Back down canada, and listen to Trump please, drop your arrogance, America have been helping you for long

Canada has benefited way more than America benefits from them so trump needs to tax Canada more.

Hopefully this is a big wake-up call to Canada that it’s time to stop relying so much on America for trade and start making deals with other countries.

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1

Canada's gdp is 2.97 trillion Americas gdp is 35.6 trillion. Please tell me who is going to win? Lmao fafo

I lived in Canada\nAll Canadians hate America and hate americans. Stop lying!!!!!!!

Thank you, PM Trudeau, for looking out for America & its people as well as Canada & its citizens. The bizarre aberration which is Trump is a threat to all.

Australia stands with Canada, Europe and Ukraine. America will become another isolated country run by a despot that serves Russia, no better than North Korea, and the American people will suffer the same poverty North Korea and Russia suffer because only the rich elites benefit under fascist dictatorships.

Haaaa haaaaa ???? bring it Canada. Let’s see how this works out. I’m an American, I stand for America. We don’t need Canada or Ukraine ???????\n\nMAGA!!!!!!!

So Robert and the rest you idiots it’s OK that Canada has high tariffs against America and because America wants it to be equal you all are having a bitch fit

As a 60 years old french Canadian I have all the reason to not love Trudeau, because he remind me how his father treated us, never vote for him, but today I saw a men (finally) standing up and take the lead for our country. Yes Canada is still my country and I like the way he directly adress to your president. I have so many American friends on both side( D and R ) and I hope they understand that what he said is not directly apply to United State citizen, wake up America before it s to late.

Trade wars always comes before an actual war (happened before WW1 and America waged a trade war with Japan prior to WW2). I predict America will be invading Mexico first in a blitzkrieg and then when the US economy is in a war economy it'll try to invade Canada. Heck Trump has already stated as much when he said Canada will be the 51st state of America.

This Canadian president is a leader.!!! Canada wont stand alone with out getting world wide support USA have been a superpower for decades and a true democratic country that the world admired. Today this have come to a end. 2025 will go down in history for the year when Americas greatness and No1 econemy ended. The respect and the trust for USA under Trump is long gone!!! For Trump to put tarifs on canada just to make them suffer so trump can get Canada as its 51 state is mindblowing. Trump aint putting those tarifs on Canada because of fentanyl when it comes from china. Tarifs on China is another story but that will hit the US market to and companys. I cant belive the americans are just swallowing this whole without doing anything or can a president do whatever damage he wants without consequenses?

Trudeau should step down, he is a DISGRACE TO CANADA an to AMERICA . ??

On behalf of all Americans with an active brain i do sincerely apologize for the dumb tariffs imposed by Trump and Musk and i hope that after Trump leaves office we can get someone who understands tarrifs and its effects and who will revoke this tariffs and restore the healthy America and Canada relationship once again.

All empty. Trudeau or Canada for that matter doesn’t have the means or guts to take on Trump or s America

As an American, who did not vote for trump i side with our neighbors in Canada, then and now. America should maintain and further their status as leader of the free world and free trade. Not try to bully other countries, especially not our neighbors and allies.

Every day I now get up and never felt more depressed about what Trump is doing not just to Canada, Ukraine, Europe. Wake up America before it’s too late. Surely you can’t support a so called president that if he is let will take Greenland, Gaza , Canada . I hope not, stand firm . He is as bad as Putin in my eyes!

This was a absolute gem of a speech by Trudeau. As a Brit I am proud to be friends and ally with Canada. Even if we have to go against America, we will do together.

The us has fallen so low there isn’t any further it can fall.\nNew Zealand here. We stand by Canada and stand for freedom!\nI will not buy a single product made in America until this madness ends.

How much money does America give to Canada already. You are a dictator and need to step out of the way and let someone else who is really interested in the well being of the Canadian people and not his own interests.

Next up Canada will b America least there cost of living will go down and they will have constitutional protections

From Mexico … ?? we love our neighbors USA ?? and Canada ?? … we need too work together!!! Let’s make North America stronger and unified again !!!!

All countries must do what Canada is doing we tired of republican thugs trump his a devil sick crazy old man imperialist we are not leaving in the olden days the world has change America will be finished soon

Canada as a member of the Commonwealth countries has a KING long live KING CHARLES. america has a tiny orange albino known worldwide as the dumbest human alive congratulations america you voted for him now prepare to suffer america brougth this upon themselves.

As an American I Understand and Respect your Decisions. You must Protect your Country and its People. At this time this Administration under America's Care. Cannot be Trusted! It has been laid bare for the Whole World to See? Donald Trump is in some way Beholding to Putin. Why else would He Cowar to a War Criminal over Working with Friends in Democracy ? It appears that this Administration under Donald Trump is working with and siding with a War Criminal with Criminal Intentions to Divide up The Spoils of the World after they do Everything to Destroy it.\nStand Strong Canada You are The Better of The World. Stand up for Right ,for Truths and for Democracy. We are all Depending on You now.\n??❤️

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

Got to love how Justin has to talk to Trump. Like a kid. We have done big things and you're a smart boy. Got to praise the cult leader to make him happy. I truly wish Justin was our president. What a great person and he speaks clearly and is smart. He isn't annoying or an idiot like trump. We truly live in the stupid timeline. Canada is going to get their items from Europe and Asia and South America. So congratulations America we are about to lose so much. Trump is making us weaker.

Canada, do what you have to do, we understand. Half of America hates this loser and his administration. I am with Canada, always!

he seems awful worried about america. time for other countries to pay their dues, no more america giving other countries everything. bye bye canada.

I wonder if Mr. Trudeau knows we (America) can take Canada for our own land if we wanted in 48 hours

I am so glad he is standing up for Canada. I am so glad that Trump is standing up for America! See how that works. That's how it should be.

Canada isn't a friendly country towards America time to end this BS you will fall and so will your country. \n\nTrade war lol

My guess is, if Canada joins America as a province, it would be good, America could be really big for the next strategy against Russia + PRC, because it connects America, Canada, Alaska, it's really a big country, oh I forgot about Mexico too. Bigest in the world... Then lets warrrr

México nowdays has a efficient, knowledgeable. and honest president that wanted to have fair trade agreements with Canada and the United States ...however the US government choose to fight and blame the neighbors to the north and south by braking every single rule of the free trade among the three countries ......CHINA , CANADA AND MEXICO ....oviously will retaliate the same way and Definitely the US citizens will be the most hurt ....mexico always have been resilient from wars. Pandemics , bad politicians , economy , etc etc etc ....mexicans have the strength to recovery sooner than later and this one won't be diffrent .....mexico will continue to have agreements with Europe. Asia , and Latin America with the option to have talks with bricks ...we all know the world is totally diffrent.now .....The 1800s are gone and will never come back that's for sure !!

Need to bring jobs back to America and let Canada go figure out their lifestyle

Canada has been sucking on the teet of America for too long. They need to be their own country and stop relying on the US. They can't defend themselves without us. That alone should require some kind of compensation. Everyone including Canada has taken advantage of the USA for to long and when we stick up for ourselves we're the bad guys

Excellent absolutely great new n trump wanted Canada to be 51 states of America what’s a shameful is because trump’s gold n his treasure thankful n respectful ?❤️‍?❤️‍?????????

Why Trump why Canada. I hope America survives

America stands with Canada. trump is a demented moron.

All of Great Britain and Europe stands with Canada. KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD. And that is not America.

America isn't great anymore. I stand with Canada ??

Thank You President Trudeau! Many millions of Americans support you and Canada. Our Fat Orange President and JT Vance are in Putin's Pocket. Wake Up America!

Trump is right !! Canada took advantage of us for decades!! That time is done !! We coming to collect!! God bless America ??

Canada, Americas loss, Europe’s gain. What a great partnership we will forge with the Canadians. ?????

As a Canadian by birth and an American citizen and US veteran by choice I detest Donald Trump. Trump is cancer that has metastasized to the whole Republican Party. General Milley was right when he said that Trump is the most dangerous person in America and by extension, the whole world. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

We don't need anything from Canada we have it all here in America.

Ukraine is a lost cause and not America's problem, Canada should send some of the millions of Indians they're happily replacing their citizens with to go die in Eastern Europe instead of demanding the US play babysitter for the rest of the world for no gain

Pay up the same way America does. Canada has tarrifs on America, but you cry when America puts tarrifs on your country. Man up little man. ????????????????

America stands with Canada and Ukraine - Trump and his oligarchs are TRAITORS occupying the white house
