People from the USA will pay the price for all this but Trump doesn't care because he considers them as slaves to him and his rich friends. As for Vance and his comment about war... Hey Vancy boy...wnaan talk about war? Really? USA got his arse kicked in Vietnam, Modagishu, Irak and Afghanistan. The only war they had some success with was against the weak Germans during WWII and they would have never been able to do it without the Russians. And let's not forget that they almost got defeated a few days after D-Day. This, because of..... bogs! So get here Vancy boy and you'll see what Canadians are capable of. Besides that, you need us more than we need you and you automobile's economy (among many others) is going to crash just because of you and Trump. No more electricity for you, no no more gas, no more oil, no more lumber, no more aluminum, no more alcohol sales and the worst part...no more maple syrup! Besides that, almost everything sold by the USA is coming from China, so why bother buying from the USA when we can buy the same for cheaper?

The queer thing is that Trump doesn't even care about his own family let alone victims to fentanyl. He doesn't give a shit about people dying from fentanyl so what's his agenda? There is none. He's a school yard bully just throwing his weight around , all 3 tonnes of it

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❤

this is war not against normal people but against a facist wannabe , run mr trump you and your little friends run you obviously dont care about our kids our families world peace you gotta go !!!!!!

I don't care if people choose to destroy their lives with drugs, just don't increase prices for everything.

This the same guy that froze the truckers bank accounts 4 years ago. Do you really think he care about his people or control. Look it up.

When are you people gonna learn? He does not care because he does not even listen to the courts.\n\nThe only thing he would listen to would be a direct threat to his life

These tariffs are about the US consumer to pay more for everything in order for Dump to recover money from working people to give tax cuts to the rich, nothing else. His lame excuse/lie that it's about fentanyl on the Canadian border is well known by people with commonsense. Let's see how long Dumps supporters will keep believing him when they along with every other American are getting it up the ass in inflation, of which Dump lied he would take care of from day 1. Just today, 1st day of tariffs, gas went from $2.55 to $3.09 in NM Buckle up folks!!!

I think the US president is making the US economy worse, taxes and prices in the country will increase, and relations with other countries will not be good. Since taking office, he has only focused on the small number of rich people with a lot of money, while 90% of the population is struggling with prices and taxes, so he has nothing to care about. What did the American people vote for him to do? To make people's lives better, to have more jobs, to make taxes better...etc. He only talks but has not done anything. The words of a rich person like him are not trustworthy.

Don’t care leaders any more , only Common people make things work !!!

This is how Trump is when he’s a president if he don’t get something then this is what he does to payback to other countries and even to other people in America however, he treats people in other country he would treat America just as bad. Trump is a dictator and evil and mean and a terrorist to our own country. Trump don’t give a crap about America. He only cares about himself. I’m with Canada and America to fight for our rights against Trump.

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.

Now that’s a good leader! Take care of your people ??

My husband and I are seniors and we will be applying for citizenship in Canada. We are wanting a leader like the Prime Minister who does look out for the common people NOT an impeached felon who is definitely supporting the Billionaires. This wicked so called President only cares about the Billionaires and methods how he can take advantage of your blue collar workers. It just sickens me that our Vets fought for our freedoms and some made the ultimate sacrifice.

Our government (United States) cares absolutely nothing about its people. Trump and his boot lickers care only about themselves. Thank you for being the voice of reason for us since we don't have a leader down here capable of respecting the people he supposedly serves.

We don't want this, either. <3 Canada is a wonderful country and neighbor. The true American people care. We can't say the same about the people hacking away at our government and profiting from it all. We're on your side, Trudeau, because real Americans are on the world's side. That's the actual truth despite the actions of the oligarchs here. We've been overrun.

A leader who cares for his people. I miss that in America.

Trump works for the Dictators and the rich. The US government doesnt care about their people at all. Yet they vote it all in. Makes me super sad, because the US citizens are so vulnerable and uncared for. Sure he will paint a different picture. Open your eyes, see what is happening, hear what is happening. Your Government is harming your Nation.

As a Midwest American I despise what our government is doing. And I thank the other democracies in the world for standing up and caring for their people.

Trump needs to go!! Americans needs to stand up and impeach trump, he’s a liar, has no idea of what he’s talking about and obviously cares only for himself and is going to ruin our country!! How can the American people be so stupid!! \nNo one can trust trump and his cronies!! \nHe will not stop, he’s a dictator, ignorant Man!!

Trump is acting without any care to what the people of this country want or need. What's happening is terrifying to so many of us. Please know that what he is doing is not supported by the majority of the country.

Commie Donnie doesn't care about the American people. He only cares about enriching himself and his billionaire friends.

This resigned Prime Minister jailed and seized bank accounts of Canadian people peacefully protesting draconian COVID policies. Look it up. He cares more about sending billions to Ukraine than helping Canadians. He invited a Ukrainian Nazi and applauded him in the House of Parliament. Good riddance !

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

I know a lot of people don't care for Trudeau. I am actually pretty impressed with him, and on his way out, he is showing his strength and intelligence. He has Canada's back even in his last days as Prime Minister. Let's make sure we elect a Prime Minister who is equally strong and can stand up the narcissistic bully called Trump.

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

Trump and Vance only care about the rich people... This is who you voted for for at least the next 4 years.. total scumbags!! Enjoy it.. and now we all pay the price for it

When you can create a meme coin and make tens of millions within a couple weeks, you really don't have to care about the markets crashing and other people losing their retirement funds

Keep in mind Canada, we the people love you. It is Trump and his associates that are being traitors to the United States. they know it will harm American families, but the United States government currently does not care. They want to harm Americans so that they can create a slave class and a ruling class.

As a Minnesotan, I feel as if I’m almost as Canadian as American and proud to say so. Our present sitting president and buffoon unelected sidekick Musk are creating chaos everywhere for the sake of billionaire donors and supporters. Absolutely none of what Trump/Musk has done and plans to continue to do is beneficial to a single non-wealthy American and these actions will harm his personal voters (of which I’ve never been one!) the most. Trump cares not. Pervasive narcissistic sociopathy is not curable! Stand strong Canada! We’re trying mightily to defeat this insanity here in the USA! 74 million people did not vote for any of this harm and destruction and outright cruelty!

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.

Trudeua trying to get the Americans to hate Trump is reason enough to believe the tariffs will hurt Canada, and not the American people. Lying coward that doesn't care about his own citizens.

F…! Pay your dues Trudeau you don’t care about your own people

Wow. Imagine a leader who cares about their people, not just their buddies

Already know that our gov doesn’t care about the people

I have never felt more proud to be a Canadian, it’s a good feeling, I was almost brought to tears earlier thinking about it. And it’s interesting to note that it is overriding the fear of the consequences of Donald’s actions. Here’s where I can’t help but think of you, our fellow North Americans. The good people of the USA, I hold you in my heart. For you don’t have that boost that comes from feeling proud of your country. I can’t say I’ve ever known what that is like. It seems it would leave you gutted, and lost. Can you even describe the feeling, the experience? It has to be one of those things that you can’t know until you experience it. The pride in my country is keeping me going. My heart is crushed thinking that you do not have that. But you need to do everything you can to keep it. It’s what the Donald and his cronies are counting on. Unfortunately, he does not care about you. He wants to crush you. He does not care about America and what it stands for. He only cares about himself. If you do not have the fight that comes from being proud of your country, you guys are gonna be easy pickings. Do everything you can to find pride in your country. We need you to fight. We need you at our side. We are with you. We will always be with you.

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

You Mr Trudeau love and care for the people of your country,Donald wants to destroy the poor and middle class in America.

Trump doesn't care about fair, doesn't care about truth, doesn't care about anything other than 1) how much he can get people to fawn over him and 2) how much money he can make off of any situation, regardless of who gets hurt in the process.\n\nHey Trudeau, why don't you just annex the US as the 11th Canadian province! That's what I'm talking aboot!

The guy is a dictator. He doesn’t even care about his own people!

Well Trudeau did you doubt him. Get rid of the carbon tax if you care about your people, and stop blaming everyone else for bankrupting our country. You did that. Btw: your stern stance scares me. NOT!

I am absolutely outraged what Trump is doing. We the People of the United States as A Democrat never Voted for a Felon to the Whitehouse. Trump wanted to be President so he wouldn’t do Time. \nHe won’t even disclose what is in the Epstein Files because he was part of it. He had these young girls at Mar O Lago. \nI STAND WITH UKRAINE, PALESTINE, CANADA, MEXICO AND ALL EUROPEAN LEADERS TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND HIS IDIOTIC VICE PRESIDENT WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER AND DID NO COMBAT FIGHTING HE OVER FLATED HIS MILITARY RECORD. AS A FORMER NAVY CORPSMAN DEPLOYED TO OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOMS I SAW WHAT ROLE EVERYONE PLAYED. WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES AND THE UNIT BY FIRING OUR WEAPONS BUT WILL NEED TO GIVE LIFE SAVING CARE. \nTrump Needs to see how he is treating leaders in these countries and I tell Canada Turn the Power off in New York and any other State to prove a point and charge leaders an exorbitant amount of money for using Fuel from Canada.

Canadian PM does not care about his people. The Covid 19 vax mandate showed that. And the money he took away from the truckers. He needs to go away and resign. He is FAkE

Trump does not care about Canadians,he doesn't care about Americans trump only cares about Russia and pleasing putin,as an American i am sorry people in our country made a bad mistake putting him back in after we got him out even then he tried to overthrow our government, he is a 34 count felon those thing were not enough to hold him off i am not proud to be an American i am ashamed of my country

LOL .. those people like this clown don’t care about his own people, he is pro-war, known for corruption feeding his own greed .. Unbelievable people support and believe his bs ??

I wish I was Canadian ❤, run by smart well spoken people who care about their citizens.

MAGA nuts don’t care what Trump does , long as it helps their selfish interests. Most Americans love Our neighbors . Trump and Vance are not friendly people , they are basically Adolf and Himmler reincarnation from another time. A time of great racial hate and greed. All MAGA wants is cheap energy , food , and get rid of anybody not like themselves ……Trump encourages these low brow people promising to eliminate anybody who doesn’t agree with his base of voting power. Trump,fancies himself a King and wants the world to bow down to his policies. He is one of the, we are many , let’s not let Trump copy Putin s Russia.nightmare.

We support our allies. Everyone, except possibly some Republicans, know Trump and Vance work for Putin, not the people. The rest of the Republicans in government, unfortunately, don’t care.

Thank you emphasizing the role of municipalities in this. Unlike other jurisdictions, in Canada municipalities are responsible for all transport infrastructure and utility infrastructure with the exception of major provincial highways, airports, and electricity and gas distribution systems. Meanwhile, Canadian municipalities can only levy property taxes and no income or sales taxes. Thus, Canadian municipalities governments are very attached to property owners, leading to the political conditions that make housing harder to build and new housing more expensive. The vast majority of the policies restricting housing supply and increasing costs of new housing, like development charges on new homes to fund infrastructure instead of taxing existing property owners, onerous and restrictive zoning regulations, and slow and expensive permitting processes all come from the cities. Honestly, for many city politicians it is to their advantage to make the crisis worse. Why wouldn’t a city councillor vote to raise development charges on building new homes instead of raising property taxes on existing homes to pay for stuff like replacing life expired sewer and road and subway infrastructure!? His constituents aren’t going to care about the costs of new homes, which affect people moving to the city or younger generations, which are either not yet residents of the city or too young to vote.

It isn't about fentanyl do you really think he cares about people and fentanyl hell no !!! So again what's the real reason Donald
