Canada is very lucky to have true leader in PM Trudeau …I’m embarrassed by how Trump is acting. Canada please forgive us as this is not the American way.

I'm so frustrated, Trump said he wants CANADA to be the fifty first state so we can have all those precious minerals . He said it on tv

This guy going to ruin canada economically .....

Canada doesnt have much production at home. they will be getting goods from Europe now and other countries paying on the top more then 40% just for logistical purposes . Canadians... everything will come from your own pocket. Think about it.

Way to go Canada ??. I don't think the U.S. needs to worry about immigration but Canada - you might need to build a wall for the mass exodus from states.

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

From Portugal, go Canada!

This will hurt Americans more than it will hurt Canadians because they have allies. And Canada still on the British rule in somewhat.

*Canada's Response to US Tariffs: A Measured Approach*\n\n*Executive Summary*\n\nIn response to the 25% tariffs imposed by the US on Canadian goods, Canada has announced a robust countermeasure. Effective immediately, Canada will impose 25% tariffs on $20.7 billion worth of imported goods from the US. This initial phase is part of a larger plan to impose tariffs on up to $155 billion worth of US goods, should the current tariffs remain in place.\n\n*Key Highlights*\n\n- *Tariffs on $20.7 Billion Worth of US Goods*: Canada's initial response includes tariffs on various products, such as:\n - Food and beverages: orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee\n - Consumer goods: appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics\n - Industrial products: pulp and paper products\n- *Additional Tariffs on $155 Billion Worth of US Goods*: If the current tariffs remain in place, Canada plans to impose additional tariffs on products, including:\n - Electric vehicles\n - Fruits and vegetables\n - Beef, pork, dairy\n - Electronics\n - Steel, aluminum\n - Trucks, buses\n- *Non-Tariff Options*: Canada is exploring non-tariff options, including export restrictions and investment measures.\n- *Remission Process*: A remission process has been established to consider requests for exceptional relief from the tariffs.\n\n*Rationale*\n\nCanada's response is a direct result of President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, citing concerns over fentanyl trafficking and trade agreements. However, Canada has argued that the tariffs are unjustified and will have devastating consequences for both American and Canadian economies.\n\n*Conclusion*\n\nCanada's response to the US tariffs is a measured and targeted approach, aimed at protecting Canadian interests and jobs while also encouraging the US to reconsider its decision ¹ ² ³.

Why does Canada get a reasonable, articulate and TRUTH-telling Prime Minister when we are stuck with and disgraced by a delusional buffoon? God help American; our President certainly is helping America or Americans.

Unfortunately he is lying as per usual. The fent is coming from china into Canada though our east coast and then down across the boarder. The fact is it’s twice as expense right over the border from Canada. Wonder why that is? Maybe it’s because it’s another border that had to be crossed.

Canada will be on her knees in a month and you will become our 51 first state

Sending love to Canada from Western Australia

The world is on Canada's side

Only person threatening canada is trudeau

No open boarders Canada!

I may not have voted for Justin Trudeau. But I respect him for not bowing to the orange man and standing up for Canada the true north strong and free. We will get through this the world is with us ??

He caused all this mess. Little dictator tariffs his own people for his own gain. Look up SDTC scandal. Most crooked liar in the history of Canada. Total loser buddy needs to realize his time is over

Good Go Canada???? thank you for taking a Stand against the Prez Clown Con's!

Keep in mind Canada, we the people love you. It is Trump and his associates that are being traitors to the United States.

Make America Southern Canada!!

P I thought Canada got rid of that child molesting dictator

USA has been carrying Canada for too long

I hope Canada shuts down the pipeline that runs from Alaska. Make republicans pay for who they are!

There is fierce competition. Who will be the Best Comedian of 2025.\nHere is the current ranking: \n\nZelensksy is at #1 formore than 3 years.\nUrsula is sitting duck at #5.\n\nStarmer moved to #3 after he pledged $3 billion aid for Ukraine.\n\n1. Zelensksy - Ukraine \n2. Justin Trudeau - Canada \n3. Starmer - UK \n4. Macron - France \n5. Ursula - EU

CNN is disgusted headlining Trudeau like he is amazing and defending Canada stop hating our country..Too many young kids have died from fentanyl poisoning because of these people why don’t you look a parent in the eye that lost a child and tell them what Trump is doing is wrong you would never you cowards

Who cares what this resigned coward has to say? Pierre will fix Canada

I love all of the trump supporters or bots telling us to ‘go move to Canada’ or ‘leave, then,’ not realizing that if we did, this country wouldn’t be able to sustain itself, and fall faster than their heads could spin\n\nThat level of foresight and intellect tells us exactly why they thought trump would save the economy, lol\n\nWhy do you think they went after Roe, and keep telling us to breed? They need more people paying taxes so that the rich don’t have to: they want serfs\n\nAre the libs owned yet? Are we owned? lol

??? Go Canada!! stop this Russian lap dog.\n\nWhatever happened to freedom and a pursuit of a free world?..

A sad shame for the ? disgraceful criminal in the white house!! So sorry Canada

canada, can you guys adopt Minnesota please?

Mexico is standing with Canada, we will not let our countries be bullied by the USA. If you want to stop the drugs start by teaching your kids how to be happy without them.

Equality in protecting each other is a must. Mexico and Canada haven’t stopped illegal drugs from coming into their countries which then comes to the USA. Need to beef up your ports and international airports. Your border is safe because of the USA.

On behalf of the unintelligent/uneducated Americans in our country, I am so sorry for how all this is affecting you (Canada) and other countries in our world. Please know our current Government is not a reflection of all of us—many of us are just as mortified and disturbed by what is going on?

I was just thinkin, I bet if our relations with Canada Dry up, getting to Alaska will be slightly harder. And Russia reaaalllllyyy wants Alaska.

Where going to start making it here. We don’t need Canada

Trump is a fvcking embarrassment. Canada is like lil bro. They’re a peaceful people. We never have any problems with them. Our closest ally. Why the fvck is he punishing them like this?

Want Canadians know many of us are grieved by what is done by this so called but Not president and the tariffs that have been put on our neighbor. We mourn and feel grieved over the time he has been in office- the lies, lack of charity to others while still using ‘God’…shocked that nothing seems to be able to stop this… We are sorry for the hurt that’s been caused to Canada- And just know that some of us here are very grieved by what we see happening to many people in the last six months—- please forgive and pray for us!!! Our nation is in real trouble.

Canadians are very reasonable and very Polite people. I love you Canada and all the Canadians.

From EU to Canada. Here we stand for our friends. We may not have enough guns right now, but we are the second biggest economy in the world. You are welcome to do business with us.

The people praising Trudeau are idiots. Pretty speeches are not leadership or competence. \n\nCountries don’t have “friends.” They have interests, and it is not in the U.S. interest to subsidize Canada to the tune of >$200 billion per year.

I'm 1000% with CANADA AND UKRAINE... FTHE??, FMAGA & FTHE NAZI!!!

I just looked it up. Per capita Canada has a higher inflation rate and per capita Canada has more homeless people than America

??Canada First??

Trump wants to be a dictator like Putin and grow his Empire, he wants Canada as 51st state to grow his empire. That is what it’s about, not fentanyl.

americans, dont be fooled .. Trudeau brought Canada closer to a recession than any prime minister in Canadian history

Without the US protecting Canada and Mexico they are nothing.

As for Ukraine, it is a money laundering operation for politicians and arms manufacturers, as well as a human trafficking hub and bio-weapons research cener; the Ukraine war is a war to rob tax payers, disrupt Europe and forward the globalist agenda, of which it is demonstrated that Trudeau wishes for Canada, as he has taken away fundamental rights and freedoms for Canadians.

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

Canada ?? we are sorry about our dumb president. we are with you, i would love to live there. union member and home owner. proud father, husband, and american would like to say, my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time….
