It's time for Canada to step up and take the place they are capable of, lead the way in the Americas along side Mexico and stop living in the shadows of the USA.

How about imposing VISA requirement to travel through Canada to get from USA and Alaska. You might sudddenly remember who your friends are suddenly

I like Canada ?? but they can piss off sorry i stand with USA ??

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

Would Canada consider allowing the USA to apply to become a Canadian Province?

Canada is in comercial war with USA \nWhy he mix Russia an Putin \nHe was hid all these time and just now open is mouth with parliament shot down

We are best friends over century USA and Canada, no matter any hardship including 911 disaster, Canadian open airport for American, and supply sheltering and more, respect secondary largest peaceful land and generous country Canada.

trudeau is canada's version of Joe Biden on Steroids he did more damage to canada than Joe Biden did to usa in 4 years.

UK is with Canada. America is no longer an ally to us either. Hatred is growing for the USA across the world at a rapid pace.

I back Canada, the USa has become a massive Ahole

At least Canada has a leader with half a brain. USA can't say that.

Canada needs to stop all oil and power to usa.

Total respect for Canada! I'm so sorry for what my government (USA) is doing - its disgusting.

Haha suck it up. Canada has always had tariffs on USA. 270% on milk is just one example, and well over 100% on other products. Now they act like we are the bad guys? Why didn’t he lower canadas tariffs on USA?

Canada stand with Pride, we support you and unfortunately Trump needs to learn a lesson and may all his Maga idiots see him for what he is and wake up! God be with Canada, Mexico and the USA! If you stand against Trump you stand on the side of good and democracy and we support that!

President Trump, please raise the USA tariff on Canada to 50% please.

We ❤love You Canada, and we respect you. Do what you need to do because we are not dealing here in USA with normalities. The 2025 Government is not qualified to their positions,but they are there to help the billionaires, while we the people starve. WE STAND WITH CANADA ?? TODAY AND TOMORROW ❤

I have family and friends in USA. Plus I belive there big drug problems in Canada and the border. Think Trump was asking him clean up. Yes good help other countries but. Canada ...we taken in sooo meny. With housing soo high because storage. And jobs.

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

Our government. We don't care what Canada says. USA first

From Arkansas, USA, i firmly and proudly stand with Canada. And on behalf of all those too simple to see whats been happening and what is happening, i wholeheartedly apologize. Though he didnt have to lie to trump and tell him hes a smart man ? we all know thats not true

À nos frères Canadiens : French here, let's unite Canada, Europe, Mexico, and the democratic countries attacked or threatened by Trump and Putin, commercialy or military, and build a new partnership in key domains as commerce, defense, science, ecology research and culture, without the USA. This can lead to a new positive force around the globe. Vive le Canada ❤??

Total US GDP on exports to Canada and Mexico is 2.7%. We’re not going to feel your tariffs in the USA. But you will feel ours haha.

Calm down, boy. Don't cry. Canada in big trouble because of your great policy. USA will survive. But what about your country? We'll see

I love our country, the USA. I am ashamed and horrified of our president and his cult. Please, KNOW we stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and every country that Trump is threatening. He is a madman, totally insane. Save Our Souls. SOS.

That's the big point what Prime minister from Canada said , this is just what they want that the allies weaken and Trump traps in it , Al this years so many work to build strong Canada and USA is just in a second gone because 1 stupid Man and that's President Trump

As a 66 year old Canadian, never in my wildest dreams could I ever imagine the USA as an enemy to Canada. I know it's not all Americans and my heart aches for them, but the relationship is permanently damaged beyond repair. Stay strong Canada....no more American products or spending our tourist dollars there.

Europe is close to Canada! Trump administration is a complete disaster. Wake up, USA!

First. Drop Canadas tariffs against the USA.\n Does Trudeau understand that Trump has implemented Reciprocal tariffs. Which means you raise tariffs, ours go up exactly the same.

As a Brit I fully support Canada. USA, you started all this by electing Trump and Vance. Trump and Vance will hurt both the USA and the rest of the western world, they will help Russia and trumps other friendly dictators. Well spoken PM Trudeau.

As an American born Ukrainian, we stand with Canada, who continues. Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and JD Vance are very EVIL and VILE human beings. THESE 3 CRIMINALS ARE Taking the USA INTO MANY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. Getting back in to being buddy buddy again with THE WORLDS BIGGEST CRIMINAL AND DICTATOR PUTIN, IS GOING TO BE A BIG ISSUE for Americans. Many have innocent children and civilians have been MURDERED in Ukraine by Putin. Even as we tried several times to talk peace though Putin has proven that he wants NOTHING TO DO WITH A CEASEFIRE AND PEACE!!! TRUMP SHOULD BE IN PRISON LIKE THE CRIMINAL THAT HE IS!!!!

I'm not American. I grew up hearing lots of hate bout USA cuz the US doesn't exactly have a good rep in foreign policies - always bullying other nations, starting wars for oil etc. but I've always preferred USA not just for the world order it brings, it allows different voices, criticism & scolding towards its leaders compared to China, Russia & North Korea. \n\nin the US, you can talk bad bout politicians in power, or probably make movies bout these kind of things like US invading other countries for oil, or testing out some cruel AI military robots on humans (movie name: Monsters of Man), & you won't be persecuted. but after looking at a bunch of executive orders Trump has signed, the way he (& JD Vance) treated Zelenski & Canada, I don't know if I still feel the same bout USA anymore.\n\nif USA doesn't wanna continue spending on Ukraine, perhaps USA shouldn't have sweet talked Ukraine into denuclearization thru the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. that's what you get for mendling with other countries' affairs. by stopping US aid & wanting a new mineral deal, Trump's refusing to follow the Memorandum (I added this sentence thru edit as I can't reply to the comment below).\n\nunderstandably, US & UK don't need to deploy troops in Ukraine as the security assurance in the memorandum wasn't clearly defined, but it also didn't mention that Ukraine should pay the US back financially, nor any mineral concessions. \n\nTrump always wanting a purely 1 sided deal will only isolate USA from more allies.

I am a citizen of the USA. Now, I feel the same way of my country as some Russians feel about their country - shame. We support Canada and Ukraine in their position towards ridiculous behavior of our leaders. Hopefully, some democracy still remains in my country, and together we could change the situation to better. Glory to Canada and shame to Putin’s buttlickers.

As a USA citizen I stand with Canada and Ukraine!! I’m embarrassed!

I LOVE CANADA , I AM ASHAMED TO CALL THE USA MY COUNTRY

Impeach Dumb Trump!!! We are with you Canada ?? \nSo embarrassing USA

You can ear if a person is intelligent when you ear him, this time it is the prime minister of the Canada and it shall never be the actual president of the USA, sorry!

USA will be so destroyed by this administration that Canada will be able to buy it for a penny.

As italian, I’ve been in Canada many time for business. Lets be honest trudeau it’s good only at speaking. You destroyed Canada with your immigration ideology. Trump is making his business, and don’t worry about usa, their economy will not be affected from the Canadian tariffs

But it’s okay for Canada to work with China, send illegal immigrants and drugs into the USA from Canada… wow some “FRIEND” u r …??

I suggest 100% tariffs ,,\nOn all trade between usa,,\nAnd canada \nTrudeau your not sucking our countries tit , anymore,,\nDeal with it

This man has a master and he is doing and saying what his master wanted him to say. He is not honest to say all the high tariffs Canada is imposing to USA.

Canada has a government one can respect, one can't really say that about the USA!

The USA provides the weapons to the criminal organisations! They have the highest numbers of traffickers, according to their own Department of Justice report! They traffickers drugs into Mexico and Canada at a higher rate!

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?
