Boo boo, Canada has been taking Billions from us and charging us Tariffs. We DONT NEED CANADA. They need us not Visa-Versa. I was Born in Toronto, what a terrible Liberal Leftist Country it has become including “ No Freedom Of Speech “. Trudeau is in competent and one speech doesn’t change that. Face it Canada !

Bring it on ya pansies!! We ain’t scared if no canadiens. You can’t fight your way out of wet paper bag!! You ain’t hurting nothing! Can’t wait till yall become the 51st state ?

And this is how a loser, an enemy of Canada, which he worked to destroy from within, the worst Prime Minister in canadian history - Trudeau, suddenly becomes a hero because of the actions of the Manchurian president Trump.

The US will soon realize how quick the world can become a very very small place when you think its a good idea to abandon all your friends.

Nice speach, hope in the future Canada doesn't change there mind. When to good friends becomes enemy , always wach your step...Trump is taking revenge, ( Netanyahu).

General Clark is baffled by Trump's strategy. How it doesn't make any sense to alienate our allies and isolate ourselves. To destroy our economy and internal workings.\n\nBut it becomes crystal clear if you accept the fact that Trump is serving Putin. He is Putin's asset. \n\nTrump's actions prove it.

CANADA COULD BE A FIRST NON EU COUNTRY/NATION TO JOIN IN EU AND BECOME MEMBERS OF EU very SOON.

I’m a Canadian and no fan of Prime Minister Trudeau. It’s unfortunate the best speech he ever gave was after he resigned as Prime Minister. What he has said in this speech is absolutely true, despite the fact, I think Trump is doing some good things for the USA. This Terrif war with your neighbour is stupid. Unfortunately for us in Canada our Prime Minister has not given us the tools and freedom to grow economically and prosper the way we should have. Canadians should be living like Kings, but unfortunately are living paycheque to paycheque because of the stranglehold that our Prime Minister has put on businesses and its citizens. Now Canada has very little leverage, I believe to fight this Terrif war. Canada has become a pure Cradic nightmare, like the previous administration in the United States were overtaxed over regulated and spend money like drunken sailors on stupid things that don’t help us grow and prosper.

My fellow Americans, we have far to many gullible and ignorant citizens in our country who voted for this idiot not once, not twice but 3 times. Insanity. Make it make sense. You voted for a proven narcissist, liar and impulsive man and now everybody in our country is going to suffer. The rest of the world is understandably concerned. We have a Putin sympathizer in the Oval Office. We have a traitor to Western democracy in our midst in power. \n\nWe now have massive layoffs coupled with cuts to vital services and help for our own citizens including Medicaid and other things. This is disturbing and troubling how fast it's unravelling. We can only hope that patriots and others can help stem this tide. We must use peaceful means to and pressure on our politicians to become more vocal in our concerns.

Becoming Independent is going to hurt a lot of feelings

The whole reason Trump is doing it is to try and crumble Canada's economy in hopes it deters Ukrainian aid.\nAnd ideally, Putin wants Trump to absorb Canada to cut Ukrainian funding out entirely from Canada.\nWhen you look at how Trumps actions help Putin, it becomes very obvious all the 2 IQ moves he makes.

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

All of this is Trumps fault. Target RED states Canada, this is the only way stupid MAGA will understand. Stabbing your allies in the back is how you become a target. Orange moron doesn't get it.

America = Canada = UK = Autralia = New Zealand\n\nThey should all become one country, I see no difference between them fr..

Trudeau is finally listening to his people? Why wait until you've resigned to become the man we needed for the last 9 years!?

Hope the US nation will stand up and protest against this orange clown that's slowly turning the biggest and mightiest nation of the Free World into a racist olicharchy and destroying freedom, healthcare and affordibility for your average US citizen from within. This will not become better. This will only get worse to the point it's irreversibel.

WWIII is coming. I predicted this scenario in college in 2005 with my game theory model. Trump is trying to become the richest man in the world. My model did not predict this. I was about 80% correct.

Hey shit. One has no comparisons with each other.\n\nYou though are a cook and have been stealing from your Canadian citizens and you expect the United States to except your high triff. \nCanada needs to become United States of America 51st state!!! \nOf course you would be removed from office so that we could actually grow together and be the strongest.

I see this as nothing less than Trump wanting to do to Canada a slightly more palatable version of what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Trump has openly said he wants Canada to become the 51st state, even though this is a huge ask as Canada has a population larger than any US state (California is close in population size), Canada has a land mass nearly the size of the US and, including water mass, Canada has a larger overall area than the US. Trump also wants Iceland to be owned by America. He has become power crazy during a war because this is his only chance to stoke his ego to undreamable levels. Trump wants to be America's Putin.

I think US should become the 4th territory of Canada. Putin, you can have drump and elon and their stupid dogs.

Justin are you forgetting that you are very close to America it would be very easy for you to become new North America

Trump wants to promote and impose his MAGA at the expense of America's allies. So early in his presidency, he has already met huge protests at home and abroad. He is starting to become a tyrant.

Now might be a good time to either upturn the system, or admit that this is no longer the country we can abide, and leave. Either way, it is evident that there is now a New World Order, lead by corporations and the lobbyists that fight for them. The kindest thing to say is that we are an Idiocracy; the truth might be that we've become the evil we pretend to fight. Good luck out there, folks.

I'm from the UK and I stand with Canada. America should be absolutely ashamed of their president. Trump treats friendly countries like this, then rolls over and becomes nothing but Putin's little bitch. Trump is pathetic and Americans are disgraced by him and his lies.

Your people call for becoming the 51 state

Since Trudeau announced he would step down, it seems like he's become much more grounded and pragmatic.

This his how a leader leads. Support your allies if they are supporting you but protect your nation and your people. America has become a maverick. Fabulous speech.

Hate to tell you Justin but we got what you're selling. America needs to become independent in energy and agriculture. America needs to support its own farmers, and oil and gas workers. Its time for America to become America again! You are crazy if you live in America and don't support American manufacturing, Farmers, oil and gas workers. Maybe you should move to Canada if you don't agree with America first.

Trump is walking all of America into the lions den with no armor. He's the world's biggest useful idiot. But it's once he becomes the world's biggest useless idiot that scares me the most.

Is this the “Golden age” MAGA was promised? Thanks MAGA voters, get ready to become poorer, you wanted a reality show you got it!

Canada-May I come live with you?Biden was a bad president but Trump has become worse.

There should be some regulations preventing sociopathic people from becoming presidents.

Better USA becomes a state of Canada

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

What tariffs does Canada put on U.S. goods? Canada's retaliatory measures include a 25% reciprocal tariff that will be imposed on C$155bn (US$107bn; £84bn) of American goods: A tariff on C$30bn worth of goods will become effective immediately.2 hours ago

How the heck did you become a multi-millionaire? Canadians are OVERTAXED, so yes you SHOULD be worried about tariffs and you resigned. Make that make sense. When its all over-it will make clear sense.

When are Americans going to understand that Trump is executing Putin's playbook to become America's Tsar.

All that because of one comedian,that want's to become president.....nicely done Green guy,nicely done.

Trump reminds me of Hitler. I think he will create a crisis to impose martial law just like Hitler did when the Reichstag caught fire. If he can do this he will become dictator. ?

*I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it. It's -- it's repulsive! Isn't it? I must get out of here. I must get free*\n--The Smiths & Me. About Trumpers and America.\nI am a Real Republican and I barely even recognize what we've become. Trumpers are a plague.

Welcome to becoming the 51 state

If Poilievre becomes PM then Trump will get everything he wants.

Canada is closer to becoming the 51st state than winning this trade war.

Could this man please become the Prime Minister of England. I want to feel proud of my country again

?? here. Sure, we have our differences internally. Sure, we have problems. But oh my, in my many years of experience I have never seen Canadians united the way we have become as a result of threats eminating from the US. For this, we are putting our differences aside and uniting as one. I’m not a Trudeau fan, but he speaks - very well - for our nation.

Let's become South Canada for 4 years.

_Trudeau can fix this by purging his position as Prime Minister to governor of Canada becoming the 51st state of America_

God once saved Trump to become a more compassionate and humane person, but he is turning into the devil instead!

As an American, I stand with PM Trudeau and Canada and I'm ashamed at what the United States has become.

Make no mistake. The Tariff talk started right after Canada's reaction to Trump's demand that Canada become the 51st state. That's what this is all about. Nothing to do with Fentynal. You can bet Putin had a hand in this as well. Well done US. You are now a Puppet State of Russia. How long before Russian replaces Spanish as the second, and then first language of the US?
