??? we don’t need Canada

Canada should keep Trudeau - I sure wish we could have him for POTUS

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.

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.

I wished, US had such a great president than Trudeau is prime minister to Canada. Not such a stupid idiot.

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!

Go Canada! Its gonna be hard but time to show what you guys are made of.

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.

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.

I'm American and I don't blame Canada one bit. They must do what they must do against a lunatic.

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!??????????????

American here. We love you, Canada ❤️

Justine Trudeau is great prime minister of Canada?? ?

I wish I were in Canada right now.

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….

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

As an American, I'm so sorry, Canada. I can't say I don't know anyone who wanted this. But I am not one of them, and never have been. This is insane.

How some of you are acting is very funny .. I agree with what are president is doing so as a American ?? step it up Canada

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

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

bro was turning canada into india now hes suddenly being nationalist what??

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

We stand with Canada

Welcome to or 51st state Canada we own u now

Donald is having senile dementia we think he doesnt remember anymore previous agreement with Canada

lol ? nobody cares what Canada thinks or says. In the end he can do nothing and it’s burning him up inside ?

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.

Canada ?

What Trump wants is Canada as a 51st State of America

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.

PM Trudeau, thank you for your honesty and respect for Americans and your own Canadians. Donald does not represent America’s values. I stand with Canada ??.

We don’t want this either. We don’t want tRUMP. Or MUSKRAT. We want Canada. Our friends and neighbors.

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.

Canada speaks tough , but a shame seeing neighbours fighting each other
