Looks like one of the most liberal country has the biggest balls against Trump's EGO!

The Liberal Lunatic media are treasonous at this point. Always twerking for foreign governments.

Déjà vu anyone?! \nOn March 15, 1939, Hitler summoned Emil Hácha, the president of Czechoslovakia, to Berlin. \nAs he entered the Reich Chancellery, Hácha was ordered to sign a document accepting the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia by German troops. In the room, Goering added that – if he did not sign – Prague would be bombed by the Luftwaffe, which was in position and awaiting orders. \nStunned by Hitler’s presence and his yelling, Hácha had a heart attack; he was quickly given an injection that brought him back to life and, with what strength he had left, he signed. \nThen, waving the document hysterically, Hitler told his two secretaries, Christa Schroeder and Gerda Daranowski: “This is the happiest day of my life. What some have struggled in vain to achieve for centuries, I was fortunate enough to achieve immediately: the unification of the Czech Republic with the Reich. Hácha signed the agreement. I will always be remembered as the greatest German in history.” \nThe scene is recounted by Ian Kershaw, in his biography of Hitler. \nTwo hours later, the German army was crossing the border into Czechoslovakia. \nHácha was arrested in 1945, after the liberation, and convicted of collaborationism. \nHe did not get to serve any years in prison; he died a few weeks later, in June 1945.

When you ALREADY have tariffs in place against the US you cannot claim Trump is starting a trade war. You started it. Now we have a POTUS with the sand to stand up for us not the world. Republicans understand that things will get tough. Liberals are already snow flakes that were in a melt down from the day Trump took office. We voted them out. I don't think Canadians are going to tolerate much for long unless you open the Treasury and give them money thereby bankrupting them. Drop your tariffs and Trump will drop yours. Is a win win.

If you all love a guy that has ruined Canada and was in black face many times go live with him by all means. I love my Canucks but hate liberals. Go have fun paying your carbon taxes ?

The liberal bots have taken over this feed ?

Well Justin Trudeau what about the last 8years you penalized and persecuted your fellow countrymen and made them suffer high prices and the ability to live comfortably?it’s funny what you say president trump made your fellow citizens of Canada unite and stand up, something you liberals failed at.

Canadians. Take my silly advice! \nJUSTIN TRUDEAU AND THE LIBERAL PARTY IS YOUR PROBLEM !!!

Such an embarrassment to actually Canadians this fraud and his deadbeat father was. I hope the u.s does this until liberals are gone to another country.

Trudeau....you put us here ........do you think Canadians have forgotten all the scams and damage you and your liberal party have caused ?

As a Canadian i havent forgotten what Trudeau done to us. Trump did not ruin our economy Trudeau and his liberal government did. Remember Trudeau stepped down for a reason NO ONE WANTS HIM IN POWER

Has everyone forgotten Justin resigned as Prime Minister and has refused to call an election. Justin just stop it, don’t keep Canada hostage. You have had 9 years of corruption and scandals. The Liberals are the problem and destroyed our economy not the US

Canada needs to sober up and stop whining, Liberals acting like baby giving away billions to support wars and some bullshit..there is so much work that needs to be done to Canada be great. Trump is actually doing a favor by doing that.....let's how we are going to independent from USA

The Trudeau Liberals are loving this trade war. For 9 years they have been working hard to destroy Canada and now they have Trump helping out.

What primer is invited to the meeting this afternoon, just the liberal no opposition no bloc québécois no ADP..

Hey trudey, you, biden and trump are aligned with a murderous terro1st that goes by BB, how is he different than putin? One of you liberals can answer that

Stay strong Cananda! Canada liberated The Netherlands not the USA..we will remember

Real Americans hear you and are with you 100%, Mr. Trudeau. Real Americans stand with Canada, Europe, and free liberal democracy, not Putin loving wannabe tyrants like Tump.

Thank you Canada for standing up to our tyrant. We civilized and liberal Americans regard Canada as our closest ally and friend.

Don’t worry, liberal filthy garbage America will do just fine. Remember we stand for traditional family values and that’s what God stands for…

Yet the Liberals are gaining in the polls...This country is finished economically. Trudeau is a weak leader and I would prefer someone who isn't backed by Trudeau to lead the Liberals, nor Carney who refuses to outright criticize Trudeau.

Don’t worry, liberal filthy garbage America will do just fine. Remember we stand for traditional family values and that’s what God stands for…

Canada’s Retaliation Against the Smoot-Hawley Tariff (1930)\nOne of the most immediate and severe retaliatory responses to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff came from Canada, which was heavily dependent on trade with the United States. Canada was the largest export market for U.S. goods at the time, and when the U.S. imposed high tariffs on Canadian imports, Canada responded with its own punitive tariffs on American products.\n\nBackground: U.S.-Canada Trade Before Smoot-Hawley\nIn 1929, about 75% of Canadian exports went to the U.S.\nCanada was also a major supplier of lumber, wheat, cattle, and minerals to American markets.\nThe two economies were deeply intertwined, and Canada had traditionally followed a low-tariff trade policy with the U.S.\nCanada’s Response: Retaliatory Tariffs (1930)\nPrime Minister R.B. Bennett responded to Smoot-Hawley by raising tariffs on American goods, specifically targeting products from the U.S. Midwest and industrial centers.\nCanada increased tariffs on over 16 U.S. goods, including:\nFarm machinery\nAutomobiles\nFruits and vegetables\nTextiles\nThese tariffs redirected Canadian trade away from the U.S. and toward Britain and other Commonwealth nations, under a new imperial preference system.\nEconomic Consequences\nFor the United States:\n❌ Sharp decline in U.S. exports to Canada\n\nU.S. exports to Canada dropped by 55% between 1929 and 1932.\nAmerican automobile and farm equipment industries suffered severe losses.\nMany Midwest farmers, who had relied on Canadian sales, went bankrupt.\n❌ Loss of a major trading partner\n\nCanada sought alternative suppliers in Britain, Australia, and other Commonwealth nations.\nThis permanently weakened U.S.-Canada economic ties, forcing the U.S. to reconsider its trade policies.\nFor Canada:\n✅ Diversification of Trade\n\nCanada strengthened trade ties with Britain and other Commonwealth countries.\nCanadian exports to Britain increased, helping Canada avoid complete economic collapse.\n❌ Short-term economic pain\n\nWhile Canada successfully retaliated, the tariffs raised prices for Canadian consumers.\nThe Canadian economy still suffered from the global depression, but it recovered faster than the U.S. by diversifying trade.\nLong-Term Impact\nPermanent Shift in Canadian Trade Policy\n\nCanada moved away from dependence on the U.S. and pursued closer economic ties with Britain.\nThis weakened U.S. economic influence in Canada for decades.\nRepeal of Smoot-Hawley and the Start of U.S. Trade Liberalization\n\nThe failure of Smoot-Hawley contributed to the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act (1934) under Franklin D. Roosevelt, which lowered tariffs and encouraged bilateral trade deals.\nU.S.-Canada trade eventually recovered, but the economic damage lasted for years.\nConclusion\nThe U.S. intended to protect its industries, but Smoot-Hawley backfired by provoking Canada’s retaliation. This case study highlights how tariffs can damage relationships with key trading partners, disrupt industries, and reduce exports, ultimately harming the economy.

As a Black American not a liberal or conservative I STAND WITH AMERICA.

I gotta say that I'm not a liberal nor have I been a particular fan of Justin Trudeau... but today (and for the last few weeks) I've been quite impressed by my Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. This Canadian supports a vast and vicious trade war against the United States. I do not have any hatred for the American people but I do have nothing but contempt for Trump and his band of traitorous scum! I wouldn't have dreamed that our closest friend and ally could be siding with an enemy proclaimed (Russia) against democratic nations. Trump represents an existential threat to democracy everywhere and must be put down by the American people like a rabid dog!

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

You know the truth President Trumpet, about Canada as our evidence proving sir that Canada’s Governments hire the international known Biker Criminal Organizations to put the Hit on Canadians whom have evidence against Canada’s very corrupted Criminal politicians of the Liberal Party and Conservatives whom for decades across Canada with their provincial underlings have turned Canada into a a Pro Domestice Organized Criminal state , all biker gangs in Canada and mafia have complete Criminal Immunity by all of Canada’s governments. Trudeau Pollievre are iars along with their provincial counter parts. Trudeau currently the head of his governments criminal syndicate’s. The governments of Canada are guilty of criminal acts against us by very much approving and hiring biker gangs and all their street thugs as well as many members of police and national security supporting these gang institutions with complete criminal immunity. The fact is that All of Canada’s allies that have embassies in Ottawa have protected Canada’s clear defined terrorist acts against my wife and I for almost 20 years one government after the other. The Trudeau Government has cut trade deals with other member states that include these nations forced to as part of the Trudeau liberal conservative agenda in trade agreements with out this being written with in those trade agreements that member states must adhere to a collective part of trade agreements that no nation in such agreements is allowed to present any criminal evidence against the governments of Canada by Canadian citizens . Factum. The Trudeau government and their entire Parliament of opposition are so frightened of our 20 years of evidence that they have closed off all my videos on YouTube to the public both with in Canada and outside Canada. The world cannot become all gangster states and gangster statemen for this will destroy the nations. Canada’s prime ministers have lied and lied and lied they do not at all deal with internal domestic criminal gang terrorism they secretly endorce all of it. Many American peoples suffer from the governments of Canada’s secret criminal gang Drug Trade. Trudeau for example decided to legalise cannabis a industry run by all the criminal organizations in Canada prior to legalisation making hundreds of millions of pot laundering drug money, Trudeau decides he wants a cut of the pot trade so he legalises all the criminal organizations running illegal grow operations now licenced to legally operate across Canada and sell pot legally to Canadians paying revenue Canada tens of millions in taxes the same organizations are now licienced by Trudeau to grow operations these same groups also are involved in international illegal drug activity in with South American Cartels and Mexican Cartels. Trump must come clean with God and take action against Canada 75 percent sanctions must employed. The reason why Canada refuses to join the U.S as a 51’s state is because we would then fall under the U.S Justice System and then the U.S would be shocked to see that Canada is a criminal state.

Your the reason why he put the tariffs on you clown. You've destroyed canada it's at its weakest point ever. Housing problems, immigration problems, too many people coming to fast Way to fast. Our borders are a joke the drug problems in this country is out of control and this is all because of you and your liberal commie buddies shitty ass policies and terrible ideas.

Let's not forget how Trudeau and his party ruined our country in the last 4-8 years... It's like Canadians are already forgetting that and are praising him? Sure I get these steps against tariffs are in the right direction but this man still sickens me. Canada is not the same because of him and the liberal party. It's time for change.

WE STAND UNITED ... CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL...WE ARE ONE TODAY! STAND STRONG CANADA!

Please liberate us from this dictator

Our dumb PM Trudeau is punishing Canadians by adding tarrifs to US products they need for their businesses and not given them time to find alternative canadian sources. He is not as smart as premier Doug Ford who is just adding surtaxes to products sold to US from Canada. He doesn't care if he did he would end poroguing of parliament and increase spending on military and border protection on all sides of our country he says that Trump is going to cause a recession in Canada we already have on caused by 9 years of Liberal federal government backed by NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.

We dont want your globalist world Canada. We are leaving the neo liberal order. Open boarder and the post industrial apocalypse you want to bring to tbe world. Problem is these leftist will sabotage and destroy thier own country just to spite trump and their own people. They support a nazi lead party in Ukraine where even gay marriage is illgeal. Leftist are sick curel people

He can posture and act tough all he wants but Canada will suffer much more than the United States. If you want fairness then make it an equal playing ground between countries. The majority of Americans, not like most of the liberals commenting here support Donald Trump

The real reason is Trump is at war against liberal democracy, where ever he find it. Every thing à little bit leftish is a enemy. And yes, like Putin, every thing that could make some critic of is government is a enemy.

no choice for Trump except to treat Canada like everyone else when liberal idiot sides with off shore idiots

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

Trudeau is a stupid ,corrupt out-going liberal leader in Canada, gallivanting in Europe and siding with Ukraine!!??? what did you exspect? your neighbor is against everything you sided with, you dumb schmuck liberal and you spent money over seas instead of home!!!??? you deserve to be imprisoned for treason

Trump is single handedly rescuing the Liberal’s election prospects.

I wonder is MAGA realize that through these tariffs they have pretty much guaranteed the Liberal Party of Canada will take the next federal election. Canadians WILL NOT elect a party or any officials they think might be even a little sympathetic to American interests.

Lmao , Americans don't give a damn what this douche thinks . I will be joyful that all the diaper head flip flop. Trucking cartel from Canada. ; driving our interstates like no speed limit exists. Will be off our roads. Just a liberal dictator that has made his country a police state over taxed pile of moose dung

Whether you are either a Liberal or Conservative or Independent north or south of the border, I hope you agree that this speech was one of the best heard and said this year.

Since the corporations pay the tariffs and the liberals always want corporations to pay their fair share this should be loved by liberals ?

He speaks about Putin being a liar, murderous, dictator. He should have a good look in the mirror. Trudeau has been a dictator for the last 9 years in Canada, killing our very own people with his drug laws, taxing people into poverty, destroying our healthcare system, I could go on and on and on. Trudeau and all his liberal cronies should be put in jail for the crimes against canada..

Everyone thinks that this is Canada standing up, but what this means is that the Canadians with our economy that is 1/10 that of the US will be taxed at 25% on our imports, this is going to hurt canadians way more than the retaliatory terrifs will hurt the americans. This may also lead to an escalated response from the US exacerbating the effect. Trudeau and others can't seem to grasp that there may be a long term strategy from Trump and this is playing into it. \n\nThe truth of all of it is that Trump does not like Justin Trudeau or the Liberal government.

Trudeau is a liar and does not speak for most Canadians, he has porogued our parliament to prevent an election and have a new government in place to deal with tariffs. Trumph is not our enemy the liberals have sunk our economy the last 9 years. On April 1st we have a government imposed tarriff called a carbon tax of 18 percent which will hurt Canadians even more.

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

As a canadian.....\nTrudeau cause more trouble in our economy for the last 9 years......look our $0,69 dollar......and massive debt and people can affort the cost of living.\nWoke liberal will be gone soon,......

Im canadian and Trudeau is a looser that doesn't speak for me\n \nThank you trump for showing canadians how weak our liberal progessive politicians have made our country

An other FACT ; don' t get FOOLED !!! : Liberals parti was about to LOOSE the Governance of Canada... BUT this "WAR" again President Trump was what the LIBERALS WANT !!!! Because now some stupids peoples have started to think the LIBERALS are now our "SAVIOR"... Witch is the VERY OPPOSITE of the TRUTH ... Justin Trudeau have to go HOME ...
