Are you talking about Canada or Australia? ? So many similar issues.

Australia ??stands with Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? \nTrump complains about Canada — but new data shows spike in U.S. drugs and guns coming north - CBC\nHumpty Dumpty is a psychopath and hypocrite \nMidterms2026 VOTE ? Special Elections start APR 1st Florida

Yes EVERYONE IN CANADA IS COSYING UP TO THE LYING MURDEROUS GENOCIDAL MANIC REGIME INSTALLED BY THE COMMONWEALTH OF BRITISH IMPERIAL DUCHEBAGS USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND ETCETERA IN PALESTINE. SO FCU* YOU & YOUR HONESTY & POLITENESS ?

Why can't you Canadians do business with your step brotheter and sisters from England. You folks are British anyway...Mr. Trump is the best president who is doing best for Americans. Canada, England, other British colonies like Australia gonna starve to death without American tycoons ...

Australia stands with CANADA and UKRAINE ????????

Well Canada, you should have bought 8 Virginia Class Submarines that won't be available for 20 years and be out of date by then for 365 Billion dollars like us morons in Australia ?

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

Canada you should have done a deal with UK, Australia and New Zealand and today you won’t be in this position. Why did you trust one country so much.

As an American, I find it insane that we are picking a fight with Canada. As far as I’m concerned, Canada, Australia and the UK are extended family. You don’t disrespect and threaten family like this.

Canada, Europe, Japan, Norway, Ukraine, New Zealand, S-Korea, UK, Australia, etc. - the New West

NO, NO, NO!!! NOT FRIEND\nUK, Europe, Australia and Canada's Governments are corrupt and cowardice they are collapsing by allowing Communist, Progressivism, illegals, Islamic hords and they have lost any decent value by stooping to the lowest Liberalism/Progressivism. They allow Muslims to murder and rape while treating their own citizens like criminals for speaking out against it... This is a treasonous Communist dictatorship and should be dissolved before the UK gives the evil Islamic state access to their nukes.

Canada+Australia+UK+New Zealand, CANZUK can become a formidable third-force. Binded by Westminster Parliamentary System, under the British Monarch; it can already become a superpower!

Absolute support here to Canada from Scotland UK, also representing South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. ?????????????????

being swedish growing up i always had good thoughts about Canada and Australia , and it just got alot bigger for Canada , what a great leader you have.\ntake care of this guy.

??????????❤ Europe, Ukraine, Canada, Australia & New Zealand ??

Support for Canada from Australia - Boycott US Made good and isolate the US from World Trade.

What an awful way to treat Canada - the USA should be ashamed of voting in the MAGA/Putin clown show. Does anyone know of a reliable list of Canadian consumer products? - I would like to think about that when I am shopping (in Australia).

From Australia, we respect you Canada, our brothers and sisters from a cooler climate. Trump is crazy.

Trump is doing this so he thinks Canada will fold and give their beautiful country to him! Stand strong Canada. We, in Australia, another Commonwealth country, are behind you ?

From Australia - we support Canada.

Australia is with Canada ????

You've got this Canada. Work with Australia & Britain. We're there for you too!

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.

I'm from New Zealand. I live in Australia ?? I stand with Canada ??

Australia will not purchase USA goods. We will support Canada.

Australia here - have you ever seen such a contrast between two countries’ leaders? Powerful speech from Canada v the rambling cr*p from next door?\nGood on you, Canada!

Trudeau is a very clear communicator. Australia is with you Canada. We're next.

Canada recognises its not the American people but the embarrassment in the white house thst is the problem. Respect and support from Australia ❤

Canada’s Retaliation Against the Smoot-Hawley Tariff (1930)\nOne of the most immediate and severe retaliatory responses to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff came from Canada, which was heavily dependent on trade with the United States. Canada was the largest export market for U.S. goods at the time, and when the U.S. imposed high tariffs on Canadian imports, Canada responded with its own punitive tariffs on American products.\n\nBackground: U.S.-Canada Trade Before Smoot-Hawley\nIn 1929, about 75% of Canadian exports went to the U.S.\nCanada was also a major supplier of lumber, wheat, cattle, and minerals to American markets.\nThe two economies were deeply intertwined, and Canada had traditionally followed a low-tariff trade policy with the U.S.\nCanada’s Response: Retaliatory Tariffs (1930)\nPrime Minister R.B. Bennett responded to Smoot-Hawley by raising tariffs on American goods, specifically targeting products from the U.S. Midwest and industrial centers.\nCanada increased tariffs on over 16 U.S. goods, including:\nFarm machinery\nAutomobiles\nFruits and vegetables\nTextiles\nThese tariffs redirected Canadian trade away from the U.S. and toward Britain and other Commonwealth nations, under a new imperial preference system.\nEconomic Consequences\nFor the United States:\n❌ Sharp decline in U.S. exports to Canada\n\nU.S. exports to Canada dropped by 55% between 1929 and 1932.\nAmerican automobile and farm equipment industries suffered severe losses.\nMany Midwest farmers, who had relied on Canadian sales, went bankrupt.\n❌ Loss of a major trading partner\n\nCanada sought alternative suppliers in Britain, Australia, and other Commonwealth nations.\nThis permanently weakened U.S.-Canada economic ties, forcing the U.S. to reconsider its trade policies.\nFor Canada:\n✅ Diversification of Trade\n\nCanada strengthened trade ties with Britain and other Commonwealth countries.\nCanadian exports to Britain increased, helping Canada avoid complete economic collapse.\n❌ Short-term economic pain\n\nWhile Canada successfully retaliated, the tariffs raised prices for Canadian consumers.\nThe Canadian economy still suffered from the global depression, but it recovered faster than the U.S. by diversifying trade.\nLong-Term Impact\nPermanent Shift in Canadian Trade Policy\n\nCanada moved away from dependence on the U.S. and pursued closer economic ties with Britain.\nThis weakened U.S. economic influence in Canada for decades.\nRepeal of Smoot-Hawley and the Start of U.S. Trade Liberalization\n\nThe failure of Smoot-Hawley contributed to the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act (1934) under Franklin D. Roosevelt, which lowered tariffs and encouraged bilateral trade deals.\nU.S.-Canada trade eventually recovered, but the economic damage lasted for years.\nConclusion\nThe U.S. intended to protect its industries, but Smoot-Hawley backfired by provoking Canada’s retaliation. This case study highlights how tariffs can damage relationships with key trading partners, disrupt industries, and reduce exports, ultimately harming the economy.

Trump managed to piss off Canada, a country that literally has no issues with anyone, like how do you do that? Canada is like the nice popular girl out of the popular girls group. Like she knows she’s pretty and popular but is humbled about it . And when her friends bully you, she stands up for you. Only trump can manage to piss off someone like that off. From Australia, we stand with you Canada!

Yes this must be totally embarrasing to the us citazins to see usa supporting russia over its allies in all of europe.. japan.. australia.. and od course canada.

From Australia - with you Canada and Ukraine all the way!

Bravo Canada ?? .. unfortunately no matter what he says , trump and his sheep won’t believe or listen to a word this brilliant leader is saying .. good luck Canada from Sydney Australia ??

Come on Canada.. its time Americas allies give America back a little.\nThey can have Russia and North Korea.\n\nThe UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and China can get together and have our own agreements

Its a tragic turn in history; US + Russia, smh. Canada go trade with us in Europe and Australia, we love you! ❤??????\nAnd to all the americans that didn't want this, take care and get rid of him fast!

Canada needs to get together with EU, Mexico, UK, Australia, Japan, etc. to prevent depression. Together we can manage through these dark times. EU countries will buy ALL of the oil, gas and minerals that Canada can sell. Europe is energy and resource hungry.

Respect to Canada, we all stand with you. Brave coming out on the front foot like you have. I do have to add, it is not the American government alone, it’s the American people who voted Trump in. How the mighty have fallen. Making enemies with all the democracy countries around the world. I’m Danish born, living in Australia. Civil war is very likely as many republicans now see that America is isolating themselves to create a dictatorship. Us vs the world mentality. Politics has never been more entertaining. China is set to be the new world leader, I can’t see it any other way. The timeline has moved forward beyond belief.

Australia stands with Canada, this is a shameless act by America

It’s time to bring the team back together Canzuk. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

You go Trudeau. ✨ People always asked me if I could live in any other country other than India, I always chose Canada, and this is after migrating to Australia when I was younger. The US under Trump would be the last place on earth I'd ever want to go.

Trudeau is a WEF idiot. His dictatorial crackdown during covid was second only to Australia. \nHow and why people listen to,or believe anything he says is beyond me. Canada is beautiful and the vast majority of its people are wonderful but Trudeau is... Really !

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

Not a trade war, increasing taxes for their country. If you don't want to pay, buy somewhere else. United States is securing global peace by developing relations with Russia. Murderous dictator, America has blood on their hands invading other countries, same with Canada, my (stupid) country Australia etc. I thought this clown resigned.

From a fellow Commonwealth country Australia ??here, totally support Canada ??. Trump is a wannabe dictator and referring to Prime Minister Trudeau, whether you agree with his politics or not, as a “Governor” is not only disrespectful to PM Trudeau but to all Canadians. In the same way Trump disrespected Zelenskyy. This president and the current GOP has no shame. Do not back down Canada!

It is vital to create a new organization for commerce that unites all the countries that are being threatened by Trump. Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, UK, South Korea, and contries that are willing to fight against trump tariffs. Working together is more than necessary to create a competitive and sustainable economic environment

Omg the start of this speech has covered everything I know about Canada lol “US largest partner, reasonable, polite” lol\nAlso Australia better have bulls like this guy if it comes to it, I like his play

From Australia. Wasting your time Canada. The US don't care anymore. Their boy Trump is what they want. Got him in twice. Have to go with the will of the people.

From Australia supporting Canada ?? and Ukraine ?? ❤️

i'm from australia and i have relatives in canada. i visit them regularly. i feel sad that from now on the cost to visit and stay in canada would most likely become more expensive.

We can get everything we get from Canada from Australia, the only country with a trade surplus with the US. ?? ??
