Common Trump!Let’s do Russian & US & Chinese alliance! Let's go to these Europeans, they're free-eaters and don't represent themselves anymore?

Better start growing some crops justin gets cold in the winter. Me in California will have all the groceries i need. Im not a lazy soft snowfake..i water a garden. I raise animals. I dont let canadians or snowflake liberals tell me im going to starve

Trump always takes an ‘extreme’ position first when he negotiates. Here we go again and hey presto he’s got his way again! Canada should suspend border checks and threaten to let everything through to the US

as a candian i know its gonna hurt but elbows up turmp wants to go lets go

And if Justin thinks hes going to pit himself against russia let him try it out

I don’t agree with Trump but I’m trying to understand this….So he (Trudeau) punishes his own nation with carbon tariffs then tells his nation how tough it’s gonna be now that a foreign president applies tariffs…I’m sorry I just don’t get it…instead of starting a fight that will hurt us even more, why don’t he just let go of the carbon tax to help the suffering…\nIs he actually care or is it just politics ?

Trudeau was right when he said it was dumb. The US tariffs are simply about bringing America to its knees and destroying America. That is why the country is being recklessly run. The idea is to destroy the American way of life and America. Have you seen a 3rd world country run. The fighting and the division in the 3rd world country? The events over the past weeks are not about efficiency. 1 worker doing 15 people's jobs. Who is running the government? Tariffs are one more thing to destroy America. US government federal workers all let go, paying government employees pennies on the dollars and lying to the American public about efficiency, farmers and textile workers that voted are stranded without jobs, social security being destroyed, programs being destroyed, Americans being lied to, Americans being taken advantage of due to poor knowledge and education, education being taken away and putting un-elected immigrants/foreigners to run/destroy America. Yes, the Tariffs are one more thing to put Americans in the street, turn off their electricity, take away their heating system, and make America into a poor 3rd world country. Trudeau and Canada are protecting its workers - federal and private and yes, all of Canada. Canada is United. Americans better find Unity like the Canadians are doing versus worrying about who voted Red or Blue.

Lets go Canada?

This is coming from someone that let Vancouver go to shit.

Trudeau isn't what Rogan says he is. I'm a Canadian with morals and empathy. I was formerly a centrist, possibly right leaning. That has all changed now. \n\nWe have the same far right agenda working to assault Canadian values up north. Americans are being subjected to a fairytale 'mandate' that was swindled with lies and deceit, Trumps 2 favorite tacts.\n\nI'm 40 now. Pretty brushed up on history. I can't fathom why any reasonable person thinks podcasters or real estate agents can govern. \n\nIn the past, swineherds could become Generals, yes. BUT There has to be levels of experience in Governance to handle the responsibility of having lives in ones hand. \n\nDemocracy is the only way, lets not go backwards. FUCK TRUMP, FUCK ELON.

From the middle east : the US launched a war against Iraq for absolutely no reason at all (except to steal its oil) and it proceeded to lie and conjure up fantasy after fantasy of wmds. Now, the US has turned on its allies, since it sucked the literal life out of us. Good. Let's see how the US is going to start calling Canadians terrorists in a few years. I'll get my popcorn.

Canada you are going down! Lets go USA!!

Trumps hitting Canada with tariffs because Melania was going Gaga over Trudeau. What a spiteful disgusting excuse for a human being let alone president. Him and his best girlfriend eyeliner Vance.

Trudeau. On CNN giving a speech because no one in Canada cares to listen to him anymore. \nTrudeau, giving a masterclass in pompous posing and self importance in front of the cameras. \nTrudeau, a Zero's Hero! \nTrudeau, the 3 time blackface wearing semi-whiteboy champion of Multiculturism. \nTrudeau- Defender of Woman's rights!!- until you disagree and he throws you under the bus. Trudeau, a man's man! A ham's ham!! He is Justin Trudeau! \nTrudeau is the kind of guy that wakes up the entire family to let them know he's going to bed...

Let’s go Trump! we ain’t scared hard-working American here!!

American here. There are many of us completely disgusted with our government and we are taking to the streets. Our friendship is vital! And don’t let them fool you. They don’t give a shit about Fentynl. It’s just a talking point AKA excuse to act like dicks. We are sorry. Not sure how we are going to get through this.

Blah Blah Blah, you arrested truck drivers and seized their bank accounts because they didn't want the jab. Let's see how long Canada makes it without America. ???? Good luck, Canada. You're going to need it!

TWENTY F(VE PERCENT LETS GO CANADA

As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

As a us citizen lets go bitch we will see whos economy can bully who lmfao - canada has a smaller population than Californian and we have companies richer than your entire country, you are going to lose if you dont fall in line.

People from the USA will pay the price for all this but Trump doesn't care because he considers them as slaves to him and his rich friends. As for Vance and his comment about war... Hey Vancy boy...wnaan talk about war? Really? USA got his arse kicked in Vietnam, Modagishu, Irak and Afghanistan. The only war they had some success with was against the weak Germans during WWII and they would have never been able to do it without the Russians. And let's not forget that they almost got defeated a few days after D-Day. This, because of..... bogs! So get here Vancy boy and you'll see what Canadians are capable of. Besides that, you need us more than we need you and you automobile's economy (among many others) is going to crash just because of you and Trump. No more electricity for you, no no more gas, no more oil, no more lumber, no more aluminum, no more alcohol sales and the worst part...no more maple syrup! Besides that, almost everything sold by the USA is coming from China, so why bother buying from the USA when we can buy the same for cheaper?

Are we really going to let this guy lead our country for another 4 years? It’s only been a month. What’s going to be left?!? I guess we’ll be comrades with the Russian.

What is going on in this country? Are we going to let Trump destroy America and its allies? This is insane!

Oh My Goodness! What going on with our Democracy!! We can't let our Nation go down the Toilet!!

Let's just go with no plan PP?????

Let’s go to a 90 year old general. What does this all meen. WTF. There taking Americans money. The tariff American goods. Period . It high school math. Hence. Canada’s goods are cheaper. People buy Canadian goods more. Get grandpa out of here. Push his wheel chair out. It’s high school. Common sense. We slapped the same tariffs on them . That’s it

Trump knows what is going on. Trump is beholden to Putin because Putin has a secret on Trump and Trump is going to do everything Putin says do. He will jump, run, kiss N. Korea's ass. Trump is going to do everything Putin says do to make sure Putin keeps Trump’s secret secret. Trump must have done something over in Russia and Putin got him on video tape. It must be a doozie, something that Trump shouldn't have been doing, and Putin's got Trump by the balls. Trump is going to jump, lie, cheat, and do tariffs (as a smokescreen) for his treachery with Putin. This is why he said we won't have to ever vote again. He's planning to pull a 'Hitler-move'! Trump and Musk are weakening America. Trump, Vance and Musk are working to make all our allies our enemies to help Putin and N. Korea be able to take over America, then Trump thinks they'll let him be our King. He's so stupid. Putin and N. Korea are crazy but they will not let Trump be King. They want America for themselves. Wake up America! Trump is selling out America! He's trying to put us into WW III, and make sure we do not have any allies, and if you don't see the writing on the wall, y'all need to go back to school. Pay attention to history. Poor, dumb-ass Republicans. They're being used.

Trump is standing on business! ? no more free handouts. He’s putting America first ? ? ?. The adults are back in charge. We sat back and let the clowns play for 4 years. Your experiment is over now. Democrats nearly destroyed our country. We will save it for you. You'll enjoy the win in spite of your whining and delusions. You're welcome. Now, go color or something. Daddy has work to do.

Well we tried Let it all go through the borders now lol

Didn't he resign? Thanks for the great speech but let's get going with an election so we can get someone capable to deal with this....

Damn, let’s go Canada. ??❤

F that POS! Time for the USA to level the playing field in trade. Lets go!

Donald is going to let Vladimir dog walk him into World War 3. My God we need your help. ??

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

MR PM if this is going to be tough and we will all pull together to overcome this, kindly stop raping our income with exorbitant taxes. Tell your provincial PMs to back off and help families. Let those who earn money to support their families and well being, KEEP most of their money. Don't claim it to serve bureaucratic procedures and policies that are inefficient and don't benefit Canadians.

I think it is time to use all the unused land to grow our vegetation and any thing else that gets planted to use for the Canadian. We do have the brain and the finances to grow our own fruit even if it takes a couple of years for the plants to produce the vegetation to supply the need. We need to manufacture our own goods. It is only one simple issue we will face but it is one we can handle! Oil, gas, car parts and cars...do it here and get some of the unemployed individuals Living on Provincial Checks off their butts and put them to work. (any that can at all} It might just surprise people at how many would have a reason to get up in the morning and the self confidence they need to get rid of the very thing Trump said was killing US people and stop it from coming in from the US! If we are going to tell it lets tell the truth!.

Let us go sideways. Find other trading partners. We do not need trump. A totally clown. Lets go to the uk or China. Then no hurt to us

As a European I must agree with Wesley Clark. Things have changed a lot since he took office. Most people here sees the US more as an enemy than an allied now! Let that sink in MAGA people if you can... He has made everything upside down. Supporting Russia WTF? We knew he was insane, but this is getting way out of hand! \nThis is not going to make america great again (what utter BS). Instead every history book in the future will talk about the time when the US went mad and lost its way, losing all credibility and trust it ever gained.

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.

This is what an actual leader sounds like and behaves. And I as a US citizen stand by this man, his words and his country's response to our hot mess of a government. We're going to suffer, but at this point I think we deserve every bit of it because our willful ignorance has thrown the entire planet into a tailspin of disaster. My genuine hope is that every single other democratic country turn its back on us immediately. Let the empire fall once and for all.

Im from Philippines living in Canada! GO CANADA! Im so proud I leave here at this dark times. Let’s do this together! Oh Canada we love this nation ! ❤️??

Trump has placed himself in a corner. He's completely incompetent. Because he is a bully and thinks people will roll over, he is going to look weak when he has to roll them back. When Canada cuts off the water, car parts, etc. and people start losing jobs such as car manufacturing, there will be a price to pay. It won't be an end to MAGA, but if he lets this go on for too long, he will never come back from it.

Oh you didn't near the news...humanity is having a clearance sale, everything must go , including our sense.? LET'S GO!

Hmmmm.... If this isn't going to hurt Canada at all and only hurt the US (ie helping Canada) then why is Trudeau so upset? I think I'm gonna let this one ride out and see how things play out. Trump is a brilliant businessman as is Musk and they understand economics like no other. I am thinking there is more to this than what Trudea is saying.

And a majority of white America voted against themselves because of racism, white fear and the hole they dug for people of color and immigrants they dug for themselves. All of them knew what he was going to do and it fine as long as it didn't impact them. Democrats and Independents will not fix the racist problem. We will take a back seat and let Republicans and MAGA fix the problem they created with evil intent or will they let the USA burn to the ground?

Trump and Musk are TRAITORS! Arrest them and deport them to Russia as they are so keen on supporting criminal Putin. Let them go live with him. See how they like that

You Go Trudeau! Please let me move to CANADA…\nI don’t want to live in USA any more with these CRAZY people that are running our country for the next four years cry? please help me …….

What a strong, fact based response. Never been more proud of Trudeau. Trump has chosen to start a trade war that is going to hurt Americans the most. Let's join hands to support local businesses by buying local when possible, even when it hurts the pocket. Standing strong with Canada ?? . We will come out strong ???

Ahhh screw you. We dont care and we are willing to pay for it. Lets see who is going down first

In Canada asked this man to resign? He's the best representative of that country my friends from Canada you should reconsider letting this man go is way more articulate than our moron in Chief our orange headed prize
