It's not a tariffs war you Canadian Trudeau idiot... Donald Trump put a tariffs on you because Cartel's dnt Cross drugs through the border if you dnt do you side of the bargain to keep fentanyl by crossing from your side of the country.. helloooo how stupid can y'all be it's not a tariffs war get that straight.

Many of us did not vote for this idiot and we tried to tell those who did what they were getting . A lying fraudster and rapist and first of all con man liar. We were shocked as many of you Canadian people. Because of our constitution we have to win three more seats in our congress in order to impeach him. He has hurt many people here by cutting healthcare and even our money. I am on legal fentanyl and ending this medication would kill me. I agree illegal fentanyl should be stopped it’s a very dangerous drug in the wrong hands.

Yes Fentanyl is a terrible thing. But I know for a fact its the 1st thing they give you in the hospital now a days in Canada for pain not sure about the United States. Obviously in very very small doses but im sure the price us right.

fentanyl is a pharmaceutical, it's a really important medication, shouldn't really be 'wiped off the face of the earth'.

If Americans didn't buy fentanyl it wouldn't be snuck into the country

I’m not a fan of Trudeau but well done on a great speech . Unfortunately Donald will simply say we haven’t done enough to curtail the flow of fentanyl into the US

These people who take fentanyl take no responsibility for giving drug dealers a reason to bring this drug into America! Instead of these ridiculous tariffs put money into helping these people get clean!!!

What are the chances that there is more US-made fentanyl than Canadian smuggled fentanyl?

Too little too late PM, should’ve enforced that fentanyl crises long time ago.

That just shows you it was NEVER about the fentanyl. That was just a weak excuse for trump to institute tariffs smh.

The fentanyl issue from Canada is another smokescreen. Trump could care less about anyone who dies in the states. If he cared about the people, he wouldn´t be working behind the scenes to invite Russia to take over the USA.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Trump has been jealous of Trudeau from the beginning. Especially when he saw how Melania looked at him. And because Canada is his Ukraine.

As an American, Trudeau, as he mentioned in his speech, is no friend of mine. These tariffs aren't going to hurt me any more than the last 4 years in america has under democrat leadership. I lost family to fentanyl, I lost my job due to terrible democrat economic policies. I lost my home. I lost my savings. I lost all hope of ever owning a home. Im losing my mother to what I am sure was the jab. I've got nothing left to take. Tariffs aren't going to hurt me. Liberal policies, from people just like Trudeau, have destroyed my life. I want to see him in ruins.\n\nI feel for the citizens of Canada. I don't care what liberal news media says- I know that Canadian people want him gone too.

Canada has easy fix, do what Trump ask and stop fentanyl and illegal aliens=no more tariffs. Mexico a little more complex, in addition to the above issues add in factories being built and in mexican for sub human labor costs and making top profits in America.

Mr. Prime Minister I’m a proud Canadian. I know that we are ethical and we have integrity. We complied with the fentanyl issue, but this is not about fentanyl, it’s about something more. Perhaps he wants to do to Canada what Putin did to Ukraine, without the military force, but with the monetary force.

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

Trump told you to stop the fentanyl going over the border into America !! and you chose not to ,,, now there’s 25% tariffs you have yourself to blame. Simple as that. Half the stuff that comes out of your mouth is a lie.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with fentanyl. He could care less about people dying, from fentanyl or from anything else. The man simply doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

Dumb dumb drump needs to address his own fentanyl problem not us! There's less than 2% of fentanyl coming through your borders nor OURS.

Why is no one saying the FENTANYL EXCUSE IS JUST TRUMP GARBAGE

I wonder if Trudeau can take that 1.3 billion to stop fentanyl entering the US and invest it back into healthcare and education? Trade war blows my mind. Trump you are an idiot.

Justin Trudeau is the man that legalised fentanyl in his own country ?

It's not about the Fentanyl or Border Crossings Justin. His wife's got the hots for you. This is personal to him.

I wonder if there is far more fentanyl moving from the US into Canada than the other way around. Just disgusting.

Even before the actions taken by Canada, one should look at balance of Fentanyl illegal trade. \n \nOn average 46 lb of Fentanyl were smuggled from Canada to US , which divided by the population of the US comes to a 0.049 mg of fentanyl per US Citizen \nOn the other direction, 950 lb Fentanyl were smugeled from the from US to Canada, which when divided by the population of Canada, ends up being 10.88 mg of fentanyl per Canadian Citizen\nNow, scientists say 2 mg is a lethal dose. \nJust think about it, trump's US could kill each Canadian 5 times over by Fentanyl. \nSo who is supposed to be pissed?

it's wild that America made fentanyl, overprescribed it, hyped it for everything, and refused to regulate it when data was already coming out on its addictiveness, in order to make our Pharma companies richer, and now are blaming CANADA for fentanyl.

Trump is going to go onstage tonight and lie about why the tariffs on Canada. We have done nothing to deserve this. One percent of fentanyl and one percent of illegal immigrants come from Canada into the USA. We give America a huge deal on oil. Trump lies about this to justify the tariffs. We did act on our border not just because trump demanded it but because it needed to be done. Still the tariffs came. He is a bully and a disgusting human being and I am sad that our friendship with the USA is over. He is putting Americas at risk and screwing his own farmers. We will not stand for this

so if Canada knew this why did they not act before, in reference to fentanyl and protecting citizens???

I support this more than Trump, and I'm sure the majority of Americans agree at this point.\n\nI can't stand the hypocrisy on immigration though. Canada has us as a buffer from a country desperate to get in, and they are still allowed to have very secure borders without getting flack.\n\nWhen America just doesn't want the faucet of immigration on full blast, we are the bad guys.\n\nThe Fentanyl excuse is absurd when it comes to Canada and the tariffs. It's a legitimate concern from the southern border. The northern border has never been an issue...

Trudeau is only waking up now regarding Fentanyl! During the last 4 years Trudeau has done nothing about the Fentanyl scourge!!

? all you had to do is stop the flow of fentanyl and ilegal immigrants and you couldn’t do that. Who It’s going to hurt more Canada or USA Time will tell.

President Trump’s tariffs on Canada are essential to protecting American jobs and industries from unfair trade practices. Trudeau’s corrupt leadership has exploited the U.S. for years while failing to curb the fentanyl crisis that devastates American communities. His government’s scandals and suppression of dissent prove Canada is no longer a reliable partner. These tariffs aren’t about punishment—they’re about securing America’s future, restoring fair trade, and putting American workers first.

The tariffs have NOTHING to do with fentanyl coming over the border, that's just another lie. DT doesn't give a fig if Americans die as a result of drug addiction. Have you ever heard him talk with compassion about how to actually help drug addicts in this country? This is about control, and power, and it's personal. He is a menace to all and we gotta stop him.

Now Canada gets to feel how other sanctioned or tariffed countries feel...Fentanyl or illegal immigration are just an excuse if Canada stiill doesn't get it by now ???\nCan Canada please have some dignity and stop this BFF nonsense...

Chuck Zito, the former head of Hells Angels thinks his longtime friend, Donald Trump is greatest president America ever had. He attended Trump's court hearing. To stop drug trafficking, you have to investigate money laundering. I'm not sure how committed Donald is to this important aspect of the war against fentanyl.

So what are the names of the 1.5million United States citizens Donald had killed with Fentanyl while he waited 1-month to impose these absurd tariffs.

Gotta stop that fentanyl that is killing his base in middle America, but Russian ships are OK since he's hoping to have the SS Krasnov commissioned soon.

I find it hilarious that the USA has a massive Fentanyl problem. Not Mexico, Canada, or Europe. USA only problem. Yet the solution needs to come from everybody else, except the USA

Re fentanyl, Canada is probably doing more than we do. Please don’t judge all Americans based on this weak man

so if using fentanyl as a reason to hurt our relations with canada... why not use fentanyl as the reason to idk go after the cartels and china who supply and mule it to america which has taken over 1 million lives???

You know why fentanyl is so popular in the US? Cause the live of an average American is so miserable, they want it despite all hazards and risks. Tariffs will make American lives even worse so desire for that drug will only increase.

It's unbelievable, but.. not really coming from the Orange guy, We love our Canadian brothers and sisters, im a disabled Vet, i stand with Canada and Ukraine, most the people of the USA do not stand with Trump, or his cabinet, in his delusional thinking about fentanyl it's a made-up lie it's propaganda seriously from the northern border and not the southern border there's no drugs coming through our Northern friends he's nitpicking at anything to start this trade war

I mean he’s certainly well spoken Im sure we all can agree but factual….not so much. People do your research on Chinese Triad gang members buying up real estate in Vancouver to launder money from drug sales. There is no doubt a growing problem in Canada that is impacting the US. By the numbers Canada illegal border crossings and Fentanyl crossing volume might pale in comparison to Mexico but it’s important to note that it’s still a rising problem they’ve yet to fully understand. Look at how much of the Northern US border is unguarded compared to the southern border. This tariff war between the US and Canada is no doubt a problem but Canada is absolutely a part of the reason it exists. In the end please remember there’s always two sides to every story and mainstream media is anything but objective when it comes to how they cover them.

In which direction is most of the Fentanyl crossing the Canadian border?

Meanwhile the US Healthcare Industry creates more fentanyl addicts DAILY than even any cartel can satisfy. America benefits from all the laundered money these cartels have. But everyone else is the problem.

American love fentanyl. Canada save your people from fentanyl.

He'll be crying to Trump on the phone begging for a solution, this is just a facdae. He will promise to do more regarding the illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl and 2 weeks later the tariffs will be lifted

Why are some commentators still talking about fentanyl & immigration as if it has anything to do with whats going on. a psychotic, narcissistic loon who hasn't the faintest clue about government, whose ambition is self enrichment and whose instincts are sel aggrandizement has been elected to the leadership of a country where his unique combination of idiocy, incompetence, insanity, deranged maliciousness and need to exact vengeance on those he feels failed to defer to him sufficiently (or just randomly, to assert himself) can do the most damage. Sure Trump is a fascist, but he's much, much worse: He is totally insane. What do the congressional Republicans tell their children, families and friends about why they're bowing to a clear and dangerous psychooath utterly devoid of human decency ? How do they explain their snivelling deference to a once in a millennia loonatic of these proportions. He's not only, obviously and blatantly imposing hardship on the most vulnerable Americans for personal gain, he is destroying US influence and respect globally. The rest of the world now see the US as a real and present danger. A pscho killer nation from whose derangement no one is safe. How long will this be tolerated; and how long before it occurs to Trump to drop a nuclear bomb on someone just to boost his ego? We aren't dealing with a rational mind, and RRepublicans need to be told that their 'king' went from a corporate tool to Caligula quicker than a Ferrari.

And you tube Continue to lie and say they have to block me because of the kids When he’s talking about Fentanyl

Don't tell me your admitting to creating a surveillance state along the candadian us border. Dumbass. Help out with the whole Mexican thing if you really want fentanyl off the earth
