Canadian Lad here, I'm Very Proud of Our Prime Minister. Hats off Buds. Our Doors are open to those Americans that want to Live in Canada. Its a Big country I'm sure we can find a lake for you to live on free of Morons Like Donald Trump. As long as you don't mind Camping, fishing, canoeing, drinking Molson Beers watching hockey, and eating Pan cakes with Maple Syrup, lol.

Im Canadian, and all i hear is wah wah wah a big baby crying. He says he wants to work with America , but Canada's open border policies and letting just anyone come into this country. Liberals are destroying this country of Canada. Stop these open border policies.

The people of USA hear me & hear me now. Trumparse is selling the your country down a big rabbit hole & won't be able to save himself out of it. Way to go Canada, I stand with you. Canada, Canada, Canada all day, every day.

Trudeau is Big Mad. Trudeau is a Puppet Prime Minister, like Biden was, and stepping and fetching for the foreign interest who actually control Canada. Basically, Canada's Government has made policies and taken steps that imposed US Tariffs on Canada. You will need to thank Justin Trudeau, an authoritarian leader who is currently Dictator of Canada.

Hey Canada, we share your values in Europe, I think it's about time we get closer together and ditch the big bully by now. There is nothing to gain trying to appease a wannabe dictator

It is interesting to see how many people believe they are right supporting Trudeau (and Selensky) and not realizing they are too dumb to understand the whole picture. USA can be happy to have a president who finally ends the big Deep State scam against the own taxpaying people. UK, Canada, France, Germany etc. should also have such leaders to save the people from betrayal by elites and Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels.

As a European, it's a pitty I'm not in America anymore. I'm very curious what the American citizens think about this. This will have a negative effect on the entire world. I don't know if Trump realizes it, but America will not come out on top. It will become the biggest loser of this whole ordeal, I'm afraid. This is becoming dangerous. Europe always saw the East as the big threat, but it might be the West. (Not you Canada, we love you <3 )

A real Indigenous American here we really dont care, make canada the 51st, get out of the wars. Gov. Trudeau is a liar, 2 way tariffs make it equal duh with your square head ass, big ass nose. He is using witchcraft with his words, he sounds like he is reading a bedtime story to put you all back to sleep.

trump has declared war on the world . . .lets make him pay . . .BIG TIME . . well done Canada .

I hate Canada with a passion... As a brother, when there's hockey involved... But I will always have your back! Big love from Sweden ??❤️??

Thank you Canada! From a spat on Europe and Sweden. I saw that even Warren Buffett is furious. When you upset such big money, you are on the way out.

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

He's leaving office this month. He has nothing to lose. Canada will be the big loser in the end. As an American I stand for America.

I'm doing ongoing research to cease any spend on any US product or service. I'm buying software from Europe, using Posteo for email, deGoogling this year and vastly reducing Youtube. I trace all groceries to eliminate anything US sourced and I now check that products are Mexican and Canadian as much as I'm able and they are supplying. I've stopped planning trips to LA and NYC, I might resume if American voters ever have the good sense to vote en masse against obviously fascist plans and personalities. I've holidayed in Mexico three times and would visit Canada and Europe in future. US is not safe for everyone any longer, not even its citizens and looks to be getting increasingly insecure and offering prosperity only to the already mega rich through crooked policies and agencies. Every week or two I double check the facts on groceries and online products/services to make sure I'm not accidentally buying American. The election was so compromised in November I'm glad people are realising the only action we can take is with our wallets from not logging in to 'big tech' to buying bread and apples etc.

Great speech. But won't work I'm afraid. You used a lot of words, so you lost Trump after the first sentence. And more important, you forgot to say, 'thank you USA'.\nI'm from Europe: we stand by Canada! You should build a big wall, to keep Trump and his corrupt groupies inside the usa. We will help pay for it, and I think Mexico will do too.

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

100% TARRIFS ON TESLA WILL STOP MUSK'S SALES IN CANADA ALL THE TESLAS SITTING IN CANADA GATHERING DUST AND NOW MUSK WILL HAVE TO SHIP THEM BACK TO THE U S A AT HIS EXPENSE AND STORE THEM OR HAVE A BLOWOUT SALE BECAUSE OF OVER STOCK!!!!!! THIS WILL REALLY PUT A BIG DENT IN TESLA'S PROJECTED PROFITS!!!!! TRUMP IS FINE WITH MUSK WEARING A TSHIRT IN THE WHITEHOUSE WITH A BUNCH OF BIG WHITE BOLD LETTERS BUT HAS A PROBLEM WITH ZELENSKY WEARING A WELL FITTED CLEAN OUTFIT TRUMP REALLY THINKS HE'S A GOD BUT IS REALLY AN EVOLVING DICTATOR HAND IN HAND WITH PUTIN WHO OFFICIALLY IS ALREADY A DICTATOR!!!!!!!

How about you address the problems in your shitty country then maybe we would reconsider. But honestly, this isn’t going to affect America one percent as it will affect Canada so I really don’t care. Tax my syrup big whoop.

This jerk is making a big mistake. If I were trump I would spend the next 4 years manufacturing everything Canada imports and wish them luck?

Trudeau Gov.destroyed Canada all aspect of existing country.\nTrudeau treat Canadian citizens as conquered people. Trudeau acted the same way with USA to involved in election against Trump.\nCanadian paíd for enviroment to kill own economy to grow..\nNow ,For Canadian citizens is better to be state of USA not too much tax.more freedom,not discrimination the white Christian man. It is wrong to create hate against American what next - contempt latter degenaration.\nTrudeau want to made damage to USA. The best,after stop deliver hydro ,energía is develop produce,fantynol will be big problem\nI prefere Alberta Primer Schmit to find solution in talking deal.\nOther way is join to USA for better life for Canadian people, and better west global possibility against China\n.

Im American. Not a big fan of Trudeau. But you were far too nice to my country and especially to the Trump regime. I think most americans are on your side. Do what you gotta do we're with you. Slava Canada

Canada and Greenland and Panama Canal , should be going after Nazis and terrorist and big Pharma and the Tech Giants who are we the Jake Paul of politics?

I'm american and no I didn't vote for this big bumbling bafoon. He isn't a leader of anything but what he wants. I stand firmly with Canada & ukraine. I truly believe God is with us.❤❤❤

The Donald is digging a big hole.\nDomestically an internationally.\n???????????????\nSell your gas an oil to us canada

Big Respect to Canada!

Fellow Americans, let's save money by not buying from red USA states or Republican- allied companies, then we can go ahead and spend more to get Canadian products. Put a big MADE IN CANADA sticker on it, and I'll buy it.

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

Much of what Canada imports from the US can be replaced with non- American products, or even avoided completely.\nMuch of what the US imports from Canada is is big ticket stuff that can’t be replaced quickly in just a few days, weeks or even months. Oil, steel, potash, lumber, vehicles… it’s gonna hit the US really hard, but nowhere near as difficult for Canada. Is he trying to get a civil war??

Very good response, great communication and reasonable. Big fan of Canada. Disappointed we are at this point with our neighboring country. Not a good move Donald. Russia, really?

As a American here, I stand with Canada!!! BIG NO FOR Russia. BIG NO FOR TRUMP!!!!!

We only get eight or 9% natural gas from Canada. It’s not a big deal maple syrup ketchup come on.

Trudeau is big trouble for Canada

Arizona here. usually a proud American when Trump is not in office. but I stand with Canada and Ukraine. please let Trump choke on a Big Mac and end this nonsense.

No you believe in us protecting you for free for forever. And it’s over. You are crippling yourselves Canada. And again, you must have a team of moderators that crowd source opinions and use mine often to prepare you for your next speech. I am but one intelligent Hoosier calling these moves… you really will be losing seafood here next ;). Trade war is hardly 25%, and the tariffs were meant to be reciprocal anyways XD so wooo, big move. Weren’t you facing fraud charges or something just recently cuz you stole from your own people?

More people need to speak up like mister Trudeau here. American government is not only screwing others, but also their own people. I do not believe that Americans understand how much disrespect they have gain. It is time that Americans start to wake up and speak up. Canada, we respect you big time.

I am American and so many of us love Canada and Trudeau! Unfortunately people are realizing they made a big mistake voting for Trump! This nation is in so much trouble and for the first time in my life I am afraid of what’s ahead for us.

America is too big to be threatened by Canada though.

Is it possible that this is all about access to critical minerals - which Canada and Ukraine hav in abundance. America has form in creating a pretence to go to war to protect access to cheap oil. But in the past these wars were against arab nations and so the West found it easy to 'other' and accept the need for war. Now America under Trump is hoping to secure critical minerals (modern day oil) - but because they are allies he cant start an outright war. So hes doing it through trade. This is old form for America. When looked through this lense is not so difficult to understand. The big question is will the west allow him to bully western allies - democracies to be bullied into submission?

He doesn’t care ABOUT THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF CANADA ?? BUT HE EXPECTS PEOPLE LIVING IN TENTS ?️ WHILE IMMIGRANTS FLOURISH BUYING CARS AND BIG HOMES ? TO CARE ABOUT HIS JOB THATS IN JEOPARDY??\n\nSorry but I VOTE TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF CANADA ?

This man is a dictator and he doesn’t represent Canadians. Canada has big problems and its legal drugs are killing people and being sold everywhere. Thank you, Trump for these tariffs.???

Good on Canada for standing up to the big orange baby\nHoping the other regions follow Ontario and cut off the power to the US or start to tax the energy they sell to the us

We the people didn’t vote for this Clown . It was just a big mistake. We stand with Canada and Ukrainian

Proud of how our country is rallying together and for not stooping to Trump's level <3 My heart goes out to everyone in America who did not vote for this. Big hugs from Canada!

Trudeau mentioned big things, the boi Trump only understands 'bigly things' ? I'm with Canada

Make Canada a big buffer zone

We don't need spending money for Ukraine Trudeau spending money without limits when Canada have big problems economy inflation double homeless and emigration problems we must be realistic what is good also for AS County \nCANADA FIRST ?? ? ?? ? ?? \nCANADA ALWAYS ?? ? ?? ? ??

❤ Big support to Canada

Trump is a sociopath. He is my country undoing, it's big mistake. I pray that we able to survive his presidency. As a native Californian I extent my most sincere apology to Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and to the rest of our allies. I'm so very sorry, we dont want this.

Trudeau has a big mouth and soon Trump is going to close it i hope Trump takes over Canada and puts Trudeau in prison or what ever he sees fit for Trudeau

I was questioning PM Trudeau for his foreign relationships and dealing with Khalistan separatists and straining Canada's relationship with India. But this speech changed that perception. I like how he addresses the very issue. Crystal clear and a very matured leader I would now change my position about him. This trade war will really hurt both sides. It may help govt as businesses will pay more on sales taxes. But it will ultimately hurt the consumers, especially middle and low income folks on both sides of the border a big way. There are so many problems to solve in USA and he focused on this.
