Canada should BUILD A WALL between them and the states

United States did not start this trade war. Trump and the Republican Party did and I’m so sorry Canada because you don’t treat a friend and neighbor like that !

I'm here in The Corporate States of America and this government is disastrous. It's an embarrassing thing that the government has done. I, and many others, stand with Canada. Wishing Canada all the best.

I stand with Canada from Georgia (state)

The worst part about this is - Canada has the population of like the state of California - we might as well be a state

Canada watch your border very closely you are dealing with a mad man in the US, he has already said he wants you as the 51st state. I know this sounds absurd but the things I have seen happening in the US, nothing would surprise me now.

Trump is losing favour in Canada too. Many supported him until the 51st state rhetoric started. Now he's actually allowing Trudeau to stay in power longer. The trade war is allowing Trudeau to stay relevant.\nTrump should have said I'm not dealing with Canada until Trudeau resigns!

It is not the people of the United States who are doing this outrageous betrayal to our good friends in Canada. It is the evil people in control of our nation.

An easy way out for Canada is just accepting faith and join as a state of the USA ???

Dear Canada. Trying to reason with the people of the United States won't work because the MAGA have been brainwashed and you can't reason with a brainwashed person - they will only listen to and believe their Dear Leader. The rest of us - those not brainwashed - don't need to be reasoned with because we are still and will always be your friends.

Less than two months this is chaotic. Tdumps Presidency is going to be 4 yrs of chaos. If you think his first term was chaotic in the way his administration handled the Covid-19 epidemic even when he initiated increase on tariffs with imports on aluminum and Steel. Canada answered. Americans seem to conveniently forget the job losses in the states due to Trump's tarriffs during his 1st term. They voted him in based on the inflation of prices and immigration. But the prices are still high and will go higher

Sad state of affairs when the only advocate we Americans have comes from another country!\nI wish we had a government that cared about us like Canada cars about their own

I never thought I’d see the day when the President of the United States would launch a trade war against a staunch ally & friend, while sucking up to the murderous Russian dictator Putin. Stand strong Canada, the free world - what’s left of it - support & stand with you! ❤❤❤

It is not the United States that wants a Trade War with Canada, it is Donald Trump!~

Is there a way Oregon and Washington state can become Canada's 11th province? please? Oregon

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

I newd to move to Canada he sounds reasonable level headed and logical what united states use to be sad day

Trump and his real President 'Mucks' (sic) we absolutely hate u and your electorate for the decimation and fascism you are inflicting on the world ... from UK a distant cousin and now a disaster 'crash and burn' waiting to happen.. ur delirious (Gaza Riviera, Canada 51st state, Greenland, Gulf of Mexico, Panama Canal) ..fork off to the right

Not everyone in the United States of America stands with trump, my family didn't vote for him and can't stand him, we stand with Canada and Ukraine!

Trump wants to break Canada weakening them to make them the 51st state. Canada there are other markets to trade with. Companies are going to move from the US and with them so will your trade route.

US breaking relations with fascist states such as Canada. Just look at what the Canadian government did to the truck protesters.

Make Canada Great Again. Be the 51 state of the United States.

If Mark Carney gets elected as our next Prime Minister, nothing would make me happier than if he kept Justin Trudeau in his cabinet as Canada's new ambassador to the United States.

The Mystery of what it’s all about was revealed the first week of the trump government!.. he wants Canada and Greenland as states. So he’s trying to weaken Canada and Europe from defending those territories.\nHis left hand is distracting u with tariffs and Putin, his right hand is advertising to ‘liberate’ Canada and Greenland!\nTrump has nothing to lose, he is literally beyond the average life expectancy of an American right now. He is trying to go for his vision of bigger empires

I Am A PROUD AMERICAN, \nI COME FROM A FAMILY OF HARD CORE COMBAT VETERANS\nSINCE. 1776.\nI Proud Of My CANIDIAN Ancestry On My Maternal Side,\nNova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario CA\nI Pray CANADA. SHUTS DOWN\nTHE MY OIL SUPPLY \nAND POWER TO THOSE STATE'S\nWho Think MAGA Spicemens \nWho Think ORANGE ? DRAFT DODGING CRIMINAL SUFFER.

Finland stands with Canada. Ordinary American citizens will pay the tariffs imposed by Trump as increased prices in stores and inflation will start to rise in the United States.

Donny the dictator trump will not last long…. He’s pissing everyone off who isn’t in his suck up club. Donnyboy only thinks about himself and how much money he can acquire. Oh, I’m sure Putin is going to enrich donnyboy well. Stand strong Canada. From a loving neighbor in NY state.

How is it Canadas fault Americans love doing drugs? They don’t want to be the 51 state!! And he’s not smart Donald can barely read

Canada 51 State

Don’t worry, we take care Canada. 51 states

The only thing Canada gives to us is oil and some auto parts. Other than that. Nada. 75% of Canada's exports are purchased by United States consumers. Without the U.S., Canada would crumble.

didn’t think Trudeau could make Canada any worse, but man did he messed up now it makes so much more sense to be the 51st state \n\nBut then again, I live in Canada and make US dollars so who really cares lol ?

Canada isn't a Country it's the 51st US State. Better Hope Greenland doesn't beat you to the Deal. First come, First serve to the Full backing and open Arms with a Bear Hug included with 0% Tariffs and increased Developmental Funding.

Trudeau let's Trump get the upper hand....oof, bad move Trudeau. Looks like Canada could actually become the 51st state now.

Canada was training with our enemies. They let the Chinese military backdoor the United States and we won't stand for it. The line has been drawn.

Good on Canada. Trump is a traitor, as is Vance and the entire Administration. Americans are deeply embarrassed by the harm Trump is doing to the United States and the world. We do NOT stand with Trump and never, ever will.

Trudeau failed to mention all the billions Canada owes the United States which caused the tariffs to start with. Trudeau you have stepped on it big time so keep kissing the globalists tail!

This trade war with Canada must end. The only way to do that is for Canada to become our fifty-first state. The sooner you admit that Justin the better.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Maybe Canada could annex us: The Canadian States of America. No Republicans

As An American citizen I stand for righteous leadership and I stand with Canada, European allies and Mexico. Do what you have to do to protect your country your economy and your citizens. TRUMPSKI and his lap dog JD Vancekoff are ruining the United States of America!! They're not leaders, they're Russian assets, strongmen wannabe's and a scourge in the historical record of our nation. And all of the misled, under educated and misinformed folks who follow this man and his cult of personality have been lead astray by the propagandist on FOX News and right wing social channels and will pay for this just like the rest of us. Trump and his cronies are ONLY about enriching THEMSELVES and their friends and families. Not the working man and woman. Just the autocrats and oligarchs.

???????? here,If there’s one thing I learned in university as a political science graduate, and I did take a US government course was part of my degree. I thought that there were so many checks and balances on the president of the United States, but seeing his actions, I am very confused at how he is not being questioned for his mental stability and his actual ability to lead your country I mean to what degree is the definition of treason not applied I don’t understand how the president of the United States can now align himself with Russia and destroy allegiances with friends and allies This is not seen as treason?\nTo my American readers… just remember the United States knows no better friend than Canada….. so does any of this make sense? How is it that we are the enemy now and your president wants to support Russia is he a Russian operative? How are you not removing this guy from power where are all these checks and balances that you always bragged about through my entire life ?

I don't know why the US government wants Canada. Logically speaking, it will be the bluest of blue states. Think of the consequences. Annexation could be the biggest of own-goals.

We all should vacation in Canada this summer. Ditch the red states lets go to Canada. Canada is a beautiful country and Canadians are nice.

i was raised in Canada, SO WAKE UP AMERICA, this can destroy the UNITED STATES

Mr Trump is a criminal, who is destroying the United States of American. I love Canada and Canadian people . Washington state loves Canada. We are trying to stop Mr Trump and Mr Musk. This is not America, ????✌?

This dude's an idiot it's all bull crap everything the United States send to Canada we pay huge fees to sell our products there it's only right that Canadians do the same thing a 25% tariff the United States is still paying more to sell goods in Canada it's only right that Canada pays the 25% tariff as well as everyone else everywhere us products are sold every other country we have huge fees and markups charged to the companies that make them so they can promote local made and goods made within their own country it's only right that the United States does the same thing while our tax dollars go to support the whole world are companies should be able and our government should be able to recoup some of that money through tariffs it's only right I'm all for paying a little bit more money so that our country can recoup some of the money that we spend and send to their countries how many billions of dollars does Canada get from the United States and they're complaining about a little tariff but yet we send billions of dollars to support them

I wish we'd be Canada's new state.
