Hope they are safe and made it through

So are we gonna see a real life reenactment of fallout? Cuz i hope no

Hoping very much that Mark Carney is our next PM. ???

I will help you because you turned blind.\n\nTrump followed the Putin doctrine.\n\n1: Ally with Oligarchs \n2: Paint a false picture about the world/brainwash people.\n3: now for the future (make Americans more poor) that way they have less power.\n\n4: Take the territories you like for legacy. (If Trump snatches Canada and Greenland) USA will be the biggest country in the world.\n\nCongratz The world now has one more dictator to deal with.\n\nHope this was what the voters hoped for.

Canada!!! We in EU love you ; I hope that countries who value humanity over greed and power will overcome in the end. Possibly/hopefully EU can support you in the struggle.

I hope Mexico and Canada can defend themselves against American aggression

Canadian here. The Canadian Pm already resigned, I hope he can just keep silent and say nothing from now on as he have already done enough damage to Canada the last 9 years. Canada don’t need him.

I hope CNN is on the America’s side of this… me and my family were once an immigrant who went through due process and with God’s love, we are proud to be American. But I also pray for these families who are truly looking for a better life..

As a South Carolinian I take this as an act of war. I hope Trump sends in the coast guard so that branch can finally capture a nation.

? More than 100,000 people tragically die each year due to drug abuse, and over 7 million have lost their lives to the “China Wuhan Virus.” We hope for more *common sense* to help the world during this pandemic, which originated in China ?? ?

I hope people that voted for Caligula are happy now

I dont think Canadians understand that 3 of our states have bigger economies alone than Canada does. This will end very bad for Canada the longer it goes. Hopefully we, and the new incoming Canadian administration, can get it figured out because i dint want to see ordinary Canadians suffer due to the incompetence of their outgoing liberal PM.

If they illegal they have to go ??were they Amerika first. And i hope Germany weck up to .?✈️? Remigration ??

Hopefully Canada and Canadians grow some balls and learn from this

I hope Canada realizes the American public may have voted for the president by a margin of votes but not all Americans support the tarrifs nor are the tarrifs on Mexico wanted.

Trump NOT taking Trudeau CALLS, NOT SURPRISED, here in the USA, Americans DO that when they've done Something to target You and right After they Deny ALL Communication with you-typical American-Arrogance. Hopefully, Trump will NOT have to REGRET his Decisions.

Hopefully the military is there now

Hopefully policy didn't join went gdp data come out ???. Policy join look likely some cheating.

Especially cars and trucks. Like Stellantis has their main plants in Mexico and shut down its USA main operations one. I hope us in Canada we'll ally sanctions with Mexico. Gas + Auto combined is going to bite hard.

I don't like PM Trudeu but must say, he gives me a reason to respect him, I hope his commonsense will work now properly

If Americans are laughing or proud about their president I hope they understand that those sentiments might change drastically. It's not a threat by any means, I am all for pacific means to resolve conflicts but if push comes to shove and sovereignty has been flirted as leverage, Americans should realize that they cannot sit happy and still.

Biden made them think it was a right and now he is off eating ice cream and our country is a mess! I hope another democrat does not take power unless he is a moderate and really wants to see America fixed! I am so glad so many are seeing the truth and voting accordingly!

So I take it those who thought J6 was an insurrection, must think this is a peaceful protest? I am not into intentionally hurting anyone, but how is this any different to an invasion and I would hope that our law enforcement would take a more proactive stance to a full on invasion of our country…______ and ask questions later…

This is the best thing that could happen. I hope we stopped all trade with Canada Mexico, and make everything in America. We need jobs here.

I like Canadians I hope things don’t escalate ?

I hope Canada wants to eat all their food. We in the USA already have the same products.

I hope the Eu is ready to help Ukrain and with the tariffs... It's time Eu wakes up and ditches the Us before it's too late. Because the orange man next hit list is Europe and the Uk.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!

Mexico has to throw the Canadian government under the bus, they are not trustable, specially that Doug Ford who thought Americans were friends, hope he bites his tongue.

I hope Canada follows through with their tariffs. We need to hit those who voted and aided trump - it’s the only language they will understand! Yes, Musk will sue Canada, he’s such a wimp, but trump/musk started this fight!

Anti-trump American here. I hope I speak for the tens of millions of Americans that absolutely DO NOT accept this activity. Trump’s actions are pointless, harmful, dangerous and unacceptable, especially to our allied neighbors. If Canada and Mexico have to retaliate I do not blame them. I cannot believe this is happening ?

Hopefully people around the world respond by buying as little as possible from the US (especially from the billionaires and states that support Trump). Trump is going to try to divide and conquer, and if the US will attack Canada, no democracy is immune.

ah yes...those countries which offer nothing aside from crime and corruption. Somalia has the biggest scroungers - UK knows this. ... Well done Trump! hope other countries follow suit.

Only time will tell who will really suffer. But I do hope this would only be a short term. Trump only wants to re-negotiate in my opinion. This is his way to start talking.

I hope Trump double down on tariffs against the clowns

I am a citizen of both Canada and the EU. I hope Canada will soon consider strengthening its economic relationships with the EU, especially as the southern neighbour becomes increasingly aggressive and unpredictable.

Trump's lifelong love for tariffs is not economically driven but to wield power. In most power plays in the private sector he got away with it and was able to stiff subcontractors and business partners with less resources and less criminal energy than himself. I hope other countries won't budge and give from the start the right answer to this wannabe fascist power drunken criminal.

This American totally understands your need to protect your economy, Canada...and supports your decision. Hopefully one day, America will be forgiven for this madness--if it survives. ?

This is the consequence of depending on one country in everything. Diversify Canada. We love United States and we hope things gets resolved

Unbelievable! So there’s hope that I will start seeing Canada as a country one day ?

The Implosion begins. I just hope with all this infighting in the west. Maybe just maybe they will stop toppling governments and inserting puppets all aroubd the world.

Trudeau must go and the barking of provincial ministers like Legault in Quebec is pathetic!!! I was hoping that Legault would look for a partner in Trump, not an opponent! Legault forgot that the most important problem for Quebec is maintaining its national identity! Quebec's lack of cooperation with Trump's US is idiocy. The western provinces of Canada will take advantage of Legault's confrontational idiocy!

I must join the mega cultists so that I won’t be affected by any of this. Hopefully dump won’t find out that I didn’t vote for him because he would target me to suffer the wrath of is retribution.

If a shop becomes too expensive you find another one. Trump could find that with his insulationist outlook that all other countries will come together trade wise andthe US loses its political power globally. Here's hoping

Canada cant survive without living off the American tax payer.. dafukouttahere, hope Pres Trumps slaps the tariffs to ? ..sick and tired of the world living off the USA.

trump lies to his nation and others nations too. fentanyl is not even a real issue. theres like 1 percent of usa fentanyl coming from canada. i hope americans will get rid of him. this is an unjustified tariff against an ally country and its unacceptable. usa are responsible to take care of their own borders in the first place.

Hope you like using your own military Canada.

Llet's remember that the US GDP is 30.34 trillion dollars. Canada is only 2.33 trillion. Just one of the fifty States, California, has a GDP of over 4 trillion, almost twice as much as Canada. The total amount imported from Canada to the US per year is about 450 billion US dollars of goods. The US has the advantage by far in staying power here. Plus, Canada's leadership is on uncertain grounds, and Trump has a unified constituancy. He won all the swing States after all. I for one hope it all works out, but it's going to be Canada that will throw in the towel.

American here, I hope this doesn't come to military conflict. Wait, does Canada have a military? Asking for someone who doesn't understand a free ride. Any temporary price increase will benefit the American worker in the long run. We can hold our breath under water longer than you can until you become reasonable.

Hope our EU leaders and all the other nations will react the same way if americans impose tarrifs on us. New evil was born in the US.
