Everybody in Canada wants to vote Trudeau out but he cancelled parliament and pro longed an election to happen. But he speaks about other leaders and “dictators.” Trudeau is a joke. Canada wants an election. To elect a real leader. Let’s go Canada!

Interesting. So Drugs coming into your country is our problem. Yet your guns coming illegally into our country. Also our problem. Seems like Trumpo is just looking for some kind of pretext to stir shit up. We have taken advantage of US for far too long. Is the most retarded statement.

Watching Trudeau attempt to speak tough from a position of weakness while simultaneously falling for a tit for tat tariff trap... Perfect?\n\nThe long term gains for the US here are massive.

Let's see how long you survive without the US military you moron

Trump has damaged relationships between our countries that will take a long time to repair. I did not vote for Trump and I wholeheartedly accept that Canada has to respond strongly to his harmful, stupid tariff policies. It’s going to hurt us all.

What a baffoon. I guess Trudeau will move to the U.S. and become a Democrat after his term. It's not just about drugs. It's about forcing a global reboot. It's only a small percentage that thinks everything is going bad. Most use their brain and look for long term change that is needed. The world has been laughing at us for more than the last 4 years too.

Sorry, but we have to fix our trade deficit. Too long we have been the worlds babysitter.

What's it about? It's about money. It's about a gangster family in the Whitehouse, and oligarchs in the administration, all trying to make as much money as possible. There's no other explanation possible. That's the only explanation that comes close to making any sense. Now more than ever, even if these tariffs are short-lived, Canada needs to move away from U.S. trade. This is necessary for the long term survival and prosperity of Canada. We need to make every effort to increase trade with the pacific rim, Europe and South America. There may be some short-term pain, but it has to happen. Given the events of the last few years in the U.S., Canadians have to realize that things can get even worse, and will likely never be the same. There is very little reason to believe that the ties Canada has had with the U.S. will ever be what they were, or indeed any reason to believe that that is even desirable now.

All of these comments praising Trudeau have the memory of a goldfish. This guy praises Chinas communist leadership and also spoke highly of Fidel Castro. Let’s not forget the pandemic. Of course the tariffs might hurt in the short term but you fools can’t see the long game. Bring back more jobs to America and import less. Tariffs will allow for tax cuts.

we have become a fascist state unfortunately ...i guess americans will have to find out what they had and how long it took to make things ok with our institutions 3rd world here we come

The United States will fall so long as trump and his croonies are incontrolled

sadly...your speech is too long so as to be difficult for Trump to understand. Maybe try simple words and short sentences next time ?

One of the best speeches i have heard in a long time. So close to the heart of all Canadians.

I live near the Canadian border. As long as I am able to cross over I will come to Canada and spend my money to help their economy. I am with Canada.

Dear Canadian friends & allies, i would recommend becoming as self sufficient as possible for now, we don't know how long or how well our president will get his way destroying international relationships with our allies.\nAt least half of US voters did not vote for this guy.

small man TRUMP lasts 4 years. CANADA, NATO, UKRAINE, UK, ALL GLOBAL DEMOCRACIES WILL ENDURE LONG, LONG AFTER TRUMP.

Wondering how long it'll take for Americans to kick off on the streets

MAGA ❤ CANADA HAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF US FOR FAR TOO LONG!

Ahh to live in a country with a president that is diplomatic, logical, and strategic. It'll be a long lost memory for America soon enough. Wake up maga seriously wake up.

Trump is here to facilitate downfall of the U.S. and rise of Israel as the next super power. I hope everyone lives long enough to see this and what it means to the world.

You rode on our shirt tails for free for a long time you just pissed off because now you got to pay go to hell... We don't need your maple syrup for your lumber

Canada's Tariff applied to the United States will cause some price inflation, price increase, for a short time until the United states establish compaines to produce the same good and services that were tariffed. Once goods and service producted by the United States exceeds the Canadian goods and services that were tarriffed, the prices will come down. President Donald Trump did this to grow United States and Employment and cause price deflation over the long term. Hopefully Canada has the resources to do the same. I hope every body is blessed through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

As long as Trump and his administration align themselves to dictators and impose outrageous tariffs on our allies and head toward an authoritarian government, all countries from the free world need to fight back against these unfair tariffs being imposed by the Trump administration. New torch bearers for the free world and the unified free world needs to decouple from an undependable, disloyal, Trump led US. Trump is tarnishing the legacy of the US in real time.

Trump did this to cause disinflation. Too many consumptions and too many cheap Chinese products in the market. Business owners are profiting at an all time high taking advantage of this inflation. Trump's move may cause short-term pain but there it will help your wallets in the long term including home prices and rates. Trump aim is to bring down interest rates basically.

The rest of the world is with you Canada and Mexico. We no longer stand with America. NEVER AGAIN. Until Trump is LONG GONE. And do not lie with Russia.

Trudeau already said this nonsense last month. Virtually the same tariffs. Same points. \n\nCanada’s economy is down too and has been for a long time. \nTheir stock market is low. \nTheir RE is too high for its citizens. \n \nThey can’t win a tariff war due to attrition. And Canadians can ban together to not shop American as they been doing already. \nAnd none of you on this platform can do anything about that either. \nY’all can stand with Canada as much as you like. That doesn’t dismiss the fact that their tariffs on America was higher than America’s tariffs on Canada prior to this “tariff war”. \nAlso ya’ll can’t denounce citizenship and migrate over to Canada. Because they will not accelerate their process for citizenship. And will not accept the infinite number of you all.

How long before Canada drops the US Dollar in favor of BRICS?

Add 75% on Canada 100% see how long they last

Why did it take so long for you to take care of the border? You know how many people have died in our country because of fentanyl?

As a Brazilian, i don't know why Canadians are still trying tho deal with America. It's clearly not a democratic government. Brazil and Canada has dealt for so long, it's time to increase this. Brazil is part of BRICS countries, but it doesn't mean it's not democrat. Why Canadians keep thinking about EU and EUA? So many things have happened and Brazil is now a strong partner. We support Canada against this betray of USA. We have been considered as USA backyard. But that is past. We did it, and now we are strong. Canada needs to open it's eyes to some other better future.

Too little too late PM, should’ve enforced that fentanyl crises long time ago.

We're at the precipice of a long fall \n?

More of a reason to dislike this punk even more. ??Canada. Long live Trump and Putin.

I’m an Indigenous American here, I say if Canada was really our friend then they would understand that they have been taking advantage of our countries kindness for too long and it’s time they step up.. If us trying to do something good for our own country for one time instead of everybody else and it’s a problem like this then maybe we weren’t friends anyway.. That means u were only friendly bc u were taking advantage.. \nPlenty of other countries has decided to pick up their own slack and it’s time Canada and America and the other countries start focusing more on their own citizens.. \nThis man is ready to send Canadian soldiers to die in Ukraine right now for something that has nothing to do with them and now instead of negotiating an agreement it’s all about relation and hurting your own people to get back at others over something you took personally..\nI always liked Trudeau but if that’s how he feels about our country then that’s how we feel about his.. \nwe don’t care about Canada anymore except justing Bieber and Linus media group.. everyone else can go lol..

Know what it is is Canadian Canada is standing up with the EU, which has basically been fucking the United States for so long and all the Democrats have gotten in all y’all‘s bureaucratic fucking heads which is not Democrats no more they are bureaucrats American people are tired of it we are tired of paying debts while others set back and enjoy their lives while the American people slave because every one resents us they don’t give a shit about us

Canadian Lad here, I'm Very Proud of Our Prime Minister. Hats off Buds. Our Doors are open to those Americans that want to Live in Canada. Its a Big country I'm sure we can find a lake for you to live on free of Morons Like Donald Trump. As long as you don't mind Camping, fishing, canoeing, drinking Molson Beers watching hockey, and eating Pan cakes with Maple Syrup, lol.

He should have done all he was saying now long time ago,

Canada started a trade war a long time ago. \nDairy Products: \nCheese - 245% \nMilk - 270% \nButter - 298% \nPoultry - 238% \nEggs - 163% \nBarley - 160% \nWheat - 94% \nSugar - 265% \nPeanut Butter - 295% \nRice - 150% \nVegetables - 100% \nFish Products - 100% \nLumber - 20% \nShoes - 30% \nCocoa - 30% \nMetals - 25% \nWool - 30% \nTobacco - $100+% \n \nTrump is actually being VERY NICE with a 25% tariff

As long as this crazy US President ?the world are not peaceful place

Don't buy Canadian Bacon, Maple Syrup and other Canadian goods. Canada is NOT the closest ally of the US and has long in fact been like the Karen nation of North America who is massively passive aggressive to the US, and outright hatred for the US is rampant among many Canadians. 25 percent 155 billion which is dwarfed by the trade imbalance of the many billions more of Canadian goods that go to the US, mostly it is American Alcohol that goes to Canada, to fuel the drunks of Canadian society, so Homeless alcoholics in Canada might truly suffer. How is more sobriety a bad thing Trudeau? This might be fantastic for people who drink alcohol to make a break with the booze they have been needing. \n\nThe rest of us, who don't buy Canadian goods nor own or invest in American alcohol won't feel anything. In fact we pay more for mailing stuff to Canada from the Canadian postal service. \n\nWe learned not to mail stuff to Canada. We are ok now living with that limitation.

Long live Canada

American here. You only have a country because of us. Let’s see how long your guys survive without us.

This is what happens when you let a businessman become a president, only thing on his mind is to make money no mater what it costs. Lets see how long this will last. Looking forwars for re-election the sooner the better. Trump cant pick sides with a terrorist and diktator, whats next, all the terrorist become US friends ?!

But Trump is putting us in a position to afford these tariffs.. he doesn't realize America sleeps on a mattress from mattress firm, so we sleep.. ?all night long!?

Uh no…Canadians aren’t “polite” any longer…that ship sailed quite a long time ago

Tariffs will hurt but Canadians boycotting anything American may hurt for a long time.

Well we cannot refine your crud oil for free which we have been doing for a very long time!

Donald trump will not last long on his term if he continue acting dumb ,his own people will destroy him or worst assassinate him.For sure not all Americans are voted him and like him ,Americans are very intelligent people they won’t let that dumb president destroy thier future and put them into a very chaotic living.

Talk to Putin and Zelenkyj, and Get a deal, that will last for 1000 year, and you will have friends for long time.maybe forever.

Long live Canada. The USA will soon be out of NATO and have no back up from any NATO country, when China, Russia, Iran and North Korea use the Trump and Vance comedy show to take over and rule the New World.
