You ain't reasonable nor polite Trudeau you taking advantage of Americans O V E R find yourself another idiot to play with. Trumps tariffs are long overdue so glad this is happening. We have THE BEST president ✊✊

I find it particularly effective that Canada is focusing on red state America. Kentucky alcohol is just one example. Prime Minister Trudeau is also targeting those issues that they can most effectively respond, like electricity in the norther tier, LNG (shifting to EU). Trump is screwing over our closest and greatest allies, in deference to Putin, a war criminal.

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

Govenor Trudeau lol. Yall should move to Canada and find out how ya like it. Dont talk smack, step up and head north if they so great.

One thing I find cool about Canadian federal speeches is that they conduct it in both English and French - Canada’s official languages. Their politicians are mostly bilingual because they are required to be. That’s kinda cool.

Canada should put another 10% on energy exports to US.... Actually, put export taxes on every product that US needs and cannot immediately find somewhere else.

WOW! Are you listening America. F around and find out.

That's hilarious how CNN has adopted a loser PM of a third world country to be it's faint beacon of their version of Democracy. \n \nCanada is a colony of the UK. It's not a Democracy. \n \nIn this day and age of freedom and independence, and respect for human rights, Canada and the UK governments should be ashamed that colonialism is still their guiding principle. \nI find that ridiculous that CNN does not see the hypocrisy of Canada and the UK leading the call for continued Ukraine independence. \n \nIs this slavish relationship the attraction for CNN and it's ignorant presenters? Isn't CNN the least bit ashamed they admire slavery in the 21st century and that they are giving voice to colonialists?

Lol. Yall that love this guy so much should move to Canada. Seriously, just head north you will find it.

Finally Trudeau finds pair balls

Long as United States money is Flying out the doors everyone is Happy but soon as they find unfairness going on… They wanting to Blame President Trump .. He’s are last Hope to save United States because down the road there won’t be any money for other countries to beg for there’s none left …. CHANGE IS DIFFICULT… But it has to be done for United States

Canada will get through this. That is what we do. We will find another way to do things. Canadian's love a challenge.

?? Canada you F around you find out. You support that cook head Zelensky ????

just find ways to make more money guys. youll be alright

Trump is the Manchurian candidate. It’s funny that people continue to try and find reason in his actions.

To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

I think that the USA will soon find itself all alone in the world. Canada, Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. are just seeing that you can't rely on the usa.\nThese countries will reorient themselves. China will be happy.

Maybe Trudeau will come around when Canadians find out they've been duped by him.

There's been a war on drugs since I was born. Once they find a drug stronger than fentanyl they not gonna talk about it like that anymore notice how it's not about cocaine anymore or meth or bath salts?

I find myself (United States Citizen) cheering for any country imposing tariffs on the United States. Put the largest shit stain (excuse my language) on Trump's presidency. It is the only way his brainwashed followers will understand. Make things expensive and make them think twice about who they voted for. I would absolutely love for them to be able to watch this and understand, but they have been brainwashed since 2016. The only thing that will be real to them, is the impact on their finances. If you do that, the 2026 midterms will be an absolute wave of republican seats flipping Democrats.

Great job Trudeau didnt think i could hate anybody more than Trump but JD Vance is now in the lead after friday. How did you find a more brainless, spineless peice of garbage than that born with silver spoon orange oerson with dementia. Impressive almost ...

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

This couldn’t be a worse time for me. I just recently stopped working hundreds of kilometres from home, have a kid, wife, and another kid on the way. I fear I won’t be able to find local work now, I just want to be with my family. Sick of oligarchs/billionaires affecting my day to day life.

Yeah that not a good move Trump. We need to find a way to make him change his mind.

This is not going to hurt America. Trudeau is a loser. Didn't he resign? This will cripple Canada's economy, it will not effect the US. You think Canada is in a good place now?... Your crazy. Canada f'd around and now they are going to find out.

Here is another approach to Trumps tariff. Any country like Canada, China and Mexico etc etc. All these countries can tell Trump shove it. Stop importing goods into the U.S. find other countries that can and replace the U.S. and watch America and Republicans literally collapse. Just a thought Tariff means customer will pay more for sure.

We find no fault in you Canada. We have a commie in the W.H.

To hell with Canada we don't believe you and we will find someone else to do business with

Trump and MAGAs fucked the entire USA. These welfare MAGAs will find out.

Trump is acting destructive everywhere, where he engages. He is destroying his country because the prices in USA will go up quickly and long lasting and their stocks will fall dramatically. Inflation is USA will soar and get out of control. His policies are firing back on his own economy.\n\nCanada will have little ore none impact from these tarrifs, they will overcome this initial shock quickly and recover. They will find better partners and other ways to trade. But USA won't find anybody any more who is willing to deal with him, everybody will avoid engaging with his administration, because they are acting ruthless. Trump isn't considering the ends of his decisions and he obviously doesn't care because he is an irresponsible person without a concience. He won't be able to do harm to other countries than to his own, he only destroys USA, because they elected him and they are following him on his way so far. The opposition in USA will become louder and much more influential and Trump will lose more and more companions in his own party.

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

I've never been a fan of Trudeau and strongly object to some of his past actions, but man did he find a pair of balls. Huge respect from Finland!

Anti-Semitic Jew hater Trudeau has his work cut out for him. Trudeau will likely find some way to blame the Jews for the tariff problems.

No, he didn't, you are a lier. Trump is trying to find peace, Canada has been ripping of the US for decades. Now, when the US tries to put a stop to it, you get butt hurt. Canada should have played nice.

I’m a U.S. American and I’m so horrified, ashamed, and sad about what trump’s administration is doing. I find no fault in you doing what is right and necessary for your country. I just wish we a government that wanted what is best for us.

Let´s find common ways for the remains of the western world. Looks like USA goes the way of Germany in the last century. This time the surrounding countries stayed together. Let´s stay together now.

Our farmers are going to find out we get almost all our fertilizer from Canada. ?

As a European, more specifically someone from The Netherlands. I will not forget the sacrifices the Canadians have made to safe my country from a murderous regime that had taken over our sovereign country. The Netherlands will always stand with our friends. May the US finds it senses sooner rather than later. This is no way to treat your friends and allies.

BLISTERING SPEECH....hahaha...the bllind leading the blind in the comments...folks...wait until you find out what's ACTUALLY GOING ON....

Trump objective is to crush the US economy, to find a reason to stay in power beyond the 2 term limits. He does not care that our economy is crushed as long he stays in power.

Find another sugar daddy ???

Ok I need some help understanding this. If it’s a dumb idea for the US then why isn’t it a dumb idea for Canada too? As I understand it, the US tariffs mean things imported from Canada get a few slapped on top and that is paid by Americans, to discourage them from buying Canadians things. Why wouldn’t Canada continue importing US things as before and not put extra fees on top, so they don’t have to find new suppliers and cause disruption? Then it is just America punching itself in the face not both of them.

Everybody get your passports and paperwork in line. You never know if you will find yourself having to move

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

As an American, I find it insane that we are picking a fight with Canada. As far as I’m concerned, Canada, Australia and the UK are extended family. You don’t disrespect and threaten family like this.

Trump's tariffs justification claiming fentanyl is like the Bush administration justification of war for weapons of mass destruction. Republican Playbook to fool the unthinking masses. If it works keep using it. We'll find the truth a decade later after a fact finding commission like the Iraq weapons of mass destruction.

We have a petulant child and his evil sidekick running the country and it breaks my heart that their acts are hurting good, kind people, including our wonderful friends to the north. It is my hope that the GOP will find its spine and do something to stop Trump from further damaging the country, our allies, and the world.

I find it funny you have canada and president of Ukraine threatening us now ?

Push good people too far, and find out. PGPFO!

Well done to Prime Minister Trudeau and the Canadian people for standing up to donOLD. Find other markets for your goods. There are other countries who would love to replace the American products on your shelves
