Donald trump Is just bullying the Canadian And and doing a friendly extortion He don't know how to run a government He should get out of office Canada stands strong God bless Canada And the citizens of United States Donald White house

Russia has control of the White House. It's best that Canada, Europe, and any of the US' allies strengthen themselves because the US cannot be trusted

I am trying to get my Architect's license but immigration Canada keeps giving all the Intern Architect jobs to immigrants instead of Canadians like me who want to build more housing. If you want more housing then you need to give future real estate developers like me a job as an Intern Architect. I can't build houses if I am unemployed.

This American stands with Canada. I vote in every election I can, and I vote against everything this administration stands for. Being an American is embarrassing right now. And also terrifying. /Hugs to all our allies who are standing up to the bully in the white house.

People complimenting this guy:\n\nCost of Living & Housing Crisis: Housing affordability has worsened, with home prices and rent skyrocketing.\nInflation & Debt: Canada's inflation rate has been a major issue, and national debt has significantly increased. \nHow much you say: \n\nHousing Affordability\n\nHome Prices: The average house price in Canada increased from approximately CAD 466,000 in 2015 to around CAD 723,600 in December 2024, marking a rise of about 55%. \n\nRent Prices: The rental price index rose from 100 in 2015 to 124.9 in Q4 2023, indicating a 24.9% increase over this period. ??? you people are idiots. He speaks so well ???

My question is, do we have a dictatorship in the USA? \nWHERE IS THE CONGRESS and HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES??\nMy other question is does Canada have 25% Tarrifs on USA goods? Just the facts please, no political speeches. If Canada has 25% tarrifs then Canada started the trade wars, not USA...

Get lost justin Tradeau. He is khalistan separatist supporting PM of canada. He is a failed leader who has ruined Canadian economy and unable to handle housing crisis and inflation

As a U.S. citizen, my full support to you Canada- but going forward please emphasize that the Trump administration is choosing to start this trade war -not America-millions of us do not support or want to be associated with that tyrant in the White House!

CANADA SLAP US WITH 100% WE HAVE A RUSSIAN AGENT IN THE WHITE HOUSE…—-FROM A PROUD AMERICAN ?? NOT A MAGGOT ( MAGA IDIOT) AND I STAND WITH CANADA, UKRAINE, MEXICO…

Canada, I don't blame you if you want to flip the middle finger at us Americans. We are responsible for having a monster and lunatic in the White House. We deserve to not be liked by Canadians, period. If I was a Canadian, I would not welcome Americans into Canada. We Americans are losers and suckers everyday that we do not fight back against MAGA and all of its republicans including Congress and Donald Trump. We are weak and live in servitude to the MAGA tyranny that is slowing destroying the United State's standard of living and reputation. Canada, I personally stand with you, and hope that your country will assist the resistance movement in the next revolution to take out Donald Trump and MAGA. I am so fired up and pissed off at my government and Donald Trump.

Canada doesn't even exist anymore. The geographic area is now Leafastan. \n\nAnd treating housing as an investment and not a utility, should be criminal.

Canada helped U.S. on 911 like no other nation could,using a small airport meant for smaller planes to help by allowing jumbo jets to land,while we gladly housed Americans there. - Through Our Lens - A 9-11 Story

This action will add more homeless people and drug addicts on the streets of Canada and at the same time drive many Canadians out of their own country because of the already rising cost of housing and other necessities.

Not the people in the comments glazing Trudeau as if they forgot how shit the housing and drug situation is in Canada ? just because he's more eloquent doesn't mean he's a good leader. He literally resigned ?

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

I am an American but I stand by Canada do you say I'm a traitor? no the traitor is living in the White House, now put that in your pipe and smoke it ?

Nice, this will likely bring down the price of housing in Canada, a current problem.

Canada a safe house for criminals on run from law across the world

Trudeau can speak very eloquently and not get any results. The housing situation is a very big crisis and he almost resigned from the party and green energy regulations are not helping. At the very least Tarrifs will help Canada become stronger and tougher and self-reliant.

And now there’s word that Trump might “meet Canada and Mexico” half way and re evaluate the tarrifs. He’s gonna do this because “he’s a fair guy” and the craziness of it is that it’s a crisis he created. It’s like setting houses on fire and taking credit when you put the fire out. I don’t care what Trump’s move is next, I am done with USA. Can not and will not trust them until Tump is gone.

We are Canada lovers in Washington state. So ashamed of the idiot in the White House--why can't we have a cool, smart leader like Trudeau? We'll be in BC later this month, then again in July, spending money, having fun! We stand with Canada!!!

We all should know what happened when the US attacked Canada last time. Canada won and to retaliate the British burned down the white House.

God how I wish this man was my President. Please know, Canada, that millions of Americans like myself are disgusted by the traitor in the White House.

How on earth can an American government fight Canada yet kissing Putin ass. Abraham Lincoln please wake up and see what is in white house today.

Stay strong Canada. Australia overwhelmingly supports you, Europe and Ukraine against the madness coming from the white house

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau!\nWe Love Canada!\nWe are So Sorry that the criminal in the White House has brought us to this moment with our neighbors!\nMerci Beaucoup Prime Minister! \nOur hearts are broken!\n???

Trudeau will go down as one of Canada’s worst prime ministers. Under his leadership, the country has seen skyrocketing inflation, a housing crisis, out-of-control immigration, rising crime, and a worsening opioid epidemic. He’s divided Canadians, mismanaged major issues, and made life more expensive for everyone. Sadly, the damage he's done will take years for the next federal government to fix!!!

A sad shame for the ? disgraceful criminal in the white house!! So sorry Canada

We apologize on behalf of the almost 50% voters who didn't vote for Agent Orange and the Nazi-saluting President Musk. We love Canada! Please get your centrifuges running because you won't need much enriched Uranium to scare off Daddy Putin and his lapdogs in the White House. You have the know how. The only way to stand up to bullies is to show them you are not frightened of them. God Bless You!

Thank you, Canada, \nIt's not the American people,, Only those in the WHITE HOUSE, who want a dictatorship.\nNot even our own Supreme Courts won't listen to the American people asking for a hearing against the attacks on the American people.\nTrump owns the Supreme Court The House of Representatives.,\nDonald Trump and Vance need to be taken out of the White House. Musk is Distroying the American People.\nImpeach Trump and Vance ?????

As an American, bring it Canada and I support you. That orange orangutan sitting in the White House needs to feel it.

Anti trump American is total support of Canada here! Pro EU! Anti Putin! Get it out of the White House!

I’ve never been ashamed to be an American until Trump got in the White House. I cry for my Country and I stand with Canada and Uktaine

Thank you emphasizing the role of municipalities in this. Unlike other jurisdictions, in Canada municipalities are responsible for all transport infrastructure and utility infrastructure with the exception of major provincial highways, airports, and electricity and gas distribution systems. Meanwhile, Canadian municipalities can only levy property taxes and no income or sales taxes. Thus, Canadian municipalities governments are very attached to property owners, leading to the political conditions that make housing harder to build and new housing more expensive. The vast majority of the policies restricting housing supply and increasing costs of new housing, like development charges on new homes to fund infrastructure instead of taxing existing property owners, onerous and restrictive zoning regulations, and slow and expensive permitting processes all come from the cities. Honestly, for many city politicians it is to their advantage to make the crisis worse. Why wouldn’t a city councillor vote to raise development charges on building new homes instead of raising property taxes on existing homes to pay for stuff like replacing life expired sewer and road and subway infrastructure!? His constituents aren’t going to care about the costs of new homes, which affect people moving to the city or younger generations, which are either not yet residents of the city or too young to vote.

I stand with Canada as an American. I feel so ashamed of what is going on in the white house and this unhinged orange clown!!!!!

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

You have hard drugs, given by you doctors. The opioid addiction in the USA is a verry big problem. But the big pharma companies are donators for the sutoid idiot in the white house... So, better to fuck off on Canada, and not on big pharma...\nCheck your target

How about the guns and fentanyl that is imported to Ontario, Canada by American criminals? Our Prime Minister did not mention that, only because he is not about tit for tat. But hey, I have nothing to lose except for half my family in the States. You guys need to educate your children so they understand how good we have it or how good we did have it. You have thrown it all away because of the election of a predator and felon to the White House. Good luck with that.

I Vote that the PM of Canada will run for US president until the election of 2028. At least he is smarter then someone who is Trash in the White House

In Canada Trudeau has hurt us more with tax increases in last 5 years than Trumps tarrifs. Young people have next to zero chance to afford to buy a house. This is Trudeau's fault not Trumps!

I'm a Canadian living in the USA. I want to fly my Canadian flag, but the Americans will take that as our house wants Canada as a 51st state. It will never happen!

I stand with Canada...I may have been born and raised in America but I am of French Canadian descent and hopefully this menace in the white house will be expelled soon.

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

I am truly sorry with all that is happening in America.!!! I love Canada who always stood with the United States and now this is what is happening.!!! I support Canada.!!! Never voted for this government. But now, we are paying the price because of those who put this administration in the White House.!!!???

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

Canada is reasonable and polite? What did you do to Miss Meng of Huawei? Put her under house arrest with 'a tube of soap powder' ?

Not all Americans are with Trump or Putin. Many of us stand with Mexico, Canada, and Europe. Americans love their country, but many Americans are hurting and suffering and feel let down by our government. It's a circus now. We are sick and tired of the high cost of taxes, food, gas, housing, and now these tariff's that are only going to hurt Americans more.

Trump's plan is to be a dictator. Tariffs, lack of access to education, lack of affordable healthcare, lack of affordable housing, lack of access to nutritious food causes American's to focus their attention on basic needs Shelter and Food. When American's are repressed they don't have the energy to fight Gov't oppression. This is Russia and China's playbook. Canada and Mexico are being used to achieve this evil goal.

As an American I agree, with Canada and Mexico. I can't believe that the people of my country elected Trump knowing the damage he was going to cause. He should be in prison not in the White House.

To any Americans watch PM Trudeau ... this is house a statesman and head of state speaks and behaves.\nNot the bozos leading your country. \n\nTo Canada, the Commonwealth and the world stands with you.
