As a Canadian, \n\nTrudeau is stepping down because he is hated by the majority of this country. He has suspended parliament for his parties own special interest, making it it impossible to properly respond to anything. \n\nTrudeau does not speak for Canada. He’s the reason we’re in this mess. You Americans do not want Trudeau as your president he has ruined this country.

To our Canadian friends, Most people in the USA are good people, some are being misled and brainwashed by Maga trash. Mother Nature needs to hurry up...; I honestly don't understand how people can fear such weak minded freak. Zelenskyy can see this, reason why he did not back down. If a person tries to lie to my face, I will call it out. I don't give a fudge who they are.

I’ve said it a million times. Waste of time to even reason with Trump communists and totalitarian ideas. Just ask anyone now who is 55 years old or older and grew up in - say - Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union. These commies will tell you anything … black is white, what you see it’s not what we see, it’s just not to be reasoned with. Exactly like the Canadian PM says, just trust him! They did all they had been asked to do and now the US gov says “no, you didn’t, no it’s not enough”. It’s a communist lie. If Canada did twice as much as needed, they would have said the same, lame lies. ? Lastly, this is all from the Soviet playbook, way before Putin and it’s still their “playbook”.

Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite; but we will not back down from a fight . \n\nThere are no winners in a trade war!\n\nAmericans know that the issue is tRump & not the American people!

I purchased my canadian flag today and I live in the u.S I stand behind you, one hundred percent canada! I love you and love everything you stand for. He's a lunatic in there is no reasoning with a lunatic. His cult following has gone too far. I couldn't ask for better neighbors.I couldn't ask for better friends. I love you, and I will more than proudly, fly your flag on my porch!!! ❤❤❤

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

I am Canadian, and I know very well that the majority of Americans are reasonable and intelligent people. Unfortunately, your president and his team are not. It's sad.

From France, hard to understand how these two countries are going into such a fight. It’s like a family fight between brothers. American friends, it’s Time to realise you elected a dangerous guy who obviously has too much confidence on doing dumb thîngs, and clearly is not qualified to act as a gentleman or just being a reasonable president. Canadian cousins, France will always stand behind you..

Can we have the Canadian President instead of ours? Both Canada and Mexico responds to the requests and demonstrate they are trying to be our allies and for some reason we still proceed into a trade war. I think there's an aspect of the tariffs where it's a tax that's not called a tax, where there will be reductions in taxes for the wealthy and then these tariffs are added taxes for the general population.

Canadians are reasonable and polite. Trump is neither

Canada is the 51st state. There was no reason for Trump to call it out. Now, you can see the desperation on Trudeau's face, and the Canadian reaction.

Canadians are reasonable and polite but our leader is a moron

As a Canadian of Filipino descent, I am very proud how our Canadian leaders handle this crisis in a well-mannered approach - calm, well-reasoned, with dignity and standing on a strong ground. ?

Canadian are not reasonable to other nations but only to their us master. Are Canadian racist?

We are reasonable, than why are we being absolutely destroyed by our politicians for the last 10 years? Thats not reasonable.\n\nThe reason they so outspoken now, is because they know it will make it even worse than what they did, and will continue to do..\n\nIf this tarrif thing never happened would be business as usual, and the Canadian Politicians would just keep making Canada even more expensive, now they have someone to blame for the absolute horrible position they put Canada long before this issue.

CANADIAN ARE NICE PEOPLE , UNTIL YOU GIVE US A REASON NOT TO BE

Extremely proud Canadian here. This has nothing to do with the unjustified tariff war against us and our Mexican allies, but I just want to say, shame on you, Wayne Gretzky, for whatever reason you have to be standing shoulder to shoulder with a monster, and against the country of your birth.

I was never a fan of Trudeau, but compared to Trump he is a breath of fresh air. Give it 3 years and 10 months and Americans will be back to sanity. Don't know if America will be in one piece though. After the three stooges have fired everyone, and taken away their social security, and our soldiers dying for no reason against our allies, and the VA system disbanded from helping past soldiers who made sacrifices for this country, while the dollar has lost most of its value, while inflation is through the roof....yes it will be tough. To our Canadian and Mexican neighbors, do what you have to do to inflict pain on the meatheads in America who think Trump is their savior. They need to be taught a valuable lesson.

Canadians are reasonable but your not stop crying if you want to speak to trump pick up the phone

It seems like Trump is trying to suffocate Canada economically and forcing them to be the 51st state this is the only reason I feel like he would do this.... truly sad for the Canadian people sorry that my country is doing this to you

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

I know a lot of people are tired of JT. And they have their reasons. But as a Canadian, I have to say that he did a good job addressing this issue. He literally came across as a concerned Canadian citizen that doesn't want this trade war. He truly doesn't. Nobody does. I gotta give props to JT on this one. He may have made some mistakes, but he did a good job addressing these terrible tariffs.

Love that simple statement;” make that make sense”. As an American that is what I have been trying to do since his first presidency. I am truly sorry to all Canadians for this buffoon and his ignorance. I have no reasoning for those that had voted him in to office A SECOND TIME!!!!

I don’t really understand why we placed tariffs on Canada of all places. Maybe because Trudeau is a corrupt pushover? I don’t think that’s a reason to punish all Canadians, you guys have truly been our greatest ally ~and American Infantry Veteran

Canadians are smart enough not to waste our time seeking any reasonable discourse or mutual respect from lying welchers like Donald Jackass Trump. Same reason Zelensky won't waste his time seeking a ceasefire agreement with Vladimir Putin.

The canadian economy and Canadian families' lives have already been damaged by Justin Trudeau himself. So, I don't really know what he is really on. By the way, the reason Sophie left him was because she surprised that woman on the left banging Justin in their bedroom.

Don’t be fooled. Trudeau has tanked the Canadian economy through disastrous mismanagement during his 9 year tenure. Our debt has ballooned, inflation has neutered the Canadian dollar, we are taxed into oblivion, face an unparalleled housing crisis that is linked to foreign money laundering schemes to name a few reasons. If he had not handcuffed our energy sector with pipeline bans and crushing carbon neutral BS. diversified our customer base globally and promoted home grown manufacturing instead, we could deal better absorbing Trump’s ill advised tariff war. JT is the poster child for the globalist agenda (read WEF) and has been convicted of ethics violations in multiple instances. He’s an actor (literally) and virtue signalling fool. His stats regarding the fentanyl problem are laughable considering we inspect less than 1 % of the foreign containers passing through Vancouver. Trump has inadvertently handed JT a lifeline for the Liberals political future and he’s capitalizing on it. Don’t buy the BS. Think about JT’s political record and apply that knowledge going forward.

0:34-0:37 “Canadians are reasonable and polite…”\nThen why am I in Canada for one minute getting yelled at by CBSA…\n\nBro Justin stop lying.\n\nY’all need to stop it, I’d rather live in Japan than Canada…\nAt least they don’t talk about race all day long. Smh

I seem to recall the whole tariff thing started when Donald wanted to even up the 200 billion dollar subsidy to Canada which doesn’t exist, then he chose the immigration and fentanyl crisis that doesn’t exist … can’t wait to hear the next excuse. I would love to hear the real reason for this, and we will one day. I have no doubt that we Canadians will survive this nonsense as we always do.

You're reasonable? Don't place your opinion on all Canadians. They don't agree with your leftist actions. If you were reasonable you wouldn't be placing tariffs on all American products exported to Canada. Now, reciprocal tariffs are fair. Why don't you tell your people the TRUTH

Don’t forget that this prime minister is the actual reason why Canada is so dependent on US, he’s the reason why Canadian oil was sold to US on discount. The reason why most Canadians can’t afford groceries, why rent is unaffordable, so as real estate. He’s the reason why Canadians are underpaid, and why Canada is underdeveloped, compared to the US. He’s the reason why farmers go out of business because of his ridiculous taxes!

Trudeau is a WEF puppet. A tariff war between Canada and the U.S. is ridiculous to begin with, and it will certainly have negative consequences for the U.S., but much more so for Canada. Let's face it, the U.S. internal market is several times that of Canada. Many businesses in Canada exist only because of their trade with the U.S. The same is not true for the U.S. Trudeau can paint whatever picture he wants to Canadians, but the Trump administration is not made of fools and they are very much aware of the reasons they have for having enforced the tariffs.

I served alongside Canadian military when I served in the US military. They were very tough, honorable, and outstanding professionals. I have friends and family from Canada, and they love America. This trade war is so sad and so devastating for so many Americans and Canadians. These tariffs are so stupid, it's beyond reason. Trump is treating America's best friends and allies like enemies! This is not only dishonorable behavior by a US president, it is despicable!

Don’t be fooled, Trudeau has made the opposition in Canada much more popular with his “good talk/ opposite results. The Dems lost for this exact reason in the US America will be strong either way. Canadians are much stronger without Trudeau no matter what they decide to do. I am sure many would agree no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re on.

I L❤ve Canada ?? and Canadians are reasonable intelligent people across the board. Thank you Canada ?? for standing up to Fascism all over the world ?

I wish I could have such an amazing PM in my country Japan where old spinless and dumb sleepy politicians who do nothing for people who are smart, reasonable, hardworking and ethical. Canadians are not aware of it yet, but you are so lucky to have JT. Look at the US, Japan, Russia, China, North Korea, Israel...etc...ugh.

You are the reason we are in this position, don’t blame Trump for your poor leadership, you are a terrible Priminister probably the worst in history just like Biden you need to go , you are a enemy to the Canadian people.

Canadian are reasonable and polite, Trump is evil, rude and coarse. His only gods is Mammon, greed and him self.

American here,in full support of President Trump. Someone needs to be the bad guy and fix the globalist corruption. I personally never listen to or watch CNN. Canada is in a economic and cultural downfall for a reason. I have never supported Castros Bastard son, Trudeau. I love real Canadians and believe Canada would be much better as a US Territory/ State and hope they get rid of this weak little boy.

Trudeau shouldn't be making ANY speeches in his position. He should be packing up and leaving office so we can start to rebuild Canada without him. He's already agreed that he failed the Canadian people and he's the reason the US is putting tariffs on us.

I am Canadian, and this clown speaking is reason for downfall of Canada, financially and socially and most of country wants him out..But yes tariffs on Canada are absolutely ridiculous and will harm both nations..Canada more..and Trump knows this

As a Canadian i havent forgotten what Trudeau done to us. Trump did not ruin our economy Trudeau and his liberal government did. Remember Trudeau stepped down for a reason NO ONE WANTS HIM IN POWER

According to Ritter Ukraine has already signed over rights to rare earth to UK. There was an article in a Czech newspaper talking about this leak. \nIs this why Starmer won't stop. \nWell some analyst believe UK is on the precipice of collapse. I agree.\nI believe the #1 priority of Trump is the US dollar and BRICS competition.\nUS plan to address $34 Trillion debt is to digitize the countries assets. Ex. Anwar, national parks, Infrastructure etc. This is the reason for the new land grab (aka resources grab) . The ones with the resources rule. China has known this for at least 20 years \nThink of the U.S. valuated as a investment ie. look at their balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. \nSimple valuation assets-liabilities=equity\nTaking this type of valuation $34 Trillion debt is peanuts.\nNow apply similar analysis to England.\nNo assets , little industry (aka income) or cash flow. \nI know many want a true multipolar world but I think it will be more spheres of influence dominated by China, US, Russia. The supper powers are positioning for the resources. The world has changed. \nI think the US Democrats will organize to harass Trump and his initiatives in an attempt to take back Congress in the midterms. Their only option. Going to get very nasty. (Harris poll from last weekend Trump favorability 58%)\nNow for Trump's tariffs . They are working already. Several tech companies have announced new factory plans for US. It all relates to Corporate Income taxes. It's about transfer pricing where they pay no Corporate income taxes in US.\nTransfer pricing For example:\nApple iPhone manufacture an iPhone in China for $300. They sell it to an Apple subsidiary call it Apple international located in a low tax or no tax domicile for $300. So No income tax. Say they sell it to Apple USA for $700 . No taxes owed by Apple international . Apple USA sells it in US for $700. Bought it for $700 = no taxes owed. BUT APPLE CLEARED $400 CASH. \nThat's with no tariffs. Now with 20% tariffs on China , the iPhone full import price $700 (sale price). is taxed(tariffs) x 20% = $140. Trump wants 20% corporate rate extended and ultimate 15% corporate rate. Most all the overseas US mfg might come home to moma. \nI would advise Trump to selectively wave tariffs on some items like lumber from Canada and food from mexico. As for oil from Canada I think Trump will let Chevron develop and buy heavy oil from Venezuela. If not might have to wave/reduce tariffs on Canadian diluted bitumen oil.

Let's see, make peace at reasonable cost with a man who's war with Ukraine showed the world that they cannot last in war with US on a military vs military bases; and the only option against the US is a nuclear, while Zelenskyy want's to use US as a deterrent against Putin, all while asking the US for billions. On the other hand, Canada, Mexico and Panama are being over ran by chinese businesses. People think this is against Canadians, Mexicans and Panamanians, but these tariffs are against chinese who are manufacturing in these countries and bypassing tariffs already in place by the US. The chinese are manufacturing in Canada and Mexico and placing (made in Canada/Mexico) and shipping those items to the US, while Canada and Mexico do nothing.

canadians: everyone in canada hates trudea and wants him to do what trump asks because we have to chance of prospering without america on out side and the only way to get them on our side is to comply with the reasonable, mutually beneficial asks of trump

Canadians are not reasonable and not polite and we’ve seen it the last two months. You showed your true character lol.

If Canada was the 51st state economically it would be last after Mississippi. The only reason Canadians aren't eating out of garbage is because America buys its crap like a charity case. America has all it needs.

You know the truth President Trumpet, about Canada as our evidence proving sir that Canada’s Governments hire the international known Biker Criminal Organizations to put the Hit on Canadians whom have evidence against Canada’s very corrupted Criminal politicians of the Liberal Party and Conservatives whom for decades across Canada with their provincial underlings have turned Canada into a a Pro Domestice Organized Criminal state , all biker gangs in Canada and mafia have complete Criminal Immunity by all of Canada’s governments. Trudeau Pollievre are iars along with their provincial counter parts. Trudeau currently the head of his governments criminal syndicate’s. The governments of Canada are guilty of criminal acts against us by very much approving and hiring biker gangs and all their street thugs as well as many members of police and national security supporting these gang institutions with complete criminal immunity. The fact is that All of Canada’s allies that have embassies in Ottawa have protected Canada’s clear defined terrorist acts against my wife and I for almost 20 years one government after the other. The Trudeau Government has cut trade deals with other member states that include these nations forced to as part of the Trudeau liberal conservative agenda in trade agreements with out this being written with in those trade agreements that member states must adhere to a collective part of trade agreements that no nation in such agreements is allowed to present any criminal evidence against the governments of Canada by Canadian citizens . Factum. The Trudeau government and their entire Parliament of opposition are so frightened of our 20 years of evidence that they have closed off all my videos on YouTube to the public both with in Canada and outside Canada. The world cannot become all gangster states and gangster statemen for this will destroy the nations. Canada’s prime ministers have lied and lied and lied they do not at all deal with internal domestic criminal gang terrorism they secretly endorce all of it. Many American peoples suffer from the governments of Canada’s secret criminal gang Drug Trade. Trudeau for example decided to legalise cannabis a industry run by all the criminal organizations in Canada prior to legalisation making hundreds of millions of pot laundering drug money, Trudeau decides he wants a cut of the pot trade so he legalises all the criminal organizations running illegal grow operations now licenced to legally operate across Canada and sell pot legally to Canadians paying revenue Canada tens of millions in taxes the same organizations are now licienced by Trudeau to grow operations these same groups also are involved in international illegal drug activity in with South American Cartels and Mexican Cartels. Trump must come clean with God and take action against Canada 75 percent sanctions must employed. The reason why Canada refuses to join the U.S as a 51’s state is because we would then fall under the U.S Justice System and then the U.S would be shocked to see that Canada is a criminal state.

Maybe you could start with having the Pope apologize to us Canadians about the lies you, Mr. Trudeau told about Natives being buried and killed by teachers in Canada and you blamed us. Where is our apology first. A reasonable Canadian asks.
