As a Canadian, I can tell you that we make great friends and trading partners but if you think your can bully us, you've made a very bad mistake. We will remember and we're going to make this hurt.

This American woman is pleased Canada's fighting fire with fire. Dump cannot be allowed to bully our allies without consequences!

This American is rooting for Canada…don’t let this wannabe dictator bully you. Go Canada! Also y’all should completely boycott Tesla

Im a Canadian and only % of drugs or people go across our boarders so what Trump is saying is again not true. Americans kill Americans .... Canadians do not kill Americans. WE will not bow down to a bully. Trump cant manage his own drug problems so he has to blame others. Canadian will work hard and not buy American goods. We will do our part and stand with our governments decision on our Tariffs. Trump is a sick man and is acting like a spoiled child. He cant manage his own country so he attacks ours...Canada will be here standing strong long after Trump is gone.

Has this guy realised he is bullying his allies?? \nAt some point he could need to confront his enemies and he will be ALONE. Not a smart move, this is not the way.

As an American, I didn't vote for this clown. What Trump is doing right now is showing the world that the US\nis getting weaker and is in decline. He is using his bullying politics with Tariffs that are harming his Ally\nin Canada and Mexico. This will backfire. Both Canada and Mexico can join BRICS, and flip the US the finger.\nWhy? BRICS is cheaper and more profitable. The US dollar is worth less now and is declining as we speak.\nThis is a sign of weakness and desperate measures.

Is all this bullying of neighbors and back foot in foreign policy how to make America great again?

American here. We need all people and leaders in democratic nations to stand up to this menace, this bully. If our economy goes down the MAGA will go down to and it can’t happen soon enough. They said he’d make prices go down. Show them who he really is. Our democracy is at stake.

Mexico and Canada other should join forces....pacify the bully Americans. \nChina can also push to their own tariffs. \nRussia and China are the winners..

We stand against orange bully. Trump can’t threaten us.\nCanada strong ?? ❤??❤️

No point talking to the Bully\n\nBetter of talking to Mexico EU UK China and the rest of the world

TRUMP pushing back.on the liberal bullies . Pushing comunism and ripping offthe american people. We don't need your products anyway . Keep voting for crooks that run your countries for decades now. Going to buy a tesla to support free speach and doge .

As a Canadian I have never been more proud. We'll stand together against this bully.

Good to see Justin standing up against the big Bully Donald Trump. Don't mess with Canada!

YES!!!! Thank you!!! Never cave to a bully!!! Canada and Mexico should both join BRICS!! Trudeau has nothing to lose anyway!

Canada should increase tarifs on oil and energy exported to the USA. With 25%. That would really hurt the bully.

As an Australian I am proud of our Canadian brothers and sisters. Don’t back down to a bully. ??❤️?? - \n??????

Proud to be a Canadian and proud of Justin Trudeau for standing up to a bully. No question it is going to be a bumpy road but I would rather be a Canadian then an American knowing Trump is in charge and doesn't care what he does to his people because he will have a job, a roof over his head, groceries on his table and gas in his motorcade. Impeach him before he does irreparable harm to the world. He doesn't care about you only your vote. He should never be in charge of the nuclear codes!!!

Nothing like a bully uniting countries to protect themselves employing the same bullying tactics against the bully

I have been saying it for years!! We need to reduce our dependence on the US! Americans are only interested in what benefits them! They have no honour! Their word is useless! I stand with PM Trudeau! Say no to bullies!

EU, RETALIATE. Never. Back. Down. From. A. Bully.

American here. Don't give into the bully! Work with Mexico!

USA went from friend to regional bully and aggressor.

Stand together team Canada and Mexico ! Don’t give into dictator bully

Trump should really look hard into the last time the US went to war with CANADA it really didn't end well for US. We are really only nice when treated with respect as we treat others. This does not mean we are a push over or that we can be bullied. My family has a lot of US friends and we are sure that don't want this either...but rest assured we will not back down....and we do not want to become part of your USA Trump by any means. You are a dictator and not even a very smart one.

The only problem is Trump behaves like a 4 year old. You can’t reason with them. Look what happens if you say no to a toddler. \nTantrum . This isn’t a regular bully, actually need the advisory of a phycologist on this one.

Trump just used it as reason to attack Canada and Mexico economy \nTo satisfy his hate for Canada and bully Mexico.

Trump's rationale of the border security issue to Canada is totally false as less than 1 percent of drugs and illegals come through Canada. Trump is just being a bully to try to get his way on tariffs for what he thinks is an economic decision to improve the USA. Unfortunately he is again wrong as Americans and Canadians will pay a lot more for goods and Trump will cause more inflation, ruin companies and many job losses across both nations.

I don't know why President Trump is trying to bully his neighbors with tariffs. Well, they are retaliating now. Let's see who suffers.

Trudeau is a true leader. USA will fail..Bullies always fail

Canadians are not in the mood to be Bullied right now...

Well done Canada, dont let the bully get away!

Prime Minister Trudeau responded with grace and guts. That is how its done when confronted by a crazed bully.

How to make enemies, and lose your friends..\n…..by threatening and bullying ..\nWant to be the worst human being in the world?\nTariff everyone…

Even if I somewhat despise Trudeau, *I definitely root for Canada* with regards to the American bully-tactics and megalomaniac Trump. Canada should move even more towards Europe and align itself with its European brethrens. A given strategic win-win decision. *Hail Canada!*

The erratic, destructive and bullying behaviour of the US will, and have already, decreased US influence around the world - a shame for the world and a shame for the US.

Democracy is always based on trust and dictatorship on fear... the latest is the US choice for President... as for the response, Canadians are very polite, but we never, never back away from a fight with a bully... as Bogard would say... is this the end of a beautiful friendship...

How to stop a bully?\n..first a bully will use fear and intimidation to dominate others for there own social status..\n…\nHow to stop a bully?\nStand up..\nFight back..\nUnite w/ others..\nBe stronger..\nNever give in..or give up..

Canada and Mexico need to respond with force, not just proportionately. Trump is a bully and bullies only respond to other bullies. Both countries should shut down Ford and General Motors factories which supply components to their US factories, as a start. When all the US CEO's start screaming at trump, he might listen.

I hope Mexico shuts its borders to American truckers and goods also don’t give in to the orange bully who is mentally unstable standing together with china and Canada you don’t give in. Yes your countries will suffer but America will suffer the most because they will have to pay big time. And they are not use to being stood up to

It is hard to even believe the world has come to such a ridiculous, immoral place... I do not understand how people on the news can even discuss these things with a straight face..... Our president is wealthy.He is powerful.He does not have to do anything for anyone .. He is putting his tom energy, an effort and to our country out of the love of God add all of those that are intimidated for no reason by him misunderstand that God illuminates helm and others do not even understand why they hate him.... God does shine through people add. I can promise I have the same hate and people try to destroy me.And I am just a simple person... God is good and I am so happy and evidently, I shine way too bright, also, because my joy in the lord illuminates from me... When I go into a store to use the restroom, and the people working in there has the ability by just looking at me to call 911 and tell them I stole... Which the surveillance never lies..\nYou know something about me was so bothersome to those ladies they couldn't help themselves... But I did.However, receive massive legal problems for making up lies and wasting all fifteen cop cars of cops, they wasted it.... So people need to understand those that shine with God's glory are hated by those that don't serve God... People hate me when I am and giving to them. So it makes all the scents in the world why Trump goes through what he does.. the ones that our most amazing to me are those of the view.... They are so in awe of him.They cannot stop talking about him every day... And I do not even understand how ignorant they or because they are truly in awe of him, they can't manage themselves.... If people would just choose love and support our own president in our country, it would be amazing..\n. I'll bet the united states is the only country that has so much hate for our own people and president... why not just choose to wait and see what happens?Hoping for the best... That man tells us, uh, every time he speaks the most wonderful news we have ever heard... It is obvious by all of the people unable to handle themselves because of his amazing everything... Whoopi Goldberg is the most evil bully that lies like a dog. They let on tv

Go Go Mexico!!\nStay Strong !!\nCanada too will hit back hard with retaliatory tariffs.\nIf that’s the only way that America can learn\nThen let their pain begin\nIt’s time for countries to stand up to Trump and send a strong message that we will not be bullied!!

His mission is to turn America into the heartless bully that Russia and China have always said that we are. Their Chump is happy to play the boogeyman.\nThe adversaries of democracy love it when we are divided and distracted, hating our fellow citizens and allies. They want to make the west implode, so they never even have to fire a shot.

This is a direct message to the German People. \nI say this as a working-class Englishman. \nYou have paid your debt enough with your liberal bullying governments since WW2 \nYou are a proud race and a hard working one. \nIf you reject multiculturalism there is no need to be ashamed of your choice. \nWe working-class Brits have and want nothing to do with our liberal establishment. \nSO..My point is... '' We are in the same situation as you. Don't be fooled.'' \nHere is the Kicker. In 30 years time they will be the majority in my land. \nClose your eyes, and imagine what these people are capable of doing. \nThe very very sad thing here, is that we were the 99% Indigenous population of this great Land in 1948. \n Sadly the 1% Globalist Bilderberg liberal elite brought these people here without even asking us !! Imagine the sheer vulgarity of it all. \nTo this very day, they show us absolutely no sign of respect whatsoever.

Oh look - Trump being a leader , getting the job done . Just imagine - Trump wins the 2020 election - a secure border , almost zero illegals. Trump tells Putin the way it’s going to be , bullying him or otherwise , who cares - no Ukraine conflict - no million dead - no ruin of large parts of Eastern Ukraine , and a lot of scared , undertrained young Russian conscripts still alive . Just think , in 2020, Trump bullies Iran , a terrorist rogue state - he DOES NOT end their trade embargoes like Biden did , he does not gift them billions of dollars like Biden did , and he does NOT turn a blind eye to them breaching the limits placed on their nuclear program. The result - a broke Iran , no WMD, NOT selling Trillions of dollars worth of oil to China - and in no position to attack Israel via its proxies. Imagine that . Imagine then , the previously vibrant U.S oil and gas industry , making the U.S self-sufficient , not in the current position where the U.S is on it’s knees , begging the Saudis to sell supplies the U.S. THAT , is about to change. Like him or not -Trump gets it done . He was brokering peace deals in Ukraine and Palestine - even as Biden was authorising the firing of U.S missiles into Russia - you know just provoking some crazy megalomaniac to start a nuclear exchange . Pitiful Biden , weak , demented , corrupt and criminally irresponsible.

Murican arrogance has reached RED LEVELS..........slipsliding into oblivion.........a powerful leader the world welcomes, a bully no body wants

As much as I dislike dump as he is a walking talking lying machine, using this lying machine against people outside of US is very advantage. Dump is a true bully and he certaining knows how to bully other countries to do what he wants.\nUnlike the democrats who are soooo freaking soft it's not even funny. The democrats should NOT have accepted that results of the 2025 election, they should have claimed election fraud and then started a riot too. Why do the democrats need to be soooo nice to dump when dump gave them the middle finger??

Yea this is not the time to try and bully your way into our country, FAFO

This is just down right ridiculous! The US is now looking like a bully
