Go back and listen to Trump on tariffs. If a country is fair with America, America will be fair with them. Americans do not realize how many tariffs we pay as a country. There are also countries that do not allow us to sell in their countries although they sell to America.\n\nFor years Canada has allowed a steady flow of illegals and drugs into our country. Now only after Trump calling them out they have started putting A FEW programs into place. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST YEARS.

Canada is not America's ally or friend. Ally/friend suggests equal partner. Canada is America's junior partner, a sidekick at the best. Canada blindly signed up for whatever war America was in, regardless of how ridiculous the war was, such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq. There is a simple solution to the trade war: join US as the 51st state and all tariffs will be gone. This is what Trump wants and he is serious.

there is no point in speaking to donald trump as if he is an american who cares about america. he doesnt. he is bought and paid for by russia and only works for THEM not us. hes a traitor and a disgrace

There a lot of us Americans that hate what Trump is doing! I just wish there was some way that we could get him out of office. He is most unintelligent person this world has ever seen. Do what you have to do, a lot of Americans who support you!

We have an enemy within named trump! But that does not excuse those that put him in office not one time but twice! What a disgrace. I’m scared for us!!!

If he doesn't like tariffs put on him, then he shouldn't have tariffs on us . That's why Trump has put tariffs on Canada

Wake the f up Trump wants to be a dictator and could care less about the US population. Treason is treason and Trump is treasonous to the core. Get rid of him now!

●Canada less than 1% fentanyl comes thru Canadian border. Canada doesn’t make any precursor drugs for fentanyl. Tariff 25%?\n\n●China -99.5% of precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl come from china. No regulations. Tariffs 10%??\n\nMost should know that the fentanyl coming thru Canada is less than 1% If your wondering where the other 99% is coming from,know this- china allows the sale of the precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl, and it's unregulated. They suppy the mexican cartels these drugs to make and sell which comes across Mexican borders into the US. If china regulated the precursor drugs it could stop fentanyl manufacturing in its tracks. Again 10% tariffs vs 25% tariff. There was a time that china cooperated & worked with the US on this but have since stopped.\nSo whatever is going on with the trump administration, it's clear by the numbers this isn't about fentanyl with Canada. Especially since he didn't extend the same tariffs to the country that could actually stop the making of this horrible drug.

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

I'm not rooting for Canada versus the US, my home country. I'm rooting for Canada versus Trump.

I think Canada will be better off than the US with these Tariff’s. The US government is grifting their people while Canada will help their businesses. Trump doesn’t care about US citizens, only his own glory.

Trump is not my president!!! ?????I live in Utah. We are with Canada, Europe and Mexico. Putin is enemy for all of us. He is manipulating with idiot Trump.

We're not your friend or your ally anymore after you committed this unprovoked act of war against us. We won't forget what you did even if Trump chickens out again - America is responsible for this. Enjoy having Russia as your ally instead.

Please remember Trump did NOT win the popular vote. The majority of us do not stand with Trump. God help us all. We stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine. We do not stand with Russia, China, or N Korea.

All this is cause by a puppet who is a convicted felon criminal we call our president....Could it get worse?absolutely impeach D*ck Stain Donald Trump and arrest and deport Elon Musk for being a POS billionaire and human being...MAGA SHIT ? God help us all from this madness

PRESIDENT TRUMP PLEASE COME LIBERATE US. THIS GUY WONT GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you to everyone from all over the world in support of Canada standing up to Trump. As a Canadian born in N. Ireland who loves the US, and have many friends there, i am emotional reading all these comments especially the us folks, it gives me hope. Im to old and broke down to be in on the front lines, but i will limp my way to fight for this country. We are not for sale.\nELBOWS UP\nPeace from Toronto

If we read how trump speak about governor Trudeau it's cleat Trump wants to make canada and Mexico the Ukraine of the north America! Maybe it's time to hit back at trump/VANCE AND CUT THE ELECTRICITY AND OIL OF ALBERTA RIGHT NOW ! AND KICK THOSE 2 CLOWNS OUT OF THE WHITE WHITE HOUSE CAUSE AMERICANS WILL SUFFER JUST LIKE US WITH THOSE STUPID TARRIFS

Trump is like Putin, a criminal convicted felon president, and a bully.\nI just regret that Canada did not also either tax all energy exports to the US, or simply cut all our energy exports to the US people who still elected a criminal at the White House.\nLet also buy all our armament elsewhere than in the USA. They don’t deserve our business and we should not trust them. ??

When you isolate the United States , like Trump is doing, you make us a easy target.

Trudeau would NOT help America by closing their border to the illegals Trump threatened him with Tariffs How much in Tariffs has Canada been imposing on US the highest than anyone else and this man is crying

Apple, Taiwan, Japan, and honda already invested billions of dollars to America just to avoid tariffs. Like trump said, everything will be built in US soil, from steel, cars, technology chips, etc. In addition, America is the biggest consumer in commerce. These countries need the US dollar. It's either invested in America now and built your products in America or pay the tariffs. Your choice... oh, and for eggs, the US spends $110 million (2023) in eggs from China... Good time for the american farmer to thrive, don't you think?

6:57 Perhaps this speech by PM Trudeau will prompt more voters, during the 2026 series of midterm elections, to send pro-tariff pro-Trump GOP members of Congress packing because it is those members of Congress not enough of whom have bothered to speak out on how the leader of their cult has simply made the US economy worse off.

As a Washington State resident, I have always and continue to love and respect our Canadian neighbors. This US fake president is a liar and shameful embarrassment to Americans. Mr. Trudeau is pulling his country together as trump is tearing our country apart.

Man dont call trump my president its insulting...To all our allies, most of us REAL americans dont like trump. Dont give in to him he wants you to cave first..DONT

The US almost sounds like Gilead. I’m so sad for Americans. I am a North American Indigenous person and live in Canada. Trump says he wants to make America great again and has only hurt the American people.

“The one thing he [Trump] has said repeatedly is that what he wants, is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy. Because, that will make it easier to annex us; is the second half of his thought… \n \n“We will never be the 51st State. But, yeah, he [Trump] can do damage to the Canadian economy… Let us not fool ourselves about what he seems to be wanting.” \n \n“This is a policy decision by the American government, designed to go after the Canadian economy… We’re booing a policy that is designed to HURT US!” We’re insulted, and we’re angry… We’re going to fight.” \n \n\t\t \t\t\t– Justin Trudeau (4 March, 2025)

I'm convinced that trump's prime goal is to completely destroy the US.

I do not blame Canada for standing up for their country and to trump and putin god bless us people in the USA they have never drank the koolaid and despise trump and his dictatorship and his worshippers

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

Trump is starting a new world order, read the bible! Trump says he is a Christian wrong he is not he is the devil that walks among us! I love my country. And the USA was always our neighbor! This is sad ???

Says the guy that told Trump when asked about the number one way the United States could hurt Canada would be through tariffs. PS - Oh no, $155B. What is that, like 4% of US imports? We will be fine. Go rip off someone else and fund your own defense.

There is stupid. Then there is RepubliCON stupid. Nothing to see here except Traitor Trump following Putin's orders & blowing up the US economy.

I guess USA citizens and Trudeau simply aren't getting it, Trump wants these tariffs because he WANTS to tax the heck out of the ordinary US citizen in order to pay for his tax cuts for his Billionaire friends.....Canada could have COMPLETELY stopped Fentanyl trafficking and Trump STILL would have invoked tariffs.....just like no matter what Zelenskyy could do, he was determined to make an EXCUSE to stop supporting Ukraine's war efforts.......in addition, if you didn't know better, it appears that Trump wants to team up with Russia......??????

NO… TRUMP DID THIS NOT THE US! NOW I CAN’T NEVER GET TO NIAGARA FALLS OR EVEN TORONTO. I HATE TRUMP

Wow, some do t like Trudeau but that’s a leader. Has 100% the back of canada. It’s about canada not anything else. Trump worries about nothing but trump. That’s the difference between us and the greedy USA. Oh, you have picked a fight with the wrong people……trust me on that. We are a country that stands together. We haven’t divided our country like trump has, we stand together.

I served alongside Canadian military when I served in the US military. They were very tough, honorable, and outstanding professionals. I have friends and family from Canada, and they love America. This trade war is so sad and so devastating for so many Americans and Canadians. These tariffs are so stupid, it's beyond reason. Trump is treating America's best friends and allies like enemies! This is not only dishonorable behavior by a US president, it is despicable!

I’m so sorry Canada. Trump is America turd . Help us flush him . I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukrainian.

Make it make sense Trump got the whole world mad at us.

Mr. Trudeau: Please DO NOT attribute this to the United States. This is Donald Trump doing this. There are zero sane and/or intelligent Americans who are for this. It's sad to hear you talk about us as if we all agree with the idiot in charge. God Bless America and God Bless Canada.

The US seems hell bent on destroying itself. So many people are going to lose their jobs as the US economy goes into freefall. If Trump imposes higher tariffs on Europe too, we'll respond in exactly the same way as Canada.

Please Sir, know this is Trump. Half of Americans did not want this monster that is Putin's puppet. I understand your stance. He's a crazy man that doesn't care about the majority of Americans. If I could leave, I would. May God help us all.

Trump is a big mistake for American. After 4 years in office, US will regret voting Donald Trump.\nThis is not the way to make US great. Imagine putting fights in all ur allies. That is a wrong fight. Change ur useless policies or US will go down in history from great nation to isolated nation. No nation can suceed alone. America is great today because of other nations. Time will tell

US of A, Should really consider the options from here on out. Governments, world wide are ashamed of Trump and do not care for his egotistical attitude. The assassination attempt has rot his brain, and created a dangerous individual. Allying with Putin is toxic, dangerous and will be the downfall. Just wait, it is coming.

Some people on here that should go live with Donald Trump and leave the rest of us to live in a country where we are kind, thankful and blessed with good neighbours .... One of the best countries in the world whose leaders are responsible law abiding adults. Not perfect country but one of the best in the world! ?

Fentynayl? Thats the reason? From Canada? Youve got to be fucking joking. They probably get more Fentynayl from by way of the US then vice versa.\n\nHow much mote delusional does trump have to be for his supporters think rationally for once?

Somebody said: once you realize trump works for Putin, everything he does makes sense. As an American, I fully support Canada on this non-sense from the US.

nice speech trudeau. Resist fasc1sm! resist trump! he should be imprisoned! we are counting on you to protect our jobs & speak up for us & oppose trump!

Yes Canada!! ? tarifs oil to US! Trump is an idiot

In summary: Trump, A flaming fool, has acted a fool, with dire consequences for the rest of us.
