Justin Trudeau is a fool who is playing a game that he cannot possibly win and will exponentially damage Canadian citizens while he blames the US government for his response which is exactly the same as the person he’s blaming

The entire US: ? We're in the middle of a hostile government takeover ?\nDo what you need to do, Canada. We support you ❤️

UK here - Well done Canada, dont back down to the Bully tactics of a despot US government run by a Pootin sickofant

MOSOW AGENT GOVERNING AMERICA= MAGA??

I am extremely proud of the Canadian Government and all Canadians as we work together in this extremely sensative situation. May we all stay united, strong and see how much can be done to get through this ( a possible resolution?). Prayers for clarity and understanding.

What in this world did USA expect. trump the person that performed lewd acts on a microphone. 34 counts convicted felon. trump is trying to hurt America. Make there be no mistake about. Look how musk is taking a chainsaw against American Vets that work in the government. Then displayed an act with a chainsaw on national TV like it is a funny joke. trump is pitiful. A menace and a criminal. 6 times bankruptcy business fool. And there are so many other foul acts trump has taking against the American people. All I can say is seat back and feel the pain trump has and still will cause our country.

Us Government is an embarrassment right now

We as United States citizenry are appalled by President Trump and his band of thugs over his present action's toward the free World. We all Love our Canadian neighbors and will band together with our Vote to limit Trumps policies and rid our government from their unnecessary present path of destruction. Thank you President Trudeau and we all are praying for your continual strengths on the World Theater.

I am a american, and I'm so sad what our government doing, with the world

My government chose America 1st . \nLet’s see \nNone of that affects the basic American. \nIt only affects people like you .

Orange man is a zio puppet and so is Justin Castro Trudeau. Both Americans and Canadians need to seize their governments.

It’s hard to truly put into words how hard it is to be an American right now who doesn’t agree with our government’s actions. I’m honestly just so sad.

Many Americans don't want this trade war and this bad relationships with Canada and many other allies. Our government is hijacked by a coup led by Trump and Musk!

Coming from a guy that doesn't quite look like he's going to be there long. 1.7 trillion that's trillion dollars of manufacturing money coming to America because of the tarrif threats. Not Canada but America, real jobs and money not government jobs.

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

I didn't choose this government...

Trudea along with our “democrats” is a communist moron who has driven his nation to ruin just like the dems are destroying the states they govern with their mass immigration and socialist policies, constant false propaganda they spew through fake news outlets they pay, like CNN to lie and manipulate the public for them. You all are complete failures.

DO YOU HEAR REPUBTARDS????\nYOUR GOVERNMENT HAS CHOSEN THIS. YOUR STUPID PIGFACED TRUMP

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

We don’t want this either, and the current administration is not MY government and I know so many people who feel the same way. Trump and his cohorts are a danger to the American people and I am disgusted and ashamed that he is the ” leader” of my country. We stand with every true democracy against this tyrant and all who support him and his plot to destroy the United States!

Same 25% tariffs to US devil government. And shut off oil and electric to US too. Let DEVIL trump to know Canadian STAND TOGETHER

Many of us American people think our president and government are nuts! Can we move to you Canada? My crazy government can have this country with a few million less people!

I'm an American and let me make this perfectly clear what I heard. Coming out of Justin Trudeau's mouth today was the gospel truth. Our government is off the rails and who's to blame the GOP and the magas. Canada this American supports you 150%

President Trump has balls and is playing hard ball with Canada! Time to stop screwing us over! And you should be taking to our government, not the American people, WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRESIDENT!

Get rid of Trump. As a indigenous American our leadership is indangering average citizens. Already the children are starting to suffer cause of Trumps government.

Good shit Canada! Fuck my government!! ?

Can Trump Become a Dictator Like Putin? \nTrump has authoritarian tendencies, but turning the U.S. into a full dictatorship like Putin’s Russia would be extremely difficult. Here’s why: \n1⃣ The U.S. Has Strong Institutional Barriers \nUnlike Russia, where Putin gradually dismantled democracy, the U.S. has checks and balances (Congress, courts, states, the military). \nTrump tried to challenge the system, but courts often ruled against him, showing that he doesn’t have full control. \nTo become a true dictator, he would need to take over the judicial system, military, and elections—none of which are fully in his hands. \n? Example: \nTrump lost multiple court cases on election fraud claims, proving he does not yet have absolute control. \n2⃣ He Lacks Full Control Over the Military & Law Enforcement \nPutin controls the Russian military and secret police, allowing him to silence opposition. \nIn the U.S., the military swears loyalty to the Constitution, not the president. \nTrump tried to use the military against protesters, but military leaders refused, signaling that they wouldn’t blindly follow him. \n? Example: \nOn Jan 6, 2021, Trump encouraged an attack on the Capitol, but the military did not intervene on his behalf. \n3⃣ American Democracy is Deeply Embedded in Culture \nUnlike Russia, where people are used to strongmen leaders, Americans are culturally resistant to dictatorship. \nU.S. citizens, journalists, and activists openly resist government overreach, making it harder for an authoritarian to rise. \nFree press and independent media make it difficult to spread unchecked propaganda the way Putin does in Russia. \n? Example: \nTrump was impeached twice, showing that Congress still holds power over the president. \n4⃣ Trump’s Path to Dictatorship Would Require More Control Over Elections \nPutin rigged elections, eliminated opponents, and rewrote laws to stay in power. \nTrump has tried to change voting laws and delegitimize elections, but the system still blocked him. \nIf Trump could fully control elections, he could remove opposition and rule indefinitely. \n? Example: \nHe’s trying to install loyalists in key election positions for 2024, but this does not guarantee full control. \n5⃣ Could He Still Try? Yes. Could He Succeed? Unlikely (For Now). \n✔ Trump has authoritarian instincts and wants more power. \n✔ He is trying to weaken institutions to increase control. \n✔ But the U.S. system makes dictatorship much harder than in Russia. \n✔ Unless he completely controls elections, the courts, and the military, he cannot rule like Putin.

I'm impressed of Trudeau put his word said America your government done this to you

I'm an American & his speech almost made me cry. He's such a great leader & Canadians are our great role models. I love you guys & I will protest my government.

Morons Are Governing America.

Most of us know what our government is doing and we hate it. He’s an evil man and he needs to be dealt with.

American here. We don’t want this either. Thank you for standing up against the tyranny which is our new government!

Good for you Canada!! No one should deal with a bully!! Trump has hurt our government can’t anyone see this!!!!!!!!

Only a fool causes a trade war with Canadian over sych foolish issues. I apologize Canada for my government's actions. I applaud Trudeau's strong example of what real leadership looks like.

They have been putting our corporations out of business that compete with them here by giving those Canada companies subsidies so they can sell their materials cheaper than ours. It’s really crazy how people were so happy to pay more money for everything when Biden’s people manipulated us to think it was important to support Ukraine’s war and that was why prices were going up. Now, no one wants to support businesses coming to the US. \nThere are way worse things than prices going up for a few years. We do need to start chipping away at that $36trillion. We are the 1st country to not go belly up with the GDP ratio to debt as high as ours. Economists that aren’t connected to our government and top CEO’s said last year that it didn’t matter who was president, our dollar will reset and our economy will crash. So, somebody has to do something. Trump and his people has to think outside the box to stop it. Especially if interest rates don’t go down, because if we can’t pay the interest and our corporations can’t either, the crash will happen.

I couldn't agree more. I hope everyone follows suit. Please do what you need to do (all trading countries). Cause it doesn't make sense anymore. Just remember, we are not properly represented as citizens because we don't have the same values as Trump and his governance.

From Japan, to our friends in Canada.\n\nSurely, we in Japan will also be forced to face a trade war similar to what you, our Canadian friends, are experiencing.\nNo, perhaps it has already begun—perhaps we are merely on the verge of its full-scale escalation.\n\nCanadian friends, your leader has shown a resolute stance against the U.S. government. Please take pride in this. The American left will surely boo him harshly once again, but this is what a true statesman should be. With dignity and composure, he made a difficult decision—not because he wanted to, but because he had to—fully aware that it would bring pain to both nations’ citizens.\n\nCan our own Japanese leaders take such a firm and resolute stance? That, I do not know.\nBut I offer my deepest respect.\n\nAmerica is no longer a protective guardian to us.\nWe must defend our own nation by ourselves.\nThis has become clearer than ever.\n\nPeople of Canada, let us remain strong together.\n\nWith deepest respect and prayers from Japan.

Canada your government should have never relied on us. You did this to yourselves

‼️ WE NEED TO TAKE DOWN OUR GOVERNMENT/ PRESIDENT TRUMP ‼️\n‼️THEY ARE FAILING OUR PEOPLE‼️\nWho’s with me‼️

WE know it's our government. Our country needs new government! Heeellllppp!!!

Don't try to tell the American people what does government doing to it why don't you explain to your people what you're doing to them you tyrant criminal

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

Imagine if Trudeau announced that he would be pausing the carbon tax on the Canadian people to help offset some of the costs imposed on us by the United States. Do I respect that he is standing up for Canadians...Yes! Is Donald foolish in creating a trade dispute between his closest friends and Allies...Yes! Who's going to suffer....everyone! Government screwing over the people continues as it always have.

We, the American people stand with Canada ??. God bless Canadian citizens and governments ? ?? ? ? ? ?.

I think Trudeau is the only one Canadian guilty of this problem. A French official disguised as a religious man was involved in drug trafficking with the Miami baggage handlers. He even commissioned the baggage handler to commit domestic terrorism for the benefit of France. Air Force pilots died as kamikazes to destroy the drugs while CLEANTOWN prevented the FBI from raiding Arkansas as usual under the pretext of religion. The worst thing is that this pretext did not prevent women and children from being burned in the Davidians as the ASOVs do in Ukraine. Submitting to the French government when they are going to have an import tax is allowing French products to pass through Canada to avoid paying tax. To be sure that this does not happen, they do not need a vassal of France who follows the liars, and this is not a hypothesis, it is a fact that a Canadian, either disguised customs, or director of 2 wheels, can confirm not the arrest of the baggage handler who traced the trail but the domestic HATRED of these so-called gentry French, the friend of the haters of the KKK of France is not a quality of security and alliance against hatred and sure that the taxe will be apply to the hatred.

It's not the U.S. government that's doing this, Prime Minister Trudeau, but rather President Trump and his cronies. This tariff war wasn't voted on by Congress or the American people.

Gosh I miss this kind of conviction that the US leaders used to radiate when talking. You don’t need to be in politics to know what’s right from wrong. Just listening the the Prime Minister talk fires me up, more than this clown that we have for president ever will. Canada’s doing it’s job, it’s time we do ours and stand up to this corrupted government. WAKE UP!

America is not in a golden era more of a orange/ brownish shit stain era sorry Canada Trump is out for Trump America or any other country be damned .Trump speaks for the american government but not the American people he has little regard for

MAGA... Moscow Agent Governing America

We are embarrassed by our government.
