STOP! The Canadiens are not our allies. We, here in the United States of America, ARE FREE PEOPLE! Canadiens are Socialists, you are not a free people. You have no way to self correct by free elections. Look at what TRUDEAU did to those truckers. No accountability! Look what they did to President Trump. WE THE PEOPLE SPOKE...and now retribution. Canada needs to adopt a similar system. Trudeau is a piece of shit!

Trump has destroyed trust in US allies, and it can ont be repaired easy. Trust can be destroyed in minutes, but it takes many years, maybe decades, before it can be gained again. It affects not only what US experiences right now with Canada and Mexico. Be sure that even Taiwan Australia and all other Asian allies are questioning right now if USA can be trusted. Imagine, Trumps breaks a treaty with Canada and Mexico which he personally has established in his first presidency and sold to his people as the greatest deal that has ever been archieved. Tells you a lot about US credebility. Trump is right now destroing world order which has been established mainly by USA after WW2.\nI heared, that there are rumors, that Trump might be a Russian KGB agent since 1987. I don't know if that is true, but it would explain a lot of why Trump is acting as he does - it is not in the interest of USA, pressurizing/blackmailing/offending/humiliating US allies and destroying US and foreign economies. This is practically enacting a wishlist of foreign dictators like Putin and Xi Chin Ping.\nIt certainly will not make America great again, but poorer, weaker and internationally isolated. it will be US people that will suffer the most.

Wow, Trudeau called the president Trump by his first name and then called him dummy. What a leader Trudeau is, a real model for the rest of the world. He is so brave and courageous. Uhhhh.. actually he is a -wether- and he is just too stupid and blind to know it.

Its still unbelievable and shocking that such an unintelligent and idiotic man as trump could be president of the US

The racist and the racist whites and blacks and all other racist in the United States voted for this guy and corrupted their friends who were innocent and didn’t know who to follow brainwashed them to vote for dump trump and you see the things he do and being good friends with Putin and the United States are stuck with him for another 3-4 years that’s how bad it is in most parts of America welcome to corrupt freedom and there it is but hello to our friends who still stand for democracy and the real presidents that run the country the right way we still follow behind you Obama Biden Kamala Harris and the other Democrats and not delusional republicans to stand against dictators and evil corrupt officials and evil corrupt people in this world! ???????????????????????????????????????? ??????

Woke doesn’t work…. President Trump finally is giving my country back to the people. It is time my tax dollars stop paying for other country benefits. Maybe your leader should stop talking out of both sides of his mouth. Finally proud again post forced illness. Wake up people!

Trump is the president that the USA wanted but the world didn’t deserve

I can't stand CNN = Communist News Network, and I don't care for Trueau but I'm going to have to stand with him on this. Trump is being absolutely rediculous that is going to hurt the poor and working class poor in both countries, Canada as well as America. I sincerely appologize to the Canadian people because my President who said he would make America great again has instead lost his mind and has went off on some insane tangent that will not hurt him or his rich friends (On both sides of the political fence).....Now Mexico that is where the garbage is coming from.

Trudeau can shove his talk to Americans! We aren’t idiots that he appears to treat Canadians as! \nTrudeau is in the hands of China! It is so obvious he looks completely pathetic! We know that only 1% of shipping containers coming into Canada are screened! Think you might want to check those “Containers” Justin! If there’s one thing that Americans have learned, “Liberals Lie”! They do it constantly! Oh and Justine, that’s “President Trump” to you, you pos! \nAt no time has Trump kissed up to Putin! You have to talk to both Parties when trying for peace! You can’t ignore one side in a war! Trudeau is a corrupt lying creep! Are you still wearing the friendship Bracelets from Brittany Spears Concert?! Soon you will be forgotten among Canadians and the rest of the World!

President trump just did a huge achievement, US president is not any more the leader of the free world, US is not anymore in the free world leadership, broken 100 years of friendship and alliance. \nHuge achievement endeed!!, now US is on the side of Putin, a criminal dictator, who is being supported by China, North Korea and Belorussia.

In the UK a trump is another word for fart. America your president is fecal matter and gas ???

Losing Canada as an ally is the lease concern for Trump most importantly he has please Russia (Putin) as his master. Congrats to the electorate that voted for Trump for making the best choice . Trump best president ever ???.

truly vice president vance is gas lighter acting like trump watchdog..

Let me correct Trudeau actions. Trump isn't a SMART person and that was evident at every meetings with others president

Well, if 25% tariffs existed, I don’t think Canada can do anything about it. President Trump won’t stop until it’s solved. That’s for sure!

Bravo Trudeau! You are the right president for Canada in these unique times. Keep the international alliances, Canada 1st and Canada for Canadians. The whole world is supporting all Canadians. The world does not need President Karen Trump and his madness, nor the world needs USA. It is extremely disrespectful what Trump and the USA goverment are doing. WE ARE THE PEOPLE, WE ARE THE WORLD!

I don’t agree with Trump but I’m trying to understand this….So he (Trudeau) punishes his own nation with carbon tariffs then tells his nation how tough it’s gonna be now that a foreign president applies tariffs…I’m sorry I just don’t get it…instead of starting a fight that will hurt us even more, why don’t he just let go of the carbon tax to help the suffering…\nIs he actually care or is it just politics ?

From SOUTH AFRIKA - Good Job President Trudeau. Trump has gone bananas, literally. In South Afrika Trump and Afriforum (racist Boere aka white racist organisation that misses and pushes Apartheid agenda) are causing havoc by spreading propoganda of lies about non- existing land grabs and white genocide. These lies are being peddled and given life by that Mars Alien - Elon Musk because we refused his SPYlink Satellite without an empowerment stake (Black Economic Empowerment - which is regulated due to past imbalances). He got mad mad and started working racist right wing organisation that misses segregation

Canadians are not that happy with President Trudeau, but compared to trump, he is 5 star President material. \n\nCanadians can be proud of how much their President has stepped up to manage this unfolding crisis.

REDACTED President Putin and Governor Trump and the Oblast of United States!

We need to make a democratic front with the EU, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and any democratic nation sharing our values in opposition to the US and cancel out the US during the Trump presidency

No one is buying the fentanil pretext. A great speech from Justin Trudeau. I sincerely hope the Americans will wake up and destitute this ''Wanna be Putin'' in Trump along with his mentally challenged vice president. Loved the intervention of former General Wesley Clark. I mean, when you served the US Army as a general, i'm pretty sure this man loves his country and hearing him saying he's totally with Canada in this issue. It's sums it all.

Today is 25% Trump Tariff Day.\n\nThis was brought on by our own government.\n\nTrump explained that Canada treats the US unfairly and have been taking advantage of them for a long time. \n\nHere is a list of tariffs Canada Imposes on U.S.\nGoods:\n\n⁃ Dairy Products:\n⁃ Milk: 270%\n⁃ Cheese: 245%\n⁃ Butter: 298%\n⁃ Poultry: 238%\n-Eggs: 163%\n⁃ Barley: 160%\n⁃ Wheat: 94%\n⁃ Sugar: 265%\n⁃ Peanut Butter: 295%\n⁃ Rice: 150%\n⁃ Vegetables: 100%\n⁃ Fish Products: 100%\n⁃ Lumber: 20%\n⁃ Shoes: 30%\n⁃ Cocoa: 30%\n⁃ Metals: 25%\n⁃ Wool: 30%\n⁃ Tobacco: 100+%\n\nTrumps responsibility as the President of The United States of America is to the American people. Not us.

tough talk but who will pay.......the citizens of Canada....and once they feel enough pain.....their politicians will come groveling back to President Trump just like he did last time

Donald Trump is a degenerate. He is not making America great, but weak. He has already quarreled with Canada, Ukraine, Denmark, Panama, Mexico, France. He has weakened the USA both politically and economically. He has introduced restrictions on freedoms. It seems that he is tired of being president and is waiting for impeachment. Because he destroyed more in a month than was built in the last 70 years.

And I STAND WITH MY PRESIDENT !! I believe you need us more than we need you . DONALD ! THATS PRESIDENT TRUMP !

This retired US Navy combat veteran stands w all our brother & sisters in Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Europe, NATO, etc!\nLet’s all call him “Donald “. or Trump, ANYTHING but President ?☮️???

This will take years to recover from...Canadians will not trust America while Trump is president. Everyone will suffer because of what captain Chaos is doing in the white house

Sadly, I was Very Startled by This Trade War. This is Very Unecessary!!! Canada Is America's Closest Neighbour, How can President Trump even think of doing this to Canada??? I am TREMENDOUSLY DISAPPOINTED with DT!!!!! This is not the way to treat your Neighbour and Allie. Shame . . . Shame . . . . SHAME On Him!!!

Love him or hate him, this was great and what a master class level troll. \n1. No reference to “president” \n2. Called him Donald, which trump hates\n3. Said what he was doing was dumb\n4. Spoke in super simple language - notice how he dummied right down when addressing trump

'Donald' - because 'Donald' doesn't deserve to be called President Trump.

¡ I really hope CLAUDIa Sheinbaum (MEXICAN PRESIDENT) answers So clearly and assertively to the TRUMP'S agressions against our NATIONS !

Trump need to be stopped. This happens when one elects an idiot for president. The US citizens did not want this.

Trudeau should be the last person to talk about making sense. Emboldened Khalistanis, encouraged illegal immigration, took the country down the tube. Radicals burning Canadian flag in the heart of Canada in pro- Palestine rallies. What step has he taken about it? At least Trump is “America first” president. Trudeau on the other hand is “everthing at expense of Canada”! Hopefully with right wing in administration in Canada, Trump will deescalate this. But all bets are off with him. \nAnyway, USA will never have Canada. People sacrificed themselves defending Canada’s sovreignty in the past. We will never give up Canada to anyone.

Canada's president is much more presidential than ours and he makes a lot more sense he's a far better leader than Trump

And now because of trump the terrorists that will be launch for my allies back to us what cause Mass inflation our president is failing us and it's only been 6 weeks wouldn't be surprised if one of his acts magical supporters ends up knocking him off soon

Americans should be ashamed of their president but i believed that not all americans is as arrogant as Trump.

I'm ashamed to say that our president is an absolute traitor to our allies and to its people. Somehow his cult followers were able to get him back into office instead of prison. Now all of us are having to suffer please do not lose faith we will figure out a way to get rid of the Trump regime once and for all as well as Elon Musk were so sorry about what they've done there will be payback for them for many levels just know that the United States people love Canada always have always will one of our greatest allies and our good neighbor. Sorry about Donald Trump he's a prick

Trudeau Should be President of all of North America. He just stuffed Trumps face in the mud. And made Trump eat shit.\n\nHow sweet it is. He is gutsy, brave man.

Canada already had tariffs on certain U.S. goods before the recent trade disputes escalated in 2025. Historically, Canada has maintained tariffs on various American products to protect its domestic industries, particularly in sectors like agriculture and manufacturing. For example, under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (USMCA), which replaced NAFTA and was signed during Donald Trump’s first term, trade between the U.S. and Canada is largely tariff-free for many goods. However, Canada has long imposed high tariffs on specific U.S. products outside of these agreements, such as dairy, poultry, and eggs, under its supply management system. These tariffs can reach up to 270% on milk, 245% on cheese, and nearly 300% on butter, designed to shield Canadian producers from foreign competition.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has applied tariffs on other U.S. goods over the years, often in response to trade disputes or to balance economic interests. For instance, before the latest round of tariffs in 2025, Canada had tariffs on thousands of product categories, though the exact scope and rates varied depending on the goods and trade agreements in place. Posts found on X also highlight sentiment that Canada has had tariffs on U.S. products like dairy and cars for decades, with some claiming rates as high as 25% on U.S. vehicles—though this may reflect specific cases rather than a blanket policy.\n\nIn contrast, the U.S. generally did not impose broad tariffs on Canadian goods until recent actions under President Trump, who introduced a 25% tariff on Canadian imports effective March 4, 2025, prompting Canada to retaliate with reciprocal 25% tariffs on CA$155 billion of U.S. goods. This retaliation built on Canada’s existing tariff framework but escalated the scale significantly. So, while Canada did have tariffs on U.S. goods beforehand, the current trade war has intensified the situation far beyond the pre-existing measures

I trust president Trump

Now this is what a president in a suit looks and acts like. Trump is not a president.

I'm from the US, a military veteran. President Trump is the best thing that has ever happened to the US

Donald Trump is a bully he was bullying Ukraine president ?

Donald Trump is a bully he was bullying Ukraine president ?

as mexican our president Claudia Sheimbaun thinks the same as Tradeau, when he says that all trump is doing against Canada , Mexico and China is not about fentanil,

Bum you are are the opposition what do we need from you crackheads. My President!!! Donald J Trump!!! not having that justin

Trump is the most stupid President we ever had. He's in it for himself, you can care less about american people

When Canadians boo the American National anthem at sporting events, please understand we love the people of the United States. It is the policies of your president that we are upset about. It is one of the ways the general public can make our voice heard on the world stage. We want the same things, strong economy, safe streets but this has gone too far. This is an excuse to force Canada to become the so called 51st state. America is beautiful, but dump the Trump. ?
