Got to admit , I didn’t expect this really happening to Canada. Let’s get this overturned. These are our allies. Canadians don’t blame the American people.

How is he defending Canadian jobs? The whole point of tarrifs is to make it unprofitable for American companies to use Canada for things like manufacturing, energy and other natural resources.\n\nThe liberal government is who made us weak where we depended on the trade deficit in our favour. If we looked at tapping our resources and finding other markets, we wouldn't be so far gone.\n\nTrudeau's answer? EI? More taxpayer debt?\n\nHe's trying to use this situation to garner support from the public. We're screwed.

I stand for Canada but not for Trump

Funny nobody mentions the Canadian tariffs already in place on US goods. Good luck ruining Canadas economy. When is Trudeau leaving? ??

Trudeau is a joke in Canada. A leech that doesn't wanna leave his post. Greedy, gay, coward and no dignity!

I think King Charles might have something to say about losing Canada as part of the Commonwealth of nations. He might even withdraw his invitation of a state visit.

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

We all know it's not about the drugs. He wants Canadas resources, he wants Canada. Trump is a baby man. The worst president. Poor Americans. Trump will ruin America and side with Russia.

way to go Canada

Woke left liberal exposed. Canada has no wherewithall to stand in front of uncle Sam

Ask him what we have to pay Canada for tariffs? ?

How come Canada didn't do something about the illegals coming through their border and the fetanal problem until Trump was elected? During Biden Canada wasn't really concerned. BTW how about the US stop exporting aircraft parts to Canada

to our American friends if you are unhappy with your new dic president please help Canada by coming on a ski trip or holiday or just bur Canadian this would help us out and undermine this terrible mistake of a president

I’m American & I did NOT VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP! I stand with you Canada! Do what you need to do!?

Just so you know this Buffoon destroyed Canada. He speaks out two sides of his mouth.

Look at all these liberals in the comments section lol Trump is only doing what Canada has been doing to us for a lot time. Now you want to cry about it lol

If Canada ever so awesome why does everybody want to come to the United States

Go Canada ???? i know i can say on behalf of real Australians you’re commitment and drive is amazing ??????????

Have fun with Trudeau. Im sure hes gonna make everything alright in Canada. ???

I was waiting for him to offer Americans a free Visa, “come live in Canada, where we take care of our people.”

My deepest gratitude to all who support Canada. ??

Fat Donny is on his own we the American people are with Canada and Ukraine I can't wait until one day he doesn't wake up.

Canada, the country the US wishes it was.

Please know that half of us did not vote for this monstrous government and can’t comprehend the stupidity of US voters who believed the lies of right wing media .We are so confounded on what to do.We fantasize about Canada and Mexico invading the US and dividing governance between you as Americans clearly can’t govern themselves.

Canada should join the EU

I’m from Michigan and totally agree with Canada ? ??

Now I'm ready for the US to become the 11th province of Canada! ??

Australia stands in support of Canada!

Thank you, Canada for Standing up for the American people and knowing who is causing so much pain and grief to the American people.

Thank you Canada! Millions of Americans stand with you even though we’ll take the brunt of the financial burden.

Canada be like why America we are white nation?

Michigander here. Canada's response is ON POINT. Good decision. Sad it had to be made.

Can't stand our Prime Minister, he's done too much damage to Canada and I will forever dislike him but BUT how he spoke here he has earned some respect! Wish he was like this from the get go

Putin is not allowing migrants rape gangs access to Canadian schoolchildren.\nThis cross dressers has destroyed Canada with unvetted migrants gangs. He's a dumb idiot leading Canada over a cliff.

Thank you, Canada, \nIt's not the American people,, Only those in the WHITE HOUSE, who want a dictatorship.\nNot even our own Supreme Courts won't listen to the American people asking for a hearing against the attacks on the American people.\nTrump owns the Supreme Court The House of Representatives.,\nDonald Trump and Vance need to be taken out of the White House. Musk is Distroying the American People.\nImpeach Trump and Vance ?????

Don’t worry Canada, the US is imploding from within…pretty soon you can come and pick up the pieces…..

DONALD is selling our country out! YOU MAGA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!! STAND FIRM CANADA!!

If your american and you support this clown, please move to Canada, nobody's holding here. Pack up and leave.

We are backing Russia and beefing with Canada? What's happening?

I’m from the u.s and I stand with Canada !!! Get trump out of here!!!!! Worse president in the history of presidency

I maybe an ignorant on politics , but what happens when USA , well not USA but the Trump administrations has caused so much damage to the country to the point where other maybe most of his allies start taking responses such as that of Canada , and escalate to the point where perhaps USA lose most of his allies at least important allies such as Canada, the support of the global geopolitics , I Maine that scenario for a moment wouldn't that give Trump an excuse to align even more openly with Putin? I mean why would Trump want that at all who knows but he is certainly aligning with Russia just not openly at least that's what a lot of these decisions he has made recently seem to suggest I mean a lot of the consequences of those decisions and acting really seem to benefit someones agenda and to me a politics ignorant seems to be Putin ... Am I too crazy for thinking and feelings like that???

Canada! It may seem like it but we are not all ?!!!\nBullies are bullies until someone slaps the ? out of them. Your response is motivational to many who can’t believe the lunatics are running the asylum.

I’m an American and I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico!

canada lost its greatest Allie not the USA

If only Mr. fancy sox was as tough with the drug triads in Canada as he spoke to Trump.

Is this the first Step of Canada towards becoming the 51st State of USA? ?? ❤❤❤

Canada will become a 51st state. So all this is irrelevant.

AMERICA DOESN'T NEED CANADA!!!!
