Blame the Maga for putting Trump in charge of their country.

tbh we've had Apple and Japan commit to over a trillion dollars that 150 billion we just spent in ukrain not to mention the face were about to get 500 more billion in rare earth. Fuck canada and their liberal media. cars and trees is all we get from them and we have plenty of lumber and Honda is putting a new factory in Indiana.

The reporter addressing this speech as anti-americanism is the most shocking thing. Let me put it clearly for you in case you don't understand, CNN: isolationist policies lead to reactionary policies. American policies are anti-canadian, NOT the other way around.

We Americans are in the process of losing so much due to Trump. In my case, my Social Security and at age 72, I am terribly frightened. I took down my American flag due to the winter weather a few months ago, and I won't be putting it up again until Trump is out of office. May God Bless America. May God Bless Canada. May God Bless Ukraine. May God Bless all countries free of Putin and may it stay that way.

So you claim the tariffs will hurt the US economy, so that means thew tariffs you put in place will also hurt the Canadian economy. Make it make sense.

Easing russian sanctions, then putting tarrifs to allies that makes stupid sense.

Trudeau, kamala Harris, and Zelensky all were in acting business. They put on quite a show.

We should bring back the galantine, and put Trump under it for treason

You are our friend but we won’t be taken advantage of make it make sense that you want free shit but don’t wanna put the work in stay up there and freeze or join like the old saying is against us with us or in our way

Trump seeks to weaken the United States, force Canada into the 51st state, annex Greenland, restrict Mexico economically, repossess the Panama Canal and put it all at Putin's feet. Trump is pursuing Putin's agenda at a time in the history of the earth when climate change is opening up the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole to industrialization and commercialization along new routes never seen before . Trump's policies do not benefit the American people at all, but rather the economic potential of the Russians, The King of the North.

Sad day for America? Did you guys forget the sithole ur PM put you in? So easy to distract it's hilarious

To the rest of the world: As an American citizen, I just want to say that I'm sorry our population was dumb enough put an incompetent, fascist, narcissistic conman fuckhead into the white house where he could screw everything and everyone (us included) up. Not all of us voted for this or want this. Not all of us are dumb enough to fall for his bullshit.

Listen to the idiots in this comment section, supporting the worst Canadian president in history. Trump is doing what America has always done, put America first. Canada is supporting Europe in pursuing the war in Ukraine, how is that a benefit to Americans.

The senate in Canada has been a two way revolving door sucsex dr. for child abusers, that has put canada in a percarious position to be caught in. Pull up those gross pants and kick out senate in canada for a panel of checks and balances enter ing sanity, , business people , not pedo folder holders!!!!

President Trump and you need to work it all out. As far as blanket tariffs go, I do agree that your goods and services, including tariffs should be mutually broken down to create benefits for all. Part of my lineage is from Quebec, and here USA. We all need to help each other. Laser focus to arrest and put in prison all drug terrorists should be everyone's focus. The wars elsewhere are sidetracking the two of you from standing side by side with one another, as you mention you usually do. Two friends, two parallel united goals, yet I do agree, again, that you said an enemy would rather divide you two than to see you both Triumph over evil! So PM Trudeau, get on the phone with President Donald, and the two of you tackle it out, include a .PPT write-up with solutions that both of you know is good overall, both instant, immediate and longer term. May God's Holy Hands be upon you and surround you, with the love of my Savior, Christ Jesus! Thank you! I love you all.

I am so proud of Canada. The rest of the world needs to step in here. Start putting tariffs on the United States and sanction Trump musk and any Republican that stands with them. Come on the world. The American people need a push to get rid of trump Canada. The true Americans love you guys

the return of orange crush the devil and his troops putting decency and proper humanity in peril theyre rich with power to invoke pain and pick pocket mentality

American here. Trump is an incompetent man! Not only is his trade war with Canada, Mexico, and China breathtakingly stupid, it also raises prices for Americans, costs American factories jobs, and isolates us from our allies. And just today, Trump paused aid/arms to Ukraine. Putin has no incentive to make concessions now, knowing that Trump has cut off arms to Ukraine. Our apologies to your Canada. We are fucked! If you could put a 100% tariff on Tesla, you'd be doing us a HUGE favor.

I think Trumps secret plan is to bankrupt USA because its in the interest of Russia. I have come to believe he is a secret Russian spy put in place to destroy as much as he can. The reason is that Putin has some kind of dirty secret on him that he desperately does not want to come out or That he owes him a lot of money and the Russian mob will kill him if he does not follow the plan Russia have set in motion. If the US does not wake up he will sell their country.

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

HOLD UP DONT THEY HAVE TARIFFS ON US ALREADY, TRUMPS IS ONLY DOING WHAT NO OTHER LEADER WOULDNT AS LONG AS THEY WERE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF! TRUMP DONT NEED ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICA BC HE PUTS US FIRST, HES TIRED OF US BEING DONE SHITTY AND THEN THEY WANNA GET UPSET WHEN HE PUTS ON THEM! CANADA TRUDEAU IS NOT VERY SMART, YALL NEED SOMEONE WHO PUTS HIS PPL FIRST BC HE ALREADY HAD 10% OF TARIFFS ON AMERICA AND THE OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL SO HES TRYING TO GET PPL HERE TO BUILD OUR OWN FACTORIES OR THEY CAN COME WITH THERE BUSINESS AND ITS A WIN WIN BUT I UNDERSTAND Y TRUMP IS DOING THIS 100%

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.

President Trump can forgive Zelenskyy, but he should NEVER forgive Justin Trudeau, he’s the one who opened up the Northern Border and let all these millions of Illegal Indian nationals to the country! Also another major abuse, which gets unnoticed, is the TN (Trade Nafta) visa, every year nearly 50,000 Canadians (mostly, 95% Indians) moves to America and steal high paid American jobs. It’s high time to stop this abuse, Indians are using this short route to immigrate to the US, high time to put an end to it!

Trump and JD Vance are cowards. Trump has always screwed people to make a buck. Small dick and shitty hair. Hanging onto British royalty that cannot stand him or his horrible offspring. And Vance, does his wife put that mascara on each day. What a pathetic piece of shit he is. .How did you vote for these twats?

Difficult to discuss facts with pathetic liars and deniares. USA puts itself in a very lonely place.

They are going to put us in the dark soon

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

This piss-drenched, panty waist is sniveling and mewling nonstop out of mind numbing fear. Someone knock this one in the head and put a man in charge, please? Surely Canada has one?

What a moron ! Keep your maple syrup & can’t wait until your economy gets crushed & you’re forced to become our 51’St state. \n\nYou can’t put tariffs on the USA & expect that not to happen to you. This is the worst thing you could do by raising them again on your side.

Put tarrifs on Trump's diaper supplier.

I agree with Trudeau. Everything the U.S. has done it has done to itself and the U.S. government is to blame for putting its own citizens at risk and jeopardizing the security of Americans by marginalizing domestic civilians to the role of consumer to the point that families get torn apart and homes get wrecked. Mark my words this U.S. government is a home-wrecker, not your faithful government servant that worked in the best interest of Americans alike from the Atlantic to the pacific coast.

I've been watching the news these days. All the leaders of other countries seem like classy gentlemen when you put them next to the guys in the White House.

I have a feeling that there’s going to be a civil war, thousands of workers laid off, inflation, veterans and federal workers jobs are gone, the very people who voted for trump were fired by him, farmers are abandoned now, and many people stand with gaza, and also zelensky , even the cartels are putting a target on the president , along with axed c.i.a. ,f.b.i. workers,so in other words… pressure is building and i guarantee its going to be a reverse january 6th, and don’t think that russia , iran, china and north korea is waiting for the opportunity to do us in, because we may be the most powerful country, but.. at one point, egypt, and rome were also.

USA is a consumer society. If USA wants to bring the deficit down then it should consume less. By the way following are the deficits US have by each country in order. Why trymp is not targeting Vietnam, Germany Ireland Japan or South Korea? \n \nChina $295.35 B \nMexico $171.86 B \nVietnam $129.38 B \nGermany $88.01 B \nIreland $87.23 B \nJapan $72.35 B \nSouth Korea $69.92 B \n \nCanada has $63.3 B trade deficit and mainly due to oil demands in US. All US has to do was to buy less oil from Canada and it would have worked out. US coming after Canada and putting an economic war because it want to acquire Canada. He is learning land grabbing from his friends, you know who is grabbing land in world from sovereign countries. \n \nThis may be the last election US had.

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

Everyday this so called president makes unthinkable mistakes and puts more money in the pockets of the rich.

I am Canadian and I love my country. I love Americans and my American family. What your President is doing is destroying everything he puts his hands on. He just wants to rob everyone of their natural resources and make them pay for the US border. We are not responsible for your side of the border. It's not our job to pay to fix your problems. Yet our Prime Minister is pouring billions of Canadians' tax payers' dollars on this. He needs to stop because nothing will get solved until your president stops what he's doing and starts paying for and fixing the problems within the US. I hope he gets booed off the podium tonight.

Jesus Christ, Donald Trump is going to put America against the ??? Check ✔️ \nNo 1 of them are/is BLACK ?

From the UK, standing with Canada. (And I really hope you put a 100% tariff on Tesla products.). Great, clear speech with coherent sentences and no hyperbole. Great speech. And if Canada is willing to do this, what will China do?

Trudeau let go is juvénile pants and putting on is mature ones... what a change, but it will last ?

Our US government is terrible. tramp wants to destroy usa, he does what putting wants. I feel like hostige trapped in hands of terorist.???

Way to go Canada Trump deserves that and I’m willing to see Trump look like the true idiot he is! Voters made the mistake of putting the Orange Turd in office. My taxes should go to Ukraine a country who didn’t ask for more hardship and for millionaires to pay just $720 in 2023 taxes I don’t want to support a fool.

I Chose to stand with Canada…My Apologies to all Canadians for the conduct of the Dictator Wannabe in our country, I for one did not and would never vote to put him in office.. Stay strong Canada for the Majority of the United States stands with you! In Solidarity to your cause. God Bless you all.

I am so sorry that our country elected an idiot as President. A President who puts himself and the selfish interests of billionaires ahead and above everyone else. Trump is a liar, a cheater and in no way whatsoever Presidential material. He is a clown and everyone who bows to kiss the ring is a traitor to this country! Country before party! Sorry to all Canadians for this idiotic decision.

You think your actually capable of hurting the United States of America!? Bwahahaha! It hurts laughing and that's it. Now go put your big boy pants on and try again 1:56

I said it when DJT ran for President the first time. He doesn't know how to run a country. He is not Presidential at all. He is going to bankrupt our country. Put out safety at risk while alienating longtime allies. We have never in my life time trusted Russia. What we will be leaving our future generations is debt. More debt then we've ever known.

Canada complaining about tarrifs when they’ve had tarrifs on USA for YEARS! Why is it fair for Canada to have tarrifs on USA and as soon as USA puts tarrifs on Canada Canada is the victim??? ? laugh my ass off. Canada you are NOT the victim!!! Tarrifs will effect your country the most.

When our president put tariff on the table and open negotiations…did you counter or did you go straight to retaliatory? \n\nBecause, it sounds like you failed to negotiate a deal. And went straight to retaliatory.

I dont get this? US puts tariffs on a country, they do the same? Is there any winnings here?
