Trudeau you need to resign you have a hatred attitude Be a smart guy yourself and try to work with the President of America Take your big car plan business to America so you don’t need to pay any tariffs Well you do send your vehicles to America

Great speech from Justin Trudeau! A real president! Take not, Mr. Trump! This is how you run your country!

No its simple, you take as much as you sell. Simple financial mathmatics.\nIm sure the US can sustain not having canadian products.\nHere in the uk we dont want your goods if you dint buy ours.

Canada doesn't seem to understand that we don't need them. We can make everything in america its simple. Thats the route trump is going. Sorry canada but time to take care of yourself. Its sad but canada should be able to take care of it's ppl on its own

Are people _FINALLY_ going to see reality? Trump wants as much discourse as possible. His major plan is to declare a reason for Martial Law, to take complete control of the government/country. As I have said this before, for years, all I received in return is to be called a Russian BOT! Well, guess what? It's going to get much, much worse! And, YES, it's the democrats, also.

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

Dump is NOT a smart man! If his IQ breaks 110 I'll eat my hat! But he won't take an IQ test, will he? Because he can't read!

Donald Trump has been compromised, he has been bought and paid for by Putin the Russian empire. He has no business being in the oval office let's start the impeachment process now. Donald Trump is cashing in on the American presidency with Russia. I'm sure we'll find out down the road that he's been taking payoffs from the Russian government for a long time. I'm sure Putin's got plenty of dirt on Donnie.

You morons in the comments have you forgotten how Castro's son Justin, silenced free speech, shut down your businesses, locked you out of your own bank accounts, stole money that Americans sent to help the truckers survive after Trudeau seized all their bank accounts. What has Trudeau ever done for you, ayeee??? \nKentucky here, we don't care if Canada takes our bourbon, lol, stupid reporter. Oohh, we are so scared now. Shut the front door, propaganda itch!!! Suck it !!!!

Leadership not a Coconut busines. They took war aganst Iraq without a reason taking advise from shyco garbage person Nut yahu, killed milions of innocents untill now they are suffering. Simply said Sorry

The dictator TRUMP IS TRYING TO BRAKE CANDA…to try to take over in the future??? Trump is a know-it-all men! Pride precedes a fall?

Trudeau has the full backing of the UK. I pray that the next prime minister takes the same stance as Trudeau. Trump is a dumb tosser who is hell bent on playing Putins fiddle.

I’d rather suffer than have people take advantage of our country???

Putin has trump by the balls. Putin has dirt on trump that’s why trump takes putin’s side.

We are not for sale! But if u whist, Take my otter body!

Well if Trump crashes the US economy then like… Liz Truss as prime minister in the UK he should resign as president… which then takes America from out of the frying pan into the fire with president Vance… and if he ever becomes president, I would say world war 3 will be inevitable.

Hey Little Donnie,take note! This is what a leader looks and sounds like. Note how he behaves! \nBTW, he’s not orange, and flailing his hands around like a dumb Asss!\n\nAmerican here from Nashville TN!

Ohhh y'all Canadian Trudeau want to work with us ..ok then help the USA from having Cartel's from crossing fentanyl n trafficking from your country to our country from the border. You can do that right now then Trump will take off the tariffs on you

To the people of Canada, I'm sorry. We appreciate you and understand any measures you take. There are still people of reason and integrity here.

Hi from Canada... When you look at a long line of MAGA't Zombie voters and you see them all smiling and collectively they make one complete set of teeth and then you allow them to vote in their golden pig and make him president, this is what you get! I realise that everyone that is good and decent in the USA bent over backwards not to look down or insult MAGA't types for fear of further alienating them, all it has done is backfired both upon good and decent Americans but upon the cult of Orange Jesus as well. So now we're left with this dystopian mess. Long past time to take the gloves off and get into the fight. Pretend you're all hockey players playing the Russians... leave it ALL on the ice!!!

The American people reject your one sided friendship. No more taking advantage of America. It’s time to pay us back for every dollar you have earned from us. Period

I sure hope our American friends don't take the retaliation personally.

? we just won’t let you take us for granted anymore ? how about you start focusing on not hurting your own citizens you douche ?

Oh dear. There was one line that has me more worried than any of them. “No matter what it costs we the federal government will be there for you.” Every time the government prints money and distributes it they decrease the value of our dollar. That’s how inflation works. Government doesn’t have any money. It takes the money from citizens and Re-distributes it. Please don’t help us by increasing government spending.

I am moving to Canada. this is what a leader looks like. take a good look MAGA sh*ts!

Trudeau, you damaged Canada and brought it to where it is right now you have no right to speak on anything and tell about what other people have done. Take accountability for yourself and you have failed the Canadian people. I don’t know why we have a bunch of Canadians over here, sucking you off like they don’t remember what you’ve done. Is everyone on this page who is a Canadian suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Do you not remember what this guy has done to our country with immigration and taxing us with the carbon tax out of the Wazzu. Give your head a shake you sleepy Canadians. Canadians act too weak and that’s why we’re treated this way.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

Listen to the Prime Minister speaking 2 languages. trump can't even speak one past a grade 3 level. trump wants this in order to weaken all democracies in order for putin to take over the world. Why aren't we doing something people? Are we really going to let the hateful racists who voted for the presidunce win? I pray not.

Now there's a real, respectable statesman. Not an ill-mannered narcissist and bully in a suit.\nThat was a great speach. I hope leaders in Europe take note. I hope our new administration takes note.\nCanada, you can be proud. Stand tall!\nSupport and best wishes from Germany

Americans, please fire Vladimir’s friend in the White House. He is taking your country into a hole. That man is a disgrace.

Trump did this to cause disinflation. Too many consumptions and too many cheap Chinese products in the market. Business owners are profiting at an all time high taking advantage of this inflation. Trump's move may cause short-term pain but there it will help your wallets in the long term including home prices and rates. Trump aim is to bring down interest rates basically.

As an american... are you guys taking refugees?

I love that he’s just repeating stuff we would have done anyway ? trump just wants to take credit for it

Donald wants to hurt Canada so they vote out Justin because he hates Justin. He want conservatives in Canada to come into power so they can bend over in front of Donald and ultimately destroy Canadian economy and the US can take possession of all of Canadian resources. I'm just waiting for Donald's funeral.

The fentanyl issue from Canada is another smokescreen. Trump could care less about anyone who dies in the states. If he cared about the people, he wouldn´t be working behind the scenes to invite Russia to take over the USA.

The only possible answer to all of this is that there is no daylight anymore between Trump and Putin, none whatsoever. The only thing stopping or scaling back Trump from taking these measures is when he sees the impact on the markets and consequently impact to his own wealth and that of his billionaire cronies...

Nice to see a leader who speaks in an articulate, truthful, factural manner. So refreshing! Th donald should grow up and take note. This is how leaders act.

Is Canada taking Americans ????

This prick would take your rights away in a heartbeat.

It takes a lying murderous dictator to no one champ you are the worst thing that ever happened to Canada corrupt to the core

Lol this is hilarious. Keep crying because we Americans prop up your whole economy. Get wrecked . Lol Canada has done absolutely for the well being of America with allowing narcotics and illegal immigration . Your borders are only safe because AMERICA stands as a bullwork between your country and the majority of our hemisphere . Im sure this is done as a prep to annex Canada lol . Its literally a typical business hostle take over . It isn't going to hurt my feelings lol .

We are glad to take your land in exchange. ???

A true leader. Are Canadians sure they want him gone?\nIt’s time the rest of the civilised world turned its back on the US. We have all been lazy and relied on them taking away the need to invest in what we can do. Which is why they think they hold all the cards Let’s stop this now and all civilised nations that do not have narcissistic tyrants at the lead pull resources together with new trade deals and prove them wrong. Let them implode. It will happen. Let’s not trade with them \nStop buying Teslas too

Hey Canada you want to trade Justin Trudeau for two Trump and Vance hell we will even throw in Elon Musk. No how about Trump administration as well. Want do you say? Please take them all!

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

Mr. Trudeau please go to war with us, take us over and become our President, seriously, I am not joking. I want to leave the U.S. and work in Canada because of this evil regime.

I HAVE HAD FRIENDS FROM CANADA AND I ONLY HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT CANADA, I LEFT USA 25 YEARS AGO ,I WENT TO MEXICO INSTEAD OF CANADA ONLY BECAUSE I DONT LIKE THE COLD ,OR I WOULD BE A CANADIAN ..DONT TAKE ANY CRAP FROM EVIL HITLER TRUMP ........✌️♥️?CANADA

tariffs are the side show of bigger plans, u.s. wants canada and greenland for their resources, china will be allowed to take taiwan and japan, russia is being allowed to take a chunk of europe

Wake up before it's too late Americans! Trump is a puppet of Russia. He's going to bankrupt the country and then when the people take to the streets he's going to impose a National Marshal law and sign an executive emergency order where he takes over the entire US government as a dictator.

Take notice people. Their government is going to help their citizens financially during the trade war. Meanwhile, Our government is giving tax cuts to the rich. It's time we start calling out these billionaires
