Go Canada!!! USA, we are so screwed. God Bless Ukraine

I stand with Canada. Our so-called President is a Fascist and extremely mentally ill. We denounce Trump's Regime and how he is destroying our relationships with our allies. I applaud Trudeau and Canada!!!???

Let all nice Americans come to Canada ??. You need to leave Trump as he is a wannabe dictator.

Would Canada take in skilled working class Americans on political asylum? I don't want to wait until Trump is s full blown dictator.

VIVA LA CANADA! Not ALL Americans are in support of Sweet Potato Hitler.

I hope that Canada and the EU is going to work closely together in the future. You cannot trust the USA with such people in charge! Even CHINA is more reliable right now, let THAT sink in!

Great speech . Canada not bowing down to a dictator elect . Shocking to try and collapse a neighbour , friend and ally’s economy . ?? European ?? countries are on your side .

Illinois stands with Canada

VIVE LE CANADA ?? We will never be your 51st State. We know this will hurt but we are tough, we are united and we will NOT back down.

To our European friends, be careful. American hostility looks bad right now. But the bigger danger is Russia disinformation. America is hostile to Canada and Europe because Putin is using disinformation to radicalize the citizens of democratic countries. America has fallen victim and is divided today. Don't let Russia do the same thing to you. I am already noticing European also becoming radicalized slowly. Russian disinformation must stop now or Europe will fall apart the very same way. The very first step is to learn how Russian disinformation works, including Russian bots and trolls. And use social media less.

Naturalized US citizen from California Standing with Canada!

Justin sucks!! No correct facts are false talk. He looks scared about Canada's future economy in Trump's 4year administration. Helps in breeding wanted criminals to security teams like border police,etc. Kash and Tulsi will handle him well.

Im not buying any more american as far as it’s possible. I stand with Canada against Trumps ProRussia America. Greetings from Norway.

Screw Canada. Get ready for an invasion. NORAD is gonna be dismantled later this week and then US planes will begin a campaign to take out critical infrastructure

Canada has HUGE amounts of oil, lumber, rare minerals, potash (fertilizer)...WE WILL SELL THEM TO COUNTRIES WHO VALUE CANADA AS A GOOD AND LOYAL TRADING PARTNER.

I stand with Canada

We Canadians are suckers if we're giving billions more to Ukraine. Trudeau needs to go now. As for the tariff, I think we need to strike back hard, and continue the boycott of US goods. If we could, would be great do cut off all energy going to the States, but thanks to Trudeau, we don't have cross country pipelines to do that. BTW, Canada is not responsible for what comes into your country, we're responsible to keep things out we don't want in. That's the way these things are supposed to work, we're not East Berlin.

The reality is: the US has reached a record high trade deficit with Canada. This deficit has grown steadily since 1976 (today it is just shy of $100 billion - meaning the US purchases $100 billion more worth of goods from Canada than Canada does from the US). The US imposing tariffs on Canada is a tactic to incentivize US companies who import goods from Canada to move manufacturing/production sourcing back to American soil. This promotes investment and expansion into the US economy. It will also incentivize Canada to commit to investing in the US economy. This would be a negotiation move by Trudeau: we (Canada) will commit to purchasing $25 billion (for example) dollars more of goods from the US if you agree to reduce the tariffs you've imposed on us to blank (maybe 5%). This is likely the end goal Trump is aiming for in the long run.

Go Canada, we're with you!!!

Some american people stand with you. The rest of those people are MAGA. Now we ALL pay. Canada please remember we are NOT all MAGA and support you. As far as I am concerned you need not explain it again. Those that listen have heard you. WE heard Kamala and Tim. The rest have their heads so far up their arse they can't hear!

Lmao ??? you people are nuts... Canada has higher tariffs on US goods.

The Western Canadian people stand with Trump! We are ready for a referendum and we are ready to make Canada an Autonomous 51st state of the USA! To Republic ????? God Bless!

Why oh why don't the American's see what ever Canada, Mexico or Europe does will make no difference. Trump and his henchmen want's to destroy western alliances.

Canada ?? ?????

shut off the gas. \nshut off the electricity.\nkick out any american military forces from canada. \nclose the border.

Canada should put a 1000% tariff on Tesla!!!

Arizona here. Standing strong with Canada.

Can i please come live in Canada. I am embarrassed to be american after how he treated zelensky and kissing putins butt. I will move in a heart beat.

wow, Canada your lucky to have a actual leader.

Canada should join the EU.

As an American I am sorry Canada. I did not want this ?

He is great leader ?\nI stand with Canada ?? \nStay strong ? with love from Czech

Stop begging Canada

As an American I stand with Canada.

Wow, an intelligent, thought out speech that you can understand. No name-calling, no hyperbole, no making it about himself. It's like Canada has a grown-up for a president.

As an American I stand with Canada!

Stay strong Canada. Regarding democracy and freedom, we are united. A hug from Europe.

25%%-0% tariffs with the US gaining by 25% and Canada losing by 25% would have been ridiculous. Trudeau deserves many congratulations by hitting back with retaliatory 25% tariffs vs the US.

The Prime Minister of Canada of Justin Trudeau Trudeau is a true leader that Trump should pattern INSTEAD of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. \nAs an American in the USA, I stand by Canada and Mexico and will support you both $$$ and travel to your beloved countries!!!

From Europe: Bravo Canada, great leader !

We support Canada ❤❤❤

Europe Stand with Canada ?????????

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

It all leads to the US acquiring Canada

Only bad words, Canada is a Beautiful ❤?

Canada’s money laundering is going GREAT!

1. Canada is much more dependent on natural resource extraction than the US\n2. Canada's population is growing twice as fast as the US
