Just goes to show doing what Trump asks you to (toughen birder etc) doesnt stop him doing his shit anyway

Not once did he talk about why this is happening? He says he's our friend but saying it is one thing. Actions speak louder Trudeau. Mr. Trump asked you to meet him to get balanced fair trade. You say you are our friend. But, yet you don't want fair and balanced trade. Hmmm, common sense goes a long. Tariff is a smart way to let you know that your certainly not acting like the friend and ally you say you are. This could all go away, but the truth is your demonrat supporter who lies, misleads the truth, and blames others. We the people don't tolerate that any longer and don't appreciate it. Shame on you!

How did we end up with Donald… all we asked for was somebody come talk to us like this. But we get Donald

All were asking Canada and Mexico to do is police their border.....I don't think that's to much to ask.

You can’t change your neighbors.. make peace with them even if it costs a few billions on paper. Ask other countries who have not very good relationships with neighboring countries. It’s not good for region.

I'm a taxpayer in the USA, who has also donated cold hard cash to Ukraine. I personally will not lick any russian boot, nor will I ask anyone else to. Slava Ukraini! Bless you Canada!

Going to be interesting to listen to Trump lying to Congress tonight. His only other option is to avoid talking about tariffs. And the big question: will Congress wake up tonight and start asking questions about what Trump is doing and why (the real reasons)? Lastly, why the big hurry to cozy up to Russia? What is in that for the USA?

May I come there to live please? \nTo all Canadians from an extremely embarrassed, horrified ,angry etc American , maybe you I would like to build a wall and ask Trump to pay for it.

Canada should keep PM Trudeau! He seems to know his shit!! He should be asked to remain. HE can handle Trump! What if your next PM bows down to Trump, then Canada is screwed! Trudeau should NOT be leaving! He's doing a great job!!

You were simply asked to secure the border and stop the flow of fentanyl but I guess that China is lining your pockets to much to care about that.

Yes ask yourselves what is this really about \nIsolating the nation from our allies is never a good idea

This is only the 3rd month under Trump/Vance, lord pray for us ! I’m sorry as an American, I didn’t ask for this! ?

I ask!...who projects the TRUTH most! TRUDEAU or TRUMP??...I'm asking for a friend!??‍♂️

Trump would lose in any boxing match. Ask him to box it out. Trump would definitely loose. Zelensky would knock his ass out in the first round. God bless Canada and Ukraine. We love you

Canada has been treating the United States like their personal ATM for way too long. You bring nothing to the table, but you have the audacity to ask for everything. It’s sad how most people don’t understand politics and just rely on media to tell them how to think and feel Russia is not a threat to no one but they have been constantly attack attacked by everyone especially the United States. You guys talk war but you’re not ready for World War III. No one can ever be ready for that

Can I please cone to Canada as an American refugee. I swear I wont ask a thing from anyone all I want is to escape this madness in America

Tariffs, sanctions, do whatever you need Canada. Let the USA feel the pain they have asked for.

To all Americans, this is not personal but we are going to fight Trump's Tariffs with everything we can muster! We will take financial pain and deprive ourselves of AMERICAN products we love! Look at WW2 and you will see Canadians never give up! We almost never pick a fight but if forced, we will fight till the end! We stopped Fentanyl cold and your President ignored it because his agenda is to drive Canada to financial ruin, so we ask to be a state! Mark these words well Canada will never ever become the 51st state of the USA! This is not our of anger or distain! No, it is the quiet patriotism and love of country that Canadians have that we choose to remain Canada ,and always will! I ask facetiously; would you Americans like to become a Province of Canada? I didn't think so!

And my American friends, let's ask if the US has done the same? More than 800 lbs of fentanyl was seized by the CBSA crossing from the US into Canada last year and how about the illegal guns you keep smuggling into Canada?\n\nIf Canada has to do the job of your border agents, shouldn't the US need to do the job of ours? When smugglers are entering the US, it's US border agents, not Canadian or American that those smugglers meet. When crossing from the US to Canada, it's CBSA agents they meet, not US. So maybe we need to reverse that, or combine border agencies and work together??? Nah, that wouldn't work for tRump, because after all, it isn't about Fentanyl at all.

Let's see, make peace at reasonable cost with a man who's war with Ukraine showed the world that they cannot last in war with US on a military vs military bases; and the only option against the US is a nuclear, while Zelenskyy want's to use US as a deterrent against Putin, all while asking the US for billions. On the other hand, Canada, Mexico and Panama are being over ran by chinese businesses. People think this is against Canadians, Mexicans and Panamanians, but these tariffs are against chinese who are manufacturing in these countries and bypassing tariffs already in place by the US. The chinese are manufacturing in Canada and Mexico and placing (made in Canada/Mexico) and shipping those items to the US, while Canada and Mexico do nothing.

canadians: everyone in canada hates trudea and wants him to do what trump asks because we have to chance of prospering without america on out side and the only way to get them on our side is to comply with the reasonable, mutually beneficial asks of trump

in 2013, the United Nations set out a Universal Agenda called the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Right to Health, in this Agenda, which has to be met by 2030, Since 2013, we had the Climate Change hoax that was started by our king while he asked for all financial institution to dish out over $780 billion dollars worth 'green things' which are now going bankrupt, however, he convinced that the earth was going to combust, then we had the COVID, which killed many, so now that those schemes are over, we are slapped with another tax scheme called tariffs. Anyhow, the Agenda said that in order for us to enter 'THE NEW ERA' the natural resources that the Country produces are to be shared for all citizens to enjoy, NOT SHAREHOLDERS!!

If you wanted his attention , you should have asked to speak to one specific American Agent Krasnov ......

Why are you talking over Justin Trudeau? He was just asked about Ukraine and the US cutting off aide.... And you cut away? Why??

Well u should have helped our country like trump asked you to do!!!! He warned you and you didn’t lift a finger so us taxpayers can give you the finger!! ?. ? u think Trump was playing games???!!! Why was your border still opened allowing illegals in our country??!!! They were flying in thru plane and just walk thru Canada & u did nothing about it!!!????

Stop crying Canada. U and Europe created this monster and now thats coming after u, u still don't get it. U still ask it to play nice

Maybe you could start with having the Pope apologize to us Canadians about the lies you, Mr. Trudeau told about Natives being buried and killed by teachers in Canada and you blamed us. Where is our apology first. A reasonable Canadian asks.

Well u should have helped our country like trump asked you to do!!!! He warned you and you didn’t lift a finger so us taxpayers can give you the finger!! ?. ? u think Trump was playing games???!!! Why was your border still opened allowing illegals in our country??!!! They were flying in thru plane and just walk thru Canada & u did nothing about it!!!????

Thanks President Donald J Trump . A guy who knows everything , even before you ask him a question. What a Grnius. ?

Ask him how he knows a lying, murdering dictator.!..takes one to know one. He ifs a POS ??? nobody wants him here. He can go to hell with his BFF Klaus Schwab

As a hard-working American, this is disheartening. And unnecessary I did NOT vote for this!!!! Ask me what is important to me, and don't start war's against our fellow countries that I didn't sign up for!!!

Trudeau is an idiot ask any Canadian

as a German i ask me if a American understand what he say,now you can pay 10 Dollar for 2 Dollar Stuff USA you are so dump and you even now dont understand why that is

Ask him how he knows a lying, murdering dictator.!..takes one to know one. He is a POS ??? nobody wants him here. He can go to hell with his BFF Klaus Schwab…gonna wipe Fentanyl off the planet, are you, dumb-dumb?!

This is frightening, God please help us Americans who never asked for this! ??

I am American and support Canada and Mexico’s actions wholeheartedly. That said, I feel you guys are still bending backwards. Please don’t. Talking about fentanyl is nonsense. The man child you are dealing with only understand one thing — strength and sting men. So man up and throw some punches, otherwise he will call you next to White House and ask you to rub your nose. Cheers!

Governor Trudeau is asking for a regime change or something to occur

To the Global Ecomony: Americans understand that you have to stand on business but remember that the American public didnt ask for this. We are embarrassed by the Dump administration. Pray for us.

Bahahahahaha im not going to even watch this clownn gk him and the ppl who abide by “buy made in canada” hahaha what the fk has he done for every Canadian???!!! Ask urself that?? Killed and tried to kill pp. don’t listen to this corrupt clown omg wakeup canada. Lmao of course he doesn’t want this!!!! Why would he , he being exposed!! Omg whatever bloody circus

Canada should immediately order total blockade the border and reject all goods coming to Canada from USA and ask all Canadian not going to USA from now until further notice to force Trump Tariff to crack down! At the same time call each province to mobilize to prepare for actual war to star conscription because Trump may invade Canada like Hitler had done in Europe before! He is actually mad in mind now!

Lol, trump is making it fair you idiots, we've been had for centuries!! Now that we ask for reciprocation, it's an attack?? Good luck defending your countries....

Beware of all religions. “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves.” –(The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 7: 15)– \nFor God is our true Father. So never worship and pray in the way of the many false prophets of all religions. \n“But when you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you openly. \nIn your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. \nThis is how you should pray: \nOur Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, \nYour kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, \nGive us today our daily bread, \nForgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. \nAnd do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. \nFor yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. \nAmen. \nFor if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” – (The Prophet and Messiah Jesus of Nazareth at Matthew 6: 6-15) – \n \n“Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” – (at Matthew 7: 1-2) – \n \n“In truth I tell you, if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” – (at John 8: 51) – \n \n“Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. \nEnter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” – (Matthew 7: 12-14) – \n \n“I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. \nThe thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” – (John 10: 9-10) – \n \n“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – (Matthew 7: 21) – \n“I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and any one who is alive and has faith shall never die.” – (John 11: 25-26) – \n \n“I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” – (John 12: 47) – \n“Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” – (Matthew 10: 32-34) – \n \n“I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” – (John 14: 6-7) – \n \n“An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” – (Matthew 22: 35-40) – \n \n“There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” – (John 15: 13) – \n \n“Do not call any man on earth ‘father’ ; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’ ; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.’” – (Matthew 23: 9-10) – \n \n“Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” – (Matthew 24: 4) – \n“Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. ” – (Matthew 24: 11-13) – \n \n“Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” – (Matthew 28: 20) – \n \nYours, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, on Tuesday the 4th of March 2025: – (Please read Matthew 5: 14-16) – Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often, as prescribed above, before it is too late.

How much will this affect the price of a plate of fries and gravy? Asking for my friends in Maine

trudeau isnt canadas pm, he has been asked to step down, he resigned, his party doesn't want him, the people do not want him, he has actively put a stop on government while he runs around making promises or threats he cannot or does not have the mandate to do so... why doesn't the media mention this.... sign a canadaian

this is the dictator that closed bank accounts of protesters if you controled your borders you would have no tariffs thats all trump asked

He must not have watched the hockey game recently….we are America, the greatest and strongest country on the planet….dont f with us, you don’t scare us…. You need us LoL learn the hard way, ask Ukraine LoL

Someone asked me . If Canada and USA went to war where would i stand. I would fight with canadians. Well it depends.... question what is the canadiam dollar worth? Hmmm... decisions... decisions

When will Trump voters come to their senses? When will the policies of the current admin affect them enough to ask their reps to reign in their President.

Let’s not forget all Trump asked Canada to do was to secure the US/Canadian boarder.

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.
