Trump has been in office for a few months and not only managed to turn their biggest ally and one of the most friendliest and peaceful countries in the world against the USA, screwing over all of America, but also managed to piss off the Europeans… in what world was it a smart idea to start a trade war with a country you get most of your gas, oil, electricity, water and minerals from?

The last time there was a war between America and Canada, America invaded Canada in 1812 in order to get the gold mines. The war ended with the re-drawing of the American-Canadian border, giving America these gold mines. The area that America gave up has oil. Canada did OK out of it in the end.

All these t leaders had declare the war to Donald Trump and now they pay the price and now they start to cry........ isn't it strange lefties?

The reopening of coal mines, oil rigs, wells, refineries, and power plants, along with the return of several companies to the United States similar to the trends observed during Trump's first term, indicates a positive outlook for job creation. For the first time in many years, we have reopened America to mineral mining opportunities, Zelensky's supporters are beginning to turn against him regarding negotiations for assistance in the Ukraine conflict. Engaging in discussions with Putin to reach an agreement aimed at halting the war should not be misconstrued as forming an alliance with him; rather, it is a pragmatic approach. In diplomacy, it is common to negotiate with individuals one may not personally favor, this will lead to a Huge Mineral rights deal

Looking from Estonia: At the beginning of the war in Ukraine, many people could read the opinion that the Russians would probably understand and oppose their country's leader and his stupid decisions. This has not happened in Russia for three years, and if you look and listen to the attitude of American leaders and their voters, then such stupid, silent approval is prevailing there too. True, they are attacking their neighbor only with tariffs.. for now.

That was fantastic speech! Standing with Canada, from Ukraine. We greatly appreciate your support in the war????

No winners in a trade or nuclear war, so they say ?

The trade war is just the begining. Trump will use the fentanyl crisis and lie to people that Canada does nothing to prevent trafficking this drug. And how Trumpo will want to protect his beloved country? By sending army to the border with Canada. And then? Well maby an intervention on Canadas land? Trump loves Putin, Hitler. And they did the same as decribed above. By the end of 2025 we will have a 3rd world war.

American here : Shutting off our power may be an act of war tho so don’t act out of anger. I think this is horrible but let’s not make matters worse! Just call end NEGOTIATE.

Very dramatic , such a morbid tone \nA war “ a “ fight “

I'm 60 years old now, and I'm watching the world gradually descend into madness. Everything from ludicrous conspiracy theories, to insane trade wars and support for ex-KGB thugs, my feeble mind can't even make any bad sense out of it.

Trade war? Not the words you should be using mr trudeau

It's the war of 1812 all over again! And canada beat us that time too! XD

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!

Im not even an american but i know what trump is doing, all Americans who believe justin and what he is saying about trade war and he said usa will lose doesn't understand how things work.. You really believed your government didn't study this?

Dosent know his facts on the Russia Ukrainin war , guys a wine fraud and I hope he gets found out

Hi frim Montreal trump saying canada is taking advantage of usa. Did he forget about the American hostages we saved in Iran, did he forget how canada stepped in during 911, tajing thousands of Americans who could not land in usa but were rerouted to eastern canada, did he forget how canadians and americans fought side by side during several wars. In my opinion not only dod he forget, but he is an insulting human being not fit to be behind the oval office but instead be behind bars as the CRIMAL that he is. God bless America you are going to need it.

Throughout modern history, including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Afghan Civil War, and now the Ukraine-Russia War, the United States has repeatedly betrayed its ideals and allies. History won't repeat itself, but it will be very similar. It’s time for the world to mobilize to replace the United States! Bringing America into History

American here that has extensive relationships in Canada. We don’t want this tariff war but the tariffs being implemented first by the Trump administration on behalf of US were punitive for violating USMCA and tied directly to the border defects. This was made known in advance and you repeated empty promises. Take your medicine and get well fast. Instead of doing that, you are taking an action that will beget reciprocal tariffs. Implement $30B and Trump will add $30B….add another $125B later and Trump will add another $125B. Heads up….America wants good partners and looks forward to being past this as well. In the meantime, we are prepared to pay more (or live with less) as we get back up on our feet. We have a lot of internal healing and cannot carry any other countries right now. Not sure if that was ever a good thing for either of us. Time to heal our broken ways ….sorry if you got used to our last administration being feckless.

I think Trump is simply a Russian agent and is trying to bring down our country for Putin. He has stopped intelligence against Russia, ended Russian sanctions and Putin will use extra $ to escalate Ukraine war. Trump is doing putin’s bidding!! He’s a total mad traitor. He hates this country despite his lies to the contrary

Calling Putin lying, murderous dictator? Why Canada do not declare war to Russia?

There is always a winner's in trade and wars

Trudeau is a clown. This is a guy who thwarts free speech and jailed his own people and took their money away during peaceful protests. Canada has enjoyed a a trade surplus against us forever. They also do not have to pay for military since they are right next to us. They should be doing whatever we want. Canada was sending recyclable trash to the Philippines. When the trash arrived it was not recyclable. Philippine president said stop sending but Canada continued to send it. So finally he said if you send one more ship, we will declare no war on you. And if that happened, without US help, even the Philippines would destroy Canada in a war. Way more fighting aged males and Canada has a worthless military. Canada has a GDP of 5-10% of US. So Trudeau acting tough is hilarious. Like a chihuahua barking at a grisly bear. If push came to shove, in the time of US war need, the US would simply take whatever it wanted from Canada. That's what happens when you don't develop your own substantial military-just like Europe now.

his comments about working positively with Russia and appeasing putin are opinions not facts. The fact is WE ARE BROKE. We you me cant afford to be spending money on Ukraine as much as it pains me to say. We are going to go bankrupt and then we wont be able to help ourselves. We cannot continue to spend BORROWED MONEY. Are you willing to have the value of your hard earned dollar to fight a never ending battle. The truth is not a pretty one. Everytime we borrow money the quality of your life and your families diminishes. Not Ok with that. its a fucking struggle out here. and i know it is for you too. Mr Trudeau I think i just made it make sense. We cant afford it. War must end at all costs. or we are fucked.

We, the people, don't have free education, many students own loans from universities.\nWe can not buy houses, and no programs help us.\nWe (USA)have a lot of homeless, criminals, people with mental health, PEOPLE ADDICTIVE TO HEAVY DRUGS, plus the alcohol, weed, cigarettes, undecated young people, 30 percent only have a banchelors degree the 70 percent in the whole country don't have university education and not counting young people getting pregnant with toxic partners and their kids repeat the same poisonous life affecting their generations touching lives in a bad way.\nUSA has a lot of potholes in the roads, our foods have over 300 harmful chemicals to harm our health, the health system sucks, education is low teacher teach with youtube and are lazy to teach, educational system is super slow to process student classes or to advice them they make a mess in the documentation of the payments or financial aid, we have to baby sit the educational system to do their jobs and get things done, the food so expensive the egg, milk, vegetable, fruits, gas so expensive it never went down we still paying in LA 5 dollar per gallon to 6.50.\nUSA RENT are for the roofs some states do not even have rental control student loans kill people with HIGH INTEREST THEY GO AFTER YOUR HOME CAR TAXES .\nthe government is not to serve it wants the we the people serve the government.\ngovernment uses our taxes for their personal investment and we the people pay for it.\nThe USA government gives bread crumbs to its own citizens, what can other countries expect from it? The worst part is that most citizens are blind, and we need to wake up and make the government do its job instead of putting our tax money in their pockets.\ncountries need to look for their people but sadly the governments use their people very few are have justice and education.\nUSA say they help but they beat up the ones that are down and take advantages of countries that are in war USA exploit them is an investment not help USA always gets more of the double of what they help invest in countries like congo or eukrania USA want the minerals,land of eukrania and the diamond, land and resources of africa.

Bro should not cry\nAmerica has spoonfed Canadians \nNow it is their time to stand up on their fuking knees\n\nThis is not trade war\nThis is for creating jobs in America for Americans \nSimple\nGovernor Tuesday or Trudeau

Trudeau was well spoken here. Trump’s trade war is unnecessary and damaging to both countries.

US has more money than any other nation so any trade war will simply end in the other nation getting destroyed.

I love my brothers n sisters in the USA … this isn’t about you…I am not at war with you ❤ I want to be in peace with you. Please ?? hold your president accountable *

*Not important what Canada says on war,* \nbut *it's important what country says on trade war*

These are the first steps to ww3. US will invade Canada because of the trade war. Then invade México with the excuse of going after the Cartels. But make no mistake the whole world will not just stand to watch the carnage.

Trump will say Canada shouldn't have start a trade war with USA, like the way he accused of Ukraine starting the war.

Wannabe dictator and Putler-loving Trump is insane, picking a trade war with his closest neighbors, allies and friends yet sucking up to and appeasing The Monster From Moscow. America what have you done.

The fentanyl BS from Trump is so insulting. The US wastes insane amount of time and money catching and jailing LSD, weed, and shrooms users and acts like Canada's dedicated focus on dangerous hard drugs isn't good enough. He should mind his stupid war on harmless drugs instead of attacking people tackling the truly dangerous ones

This guy, as well as every Liberal on earth are completely and utterly clueless and idiotic!! Trump isn't taking sides with Putin! Trump understands that BOTH Zelenskyy and Putin must sit down and agree to a peace agreement... THAT'S IT! Putin is ready.. but Zelenskyy doesn't want to even try.. for one simple reason.. MONEY! he knows that if the war ends, the gravy train called American money comes to an end... Billions of dollars is unaccounted for! Let's put our thinking caps on for just a moment.. where do you think that money disappeared to? Billions of dollars doesn't just vanish in thin air! So now that Trump is putting an end to Zelenskyy's gravy train and has called for the war to end, for people to stop dying and for peace to happen.. that makes him on Putin's side!?!? Good lord .. if this were Obama or even Biden getting this deal done in the same fashion, the media and these same liberals would be calling them heroes! They would be up for the Nobel Peace prize! And liberals wonder why they lost so terribly in November!!!

All these things are excuses Trump is using just to tax us more. Excuses like these things you talk about, so he can charge you more money. That's all Trump is doing. He is lying and waging war on poor people. I

My fellow Canadian s. Today, dummy Donald has declared war on us ?

You guys are all waging war on poor people like me. Thanks a lot guys. You have plenty of money, what do you care?

What happened to “no wars”? Now we’re in active trade wars? Wild. This is all because we didn’t want an Indian/African American woman in office.

As an American getting into a trade war with our neighbors to our north and south makes no sense. Of course Trump is chummy with Vladimir Putin, they're so similar. Both need to be removed from office.

The point is that it is not a trade war. Is is the war with real camps. Trudeau is in the camp of the ennemy

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!!!

Dumb Americans being bamboozled by their government, Trump, Musk, and Zelensky. \n\nThere is NO rare earth elements in Ukraine. ?\n\nThis is another coverup and plan to make Americans THINK they are getting something in return for the hundreds of billions that's been washed in Ukraine, while the government spends billions more tax dollars to have US boots in Ukraine and act like they're doing something in rare earth. A big fake show and more snake oil. ?? ? ?? ? \n\nFYI: Russia helped end the US Civil War and ensured the north won. Purchasing Alaska was the cover up for giving Russia $7.2 million for their help in the war. \n?? ?

America made the worst decision with Trump. He celebrates himself as a victor, but he will go down in history as a tragic pioneer of unrest, war and crime and will be able to put himself on a par with the comedians of the world stage: from Pontius Pilate to Mussolini to Putin. A businessman with a criminal record who thinks he can make deals...

the countries that are richer in fossil fuels, energy production and materials are always the ones that have the highest chances of winning a trade war, unless there are other countries that can offer the same quantity at lower prices.\nIn the end these costs will always be passed onto the end consumer.\nI think that Donald is not that smart.. He is going to starve his citizens

The US has started an unsanctioned trade war against Canada. How is this different than what Russia is doing to Ukraine? The US needs to have sanctions slapped on them by the rest of the world like has been done to Russia.

what the hell is happening in north America!! from México, im very very worried.. we shoould work togethernot make comercial war

just think about what canada did in world war 2, DO NOT MESS WITH THEM

Re: War on Fenttanyl, it’s a bit late after all these years of relax drug enforcement, I got such a shock visiting Hastings St. Vancouver last May 2024!! However, as saying go - Better late than NEVER ?. God bless Canadians ??

Stupid Canadians.... Want EU war against Russia.... While living safely away from war.... Coca aine sniffing leadership has already ruined Canada.... We don't want Canada.... Hurt us....?
