Yes, innocent US citizens r going to suffer from our sick dictators decisions but I'm glad Trudeau is correctly retaliating. ?I'm sorry I don't hav dual citizenship because I would move to Canada for at least 4yrs ?

Sorry you have to talk to us like toddlers Canada. I’m in western Washington, I’ll vote to become Part of Canada any time!

Maybe he should discuss the constant duty fees and border crossing fees for anything shipped from Canada to the USA that have been constantly rising for years; fees that his very own government sets. Maybe he should talk about Canada demanding that anyone that sells anything foodwise to anyone in Canada from the USA has to have a special Safe Food For Canadians Food License or the goods being shipped will be rejected at the US owners cost, seized by the border and held in storage at the US owners cost, and destroyed and billed to the US owner. A license that no one actually needs considering other legal and ethical controls are in place to prevent unsafe foods from crossing the border, but Canada reserves the right to make us pay for one or we suffer consequences. Maybe he should discuss how they left their borders open to migrants, making it much easier for criminal migrants to get into the US. Maybe he should understand that the US has always been bleeding money to Canada on a trade level for about half a century with it getting much worse in the last decade because Canada's government are greedy. Before any of you come at me, keep in mind I work in the food ingredient industry as an order processing, logistics and customs & border crossing and have done so for 15 years. These tariffs were a long time coming and if any of you are on the inside of trade in the manner I am, then you know what I'm saying is true. The US is constantly paying additional tariffs by way of duty fees, customs fees, certain applied taxes (like there is literally a blueberry tax to ship US grown blueberries into Canada to prevent US blueberries from taking over the Canadian blueberry market). The blueberry tax is about 25cents per lb. which drives the price per lb. up for the seller and buyer. You wanna know why Food costs so much? All of the above with a huge side helping of GREED.

I'm an African American VP Harris2024 voter #The92Percent?????‍?????, and I'm standing with Canada ??.....againt Velveeta Voldemort, JD (Junior Dick) Eyeliner, Apartheid Clyde and the #MAGAZombieCult?‍♂️?‍♀️!!!!!

This guy is an idiot and I’m sorry Canada that you have them as your Prime Minister say what you want about Trump. This guy is definitely a disgrace with no backbone of his own. He just looks like a sad, pathetic man. Why would you want him running your country he looks weak. He speaks weak. All he’s gonna do is hurt your country.

Wow, that’s a very good polite speech of a leader. I’m Asian used to live in Ontario 10 years ago and I love Canadian people they are not racist. \nI so wish you all luck for your loving Country. \nGo go go Canada !!!! watching from Czech Republic ❤

Am much as it will hurt us Americans. I want Canada's to know I am fully with you guys. I got my generator ready as I know what's coming next. May we all weather this horrible storm and come out stronger. Hopefully, the Americans who believe in a con man and his cronies finally wake up and rid us of them all. If they do, I'm certain America will not fall for this kind of man for at least another 50 years. Sometimes, people don't realize what they have until it's gone.

I’m appalled!!!!! what’s wrong with y’all? he’s mimicking Russia..!!!!!! Russia went after Ukraine Trump‘s going after Canada talking about making it into state trying to rob them all their minerals.!!! I can’t believe y’all that gullible you can’t see this. What the fuck 20:13

As a blue-blooded American, I’m heading to the store to buy me some Canadian whisky! Stay strong, Canada! You’re obviously smarter than we are down south. ❤

I’m an American..DO IT CANADA!!WE ARE WITH YOU!!

I love Canada! I’m from Pennsylvania and I stand with you 100%!

Canada, Mexico, Germany and other countries who are getting caught up in the orange turd of a president's mess. He's not my president and just so you know I've never voted for him. I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now... I promise 50% of U.S voters are idiots the other half of us understand economics, the importance of allies and we're generally nice/smart people. #trumpsucks

I support Canada because luckily I don’t live in a state that is about to lose electricity. I’m sorry for them folks.

I'm sorry, Canada. You do what you need to do. This is all horrible.

Since I cannot trust anything our president says, let's connect some dots. \n\nIt appears this is a war about resources: Canada has, oil, rare earth minerals, and lithium. If the U. S. Can bring Canada to its knees through economic means rather than force, it's still War. \n\nI'm hoping Canada finds other markets for its products and basically says fu to the U. S. Exports markets to Europe duty free. I hope Europe responds to Canada in a positive way, which I'm sure they will.

Do not trust trump. Do not share information. Do all you can against this scourge. I’m so sorry Canada, we are not all with him

go Canada , I'm so proud of you and the UK

Kudos to you Canada. I didn't vote for tRump's unhinged, dumb @$$. I'm embarrassed!

As a Californian, I'm hoping Canada will beef up their tariffs on the red states that voted for this idiot in the White House. What a shame.

I support Canada! I'm a retired USAF veteran, and am embarassed by our loser of a president.

I stand with Canada, & Ukraine. I'm appalled with the course the U.S.A. is taking. I am a Virginian who is praying for the soul of my country.

I am so ashamed of my own country. This is not my president. And I'll never vote for another Republican again. I'm so sorry, Canada. I stand with Canada.

M. Trudeau. Vous avez fait tout un travail récemment à défendre les intérêts du Canada. Vous avez l'air fatigué et c'est compréhensible. Je vous félicite pour votre courage et détermination. Vous partez la tête haute.?

As a US Citizen, we deserve all of the worst that's coming. Not all of us voted for the Orange Turd, but unfortunately this is the situation we're in. I'm rooting for you Canada.

I'm an American.. I am so sorry this is happening to Canada. It makes me ashamed of my government! May God intervene, and may God Bless Canada! In the mean time...turn off the power too!

I'm an American. I'm with you Canada. Keep up the good work. Trump and company have to go. I pray before they have done irreparable damage to my country and yours.

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

I'm sorry Canada I didn't vote for that piece of shit but I'm sure going to have to pay for it

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

I'm American and I'm against Trump and his administration. Do what you have to do. He has no friends.(Trump) He is a fascist. In love with Putin. Go Canada GO

I’m: from Germany and we should welcome Canada to the European Community, we have so much more in common with Canada than we have with some of the countries in the EU, sabotaging the EU.

I'm American, and I didn't vote for the orange head. I support Canada

I'm in Montana and I stand with Canada! Thank you Mr. Trudeau and know that the vast majority of American's are on your side.

Michigander here who stands with Canada and Ukraine. I’m terrified with what’s happening to my country and the people in it. ?

I'm European, but I lived in Canada for a couple of months and actually got to see Trudeau speak live in Parliament. He gave a very different speech that day - a eulogy. I did not think then I would ever hear this man this very obviously pissed off. He's like one of those teachers that don't need to shout to show their students they are in big trouble. I don't know if I would vote for him if I was Canadian, but I would certainly be proud of him right now.

Why don’t we have president like Canada. I’m so jealous. This country is so unstable I have stop all major capitalizable \nInvestments.

As an European I'm standing behind Canada and Mexico. America has voted a convicted criminal into the WH who always lies and only thinks about what is good for him. This is on the MAGA cult and those who didn't vote. Your so called leader is the biggest terrorist from within

I'm American, I'm cheering for Canada. Our government has broken its word to yours. I do not believe that Trump's actions represent the wishes of most Americans but many of them DID vote for him (and the utterly spineless Congressional Republicanswho enable him) and all of us are going to pay the price, quite literally.

I'm an African American all the way from Houston Texas and I stand with Canada

Yes Canadians are cultured , educated accept diversity and beautiful people . I m immigrant but I feel like home here in canada and always work in the best interest of canada ❤️❤️❤️

I'm so sorry Canada - most of us here can't stand Trump and didn't vote for him. Please forgive this offensive betrayal of our countries' historical friendship

I'm canadian here in Canada - most of us despise trudeau and are struggling to survive under his high tax regime. We want trudeau to sit down and shut up and stop robbing us Canadians of a living and of our election. We have wanted an election for months now. He has denied us that.

I‘m German and European, and stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico. This Trump administration is mentally sick. Psychopaths.

And a American. I'm with Canada. There's no going back once the goods are up in price. ?

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

It does NOT make sense! I'm with Canada! FUCK Rtump!

I'm an American...I stand with Canada and Ukraine...The tariff is not about fentanyl... it's about Trump wanting Canada as a state.

I'm a proud Michigander who stands with CANADA!

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

As an American and a Trump supporter, I agree with these tariffs, but only equal to the tariffs other countries charge the United States on our imports. I do not agree with imposing this on our brothers and sisters to the north. I’m speaking of the good people of Canada. I have traveled to Canada and crossing the border was just like crossing into another state. Yes, there was a border gate which there should be, but I had absolutely no problem whatsoever. I hope our government can work this out very quickly and stop this foolishness. But to countries like China and Europe the United States should charge a reciprocal tariff as to what you charge us on our import. It’s only fair. Why are we paying an exuberant tariff for our goods entering your country and you expect to pay nothing with your goods entering ours. Most Americans, love Canada and love our Canadian brothers and sisters, we’ve always supported each other in world, wars, and other attacks against our respective countries. I pray this is resolved quickly, and then we can once again live United and in harmony.
