MAN..,, you’re living in a fantasy world if you truly believe everything you said, and apparently no one you know is affected by the atrocities done not to mention national security, which protects us against all enemies! The veterans who fought for us! The seniors who worked hard for their Social Security! And the aid not only for foreign but for all Americans! Do you want Ebola to get here from Uganda? And what they’re doing to our children education and necessary, medical aid, and

Only 4 hours have passed and this aged like milk. Zalensky on his way back to make the mineral deal and sue for peace with Putin. Sorry to the war mongering bloodthirsty hethens out there that we're getting hard thinking about World War 3. The world is choosing peace, and its thanks the Donald Trump.

Ohio has SO many Canadian products and gas stations. It's going to get VERY hard, very quickly. Hang in there Canada. The majority of America stands with you❤

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

Does this dude know fentanyl is used in every hospital and serves a legitimate medical purpose ? he’s so far up his ass it’s hard to find his intellect

Trump is the antichrist. Pray ppl and pray hard to our Lord Jesus crist son of God our saviour king of kings. Because the antichrist is here . Please Pray ? ? may our Lord bless you all frend and fow.

It’s hard to believe an American government siding with Russia and punishing some of their best and closest allies and friends.

we Canadians despise this blackface Trudeau \na little info on this socialist mascot \nJustin Trudeau's corrupt and unqualified government has increased the Canadian federal debt by more than all previous Canadian governments in history combined.\nHis track record displays complete incompetence, with literally no substantial accomplishments in eight years. He is morally empty, completely corrupt, and ignorant. His arrogance is disgraceful, but it's typical behaviour for narcissists.\nHe has legalized hard drugs and issues them out for free. He encourages citizens to end their lives if they feel depressed, by promoting his assisted dying program. He has also increased the catch and release of repeat violent offenders.\nHe Used the Emergencies Act to Lock Up Protesters and Freeze Bank Accounts\nHe Has Multiple Cases of Direct Illegal Interference with the Justice System\nJustin Trudeau is a master of failure. Turn the page, shut down the committee, fire the Attorney General, throw fellow cabinet ministers under the bus, lie, shift the blame, and accuse your opposition of the very crime you're committing.\ni can keep going

I hope all the Maganuts and die-hard Republicans that bend a knee to a despicable wannabe tyrant Commander in Cheats, who only shines in one color, Orange, feel the pain of voting for a liar and cheat when these stupid tariffs come stumbling down on businesses that support EL Pendejo. This piece of Dongbeetle fodder does not represent all Americans, and for that, I wholeheartedly apologize to our Canadian friends. Our elected buffoon wants every one to kiss his feet like his hand picked minions, unlike Zelensky, who told him to take a long walk off a short pier.

American here and I stand with Canada ?The world is going to hit back hard against our country because Trump arrogance

The Orange Reich makes us the worst neighbor.\nWe fought it but couldn't overcome the vote suppression, per psychiatrists media brainwashing, and hundreds of millions billionaires spent on electing the Mad Orange Dictator so he would enrich them and hurt the other 99.9999997% of us and the world.\nCanada, please strike hard and call his bluff by making his supporters feel the insanity of his promises to hurt them and you. \nIf we can still vote next year, we'll switch the majority in Congress. \nThe majority of people here know you are a wonderful neighbor who has sent troops to fight with us in war, took in tens of thousands on 9/11, sent an extra Super Scooper to help during the LA fires, and been our best trading partner. \nI'm so sorry.\nP.S. Has anyone else noticed that MOD looks extra orange right now?

This shit is gonna hit as hard as covid on the economy.

Donny F'd around with tariffs against Canada,now,he's getting ready to find out,the hard way.

It’s an important wake-up call for Canadians—less focus on encouraging domestic hard drug consumption and merely selling raw materials, and more on producing value-added goods. We should reinvest in small, innovative Canadian businesses with less bureaucracy.

Trudeau has worked hard the last 10 years to putting us Canadians down the toilet with rising taxes and driving industry out of the country to the US.. Makes me smile seeing Trump give him a good spanking.

I love Canadians. They are sweet, kind, funny, hard working people. I have worked with them plenty. I apologize to our Northern neighbor, and I am so, so sorry this ugliness is being thrown at you. I did not vote for it and never have supported the rapist, felon. Trudeau is an example of a good, stable (Genius...ha ha) leader, who is speaking clearly with adult vocabulary, who is not out to injure anyone yet who is standing up strong for his own people. Him speaking directly to US citizens made me tear up, if only we had this kind of leader.

This is going to be so ugly and hard on us regulars while the rich laugh at what is happening on the monopoly board.

I think Americans are going to have to learn the hard way that we voted in a terrible man who is even more unrestrained than the first time. The best outcome of this lose-lose situation for Republican voters is to feel the financial pain of Trump's actions. Maybe it can disillusion his cult following of heedlessly surrendering their voting power to him. With enough opposition pressured on Republicans in Congress, they may finally find a backbone and stand up for all Americans while the Democrats twiddle their thumbs.

Canada should hit Trump real hard with their natural resource.

Here's the view from over in Scotland. It seems that people who cast their vote for Trump are going to have to learn the hard way. Canada is not going to be Trump's Ukraine.

Americans are going to have to learn the hard way how stupid they were by electing two dishonest spoilt brats into the White House. Putin's Puppets,

Sorry but us middle class Americans are sick and tired of wasting OUR hard earned money.

Justin don’t beg him, be firm and hard on him

I am a Canadian, and i don't like the tariffs, but our government taxes us too much, and are taking our hard earned dollars, funding wars, and and giving it away to refugees and welfare recipients

Every problem is global. Fetal posittion is hardly the solution

I'm happy that Canada show some backbone back ! Trump is a bully and prays on the weak ! You must be hard to not get targeted

I am an American standing with Ukraine and Canada if anyone can stop this War it will be Canada and Ukraine and many other Countries standing up for Ukraine we have alot of bullies in our Country the USA especially Trump and I hope it all comes back and bites him in the ass and he goes down real hard he is a number 1 Moran

White House occupants destroy everything US worked so hard since it was founded. SHAME SHAME SHAME???

Trump's playing hard ball with Canada and the hockey game won't be pretty

White House occupants destroy everything US worked so hard since it was founded. SHAME SHAME SHAME???

I am an American, please stand together. Our country is not and I am sure it shows. We here in the states need to gain control of our Rogue Government and it will not be easy. Many of our citizens have been removed from the voting roles and many politicians have been bribed or threaten into submission. We have a hard road ahead to gain back our country ... please remember, most Americans understand and would not choose to harm any of our friends and neighbors.

This is just ridiculous...like life was not hard enough for people now all this shit

Buy American all day every day.\nNot that hard.\nSupport American workers, buy made in the USA and American Agriculture.

How hard is it to move to Canada? By the way, Trump is NOT a smart guy.

The problem is, that most Trump voters would hardly ever watch this, prisoners as they are of their own imaginary bubbles and propaganda TV, though not all are necessarily brainless twats as their idol.

I’m just so sad and that the current american administration is trying so hard to make us hate each other! \n\nWhen things get bad, in a couple of weeks or months for both of us. Trump and his media Will absolutely blame Canada, not just for trying to defend itself, but for all of it. He Will try to make americans hate us so much so he can get something out of it and thats so wrong.\n\nI have so many memories of traveling to the US and meeting great people there. I don’t want it to end and I want to remember that most americans are our friends, good people who don’t wish harm to others.\n\nI really Hope reason and good people Will prevail, I Hope je won’t bête allowed to continue down this path for long, I Hope the congress or anyone will stand up for whats right. Courage!

Nothing is going to happen to America,I promise you…no hard feelings,only business

No it is NOT hard to believe this is going on. When you elect a criminal who floats the rule of law and the Constitution, this is exactly what you should expect. I don't believe for one instant that the politicians in the Republican party and a good number in the Democrat party did not see this coming, althpugh the Republicans who anticipated it wanted it and the Democrats didn't.

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!

Respect from Australia, this is exactly what Canada should do, stand up to this bully. I don't think you should bother trying to negotiate with him, Trump is a liar and a fool and talking to him is a waste of time, he's too stupid to understand. When the US slaps you, slap them back. I sincerely hope to see Mexico respond in the same way, slap Trump back twice as hard.\n\nIf the US wants to go kissing Putins ass, go on, but don't try to force the rest of us to kiss his ass with you.\nIf the US wants to find savings in government #DefundElonMusk a filthy rich man receiving government aid, he's sucked up $38 billion, that's government waste in the extreme.

Trudeau please annex California Im old worked hard as a Tax Acct and to be in your presence You Care and statesmen with Empathy ps i studied French and can do Taxes

IT HAS STARTED...NOW ALL THESE NATION WILL RETALIATE HARD...WAIT FOR THE EUROPEANS TO HIT THE US ECONOMY LIKE NO COUNTRY WILL BE ABLE TO

lol he trying to act hard dude is shitting his pants right now

He makes me proud to be Canadian, and make no mistake, trump won’t win this war…it’s not just us, the EU just announced €800 billion in retaliatory tariffs. Mexico is also hitting back hard..the only winner of this trade war is the super wealthy, but that won’t last, when we all refuse to buy any of the products that benefit them. The best way to hurt the rich, is by turning them into poor people!

It makes sense, Trump wants to align the US with Russia & China. It’s not that hard.

I voted for Trump and a lot of his policies and actions I agree with, THIS one I do not, Canada did not let in NEARLY as many illegal immigrants as Mexico so it makes no sense why he is punishing them, and he isn't, he just doesn't like Trudeau probably because he was friends or friendly with Biden, same with Zelensky AND Canada wanted to ban products from red states for electing him which is frankly just a stupid policy. \nThis is not hard to figure out, Trump doesn't like Trudeau and Ford, plain and simple......it really is THAT shallow, he is trolling Trudeau by calling them the 51st state and anyone know knows Trump and how he thinks knows that.

In truth Kamala Harris won, but cheating through vote suppression enabled Donald Trump to become president. Even so, had the election not been close, Trump would never have been president again. It's good for Trump voters to feel pain for their choices, the boomerang has come back to hit them in the head. ? They only learn the hard way.

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

I wish I could live in Canada I'm sure it's really hard to get citizenship now
