What's weird. Is pre trump presidency. Even CNN was betrayed with maga supporters. Now? Where are they at in the comment section? How come they don't speak up now with their bullshit? We're in it now folks. And it's all of magas fault. Better forget your maga friends and don't give them any help at all during these times. THEY put us here. THEY can suffer alone. Way to go maga. You've made yourselves targets, and easy to spot targets as well with tyour diapers, ear patches and red hats. Youll never get approval from your communities for a long time, probably for your lifetime as yoive destroyed what our forefathers created. You've set us back generations. You'll never be accepted in this country again by anyone who knows you as a trumper. Might as well rid yourselves bow of this country and move to the Venezuela camos your king wants to build as you are the terrorists.

The border is a smoke screen for what Trump wants...our resources gor nothing. He says the US doesn't need anything, yet he wants, Canada, Greenland, Gaza, and is holding Aid over Ukraine's head for an unfair trade deal of resources. He wants everything his greedy little hands can grab. \n\nI am glad my government is getting more trustworthy trade partners because we should never be so reliant on trade with the US again. \n\nWe are boycotting US goods, services, and destinations. The bond will never be the same. Once you lose trust, it isn't so easy to ear it back. We can't trust Trump and who knows if the one after him will be any better.

Lol love how he said “Donald” and not “President Trump.” Perfect for a ? deserving of NO respect. Barely 2 months in office and this ? is already turning us into an isolated, reviled nation seen as nothing but a gang of mercenary bullies by the rest of the sane world. I’m an American and I turn my back on this madness. I stand with sanity, justice and truth. I stand with Canada and Ukraine. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Trump acts like he's on fentanyl talks like he's on his dumb show the apprentice. Best for the whole world to cut America out and let the people vote him back out for starting the 3rd world War

It's about power but the people who voted Trump and Vance in can very easily taken back and impeeched

what trump fails to understand is that the united states has some of the biggest pharma companies in the world, who makes fentanyl, pharma, so its probably in his own back yard that this is coming from

Let's talk facts backed with data. Anything you else not fact/data checked is fake news... Trump needs to re-evaluate before more damage is done on both sides for no reason...

This right here has made me even more proud to be Canadian. We stand and unite loud, proud, strong and fearless as a nation. We will NEVER give in or bow down to threats and bullies. \n\nALL OUR ELBOWS UP!!!!\n\n Canada IS NOT and NEVER will be for sale. We will NEVER become the 51st state because you CAN’T have Canada Trump. We will PUSH BACK and we will FIGHT. \n\n❤️?❤️\n??????

Send tariffs back to Trump as a boomrang, make him hurt, make his suffer. If all the countries targeted do that, Trump is knocked out for ever.

Canada don't even like him we voted for this and back trump all the way

I'm sorry our Canadian's fellows, this is not personal, it's just business. All this year the USA economy has been decreased because we buy (importing) more goods than selling (exporting). We are no in good shape economically to support other countries' economies. We need companies to come back to produce in the USA and those extra charges are an incentive to start producing again in the USA. After our economy is better, we can make new deals. \nAbout Fentanyl, it is funny that he said that it was all good and after that, saying just in the last months implemented all kinds of security measures. LOL \nHe speaks nice, but he is not a smart guy. Putting tariffs back to the USA makes it worse with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a businessman, he can keep increasing the taxes and in the end, Canada will be hurt more than the USA. I suggest to peacefully open a negotiation with Trump, not to fight back at the same level... don't take it personally, it is just business.

Bravo Trudeau ! Never thought you had it in you. Unlike our fawning PM Starmer you have shown Canadians has the courage to hit back at bullies. Straight talking , plain speaking non of the arrogance, the lies , the gangster threats of the disgraceful Trump regime.

Dumb Trump. I regret voting him. He thinks he can scare away other country leaders by using tariff as strategy. What a fool! Is he not realizing it will back fire by causing these countries to do the same on US?

We are always friends with Great Canada. I dont control Trump. And so i wont dont want jail. I say I am so sorry as an American. I won't go into details to why some to why so many Americans think that they can go back in time. Some and many Americans think they are entitled. I cannot say so sorry for something I am not responsible for. I remembered a time when Hitler's friends blamed & they blamed incessantly.

I think it's wrong with United States doing. Bowling in Canada.. what's the dumbest thing he can do to our neighbor Canada that's been with us for many years had our backs and War and hard times in our history. I just think it's wrong what they're doing to Canada.. Donald Trump is very stupid..!!

President Trump doesn't care. The US has been subsidizing Canada's electrical grid for over $250 million dollars a year. Canada will loose that. In addition, US automotive industries like stellantis are moving productions back to the US from Canada. Canada has been charging the US dairy products 250% in tariffs, US Bourbon and whiskey 180% for over 4 years. China has been charging Ford 200% tariff so much so that ford can no longer afford to sell their vehicles in China.....all these outrageously high tariffs were designed to protect their domestic products.... China was suposed to spend 4 billion dollars a year in US goods but they have been consistently spending only 1.9 billion each year . Trade deficit of over 2 billion dollars. What sane person would allow this to happen in a free market and call this fair trades????? I have no knowledge of this until recently.

He said bye and came back ? trump found replacements so don’t cry do whatever you can .get some money from Islamic regim of Iran

We hear leaders of other countries who speak like Statesmen but Trump speaks like an idiot who is backed by clowns in his weird administration.

Okay okay Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, you have got my respect back as I see where your loyalty lays and that is with Canada. Well done sir and well articulated. I have never been so disgusted in a leader as I am with Trump and his people including his goofball sidekick.

This is a Trump strategy to bring all.parties back to the negotiation table. This will result in reduction of original tariffs.

I feel sorry for al the employees and families in America and around the world that are going to lose jobs.. Trump Vance Rubio Musk spoilt brats won't care sitting back in thier multi million dollar houses and mansions..

Kudos to the PM Trudeau for speaking out against Trump tariffs. Mr. Trudeau sees what the Trump voters fail to see prior to the elections. Trump is using the excuse of stopping drugs coming into the country. When in reality his tariffs will only benefit corporations. These tariffs will be passed down to the consumers who will pay for them. If everyone who voted for Trump weren't deaf and blind we would not have to now worry more about inflation and higher prices. All those who blamed Biden for increased prices should have looked back at the pandemic that Trump failed to acknowledge.

When i was younger i traveled the USA from the middle to east coast at least 20 states and had some great times. I could never live in the USA do to difference way of life. I have seen homes in Southern states that still have outhouses. My 1st time witnessing racism was in the Southern states and was shocked. Have not been back to the USA since Trump became President 1st time and now probably never will because of the politics. Glad I did then many good memories

WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN THEY HAVE A FIGHT ON THEIR HANDS WE WERE WILLING TO STOP TRADING WE WILL SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR RELATIONSHIP I WILL TELL YOU WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE USA WILL NOT WIN THEY WILL LOSE THIS IS THEIR LAST CHANCE THEY CAN MAKE THIS STOP TRUMP HAS TO BE STOP NOW ❤???????????????????????????????????????????????

Trudeau control your borders, you have no cards, have nothing compared to the USA... You chose the Tariff Match didn't you now... IF you had 'border' control in place, you wouldn't be able to spend 1 Billion dollars, and you wouldn't be acting just days ago... And yes Since Trump was Elected, border crossings lessened because illegals know they better get with it. Has nothing to do with you Trudeau. ANd you do sugar coat, well lie, about everything. Oh, and Dems don't have your backs. They are busy freaking out right now. lol

I believe that once we get everything on line, we can weather out the storm. What does Canada have that we don't have? All we want is a fair deal. We have endured the burden of ensuring the safety and economic development of our allies. They have all benefitted, and it is time for them to offer some relief while Trump works on our problems back home.

It is a sicked and dumb Trump coming back. American is no longer a reliable partner to the world because of your government's silliness and stupidity. No one should welcome Americans if you guys continue to this path down the road next 4 years. Even your closest alley is abandoning you! Let's hope that your loyal dogs don't bite you 1 day???!

I am never a fan of our Prime Minister but today, he got my full respect and admiration. We all know it is not about Fentanyl or illegal immigrants crossing from Canada as little as they were. Donald Trump is just using these as excuse. He is cozying up with US' one of two prime adversaries - Russia and China - and whacking friends and allies, alienating the United States. Donald Trump probably is considering authoritarian rule over democracy. I can't wait for the day that his dumb action will whack him back. Sorry Americans, you are still our friends, but not your government.

all you saying this is an adult, he talks off a monitor... only REAL person is trump and all you libs can keep crying while we bring jobs back home

US credibility has been circulating the drain for months, now it's in the pipes and heading for the sewer. When trump puts the knife into the back of his allies and then talks about lifting sanctions on Russia, it's pretty obvious where his loyalties are.

Wall Street Journal is being way too kind. Trump is a dumb ass with the temperament of a mean 3rd grader that was held back a year. All countries should look out for their own best interest when dealing with Americans while Trump and Musk are running the country into the ground. Treat Trump like a suspect Russian asset that is going to undermine your country.

Trump and the republican party are traitors to their country and so are everybody who voted and supports them. Wake the fuck up Americans and take back your country. Stop trying to do Putins bidding by picking a fight with your friends. STOP BEING SO FUCKING STUPID.

Trump is stabbing all your allies in the back. You have your precious second amendment but you won't even grab your torches and pitchforks.

Trudeau has lost his mocking, boyish smile towards Trump, back in his first term at the G7 meeting. Trudeau now looks serious!

I know a lot of people don't care for Trudeau. I am actually pretty impressed with him, and on his way out, he is showing his strength and intelligence. He has Canada's back even in his last days as Prime Minister. Let's make sure we elect a Prime Minister who is equally strong and can stand up the narcissistic bully called Trump.

Trump has placed himself in a corner. He's completely incompetent. Because he is a bully and thinks people will roll over, he is going to look weak when he has to roll them back. When Canada cuts off the water, car parts, etc. and people start losing jobs such as car manufacturing, there will be a price to pay. It won't be an end to MAGA, but if he lets this go on for too long, he will never come back from it.

Don't be fooled by this wimp my American friends. Trudeau is a weasel and has killed Canada. I'm not a fan of Trump but he still has seen thru this bum and we deserve what we're getting because of his neglect and Woke policies for the last 10 years. he's as corrupt as a politician can get. So please wait til we get a leader in Canada that will get us back to a REAL partner with the US. An election is gonna happen real soon that will put a Prime Minister in place that will address the concerns of both of our countries and get things back to normal.....and it won't be Mark Carney!!!!!

We need to bring back jobs to America. Trump has clearly stated that those who come to America and make their products here will NOT face tarriffs. Toyota, Porsche, and Audi are doing it. \nAlso, it brings jobs to America. Why are Americans complaining about more jobs for their peers? Its crazy

HES TOLD HIS RICH BUDDIES INSIDE INFO ABOUT MARKETS SO THEY SELL HIGH THEN WHEN STOCKS TANK TO BUY BACK LOW SO THEY GET DOUBLE MONEY ONCE STOKS EVEN OUT!!!! Would you please REPORT THIS CORRECTLY PLEASE cause Trump IS A CONMAN!!!! WAKE UP??????????

Trump speak just like a third grader , bullying and disgraceful. But I blame them idiots that voted for him back in the office. They will be suffering the pain that he caused .\nCanada supposed to be our friend, our ally why He started the trade war with ?

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

Trump wont back down, canada has been screwing us for awhile, its our turn. However i do feel for the canadian people.

As an American I pray that Canada/PM Trudeau knows that there is a massive % of us who understand that Canada has to stand on business & we hold no ill will for him protecting his country. PM Trudeau there is a massive % of Americans who despise trump & pray for his downfall (& those who follow him!) We as SANE AMERICANS know that this IDIOT who is president has begun/will continue to destroy our country(until he is stopped!) WE hold no grudges against countries who must fight back to protect themselves….WE envy you PM Trudeau & likewise countries who fight back because we are CLEARLY AWARE WE’VE BEEN CURSED WITH A MENTALLY ILL PRESIDENT WHO WON’T FIGHT FOR ALL PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY!

Trump says he needs nothing Canada to offer…..yet oil and gas tariffs are only 10%.\nHmmm….\nI say shut off the taps to America, flip off the switch for electricity and make him come crawling back. Because that’s the only way American voters will understand what he is doing. America needs to revolt and end his reign of stupidity, because this is just the beginning of his\ntyrannical dictatorship.

Trump sends Sidney Crosby back we don't want them no more I live here in Pittsburgh we don't need him!!!!

I'd give anything to go back to George Bush Jr. Trump makes him look like a gentleman and a scholar.

This situation is far worse for Canada than for the U.S. Trudeau knows this. History is being made. I would say this will be viewed either as one of the smartest political moves by a U.S president, or perhaps one of the dumbest. Time will tell. One thing I would say is never underestimate president Trump. Every time he has been undermined, underestimated, and disregarded he has came back on top. Welcome to 2025

What’s more dumb than Trump are the people who put the maniac back in power

I could not love this more!!! American, here. Sock it to us!! It's going to take Canada, Mexico, and Europe to force Trump to back down and stop being a b@by @$$ little b!tch!

Any American business thinking about jumping into the Russian market is playing Russian roulette—except every chamber’s loaded. Putin’s already made it clear he’ll jail Americans whenever it suits him, and yet Trump seems determined to push U.S. interests into that trap.\n\nWhich brings me back to the bigger question—what exactly does Putin have on Trump? I get that Trump’s got the moral compass of a reptile hunting for its next meal, but even his own former foreign policy advisors—Bolton, Tillerson, Kelly—have all admitted they can’t quite explain his deference to Putin. I’m not one for conspiracy theories, but damn, at what point do we stop pretending this isn’t deeply suspicious?
