Come on Canada.. its time Americas allies give America back a little.\nThey can have Russia and North Korea.\n\nThe UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and China can get together and have our own agreements

Canada has alway had a tariff on US goods. Canada exports aprox 78% of their goods to the US, while the US exports aprox 17% to Canada. Canada will be crushed from this, but if that's what needs to happen to get them in line, then ok.

Yer thinking obiden is still in office. No, terd toe, your wrong. Especially talking about Russia, you are and have always been under our umbrella of protection and ya better watch yer tide pal because without our umbrella yer gonna get soppin wet, and from Russia!

I was thinking to send my 8 years old niece to teach Trump how to do good trade. She does it so well (polite,respectful, considerate) to get treats (chocolates, food, etc.) from us.

Its a tragic turn in history; US + Russia, smh. Canada go trade with us in Europe and Australia, we love you! ❤??????\nAnd to all the americans that didn't want this, take care and get rid of him fast!

Every leader is playing into trumps hands!! People everywhere do not understand narcissistic personality disorder. By every leader, media reports talking about him phoning him pleading with him is all fuel!!!!This also tells his narcissism everyone is under control!! This makes him feel powerful! Society really needs to learn about narcissists. This situation calls for leaders to ignore him do not call him media needs to drop stories!! But society has been so heavily influenced by narcissism it just can’t let go of the profits this whole shit show is going to create. Oh and by the way all these politicians are narcissists as well and now this has threatened their control. And guess who gets to go along for the ride and the chaos they create.

Notice how he started getting a bit of grey hair since trumpf took office?

I still cant quite get my head around why you Canadians at getting rid of this guy?

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine

Why did it take this to get Canada to stop these drugs from comming into the usa

So, everyone gets punched in the gut, except Trump, his puppet masters, and Putin.

The excuse Trump is looking for - especially on energy and minerals - he will come and he will take what he wants. Trump has stated that for Greenland and Panama and is pretty much demonstrating what he is willing to do to get minerals from Ukraine. Toughen your US border - the military is coming...

Start checking Canadian ports. The border is just a part of it. Maybe if they up the staff at Canadian ports we can get somewhere with this trade war. That's where a lot of Canadian cars are going after they get stolen they need to check more shipping containers for contraband. That's probably where most fentanyl or precursors are coming in.

It’s business. Stop crying and get used to it. It’s time the US put up with short term pain for long term gain. VAT is in effect the same as a Tariff.

I think the king is trying to hurt America to get back at the Democrats

Trump is a traitor that should get the chair for treason being puppy of Putin

well stupid went ahead and did it anyways ... like a toddler sticking a bobby pin in the electrical socket - orange will get a nice shock afterwards ...his ultimate goal is to please his love, putin, and he is doing it on a silver platter.

This man is a dictator he has closed down Parliament for 3 months , he doesn't like any opposition parties, like Biden, he doesn't talk to reporters, in 4 days he gets kicked out of parliament , He's just been a disgrace for Canada

As an American, i hope that the world does react to the United States as Canada has. And even worse. I hope that things for us get as bad as it gets because anything less will be ignored or brushed off as anyone elses fault. I want Americans to really understand what a horrible mistake they made in Donald. But my hopes or not, this seems very likely to be the case anyway.

As an American - I am completely ashamed of this terrible trump administration - clearly trump has no clue & only knows mob tactics to get anything done - I salute Canada for standing up against this clueless trump

See how feathers get ruffled when you get in their pockets

Trump is a danger to himself and others. His effect or his team have to get him committed against his will for everyone's safety. To those people who ate his power of attorney, this is orderly neglect it's not always about money, tax papers money, the team around him and is wife and see it clearly. Please have Donald a committed, please

Trump uses drugs as the reason we all know that is not true. Trump has to be the feared leader, as he cosy up to Putin. Trump likes isolation he wants America to be Russia allied We the people will survive but know that gaining our trust back will not be easy but we are up for the fight. We will not get in bed with a country that is siding with Putin

I do want Canada to become our 51st state but can we please also get Trudeau as our president and get the clown and his whole circus out of the office now?

I am so sorry Canada, and all the countries of NATO. The smart people in the USA did not cast our votes for MAGA. Please let us all hope we can impeach him and get back to the not perfect, however, loved DEMOCRACY we were and are.

I'm a Canadian who gave our sandwiches to American's that got stuck here on 911. I love America. I hope we can get back to being there for each other.

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

The convicted criminal and his vice president exercising abuse of power, beings without values, without respect for human life. The words do not match their actions. The liar will not get off scot-free, true ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the fact of refusing to acquire it, the worst thing is to deal with an ignorant person and it is especially dangerous if the ignorant has power. The convicted criminal announces his ignorance when he speaks.

Let's get this back on track. We need our friends!!!

When a Canadian starts to speak sternly to you, you know: Shit is coming. As a German, I am with the Canadian people. Please, don’t let yourselves get confused: Trumps blisteringly incompetent management is what the 36% of Americans who voted for him deserve, as well as the about 30% of Americans who DIDN’T vote at all. Sorry for the other about 34%. On a side note: Amazing, how Trudeau still flatters Trump at the end. Very diplomatic and manipulative. Because Trump is so dump, he falls for shit like that.

TRUMP just get rid of them please. He’s acting like a little kid.

When did Fentanyl get added to this tariff situation?

Canada imports food from the US. So 25% tariffs on that food will hit Canadians big time. And there is no other place to get that food. I am afraid Trudeau is standing on glass legs.

Canadians and Americans don’t get it Trumps a Russian Agent

Make the USA to get a passport to come to Canada like we have to do when Canadians go to USA

? We want a NORMAL president too!! O, Canada ?? tough love, I get it

The prime minister should not call Trump a very smart person, but what he is in fact. A dump, arrogant, egocentric criminal. His constant lies need to be exposed and publically corrected. Maybe if enough people do this publically it will drive Trump so crazy and he will react so crazy, that even his most loyal minions will realize they will need to get rid of him!

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

Can we get a real leader in Canada? \n\nThey will be back at the negotiating table soon enough.

We stand with you, Prime Minister Trudeau. We love you. I will not buy one Fuck1ing USA product. I will not go to visit my ailing sister in the USA. I am done with the USA until smart ass Americans get their vote right!!

Well Canada that is what you get for booing our national anthem and not following orders. If you're not going to secure your border then get ready for those tariffs.

How did they get into Canada on planes without being see apprehended?

It's getting to the point that as an american. I almost just want to move somewhere else. This administration is a clown show. It's tiring

Can we get Poilievre up there and send this woman back to directing 4th-grade plays?

Yet another sad and embarrassing day for Americans! Thanks MAGA!! You all are getting what you voted for!! Unfortunately, people like me that actually have a brain are sadly just collateral damage!

Don't get it twisted, Trudeau is a Dictator too

Impeachment time? God please get both of those clowns out of the White House.

Hopefully Trudeau is not all talk and no action.Time for talk is over get tough with the USA.
