I’m Canadian but lived in the US for 12 years. Trump keeps moving the goal post. This is bullying, plain and simple. Do not yield, Canada. You yield to a bully and he’ll keep taking and taking. I know my people of the north are strong and they know the hardships ahead are worth it for the greater good. But I also know my friends here in the US are largely in Canada’s favor and for that I am thankful. President Trump does not speak for all Americans.

Unfortunately, Donald and his buddies are very much on another path - not Democracy!\nThe people of this country deserve so much better and so do our fellow North Americans, the Canadians. Dear People. Please know that in the hearts of most Americans, you remain our trusted allies and friends. And please accept, from the people, our heartfelt apology that we failed to get the word out in time and get the vote out sufficiently to keep both countries safe.

As Trudeau has done for the past 9yrs, he puts Canadians last. Even in his pointless speech to North Americans, we're the last to be addressed. Election.

Trump will ruin the North American economy, and when normal businesses cannot survive, federally funded, corrupted corporations by foreign entities and loyalist to Trump‘s next term will be hailed as saviours and given extra power. Trump‘s aggressive foreign policies, allowing Trump to expand US territory will cause world, military conflict, and lock Americans under fascist doctrine and possibly cause World War 3.

You ask what it’s about…. obviously it’s about Trump’s thirst for power and money. His only goal is to accumulate more money. He doesn’t care who he harms in his quest for money. He doesn’t care about the American people. He didn’t care about our allies. He doesn’t care about anybody except himself. If he is successful, the world players will be Trump, Putin, North Korea and any other dictatorships fighting each other over earth’s resources. Trump‘s goal was never to represent the United States of America and bring prosperity to her Citizens. This is just about his thirst for money and power, obviously. He will destroy America in the same way he has destroyed all of his businesses.

traitor North Americans. Now they are on the side of Russia and China

Donald Duck Trump MESS IT ALL UP! THIS OLD ORANGE MAN was voted by the blinded Americans. He's a puppet of a dictator. A cowardly leader who doesn't deserve the position in the oval office. He's full of greed and selfishness. Your GREAT KARMA WILL COME SOON!☝️☝️☝️\nBlame all of these to TRUMP, JD VANCE, ELON MUSK and their American supporters. You will reap what you sow. It may not be now, but in the future.☝️ You'll regret what you did.\n\n???I WILL STAND FOR MY COUNTRY, CANADA! WE ARE THE TRUE NORTH, STRONG AND FREE NATION. THE ENTIRE CANADIAN PEOPLE, AND ALL OTHER NATIONS AGAINST THE NARCISSIST IN THE OVAL OFFICE.

Ask our best friend there to the north how come Canadians get a dual citizenship to live in the US an American citizens can't. I think we've been more ingenious in the past to them and all the rest that distilled from our country.

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

Are American's aware of the living standards of your new allies (Russia, Belarus, North Korea, etc) ?

We stand with ??. I’m an American and wants Canada to stand on business do not back down from trump. Showing love from North Carolina. It will hurt the American people but a lesson needs to be learned. We smart Americans with logic sense stand 10 toes down with Canada. Handle your business sir… we are with you. We have had enough with this fool and he needs to be gone by all means necessary. Time to take the gloves off AMERICANS and get this idiot out of office. ???

Congress and Biden approved grants of 350 millions at least x2 while Hawaiians lost their homes and got 300dol from the government for assistance, North Carolina Republicans were ignored if they had any political signs and many left homeless, California also many left lost their lives and left homeless. The previous government didnt care about its Citizens. Trump is looking out for Americans and Americans tax payer money. Canada and mexico did have open borders for illegal immigration and drugs to come in. Zelensky thinks that Americans work for him and that he can come whenever he wants and demand not just money weapons but troop involvement.

?? ?? ?? This American stands with our friends to the north. ?? ?? ??

Trump is trying to bring back jobs particularly manufacturing jobs to the entire North America continent. This is what this is all about folks. Trump is trying to improve the job quality to all North Americans. Trudeau is a small thinker with a nice head of hair but real life issues aren’t a fashion show. Let’s learn the dynamics of the real issues together folks ????

American here that you Prime Minister Trudeau for being a true leader of our amazing neighbors to the north. Putin owns trdumps and he is a traitor to Americans and her allies I stand with Ukraine ?? Mexico ?? Canada ?? United Kingdom and all of our allies. I DO NO STAND WITH RUSSIA

Over half of Americans are uneducated and lots are ignorant too, yes- but the smart ones stuck here are TERRIFIED, we are so f*cking scared that we are going to turn into North Korea. Anyone not from the USA trust the smart ones screaming for help- our government fills our foods with poisons and we are all weak but a lot do want to fight this evil

As an American who has pride for our military and Canadian heritage, I stand behind PM Trudeau’s decision. He’s just playing defense. Like he said, the US and Canada are not just border allies, they have been our greatest friend. \nIf you are Canadian, please know not all of us voted for this clown who is ruining our country. From North Carolina

Not buying American if I can help it. Not spending a day’s vacation in the U.S. as long as MAGAts are running the show. Not setting foot in a red state ever again. MAGAts, should you come north of the border, I suggest you not slip and reveal yourselves as such; for you will not be greeted as friends. 14:33

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

I’m American and never thought our despicable president would be so low as to alienate our dear friends to the north! Shame on maga and Trump supporters that gave him this power god bless Canada and god please don’t forsake our country we are not our leader!

I live in northern MN by the Canadian national railway, I get stopped by these trains for 20-30 minutes daily, they are loaded with every type of goods, mostly chinese shipping containers! They go south full and north empty! Stand strong real Americans, there is nothing to fear but fear itself broadcast by globalist!

I'm glad there is still a trustworthy and intelligent voice of reason on the North American continent to counter the %#$@ that comes out of Donald Trump.

Canadians and Mexicans are both also NORTH AMERICANS

It makes no geopolitical sense for Trump to do this unless the goal is only to destabilise the North American continent.

well done mr Trudeau!!! the true North American spirit!!!

American here. To Canada and Mexico: do your thing. Our sorry excuse for a president is doing this for NO reason other than he's a complete spoiled CHILD. I stand with our neighbors to the north and south!!!?❤? ??❤

Tariffs 25% higher are in place in The United States of America north and southern borders and the canadian prime minister's words are some of the consecuences. He doesn't want trade war ,he doesn't want anything against americans but all the people in government in the north, the center an in the south of the border , have to work for the best and rhe common interest in notrh America ,as Pam and Paula were saying.

Trump will ruin the North American economy, and when normal businesses cannot survive, federally, funded, corrupted corporations by foreign entities and loyalist to Maga‘s next term will be hailed as saviours and given extra power. Trump‘s aggressive foreign policies, allowing Trump to expand US territory, world, military conflict Will lock Americans under fastest doctrine that will cause World War III.

Canadian here, thank you for the support in these comments. Canada will remain the true north strong and free! Time to remind the Americans how Canadian deal with fascists. As we did on DDAY when Canadian forces were the first ones around the Nazi Flank, a similar evil arises and Canada will not relent.

For 2 decades Canadian cities have had a condo building boom (for non-North Americans, a condo(minium) is a building built by developers with the intent of selling off the apartments individually, instead of the whole building being one large rental property - that's a rental building) with the rather strange peculiarity that the bast majority of those condos are small - studios, one bedroom and one bedroom + den (in North American real estate linguo, a den is a small room without a window). There are some two bedroom apartments, and three+ bedroom apartments are very rare. One of the reasons for this is a general mindset that apartments are for singles, young childless couples and retired empty-nesters, while families are supposed to live in a house of their own. Another reason is that some archaic building codes restrict the type of apartments developers can fit in a building. The result of this is that in a country which certainly does not lack space, there are now tons of small apartments (the demand for which has been going down in many areas), but it's too expensive to afford a larger space to buy (whether a house or one of those rare large apartments) once you want to start a family.

Over the last 4 years Quatar donated over 24 BILLION to top North American Universities to ensure they get their Islamist students a student visa and enrollment. So they can have many Islamists to OUTBREED us as they have been instructed to do.

so to put this in perspective Canada arrests whoever has crossed or plans on crossing while America only arrests people who cross from Canada but not from the USA? am i missing something here? we didn't need Trump to baby anybody about doing our job he can do his. you need more border security in the north, and to say we don't would be a lie, but to say we need it from Americans is an absolute lie since clearly you can't do your job either at your southern border... the argument remains a stalemate. 2:05 to 2:51 , that's what we stand on. we aren't the problem here if you have voyager busses going back and forth. nobody forced anybody we have been waiting for a bold move like this to point out the obvious. we had trucker drama in 2020 and are on a mass recruit since, imagine that in your beloved new york it would be chaotic i'm sure, inflation has been going on since...possibly because of Tariffs beforehand but no one talks about that right? get the IRS involved.

Im a jealous of these immigrants being able to abuse the system like this while natural born north Americans struggle, maybe I could illegally cross the border and claim I'm a Canadian citizen climate refugee fleeing old man winter to more temperate climate in order to survive.

Believe me, anyone who is already in Canada doesn't want to go south. Canada is having problems with people coming north from the US. That's really why we beefed up our border. We tell Americans the opposite because the one who are on threads like this one, are too stupid to tell the difference lol.

So, Canada is allowing these people into their country to sneak into our country. They couldn't get to our northern border if Canada didn't accommodate them. Entry into North American countries most be much more restrictive. Does the Canadian officials really think that turning away foreigners that say they are vacationing for two weeks is going to cripple their silly economy? They are telling Canadian border officials that, then they have two weeks to find their way into the United States. Moreover, the buses leaving Canada must meet very high restrictions and more Canadian border agents must be on duty. I'm fed up with my country being a flop house for the world. With all the energy they have to come here, they should put toward their own shit hole countries to make them better.

Canada helicopters arent looking for hunans, theyre looking for where American border patrol are not so they can sneka illegals into the states. Trudeau is like mexico of the north now.

Canada gets 40,000 to 80,000 year coming North\nWe tried last 10 years to stop it\n\n&\nMigrants fly to NYC take bus to local town closest to border, & than take can literally right to place where they cross into Canada\n\nNow because Pierre Poilievre is going to win our next election for our Conservative Party\nWho says in his election promises to close the border\n\nAs when one crosses into Canada illegally\n\nThey bypass our immigration & go thru our Court system\n\nUnder present Liberal govt\nAs they wait for court case\n\nSocial Services hooks them up with place to live\nMonthly welfare\n& even employment \n\nSo illegal migrants r going back South as they know when Conservatives win\nDeportations will be enforced like what is happening in U.S right now\n\nSanctuary cities is attracting them back into U.S. \n\nMany Independent Media covered going back to 2015\n\nRebel News\nDid several stories as well as others\n\nSo I guess I can only say\n\nHIW DOES IT FEEL !!\n\nCanada tried & tried to get American border guards to stop on ur end \n\nThis is result of in action by Biden/Trump & Justin Trudeau’s Lii is break govt

People forget that border is not the sole responsibility of Canada! Migrants and stuff flows both directions! So why is Canada being made to deal with the entire thing? Where were the Americans stopping the flow coming north? No where, being dropped off by the busload and directed north into Ontario and Quebec! This entire continent has this same issue. But I guess blaming Canada just makes it easier to swallow

thing is, Trump has the right idea about erasing the phony US-Canada border. What you do is look at all the resources, customs, inspectors, the massive amount from both sides on that border, ok?\nNow, it would be far FAR better than you take all of that and you now MOVE IT, all those choppers, people, money, time, resources along the North American border. the OUTSIDE perimeter of Canada and the outside perimeter of USA. \nNow, Canada does a far far better job stopping 1000s of Sikhs ad Chinese and whoever else before they GET INTO North American landmass. \n otherwise, yes it's difficult to stop once they are INSIDE Canada because that border is so long, so vast, so sparsely populated, wilderness forever, forests, it becomes extremely difficult by that time. \nErase the phony border.

A key component is being overlooked. The reason North Americans and Western Europeans can travel the world freely is because after our studies, temporary work or vacation, we go back to our home country. If your home country has a high likelihood of someone using a temporary visa to permanently stay in another country, then of course the Visa rejection rate will be high. No matter if it's India, Vietnam, Nigeria, etc. If the likelihood of you going back home is low then your visa rejection rate will be high.

White Americans are terrified of becoming the minority when they will be in 15 more years and they can't stop it the white race in North America is coming to a end

..it is amazing how President Claudia is able to react to reality and how simply she evaluates and judges it, placing her people at the top of the place from which she does not itend to falter, and continuing to emphasize again and again, as many times as necessary, the good and fair coexistence that must exist between neighboring countries and in the face of the growing demonstrations and impositions that are nothing more than abuses against everyone and in full view of the world, coming from an isolationist policy that the new North American administration had in mind and is beginning to establish and carry out.

American slavery was legal slavery in the United States from the 18th to the 19th centuries. Slavery originated in the early days of Britain's colonization of North America and was recognized by thirteen colonies in the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

Indians are doing crazy stuff scamming ppl I heard from so many North American ppl that’s why they don’t like welcoming Indians tht mich

Create the chaos, then after supply them with the solution. \n\nThis is just the start of the formation of the north American trade union

I look across the river every morning to look at Michigan. I feel sorry for the guy who voted for Trump that’s now out of a job but elections have consequences. Funny, it only took Trump 11 days to screw the North American economy. It’s like we are casinos. Who looses money running a casino?

Trump has ruined North American relations forever.

Putin must be toasting Trump right now… as the three major North American democratic trading partners weaken themselves economically.

All these damn guns coming from usa to canada.\nthese tariffs has nothing to do with immigaration or fentanyl.\njust trump just babbling about nothing.\nBigger picture here is that trump wants a north american alliance.

??Canada WILL sustain itself! With abundant resources (oil, gas, minerals, timber, water), a strong economy, global trade, skilled labor, and food self-sufficiency, we stand strong! ???\n\nTo our American friends, thank you for standing with Canada. Your support means the world to us! We appreciate you and our shared bond as neighbors.
