t even come up to the 2% on defense they lied about participating in. Why should we pay for everything then they want to tax us?? Should America not get something for protection of a country?? Why do we need to pay there bills? Why should we pay for a war we’re not in? Ukrainian war Americans pay?? No! Canada dosent defend themselves Americans pay?? Then when we tax them like they tax us they want to slap a gift horse in the mouth??

Trudeau sucks! Canada sucks! They're like a pesticide to America that has fed of us!!

Trump is an idiot, a traitor, a crook. \n\nWell done MAGA America on voting in this moron TWICE.\n\nI'm not Canadian, they're too nice to write as I have. However my feelings are shared worldwide in the democracies than America now shuns.\n\nYou'd better start learning Russian. You don't deserve to speak English anymore.
