As an American citizen, I stand with the great country of Canada, this is a shameful move by trump!

So, suddenly Canada is suddenly now arresting these fentanyl gangs in large numbers, spending money on defense and patrolling the borders for illegal immigrants with helicopters and ground troops. Why now ? Because Captain Schmuck here had his sorry arse kicked by President Trump. Canada is effectively bankrupt and have been kept alive by the U.S. umbilical cord, and Trump knows that it has to stop as it is simply pouring good money after bad. Our government knew about these tariffs since the beginning after Trump’s election, and what have they done? Zip, zero, nada because they simply have no clue how to deal with it, but to throw the toys out of the cot. That is hopefully set to change soon and, with a proper government in place, then we can start real negotiations.

As a us citizen lets go bitch we will see whos economy can bully who lmfao - canada has a smaller population than Californian and we have companies richer than your entire country, you are going to lose if you dont fall in line.

Common man, Trudeau is acting like a kid, what is that ? Why did he respond to the raise of taxes ? \nFor me, he should be negocating with Trump administration's, he did not do enought, what a joke.\nI' am from Canada and I need Trudeau to go away ; may be Trump is doing this because Trudeau has done too much against Trump, we need a new administration to talk with Trump.

We love you Canada!! Down with Orange Crush!!

I do agree with you for some things but not all and i do think it was your best speach since 9 years but it does not take away what you have done wrong over your 9 years attacking freely canadien on there rights example:hunting right, sportshooting rights and freedom of expressing,running after the wrong person example:taking away legal firearms when they are not the problem since 80% of illegal firearms comes from outside the canada, I think that trump is just not taking canada seriously, over the past years since you are in power,canada has made a very bad name except for the freedom convye, which in that case made canadien stick together while you steaded in your office,i do think that a new leader/party should take place and give a chance for canada to walk out the mase you have done over 9 years

Hear me out. I think Trump was threatened by Netanyahu to do this to all the countries that agreed with ICJ's arrest warrant and promised to arrest him on arrival. Netanyahu was the first leader Trump met and suddenly EU, Canada, and Mexico are being treated like this.

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

Go Go Go Canada!l kick donald's ass!! he is such a scum bag!

It will be tough for both sides, the US and Canada. But the Canadian government has its people's support, while the majority of US citizens do not support Trump and his government. The US will be a sad, lonely planet in the middle of the world. Shame!

God bless Canada and God bless us all !!!

We love canada from ??

One of the best speeches I've heard in a very long time and the facts are eye opening and all should be worried as there will be no winner and Canada will never be the 51st State. ❤❤❤.

We don’t want this either! And he did! I didnt vote for him, and I understand why Canada has to do what they have to do

It makes me sad because my girlfriend is Canadian, and I love Canada as an American.

Real Americans back Canada, that idiot is not representing Americans in total. Keep fighting CANADA! Keep FIGHTING! As a disenchanted American i am disgusted by this idiot.

It will hurt Americans much, much more than Canadians. This is what you need to realize: Canadians are much tougher than Americans. The rest of the world backs Canada. We have your energy. More than 60 per cent.

They looked scared as hell. Trudeau is like a vindictive fired employee who steals and damages stuff before leaving. People like him are why many companies have security escort them out when they leave. Canada is going to suffer just so this wimp can feel like he stood up to Trump. He isn't even in a position to negotiate anymore. He's just causing his country more pain for no reason. Typical socialist. Whole lot of people in the comments don't understand the numbers. Canada has zero chances to win a trade war. Many Canadian businesses are already moving to the US.

Thank you everybody who is not Canadian that is supporting Canada. You really see us thank you.

That’s ok I don’t need anything from Canada

I wish I could meet this guy. He’s awesome! Long live Canada! Americans support you!??????????????

I wish I were in Canada right now.

Trump is an idiot we WILL get him and his toadies out , Michigan looses if Canada looses….

Great strength in Trudeau and in Canada. If the Mexicans and the Eurpeans stand strong, Trump will not be able to handle it. They must not be divided. Trump is weak in the face of that

Trudeau can’t even manage Canada . So….

As a Canadian ?? I want to thank the Amaracians ?? that are showing support for Canada ??

Many of the Americans in these comments now claiming to stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, etc, are the same ones responsible for this mess by voting that unhinged orange demon and his circus of nitwits into office ??

Why Canada?\nI can see Mexico but Canada.\nNO. NO, NO, NOT CANADA

Canada is hurting themselves not the U.S. it’s going to backfire on them.

So sorry, Canada ?? ? ? ?

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

U.S. Army combat veteran and I stand with Canada.

Go our dear friends and neighbors of Canada! (A 5th generation Texan here depressed by what we have become.) Trump does not care, his paycheck is from our tax money and he will just file another personal bankruptcy if he needs to do so, because he is so good at business (not).

He seems to understand the US economy better than that of his country Canada

We stand with Canada ?? ?

You are the only one who fked up Canada so shut up!!!

You mean Canada's leader doesn't wear orange makeup and vomit forth unending lies? What a strange place Canada must be!

We stand with Canada

Canada has the weakest courts in the free world. Thanks to Trudeau canada is a third world country. He also likes rent boys and cocaine.

Thanks Justin. As a 64 year old Montrealer I remember when you were born. I even met your Dad a couple of times. Well done. Cheers from Montreal Quebec Canada ??

I’m Canadian and I don’t care for Trudeau. I didn’t vote for him but I have to give credit where credit is due. I appreciate that he is standing up for Canada and I agree with him. This is a huge mistake for the USA and it is destroying decades of hard work that has made North America great.

As an American I am with Canada! I am embarrassed by Donald!

I’m with Canada ?? period ??

This is almost political interference from Canada trying to attack trump over this and to try and turn Americans against each other. Most Canadians will tell you this guy needs to go.

Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

Most of us did not vote for this! We recognize your predicament and do not blame you for having to implement like tariffs! Keep Canada strong. Most of America is behind you including me.

I'm so frustrated, Trump said he wants CANADA to be the fifty first state so we can have all those precious minerals . He said it on tv

This guy going to ruin canada economically .....

Trudeau is a SNAKE. I don't trust him. Keep at it Mr. Trump. We are done being taken advantage of. Trudeau knows exactly that he is not protecting his borders and Fentanyl is leaking across into the US. Don't get me wrong. Canadiens are great people. But Trudeau is a snake. I can't wait for him to leave your government Canada.

Canada has to PROTECT THEMSELVES AFTER TRUMP/MUSK disclosed themselves to be TRAITORS OF THE USA, PURSUING PUTIN & OPEC NATIONS to make themselves maga-wealthy & HARM USA, RAISE $ PER BARREL & RETURN TO EVENTUAL OIL RATIONING IN USA -HISTORY TAUGHT US
