This has nothing to do with fentanyl, he wants to take over Canada. So this is Trump having a pissy fit because he didn’t get his own way. Donnie, put your big boy pants on, and act like a grown up if you can.

I see alot of 2 face americans here making comments supporting canada. You people voted for that convicted criminal and now you want to act innocent. Americans are complicit in this act of war.

Don't get it, twisted, Trudeau. You've been screwing Canada over for 9 years, so why do you suddenly care now? You and Carney, and your gimp guilbeault with your carbon tax and doubling of rent and mortgages and groceries has been hurting Canadian families, but now Trump is doing this, and you're acting like a hero or are you just jealous because somebody else is beating on Canadians instead of just you, or is it because it's going to leave you with less of our tax dollars to launder?!

Canada the good people here in America do not want this either because we don’t have a billion dollars to work with and truthfully I wouldn’t want it then either! We got Billionaires that want to act like two year olds here and worse yet they have been spoiled there whole lives and they claim to have never been wrong! We will do our part and would like to ask you to do everything possible to hurt the economy so we can turn the vote around and put them republicans in the protest against these criminals running our government! We will win together I am already seeing cracks in their front! We are with you Canada ?? signed old man from Ohio that has a brain and a heart!

Huffing and puffing. They should honestly tell Canadians what the Bank of Canada governor said. Canadians should brace for impact for a recession the likes of which they have not seen. Get ready with your 6 month salary savings and scaling down on everything. Good to act tough till it starts biting home like the carbon tax

Lindt the swiss chocolate factory has a factory in the usa which supplied their chocolate to usa and canada, they have spoken and acted, They have increased their production in europe for canada so canadians will not be paying tarriff/taxes on their chocolate, the factory in usa will decrease production, job losses which means people will also lose health insurances as well, there is only one person to blame for this america, rise up now

Acts like we can’t get everything Canada provides….elsewhere.?

It amazes me that Canada still allows this clown ro drive them over the cliff. Guys like him can't make a deal in favor of their people because they refuse to goto to the table and act like a logical intelligent adult. Goid luck with this guy Canucks.\n\nThis man is a corrupt enemy of the US plain and simple. Canada deserves better. His actions will hurt Canada far more than the US.\n\nKeep in mind this whole thing has alot to do with stopping fentanyl coming across our border.\n\nThis man lies and twists the truth - as he always has. This would not be happening if he was right - but its happening. The US doesn't want to hurt Canada but we are done being hurt by Canada's corrupt leadership

As an American I ? percent stand behind what Canada is doing tRump and his traitorous cabinet need to be removed from office immediately. They are not acting in the best interests of Americans or our allies.

Dear Canada. Please build a Wall. The US should be treated like the 3rd World Country leadership is acting like. Sincerely a True Patriotic American.

If only JT had cared about his people for the last several years you may not have ended up in this situation. He screwed up Canada and now everyone is applauding him? Canadians are not polite, they only pretend to be, and then viciously turn and attack. You're all acting like the 30 year old still living in his parents basement that has been asked to pay rent or move out.

Everybody on this app quit getting gaslit every time this guy talks he lies through his ass. He’s the devil he lies through his teeth. He’s killed Canada. Everything rolls in Canada because of his carbon tax and his tax tax tax does act just like a Nazi. Don’t listen to a word he’s our enemy.

We in the EU should stand by Canada and offer whatever support is necessary, including financial grants if needed. We should also match Canada by imposing our own 25% tariffs on the same goods and services, acting as a force multiplier. If the ‘Mango Mussolini’ refuses to listen to reason, he must feel the consequences of these actions. Hang in there, Canada! You are an incredible tough people and while your country is mentally prepared for this trade war, the US have not given it a single thought… they will be surprised and the madman will fold

This is how a leader acts and speaks. I stand with Canada.

Trud it's all your fault I don't believe anything you say, you destroyed Canada in these last 10 years, without the tariffs we were already living with high cost of living, housing crises, now you acting patriotic and concerned about Canadians? go to hell

I am so sorry Canada and most US people that are against this TRUMP is a revenge filled senial acting nut who is being handled by Putin

CANADA IS AN ENEMY\nMEXICO IS AN ENEMY\n\nThey Are Allowing \nDrugs \nTo Flood America\n\nTHAT'S AN ACT OF WAR\n\nThey Are Both Controlled \nBy Violent Drug Cartels\n\nCanada And Mexico \n Are Not The Same\n Countries \n They Used To Be\n\nMr Trudeau Said ...\n\n The Religion \n Of Canada Is\n ISLAM\n\nMexico Is Flooding \n America \nWith Homeless Invaders\n\nCANADA & MEXICO\n\n ARE NO LONGER \n\nFriends Of America\n\nWAKE UP Or Get\n Taken Over \n By \nForeign Country's \n\nGangs & Citizens

In here, Canada, whines and cries about the tariffs all the while they continue to allow this because they are funded by a bunch of criminal organizations who are also unloading methamphetamine into our country. Iran and China are deep in the drug organizations within Canada and they are finding a lot of donations throughout the country in order to gain Influence. I stand with Trump. I think that there needs to be a 25% tariff immediately until Canada starts really doing something instead of just acting and talking about what they’re gonna do.

Regarding tariffs on Canada. The real target are corrupt Liberals, not us the Canadian citizens. Trudeau act like an evil teenage spoiled brat. His word salads and extravagant lavish expenses that benefits himself and his buddies NGOs have to be exposed and sentenced to jail. Trudeau is best buddy with Gavin Newsom, so, go figure right? We need an election, we will elect Conservative Poilievre for our new Prime Minister, and we need a DOGE for Canada. Cheers!

Nobody says anything about the 30,000 weapons entering Canada from the States every year...clean up YOUR act USA ... you are not holy

I said this many years ago!! Why do Americans act like illegals are only coming from Mexico? Nobody sneaking in Canada?

When TRUDEAU goes along with his entire incompetent woke Liberal party, guaranteed these number will drop dramatically on both sides, just like they have now Biden is out.\nCONTEXT: Canada population: 41 million --- US population: 340 million\n\nStatistics source: Canada-Gov irregular migrants webpage, (rounded) data represents ONLY illegal migrants that crossed FROM USA TO CANADA last two years (that they KNOW OF):\n2023 = 162,000\n2024 = 130,000\nTRUDEAU encouraged this by allowing them ALL to stay that POS\n\nStatistics straight from USCBP-GOV-STATS-nationwide-encounters web page (rounded) stats of ONLY illegal migrants that crossed FROM CANADA TO USA last two years (that they KNOW OF):\n2023 = 189,000\n2024 = 198,000\nBIDEN encouraged this by allowing them ALL to stay that POS\n\nNow look my fellow Americans, WE ARE NOT VICTIMS of CANADA. You KNOW we're not. STOP PLAYING VICTIM, it's grossly unmanly. We cannot hold Canada solely responsible for those ENTERING the USA illegally FROM Canada, without also taking likewise responsibility for STOPPING folks from illegally ENTERING CANADA from USA side. WE MUST BOTH STOP AND DEPORT THEM ALL. We'll BOTH be far more successful if we coordinate and cooperate towards the same mutual goal: TO DEFEND OUR OWN DAMN BORDERS AND STOP POINTING FINGERS LIKE WHINY LITTLE BABIES. WE ARE ALL UNDER ATTACK BY THE SAME ENEMIES. LET'S ACT LIKE IT.

There's something strange going on here!!! It,s not hard to find vid,s of illegals crossing from the U/S into Canada and police acting like bell hops helping them with there luggage. Seen exactly that on a utube vid out of Quebec,and there are many others of them crossing 20 to 40 at a time other places.??????

Canada needs to “ADULT” and act like a country and deal with this crap properly.

?. Tariffs tariffs tariffs until Canada gets their act together. ? POTUS DJT.

This is retaliation from Canada over tariffs, they are sending terrorists here and this should be considered an act of terrorism.

So Canada floods our country with criminals while imposing huge tariffs and provocative acts of defiance , shut down the canadian border immediately. Declare Justin Trudeau a wanted criminal within the US and hopefully on a larger scale internationally

A US citizen may be denied entry to Canada for a number of reasons, including criminal history, security concerns, or medical conditions. \nCriminal history \nHaving a criminal record, including a DUI, DWI, or other driving offense\nBeing involved in organized crime, human rights violations, or terrorism\nHaving a felony or misdemeanor conviction\nSecurity concerns \nBeing involved in espionage, subversion, or other activities that threaten national security\nBeing a member of an organization that engages in organized crime, money laundering, or people smuggling\nMedical conditions \nHaving a medical condition that endangers public health or safety\nHaving a medical condition that puts excessive demands on health or social services\nOther reasons \nBeing unable or unwilling to support yourself and your family\nMisrepresenting information or failing to comply with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA)\nHaving an inadmissible family member

I like Firstpost because she usually says it like it is. But this time she’s way too biased and went straight to play victim. Doesn’t she know how in places like Australia and Canada thousands of Indian people on temporary visas have taken to the streets to protest that these countries want to “deport” them when their visas are expired and they decided to overstay their welcome? Also, Indians used to be pretty quiet and kept to themselves… At least where I live! But lately they’re more and more unruly, and act like they own the place. A good dose of self-awareness wouldn’t hurt her.

They Omega as student or on visit visas overstay & work which is outrageous & illegal. It is definitely a crime. Wake up Canada & do as our great American President Trump has dome. All other Countries should follow suit. I'm not being biased as I'm Indian origin too but it's not right to break the Country's law. That is a criminal act.

That's what you get when you break laws. Bye. Canada next. I acts entitled to America. It is not. This is your mesaage

There are so many illegals Indians here. . They have taken all the jobs. ., In Brampton nobody else can get work. . They are also very rude and racist. . Lots of them are criminals. . It’s time for Canada to start deporting illegals . These Indians act as if this is India. .They don’t behave as if they are immigrants. . Enough.

Trudeau could care less about border security or illegal drugs. Now that terriffs are here, he acts like Canada is being pushed for no reason. What a pathetic man.

Omg. Retaliation!! Retaliation!!! ?? This is what happens when people get use to getting their way. In this case countries like Canada, China and Mexico. They act like entitled children. Meanwhile, I’m pretty sure President Trump saw this coming. He’s 3 steps ahead of y’all if you haven’t figured it out already. President Trump is a chess master. He’s applying the same methods that made him a billionaire on a global scale. Mark my words. Got my popcorn ready to go ??

Maybe just control the border instead of trying to act tough. As a dual citizen I can say Canada needs to learn its place.

Im a Canadian and only % of drugs or people go across our boarders so what Trump is saying is again not true. Americans kill Americans .... Canadians do not kill Americans. WE will not bow down to a bully. Trump cant manage his own drug problems so he has to blame others. Canadian will work hard and not buy American goods. We will do our part and stand with our governments decision on our Tariffs. Trump is a sick man and is acting like a spoiled child. He cant manage his own country so he attacks ours...Canada will be here standing strong long after Trump is gone.

Yes, let Canada defend itself because America will withdraw its defence. The Canadian president is trying to act tough to the detriment of his citizens.

Back in 2016, Trump introduced 25% tariffs on China 301-classification imports that severely damaged my business. For whatever reason, he then exempted the tariffs, but the public still assumed that they were in place. It was a perfect Trump win-win move to make the voters think that he was acting tough, while actually exempting the tariffs for us importers. Unfortunately, Biden got into office and immediately took away the exemptions and screwed us. I mention all of this in order to exemplify how nothing is as it seems when it comes to Trump. Sometimes you have to let this stuff play out before overreacting. I think that Canada made a mistake by overreacting so quickly. This will force Trump's hand to pursue the trade war, even if it was not his actual intention.

Honestly everyone is to blame. Canada and Mexico have both been riding the American gravy train for decades and never got slapped by any of the former presidents. And now that a president who puts the US first comes along everyone acts like America and our president is in the wrong. Just because something wrong was allowed to happen for so long that doesn't mean it was right. So two things these tariffs will do to Canada. One your economy isn't exactly stellar right now. Two Trump just has to pump up the pressure further and Canada will fold. It's that simple. As for Mexico they are squarely attached to America's teet. They need us WAY more than we need them. They will fold. And during negotiations we will make them ok US military operations on the Cartels. All people see is the word tariffs and don't think about the strategy behind them. Tariffs are a tool to apply pressure and gain leverage. Canada and Mexico would do the same if they could. So lets stop with the pearl clutching.

Trump claimed the US doesnt need Canada - Canada doesnt want to deal with a Felon who acts like a mafia mob boss trying to pull an illegal shakedown after a contract was already signed - the thing about trust - it is lost easily - gaining it back - not so much - so time to align with trading partners who don't try to screw us.

Canadian here. It is time for Canada to reduce dependency on US, and increase trades with other countries and patterns. Do not be acting as an USA's puppet anymore. We are not inferior to Americans.

Canada has exposed itself to criminals from various countries starting with India who are manipulating relaxed visa requirements. In addition there are no consequences for crime committed. \n\nAdd to that currently majority of employers are opting to hire students and refugees as it is easy to control behaviours. Provincial and federal governments are complicit and in process subjecting Canadians to hardships. \n\nWith American tariffs are on the verge of being forced on the country which in turn will deteriorate living conditions and as a result may cause chaos.\n\nCanada needs to gets its act together and deport majority of these students and refugees or be prepared to suffer.

You go Canada getting your act together

I have heard Indians (from India) refer to Canada laughingly as The New India. They come in and take over the tech markets whilst employing their own with the best jobs. Go into these companies and see for yourselves...about 85% Indians via Indian recruiters. And then they act as though nothing is out of place as they replace everyone.

How can Indians protest in Canada and demand for PR? They are not brith right citizens of Canada to demand a PR. It is Canadian Govt prerogative whether or not to offer PR to foreign national. Indians please don't act like fools and shame your country

It is a crime to enter any country illegally. I knew a girl that came into Canada illegally and she was arrested and thrown into jail with all the criminals and then deported. Why are these journalists acting like Trump is doing something wrong

Ukrainians were treated better in Canada. They had better benefits than non European immigrants. They should not complain Canada acted shamefully

UNCLE SAM NEEDS YOU!\nrecruit not deport silly! new Americans' must be in enlisted and fight for American citizen ship and the right to buy American property! \n\nlearning American values and defending American people!\nRemember you left your home and cutler to better your self and your family.\nadapt and stop trying to change America! only American flag on American soil any other flag is an act of war!\ntry to take American soil is the same as trump trying to make Canada the 51 state we are all ready to fight for our country just ask the Ukraine citizens.\nstop fighting for currency fight hunger at home!\n bitcoin is funding the war against uncle Sam! monopoly money just print more no war!

canada is a sinking ship and these thugs running this palce dressed in their fency suits act like clowns

Im from india and had visited canada from my work for a month. I honestly felt how many indians acted in Toronto. They acted unruly, shouting in streets, throwing garbage. Truly sorry to say ilbuy ill day this, prior i felt african heritage inmagrants i expected to do this, but it opened my eyes. They behave correctly in public places, integrate with local culture. Im so sorry africa. Boy my own countrymen were disgusting
