With what people are paying for rent , grocery , etc… here in Canada?\nYou’re doing the same to your own people ?\nDon’t let this idiots fool you Canadians….they are just pissed someone doing it back to them.

Didn't Trump want to buy Canada a week ago?

Spot on. I left Canada because of all these issues. Any of my friends who are still there simply don’t understand that there’s a long term problem that has nothing to do with US tariffs. The country is weak, poorer than it needs to be, and not in a good spot due to focusing so much on real estate and immigration.

I wish I could say that America wasn’t responsible for the Tariffs, but unfortunately over half of my idiotic, hateful countrymen voted the psychopath into office, namely Trump. I am sorry though. Canada is a beautiful nation with lovely people.

Let's see how far canada gets playing this game

From France ?? - we support Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? !

I stand with Canada, Ukraine and all of our allies. Thank you for being a mature statesman and defending your country and its people. I am ashamed of our leaders and apologize that you have to even make this speech. ♥️

Very intelligent reply by Canada against a deranged orange FELON. Tariffs are really bad for everybody.

The craziest thing is that the trade agreements between the USA, Canada and Mexico were signed by Trump during his first term!

Pierre Poilievre for PRIME MINISTER KEEP CANADA ?? THE BEST COUNTRY WORLDWIDE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I LOVE CANADA AND PIERRE POILIEVRE WILL PROTECT ALL OF CANADIANS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bravo to BRAVE CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER and All the Canadian Citizens and all the PROVINCIAL LEADERS .\nKeep up ? with the good work ?????\nWe are good neighbors and friends with American Citizens .\nWe will not allow any one to ? BULLY ? us into subjugation and slavery .\nThe whole ? world ? is open for Trading with ,\n? CANADA ? . \nAnd we the CANADIAN CITIZENS and Our Country ? CANADA ? ???

Canada, with a weak military and liberal ideology, Communism is not great for North America. \n\nMexico with the zero Aircraft Carrier fleet... Stop. Get Help. \n\nDo better!

As an American citizen and lifelong military brat I am ashamed of what the US has become in just 6 weeks. Prime Minister and Canada I am sorry our disaster of a government is effecting you in this way. I stand in support of all of our allies. ?

I live in bellingham i support ?? ? ?? canada

We Filipinos support Canadians because a lot of Filipino working hard in canada, now trump make it extra hard, what is happening to trump now? Is he crazy or just following his master Putin. What a shame trump us closest allies are now getting away with you.

He kept a cool head when DT described it as the 51st U.S. state, with the intention of annexing Canada.\n\nThe fact that he will leave his post as prime minister in a few days has allowed him to speak without complex and without restraint, but also influenced by the serious threat to the country and its economy. He leaves with his head held high with a speech that will go into history, it will be part of his legacy.\n\nThe comments are complimentary of Canada, and it is true that they are kind, caring and welcoming people. To be part of it for 40 years, I am currently impressed by the solidarity of the people who boycott American products in supermarkets. They do not do it to harm the Americans they appreciate (spend their holidays at home) but to punish DT for his arrogance and lies. Human stupidity has no nationality.

I want this trade war, and I want Trudeau gone. I am from Canada. \nSo many people do not know about his government and the damage they caused.\nFacts little then 1% get scanned at ports. Canada does not screen airflights enough. \nAlso, Trudeau did not close the air down from covid to safe borders.\nTrudeau is lucky he is not behind bars the scandals he got away with is insane.

You can’t treat an ally like they’re the enemy. Sorry Canada but Democrats and Republicans treat each other like the enemy. A political dumpster fire

Im with YOU, TRUDEAU ❤ and MEXICO ?? CANADA ?? ♥️ ❤❤❤❤❤

Stop fentanyl production! And stop bringing them to the US! You’re not a real friend Canada - you’re murdering Americans with your fentanyl!

He threatened Zelensky and the Ukraine a few days ago.\nNow it's Canada. (and his own people)\nHe wants Greenland.\nHe's nuts.

Nothing I buy Comes? from Canada, it's all from China

As an American I’m soooooo happy Canada is standing up to this dumb loser president and his side chick Elon musk ?

I knew nothing about Canada but it appears I love the Canadians. Maybe you joining the European trade block needn't just be a Twitter idea ?

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

We stand we with you Canada

You would think that Trump would not put blanket Tariffs on imported goods and services from UK, Canada , Australia and New Zealand as there is a common history and connection all the back in time to the UK.

Did you allow me to choose my daughter and move back to Canada? I was there for three years before my fiancé and I broke up

Well done Canada for standing up to the bully let's hope the rest of the world does the same,fk Trump.

❤Canada Justin Trudeau.

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. ?

The USA will gladly stand aside and let Canada take over funding the Ukraine war. US citizens have currently taken on a tax burden around $1000/tax payer. Get ready to tighten your belt Justin.

Boo Hoooo, start doing your part Canada!!!!

I cannot believe that Trump indicated in his speech that Canada sends the US disgusting and dirty food. REALLY. Canada has health inspections on everything. Trump is a liar and makes things up as he goes.

Little Justin got spanked out of office. Those testosterone shots never took hold. Statehood for Canada.

Standing with Canada & Ukraine from Singapore

People forgot that the dictator of Canada has been trying to disarm its citizens.

Trump Holds All Cards. Europe & Canada have siphoned Billions while sticking it to America on Trade!!! Its called reciprocal trade!! Whatever you tax us we tax you!! The subsidizing is over. Canadian drugs kill. Cry because we match your tax in U.S. ? ???

True democratic Americans understand you, Canada. Love ya'll!

THERE IS A 180 DEGREE OF SEPARATION BETWEEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND DONALD TRUMP. AMERICANS STAND WITH CANADA AND UKRAINE!!??

Trudeau is a complete failure. A disgrace. Nothing more than Canada's worst Prime Minister.

Trumps hitting Canada with tariffs because Melania was going Gaga over Trudeau. What a spiteful disgusting excuse for a human being let alone president. Him and his best girlfriend eyeliner Vance.

Trudeau is going out pm of canada.. Transition period yet put his country in conflict w trump direct.\nAnother guy like Zelensky put Ukraine at risk with the dumb act in oval office..\nWhat a dumb speech

Like you shut down your country with covid.America has been paying Canada Tarrifs.

American from Oregon here, I stand with Canada ?? ❤

????????GO CANADA We welcomed you 1945, the year I was born, we welcome you NOW with all our hearts! don't hesitate much, go with the DUTCH.

We love America and Americans, but if someone attacks Canadian sovereignty, we will fight back. If the Canadian government invites China to invest in Technology, Agriculture, Automotive, and Oil, Canada will emerge as a different, independent, and prosperous nation. This investment could create thousands of jobs, lower EV and fuel costs, generate significant tax revenue, and strengthen the economy, as Chinese EVs are more affordable than U.S. counterparts. Ultimately, lower energy costs would decrease the cost of living and boost Canadians' spending power, attracting foreign investors to Canada.

Thank you everyone from all other countries standing with Canada and praying for us. Means a lot you guys. Thank you ❤

Tough guy when you are on your way out, Justin?. We are gonna just take over Canada and deport you to Cuba to your daddy Castro.‼

USA has been hijacked by \nThe Thugs In Office.\nAm sorry Canada ????
