From Denmark ?? \nThe government in USA keeps being aggressive towards all its allies, tradepartners, neighbours, Nato, ukarine, and so on.\nUSA president creates a lot of problems for everyone, and even tries to twist facts every one beside Russia & Northkorea.\nTrumps might take US down in the dark the next 3y+\nWhile the rest of the world will work even closer together.\nSeems US want to isolate them self with other dictator stats like putin...US have there own big problems to solve, mainly with their own president & so-called puppet vice president..vance.

Trudeau called the US President smart (?) because that is what he wants to hear to boost his small ego.

As a Canadian I can tell you it is a supremely miserable feeling to have a nation which we have such strong feeling for strike at us like this. It is equally miserable to know that our tariffs will also cause pain to Americans. We are sorry, and I know that is cliche, but we are. Have no doubt, if you know us at all, we will fight back passionately, vigorously and indefinitely. President Trump has done what no one should ever do: put our backs to the wall. We have no choice but to fight back. God help us all!

Amazing how many people from different countries start getting mad when we come knocking for fair traid. We're-200 billion trade deficient with Canada and now they're up in arms. We've givin Ukrain 350 billion and Europe has the audacity to call us wavering support? You've given them 100 billion in loans. Hate the US all you want but we backed up our words. Yall didnt.

Canadians have had tarriff on US Goods for years. so honestly bring it.

I’m a Canadian and I’m ashamed of our prime minister. We have a drug problem in Canada. We shouldn’t legalize drugs here. Just look at our Hastings st in Vancouver. Trump has ever right to do this to us and we have to ban all drugs here

Don’t pick a fight with the US. You want to talk about wars that can’t be won, that’s a war you won’t win Canada. We have hardly lived five years without a war. Don’t go there. We are a resilient nation.

Bloody good damned speech, Trudeau. Thank you. Sorry to lose Jack. But. Oh well. Rather be on side side of this rubbish. Canada, your the damned best. Thank you for helping us out.

The trumpers won't understand until it hits their wallets. The pain must be felt for half of the US to wake up.

we dont need ur shit canada U NEED US!!!!

This is a sad day for Canadians our ally and friend has stabbed us in the back to take our country. Canadians are heart broken that this has happened. We do not understand why. I have always felt welcome travelling to the US and celebrate our shared values. It is in comprehensible that the US warms to Putin and turns its back on allies.

As an American I am absolute ashamed and disgusted at what is happening to our standing in the world thanks to DJT. And I’m so sorry at the way this is affecting our allied countries and their citizens, our friends. I’m so sorry you have to fight this fight because so many of us failed to stop the fascist oligarchy takeover at home

I'm a US citizen I did not vote for Trump I vote for anybody but Trump. The Canadian leader that is a real leader someone who cares about his people and his neighbors.. I mean why are we picking a fight with Canada?

If you stop assuming Trump serves US interests, everything starts making perfect sense.

Our government was stolen from us.

We voted to be more independent from other countries. We voted to make America a producer again. \nIf Canada and everyone else wants to be butt hurt about it then so be it. It also makes sense to alight yourself with the country that could take out all of the other countries. Putin won’t live forever either. This is about the long game. America first! \nWe don’t need yall and yall don’t need us so you shouldn’t care and flip out over tariffs lmao

For the intellectually challenged President Trump is slapping these tariffs on Canada because immigrants are flying into Canada and entering the US as illegal aliens. Canada is not curbing the fentanyl entering our northern border.\nTrudeau has not shown the WH he is serious about locking down his side of the border. Maybe Canada should start there.

Trump, we Canadians despise what you are doing to us and Mexico, and to your very own people. And for what purpose? You will not aquire control of the entire American continent. Not if we can help it!!

Wish we had a leader like that in the US. Instead we have a bunch of tech bro oligarchs, propping up an old shriveled orange as their figurehead.

Greatest respect. So sad to see the USA unraveling at warp speed and damaging us all. ❤??❤️?? all strength to Canada, Europe, Ukraine, we stand with you.????????

Most Americans are ignorant to the Elitist policies plaguing their nation - shall we see what happens if the new world order doesn’t favour us no more?

Canada ?? ?? American minority ? Patriots who VOTED for Democracy and Kamala Harris ?? say ??Trumps?? 79million voter's don't speak for the other 200 million of us.\nWe and the world ? don't need him.? He's a fraudulent business practice con-artist.

I'm teary ? while watching this.\n DONALD TRUMP Why you're doing this to us all? YOU ARE FULL OF GREED. MAY ALL THE WEALTH YOU WANT COMES WITH YOU 6 FEET UNDER.\n .. We CANADIANS will fight until the end. ?? ? ?? ? ?? ?

2018 Trump put tariffs on Canadian lumber and the cost to build a house or any thing requiring lumber went up. House insurance went up as the replacement cost using lumber had gone up. Any business with a relation to lumber had gone up. The US has given itself cancer and cut cancer prevention research. Trump is the unwitting AntiChrist.

Trump doesn’t care about anyone and anything, not even us Americans. \nHe only care about his pockets and Putin, another idiot

Boycott All US Products and Anything Musk . The EU , Canada , Australia , New Zealand , Japan , Mexico and many more Countries have a combined GDP much greater than the USA . Lets see Trump sell US made Products to Russians with an average monthly wage of Less than $400. US Dollars a Month ?

But Trump promised us that this would make America great again..

Trump needs his ass kicked; you should hit us with 40% tariffs, cut off all oil, and build stronger ties with the EU.

I just stopped playing with friends when they turned into dicks. Now as an Adult I want the border shut to anyone with a US passport. I want it shut to anything coming or going to America. Close the border. \nI'm cool with struggling so the Americans can be independent....

Hello Canada, \nThe Netherlands here (well, one citizen thereof). We love Canada; I speak for all the citizens hereof. Your troops liberated us at the end of WWII. We have not forgotten that. Now, we in Europe are facing Hitlers shadow, in Putin. Join us. Apply to become a member of the EU.

This is what will accelerate Canada past US. Weve been brain draining for too long...

From the States, I absolutely voted against all of this. Its so tiresome and will take us decades to recover from his first term, who even knows about this one...We need a way to hold an emergency vote of no confidence.

He is not our PrimeMinister he is a lie murderis teaser and has cost Canada. We don’t want him to speak for us or the liberals

As an American who has pride for our military and Canadian heritage, I stand behind PM Trudeau’s decision. He’s just playing defense. Like he said, the US and Canada are not just border allies, they have been our greatest friend. \nIf you are Canadian, please know not all of us voted for this clown who is ruining our country. From North Carolina

Even though most of us Canadians don't like Trudeau, we will always come together as a nation when needed.

Stupid US government.\nStupid voters.\nTo think that tariffs are good for the American economy.\nGood for American workers and consumers...

PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU - WHAT A REAL LEADER LOOKS LIKE. The big difference between Canada and the US is that the Canadian gov will be there to support it's people during this time and our White House will do NOTHING to help Americans -as a matter of fact they will treat us worse. TRUMP DID THIS - TRUMP HAS TO GO - before we lose everything we have worked for for over 200 years!!!

It DOES make sense. Trump is a Russian agent, codename Krasnov. He is ordered by Putin to create chaos in the west. That’s getting increasingly clear. The question is, are there any responsible forces left in the US, who can stop this madness? Or, ar we just driving down the road to full mayhem?

you will collapse before we do you cant afford this we cant either nut we can hold out longer than you can so now this is you dont want to see what we do next LOL MOST of you want to be americans anyways LOL thats says alot about your country.not trying to start shit either i love canada but the truth is the truth we dont need you guys but you need us i love how you guys try to tell us where we will see the effect we havent seen nothing and wont we know how to sustain for ourselves

Trump has done something id never thought id see. \n\nHe got all of us to agree with Tredeau.

The US Government only cares about themselves and the Rich

His tariffs are like throwing a pebble at an ocean. He is not tough and he isn't fooling anyone. Also, every tariff he puts on the US is gonna be matched and an additional 25 percent would be added on top. This is a dumb move.

As a Canadian this Trudeau is an absolute B A S T A R D And has held us hostage for 10 years crippling our economy before this tarrif war kicked off which he himself caused by doing absolutely nothing about anything except gay pride movement this WEF puppet Trudeau is a LIAR and everything he’s spoken he’s done to Canadians before this distraction.don’t kid yourselves he a spoiled platinum spoon fed trust fund baby who’s achieved nothing of importance on his own

I trust Justin wayyyyy more then trump and sadly I'm an American...smfh I hate dictator trump he's hurting my family and urs...but these brainwashed cult members has fycked us all

What is wrong with Trump. We used to be friends, but now US have new people in leading positions and all went to s*it. As European citisen i would like to see we are all friends like we used to be for 80 years. Or am i weird?

CNN. FENTANYL! IF Trudeau can pronounce it correctly, why can US anchors not? Just one case.

It's just the worst timeline to live in, our entire list of allies will turn their backs on us and we'll be left alone with Russia and DPRK as our only backing. Canada, I will fight by your side if there is ever some war between our countries.

Canada is just another star on US flag, they just don't know that yet.

The days of canada, and the rest of the world, crapping on the US are over. Good riddance to trudeau.

German here, living in the US and standing with Canada ??
