Hey Canada, Mexico, the EU, stand up to China?! ?

Canada is great eh, i'll be eating my $3.00 CAD eggs tomorrow morning with my $1.50 Starbucks coffee. Tariff away

LOL Canada can be crushed.

We don t supply them tho so jokes on Canada ❤

The real reason US put tariffs on Canada: \n\nCanada has zero nukes- so they have zero deterrence. The USA has 3,748 nukes. \nCanada has zero aircraft carriers. The USA has 11 nuclear aircraft carriers. The entire rest of the world has 16, but only one is nuclear. \nCanada has zero destroyers! The USA has 65 Top Tier destroyers. \nCanada has only 85 operational fighter jets, but they are outdated and scheduled to be replaced. The USA has 2,740 with 786 being the latest Gen. \nCanada has 82 Leopard 2 tanks and only some are third Gen. The US has 8,100 tanks and they are all third Gen. \n2.3 million Canadians own 12 million guns, but many are low caliber and low use/capable. Canadians privately hold about 2.3 Billion rounds of ammo, but most is smaller caliber hunting rounds. \n81 million Americans own about 400 Million guns with extensive capabilities and usability, including permitted full automatic. The storehouse of privately held ammo is massive in the range of 2 to 25 trillion rounds. \n40% of Americans are raised in a gun culture and develop and hone their weapon use skills for a lifetime. 22% of Canadians have a similar gun culture. \n \nCanada has gotten away with having a weak military and saving enormous costs by not having to produce or buy military equipment. \n\nThe USA has never charged a fee for providing deterrence to potential enemies, and in fact pays Canada on a massive trade deficit instead. Canada exacerbates their precarious situation, by continuing to take guns away from their population.

Don't worry Tariffs are paid for by Canada I really do not know if he is so stupid he believes that or he knows and does not care either way it is so dumb and hurtful to think otherwise. The last time tariffs like this were in place was the late 1800's and early 1900's. If anyone know this time it was the time of the oligarchs like Rockefellers Carnegies that road the backs of the everyday Americans making them the richest people in the world. Notice a theme here, I do!!

GO CANADA!!! Greetings and lots of respect from across the Pont.

I guess it's politics Mr. Trudeau.\n\nA PM who protects and harbours Khalistani Terrorists for political reasons is surprised Trump is making policies for his political reasons ... \n\nTrudeau has reduced Canada to the impoverished 51st state of the US ??.

Dear sir, may I join Canada?

Time to strengthen EU-Canada relations.

As a Mexican, I get why Trump is angry with our narco govermment.. yes we a fukd up , but WHY CANADA¿¿ I mean Trudeau is a useless liberal fool, but I think this is too much

Initiate a brain drain by easy transfer of American professional credential into Canada. EZ ?

I love love Canada and love Canadian ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This China loyalist dumbo would ruin Canada til the day he's removed.

❤❤❤❤canada❤❤❤❤

Go Canada ?? We Stand With ??

Its the guy that ruined canada

This dude is a CCP puppet straight up. we should just invade Canada...this dude has not been our ally in a LONG time. He bows to Xi straight up.

BOOM! Now that’s a Leader! Thank you Canada and Trudeau. ?? + ?? = ?

I am a Cuban American totally ashamed and angry at Trump's betrayal of Canada. I stand with the Canadian People.

I as an American hopes Canada wins this trade war.

Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

My family left Canada in the 1920s after fleeing slavery in the US. Any chance we can come back??

So, he's just going to do the same thing as trump? If tariffs from trump are hurting US citizens, won't that hurt canada even more as well?

Some persons were just talking about their sentiments on their personal point of view but looking at US point of view, know that the US trade deficit (Deficit exists where US import from another nation to US exceeds US export to that nation from US) with Canada exceeded 58 billion dollars in 2024; with Mexico is more than 170 billion dollars in 2024; and with China is more than 295 billions dollars in 2024. In the Philippines, Philippine entrepreneurs and the like who are exporting their products had been enjoying tax incentives (It does mean when exports live the country versus imports being received by the country then) as Philippine export earning is the one making the Philippine economy richer with money gained while import is making the money to go out of the country (going out as cost or expense) then while being revenue of another country (so that the profit of a country which is revenue less the expense is obviously what is the truth about any argument about tariff (which in a way is discriminating the deficit in becoming wider and wider to the pleasure of those who loved imported goods then).

‘This is escalating’ the trade war?!? No. Canada’s response is bringing it closer to even.

Canada got screwed by US

The irony is that as an American, trump makes me want to move to Canada. Can I seek asylum in Canada on grounds of having a deranged fucking idiot as president?

True American Patriots stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Civilized Nations that were US Allies.\nWe do not support those who stand with Fascists Putin, Maduro, Bolsonaro, Un, Orban and Their puppets: president muskrat and his Sloppy seconds

Canada aint usa closest friend or ally, Israel is\n\nSee how none of American gov dares say anything against israel???

There are winners. Becasue America don’t need Canada as much as Canada needs the USA

If I could afford to move from the US to Canada I would move. I am so sick of Trump’s destructive behavior. He’s a very insecure and unhappy person and the only way he can deal with it is by making others miserable. He doesn’t need reasons for implementing new tariffs. He does these things to demonstrate his power, because he’s a class A bully. Canadians, stay strong. We’ll see you this summer when we =action in BC. Your country is clean, safe and the people are so nice.

Canada is more American than USA rn

Why is it our fault to ask Canada to not put huge tariffs on our goods? All they have to do is drop the tariffs on our products and we drop them on their products.

Very straightforward condemnation against the Trump administration on these tariffs. Trump is looking for trouble at the expense of the citizens without thinking about the welfare of the people. Trump wants to bankrupt Canada because it has ample resources and Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. It is quite impossible to bankrupt Canada because it can always expand its international trade to other countries, like Europe, etc. Do not tolerate the bully. Salute to Trudeau for being honest to confirm that there are no winners in this stupidity.

Trudeau and his lisp ?? The USA doesn’t need Canada Canada needs the USA - You mad bro ??? I love ❤Trump ! He’s got this liberal douche panties up in a knot !!! I think it’s hilarious- Donald Trump nor America gives two ? about Trudeau or his tariffs- DJT is genius

Our borders aren't safe. Trudeau opened up our borders to allow all these immigrants into our country and mow have ISIS terrorist here in Canada. Trudeau is the biggest terrorist in this country. We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for Trudeau. He is the biggest liar. He put Canadians at risk. Since Trudeau got in the suicide rates have gone up and it's Trudeau who is at fault. We are fed up with what he has and continues to do and we are feeling completely lost with how we are going to get out of this mess. Canadians want an election for our prime minister. We want Trudeau gone. We don't have any faith in our government officials.

Strong leadership! I stand with Ukraine, Canada and Europe!

MAGA BABY!!!!!!! Trump is back baby!!! Canada piss off and grow a set!!!

I have always loved Canada and I cannot believe how awful Trump is treating you. I wish we had a leader like Justin Trudeau.

Trudeau is gonna start a war and America will wipe its ass with Canada.

What a liar! Why was Canada already charging the US higher tarrifs, answer that scum bag

Hey Canada! I'm jealous....what's it like having a leader that isn't a stupid, ugly, fascist?

News flash we don’t need Canada.. ?

Good sprit GOD BLESS YOU CANADA

Canada England France Poland Germany NATO please please please please please liberate us here in the United States from dictator Trump

Canada....please annex the US West Coast!! Save us!

I'm sorry Canada.

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

PM Trudeau probably didn't thank us enough today. And he is wearing a suit. Why mess with Canada? ughhhhh
