Weird to think that instead of Canada being the 51st state, it’s the US that’ll be the Russian acquisition. Way to go MAGA! FAFO!!!

Man if Canada has all these minerals, I'm not sure it'll stay safe for long\n\nespecially since all of it's big population centers are so close to the US border\n\nI really really really hope I'm wrong

I just thought about something that many of us forget. There are thousands of Americans that go to Canada for cheaper medicine because they can’t afford it here. They will likely be hurt by all this BS.

As a proud US citizen who loves her country, I am disgusted over so many actions of Trump/Vance/Musk that display a lack of care for the American people and a disdain and arrogance for other nations such as ?? Canada. Trudeau you speak with character, clarity, class and thoughtfulness - ?. If only our own leadership had an ounce of any of those characteristics of true leadership such as Canada has displayed…

So why doesn't Canada just drop their terrifs of their products to the US?

Wesley Clark touched on part of what Trump wants - Canada’s North. He doesn’t want to work with us, he just wants it!

lol…Canada has no balls to retaliate US by hitting tariffs all in one go. Cowards

Fuck, see what you idiots who voted for trump did. Eggs cost $1 each, Canada is hating us now, everything cost more now, Russia gonna take over Ukraine… Sad to be American these days.

Irrelevant woke Canada in need of diapers and a pacifier. Let's be honest, Canada has always been a virtual 51st state aside from being a monarch territory. After all, the King of England's face was quickly and proudly put on the currency when his Mommy Queen expired. Oh and let us not forget that the 51st state proudly gave standing ovations to NAZIS in the monarch owned parliament.

The US did not slap tariffs on Canada, the boss of the US did it-against the American people’s best interest. Out of spite & a revengeful rotten soul.

Well well Justy, what don’t you do not understand about Canada to stop drugs being allowed to enter across the Canada US border???

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

Canada, will you accept us if we want to become citizens of your company???

Stop talking while he’s speaking. We’d rather hear from him than your commentary. I am in the US and stand with Canada.

Canada sells us 250 billion dollars more than they buy of our stuff so boo hoho Americans are sick of r so called allies screwing us

We can get everything we get from Canada from Australia, the only country with a trade surplus with the US. ?? ??

Canadian here. Trudeau is a ? . He's a slick double-talker who should no longer be out representing canada because he supposedly resigned weeks ago! Why isn't anyone saying anything about that?! Trudeau WANTS this trade war with the US because it is his last desperate attempt at clinging onto power. His party has been gaslighting canadians into accepting his corrupt ideology under the guise of being a liberal (trying to cancel elections, suppressing free speech, telling canadians they dont need to vote, etc). Wake up world! Do not judge a book by its cover! Just because he's handsome and has nice socks does not make him a nice guy!!

Canada and us is one hand, it’s very sad day!

The master plan is probably align with Putin and squeeze Canada until it becomes a US territory.

The US sends far, far more illegal drugs and illegal guns into Canada than Canada sends to the US.

As an American I am once again infuriated! I wish we could get rid of this dictatorship in our country! He fires at random and without justification. Now he wants us to go through a Great Depression. It’s not Canada’s fault! I hope most Canadians know that most Americans love our neighbors and are mortified by the great pumpkin and his antics. I’m scared of being taken over by Russia

We do not care if it hurts us here in Canada as long as it hurts the orange Jesus

Canada and us Democrats, it's time to stop being so polite!

Respect, Monsieur Trudeau, enfin un politique qui parle juste, sans détour mais sans les excès qui caractérisent les discours délirants de l’agent du Kremlin qui occupe actuellement la Maison Blanche.\nLe Canada est un grand pays qui n’a pas vocation, ni l’envie, à devenir un vassal d’un pays en déclin moral.\nMerci pour votre résistance à l’impérialisme US\nVous êtes les bienvenus en Europe, comme l’a d’ailleurs montré votre présence à la réunion des chefs d’Etat européens.\nSoyez notre 28eme étoile !

EU ❤Canada | US ??????

Worry about your shitty country of Canada goofy boy I thought you got the boot. What are you doing? Still here we don’t need you. You need more of us than we need you.

Canada watch your border very closely you are dealing with a mad man in the US, he has already said he wants you as the 51st state. I know this sounds absurd but the things I have seen happening in the US, nothing would surprise me now.

So he's saying Canada will continue to not pay their contractual UN obligations to help defend Ukraine, (and other countries in conflict), and will instead be dumping the penalty for non-payment on his own people and the US tax payers who have been supporting his country's debts for decades?

What if Trump stops all Canadian Visa’s into the US? They love to come here for 6 months out the year and buy property . If he cuts that out it’s over for Canada . This can get UGLY

The relationship between Canada and the US is because of Trudeau. He isn’t getting his way so he is making a huge mistake with his disrespect toward our Great President Trump. Canadians want Trudeau to step down. \nHow do I know? I have a huge number of relatives there. My mother was born there and my dad served honorably in the Royal Canadian Navy during the second World War.\nTrudeau is and always has been hateful toward Canadians. Canadians do not respect or like him. \nBy the way… we are boycotting CNN.

I am a US citizen who does not want trump as president. I don't want these tariffs against Canada or Mexico. I'm so sorry trump is doing these tarrifs. Do what you must for your people. I'll support Canada and the Mexican people. Thank you

As an American, the intellectual majority of us stand with Canada and abhor our current president's policies and actions towards our allies. He is an embarrassment to the US.

WHy was Trudeau waiting for Trump to tell him to stop sending Fentanyl? US Shoudl launch military attacks on Canada's drug lord and middlemen who are doing this? Impose sanctios n canada and issue arrest warrants for Trudeau and his cabinet.

Trump wants to cripple Canada economically so that his billionare buddies can buy us up for pennies on the dollar. He's working with Putin to divide up the world and take the spoils by force.

Proud of you Canada, don't let that mango moron bully you. No doubt he will be trying it with us in the U.K soon enough.

Dear Canada: Please know that most of the citizens in US are appalled by all of the horrible things going on. Trump and Musk and all the rest that agree with this horror show are despicable.

As a US army veteran I stand with Canada fuck trump

Justin Trudeau, you did this to Canada. It’s so disrespectful calling the sitting President Donald. Why don’t you go raise carbon taxes, send our money to Ukraine and bring in another 10,000 Sudan’s when your people are sleeping on the street. This speech is a joke, look at yourself in the mirror and say all this to yourself. Also, stop lying that only a small percentage of fentanyl go into the states from Canada! You’re lying and need to stop holding our country hostage so the conservatives can clean up YOUR mess just like they’re doing in the US! Thanks to you many Canadians are excited and wish to become the 51st state because you’ve made Canada such a threat to the US National Security. You brought in millions of unvetted immigrants, terrorists and allowed so much crime. CNN shame on you. You’ve fed these poor people so many lies they have no idea of the corruption going on. Thank God Justin is gone. Bye Bye Governor Trudeau.

Trump wants to break Canada weakening them to make them the 51st state. Canada there are other markets to trade with. Companies are going to move from the US and with them so will your trade route.

The US is our biggest ally here in Costa Rica but I can´t agree with what Trump did, does and will continue to do. Disrespectful to all countries. I'm sure the majority here are rooting for Canada and Mexico.\nIts time for the world to remind the US that they need us all and not the other way around.

Just Ike our Country (Canada)\n\nSaid ; your president kept: insulting. \nOur Prime Minister- by cslling \n\nHim Governor : that is an insult to our \nPrime Minister of Canada ?? \n\n\nWe will never be. Part of the us ,\n\n\nAnd your country is. Cosing up to \n\nRussia ! \n\nCanada ?? is your friend \n\n\n\nIt’s all about. Your president \n\n\n\nWanting our country to become \n\nA part of America \n\n\nThat is what this is all about \n\n\nCanada ?? I’d not for saie \n\nAnd never will be. !

I stay with the gentle and stable strength of Canada. From inside the U.S.\n\nMany of us are resisting the Trump regime.

Who convinced Trump of this? I like him but this trade war against Canada isn’t the way to go, really. I feel Canadians were mistakenly targeted. US needs allies not foes. Proud of Trudeau for the first time. I don’t live in the US but in Canada at the moment, not Canadian either, but I’m very objective in my perception about these occurrences. I hope America makes peace with Canada so strengthen both sides, hmmm.

If US imposes tariffs on Canada prices go up for people in the US. So if Canada imposes tariffs on US prices go up for people in Canada? How is this a retaliatory? Wouldn't it just be hurting the people in both countries?

As an America who supports US Global Relationships, we're so sorry and we support Canada's decision 100%

Great speech! As an American, I'm on Canada's side in this fight. The American tariffs should not have been implemented. Their purpose is to hurt both countries, to soften us up for Russian dominance.

Doesnt canada charge us tariffs already????

As an American, I am so sorry ? Many of us stand with Canada and Ukraine, our allies and friends.

Im American and i don’t care about other countries. Im for America and only America. Ukraine has been taking and taking out money. Weapons and we get nothing. Yet the EU is going to get their money back, but not us. And Canada got that tariff because of the fentanyl that’s coming across you and the Chinese border. So I don’t care if Canada is mad

I stand with Canadian people as well but Trudeau is a pile of shit dictator and has absolutely no regard or respect for his nationnor anyone else's. He inky cares for his $20k lunch in his private jet flying to his penthouse suite in NYC to talk to other dictator tyrants from NY. Sorry Canada but yall been using us for way too long and we're tired of it.
