As an Italian American living in New York, with Italian French-Canadian cousins living in Quebec, its really upsetting to see our relationship with our closest allies fall apart due to the greed and stupidity of only a hand full of people – if you can even call them that.

These are incredible and true words. Simply said with intelligence. A truly remarkable leader, sorry that you will lose him Canada. I support you and Ukraine. From New Zealand ??

America will bring production and jobs back to America. There will be a bit of a sting getting underway but this is all for the better for America in the long run. American Made. Big companies are already moving in to manufacture in America to avoid Tariffs. It’s a new day. This is all to be an expected reaction from all.

i stand with USA, and trumps new administration.

America needs a NEW LEADER. Not a 3rd term from a clown

What about the NEW CANADIAN COMING IN TO TAKE YOUR PLACE ABOUT CARBON TAX?????

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

Canada is the new leader of the free world.

The whole New World Order thing seems to becoming reality. Trump is aligning with Russia and enemy countries while simultaneously sabotaging ours. They want to take over the world. It’s scary.

Any State want to switch sides? we will accept you as new a province! :D

USA is the new North Korea. At least some citizens can fight back and STILL have their voices heard.

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

Myself a humble, quiet, soft spoken overly apologetic Canadian from Alberta will explain to the Orange clown loving Americans what just happened. (just in case the sudden politeness/professionalism was a cerebral barrier) ..My boss gave your boss the middle finger and had a talkie talk to him like you would a child or someone with severe mental disabilities... and, btw.... Canada welcomes Maine, Washington state and Oregon as our new provinces if they want or need to defect. No questions or security check involved.. all good ..we get it! come on up! Free Tim Horton's coffee on me!!

I am a retired Dairy farmer who grew up in New York State and now lives in Florida.This is who I am. I don't know who's to blame the most. Benedict Trump is a traitorous President or all the voters who voted for him. Truly, what was the attraction? Now look at this mess. I can and do apologize to Canada, but I am just one person. P.S. I didn't vote for that Ass H_le.

The new global bully, the USA making demands of other countries all over the planet. What is the US offering in return - Nothing. Only Chaos.

USA is planning to take territories that have rare earth minerals (to compensate for the Chinese blockade of such minerals), or other strategic resources. This includes Canada (minerals, oil), Greenland (geographic security), Panama (logistic security), and Ukraine (minerals).\n\nUSA is also using rhetoric to pave the way for a war on Europe, so that USA and Russia can divide Europe between them. The words being used are that Europe is no longer democratic or secure (Vance) or that Europe is generally a bad place in a bad situation (Trump).\n\nEurope would do well to create their own military, and reduce their dependencies on USA as well as Russia. Europe would do well to seek other allies and new alliances, and to prepare for war.

As someone in the UK and a European its very sad and heart breaking that this is happening, can Americans see what is going on? The New World and the Old World is falling apart.

How much have you increased inspecting foreign cargo to check for illegal substances?\nThere are still migrants flying into Canada and walking across the border being picked up by the bus load transporting them to sanctuary cities like New York. What are you doing to prevent migrants use your country as a stopping point to walk into the US?\nYou need to do more. Look what Mexico has done.

Canada the new America?

You need to get rid of these f****** biased new stations I'm so sick and tired listen to sing to them give me ideas happening just tell me what is happening I don't need a panel I don't need a former I just need them to give us the goddamn image truth the news not a story always trying to go for fearmongering tactics

American here. We don’t want this either. Thank you for standing up against the tyranny which is our new government!

Is the play that all of the Uber rich are going to buy everything in the market and then trump will lift the tariffs and the super rich including Donald all make even more money. \nAdditionally, if all the farmers lose their land, the new American oligarchs will just buy up the land.

We do not respect this new communist party. The American people are with Canada and Mexico and go after that idiot he is the most unfit man for any office except in a nursing home where he belongs. Lori

Well said from a New Zealander! I support Canada ?? ❤️.

ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON THE NEW WORLD ? ORDER & ITS A WORLD ? STAGE OF DECEPTIONS \nONLY JESUS CAN BE TRUSTED!

So proud of Justin Trudeau today. He is a decent man and leader, speaking the truth. I wish for the American people the same, a good leader to come, someone new. What is happening right now in the States is horrible and dangerous. No words.

My response to the USA people: We will give you access to the Arctic, we will work together, we will sign new deals for the minerals and electricity that you need, we can work together to do all these things and beyond.\n\nWe will defend the continent together, we've always been your friends. Just ask what you need, and we will politely agree. Always been that way... why the sudden change? Just leave our economy and sovereignty alone. What is this?? Why are we even having that conversation today ? Your 80-year old president wants to destroy the World, the same world we all lived in for generations, for what? He won't even be alive in the next 5-10 years. Was your President offered good money and other people are running the show? Seems likely to me.\n\nI have no words honestly.

Canada you are a great democratic country with a vibrant culture with a great economy, you do not deserve to be treated the way you are by the dictator Trump & his Republicans, that is what disrespect is…Trump needs to apologise to Canada & it’s people. The USA is now becoming a world menace, I hope all the nations of the world take notice of Trump’s arrogance & egoism which will start new conflicts & wars soon.\nGood luck to my Canadian friends, with lots of love & respect from Türkiye. ❣️?????❣️

NICE!! hes finally showing that he hag a set of balls, I think I have a whole new respect for you Justin !! LOVE YOU CANADA !!! LETS KEEP UP THE UNITY< WERE AWESOME !!!

WE know it's our government. Our country needs new government! Heeellllppp!!!

Nice work Trudeau! Stand up to Donald duck & the Goofys & their silly new demands!

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced more restrictions and tariffs. Example: 25 per cent export tax would apply to electricity that Ontario sends to 1.5 million homes and businesses in New York, Michigan and Minnesota.

Oh Canada ??, strong and free, our country is already great and the best in the world. Hopefully, the USA will be great again someday but I think they need a new leader ,just saying.

I'm british and was giving trump the benefit of the doubt but then he picked on Canada(we have the same head of state) and today his vice president started bitching about the british military, seems he forgot about the over 630 troops that came back in body bags after Britain stood right next to the usa after the new york attack. I'm feeling a bit low even though he's not targeting us. Allies should stick together

America = Canada = UK = Autralia = New Zealand\n\nThey should all become one country, I see no difference between them fr..

What Trump is doing is just absolutely crazy but the American people voted for him so unfortunately everyone will have to live with the stupidity that is the new America.

Swedish immigrant living in Usa and I am so scared of this new Administration Trump is not with the American people he is with Putin. Usa need help removing Trump and Vance and the Maga Loyalist

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.

Canada should join the eu. They would have more offer of immigrants and new markets!

People have been dogging on Trudeau till he will finally be out of office and we will be starting new with someone who doesn't have the same experience. How did that work for you?

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

Justin are you forgetting that you are very close to America it would be very easy for you to become new North America

Canada you should have done a deal with UK, Australia and New Zealand and today you won’t be in this position. Why did you trust one country so much.

China has imposed retaliatory tariffs on US agricultural products , aussie farmers would like to thank donnie youve just opened up new markets for us ????

Trump will not care about the rest of the world because he has a new BOSS and it is PUTIN

Now might be a good time to either upturn the system, or admit that this is no longer the country we can abide, and leave. Either way, it is evident that there is now a New World Order, lead by corporations and the lobbyists that fight for them. The kindest thing to say is that we are an Idiocracy; the truth might be that we've become the evil we pretend to fight. Good luck out there, folks.

I think i know a New leader of free world...

As someone from the Netherlands, I wish our former prime minister and current NATO leader Rutte responded in a similar way to Trudeau. He was always a true politicians' politician, but the way he stood with the US right after the horrible treatment of Zelensky was a new low. If the majority of US allies responded in a firm manner the way Trudeau just did, it might be enough to scare some Republicans into doing the right thing.
