As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Canada, there are many highly skilled hardworking American professionals currently facing layoffs. We can contribute to your country's needs and support your government and companies where there are shortages. This is an opportunity to strengthen your workforce—take advantage of it, while America is self destructing.

Mr.Prime Minister Trudeau can we get safe haven in Canada yet? Please?

Canada President was right about protecting his country, but his wrong about Trump, he not a smart guy….. he’s a Russian sympathizer trying to take over the world….. I’m embarrassed to have him as our president United States.

Why did you not answer the question of why does Trudeau and Canada think Trump is using the fentanyl excuse?\nThe intention of using a trade war to undermine the Canadian economy to make Canada the 51st state.\nIt is an existential threat to Canada as a nation.

As a Brit I stand with Canada. It is really unfortunate that the most powerful country in the world has the stupidest voters and the stupidest Head of State on the planet.

and now russia is looking at canada, well played.

That is a speech which will go down in history like some of Sir Winston Churchill's. It gave me courage, boosted my faith that possibly good will prevail. I spent 7 years of my childhood in Canada in the '50s. My heart is with Canada, Trudeau is a statesman in the best sense of the word.

isn't inflation going to hit Canada now just as he said the U.S. Canada cannot fight an economy 4 times greater. Canada's economy will take a bigger hit.

Canada strong. \nCanadian polite. \nCanadians are together in it.\nCanada loves their neighbors too.

I think, Canada, Mexico and all European countries should seriously have a talk with the new BRICKS alignment for a better world relations and stability.

Canada looks so pathetic almost in tears?. A lesson learned not to rest your shoulders entirely on US billions.

That speech makes me want my Blue state to join Canada as their newest province! Why can’t we have leaders like him who are articulate, respect facts and do rational actions? Oh, because 50% of the electorate in the US are uneducated morons.

Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, We know Canada is on our side. Unfortunately, too many Americans voted for a narcissist, and narcissists are never wrong... In their mind.

Listen to what Trump said, he wants fentanyl to stop. Canada is trying to make it about trade, its not.

cut off m0ney to canada. why does US give billions to thrn???cut off the atm!!!

Maybe instead of canada becoming our fifty first state we need to join canada and their provadvances seems like a better idea

I like how Trudeau left out all the money we just hand over to Canada. America won’t be bullied anymore with Trump. \nFor all you Democrats, if you guys wouldn’t have paved the way with your “Woke” mandates on everything without civil discourse, Trump wouldn’t have been elected. Democrats showed him how to govern this way and he is not holding back at all. Trump is the fallout from the Democrats and we all will pay for it.

Well all I can say is phUCK OFF CANADA ?

Millions of us did not vote for that madman. This is absolutely necessary. We will take the pain. We are with you Canada!

Sorry Canada that the Americans people are morons to stupidly vote for a felon and a dictator Trump now the whole world has to suffer! ?

Trump wants to take over canada. It has nothing to do to fentanal but his enormous greed and ego. We would be no worse off if we aligned with china

We are Canada... your bestest friend ever... as long as we can keep screwing you over as far as trade goes.

As a Korean, I stand for Canada and Mexico. Mr.Trump is messing up USA badly and treating USA alliances as an enemy. Through the trade war Mr.Trump started, many USA citizens will suffer economically and crash other economic market for the rest of world. I totally agree with Prime minister Trudeau.

From the UK, God bless you, Canada

Nervous hands of Justin Tradeau!! Who blinks first is the key turning point in negotiation. Canada future is bleak with this guy as Prime minister

CAnada have treated American unfair for years. So trump put a tariff tax on Canada to make it fair. Trumuea is a evil person. But Canada already know that my friends.

Canada will fold he just yapping

Oh Canada... Us like minded need to align tighter now that Trump is misleading USA with lies and putin's advises. Let's hope Americans wake up and understands that the orange man is dangerous to them. Please don't let his Crypto scam happen. Thank you Trudeau for being a voice of a reason.

I want to move to Canada right now and help. The world has one enemy right now and we all know who he is.

Canada doesn't even have an ounce of gold. Keep talking. Let's face it. Canada is a non-country. The fact that Trump asked them to be the 51st state shows that. He wouldn't do that do Japan.

I stand with Canada against trump.

over half of America loves you Canada

This dude is freaking out because he knows Canada is defunct.

We should have never let our country Canada be so dependent on America. Yes it will hurt us in Canada but I think we will learn from this. I hope Putin is as good a friend to you as we were!

we love you Canada as an American!

I'm an American and I don't want this, I didn't vote for this, I'm upset by this, and I'm by no means the only American that thinks trade war with Canada is stupid, half the countries number one imports came from Canada, tariffs on a trade partner and Ally is absurd!

Canada… are you threatening us?

I am an embarrassed disgusted Oregonian. I stand with Canada! And I stand with Ukraine! Majority of Americans DO NOT want any of this. This admin here was left with a VERY strong economy and he couldn’t wait to sh$t on it for his billionaires.

This US citizen stands with Canada!

GOOD FOR YOU CANADA!! I love your country!!! Great people. Don’t back down to the dumbest no good trump and his sissies.

As an American, we love you Canada. Do what you have to do ??????

From Kenya I stand with Canada❤❤\nTrump is Putin's puppet!\nAre you sure Trump is mentally stable. His decision making process is questionable.\n\nI stand with Ukraine❤️?

Thank you, Canada! Even though we will all be affected, I appreciate your targeting the Red States! ??????

Canada iam with you.itook my America flag down i put fly ing you flag ❤

One thing, Canada taxes US imports, Mexico taxes US imports, US doesn’t tax them at all, is this a good deal for the US?

Bro, Canada tariffs are a drop in the bucket... You don't buy enough from us to make a dent on that front.. Btw, you're speaking to a bunch of people who lost the election... STFU and drive your square -wheeled car to a library and read a book while you resign and let that other guy run your country your corrupt POS.

Why do you depend on the us for your trade ?\nIt canada's fault

The worst part is it’s the average family household in both Canada & the U.S. that’s going to get hurt the most. This is so shameful. Literally no one wants this trade war.

Respect Canada ??
