Get ready for this country's name change to United States to North America since it's going to a dictatorship direction. The boarders aren't to keep immigrants out. It's to keep us from escaping, putting us in the same situation as North Korea. I also don't put it past that fentanyl is being supplied by the U.S. government the same way the CIA did it in contra-crack. Ladies and gentlemen we are going to be in a civil war soon because of this man and his group. Trump's presidency must end quickly.

If I were Canada I'd start building a wall to keep the Americans out. S***'s going south here real quick. This time next year we're all going to be speaking Russian.

Yall should have never let Tramp back in office. He is mad that all those legal convictions were brought against him. This is his pay back. Yall keep putting a criminal in office.

Dear Sane people of the US, please keep fighting against this lunacy! Greetings from Germany

I’ve been more afraid of being an American Citizen than I’ve ever thought conceivable. But more so I’m ashamed, ashamed that my fellow citizens voted in that monstrosity and his bottom feeder cabinet members and ‘friends’. Ashamed that the rest of us didn’t apparently work hard enough to keep him out.

Keep your crap. I don't eat bacon, i don't drink your water. Canada and your overzealous gun laws can freeze in the ice-cold mountain. All you have done is nothing but cry like a child.

Nice ? Poor Donald keeps forgetting to do his daily gratitude journal and this is what happens. All jokes aside, how does someone get to be 80 years old and not have a clue?

Europe is United to keep out Putin and us and their facist. Tech bros Vance theil musk. We don’t want you Block us tech

Trump's tariffs justification claiming fentanyl is like the Bush administration justification of war for weapons of mass destruction. Republican Playbook to fool the unthinking masses. If it works keep using it. We'll find the truth a decade later after a fact finding commission like the Iraq weapons of mass destruction.

As a Canadian I’m boycotting as many US goods as I can. My many likeminded US friends, don’t give up hope - keep resisting this current US administration! ??

Good on ya Canada. Trudeau is best. What a great dude. I would love you guys to join the EU. Keep up the great work

I am extremely saddened and embarrassed by our president's actions. Seeing what Donald Trump has done in the past and is doing now, I pray for him and other world leaders every day. Their political choices matter. I did not vote for Trump, his first nor second term. He did so much harm during his last presidency that fueled so much division. And yes, Vladimir Putin is absolutely playing him, and he can not see that. I'll keep on praying, and leave it in God's hands. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico.

Keep your garbage in your country too buddy

How did he keep a straight face when he called Trump smart

All of the head of state all over the world, please keep away from America for the next 4 years. \nLet Donald do his self-inflicted damage to his country by himself. \nThe world can survive without the hand out from America.

What a dunce. Get this guy outta the discussion. He just wants to keep milking the US and Canada for his own status. Thank god clowns have a ceiling in politics. Screw you Treudue. You're the spawn of communist Fidel Castro from swinger parents who put your strings on at birth to make you a global puppet.

Why does this reporter keep saying the prime minister is using “harsh language “?!?! He’s sounds calm and not harsh at all.

I am one of the millions of Americans who despise Donald Trump. He and his MAGAts are ignorant fools. Keep up the good work, Canada!\n\nI would be thrilled to migrate north to you, although you are probably being overwhelmed by inquiries from other Americans eager to do the same.

Isn't Trudeau the same guy who invited a real Ukrainian Nazi WW 2 veteran in his nation? Um yeah. Isn't Trudeau the same guy who wore black face in college? Yes he did it \n Isn't Trudeau the same fascist who stole working class Canadians during COVID bullshit? Yes \n Ok keep it real, Trump's a duchebag like Biden and as a independent voter in America I'm just saying we get the shit sandwich lemmings in both nations voted for or were the only options allowed

Trudeau is a good one. Keep him canadians ??

Bravo Trudeau. I agree with you. Totalment d'accord avec vous. Keep going Canada ❤??????

Castros love child and Zelenskyy are the dictators in this world. Go ahead and talk your talk. We in the US will no longer foot the bill for keeping Canada safe. Good luck Canada!

America can keep their goods.\n Trump has created all this and the rest of the world should wash their hands of Trump's deals.\n\nThe American people should be going crazy because of the power they have given Trump.\n\nCrazy times

Go Canada! Let's all unite to keep our country.

Europe is with you, Canada! The free world needs to band together against tyrants. We will survive by facing evil together, hand in hand (no homo), head-on. I'm proud of you Canadians! Keep it up!

Wow! Sweden here. I stand by Canada. This is how a true leader speaks. What Trump is doing is irrational and he still don’t seem to understand how tariffs works. He’s hurting his own people with yet another effort to break down all alliances around the world. He threatens Europe, Palestine, Greenland, Mexico and many more. He cuts funding for Ukraine and aline with Russia. He managed in a month to crash so many lives in his own country and do not keep promises from his campaigns. How can one man destroy so much….

DUMB is the one word he hates, keep using it.

Im impressed MAGA. I didnt think people as stupid as you could exist, then you voted to have your money stolen and given to billionaires and create mass unemployment around the country. Keep up the good work!

Aussie here. We are so sickened watching what’s going on in the US. It’s terrifying how fast Trump has turned against his allies. Canada, we Aussies love you and support you! Thank you for standing strong. To our American friends, keep fighting, keep protesting!

Please keep the traitor Gretzky.

Their are some People that voted for Trump that are finally waking up to the reality of the situation I'm keeping my faith that we will over come all this chaos in our country and can get rid of Donald Trump and Elon Musk for good

Canada you should keep Trudeau as Prime Minister.. He's a great leader.???

Good for them...keep it up.

You have got to be kidding right? Trudy looks like what he/she is. Weak. Clueless. Worthless. When he got fired did he accept that or did he keep spending Kanadian money on useless projects? He went on a celeberety tour instead of working with the US to address the problems he created. He played around, posturing and looking like a total I D I O T and then when he FAILS to meet the requirements to avoid tariffs, and he gets hit with them, he does this kind of worthless crap? This is NOT a leader.

You’re out right lying bring our industry back home to America we don’t need your Canadian crap. The way you treated my native ancestors were awful the way you treated the truck drivers were awful you’re awful. Bring our industry home. Buy American Canada. Keep your crap. You spewing fear you want us to be afraid like you control your citizens out of fear yuck.

AS an American, no one likes Trudeau. Trump is going to keep the pressure up until he is gone. I support that decision. Your border is not safe. Anyone can walk across easily. You were told to secure your border and there will be no tariff, you chose not to comply...face the consequences

Trudeau is serving the final moments of his last term, but his approval ratings shot up since the Trump presidency started. Trump genuinely such a crappy leader than other leaders with approval ratings in the dirt are gaining support for going against him. As an American, it’s damn amazing. I hope the next PM of Canada keeps up the same energy and doesn’t concede to the US. Things won’t get better until the world sticks it to us, because the world turning their backs on us is the only thing that’ll get through the thick skulls of anyone who still supports Trump.

Hey Prime stupid ass you asked for it you got it keep your feet a little threats to yourself you're dealing with the United States now we're not playing any more games with anybody you want to talk about the strongest Nation you're about to witness it sit back grab a drink and watch us go

As a Canadian I dislike the tarrifs and think they are harmful on both sides. What is keeping me awake at night is what we all fear is truly behind this. A plan to weaken Canada so that the US teamed up with Russia can take what they want from us just as they are trying to do to Ukraine. Elbows up Canada! ??

His answer against Trump’s tariffs is directly harming Canada citizens more so than Americans. \n\nThis tick isn’t on a moral high ground. I WISH this motherfucker would keep escalating this with a president that’ll gladly turn Canada into a fuckin theme park.

Keep the pressure on the orange turd administration and dont give in. USA is ashamed and embarrassed at what this administration has created.( USA outside of the maga deplorables that voted for this to happen)

Keep your head up Canada !! Sending love from America, and on behalf of all americans, we apologize for this mess. Allies today, tomorrow and forever

The more I read the comments of different news articles, the more I realize that we as a world, and a species, want to be united as friends, hand in hand but our leaders are trying to keep us divided. I hope we make it through the next few years alive. And when this nightmare is over, I look forward to the world coming together, be they people of Russia, Ukraine, Mexico, Canada, and America.

Keep standing up Canada true untited states citizens support you. Do what you need to do to fight back against this bully felon.

CNN is a true propaganda machine. I don’t know if it’s intentional to help drive the numbers up on the right. But it’s working. Keep it up. \nPeople have internet access and take trips around the world. This shit only works on people that don’t come outside and solely rely on cable tv.

So why battle with tarrif? If America want to increase tarrif why battle it out and just show the world that America is wrong doing it. Or maybe President Trump just want you replace because you keep calling him dumb. ?

Denmark, Europe here: We support your decision to fight back and stand by our Canadian brothers and sisters! Stay strong and keep fighting the Orange man.

My question is why retaliate at all? If tariffs are paid for by the country that imposes them then just let America pay the higher prices and keep imports in Canada at a lower cost. What am I missing?

Donald youve just givin up on your friends here in Canada and likely the EU after their tarifs come in April. I hope your alliance with Putin is worth it because if you keep going on like this, he'll be your only friend

Well said PM Trudeau. Scrap those border plan billions and the Fentanyl Czar. If the Amer-I-can border is such a worry for this embarrassment of a USA administration (worst in history and that is saying a lot), then let them invest in border controls to keep out the overwhelming flow from our beautiful country of fentanyl and illegal immigrants that DOESN’T exist. This is hateful and Trump and those who voted for him should be ashamed. Shame on you. We will not visit your country, we will not buy your products…you are no neighbours of ours (yes, we spell neighbours with “our”…). Trump is hateful.
