I'm an American. And I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and all of our European allies. I do not stand with my president and my government. I'm sorry Canada. I didn't vote for this.

I agree 99,9% with everything Prime Minister Trudeau said. We all know what is that 0,1% I don't agree with... And that's of course that Justin said that Trump is smart... We all know he's dumb as a post, ignorant and proud of it.. The West (which of course includes South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc) has rejected MAGA and Trump.. He America, call u s back when the Orange Buffoon not around anymore.

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.

Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, Japan .... will stand together. The russian assets capturing Washington DC have no chance.

South Europa to Nord Europa over Greenland to Alaska and Canada, Australia, Japan one big new marked, military, economic and coming markedet....the FOURTH WORLD BLOCK !!!!!

I would swap to Japanes products from now on.

Now that Russia is in taters, they want a ceasefire. The war was justified as long as Russia was winning? Ukraine has gained its advantage through great ingenuity and sacrifice. This is not the time to stop against the aggressor. Should the allies have stopped against Hitler? Look at Germany and Japan today. The victory will have plenty of investment opportunities to recoup their money. This is what the whole war is about!

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

Canada doesn't even have an ounce of gold. Keep talking. Let's face it. Canada is a non-country. The fact that Trump asked them to be the 51st state shows that. He wouldn't do that do Japan.

This will only get worat for the USA, wait the EU possibly does something collective also. Australia maybe not, Japan yes.

This is just another step in the current Administration's push to totally isolate the USA on the World stage. Canada, Mexico, Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Europe should wake up and form their own Global Trading and Defensive Block (including a Nuclear Umbrella) because the USA can no longer be counted on for at least the next four years.

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 ?

Canada is one of WA State’s biggest trade partners. Including Mexico, China, Japan and S. Korea.

Now that the US is led by a madman, Canada, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand must strengthen their ties and cooperation. It's time to build a new alliance based on shared values and a commitment to freedom and democracy—because the US is falling, slowly turning into an idiocratic dystopia ruled by a corrupt oligarchy, just like Russia. We must also deepen our ties with other democracies worldwide and keep fighting for just causes and a better future.

The united states made a huge mistake not stopping trump and backstabbing ukraine and europe - the united states will now feel a huuuuge economical hit as well as a pyhsical one as the world including canada, mexico, uk, europe, south korea, japan and all the free countries will not work with, trade with or ever trust the USA ever again. Massive own goal America.. shame on you. FK TRUMP and FK PUTIN.

Born and Raised in Canada and there is another sort of comparison I'm starting to see more and more: We have the Stagnation of Japan and the the Personality of Britain. \n\nWhat I mean by that, the people in Canada, least the older ones (Boomers), got very conservative and never wanted to rock the boat and do new things. They had in their eyes a good thing. They had work and owned their home. None of them wanted to risk that so they kept things the same for the past 3 decades or so. Well a lot has changed around the world, and were pretty much the same old. Literally. In retirement. Whats the last interesting thing Canada has done since the Canadarm? \n\nI can think of a number of achievements the rest of the world has done, including many 3rd world countries. But Canada is the same old. This has become our Culture. We don't talk about new ideas. We witness them online, but we're not Creators. We are Consumers. And that is what I think happened to Britain after they got resettled after WWII. Britain is pretty dry. And so is Canada. Hence our forest fires!

In Japan buildings depreciate in value, like cars, so the house I built last year is worth less this year (and my taxes on it are less). When I first got here I thought it was a horrible system, but now I see what a powerful benefit it is. Housing is quite affordable and there are lots of mixed neighborhoods, like mine, with million-dollar homes, small multi-units, and fewer gated communities. We suffer from a blight of abandoned buildings because at a certain point it just doesn't make economic sense to fix up an old (often cheaply made) home. But because home ownership is a luxury, like a fancy car, not a necessary means to accrue wealth, mortgages and rents are low and there's cheap (and small, so very very small) housing everywhere.

Japan has shown that stagnation is fine they have had 30 year of it and they are still living one of the highest qualities of life. Canada and Australia have gone done the mass immigration route and now the young are screwed and our cultures have changed for the worst forever.

I didn’t leave Canada but I did leave Toronto for northern Ontario and if I had the money I would move to Japan or even China

I'm ready for Cash to take a trip to Japan again.

I wish we take japan policy's and not allow migrants to enter our country.

if i broke into brazil,russia,china,japan,india,mexico,cuba illegaly. and began to start a new life there. i wouldnt be suprised if i was also put into chains and sent back to my own country. for all the know i am a terrorist,criminal,theif,war criminal. they just dont know.

India should not get into direct confrontation or discussions for such petty matters specially with Americans, UK, Germany, France, China, Japan, Russia, Oman, Saudi Arabia. People suggesting and raising such issues for illegal people are actually selfish , our quality of life (environment, safety, food, shelter, employment, education, basic needs) is average and not below average as portrayed in movies, tv and social media. Why should the government use tax payers money to bring illegal and greedy people and why we should show any sympathy. First be a practical and economic and security power house then go high on moral & ethical grounds.

Try to be an Illegal immigrant in Singapore or Japan ?….

Imagine me rioting in the US because Japan won't let me work in their country illegally, lol. Oh, wait... I don’t do that.

Indians want to populate the world, better yet Europe.\nWhy are they not going to South/north Korea, china, Japan & so on.\nThey always go to where their bullshit is entertained. And don’t get me wrong, there are good & bad people but Indians in the diaspora is becoming rapidly troublesome. They lack proper behaviour.

Too many INDIANS in US to take over American IT Jobs! Go back to your coutnry to MAKE INDIA GREAT AGAIN! like Japan and Korea!

I've seen other countries like Australia, Japan, UK and other countries do that too. But only the hands. But that experience will prevent them from doing it again.

I am a Chinese and have been in Japan for more than 24 years. I like Japan. Japanese treat us very well. But if time could turn back 24 years I will not come to Japan and will stay my hometown, lOve my hometown, enjoy my life in China. Living loving my birthplace will be the highest prority!

WELL IT IS LOGIC RATIONAL TO DEPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ENTERING AND I ER STAYING WITHOUT PROPER DOCUMENTS AND NOT GO IN ACCORDING TO IMMIGRATION AND LABOR LAW AS BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN EVERY COUNTRY LIKE IN MIDDLE EAST JAPAN EUROPE AUSTRALIA

Its Modi secret Weapon Population. look how Australia,UK,Japan now and maybe in America gonna be full in 2025

Japan, China or the Middle East can value their borders and the safety of their own citizens (something any country should do), why is it wrong when USA does the same thing ?

Our counter tariffs are interesting. Guess what's on the list? Torpedoes. Ammunition. Weapons. Yes, we will reach our 2% of GDPin military spending goal after the purchase of 12 submarines, 15 destroyers and a host of drones, but we will likely get them from Europe, Japan and other allies. \n \nTrump folded because he stands to lose Canada's purchase of military equipment.

Biggest loser from this trade war is Microsoft's video gaming division.\n\nWhile the Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch are made in China and Japan, the Microsoft X-Box Series S/X are American made.\n\nAs a result, the PS5 and Nintendo Switch will not face a 25% tariff from the Canadian Government, but the X-Box Series S/X will.\n\nI'm surprised that Bill Gates and Microsoft are not fighting for Canada and Mexico even though they have everything to lose.

The post-war world order is now over. It's time for Canada to drop out of NATO and NORAD (what is the point of a defensive strategic alliance with the only country in the world that is openly threatening you with annexation?) and expel all American military and government personnel in the country. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc need to form a new strategic and economic bloc oriented toward the goal of breaking America, just as we did with the Soviets when they were the largest threat to global peace and prosperity. Sadly, it is more likely that we will allow the Americans to divide and conquer us... literally!

My country has been to dependent on US we in asia should also find other partners in europe. japan, south korea, singapore, philippines and taiwan we are all dependent on US if trump continues this we will also be affected. Its time to partner with other countries other than US.

Work with Asia. Like China Taiwan Japan. There is no real friend in the world. Trump will cry once everyone work with China. He is pushing friends to the opposite side.

Why can't Canada put a double % on the US tariffs which makes from the US imported goods like cars so expensive that nobody will buy it. Yes it's a problem. Just buy those cars from Europe or Japan. There are also very great goods from Europe like the orange juice mentioned in the video. This is available in Europe and Northern Africa as well. Canada eh! Just switch the trading origins. Would be very nice to getting much closer to Canada and Mexico with the EU ?❤

China, India and Japan (and some of the GCC nations) have a huge opportunity now to step in and replace America's influence on the world. By driving the MAGA philosophy, the focus on influence over the rest of the world will be reduced / removed and could be really good for the rest of the world as this influence is diluted to be taken up by multiple DIFFERENT nations instead.

The EU and Japan and China still exist, the US is not the last country in the world

When will EU, South Korea, Japan and other poodles of the US retaliate against the US? Didn’t you learn anything from Nordstream? from their pressuring you to defend Israel’s genocide? from tariffs against Japanese cars in the 1990s, against European cars in 2000s?\n\nDitch the US and Britain.

My vehicle is from Japan, gas is from North Slope, electricity is from Columbia River, for groceries I would never buy a BC greenhouse tomato, even if you paid for it. This is not my fight. Good luck, Canada should fold like a cheap suit in 60 days. Trudeau has bankrupted their credit.

Could Western Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, Taiwan all get together and have a talk with Uncle Sam? I think we need an intervention at this point. Help!

Canada buy more products from USA than China,Japan,UK,France combined, Canada is the major supplier of energy to USA

Trumps first tariff was on steel. It worked so well that US Steel is trying to sell itself to Japan. I wonder why that is not getting more attention....

Dump U.S. and find a new partners like Japan, China, Mexico and Europe.
