America is not putting tariffs upon you... Just the idiot new dictator trump. All your words are reasonable and sane and correct. We do not even understand how or why he has decided the victim Zelensky is somehow at fault, while putin who the entire world hates, who is actively destroying his own country... Is somehow trumps boyfriend. ::Stares empty:: America has zero idea why. Well said Justin Trudeau.

Trump and Maga are like any crazy regime, absolutely full of magical thinking and not based in reality. So 2+2 = 6 and if you don’t agree, you hate America. Average Americans are expected to believe that a bunch of billionaires and companies that have been robbing them blind for 40 years will now have their backs because they are actually in government instead of just pulling the strings from the sides. Or because they trigger the right people on the Internet. . I also hate how every leader in the world has to pay some kind of false reverence to Trump even though they all know he’s nuts out of some kind of decorum. Just want somebody with balls to get up and say fuck him and fuck his lunacy. And shove your decorum up your arse because Trump doesn’t have any. It’s about time you realise what you’re dealing with and pull the gloves off. Playing nice and nice and reasonable is only playing into his hands.

Sure this was necessary, but don't forget Trudeau has been putting tariffs on Canadians for a while with carbon tax and was planning to quadruple it. Trump might not be the hero for America, Trudeau is for sure the villain of Canada.

Lets every country to help trump to build a great America !

Trudeau and his lisp ?? The USA doesn’t need Canada Canada needs the USA - You mad bro ??? I love ❤Trump ! He’s got this liberal douche panties up in a knot !!! I think it’s hilarious- Donald Trump nor America gives two ? about Trudeau or his tariffs- DJT is genius

The majority voted Trump. Ok then now follow through with what that means. More American made stuff involves paying more for your stuff. Trump is going all in with nothing to lose and he's taking America with him even if that means World War III in the name of his macho pride. Just look at him talk he's a real 'tough' guy

“Make America great again”this is a slogan for Trump , but now Trump is making America shameful again, this is a horrible situation, the lighthouse of freedom for the world is falling by Trump. This is a tragedy for the US and the world. We really hope things will get better four years later.

Justin Dudeblow is playinng directly in to Trumps hands.\nThis is exactly what he knew was going ro happen. \n*THE NET RESULT IS MORE MANUFACTURING IN AMERICA*

Australian here - More leaders need to push back on Trump. Also, people in America need to do something about this before it goes too far. I feel we're at the precipice.

I am a 72 years of female who lives in Canada with very strong American roots as I came here when I was 46 years of age. I have to say that what is happening between the United States of America and Canada breaks my heart. I have always known that Canada and United States of America worked and got along with each other all my life. Yes, my heart is broken for the Americans and the Canadiens who will suffer because of this trade war that President Trump started. Prayers for both countries.

MAGA indeed, Trump is surely Making America Grumpy Again ?

The difference is Trump will find a way to make this a declaration of war by his knowledge and thinking process and take what he wants and dummies would support that ???‍♂️ America is in a strange place rn other countries have to be careful no one is standing up to him here.

Trump is what is best for our Country! Love him or hate him- he doesn’t care and continue doing what’s right for America. \n\n-Shane

This man closed Canadas parliament and gave a Nazi war criminal a standing ovation. No one respects him, he is purposely destroying our country. The war is against Nazi liberals not America. Save us from this tyrant!!! Save Canada! Do not be fooled, he has erased Christianity and given corporations full control, he is EVERYTHING they accuse Donald Trump of being and WORSE! America is our last hope!!!!! I will die fighting to restore our democracy in Canada!

Congratulations America, you voted for Trump and now you're going to feel the full extent of your decision. Imported good are going to increase, inflation is increasing and your markets are going DOWN. Doesn't look like your winning, does it.

Trump fucked this up, USA is better off keeping the taxes on us cause you have now pissed us off!\nCanada will never trust or rely on America ever again and will move away from America and it's influence to free trade with China and Europe.\nGood luck America, you are now standing on your own!

Trump (Comrade Krasnov) is not American and does not speak for America. He’s a traitor. And in the pocket of Putin.\n\nI stand with Canada.

What did America expect from a con man, a convicted felon!\nLook, Trump aligns with Russia and other dictators, but in order to do so, he has to cut ties with the allies!

From Georgia, I stand with Canada 100%. trump is a traitor and a criminal. I do not accept him as president. I am ashamed of America and I apologize with all my heart for what trump is doing. I did not vote for him and never would! I love Canada and will always support you!

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

Trump is a backstabbing traitor of the American people. Canada don’t put your anger on the people, I didn’t vote for Trump in either election. In fact he should have been impeached before he was able to run again and now here he is again running AMERICA into the GROUND

American here. I am on a limited income (Social Security) but I 100% support Canada & what Canada needs to do to counteract the actions of our incompetent, insane 'President'. Go Canada! We not-insane Americans salute you & apologize for our 'Orange Menace'. We look forward to when our governments can be friends again. Our two peoples will always be Friends! (I have family there also.) P.S. The drug issue is a fake issue on the part of the Trump Administration. We all know it's the market that drives illegal drugs-- i.e. our own drug abusers buying this stuff. Cheers, & With Hopes for a Better America. (And Slava Ukraine!)

Watch trump weaponize this to paint Canada as an enemy of America to justify future shenanigans and Senate Republicans will continue to just eat it right up smh

Now that he's on his way out, he gives his best speech ever?! American people, we thank you for words of support. NOW, figure out a way to get rid of Trump and the oligarchs. It will bring down democracy everywhere if America goes down this dictatorial path. WWIII will never be Zelenskyy's fault, it will be your country's fault. Ensure that he does not trample your constitution and find military backing to stay on past the four years if you can't get rid of him soon. Get your representatives in Washington to work against this guy, whether they are Republicans or Dems. In all our countries, we have been complacent, streaming movies, gaming, buying stuff we don't need AND we've elected far too many morons! We need to use the power of democracy to form government to our needs, not the corporate world and oligarchs!

U.S. ARMY VETERAN WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO Russia like trump has. Wake up America

TRUMP gives zero f’s. This is what was voted for with a mandate no less. So get over it, libs. America 1st. We are leveling the trade deficit and withdrawing from another Vietnam. Get over it. Don’t you want people to stop dying?? Friggn libs love endless wars. It’s bizarre. I’ll never understand it.

What happened to making America Great Again! It’s make Trump and Musk Rich Again.

Thank you from America. We don't want Trump either. Perhaps we can send he and Musk to Mars. I hope you give us 50% tariffs, let everyone who voted this charlatan into office pay!

I believe that Trump & Putin have a plan to dominate the world with Putin taking Europe and Trump taking Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panana, aka the Americas. What part China & North Korea play in Asia, I don't know. But they look to be inching in this direction!

Less than one percent of fentanyl that enters the United States comes from Canada. Trump has absolutely no idea what’s he’s talking about he’s constantly spouts lies to trick Americans to further his own agenda, in fact he’s betraying America’s allies and getting closer with our enemies. He’s a terrible person and should be ousted from office ASAP

Trump is a disgrace to humanity.. trump is the dumbnest president ever in the history of America...

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

American voters who voted for Trump! This is a leader, not just handsome (which trump is claiming to be and is not), this is intelligent, (which trump is not), this is smart (which trump is not), this is articulate, (which trump is not) this is smartly countering trumps stupidly. Trump is the failure America that trump created with the help of those racist voters who approved this nonsense trump has been doing. And worse of all you were supposed to see what colonisation has done to South Africa and other countries and you allow Elon to colonise an already colonised country, the USA).

You people do know that the majority of this country does not agree with you right? We support Donald Trump and will stand by him as he makes America better again. We are getting stronger as new companies come in and will put many American workers to work. American workers will produce better products.

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

Trump is a joke to the world. Countries have realized Trump can’t be trusted. He has left America open to Russia, China and North Korea to take over.

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.

People that hate Trump hate America too!

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

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.

I think something just clicked.... we know that trump is egotistical and he wants the credit for things he didn't do, twist stories to his benefit. With that said. I think trump wants to create this WW3 to gain territory, so places like Greenland, Canada, gulf of Mexico and Gaza he has showed his interests there. So him partnering up with outings agenda. And with america in war, he would get to stay third term. While he fattens the pockets of his oligarchs. His billionaires and his Co-president.

I feel ashamed of America. Trump is a monster.

Let's not forget that the USA has only ever won one war on its own. The American Civil War! WW1 and 2 were a global allied effort, Korea a stalemate, beaten pants down in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan a shambles. Their recent treatment of President Zolenski was utterly shameful. Trump doesn't seem to understand that America will need all the friends that it can muster in the coming decade. The USA will be very alone in a war against China if they have isolated and belittled their strongest and best allies. Vance, should just keep his mouth shut, because every time he opens it he shames America. While every time Trump his mouth, Putin comes out.

Please say trump did it, not America. Most of us do NOT support this. We love our Canadian neighbors. And we don't blame you for your reaction. One day, we will return to a positive, constructive relationship!

Dictatorship is coming to the USA. Vance is a real fascist. Everyone is applauding Trump like in the Third Reich or North Korea. Save America, guys, before it's too late.

Trump acts like he's on fentanyl talks like he's on his dumb show the apprentice. Best for the whole world to cut America out and let the people vote him back out for starting the 3rd world War

I stand with America and Trump، I believe it is the time to have a leadership to show up these countries such as Canada and Europe to depend on themselves without Americans

I honestly think Trump hates America and is setting up the fall. None of this makes sense.

Trump is in it for destruction, the more complete the destruction the better. USAID destruction is only an example. Trump will continue to destroy and destroy because his whole agenda from the very beginning is to destroy rather than to build, that’s his design his way to get the most attention, building and constructing is tedious and long term and requires sacrifices, and does not garner him the blasting short term attention he needs, he will never build. He will destroy everything until he dies and his end goal is to go out with a Bang destroying the entire US of A and killing everyone with him. That’s what Hitler did to German just before he died. That is Trump. Trump is America and America has always been Trump?

Trump is a G , Trump wants a even playing field with all countries ripping off America due to them taking advantage of a corrupt , incompetent Biden administration. Trudeau doesn't practice what he preaches. Its alright when they do it, its a problem when Trump does it.
