This man is telling the truth! I STAND WITH CANADA . I’m a US ARMY VETERAN AND IM ASHAMED OF WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS DOING . Canada please give us to time to contact our government. It’s very dumb . It’s what Russia want , the enemy . Mr. president(Canada ) THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT LEADER .

oof, minisiter, sir, I dont want to be rude or crass, or seem like a know it all, you seem lovely. But you DID get one thing wrong that I have to point out...Our government isnt lying to us about ushering in a golden age for Americans...Theres a bit of fine print there, easy to miss, the government is actually bringing in a golden age for the .01% of Americans. \neasy mistake, no biggie.

We, the people, don't have free education, many students own loans from universities.\nWe can not buy houses, and no programs help us.\nWe (USA)have a lot of homeless, criminals, people with mental health, PEOPLE ADDICTIVE TO HEAVY DRUGS, plus the alcohol, weed, cigarettes, undecated young people, 30 percent only have a banchelors degree the 70 percent in the whole country don't have university education and not counting young people getting pregnant with toxic partners and their kids repeat the same poisonous life affecting their generations touching lives in a bad way.\nUSA has a lot of potholes in the roads, our foods have over 300 harmful chemicals to harm our health, the health system sucks, education is low teacher teach with youtube and are lazy to teach, educational system is super slow to process student classes or to advice them they make a mess in the documentation of the payments or financial aid, we have to baby sit the educational system to do their jobs and get things done, the food so expensive the egg, milk, vegetable, fruits, gas so expensive it never went down we still paying in LA 5 dollar per gallon to 6.50.\nUSA RENT are for the roofs some states do not even have rental control student loans kill people with HIGH INTEREST THEY GO AFTER YOUR HOME CAR TAXES .\nthe government is not to serve it wants the we the people serve the government.\ngovernment uses our taxes for their personal investment and we the people pay for it.\nThe USA government gives bread crumbs to its own citizens, what can other countries expect from it? The worst part is that most citizens are blind, and we need to wake up and make the government do its job instead of putting our tax money in their pockets.\ncountries need to look for their people but sadly the governments use their people very few are have justice and education.\nUSA say they help but they beat up the ones that are down and take advantages of countries that are in war USA exploit them is an investment not help USA always gets more of the double of what they help invest in countries like congo or eukrania USA want the minerals,land of eukrania and the diamond, land and resources of africa.

So now the government in Canada wants to defend us & tell us to stand united but in the past decade this country has turned into trash as they gave it away with an open door of Indians taking over and not giving AF about the people born and raised here - the adds on the radio ask us to keep our money in Canada and untie, but we dont even have a Canadian culture left anymore and people living here long enough know its true unfortunately, this was a great place to live but they destroyed it long before this issue - cost of living, housing crisis, immigration, gangs, crime etc. - If they want to keep letting people in here then start a service to help us get out and relocate before asking for help from the people you hurt

TRUTH!! The truth hurts Trump’s plan of chaos!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau; Republicans need to hear the TRUTH and end the misinformation! There is no end to the illogical actions that Trump is making but tariffs have been proven to result in a recession. Cutting thousands of jobs of people making $18/hr is insane!! Now, the government can pay unemployment and healthcare for people who were paying taxes! Then there is revenue lost because National Parks and Federal common spaces are closed. Then there was the this: CDC restricted from updating Americans on the latest epidemiologist reports on Covid, bird flu, the chickenpox outbreak in Texas, flu, and every other potential pandemic virus. Women and children will die as a result of this action! \nAgain, illogical anctions along with Trump aligning himself with Putin and every other dictator. He can move to Russia if he wants to live his life under Putin. He treats everyone the same; expendable!

I want this trade war, and I want Trudeau gone. I am from Canada. \nSo many people do not know about his government and the damage they caused.\nFacts little then 1% get scanned at ports. Canada does not screen airflights enough. \nAlso, Trudeau did not close the air down from covid to safe borders.\nTrudeau is lucky he is not behind bars the scandals he got away with is insane.

The Canadian government attacked its farmers who didn’t want to depend on the United States, and its citizens supported the dictatorial government. How quickly they forget!

???⛽???The Canadian government attacked its farmers who didn’t want to depend on the United States, and its citizens supported the dictatorial government. How quickly they forget!????

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

You go Canada we love y'all we don't want to see our government either

I’m in Los Angeles we want trump and Elon and all trump administration out of government.. believe us not every one is with these dumb president

Sadly Taiwan just backed down and gave Trump whatever he wants. TSMC pledged 100 billion US dollar investment in the US to produce and research the most advanced chips in exchange for empty promise from Trump. Our government is spineless.

Say what you want about his competency, but the fact the rest of the government agreed with this move says everything I need to know and I love it. Ronald McDonald is seething right now?

i do not believe the American people want a President who will destroy our ties to the free World. the founding fathers of this democracy and the constitution would have placed Donald Trump and his cronies under immediate house arrest, stripped them of any authority, and taped their mouths shut while the government is reformed and the ties to the free world are re-established. He is a bully using our highest office to prove he is all powerful to do harm against anyone below the office.

We don’t want this either, our government is run by a mad man.

Trump and Maga are like any crazy regime, absolutely full of magical thinking and not based in reality. So 2+2 = 6 and if you don’t agree, you hate America. Average Americans are expected to believe that a bunch of billionaires and companies that have been robbing them blind for 40 years will now have their backs because they are actually in government instead of just pulling the strings from the sides. Or because they trigger the right people on the Internet. . I also hate how every leader in the world has to pay some kind of false reverence to Trump even though they all know he’s nuts out of some kind of decorum. Just want somebody with balls to get up and say fuck him and fuck his lunacy. And shove your decorum up your arse because Trump doesn’t have any. It’s about time you realise what you’re dealing with and pull the gloves off. Playing nice and nice and reasonable is only playing into his hands.

Our borders aren't safe. Trudeau opened up our borders to allow all these immigrants into our country and mow have ISIS terrorist here in Canada. Trudeau is the biggest terrorist in this country. We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for Trudeau. He is the biggest liar. He put Canadians at risk. Since Trudeau got in the suicide rates have gone up and it's Trudeau who is at fault. We are fed up with what he has and continues to do and we are feeling completely lost with how we are going to get out of this mess. Canadians want an election for our prime minister. We want Trudeau gone. We don't have any faith in our government officials.

Unfortunately, our government (republicans) at the moment don’t care about us. They taking away from our children’s education , (seniors) money for food and health care. They don’t care we die just as long as they give a tax cut to the rice. I really pray that the he changes his mind. However, I don’t really see it. He’s very crazy guy. They’ll have empathy for others. At time it seems like he’s calling his bluff to everyone. hHe don’t want to give in. He wants to be in control.

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.

Stay strong Canada, I don’t want this government or these tariffs, I pray I’m with the majority, this is NOT my America.

I’ve never been to Canada I’ve always wanted to go visit. I’m from CT in the USA born and raised here. I’m ashamed of our government rn we must be the laughing stock of every other nation for all the INSANE EXECUTIVE ORDERS ONE AFTER ANOTHER WITH NO REAL INTENTIONS OR PLANS THAT WILL IMPROVE ANYTHING FOR THE USA! All while “Selecting” billionaire elites into prominent positions of power & these ppl have no background knowledge or experience whatsoever for the positions that they’re being selected for!! The whole world has gotta be laughing at us in the USA because this is insanity over here now!!!

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

The border is a smoke screen for what Trump wants...our resources gor nothing. He says the US doesn't need anything, yet he wants, Canada, Greenland, Gaza, and is holding Aid over Ukraine's head for an unfair trade deal of resources. He wants everything his greedy little hands can grab. \n\nI am glad my government is getting more trustworthy trade partners because we should never be so reliant on trade with the US again. \n\nWe are boycotting US goods, services, and destinations. The bond will never be the same. Once you lose trust, it isn't so easy to ear it back. We can't trust Trump and who knows if the one after him will be any better.

You people from XYZ are really like the EU hypocrites that all you got is words. As a Canadian, I hate Trudeau and everything his government has done to the country. I want a PM like Trump that is willing go against the entire system(deep state) and dig out all the dirt even though you're in the way of a lot of powerful people and organizations. Out of all the world leaders today, Trump is the only one with that kind of courage. Compare that to Trudeau—aside from his nice suits and polished public image, what has he actually done to improve the lives of Canadians? \nWe need a DOGE go into WHY WE ARE PAYING SO MUCH TAXES. When I was living in Vancouver, I (and many ppl) would just drive cross the border to get gas and groceries because it's just much cheaper once you're on US soil.... For years we cannot retain any talents because they would just migrate to the states because the pay is much higher with less taxes. I used to live in a bubble thinking that even though life is tough and it's harding to make a living here but at least it's more peaceful here than the States. That is not the case anymore and everything is getting worse in the past 10 years.

Anyone of sound mind, a leader, a government would want to continue to strengthen relationships with it's neighbors BUT instead, deliberately dismantle it and let it's citizens in both countries pay the price. And once again dirty filthy politicians are not looking out for it's citizens. Why are people in power so hell bent on ruining the world?

He quit so he doesn’t represent me and my country. I can’t wait till we no longer have to listen to him. Canada is a crippled government. It doesn’t have a government the people want. The USA president is attacking us when we aren’t functioning art full strength. That’s unfair tactics.

The orange pumpkin went insane after he was caught stealing from banks for his bad habits .\nWe are sorry we're not part of Canada and intelligence governing instead of selfish crazy people wanting to side with Putin ...I fear s world war unless he's impeached AGAIN ?

As an American, this makes sense. We have always had a deficit with canada and Europe. Trump wants that to end, and America is always stronger on its own. As much as I like our neighbors in Canada, your government is trash and has been trashing your country. You guys need your own donald

We don't want this, either. <3 Canada is a wonderful country and neighbor. The true American people care. We can't say the same about the people hacking away at our government and profiting from it all. We're on your side, Trudeau, because real Americans are on the world's side. That's the actual truth despite the actions of the oligarchs here. We've been overrun.

Trudeau was asked to do 1 thing. Take reasonable and responsible actions on drugs. He didn't. On purpose... He knew that this will cause tariff war which she wanted because now he will be able to blamed Trump for his government failures, price hikes, worsening standard of living in Canada, growin unemployment, inflation and other issues that Canada is facing, which are the reasons why Trudeaou is the least popular he ever was in there. Which is also why he will lose next elections and Pierre will replace him.

All Americans want is reciprocal tariffs..(preferably zero%)if we cut a tree down the government is up our ass

We don't want this either. Our government sucks a$$!!!!! ??

I honestly believe Trump wants these tariffs because the 25% tariff will go directly into government coffers and he needs money to cover the huge tax cuts he gave his cronies and the wealthy. Unfortunately, Americans will be paying this 25% tax. No winners on either side.

Keep in mind Canada, we the people love you. It is Trump and his associates that are being traitors to the United States. they know it will harm American families, but the United States government currently does not care. They want to harm Americans so that they can create a slave class and a ruling class.

From Massachusetts. We do not want this either!!!!!?. We stand with Canada more than our own government….meaning this President who got elected with less than a majority vote. Even his supporters are raging against him. I wish that there was something more that we could do as individual American citizens.?? I will pray for this insanity to end.

Trump doesn't care that he's starting a trade war w other countries bcus it's not about money its about power. They want to tear down the US and the ppl by making the ppl poor and destitute so they can swoop in w all the money & control everything. They want to rebuild a new government that's a dictatorship.

We don't want our government either. Pls Canada make us a providence. Pls know most of us do not like this. King George Trump is not our voice.

I would like to apologize on behalf of our completely corrupt and inept government. Please know that most of us don’t want this

From Camada\nHe leads the most corrupt government we have ever had.\nHe is complete narcissistic lying Sweer talker.\nOver 35 members of the party have left and are not seeking re-election.\nWe have the lowest dollar strength, doubled housing cost, high inflation.\nHe has added a carbon tax which makes everything more expensive and is raised every years. \nThey called a snap election during the pandemic and have given them s over 6 raises from 2020 to 2025.\nAlmost 80% over the country wanted an election and a large number of his party members wanted him to step down.\nSince then he has prorogued parliament for their own interest while intending to resign and find a new part leader.\nWhen citizens from his own country rebelled and protested against his authoritarian overreaching governance he froze thie bank accounts and call an emergency and had them removed.\nWe have the highest number of homeless we have ever had.\nTax payers pay for drug addicts safe supply.\nAnd on and on.

We, Americans, don’t want this either and yes our government is doing this to us and not for us. It’s heartbreaking.

This is the way you handle a Bully; don't play the Bully's game. Our corrupt government has been corrupt since the beginning of our country and has had our Troops in 22 wars and our Troops are living with half their bodies, missing limbs and other disabilities our corrupt government has betrayed them and has sat on the sidelines watching the Gangsterville Enterprise aka White House say how they want to take their benefits. I care for my bedridden brother and have been caring for him for 5 years and I have never asked our corrupt government for compensation for caring for my brother. The corrupt government has kissed the ring and has lost their testicles with those damn black dresses. It's time take them for and do their jobs. We have a Consultation that was written decades ago to save us from this government corruption, it's time to stop the Shit Show and get our country back; we will be destroyed because Evil, Greed and Revenge never wins. United we stand and in God we trust amen ❤??

I have been all over Canada, and i will say they are polite, kind, funny, great people. I'm from Montana, and we have always had so much in common. Americans ARE NOT in favor of the way our president, vice president, and the figure cloaked in darkness, ARE BEHAVING. PLEASE KNOW, not all Americans are in favor of our governmental policies, and some of us, quite frankly, are afraid. A lot of the American people are still the same. We want to send aid to Ukraine, we want to have a government that does its job, and we want to be friends with those on our borders. We're still here. We're not all like those on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Corruption, corruption, corruption. And Trump can no longer hide it from the American people. There is a reason you swear an Oath to the constitution and not a man. You have a democratic system of government and rule of law. Trump is dismantling that and having people (hacks, loyalists and sycophants) that are loyal to him not the constitution or system of government (he attacks it as the deep state) Corruption, because his personal wants and the U.S. government become one and the same. Medicare, Medicaid and veterans programs are all under threat for billionaires tax breaks. The clock is ticking. He will try to decree the law. Resist!

Trump is purposefully destroying the USA economy. Ask yourself, what he has to personally gain from doing so! Disconnecting the country from its allies and trading partners and their economies will tank the economy. Again, ask yourself, if you wanted to destroy the economy and the government, what are the steps would you take?

You have no leverage boy. Straigt your head out ... and btw. our Government does the right thing against a West, we dont want to be a part of it anymore.\nlet that sink in.

I am a American citizen I live America I feel the same like you say our government wants destroy us one for all because our citizens are stupid picking criminals to run the country

Hey Canada/Trudeau if you don’t want the tariffs from President Trump then remove your limiting factors on American goods to equal the playing field! Maybe these tariffs and our President may finally get you to allow into Canada as much as we do into the USA! Trying to play a game of tariff against President Trump will not do Canadians any good. This is part of the reason you won’t be the tyrant dictator you once enjoyed being. Not to mention the Canadian government should be doing a lot better on stopping the cartels and their POS fentanyl from coming into their country as well as across into the US!

I don't think I've ever seen or heard Trudeau this angry before. Justifiably so. I hate that your government has done this but Canada will not back down. There is no real justification for these tarrifs other than Donald trying to take our land and resources. \n\nYou can think what you want about Trudeau, but he is absolutely correct. These tarrifs, this trade war against a long time ally, partner, and friend, is indeed a very dumb thing to do.

From the US here Good job I am glad. Tell that idiot and the us citizens what a liar Trump really is. He didn't want the presidency. He only wanted to stay out of jail. I truly beleive this. So he letting Elon run the presidents office. A total bunch of idiots. They have fired 1000s of us government workers. I really don't think he is smart person Justin. I'm from ky. And I can garentee ypu it has nothing to do about drugs. Stick it to the sorry idiots. Again good job Justin.

I wish America had a leader like Trudeau. Imagine a government that actually says it wants to help its citizens during this challenging time in the world. Versus Trump and Musk cutting government programs that help vulnerable people survive.
