But what was trump taking about when he said we give them billions of dollars of free money every year I believe that’s why we got here us Americans are wiping everyone’s ass and when the toliet paper runs out we have to buy more we want you guys to start buying us toliet paper wipe our ass

The dummies in this country need to feel it, before they will believe it. So this will be a tough lesson for us americans.

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Thank you Canada for fighting back against my country's government. Our bullies for a bully and we tried to warn them all this would happen but they didn't believe us. Heartbreaking.

I detected NO LIES........... please don't say AMERICANS because all of us don't AGREE with the American dictator! So glad I BELIEVE IN GOD! everything this man said is CORRECT! GOD HELP US??

It disgusts me so much how stupid the Americans could be to elect this rubbish! At the same time, I learned a lot: I always wondered how the Nazis came to be here - now I know! Lies and shit-talk and people will believe you! It makes me sad and angry that we humans are apparently NOT able to learn. \n \nOnce again, it hits US little people the hardest: Trump, Weidel and all their names are playing golf and denying royally and we are in trouble. \n \nI wonder how much longer we want to watch this?

The USA: Canada's 11th province? As a US citizen, I believe that this would be an improvement at this point.

The same hypocrits who screamed Russian collusion, who said masks stop the spread of covid, the same people who said America should allow ilegals come thru our borders , the same people who said Jan 6 was an organized insurrection to keep Trump in power, the same America traitors who told us Antifa and BLM riots who burnt our cities were peaceful and that those who were let in the Capitol on Jan 6 were insurrentionists. The same people who wants us to believe there are unlimited genders and that kids can decide their gender and surgically reverse their biology. The same people who told us 2020 elections were legit and wanted to believe that 82 millions actually voted for Biden, the same people who said Trump would get us in world wars....only the idiots believe you!!

I’m in US and it’s so bad here, I can’t believe ppl voted for Trump. So PROUD OF U CANADA ??

nice try Canada and we the people love you. but we've had half the country brainwashed by a russian operative and his rich weirdo nazi-wannabe's. and the under educated have been lied to endlessly into believing this is good somehow. ? when we figure our shit out we'll come back and ask for your friendship again. really, people of canada, it hurts so many of us to be doing this to the world. im so sorry.

Trump is dissolving our alliances that are not in line with Russia. I believe that Putin and trump are going to combine Russia and the united states as one monarchy and work to destabilize china as a superpower. There will be no freedom. Every headline we see is a distraction from every chiseled piece of our rights slowly being pulled away from us as US citizens. We will become complicit servants to a broken fascist system where our biggest rewards for being alive will be bread crumbs.

I have been a pro-America citizen for almost 79 years, but our administration is dead wrong. Canada is the best neighbor we could possibly have, and we have slapped them in the face. This administration loves authoritarian leaders and dismisses the interests of our long-time friends and allies. Why would we ever believe our president when he promises to make life better for us. He does not care for any of us, unless we are one of the few with money and/or power.

I can't believe Americans betrayed us ?

Mr trudeau, I believe you are clearly more intelligent than that idiot who runs the country next to you. I think you should annexe the 50 states of the the US. ?

you are a fool if you believe canada will bring america to its knees with these pointless tariffs lol. it will hurt Canada 100x more than it does the US

This is only the beginning. The pressure for Canada to accept becoming an US state will get to levels you guys don't even imagine now. He will go as far as invading you and take you by force. He wamts your huge territory and resources. Unless the congress impeaches him, you will be taken by force. I know this sounds crazy but, considering everything that's happening in the world, his desire to pull out of Europe etc, I believe he sees Canada as an easy huge territory to annex. And he thinks nothing can stop him.

Your using facts!'MAGA doesn't understand facts. MAGA only believes in the lies and BS that their orange lord and his propaganda fox news network feed them. They either don't want to fact check there orange lord or they just out in out want to egnore the facts all together. Ram it to us Canada, we are the idiots that sent our orange piece of crap dictator to Washington. What is really frightening is the fact that MAGA erased our system of checks and balances. Both houses of our government are now made up of to many trump cult clones that are to afraid to go up against our orange turd dictator, for fear that their MAGA constituents will vote them out of office. He also stacked the Supreme Court with MAGA justices the last time he was president. So we are screwed! There aren't enough people in our government to reel the orange turd and his next generation of swamp rats in.

Thank you for telling the truth about DJT and all those that enable him! Half our country, thanks to FOX, believes DJT is great. The rest of us do not and want him, MAGA, SCOTUS and the GOP gone!!

O bs. Does anyone actually believe Trudeau anymore? Canada already have tariffs on US goods. Clearly they have not done enough yet on dropping these, plus fentanyl and immigration, so Trump is driving the point home.\nImposing counter-tariffs is like a monty python joke.

I cannot believe on his last days as PM, he finally started fighting fentanyl, under the threat of tariffs and he wonders why they still put them in place. It’s probably because they want to make sure that he keeps doing what he should have done for Canadians along time ago. But trump should not keep the tariffs in place after Justin is gone it will only hurt both us Canadians and Americans.

This trade war has nothing to do with fentanyl, Trump is a turncoat aka treasonous person who has been working with Russia all along and is using any and all excuses to cause people to look at anything else but him as he lines the pockets of his billionaire buddies because America gave him that when they said a president can't be charged for anything they do while serving in the White house. Thanks a lot supreme court and to all those that voted for him...... I hope you all get deported and lose all your money for putting us Normal non radicalized Americans through h3!!. It's insane how people are so blined that they know he lies and is a criminal and when hit with hard facts he calls it fake news and they all believe it. My own mother in law is one too. I hate this

Tariffs make no sense!! Which leads me to believe trump is tanking the stock market on purpose so that the rich can buy the dip!! That or trump just wants to prove everyone wrong and proof that his tariff theory will work for US!! What a ?

From Ireland, well done Canada. We cannot believe that Trump got in. Watching the US unravel is scary. We stand with Ukraine, Europe and Canada

As an American and stock investor, I firmly believe that Canada should just ban the export of goods, services and energy products to the US and increase their trade with other countries with the condition that trade will be unbanned once the entire GOP is removed from political power in all three branches of the US. They would be removed either willingly or not within days if not hours.

Listen folks. They are serving themselves and communism. I ask US military not to listen to orders from Trump..Musk etc...they lie. I do not believe the cartels will attack US and to be so stupid but I do believe Trump will lie use it as a excuse to attack Mexico. I hear he has been sending military and equipment to the border

Excellent speech! I believe that all US Tarif affected countries and regions should seek a closer economic cooperation. The world is much bigger than the US and I'm confident that there are other opportunities to be found. By the way, I watched an interview with Chrystia Freeland this morning. She had an interesting suggestion: put 100% Tarifs on Tesla cars. Excellent suggestion that caries a strong message the US government!

American here. Sad and dismayed at all this, hoping my Canadian friends believe that not all of us are on board. Trudeau shines here as a true leader- you guys are fortunate

Thank you PM Trudeau! I am a US citizen, residing in a predominantly red state(NC). I do not believe for one moment that our President is the least bit concerned with illegal drugs crossing from your country. I am very concerned about what is happening in my country.

The man (Trump) attacks our allies and long time friends and cozies up to our long time adversaries who have no history of warmth with the US. Of all the people of the world to attack, Canada and the UK, our strongest allies EVER. Then launches verbal assaults on the victim of an invasion and war atrocities. Trump is just about stealing candy from a baby and giving it to a bully with a smile on his face! But then has far right media sugar coat it so that MAGA will believe he's doing something good and right.

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

The End of an Worldsuperpower.... didnt believe to see it in my lifetime... but this is definetly is the end of US Leadership... irrepairable damage... no trust anymore

What a nice speech but nobody believes u sir you are a liar a democrat operative we don’t need shit you have that bad how long can ur country hold out sir u need us we don’t need u your about to find out. New sheriff in town buddy

For the first time in my life, I believe a foreign leader more than the US president. Sad state of affairs. The US is broken.

We cannot trust or believe in what Trump Admin says to us Americans. Please people this is not good for us to be moving this direction. We don't have time on our side here to wait while half of our country blindly follows Trump off the cliff as he plays his tune and yall skip to the music with eyes n ears closed to anything else. I don't want to go down with all of you!

I hope that Canadians know we didn’t all vote for this president. He is an embarrassment to the rest of us. He did say he likes stupid voters because they believe whatever I tell them.

Believe me, the majority of the American people do not agree with this administration and Trump’s garbage. He is absolutely the worst and dumbest person ever sit in the Oval Office. So we have to suffer this man’s postering and aligning with Putin because some idiotic people believe him. So please punish us, we deserve it.

Canadian here too. Thank most of you americans for this outpouring of support, and seems many from both sides of the aisle. \n\nFor my part? I do believe you have a russian asset as president now. Even the freaking Russians just came out and said US policy is now aligning with Russias own. Hes abandoning an ally in Ukraine unless Ukraine gives an unconditional surrender to a guy who says he is not interested in any deals, and broke his OWN TRADE AGREEMENT stopping just short of actual war with Canada and Mexico. Our own PM as you hear, says Trumps goal is to destroy our economy and annex this country. \n\nYou have a russian asset in the seat folks. \n\nDo something about it.

Why is it that everyone outside of America has an expectation on how we should be that benefits them. This can has been kicked down the road for multiple decades. The waste, fraud, and abuse we are uncovering in the government. The situation with NATO and Ukraine and no one can fix their problems or issues without the US. We have aggressive homelessness, poverty, poor education system, high taxes, and a government that in the past has done nothing but pimp our tax dollars out just for kickbacks. Everyone is pissing and moaning about our domestic problems while also having an extremely high bar on the international stage. I have never received aid from the UN, never receive money from other countries, nor assistance. Is no one in America tired of this? Here we are talking about Bourbon tax….lol. A great reset needs to happen and though I do not like it, it is happening and I am here for it. BTW I love Canada and Mexico and believe at best that if we pull out of NATO I would still hope we can have an Americas/Mexico treaty.

MAGA Bumper Sticker - We don't need facts because Chump tells us what to believe.

WOW - if they are in friendly Canada, and want to enter the xenophobic US. Hard to believe.

HERE WE GO I HEARD SO LONG AGO THAT SOME PEOPLE ENTERING TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TRHU CANADIAN BIRDERS THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING MOST OF THIS PEOPLE FROM INDIA,CHIN ,JAPAN AND PEOPLE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST REGION THAT IS A BIG PROBLEM BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND CANADA AND THE ONES WHO CONTROL THIS ELEGAL PEOPLE SOME OF THEM ARE ON SOUTH AMERICA LIKE PERU,ECUADOR, COLOMBIA AND EVENFROM ARGENTINA AND CHILE AND THE ONE WHO BRING PEOPLE FROM EUROPE SOME OF THEM ARE POLISH MAFIA PALESTINIANS WHO WERE BORN IN GERMANY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO BE AWARE, BECAUSE IS NOT ONLY PEOPLE FROM CENTRAL AMERICA OR SOUTH AMERICA, BUT PEOPLE WHO COMES FROM EUROPE ARE BRING IN BY THE CARTELS OF SOUTH AMERICA JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THEY WERE LEADERS OF THE MS 13 AND THE 18 MARAS FROM EL SALVADOR THE PROBLEM IS BIG IN OUR COUNTRY HAS BECOME THE EYES OF THE CARTELES, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IS A GOOD REVENUE FOR THEM. \nGOD BLESS YOU MR.DONAL TRUMP PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND GOD BLESS MR.TOM HOMAN FOR THE GOOD WORK BEE STARED BUT IS SOMETHING IN BEHALF OF ALL OF US WHO LIVES HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO DO TO CUT ALL KIDS OF AID TO THOSE CITIES WHO CALL THEM SELFS SANTUARY CITIES GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO WHAT THIS GUY HE BELIEVE HE US OR WHAT HE WANTS TO PROVE THE HE IS THE SUPER MAYOR AND RUN AGAIN FOR MAYOR I WILL TELL YOU THIS SOME MUSLIMS MUST HAS TO BE BEHIND HIM MAYBE BARACK OBAMA BECAUSE THIS GUY OBAMA CAME FROM NO WHERE AND WENT UP TO THE WHITTE HOUSE, SOME MUSLIMS LEADERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ARE THE ONES WHO PUT BERACK OBAMA AS A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MOST OF THIS BLACK GUYS WHO ARE THE OWNERS OF BUSINESS HERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE NOT CHRISTIANS THEY ARE MUSLIMS JUST BE REAL CARFULL WITH THEM, BECAUSE O SAW TO MANY BEAUTIFUL CHINESE GIRLS BROUGHT TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ELEGAL AND GOT TOGETHER WITH BLACK GUYS HOW BECAUSE THERE IS A BLACK CARTEL TO REMEMBER WHEN THE CHICAGO BULLS BECAME CHAMPIONS 5 TIME REMEMBER ALL THE DAMAGE THAT WAS HERE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO WELL THIS WAS ORGANIZED BY BLACK LEADERS, MUSLIMS AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHERS. \n❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Why would anyone need sanctuary from Canada to the US. I don't believe that this true.

The NGO's funding this illegal activity (STILL) might want to check their bank balances. The bills will no longer be paid on the backs of the hardworking US taxpayer! I cannot believe that anyone with half a brain is still working for these organizations. We the People have had enough!! Veterans and US citizens/US families on the street... Yet illegals are staying in former 4-5 star hotels... ?? NOPE!

If you believe in the God of Israel that land was given to the Israelites by God allowing them to go and inherit it because those people were worshiping false gods, but since Israel also fell into idolatry and at times didn’t trust in God , God handed them over to enemies , as a Christian we know what will happen in the future because the Bible tells us that although Israel is in disobedience, God still has promises for the Jews.

Make no mistake, the democrats and Rinos have done this for 3 reasons- 1. To destabilize our country (chaos/ bankruptcy), votes, with an end goal of a One World Government. They have been telling us this for decades, don't believe me go back through c-span and listen for yourself. It's all Bush Sr. talked about.

Foreign people from the Middle East especially India they fly to Mexico City and then fly into Canada as a visitor but then they never leave and a lot of them enter the US illegally Canada is a mess some parts of Canada you would not believe you are in Canada

If America were as Fascist as Js would have us believe, all these people would have been shot and disappeared into the snow.

THIS ??ian would like to let Trump know how appreciative and thankful we are for him forcing our fuhrer to lock down the border better. BUT, don't be fooled. The leading 'party' use a heavier hand than ANY mob and make tones of $$ with it wide open! The plan to destroy us from the inside out is still going on here - FULL TILT! I am so thankful it's come to a STOP for our Amerifriends. I believe electing that common sense man into office didn't just save you, but has saved MANY countries. Possibly the ? ! Now, if he could ONLY figure out how to hit J.T WITHOUT hurting us Canuks! There ARE ways! Many ways TRUST! \n<--Go MAPLE ? MAGA! \nLET'S MAKE ?? CANADIAN AGAIN! ❤

Believe me, anyone who is already in Canada doesn't want to go south. Canada is having problems with people coming north from the US. That's really why we beefed up our border. We tell Americans the opposite because the one who are on threads like this one, are too stupid to tell the difference lol.

WAKE UP AND MAN-UP AMERICA! \nProtest don't just happen; they are planned, funded, and organized. These few protests are organized by the NEO-MARXIST COMMUNISTS (including 78 democrats, who are members of the Communist party of the US). \n \nThese communist democrats are an absolute threat to our constitution and nation, their agenda is to dismantle our republic, and constitution and replace it with a socialist system! History has shown that socialism does NOT work. Where there is socialism there is CENSORSHIP, corruption, poverty, totalitarianism, and torture. \n \nThe communist democrats, in their arrogance think they know what is better for the people. We, the real WORKING-CLASS American’s have not been on the streets, we are too busy putting bread on the table. However, our patience is wearing thin with the Marxist democrats, their lies, and their woke agenda! \n \nWhat the democrats have been doing with tax payers’ money is more sinister than “waste, fraud, and abuse.” THE Neo-Marxist (COMMUNIST) DEMOCRATS were using this extensive bureaucracy (aka “independent agencies”) to backdoor our constitution by implementing certain laws through certain agencies, and moving black funds through these entities to fund Marxist programs. \n \nThese agencies either need to be shut down or brought under the executive function. The communist democrats are pissed because their deliberate dismantling of our constitution was discovered, and now is being reversed. They are traitors (Bernie Sanders. AOC, Ilhan Omar, and others) who should be jailed, now. \n \nAnyone who does not believe in the constitution of the USA; leave our country and leave now! When we the people hit the streets, it will be in the tens of thousands. And we will roll over the neo-Marxist wokers like a tsunami. Socialism will never happen in the USA; socialism will never replace our constitution. WE LOVE TRUMP! He is a PATRIOT! \nMAN-UP America.
