Your no friend the Canadian people are did they already told you they want you gone so but you have to say don't matter You don't even make vehicles and you tariff our vehicles do you need us a lot more than we need you And as far as pooling goes yes he's a dictator and not a good person but he also did want he had to do for his country since NATO kept moving east after promising not to and yet we still try to help you trade and they want to try to be tough guys like you how's that working for both of you

From Europe : America is over ! You have vote for the beast to destruct your country ! No one trust you anymore and for many many many years, and this no matter who the next president will be in 4 years. we are fed up with you. \nYou can have all the wealth you want but you will have no friends anymore.

My family has been in America before it was the United States ( since 1738 ). The person that was elected our president is an embarrassment to us and our friends. We stand with Canada and Ukraine.

It is no longer a secret. President Donald Trump is a Russian Asset. He's openly destroying American Allies and closest friends while getting extremely close to Russia. Canada is America's closest ally, neighbour, and trading partner, and this is how you're going to treat them. The sooner the American people realizes this and pressure their elected officials to make Donald Trump to reverse course, the less damage this will cost Americans in the long run.

yeah now i would never trust the USA again since they did backstab us in the back. USA are you willing to lose all your allies all your friend just to satisfy a man ego ?

Canada aint usa closest friend or ally, Israel is\n\nSee how none of American gov dares say anything against israel???

Looks like Donald won't be happy until the US has pushed away all its friends. Then is he going to ally with Russia? Wow!

If Canada is such a great friend of the US, then why have they not paid their NATO bill or manned their borders? Also, if Canada feels that the US is being unfair or not great friends and allies, then wy the public temper tantrum. Go find new friends build new alliances. Dear Canadians you are a sovereign nation. JT says you will fight? Why? The US is also a sovereign nation and has a right to be friends with any country. Yes, including Russia. Isnt that what you claimed when Russia invaded the Ukraine? Ukraine could be friends with anyone and did not give Russia the rigt to invade.

As a German citizen: our US friends make me so sad and scared at the same time. After our people were defeated, we learned (at least for many of us) where nationalism and hatred can lead and how important international cooperation is. You were our friends as the Canadians were and are. Please come to your senses dear US friends. Underneath all the bad, I hope that the Canadian-European partnership can continue to grow

Why don't you pay your depts to the USA . If we are such good friends

Who the hell voted for Dump? A convicted criminal, u voted for a criminal. And now that criminal is supporting Russia and North Korea, alienating our friends and allies, and doing what he said he would do...become a dictator. Oh, but not help the US economy and reduce costs. Surprised? Not. I voted for Harris.

Trump is a new ditactor of USA. Good luck americans. Brazil winner against Bolsonaro. USA LOST TO TRUMP. Good luck my friends

I hope the rest of the world watching this takes note on how the US will readily harm its longest term friend and biggest ally! This is your chance to stop buying American and buying local. Encourage others to do the same. If possible, help out the innocent countries the US is trying to destroy for no reason besides being a bully. Buy their products or visit them on holiday.

Why can’t we all just be friends?

Donald Trump has plan to invade Canada, Mexico and other countries in South America. If he will do it no Russia will support him that why he started make friend with Putin.

A note that as a Canadian I don't know of a friend or family member who will buy anything American again.

NO, trudeau OUR BEST FRIEND & ALLY is ISRAEL ??❤️?? YOU LOST ME AT CALLING PUTIN A DICTATOR YET NOT CALLING ZELENSKY ONE! JUST ANOTHER DEEPSTATE REGURGITATING PUPPET! ?

If the world would like to depose Trump and friends, more than half the US would stand by and let it happen.

Dozen ( 12 ) eggs already 12 USD and 1-gallon of milk is 7 USD in Massachusetts is what a friend told me.

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

Don't try to blame him and canada. DRUMPY, and friends did it. As a us citizen, props to him and them.

A Filipino here with friends in Canada and I support Canada, PM Trudeau and its citizens.

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

Some excellent leadership from Mr Trudeau there. Much respect from your UK friends. Intelligence and truth - two things Trump is incapable of. The US will find themselves down the line with one friend only - Russia - who will then eventually screw over the US as they always have. Trump is a disaster for the US, and the wider world. The world is starting to turn their back on the US, as the US is doing to the world.

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

Brazilian here supporting 100% Canadian friends. You guys rock. Well done. Impressive! Love and peace for you guys. Stay strong. Boycott Americans! The world is fed up with this narcissism, imperialism and heavy capitalism that destroys the planet in the name of money!

Why is Canada calling USA a friend? Listen to Kissinger will you?: To be a foe of USA may be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal.

Canadian here ????????!! To any Americans reading this comment, my disgust over this whole tariff situation is not on the USA, it’s not Americans, IT’S TRUMP!!! Period!!! There is no doubt millions of you are very angry and embarrassed about what he wants to do. I want our 2 nations to be friends and allies forever. Any animosity between us is just extremely pointless. \n\nI want to thank the Americans who are wishing Canada and us Canadians the best and who are totally against what Trump wants to do!!!

People from the USA will pay the price for all this but Trump doesn't care because he considers them as slaves to him and his rich friends. As for Vance and his comment about war... Hey Vancy boy...wnaan talk about war? Really? USA got his arse kicked in Vietnam, Modagishu, Irak and Afghanistan. The only war they had some success with was against the weak Germans during WWII and they would have never been able to do it without the Russians. And let's not forget that they almost got defeated a few days after D-Day. This, because of..... bogs! So get here Vancy boy and you'll see what Canadians are capable of. Besides that, you need us more than we need you and you automobile's economy (among many others) is going to crash just because of you and Trump. No more electricity for you, no no more gas, no more oil, no more lumber, no more aluminum, no more alcohol sales and the worst part...no more maple syrup! Besides that, almost everything sold by the USA is coming from China, so why bother buying from the USA when we can buy the same for cheaper?

This is wrong. Canada / Canadians are our friends and allies. This is not how allies treat allies. I feel like I need to apologize to Canada.

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 ?

We love our Canadian friends, and I am so scared to lose their trust and friendship. ?

I thought America and Canada are close friends and business allies.

Sorry Canada we got stuck with the worst president of all time, Canada our ally, partner and great neighbor hast to deal with him. Hope this next 4 years will pass quick and our relationship go back as normal and friendly as before.

Since mr. trumph assumed office, troubles from US friends happens now! He is doing dumb things!

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

this is war not against normal people but against a facist wannabe , run mr trump you and your little friends run you obviously dont care about our kids our families world peace you gotta go !!!!!!

Playing the victim eh? You acknowledged that America and Canada are biggest friends and allies but when you were asked to secure your side of the border you declined America’s request. You have problems in locking your gates but you don’t have problems in locking bank accounts of CANADIAN TRUCK DRIVERS.\nGuuuurrllll, you already quit as the PM STFU.

Let's not forget that the USA has only ever won one war on its own. The American Civil War! WW1 and 2 were a global allied effort, Korea a stalemate, beaten pants down in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan a shambles. Their recent treatment of President Zolenski was utterly shameful. Trump doesn't seem to understand that America will need all the friends that it can muster in the coming decade. The USA will be very alone in a war against China if they have isolated and belittled their strongest and best allies. Vance, should just keep his mouth shut, because every time he opens it he shames America. While every time Trump his mouth, Putin comes out.

CANADA you GANGSTA!\nRespect my friends, nuthing but love from NZ and Australia!

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 Americans who voted for Trump doesn’t realize that the idiot doesn’t have their best interest and they will become poorer and struggle while he’s in power. Donald Duck will abuse his position to favour greed and ensure that his family amd already wealthy friends, constituents and enemies of the free world reign in evil ways beyond imagination.

Why would Trump inforce tariffs? What does he want? Is he trying to create a money or a need for his billionair friends businesses? What's the angle? He's losing his mind.

I wish I could take my vote back idk wtf he is doing! Making enemies with Canada and friends with Russia

All friends are not friends

Y’all are just Trump haters an sore losers..You will never be open minded at all..Ypur like a children..I wish you would all leave an move there and dance in women’s clothing..Better to be a friend to Russia then an enemies..

Canada: our closest ally and our closest friend. No truer words ever spoken, Prime Minister Trudeau. Were it not for our government, and by government, we mean the idiots in charge of our executive branch, we would have no new tarriffs. Left to our own devices, we might be reasonable, though that is somewhat dubious given our recent plebecite, which reintroduced the world to the sick, evil terrorist organization known as the Trump administration.

It’s not a US/Canada thing. It’s a Trump/Putin thing. Who needs enemies with friends like these.

As a US citizen who has lived within 5 miles of the Canadian border, worked for Canadian employers, and had many Canadian friends, I have always known them to be quietly strong people. This just strengthens my conviction. I am so glad SOMEONE will stand up to the tyrant who has stolen my nation.

Stop the steal, think about what this means. It means stop stealing from wealthy americans to help poor americans, help americans have healthcare, help american farmers keep their farms. The oligarchs of USA do not want this, they don't want to pay taxes, they want to rule with impunity like Putin. America is being lost day by day, Welcome to West Russia. I have many friends in the USA, and this is a very sad situation and my heart aches for them. I know this is going to hurt in Canada, but screw you orange menace and president Musk, I will go down fighting for the freedoms we (our forefathers) earned, defeating the last facist pig that ruled a country
