Maybe it's time for Canada to get together with Great Britain and with EU and put economic sanctions on the USA?

Trump is talking out of his ass. We are responsible for less than 1% of fentanyl. We pay more money to states than states pays to us. We helped with 911, their wars and their California fires. We invested Canadian money, & time & lost Canadian lives. When is USA paying us back ???? . \n\nTrump has sold USA to Russia. He is their puppet. \n\nThese tariffs will tank USA economy. \n\nCanada will be hit, but we will survive and thrive. \n\nTrump has united Canada. We will buy Canadian, support Canadians and create more Canadian jobs. We need to keep boycotting anything American. We need to raise prices to all products going to USA on top of tariffs & consider not selling some products. We need to make relationships with other countries who support Canada. We have pressure minerals, and oils. Let them figure out how to get them when Canada steps back.

Thank you Canada! I hope you know that most from USA do not support Rump.

The problem is you! Trump can’t stand you get out of Canada Traitor. Go live with your handlers that impressed you so much the Chinese. Let me be Cristal clear to you when faced with a sad reality as to who will puppet Canada I choose, I pick the USA over China any day traitor. you’re an embarrassment to your father now get out of town.

Dude the president of the USA did more that you could ever do for your own country !! \nAt least this will bring back industries in Canada !!! \n\nAnd tarrif it's absolutely not inflation.... increasing prices, yes, but once !!!\n It's not like printing money out of nothing ???

Canada stay strong! From Texas, USA. I wish you were our President!!!

I encourage citizens of Canada to not purchase anything from the United States. If any products from the USA come to Canada I hope you will refuse and turn away any products.

LORD God please bless Canada and protect them from the USA's bludgeoning crooked foolishness.

?man no one worried about Canada who is Canada if they want to smoke they can get it it's a joke USA!! 4life

This USAF Veteran stands with lthe USA. Tired of carrying Canada, especially on military defense.

All my thoughts to Canada. I pray usa will reconsider very soon

Canada needs make the USA hurt, cut off the energy!

Correct Mr. Praminister J. Trudeau. I do understand you. As I am Polish woman, I do support the Canadian people. President D. Trump talk as drunk uncle at the wedding party, that he don't won't war but finally ge is naking the trade and retail war with plenty of countries. Canada need be strong and have strong diplomacy. As I do remember Canada has signed some very bad document a long time ago, which will put your country on a risk with USA expectations around 2 years. So check ut and change the legislation as soon as possible to protect your country Stay strong

The USA should become Canada’s 11th province—by the people’s own free will! What a sharp and articulate President! That would be a total upgrade from Trump. ?

People forget that Canada has been ripping off the usa and has been subsidized by usa generosity for a long time. We have problems can't afford to continue unfair and unreasonable trade while our national debt continues to skyrocket.

I stand with the USA, traitors who live here should move to canada

What you don't understand is that all what we import from Canada we have here in US, we don't need to get it from Canada, they will have lot of problems if they will not find customer for their resources, Europe is in Putin pocket . So Canadian socialism as is will perish, because it was only possible do to deals with USA. I wonder who will protect Canada when Russia and Korea will come to idea to invade you?

If trump doesn’t stop his unjustified and stupid tariffs war, Canada, Mexico and other counties will crash and crush USA’s economy. It will take years for USA to recover if trump stay in place. The world will isolate USA.

Why is everyone tiptoeing around the real reason for these tariffs? Trump has made no secret of his true motivations. He wants to absorb Canada into the USA so he can exploit it's abundant natural resourses, redirect fresh water across the border and give their military free reign of the arctic regions of the country. Any and all other justifications and excuses he comes up with are little more than window dressings

Canada being placing tariffs on the USA for years .. and now that the USA says no more you guys all upset now .. we want a even playing field

No wonder Canada has decided to concentrate trade to Europe, American arms manufacturers are switching producing American arms production outside the USA.\n\nCountries effected by trumps tariff wars will be signing trade agreements to trade outside the USA pushing down offshore prices of a range of products American consumers already consume in quantity.\n\nEurope and other trading partners will benefit from these short term moves. Trade flows, capital will reallocate to off shore locations.

I hope everyone leaves behind agreements with USA \n\n\nFrom UE, Canada, Mexico and BRICS including Russia

Canada been mooching off the usa for decades! Maybe Canada should volunteer to drop all the tariffs they have on us if they want to be friends. Why is it ok for them to have tariffs on us but we can't have tariffs on them? Canada started this terrific war years ago and the USA NEVER DEFENDED THEMSELVES! Why do we call them our ally when all they do is take? We have a hundred billion dollar trade deficit with them already. Canada funds their imaginary socialist utopia off the backs of Americans and it's time to stop the bleeding.

Trump wants Canada and that will not happen. Canadians will look after each other and fight the USA

dont panic! countries been under full usa sanctions for 50years are doing fine, some tarrifs not gonna do anything to canada

All these people here who say they stand with Canada are mostly likely those who voted for this criminal to be in office.. the only thing he accomplished is avoiding prison. Nothing he does benefits the usa people. Fires federal workers, bankrupt usa companies and etc.. he has to understand that bringing companies back into the usa take times..

The USA has just 1/2 of the population Canada has 100 %. Make numbers.

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

When trump say secure ur border !?\nFentanyl just non racism to say\n\nTrudeau allowed INDIA ?? AND REGUGEE GETS IN CANADA ?? \n\nWHOM NOW BUSSING DWN SOUTH TO USA ??

Two possibilities, one he is doing Putin's bidding and destroying the USA. Two he is trying to weaken Canada to the extent that he can take them over and absorb them into the US.

I am Canadian and I don't trust Trudeau about Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a very serious problem in Canada. You can find it in schools and around corners of almost every community. Our government has no intention to solve Fentanyl problem here. If so, its not possible to stop the flow of Fentanyl from Canada to USA.

Good Speech and Plan. Canada, you are helping the people of the USA by helping to get Trump out of power. The sooner the better for us all. Just one nit -- Trump is not a very smart guy.

is not it open trade? USA can do whatever they want. Trump is doing it for his country. why do you talk it when it happens to only your country? They are doing the same thing to Iran, China and Russia for years. why did not talk like this when USA did same thing China and Russia and Iran. if they can do it to those countries, they will also do it to your country. What USA is doing to Russia, China and Iran for years is unjust and illegal. But as Canada you would not speak it out. If you do not talk about unjust, if you keep silent, that it would happens to you one day is inevitable. Speak for justice for everyone, not just for your country, dear Canada.

Demonstration of freedom when you don't have to win another election! Truth par excellence! Bold and justified. South Africa stand by Canada... and everyone vs USA.

there is a reason why america can slap with tariffs we trade in USD and the fed can print USD. Canada cannot. So when you slap with tarifs Trudeau you will get massive inflation, America can always buy since we trade in USD. Meanwhile value of debt goes down in the USA.

The thing is... the USA is sick and tired of being broke and we want a fair deal.Weve given Canada billions to make it a great country now we want billions to make USA a great country again.We want money and we are entitled to it.

Now can someone get the tRump to commit to stopping the cocaine from coming into Canada from the USA? Or how about the guns? It's a 2 way street here. We are doing our part, now you do yours. Keep your drugs and guns on your side of the border. Most crimes involving guns here are committed using American guns.

This is an act of WAR! Canada already had high Tarrifs against the USA. Trump only evened the playing field. Let’s go!!

I stand with Canada ?? you have my support do what ever you need to do to America you should cut all power to the USA and do what needs to be done

You are not body without USA. You should never level yourself with USA. You are worried about Ukraine more than you worried about Canada.

You sit there spending 0 on your own military and live off us like a leech. You want to talk about hurting American families, lets talk fentanyl. You havent done shit until President Trump hit you in the wallet. You also have tariffs on us. The USA is also running a huge defecit with Canada. Biden is gone and the screw job is over.

Why do you not allow America banks in your country while we have many? Why does the USA subsidize Canada with billions of tax payers dollars? This man is a liar and is out of a job in 2 weeks. I stand with my President Dj Trump.

Your Government Canada has let billions of drugs to come in USA.

The jt/jagmeet ndp/lib party of Canada has destroyed us. He is a liar, traitor, communist and a most despicable person. Stay safe USA.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

It's a drug WAR pushed by CHINA, CANADA & MEXICO! USA LEGAL CITIZENS have been PERSECUTED BY ALL! NOW that we FIGHT back everyone is crying in their cereal! We have been on the receiving end of bad deals for the USA for decades & no country spoke up for us! Things are changing. It will be a rough way for awhile.... But in the end all will see that TRUMP IS RIGHT!! A BALANCED SCALE IS THE ONLY WAY EVERYONE IS TREATED FAIRLY!!!

This isnt a personal Strike to Canada from the US, This is Business. \nSecurity isnt free and the US will not be hurt by this. \nFinally, the USA goverment is forcing manufacturung back to the US. \nThere is one winner from this and its not Canada. Mark my words. \nSpeaches like This one is only to peak the interest of ignorant and small minded people. \nWake up people. This is just Trudeau Using media to make it like Canada is being picked on. \nWill there be a Canada in 20 years?

Why are Canadian cities overflowing with homeless and drug addicts, crime up, homes/apartment unaffordable? Same in USA....I do not support trump, nor did I vote for him.....but hey, Trudeau destroyed Canada.......society is unraveling. This is simply another example.

All power in one stubborn hand and not listening to well wishers and joining hands with enemies a recipe for disaster of common man in both USA and Canada . Anyway our enemies are happy and laughing at our stupidity.

The news peole need to get their heads out if their a---s. fentenyl was just an excuse to for the pumpkin to put tarriffs on Canada andMexico to hide the fact he and his rich friends are robbing the country blind. No body wins in a trade war.trump has been inflating the amount of the deficit andnot taking onto account the services Canada also buys from the USA and the fact that we despite having a much smaller population is their best customer. Behind all this.the USA might check out what Trump and Putin have up their sleeves for Americans in the coming days
