I genuinely wonder what a balance sheet would like before tariffs between what Canada gains from U.S. vs U.S. benefiting from Canada. I’m neutral because I don’t know enough. But I feel like that would be a good place to start before putting the last few months at the forefront.

This is gonna hurt all Americans not some Americans and believe me other countries are feeling the same way about United States like Canada. We’re losing all our lives.

Sounds like all those Canadian tariffs will force industries back into the United States. Americans will definitely feel short term pain but I would imagine that long term, Canada will be the ones who suffer. ?

Suddenly he want to fight drugs while for past years you legalize every possible drug i Canada. You should be ashamed of yourself Trudeau. When Trump wanted to put tarrifs on Canada you were gone to Portugal apart of making a deal with the guy. Now you cry like a little guy and blaming Trunp for everything while you wasnt even here to negotiate and you shut down Canadian government for your own partisan purpose and government does not exist right now in Canada just because you afraid of loosing election so you just trying to survive as a PM for as long as possible. Not trump but YOU destroyed Canada and its economy and making Canadians life harder and harder and spending our tax money all over the world

No not all Americans. I didn't vote for that. I like Canadians and Canada. Turn the lights off on the Mega supporters.

I was born in the US and have had pride in my country -- IN THE PAST. Not now and not as long as my fellow citizens and our legislators back trump and vance and musk. I support Canada and Mexico and Ukraine and the Palestinians. Drugs are the LEAST of our worries in this country. Giving our government to an oligarch like musk is our biggest issue as well as getting in bed with putin.

Can we swap out the orange moron for Trudeau? Sounds like Canada will be done with him soon anyway.

It's more than time for Canada to turn themself to electric Chinese car at around CAD 5K with quality comparable to Tesla and so many more affordable goods and products from diverse countries of Asia including cheaper chips, GPU, CPU, etc... with the green, affordable and available electricity in huge quantity who could place Canada at the first rank in AI development without speaking about it Geo position reducing latency, Crypto mining at the lower cost around the entire world, the world largest rear earth elements and so many more. By stopping to cooperate with a vicious country which has the philosophy of eliminating the concurrency until to collaborate for the exponential growth of each other's. It's clear that the target of the US was to force the Canada to be producing goods and service to the US consummation at a price so low that will have turn Canada in a third world country which the US could invade or exploit as it will, like they did all around the world by bombing and even committing genocide using proxy to stole the resource of so many nations around the world. So obviously they deal with Russia on how to rob the richest from Europeans nation like Ukraine as it is clear that the US is now looking to make the entire world economy fall for their own profit. Canada must lead in the fight against the American imperialisms pushing for a world embargo against the US and become at the same time one of the richest nations in the world if not the richest one. while for the US citizens to invest all their money in BTC to ensure that they will not fall down with their government and economy.

Dam I like Canadas guy here

I hate to see something like this take place, but the bullying behavior of the current administration make it unavoidable. The American people will be the losers. If I were thirty years younger, I'd be packing the Dodge and mapping the quickest route to Canada instead of writing this.

A lot of we Americans are so sorry and sad. I love you, Canada ??You are what a great country looks like❤

Stupid ass Trump is making enemies right and left to please Putin. He is a sell out to Russia. He is not making America great. The dumb ass is making America worse. \nI am proud of Canada and their leadership. Nothing like the mess we have now here in the US.

I feel like Canada is more upset about this than the US. Tells you everything you need to know. They are dependent on the US. Digging their own grave

I am a US citizen and I'm proud of you Canada ??. I didn't vote for the idiot in the WH and neither did none of my friends and family. This move by the current POTUS is more like orders he got from somewhere else ??. He's to stupid to think of anything himself and he doesn't read anything unless someone tells him.

American here, an actual conservative who never voted for Trump. Canada should immediately turn off the oil to stick it to Trump, and people everywhere should boycott Tesla permanently. The Canadian oil would do best going to Europe to help shut off imports from Russia.\n\nTrump is a traitor who acts like a Russian agent.

Well Justin, after listening to you smug listing of all the measures you’ve taken to reduce fentanyl traffic as well as “other” traffic and implemented US requests for cleaning up border issues. I ask: “Had the US not made these requests, would you have done the neighbourly thing and cared enough for your neighbour to have monitored what criminals in your country were up to? It appears you had to be reminded of your duties inherent in the ‘office of being a good neighbour’.\nYou are STILL weak and the mouthpiece of ‘controlling interests’ in Europe who in the end will toss you out on the street like some sucked dry orange and forget your fawning presence ever existed. Man up and at least try to leave an honourable legacy for Canadians. The BOC will then be able to fulfil its mission of printing its own money without bringing Canada into the slave-pit of European Banksters.

Why doesn't America have a responsible leader like Canada? Are we going to let our Country be run by Grifters and Greedy Con men? Take action TODAY! Americans make the choices. Not Insane fools by the name of Trump.

Canada is more like the America that America is supposed to be

Well done CANADA. You have spoken clearly, letting the American people know, that it is the TRUMP GOVERNMENT that is causing the TRADE WAR. Trudeau spoke like a FREIND & ALLI who will not accept anything to do with a TRUMP/PUTIN deal. This is how to deal with a BULLY & A PERSON WHO IS UNTRUSTWORTHY like PRESIDENT TRUMP.

To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

The problem here isn't temporary. Tariffs may or may not be. But when Canada, Mexico, and other countries build alternate trade infrastructure and strike deals that exclude America, this becomes near irreversible and will hurt America's economy well after Trumps term. And that's just trade and economy.\n\nThen there are many relationships worldwide which are already affected, and world leaders are poised to move on without America - leaving it isolated. The US is the most powerful country in the world and can survive alone, but even so, no country flourishes without international partnerships that both parties can rely on. Like Putin, nobody can rely on Trumps word.\n\nHe is destroying everything. And the American public are largely sitting back and watching it. \n\nWake up before it's too late.

People in Canada ?? don't even like their leader . Things gotta get worse b4 they get better .\nTrump ❤ keep sending the message US has been getting taxed by other countries fpr far too long .\nAct like this man doesn't have a plan?????

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

Saying attacking Canada is being done to keep the US safe sounds mightily like putin saying he had to attack Ukraine to keep Russia safe.

Great leadership qualities folks. I never thought he had it in him. ?. Well done Canada. Respect for not bowing down like other leaders. Be proud Canada. We are of him.

Stupid comments here, see a clown like Trudeau and praising him because of his tan and tone, not knowing the slightest thing. He is not an actor; he is the PM of Canada. Hating Trump doesn't make this clown any better. Ask Canadians whether they think he is the next coming of Christ. Clown who has even stepped down because of his failures. Americans stop being ignorant.

After a speech like this, discourse and solutions are supposed to follow. It's how we work with peers in school, it's how business allies work.\n\nInstead, Trump may see this as a harsh message and fire up the heat to turn this into a spectacle-- arguments, ego, threats. And then the actions will be reactions and attacks instead of solutions. i think the issue lies in that my statements-- no matter if you're Red or Blue, ring factually correct to Trump\ns behavior. he's not here to save citizens or solve issues. He is here for us to watch his reality TV show-- but it's also our own reality!! \n\nHOW IS THE US AND CANADA IN A TRADE WAR RIGHT NOW IN 2025!? I don't understand!!!

Trudeau became a raly good politician.. confident. I like him, wish more were like that. Cheers to Canada from EU. Who would think US will side with Russia

only if dumb trump can speak intelligently like this true leader from Canada. trump speak at grade school level. I am American and very embarrassed for our government.

Heavy hearts here today in Canada??????. Life doesn’t have to be so hard. This is a dark day for us. We really like our neighbors the USA. \nLooking forward to the day we are joined with our fellow neighbors again in fair trade!\nWe will visit you when things are better but not until then.

What a crock of shit. We pay 10\ntimes the tariffs on exports to Canada as they have paid the US. Now it’s an equal playing field and he’s whining and lying like he always does.

It's not always true Canada doesn't stand with a murderer. A convited murderer of former Bangladesh President along with most of his family members has been sheltered in Canada. Despite repeated requests from BD government to extradite him Canadian government especially Mr. Trudeau didn't bother to take any action. It's like kind of cherry picking!

Anyone on the planet would give anything to have a neighbour like Canada. Justin Trudeau, the world is witnessing how you have risen up to a bully and protected your country and your people. America is run by a goon, and Russia is happy about it.

The real reason for the tariffs is because it has never been fair for the United States we pay more taxes for products in Canada in Mexico in Europe and it's always been like that and it's sad that it has to come to this in order for everybody to pay their fair share. That's the real reason. it'sad that countries are mad because they can't continue to rip off the United States. if there's fair trades there are no tariffs period

Trudeau sucks! Canada sucks! They're like a pesticide to America that has fed of us!!

Hello from Texas? Thank you Canada for standing up to Trump and not being a coward like the representatives in US Congress!

I don't like Trudeau. I don't like what he did to Canada in advancing a ridiculous far left agenda however I also don't believe the tariffs employed by Trump were the correct thing to do. Mexico and China, yes. Canada, no!

Now Trudeau is standing strong and yes his country now shows strength. Can’t be our 51st no matter being called a governor! He speaks like a good PM\nWe love and support Canada ??

As a US citizen living in Australia I’m proud of you Canada. I spent a lot of time in Canada ?? beautiful people and a beautiful place. You don’t deserve to be treated like this.

??? Oh boy. Little Trudeau acting like a tough guy. Canada will come crawling. It's only a matter of time. Mexico? They're screwed too. Just wait and see.

everyone wants our money and gets angry when they dont get it, WE ARE IN DEBT. we are trying to solve the debt and not just continually give aid to be people that dont need it. Work for your own country and help your own country thrive, be independant like the canada you want to be. stop being a leech.

What times we live in :D America becoming ally with Russia which leader putin is nothing else like Stalin or other soviet leaders. And America is becoming enemy not only with Europe but also with closest ally Canada :D What the hell is going on? China celebrating now. USA had veroius presidents good ones, bad ones, smart ones and dumb ones, but this one is no doubt the worst and dumbest one ever.

Yeah we dont gaf. Been trying to get Canada to help protect the American continents for decades from Russia. \n\nYou're full of the old white owl.\n\nTired of the spending ...time to grow up. Gave out right fa tories to Canada and Mexico whole industries to help them along and the sacrifices was like a participation trophy.\n\nBring it.

Look at him, Donald Trump: \nTHIS man has got style, manners and intellect. This is exactly what a great statesman look like!\nGermany stands with Canada! ????♥️??

Crazy to see how relations have broken down between our two countries and sad for all my great American friends and thanks for your support but anyone with half a mind could see this coming. So many Americans, even republican voters, now waking up to the cold reality of a treasonous, mad president allied to a Russian mad man, isolating the US from the rest of the world. He was basically elected to repaire the economy. Ha! Nice going you orange freak. The stock market is crashing like a Trump casino. You bankrupt two casinos and now you are doing the same to America. Oh! and I hope you're listening to Trudeau's speech, this is what a real leader sounds like. CANADA STRONG AND FREE!!!

Trump is a bully and thinks like a child without thinking of the consequences. He’s been getting his way for years and running around bullying others. I really hope Canada Mexico whoever trump wants to bully stand on business and does the same. Unfortunately we Americans will be caught in the crossfire but it has to be done.

This man is a lier and has taken the guns away from Canadians. The USA does not need Canada. I say we pull our military out of Canada and build a northern border to further protect America. Canada is nothing more than a branch of Britain.\n\nIf you news reporters don't like the American first idea then move to Canada.

No one likes Trudeau not even most of his own people go away already you ruined Canada . Get a common sense PRIME minister that can bring back Canada to its glory a respectful SUPPORTER from the U.S.

Dear Canada, Can I come over? I don't like what we're having here at home.

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.
