Canada, will you annex Minnesota please? I am embarrassed, disgusted, and ashamed of my fellow Americans that allowed this despicable human to enter the office that we hope would be a leader and an inspiration to the rest of the world. If we have any say about it, he/it wont be there for long.

Canada met Trump's terms and he still screwed them, I don't blame them for retaliating. Losing allies and isolating us from the rest of the world is going to hurt everyone

Unlike the US, Canada is still a trading nation. As a result, my plan is not simply to buy Canadian, but to avoid buying American. Here's my country of origin preference list: \n1. Canada \n2. Europe/ UK \n3. rest of the world \n4. China \n5. Russia/ North Korea/ USA

I am completely outraged. I am disgusted beyond comprehension with the gutless Republican party for not standing up to trump. Canada has traditionally been our steadfast Ally and closest Trading partner. Trump is a walking, talking, dumpster fire, and must be removed from office as soon as humanly possible. How this profoundly disturbed, mentally ill excuse for a human being ever got elected to the highest office in the land is utterly beyond me. This is where MAGA ignorance, gullibility, and abysmal stupidity has gotten us. The rest of us here in the United States are just horrified by the destructive chaos Trump is unleashing on this country and the rest of the world. Our profound apologies to Canada

Canada’s 25% Tariffs? A Win for American Businesses in the Long Run\n\nAt first glance, Canada slapping a 25% tariff on U.S. goods might seem like a negative for America. But in reality, this move could actually work in our favor by making the U.S. economy stronger, more self-sufficient, and less dependent on foreign markets.\n\t1.\tBoosting American Manufacturing & Production – When Canada makes U.S. goods more expensive with tariffs, American businesses have a huge opportunity to shift focus to domestic markets and new trade partners. This could bring more production back home and reduce reliance on Canada.\n\t2.\tEncouraging Trade Diversification – The U.S. isn’t limited to Canada. If they want to play hardball, we can expand exports to other countries with fewer trade restrictions. Canada makes up about 15% of U.S. exports, but the rest of the world is wide open. This is a chance to diversify and strengthen our economy.\n\t3.\tMaking Canada Pay More for U.S. Goods – Tariffs don’t just hurt exporters—they also raise costs for Canadian consumers. If Canada wants American products, they’ll end up paying more or have to settle for alternatives that might be lower quality or more expensive from other countries.\n\t4.\tStrengthening America’s Negotiating Position – If Canada wants to raise tariffs, that gives the U.S. even more leverage in future trade talks. The U.S. economy is far larger and more powerful than Canada’s, and in the long run, they need us more than we need them.\n\t5.\tReducing America’s Trade Deficit – If fewer goods are exported to Canada, that means more products stay in the U.S. This helps lower dependence on foreign markets and could even stabilize prices for American consumers.\n\nBottom Line: Canada’s Move Hurts Them More Than It Hurts the U.S.\n\nIf Canada wants to put tariffs on U.S. goods, let them. In the long run, it pushes America to be more self-reliant, strengthens our industries, and forces Canada to pay the price for their own policies.\n\nAt the end of the day, America has the stronger economy, better resources, and more trade options—Canada needs U.S. trade more than we need theirs. If they want to make American goods more expensive, they’ll feel it a lot more than we will.

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

The tariffs are designed to substantially increase the gaps between very wealthy and wealthy, and wealthy and working class within the US itself. The plan will work; that will be the state of things when DT is finally gone. Effects on Canada, Mexico, China and the rest of the world will be the collateral damage that results from this plan.

The fentanyl is made in China. The Chinese bring some to Mexico and COMES TO AMERICA IN VEHICLES CROSSING THE BORDER THROUGH LEGAL POINTS OF ENTRANCE. The rest of the fentanyl, the Chinese SEND IT TO AMERICA IN CARGO SHIP THROUGH LEGAL PORTS. So Canada... eh... mmmm... Canada... they... uh... ? Ask Trump ??‍♀️

I'm an American and I stand with my President. The rest of you should pack up and go to Canada or Ukraine

Trudeau’s just as dangerous for Canada and so is his liberal party. Carbon tax Carney and the rest of the libtards can do one! Trudeau’s liberals and the NDP are the ones who tried to legalize hard drugs and made BC a pilot project, losing thousands of lives to the poison! Pierre for PM!!

Drumpf's best friend is the Russian monster.he is screwing American business people,farmers,builders, and every other American citizen.Thank you for speaking the truth,his worshippers will not believe you,but the rest of us know what is truth.\n And I love Canada,God bless and protect you all.I did not vote for the orange menace,he is now trying to blame the effects of his decisions on the previous administration.

Trudeau for president! Let Canada annex the rest of ‘Merica as the 11th Province ?. Except Canadians are too smart to put up with the “menace to the south” even as a territory!!!

BRAVO PM Trudeau!!!!!! this is fantastic that you are standing up against the inhinged criminal FELON and TYRANT!!\nDo not ever cave in to this idiot BULLY or Canada will forever regret it, trump cant be reasoned with, talked to , persueded or anything else.\nConsider CUTTING the electric power to the 3 US States, and the OIL exported to the US as well- hit HARD and don't give in! The rest of the world is BEHIND you and support you!

I can't bealive how dumb US liberals are, US literally has one of the highest reserve of oil and natural gas, US used to sell oil to Japan, India and many other countries when trump was last time in office but Biden distroyed that by banning the drill. 70% of import from canda to US is oil and natural gas which they don't need they just have to switch on those machines again which they already did and in few weeks they will not just ful fill their own need bul aslo start selling gas to Japan and India as trump promised in last meeting with them, and rest 20% import from Canda is electricity, they used to busy that electricity just to bypass the Paris climate aggrement of having green electricity, biden insted of building green electricity industry he choosed to buy those from Canada and last rest 10% left which is $15billion for economy like US this much money is peanuts and 30% tarrife on that will have nearly no impact.

?We are one earth. You can't wall off yourself and ignore the rest of the world. We stand with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. Isolationist leaders like the orange ?are a minority and bankrupt. We will overcome!

Embarrassed to be American. To Canada and the rest of the world, all Americans did NOT vote for this. He is burning our country to the ground

as an american, I hope not only canada, but also the rest of the world sells their resources to other countries. trump needs to learn that america is not able to stand alone!

GOOD ? DAY ? MATE! This is What the United ?? State's, Canada ?? and The Rest of the Free ? World get When Two Of the Biggest Narcissistic Tryant's Get Voted ? into Poeer and Control. Instability and Danger to Our National Security for Our Country ?? Canada ?? and Rest of the Free ? World. Higher Price's For All! All of the Populous Who ?

We will pull our troops from every overseas base as we can reach the world from our side of the planet. Half of these military units will take Canada, and the rest will be in Mexico. Still wanna play?

Im sorry Canada. And the rest of the world as well. All I can say is a LOT of us did not support or vote for this insanity and we still stand with you all.

? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

Love you President Trudeau. I wish you were not leaving. Canada and the rest of the world need people like you to overcome the destruction of America. We in New Zealand need people just like you to stand up to Trump and his criminal republicans. Please re-think about leaving.

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

I wish this man was the American president. My American government is scaring me and our lives are falling apart. I stand with Canada and the rest of the sane world. I hope this changes soon..

American here! We stand with Ukraine, Canada and the rest of Europe! Fuck Russia!

The rest of the world is with you Canada and Mexico. We no longer stand with America. NEVER AGAIN. Until Trump is LONG GONE. And do not lie with Russia.

In Canada, there is a lot of divisiveness between our conservative and liberal political parties. But what is incredible is how much support Trudeau holds in this trade war conflict . While his reign is nearly over, nationally all political parties have come together (in majority numbers) for a unified approach. Trump has single-handedly ostracized the United States from the rest of the world.

True Americans stand with you, Canada, and the rest of the West. We will not falter. We will stay strong. Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Well said Mr Trudeau. How can the Government of the USA stand by and allow this happen to their closest ally. I’m delighted to hear a clear and articulate statement from a country leader, that isn’t spiteful and argumentative and bullying. The rest of the World will stand with Canada.

I live in America and I can tell you that I did not vote for the orange Oompa Loompa! Trump is a liar, a thief, a felon, a con man, a narcissist, a dictator wannabe, a traitor to the US, an insurrectionist, a sore loser, asexual, predator, and a POS! Please go after trump! I stand with Canada, Mexico and the rest of our allies! Nobody should ever trust anything out of that moron’s mouth! A narcissist will always do the opposite of what you tell them to do

Don't buy Canadian Bacon, Maple Syrup and other Canadian goods. Canada is NOT the closest ally of the US and has long in fact been like the Karen nation of North America who is massively passive aggressive to the US, and outright hatred for the US is rampant among many Canadians. 25 percent 155 billion which is dwarfed by the trade imbalance of the many billions more of Canadian goods that go to the US, mostly it is American Alcohol that goes to Canada, to fuel the drunks of Canadian society, so Homeless alcoholics in Canada might truly suffer. How is more sobriety a bad thing Trudeau? This might be fantastic for people who drink alcohol to make a break with the booze they have been needing. \n\nThe rest of us, who don't buy Canadian goods nor own or invest in American alcohol won't feel anything. In fact we pay more for mailing stuff to Canada from the Canadian postal service. \n\nWe learned not to mail stuff to Canada. We are ok now living with that limitation.

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

Shame! Shame! Shame on You, Trump and and J.D Vance and the rest of the devil ? people who voted for you! From Canada ??

This American stands with our neighbors, Canada and Mexico. I also stand with Ukraine and the rest of Europe. ?????????

God bless Canada! DOWN WITH TRUMP! HE IS A CONVICTED FELON AND BELONGS BEHIND BARS FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

I am so proud of Canada. The rest of the world needs to step in here. Start putting tariffs on the United States and sanction Trump musk and any Republican that stands with them. Come on the world. The American people need a push to get rid of trump Canada. The true Americans love you guys

I stand with Canada & with Mexico. Trump needs to be impeached as do all of the rest of his circus. Musk needs to be deported. Thank you PM Trudeau for having the strength & courage to not back down from this shit show we have in our administration.

Ca ada and mexicoare just crying all bc they have to pay to usz fif all they produced look you all idiots leaders from Canada and Mexico Trump it's not playing games or gi en nothing free to one no what don't you both leaders mexican n Canadian and the rest that have been criying take it or leave it now that usa leader step on your heals please stop.criying and pay your share to the USA CITIZENS

AMERICA: One thing you guys may not grasp yet.... we may be nice, but we love a fight and when you come at some of us... you automatically come at ALL of us. To the MAGA people of america: F×#$ You. To the rest, we get its not your fault. ELBOWS UP!!!!! CANADA STRONG!!!!!!!!!! ?? ? ?? ?

Millions of Americans and especially those of us in blue states do NOT support Donald and his fascist party. We are with you Canada and the rest of the free world

So impressed with Trudeau and Canada as a whole. This should make any self respecting American citizen feel embarrassed to compare their apology for a president to this man and his team. P.S. Note to Trudeau - Trump is NOT a very smart guy, don't do what the rest of the world is trying to do, flatter this susceptible idiot hoping to get him on side, it won't, it just makes him certain that he is so special and clever and makes his behaviour 100% worse.

As a Canadian, I'm obviously pissed, like the rest of Canada, and just to be clear, we don't forget!!!!\nA country that has fought wars side by side, and to see what the American government is doing is absolutely disgusting!\nTo all our American friends that didn't vote for this, thank you for the kind words.\nElbows up Canada, we stick together!

The US undermining Canada, Europe, and the rest of western allies only benefits the Kremlin.\n\nPutin must be delighted his master plan to weaken democracies and NATO is actually working.

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

Ya see All of these Decades of bullying, plundering, colonizing, and imperializing other countries, Has finally caught up to the United States of America and it’s system. In 2002, the axis of evil was Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. Now that the rest of the world is fed up with America and its colonizing bullying Ways, The nations are pulling together and moving on without the toothless fangless , Non-venomous snake called the United States of America. And there’s nothing that we here in America can do about it! SIGN UP FOR BRICS CANADA ! You’ll be just fine!

American here that proudly stands with Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world, especially Ukraine! I did not vote for this lunatic!

As an American I 100% support you Canada, Ukraine and the rest of our allies. I did not vote for our convict and cheat in DC. I also refuse to call Donald a president.

This is so embarrassing for us Americans. Not MAGA. Americans. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and the rest of the sane world.

We need the help from our friends to speak the Truth, clear and loud. Thank you PM Trudeau. The only winner here is Putin. He gets to pit our Allies against us while destroying Russa's biggest adversary (or we were). This is insane, idiotic and hopefully my fellow Americans will wake up and turn this around before it takes hold. Congress needs to do their job and stop the Executive Orders we are not an authoritarian nation (yet). Stand with Mexico, Canada, Ukrain and the rest of the Free Democratic world.
