I hope as things get worse in the USA Trump was only able to do this because of our corrupt Supreme Court and the GOP!! Every single one of them threw this country and its citizens under the bus because of a short term political power and have ZERO spines. It’s sickening!!!

No one needs Canadian Vegetable fats, cereals and distillation products. Build your own country, internet and whatever. Everyone knows Canada is boring and pointless.They should replace Canadians with our gang members put them back in check.

One is a leader the other is a petulant child......I will leave you to decide

We have an enemy within named trump! But that does not excuse those that put him in office not one time but twice! What a disgrace. I’m scared for us!!!

USA should up Canada tariff to 50%. Screw them. No one in the world gives a sh1t about Canada. All your famous rich ppl came to the USA to get famous and rich. What have they EVER done???? ??? Our GDP to Canada is 17%. Theirs to us is only 2%. Don't need them.

No one really cares about what canadians think. Sorry but its America first now.

Canada has done nothing but put out propaganda. Canada is a Liberal country that interferes with our elections. Now if I want to know how to adjust my fake eyebrows or how to talk tough while having a small population and only one neighbor that happens to be an ally and the world's super power then I'll ask Trudeau and the Canadians for their input. In the meantime, their people don't work and the Canadians depend on us for their rights to the sea since they don't spend much on defense. America will win. Canada won't exist without America.

MAN..,, you’re living in a fantasy world if you truly believe everything you said, and apparently no one you know is affected by the atrocities done not to mention national security, which protects us against all enemies! The veterans who fought for us! The seniors who worked hard for their Social Security! And the aid not only for foreign but for all Americans! Do you want Ebola to get here from Uganda? And what they’re doing to our children education and necessary, medical aid, and

“The one thing he [Trump] has said repeatedly is that what he wants, is to see a TOTAL COLLAPSE of the Canadian economy. Because, that will make it easier to annex us; is the second half of his thought… \n \n“We will never be the 51st State. But, yeah, he [Trump] can do damage to the Canadian economy… Let us not fool ourselves about what he seems to be wanting.” \n \n“This is a policy decision by the American government, designed to go after the Canadian economy… We’re booing a policy that is designed to HURT US!” We’re insulted, and we’re angry… We’re going to fight.” \n \n\t\t \t\t\t– Justin Trudeau (4 March, 2025)

Says the guy that told Trump when asked about the number one way the United States could hurt Canada would be through tariffs. PS - Oh no, $155B. What is that, like 4% of US imports? We will be fine. Go rip off someone else and fund your own defense.

Its time for the world to move on without the USA ,Canada is one of the most democratic countries in the world ,They will get over it ,Move on and be strong ,Trump must have read the UK's shortest PM in historys book ,Yes Liz truss she crashed the UK economy in days ...Good job Donald you will have a warm welcome when you go home to Mother Russia

0:30 I'll make it make sense: Trump is a Russian asset. There are no winners in a trade war, but there's a clear winner looking on from Moscow. On the off chance Trump is NOT a Russian asset, he still could not be behaving like a better one, and that's what matters. Should we be even worrying where the true loyalties of a person are, when they're deliberately sinking the ship?

Trump is such an idiot, and so are his followers. They are going to pay for this, not the Canadian government. Despite Trump and his clowns say it's not. Another one of their lies.

Some people on here that should go live with Donald Trump and leave the rest of us to live in a country where we are kind, thankful and blessed with good neighbours .... One of the best countries in the world whose leaders are responsible law abiding adults. Not perfect country but one of the best in the world! ?

This clown ?who took an entire country hostage by freezing parliament, the one who systematically destroyed the Canadian economy is giving us a lesson in economic strategies! Canadians want immediate elections and the repositioning of Canada in the economic war with a strong government, supported by Canadians, not with gangsters and thieves in government!

Usually I can't stand listening to the guy, but that was one Goddamn good speech.

As an American, I respect Canada as a friend and neighbor. I stand with Canada and not the crybaby in the white house. Trump and his administration needs to be removed from office immediately. Trump voters are about to be in the find out phase.... Do you think they will storm the White House again? Something has to change... How can no one stand up to Trump...

I do not blame Canada one bit for coming back at Donald Trump. He deserves whatever Canada puts up on him.

America is now a pariah state. I'm a Brit, and I have traded all my shares that were in American companies, and my son has cancelled a trip there. He's going to Canada instead. America will not see one penny of our money.

Many ordinary people on both sides of the border may be crying. That is because of one man, a businessman-politician.

Dude no one wants this. Who the hell voted for this? As an American who did NOT vote for trump, I don't want this at all. This is bullshit.

I am one of the millions of Americans who despise Donald Trump. He and his MAGAts are ignorant fools. Keep up the good work, Canada!\n\nI would be thrilled to migrate north to you, although you are probably being overwhelmed by inquiries from other Americans eager to do the same.

We, the caring and smart ones, know anything out of orange’s mouth is crap and nothing but lies.

How come no one talks about the trade war Canada imposes on the United States. Who is asking about the tariffs they impose on us?? Lmfao ?.. can we get journalism that gives us both sides of the argument??? That’s what Americans actually want

Some one hand the orange clown a shovel so he can dig deeper and sink the usa !

trumpf loyal to no one.

Of course Mexico isnt doing enough abou Fentanyl, Mexico is one of the most corrupt goverments, actually Narco Goverment .

I want to apologize to our friends to the north. Most of us don't approve of trump's actions.\nI for one, stand with you. \ntrump is wrong and he's going to destroy our country.

Although one can agree with the nonsense to do with tariffs, it is sad that cultural changes contrary to the entire history of the human race have been allowed to prosper like a weed. Leave well enough alone: to march into the future a man and a woman are needed: the rest is just marginal.

Trudeau is a good one. Keep him canadians ??

Justin was wrong about one thing tho, that orange monster is NOT a smart man. I get it, gotta be polite I guess.

Nice one, Justin.

As an American, I really liked Trudeau's speech. I thought he did a great job explaining everything and responding to this situation. I appreciate his words to the American people. There's just one thing he said that was inaccurate... trump is NOT a smart guy!!

This is all for one Russian. Vlad Putin is soooooo happy today.

Not America... just one man

Yes! That aligns with the common Ethiopian saying: “የጠላት ልጅ አንተን የማይወድህ የቤትህ ውስጥ ነው” which roughly translates to “Your enemy does not come from far; they are often close to you.” It reflects the idea that betrayal or harm often comes from those within one’s circle rather than from strangers.

Not all Americans voted for the orange one.

Quit crying. No one wants to hear your feelings. You ruined your country and need to own \nUp to it and Canadians hate you

It's just refreshing to hear a leader who is an intelligent, educated human being, I wish we had one in America.

DUMB is the one word he hates, keep using it.

Canadian here. Thank you, people from all over the world, for your support. And thank you Americans, our neighbours, the ones who understand this... Madness... Thank you.

There is only one explanation, Trump is a KGB asset since at least the 1990s.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS JUST ONE THING . DOES AMERICA SUBSIDIARY ACTUALLY COMES INTO CANADA LIKE AMERICA STILL EMPHASIZE?\nAM BELIEVING THERE'S SOMETHING MORE INTO ALL THESE STORIES THAN TRUMP WANTING TO TAKE OVER CANADA. \nUNTIL THE GOSPEL TRUTH IS TOLD. WE CAN CONTINUE TO DECEIVED OURSELVES

AS an American, no one likes Trudeau. Trump is going to keep the pressure up until he is gone. I support that decision. Your border is not safe. Anyone can walk across easily. You were told to secure your border and there will be no tariff, you chose not to comply...face the consequences

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for showing the world how a true gentleman and leader talks to the leaders of another country in spite of the irrational, immoral and turncoat actions from a former Ally; our (?) new MAGA President Donald Trump. It's so surreal that this narcissistic, psychopathic person actually won the Presidential election (again). All I can say is I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of my broken country's politicians in Washington, D.C. at present. Many more Americans support the democratic policies than the anti-democratic that Trump's regime is spouting all around the world. Just know this isn't what most Americans believe and we don't support his thoughts and actions. We are trapped in this nightmare that makes no sense. We hope this is just a temporary change. These new policies benefit no one but the oligarchs of America (and world). I guess we are just going to have to take our punishment for the few years for not being able to prove that these people in Washington care NOTHING for anyone, including their own constituent, and are hell bent on taking down and destroying our American, Democratic way of life and we, the people, are helpless to stopping it dissolve and crumble. Thank you Canada for always being such great neighbors. Good luck, peace out!

Let's go 51..?. One big pity party going on in here.. Time will tell , we are not giving in....?. We are already making Canada Better. Your welcome.

Thank you PM Trudeau. As an American who DID NOT vote for the orange man in a Satan suit, I support your actions towards the US. No one wins in this situation, and I am prepared for whatever is going to happen. Trump must be stopped!!!!

It's not the uSA it's Trump and his cronies. Putin is no more a murderous dictator, than GEnocide Joe or Trump. CNN is the mouthpiece for USA imperialism. CNN lies and is biased against Palestine, drooling support for the illegal occupation that calls itself Israel. Don't work with Trump, destroy Trump. LOL Trump is NOT a smart guy, he is a narcissist and liar, criminal and gas lighter. He is trying to run the USA like a business, cutting off citizens from healthcare and social security. Trump is a criminal and there is only one end for him. JAIL

Canada don't bow to the dictator. Shut off the power to Michigan it make the ones pay more that voted for him.?

When WILL CNN TALK ABOOUT ALL THE TARIFFS CANADA HAS ON US!!!!! I am a very small business owner who seals things on Etsy. I sold only one thing to Canada for $13 and the tariffs was additional $65. The Canadian paid for it however it was my one and only sale there. So how is that fair for me? How is that fair to us?
