You need to leave. You took away our freedom of speech and expression. CNN is a big lie. People in Canada didn’t forget what and how bad you treated us. Now you are playing trump card . You made Canadians poor . All you do is lie. Trump is working hard for his citizens and what about you.? Just get out and let’s have a better leader. I can’t believe I voted for you.

If you are Canadian, you should work hard to get South African Elon *'apartheid'* Musk's Canadian citizenship revoked. \n\nHis crimes:\nHe is actively working against Canada's national interests as well as being part of a foreign government (USA) that is trying to wipe out Canada's sovereignty .\nAnd \n*Keep boycotting X and Tesla*\n\n.

Today I am a senior living in Beautiful Vancouver Canada ?? \nI am fortunate to be here because my Uncle as a young man \nGrowing up in Belfast paid a fee of 10dollars to qualify \nFor Passage to Toronto . He started work as a Navy on the railway\nHe told the story of standing on the pavement at Bloor street watching \nThe building of The Royal York getting built \nHe promised himself one day He would have a steak dinner there\nWhich was very ambitious .\nHe worked long and hard til his retirement at age 60yrs\nHe kept his promise not only to have a steak dinner there\nBut he became wealthy and was a Patron until he died in 1982\nHis encouragement for myself my two brothers with our families \nalso our widow mother\nTo come to Canada proclaiming to his dying day\n*Canada to be The Best Country in The ? World\nWhat a privilege to live in this wonderful democratic Land \nSo proud of our President Justin Trudeau \nMary Canada ??

Those who voted for the orange goblin will also pay the price. What u thought the orange goblin gave a fuck about your vote lol. How fucking stupid of u. Hard to believe it's just getting started. All of us are going to pay more.

I am Canadian and I am glad Trudeau is actually hard on fentanyl. Surprise. If so, I would like to know if Trudeau, and his successor whoever that may be, and the Liberals of course, will be just as hard if not harder on fentanyl dealers, users, and criminals. Start by talking to British Columbia, currently ruled by the New Democratic Party (NDP), and getting them to change their soft on drugs and crimes approaches. I await to be impressed by Trudeau, his successor, and the Liberals.

I get all the commentary lifting Trudeau up but when i heard that he is like on his last couple of days of his term i couldn't help but feel that noone so far anyways has come out and let lose with the hard hitting, proper Grammer and clean nice language be dammed, no not anyone to speak to this wannabe hard guy which this guy absolutely is not - trust me , and i get it he is 80 years old, but if you watch him in his 60s and 50's and going back to his youth he never could bust a grape; just all bluster , daddy's money, and when it came time to pay some rent .. he'd pay someone else to do it. A coward thru and thru.

Trudeau thinks Canada can survive a trade war? ???. Canada doesn't have anything that the US can't get for itself. Unless they want to start selling snow to the southern states. We help them by buying their crap. We dont need it like Canada needs us. We subsidize their economy in more ways than one. And Trudeau is willing to learn that the hard way it looks like.\n\nOh well, Gues Canada Wont have much of a choice but to become the 51st state

WWCDD? I just hope we all remember the hard times we have had to go through together, the exploitation of white males going blackface will never be overlooked. Justin we stand with you (as an American), I am willing to overlook your blackface picture. Yes, you have made some horrible decisions but that doesn't mean we are not with you! We will get through this together!!!!!

Ok, to be honest, this is exactly what the other side want, reactions/panic. Trump loves it...but be honest... he is a buissnessman(!), don´t ever forget that!! My heart struggel so hard with this one... How? Why? When/Ever?\n\nTo Canadian Prime minister: I hear you and will make a change as a born child 1976, Euorpean. US was the ONE-country to discover as a young fellow! I will for now on also hearing Canadian news and other countries like Australia, France, Great Britain, South Africa, Japan, etc. Democracy <3 \n\nUS we hear you still but this is NOT ok!!! It would be to go against our absolut nearest neighbour hood! Our most trusted!! We love them!!! How can you??!! We would never do that!! Our countries are united and will stand together, beside what one person or government says, that is democracy!!! Stand up US people!!! \nWe are united, we are one! Don´t let his words get you, ever!

And just for the record, I was hoping to get a few hours of paid work at the liquor store and now this just might be a game changer you know? So hard to get a job in this country… I suppose it depends on what kind of species of canine you are… Last time I was a bulldog I got flipped after six months of work. Sucks balls.

Well said, Mr. Prime Minister. Go Canada--hopefully see you on the other side of this, when we get rid of this clown show. Pardon our dust...some of our slower citizens have to learn things the hard way.

“MAKE THAT MAKE SENCE”\nDon’t be hypnotize by this guy, he has been been bad for Canada for the last 10 years, don’t listen to his bs, he is censoring the population, destroying the country following wef agenda and making our lives worse!\nIt will be hard for us Canadians the tariffs, but if it is what it takes to get rid of the liberal party!\nLet it be!

Trump don't care about nobody but himself things are about to get hard in the United States That's for sure if you ain't got a million dollars you're screwed

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

I GUESS albertans GET 2X PAY NOW and 2x JOBS back !!!! GIVE ME MY JOB BACK. Albertan born 1st NOT migrants. We cant sacrifice albertans for outsiders. ? sorry. But truth to power is hard to digest. ?

U.S. here....first, I and most Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine. Second, yes tRUMP made a dumb mistake. But everyone must realize that he really isn't very smart. His own cabinet members from his first term have said so. He doesn't understand things and he doesn't read. I feel pretty sure that his daddy paid for him to get into business school and paid for his degree, just as he paid a doctor to say he had bone spurs. He just isn't very bright. I think his business failings show the same thing. Whatever Canada and Mexico feel they have to do to stand up to this dictator wanna-be, so be it. I hope the MAGAt supporters here get a hard wake up call....I can't have sympathy for them.

Me again. I too have something to say to the Americans who are struggling. Let me ask you all something. What does a country really need to keep it going? The answer is people. With no people working to keep a country going. Then you can't really call your country a country. Let me sadly tell you this ladies and gentlemen. The America you loved and worked hard to sustain, is gone, gone and replaced by your president and his followers. America is now Trump's America. He has change everything that made your America free, peaceful and safe. And when or not you get it back. All of you need to make a decision. If you feel like your safety, life and wellness of your family is in real danger. Then if you can get out of America. Go to a country that you believe will help you and keep you and your family safe and well. Always put your families safety and health first. But if you Don't have the money or a car go leave? Then let me say. Keep fighting and don't stop fighting until this low life criminal and traitor is removed from power. I am praying for all of you who are struggling. Don't give in and don't give up.❤

All this because Poutine as something on Trump that he wants to make sure it never gets out. Not hard to imagine what. They always use projection against their ennemies. So just think what kind of accusation they are always making.

I love you Justin! I wish you would rerun! You hardly had a chance to get your foot stuck in. ❤

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??

Great speech from Trudeau, he is on his way out as prime minister and has been unpopular but no doubt he has had his finest moments lately. I wish Canada and a number of US states and sane US citizens could form their own nation or even a union at least. We'd be better off, anything is better than now. Americans will get hit hard by this too, so dumb. Trump is a fascist and brainwashed a cult called MAGA.

Get'em Trudeau! As an American I am appalled and pissed at the sh*tshow that is the current administration. And the last few in the last few decades. My country has always been a bully and we have fought hard to try and evolve, but obviously the level of education our society has has gotten worse and worse because we allowed ourselves to be ruled by capitalism and the wealthy elite instead of democracy and unity and understanding.

If all the Nations Trump is insulting These weeks get rid of American Social Media and Software that would be very Hard on Both sides but a nail in the coffin for the US

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

MAN..,, you’re living in a fantasy world if you truly believe everything you said, and apparently no one you know is affected by the atrocities done not to mention national security, which protects us against all enemies! The veterans who fought for us! The seniors who worked hard for their Social Security! And the aid not only for foreign but for all Americans! Do you want Ebola to get here from Uganda? And what they’re doing to our children education and necessary, medical aid, and

Only 4 hours have passed and this aged like milk. Zalensky on his way back to make the mineral deal and sue for peace with Putin. Sorry to the war mongering bloodthirsty hethens out there that we're getting hard thinking about World War 3. The world is choosing peace, and its thanks the Donald Trump.

Ohio has SO many Canadian products and gas stations. It's going to get VERY hard, very quickly. Hang in there Canada. The majority of America stands with you❤

Donny F'd around with tariffs against Canada,now,he's getting ready to find out,the hard way.

I'm happy that Canada show some backbone back ! Trump is a bully and prays on the weak ! You must be hard to not get targeted

From Texas to you ❤️❤️ we do not stand behind Trump. A lot of us did not vote or care for Trump. Gosh I just got my passport, we were planning to visit Canada ❤️❤️ and I don’t blame you for hating us. ?Stand strong Canada most Americans stand with you. I truly believe Trump is doing all this to strengthen his greediest he doing this to line his money pockets with middle Americans Musk will help him become one of the richest men in the world and he will get there on the backs of middle class hard working Americans. He isn’t trying to help Americans he is helping himself and all his rich buddy’s I refer to them all as roaches.

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

I wish I could live in Canada I'm sure it's really hard to get citizenship now

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

I am an American and I stand for America!!! Time for American politicians that we vote into office to take care of America and not get sucked into taking care of our countries around the world with American citizens hard earned tax money, NO MORE - MAGA (MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rational American people are with you. The people who understand how real government works. Not made up lies that get repeated over and over again in hopes that people will fall for it. Hard to believe that half the American people actually fell for the scam that has befallen America. Pray for us.

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

So, a country that had a 2024 60 billion budget deficit, depends on the US for trade is going to act tough? OK. Zelensky just learned what FAFO means the hard way. Now he is begging ... Trudeau and Canada will end up begging and getting humiliated again.

I stand with Canada . What the orange ghoul and muskrat are doing to this country is unforgivable. As a cadaian born , but have to live here because of Air Force father wa WWII . We are retired now and husband is a veteran, it’s already hard for us, now it will get worse.. God Canada must think they are living above a meth lab thanks to that thing in the White House. ??

As Americans we pray for us and our fellow partners in different countries. \nOur brothers and sisters whoever you are we are praying for you as we are bringing ourselves we will get through this we are fighters with God's help and a Virgin Mary nothing will stop us and we show compassion, understanding and it will be hard we will try our best. ❤❤

Watch this closely. This is the sound of prudent, rational leadership. This was once the sound of our nation's leadership. Now, we have the voice of a petulant man-child driven by either selfish ego and personal financial goals, or sheer ignorance, working hard to tear apart our government and democratic society. To our congress: GET OFF OF YOUR KNEES! If you won't stand together then stand alone. BUT DO STAND UP AGAINST THIS THREAT TO OUR NATION. Fear is a reflex... cowardice is a choice!

You better have someone keeping on him and Elon because when things get bad they are going to try and go across the ocean with the millions they are going to steal from the hard working people

wtf is Fentanol? -- no, it's no related Tylenol --- is it that hard to get right?...Fentanyl -- Fen tin il -- repeat

Hey Canada….. put the hammer down as hard as you can. We’ve got to get rid of this guy. Don’t worry about us will be fine. Once the Orange boy is gone, we’ll have a big barbecue to celebrate.

Listen to the details people.... We get energy, building materials and fertilizer from Canada.. he forgot to mention cars. Nothing we can't do ourselves. We are fully energy independent... We do not need to import. Prices will drop. Cars... Trump is bringing back manufacturing... Prices will drop. Fertilizer... I mean shit and rotten food is not hard to get. Building material... We send them more than they send us. \n\nYou cannot just run on emotion. Thats what he is stirring in you. Look at the way he twist things. Is he directly lying... No... But he is cherry picking details. Canada gets a lot more from us than we do them and what we get from them is rapidly decreasing and he is in panic mode.

This is total Anti US propoganda ! This man is about as sinister as they come, and in bed with billionaire led WEF ! He clearly displayed that in his lock step response to covid and how he treated his citizens ( like caged animals)! This leader is a socialist and has nothing to offer Americans but to leech our tax dollars & use our military defenses for protection without contributing their fare share to support it! We have been the sugar daddy to so many nations with only the consequence of our tax dollars not improving our nation, but every other that we are used by! I’m not a maga but, but this president is using leverage the US still has ( although we’ve suffered greatly under the Biden Admin ). President Trump is trying to balance our budget by smart and fair trade, that puts this country’s legal citizens first! Fair trade hasn’t existed for many years, and while there may be increases felt by these tarrifs, our hope is that long term we manufacture more excellent goods here & use more of our own natural resources! Those commenting about what we are doing to Ukraine need to get their heads out if the sand…the Ukrainian people don’t want Zelinski but cannot get rid of him! He has taken hundreds of billions of dollars from the US and has no plan for peace in his nation…Pres Trump says enough is enough, and he is trying to not only end the war, but recoup massive amounts of money we wrongly gave through a deal for natural resources. Sounds like a plan that’s good for everyone involved, and that’s how you make deals! We cannot give whst we do not have & with our debt , we cannot afford to keep printing money, devaluing the dollar, and giving it away at the expense of hard working N Americans!

Come on Canada get a real man in there. I can’t hardly listen to this clown.

I’m sooo tired of foreign leaders say Trump is aligning with Putin! He never said that! Americans know he is trying to help make peace between Ukraine and Russia to end a war which is also in Canada and the rest of the world’s best interests! I hate the deceptive media! Canada, we are in debt up to our eyeballs and won’t be able to remain a nation without hard monetary choices but to say Trump aliegns with Putin is a cheap shot to get away with what you do now.

God Bless our beautiful Country Canada ?? ? Canada is NOT for sale. This is what he wants and will NEVER get. The lies, greed, arrogance and trying to build an empire will backfire. Sad, the hard working and vulnerable Americans will feel the PAIN....NOT the rich and privileged.

man, just living to survive is hard enough for many people even for min wage earners and now this. The point? I think its ego from trump. Dont get me wrong I actually support some of trump policies but this is spiraling out of control. Ukraine, Allies turned enemies wtf.
