All my love to our Canadian family and neighbors to the north. This is a great day of shame for the United States and it will take years...and probably decades after Donald is gone to repair the damage.

American leaders could take lesson from Canadian Prime Minister to talk diplomatically. Our President Trump/Vance suck at decision

After a long long time moron trudi sounds right .. trump is acting bully .. let’s take the fight head on ..

You know listening to Trudeau speak this is how a true leader should act and think how much more of the abuse of government are we going to take as Americans?

Conald thought these countries would just take his crap and beg for mercy. President Trudeau I did not vote for these lunatics at any time in my life!

Mr. Trudeau spoke, facts, directly and clearly to Trump and his Administration...very proud of how he is taking control of this situation ??

You ain't reasonable nor polite Trudeau you taking advantage of Americans O V E R find yourself another idiot to play with. Trumps tariffs are long overdue so glad this is happening. We have THE BEST president ✊✊

USA desperately needed planes diverted on 9/11, our airspace was shut down, Canada was right there for us, to take on massive unknown risk not knowing if planes had bombs; Canada entered WWII, years prior to the US, barley spoken of yet they stood tall without hesitation to fight for freedom and for QEII's funeral it was the Royal Canadian mounted police who were first in procession, a massive honor bestowed by the Queen, and much more. We can still banter with one other as always have + Canadians know that sane Americans, do not represent this madness!

Americans would not get great again, they only will be alone. And please take control of gun and health care system!

It has been less then 7 weeks and look at what Trump has already done... GTFO why you can Americans, it's a very good time to take an extremely long holiday!! \nThings are only gonna get worse, i can see the world turning away from the dollar and America's $36.22 TRILLION national debt becoming like the iceberg that sank the titanic, for the USA!

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

Take advantage of the US for years. Then cry like a baby when the tables are turned

We've tried for decades and every country bleeds us, we aint taking no more cuts, half the world will collapse and the other half WILL fall in line, watch. Why you think their having a fit. They could just say ok, but they KNOW!!

We can just come take your whole country there slick hair, just calm down. You won’t even get to be governor soon here buddy

You open the gates for illegals from Canada to usa everyone has seen videos. Taxis plying between New York and Canada border.. nothing matters other than protecting the sancity of borders of the country..That the only reason president trump had advantage on democrats and now people of Canada should also take a decision about u r leadership as u made ur country home of khalistani terrorist and Hindu RSS fanatics

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

Trudeu ,you can take your country and your liberal ass we have been footing the bill for years and years,,we wont dig you out of this war and your debt to usa,,period ..you will be gone shortly your people cant stand you..

Ca ada and mexicoare just crying all bc they have to pay to usz fif all they produced look you all idiots leaders from Canada and Mexico Trump it's not playing games or gi en nothing free to one no what don't you both leaders mexican n Canadian and the rest that have been criying take it or leave it now that usa leader step on your heals please stop.criying and pay your share to the USA CITIZENS

What a man full of shit,every country has been taken advantage of the us for years.we give them all our jobs and they take advantage of the us people

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

Portuguese here, I stand with you Canada! Eloquent, civilised words from your PM.\nEurope, UK, Canada and every civilised country, we must unite, that's how we become stronger. Donald's isolationism is a step back in every way. Just take a look at North vs South Korea.

Trump wants to assist Putin to take Canada.

I am canadian, and I hate being the laughing stock of the world, I hope Trump bankrupts canada and we all can be Americans!! You cannot eat pride, and turdeaus idea of helping the people is taking the tax off of booze for a couple months to sedate us,,,

Canada has been taking advantage of us for way too long. Time to start a building a border wall between the US and Canada.

hey buddy you want us to march over that invisible line with guns we’re taking everything

51 state take it easy Trump hussein this is not Kuwait

WE stand with Ukraine -- WE stand with Canada <3 WE need republicans and democrats to stand up NOW! We have an unwell President in office and Impeachment needs to take place immediately, before we enter in an unnecessary war!

Canada can stop taking g advantage of us ...their friends

Isn’t Trudeau a gay dude married to an old woman get him the f out the therrrrrrrrrr we’re taking all your shit America motha ffffftttruuucccaaaaa

tRump and Elon are holding the country hostage and taking all it's wealth and the MAGAT's are cheering, soon they will pay more for groceries, gas, homes and just about everything. the stock market are plummeting and they are cheering and loosing their jobs because of DOGe, Canada need to fight back (and we will) even harder and make the red states pay against their products and services and farmers, it's not against the american people but the illegal tariffs, stay strong ??

Karma will take care of the bullies.

I voted for trump and this dude has no idea what’s he’s taking about womp womp

All it takes for canadians to forgive this goober is a speech? No wonder you keep voting him in.

Ahhhhhh trying to weakest them to try and pull a putin and take them over! Hate did this!!!

Trump gone ruin United States, they will be alone, and unfortunately china will take US place in internacional institutions.

we should take canada yall are so incredibly worthless

What is it going to take for Americans to realize they are heading pedal to the metal to become a 3rd world country run by a dictatorship? 6 weeks of the current presidency will take hundred of years to recover, if ever. So sad.

Now there’s a leader…..articulate, calm, informative, strong, reasonable, and BRAVE! Take lessons Donnie!???

One thing Mr. Trudeau got wrong is that Trump is a smart man. Ohhhhh no he is not. He's just indebted to Putin and we Americans get to take the shitty ride down hell road.

*DONALD TRUMP IS A TRAITOR TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! HE MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE IMMEDIATELY NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!*\n*THE VERY SURVIVAL OF OUR NATION, OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR SOCIETY, OUR PEOPLE, AND OUR IDEALS DEPEND ON THIS!*\n*IN FACT,...OUR VERY EXISTENCE ACTUALLY DEMANDS IT!*

OH HOG WASH AND CANADA HAS BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AMERICA FOR MANY YEARS NOW, WE ARE NOT SCARED

I wish Canada would take me in... i hate the USA

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

How is this guy still called our Prime Minister. Sit down, and let the adults take care of the problems you created.

Putin managed to take the U.S. without ever firing shot! All thanks to weak, weak, dementia Don! Ukraine has managed to stave off Russian violence and military action for more than 3 years! The U.S. has turned their backs on their allies and licks the boots of a dictator! The gloves are off! Elbows Up, Canada! ❤️???✊️❤️?? ???

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.

Wesley Clark is a tool. \n\nHe knows very well that the US cannot get in a shooting with Russia. Not only due to the possibility of a nuclear exchange, but a shooting conflict with Russia is a golden opportunity for China to take Taiwan and for a full scale war to break out in the Middle East. Not only between Iran and Israel, Egypt has been building up forces near Israel as well. \n\nThe US can’t fight and win a 3 theatre war. Aka WWIII. \n\nEveryone knows these tariffs are about the USMCA, in addition to drugs and aliens. This could have been averted. They know it. They’d rather let their people suffer than give up a favorable trade imbalance for a slightly less favorable trade imbalance. \n\nBut for Trudeau to invoke appeasement knowing the real stakes. And knowing that the only thing preventing hostilities breaking out elsewhere in the world is the US having freedom of action to respond, is shameful. \n\nAnd Wesley Clark, along with the rest of the neocon geopolitical apparatus, being willing to flirt with WWIII because Trump is pulling the plug on their imperial project in Ukraine.. downright traitorous.

As an american....yes. Go after man baby trumpikov and JD blanche. Is this is boosting the liberals poll numbers. Democrats in the US could take note of what having a spine looks like.
