WHITE PEOPLE ARE JUST GONNA HALF TO SUCK IT UP, BOTTOM LINE WHITES NEED IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE YOU CANT BUILD NOTHING ON YOUR OWN AND MOST OF YOU COME FROM IMMIGRANTS, STOP BEING HIPOCRITS

You know what too...If Canadians was too go to India I wouldn't be able to bring my Canadian/Caribbean Culture there..I look at it like this his your moving to another Country I'm gonna adapt to The Culture and Lifestyle..Im not gonna bring my Old Ways that I wanted to leave to a New Country and Life...I feel like its not Canadians being Racist it's that they came here and The Government and Businesses are Catering to them From Adding Specific Food Items to cater to them most Jobs are by passing others to hire them...And on top of that Canadians are dealing with Food Cost being High still and Working a Job and still not making else to live a decent Life...Seems like most people are Working to Survive and Pay Bill and don't even have enough to atlest go out and have a peace of mind and have a Social Life...There brought in all these Immigrants to The Country while The Country was basically under a Recession...And this Problem is not getting Fixed now and it seems like it's getting worst..To the point I feel like a Civil War could even break out I this don't get Fixed somehow and someway... Purple Gorillaz Was Here. Peace.

A reckoning is coming for the people who do not want to assimilate to our customs and norms Canadians tolerate a lot of abuse and just smile and look the other way hoping people will realize how they are acting eventually and change their behavior the people from the middle east your gonna start a civil war. I am Canadian my family been here for many generations don't think for one second this place is gonna turn into the middle east Canada was the first to invade and liberate the Netherlands from the nazis don't for a second think we won't act that way on our own soil to people who disrespect us at home during covid the government got lucky that we were peaceful what happens when you corner a wild animal people are gonna find out

They ruined this country for post nationalism there are books on this that proudly spout Canada is past the point of no return they did it on purpose replace white people gonna be 46% in 2041 down from 95% in 1990 https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/220908/g-a005-eng.htm were cooked all planned

If we had our own of anything we would have been using them! Thats why we buy these goods from these other countries! The American people as well as Canadian are not equipped financially to handle this right now. We literally are fighting to survive. Not the rich folks, they are fine. They may not see the consequences of these choices but the working people that work everyday..... this is gonna literally kill us! People wake tf up!

I stand with the rest the world as they stand up to this maniac when our own people won't. It's gonna hurt, but we did this to ourselves. Thanks, MAGA. ?

And Jesus, why are you talking around it? Call that stupid MO Fo out! Talk around it, God! Stop Trump or we're gonna be a communist country! WAKE UP American press, we the people ate watching, speak up or you too will have a FAFO moment! I stand with Canada, elbows up!

K, so you’re gonna stop the carbon tax now then, right?????? \nlol\nI didn’t think so. This guy is so full of it. He is the reason why we are suffering as a country. Not Donald Trump. Donald is just looking out for his own country. It’ll help them, it’ll hurt us because you’re gonna let it hurt us. We are already taxed in every humanly way possible. What’s next? I’m sure you’ll think of something to tax. \nThis man has ruined what’s left of Canada. Don’t fall for this rhetoric little speech people. \nOpen your minds and eyes!

Blah blah blah everything‘s gonna work out great for the US in time. Sorry to tell you people this but that’s the fact.

Who are actually benefiting from this? US consumers are gonna pay more for goods, the exporters seem worried about it. Only Trump seems excited about it and the rich people probably don't care.

Imagine living in a country where your prime minister has no problem giving all our money away to terrorists. Or raising carbon tax to the point people can't pay their bills, lose their homes.. imagine having a prime minister who doesn't really care about canadians like he says he does because unlike canadians no everyone has a huge trust fund like he does to live as comfortable like he does with the punishment he lays on us.. it's gonna be tough on us.. NOT him

Trump could careless his pockets run deep his family is set for life. We the people are the ones that are gonna feel the burden. Yet there are those that believe he is doing the right thing it’s sad to see how unprofessional our government is at this time and age

We not gonna be able to afford anything and it’s about to get wild in these streets because black people will survive by any means necessary.

When are you people gonna learn? He does not care because he does not even listen to the courts.\n\nThe only thing he would listen to would be a direct threat to his life

Trump is just doing it to draw attention away from his own country. He can blame Canada and every other country for American problems but that's not gonna work on American people. It's entirely disappointing that trump is pushing away American allies and bizarre that he thinks the economy will be better off.

Definitely don't agree with his buddy buddy with putin that's some bullshit he's an idiot for that one. However this is how it's gonna be. We suffer from taxes and crap keeping us down. We the people want tariffs to return our country back to the funding source it once had. We don't need your shit it just costs us more to make it here. You were just our cheapy ticket. A non tariff threat is broad but best beleive it better not be no threat of violence. Well turn your Geneva convention and turn it to a whole Geneva Wikipedia.

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

Wait a sec… wasn’t he gonna step down? Wth?! When are peeps gonna start calling these elites on things that look like lies & continuing to lead the people on while looking shameless and embarassing themselves up there & not keeping promises? Hmmm… how long have they had to pick a new person?

I have never felt more proud to be a Canadian, it’s a good feeling, I was almost brought to tears earlier thinking about it. And it’s interesting to note that it is overriding the fear of the consequences of Donald’s actions. Here’s where I can’t help but think of you, our fellow North Americans. The good people of the USA, I hold you in my heart. For you don’t have that boost that comes from feeling proud of your country. I can’t say I’ve ever known what that is like. It seems it would leave you gutted, and lost. Can you even describe the feeling, the experience? It has to be one of those things that you can’t know until you experience it. The pride in my country is keeping me going. My heart is crushed thinking that you do not have that. But you need to do everything you can to keep it. It’s what the Donald and his cronies are counting on. Unfortunately, he does not care about you. He wants to crush you. He does not care about America and what it stands for. He only cares about himself. If you do not have the fight that comes from being proud of your country, you guys are gonna be easy pickings. Do everything you can to find pride in your country. We need you to fight. We need you at our side. We are with you. We will always be with you.

Just so it's known but America has never been self-sufficient. We have always been reliant on others with good trade and fairness towards each other. My grandparents went through ww2 and had to go through rations on everything from gas, oil to food and tires. You got a book for everything and had to tear them out to get your products. They said back 1943 they had to keep the farm and barely made it to vday. You all need to look at history and research things. These Republicans and president is gonna ruin farms and cost people to the point they will have to choose their meds or food. Never in my wildest imagination did I think we could have sunk so low and loosing allies and gaining a dictator that was a known Assassin and removed voting in Russia and here we have a guy in charge trying to imitate him. I guess criminals stick together

Trump gonna bankrupt this country and guess who going to pay for it.....we the American people...

Of all these people in this comment section, are you guys gonna leave or you guys sit here and take this ???

Since you are that confident, why are you begging the American people? And I’m sure you’re gonna come back with an apology. To USA ??

And this is just awful for the people we’re just stuck in the middle of a government fight , government power struggle but we, the people are the ones that are gonna be suffering and paying the price for this war between government

Trump is trying to end a war it’s not the same thing. We don’t need Canada if you haven’t been to America then you don’t know. We can make whatever you can make and better we can grow anything and more then you can just bc of regional weather. Canada is mad bc they make a lot of money off of us and trump is changing America and getting what it’s worth. America always pays more for imports and exports , why? and yet with out American people buying y’all’s stuff you your government will fall gotta keep last and for most gotta keep Canadian politicians payed as far as I know y’all haven’t had to worry about prices in y’all’s country. For years we have been paying more for stuff that should be made here or we pay less. Plain and simple we are getting what we are worth take it or leave. It will be funny when he cuts all exports from Canada it will take a little bit but we will compensate ans there gonna with they just took the 25% little saying over here is you never know what you got till it’s gon.

Yo! A lot of people gonna die in hospitals when the electricity gets whacked out. A lot of food gonna go bad in grocery stores. A lot of seniors and special needs gotta have that electricity on for medical reasons.

If he really wanted to protect the people then why start AFTER the fact. He does this only because it’s gonna hurt but under Biden NOTHING was being done.

His people in Ontario have been driving to Michigan to buy their groceries because they can’t afford prices in their own country for YEARS. Don’t tell us how we are gonna feel. And the people made this decision. We voted trump in. I’m not a world leader but I personally don’t take economic advice from people who can’t manage their own ??‍♂️

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

I love this guy! Trump is gonna cost a huge impact on us poor people

I am wondering if Fox is gonna show this speech, and how about Newsmax and, the other one that I right now don't remember, I really hope the Americans who voted for trump see how a real leader talks and behaves and I also hope that people realize that this president is hurting every single American Citizen, these tariffs will not help our country it will make it so much harder for every person in The USA to make a decent living. Please don't forget about this NOT NOW NOT EVER.

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

This is gonna hurt the whole world and that’s what all the intentions are. He is a control monger. I hate to disappoint him. We all come on the Earth, the same way kicking peeing pooping ourselves with nothing guess what we leave the Earth the same way. Nothing makes anybody better than anyone else and until the people on this planet learned that this is gonna go on and on because this shit you don’t learn from it. It just continues to come every 40 years or so. We’re supposed to learn from our history, not repeat it. It’s ridiculous.

People talking about a war are out of their mind. You would be against Canada, Mexico, AND HALF YOUR NEIGHBORS!!! ??? Trumps favorite people ( the uneducated) gonna be pissed when their food stamps and medical coverage disappear

It’s not about fentanyl. It’s not about the two or three people that across their borders. It’s all about his crazy idea that Canada should be the 51st state. And in his warped mind, he thinks by doing this, he’s going to ruin Canada, and that they’re gonna come begging on their hands and knees to be accepted into the United States and I am dead serious. This is what his goal is, and this is what he thinks he’s going to accomplish.

In a best case scenario, DJT will rescind the tariffs on Canadian goods. In the worst case, we get even poorer. If this happened after Trump became president the first time, the economy was strong from 4 years of Obama's presidency. Then COVID happened, and for alot of folks here, they haven't recovered financially. Savings and retirement plans are gone. Rent is higher, for many it takes over 50% of their income. So in this emergency time, there's nothing to fall back on. Oh and DOGE will cut SNAP benefits, I'm sure. That's food stamps, meant for the people struggling. It's becoming more and more of Americans. \nAm I depressed? No, I lived through Reagan's presidency. I'm cautious about life, my job, commuting to work, putting food on the table. I'm gonna try growing veggies. I already eat 75% of my meals at home or taken from home-cooked meals. I'm saving as best I can.

We’re definitely gonna take a hit in upstate New York. Canada provides us with most of our electricity. And people to blame are Trump and his cronies.

What Trump do now it's a desastre for a poor American people, they gonna feel all this taxes in them pockets... ?

I don't think it's gonna be that tough. We in Norway have 25% tariff on pretty much everything, the reality is people pay it. We still import. It's not gonna stop the trading.

Boo boo, don’t care. It’s time that the countries we support show some love back. In our time of need we are getting ghosted but everyone expects America to just to attention when there is a conflict or someone needs money. No one cares about our financial needs or our battle with the cartels and illegal immigration. Then screw them. If they want to leave us high and dry because they like the old way of doing things, aka syphoning off Americas wealth, then they can get ghosted right back. I know this will get hate because the people who support CNN are mostly trump haters, but oh well. There’s gonna be a lot of pain before the soothing comes because of all the damage that’s been done. My heart goes out to those suffering, you’re not alone, we’re all in this hoping for a better America.

What is wrong with you people [maga]. You really think this will end well and then just be all hunky Dory? You need to wake tf up and realize this is going to destroy us. There will be nothing left to make great. The amount of bankruptcies and people starving is gonna go through the roof. But you think it’s just gonna be a tuff couple months. Wake up!!!!!!!!!

This is HEARTBREAKING, because Trudeau is speaking to EVERYONE like a leader SHOULD!!! He left NO doubt how much he cares about his fellow citizens, and that their government will help them as much as they can!! \nThis is what AMERICANS dream about, a leader that cares about us!!! We wish and pray that our leader looked and spoke like that!!! \nCANADA is showing the WORLD what TRUE LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE!!! It's HEARTBREAKING for ALL the Canadian and American people that are gonna feel the pain, and NOT the BILLIONAIRES that are INTENTIONALLY hurting ALL Americans. \n\nI had a tear in my eye, because of the overwhelming pride I had for Canada and Trudeau!! \nAmericans are hanging their heads in embarrassment!!! \nGo Canada!!????\nGo Ukraine!!????

The trade war that's nothing to do with Rusia war, the trade war is related with your incompetent roll letting drugs pouring by the border from China period and the Rusia war it's because with not gonna be supporting the war that you and Europe wants with our MONEY. Two different topics, we don't need your stuff and your country will lose more than us and your crying is just a because you don't want be traded with 25 %. You are talking to the minority of the American people because the majority voted Trump so your speech it's a wasting time for me

Haha America is NOT hurt at all, but Canada is. We have given trillions of our tax gollars to Canada for no reason, Canada wants the USA to give and give and take and take, but now you’re gonna pay up, only uneducated people are influenced be the trash spewing spouting out of this man’s mouth, we want our money back, I think we should take Canada by FORCE and show you there is nothing you can do!!!

I mean, things have to get worse before it gets better! In order to bring companies back to the U.S., something has to be done to make them come back. Surely people didn't think that it was gonna be an easy road to bring these companies back home? Tariffs are the only thing that'll make these folks come back. Yeah, we will have to bite the bullet until it all comes to past!

The US was an example, a role model for most of the entire world and it reversed in a matter of weeks. We are living absurd times. It is sort of a nightmare. Why is the US isolating itself, picking ridiculous fights with friends? If the American people don’t react to this and get rid of the madman, it’s gonna end badly… 4 the Americans.

When are people gonna start telling the truth? Donald isn't smart, his government is clearly a russian asset, he's got the mental acuity of a four year old. America, wtf are you doing, stop watching the news, get to Washington....

Trump must be removed from office immediately if u gonna save America \nBecause he is Putins marionett puppet and going his arrends and dismantle the great us of America. Safety. Government. Security and all allies i am crying to see this happen to a great nation with one lunatic people must stopp Donald immediately \nSorry from Sweden

We all have to work together and if we accomplish that we can do anything why do we need to be greedy at first will start with us and then every everybody else will fall in line that’s why we have peace, treaties, and peace talks, and the UN so they can see how the United States are willing partner that’s gonna help and do the right thing They look at us for that now we have a president doesn’t care and he wants to make sure everybody thinks that we think like that no, we don’t think like that please get it together before the most high come down and get it together for you if you don’t know what you’re doing because he trusted you with usthe American people?

This only gonna hurt the working people, how does this help anyone . It only benefits the government
