From the USA: Not everyone here follows a dictator even though he somehow managed to get a second term. Even worse than Trump are the people who still follow him. SORRY Canada...

USA has been carrying Canada for too long

Sounds like the tarrifs work. They definitely won't hurt USA. Read between tge lines folks

I wish Trudeau was the President of The United States! This guy is great and amazing. So much better than Old man Trump/Musk/Vance or whoever is really the President here in the USA?!!!

Give me a break he didn’t say one thing about balancing the trade deficit!!!\nThe USA has the highest trade deficit in the world with over 200 countries….\nOthers have made moves to fix the trade deficit just like Toyota did by building what they sell here in the USA ??

OH NO... The USA's supply of... Maple syrup.

Retaliatory tarrifs against USA are necessary, but a better impact would be achieved with significant but similar retaliatory increase in sanctions against Putin. In that way, Putin will be more likely to tell his boy to stop the attack against Canada.

Why not tariffs energy export to USA? Why don't you export energy direct to Europe and bypass USA? It's more effective and lead to decline Trump's approval

I hope y’all who voted for Trump are proud of yourselfs. And thank goodness I am not living in the USA.

I ❤️ Justin ?? .....He could be reading the phone book outloud and i would tune in. After the Million Women's March in 2017, i decided that the USA was a Providence in Canada, and I always long to hear from my trusted leader.

You Go Trudeau! Please let me move to CANADA…\nI don’t want to live in USA any more with these CRAZY people that are running our country for the next four years cry? please help me …….

I would prefer to live in Canada than the USA. So ashamed of this government. The words peace is just a word to get ahead of other countries and victimize themselves.

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.

Come on USA, stand up to Trump! Strength in numbers

USA is Dumbfukastan

Canada always been normal country. But what is now USA...

Looks like Trumps goal here is to bring Canada to its knees ( Trump is even trying to get Russian Aluminium to replace Canadian Alumininium) so he can make Canada go broke and beg to become the 51st state of the USA

very well said canada like. usa is acting dumb

he had no problems imposing tariffs on China but as soon as the USA does it to his country he gets all butt hurt about it. absolutely hilarious

Trump is purposefully destroying the USA economy. Ask yourself, what he has to personally gain from doing so! Disconnecting the country from its allies and trading partners and their economies will tank the economy. Again, ask yourself, if you wanted to destroy the economy and the government, what are the steps would you take?

It look likes Trump is destroying the USA from within. This must be the big dream of all the opponents of the free countries..

Mexico is standing with Canada, we will not let our countries be bullied by the USA. If you want to stop the drugs start by teaching your kids how to be happy without them.

Equality in protecting each other is a must. Mexico and Canada haven’t stopped illegal drugs from coming into their countries which then comes to the USA. Need to beef up your ports and international airports. Your border is safe because of the USA.

I was glad that not too long ago... Trump actually did say the truth to the American people: Canada imports 95% of it's goods from the USA... with us refusing to buy American, with all of us buying Canadian or International products instead... how will he be making America great again ?? By bankrupting the country ?? Does he thinks that 25% tariffs will make Canadians shake in their pants and all of a sudden want to be the 51st State ?? No, it's just like bringing us back to the days before NAFTA. We were able to live back then and we will be able to now as well.

Trafis = taxes. Trump is rising taxes, causing inflation, recession. Trump is the greatest crook. USA has to stop Trump. Americans are the 1 st victim of trump. He is making himself, musk, zuckerberg and all the mega rich more rich.\nThe normal American will be working slave to the neo nazi trump regime. A convicted crook, cheated on every wife he got, a pirate, a bully without friends. He is a low life. Vance a guy with colored hair and eyeliner, looks all the time like is is being potty trained .\nTrump got no deal with Putin. Putin does not listen to trump. It is a bluff. Trump is as bad as Putin. He is only interested to exploid Ukraine. \nAmericans you have to fight your worst and \n# 1enemy = trump and his boot lickers = neo nazis. The longer you wait, the more american families, veterans, economy, jobs have to suffer. Trup has no respect for Great Britain. He only would have liked to get his hands on the late Queens juwels.

Tell us USA people what to do to stop this?

If it isn't obvious to everyone by now, it should be. Trump works for Putin, not for the people of the USA.

This will put Canada in deep recession. The USA will have big inflation but not behind like Canada.

Why can't Canada invade the USA? Please, I want to be Canadian...

I love Canada.... Trudeau speaks so well and he is very professional at all times. This is a true model of what a president should be. Those clowns that we have in office ??are embarrassing on all levels. Hey President Trudeau, quick question... Would you like to be president of Canada and USA?

I’m wondering…since all that trump had implemented do not make sense to anyone, just WHAT is trump’s purpose in souring great ties with allies economically n militarily?? To align USA towards Russian goals??

USA and Russia are going to invade Canada

Everyone boycott usa goods

Every person in the USA needs to watch this speech

Were not worry here in the USA trust me?

We love you Canada , I am sorry for what we , the USA , is doing ! PLEASE forgive us .

Yay Canada\nNay usa\n-european

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

Donald Trump just conducted a strike on USA.

This is exactly why Putin did everything in his power to make sure Trump will be selected. Divide et Impera. Russians and Chinese definitely know how to do it. They know the only way USA and west will crumble is FROM INSIDE.

I live in the USA. I believe this is what needs to happen in order to show Trump just how terrible he is at his job. He is ruining our country. We love you, Canada. We are so sorry that the majority voted this buffoon into our government. It's embarrassing and it's scary.

Canada will fall long before the USA will.

Let that Canada PM spit ugly words. He only has a couple of months left as PM. Lmao we want 0% tarrifs also while Canada has always put Tariffs on USA. fuck Canada

Lol.\nIf you can't survive without the USA, I think it's time to be the 51st state !!!!

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

USA, take note, this is what a proper leader sounds like.

USA doesn’t need Canada. They need us

canada hurt USA?

I love a country where people can speak two languages seamlessly. Trump ordered that the language of USA is English only! How small…

USA!! USA!! USA!! ??????
