Thank you Canada ?? \nSorry for the inconvenience but we have a Dictator and he is not playing fair to you and to other countries. Blessings to your country and the people that live there. ???☮️❤️✨✝️????????????\nI LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT I FEAR MY GOVERNMENT.

As a Canadian I’m still not clear on how counter tariffs help Canadians? Won’t this just make things more expensive for us? Shouldn’t we just realign our allies for imports/exports? Can someone help me out here? Don’t tell me it’s just because we need to respond in kind so not to be ‘bullied’. You’ll need to do better than that. Seems like only governments win in tariff wars - not their citizens.

Thank you sir....I'm ashamed to call myself an American believe me I never voted for this maniac! I do not agree with this government at all!

From UK and am so impressed by the conviction of your government standing up for your country and against this abismal behaviour. Sympathy to the Americans who could see Trump for the villain that he is and are having to endure this. You deserve better. We all do. Standing with you, Canada, Ukraine, Europe and UK.

I am embarrassed to be a U.S. citizen. Our government has gone crazy.

If Putin is a murder? Then so is America? So is Ukraine? So is Palestine? So is Israel? In the 1990 Middle Eastern war USA ? tried so diligently to destroy the WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION!! ?? killing so many innocent people calling them terrorists. What do we call this action? GODLY ? Everyone is trying to show their power through Global Politics that they are greater than others and trying to rule every country in this world before fixing their own. Trudeau has brought Canada to poverty in his so called successful 2 terms government. He should think before he talks or like Hitler he should rehearse his speech in front of a mirror before opening his mouth in public, it's a whole lot of crap coming out in public and losing his sane ability. ?

Hey Trump, this is what a real leader looks like. As an American I'm so ashamed of our government. We love you Canada.

When a drug addict talks about stopping the flow of drugs his government oversees???????

Honestly the government needs to rehab-prison those who overdose. They are incapable of caring for themselves so it must be done that these people have a guardian or someone who oversees the

I think Canada will be better off than the US with these Tariff’s. The US government is grifting their people while Canada will help their businesses. Trump doesn’t care about US citizens, only his own glory.

What a fucking joke because the Canadian government is a piece of shit and we will win because we are America

I'm American and I sincerely apologize to the Canadian government and people for the actions of the Kremlin stooges currently in the White House. 100% support for you!

“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)

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I am powerless against my own governments idiotic actions that completely destabilize the world. Please understand that over half of Americans are just as shocked as Canadians, and we love you as our neighbors. We let a ruthless dictator brainwash our vulnerable and uneducated and exploit every crack in our system to get here. I’m very scared for what’s to come and it sucks so badly that we all have to pay for an egrogious act of an elderly nepo baby that doesn’t understand how government and the world works.

Donald Trump is not listening. In fact Donald Trump is himself quite greedy and his government is an Authoritarian regime or an oligarchy. please understand he , Donald Trump is now evil in his decisions world wide.

In the meantime his country is being destroyed by illegals. He can smooth talk but not govern his own country. He forgot why he's being tariffed. Your border only slowed down after Trump was elected into office. Before that my friends on your border said they were pouring in.

This is how a true governing leader leads a country???

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.

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!

This US administration will put America into nosedive recession. I don't understand why a government will do this to their country.

Hes right tho and i got the feeling the government going to whind up Impeaching Trump and getting the people he put in the white house because what Trump doing

As an American I don't want this either but yes OUR government Is HURTING everyone, I support your efforts to protect YOUR country. You are doing exactly what you need to do. Not all of us are stupid.

as a Canadian, i would like to thank Donald and Elon for their plans to implement the most innovative degrowth agenda imaginable. why dance around the edges like Canada has with its consumer carbon tax that rebated more money to most citizens than they spent on carbon taxes ? no, the DOGE solution to addressing climate change is much better .. just cripple the three north american economies with tariffs, put hundreds of thousands of citizens out of work, and make the Trump tax cuts permanent so that the federal government is broke as well. no more money means no more spending or consuming .. it's a win for the entire planet !!

Well spoken Trudeau. Its now up to the American people to remove the government it voted for

It's not about immigration or fentanyl. This is about following direction from putin. He has divided the people within our country and now separated us from our allies. He has removed trusted anerican press from the white house briefings replacing them with the government run russian media. We are the united states of russia. Get your vodka here

I'm Irish but after that speech I'd like to be Canadian with a government like that

As an American, I agree with ya'll and do not blame ya'll for what you do. Just know that most of us Americans do not agree with what's going on with our government right now.

Our government does not care about disabled, elderly, or anyone except his billionaire buddy's and giving the m tax breaks, this man spea9is a real president no name calling g, no threats, no bullying no blaming Biden, Obama

Crash the economy, anger the people, destroy the government - then hand it over to Russia. Why? Because MAGA is blind.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. I'm angry and disgusted by my country's government, whom I did not vote for. Unfortunately, you are correct that the trade war and POTUS allying himself with Putin will harm lots of Americans -- and Ukrainians and many other people worldwide.

Also from Buffalo NY, Wolf. This brings me to tears. I am sufficiently upset. We need to get those maniacs out of our government.

Wow, that idiot Trudeau expects to export Canadian products to our country free of charge, and now he's raising tariffs on American products that are exported to Canada because he's not getting a free ride anymore. A moron runs the Canadian government.

NOT ALL OF US AMERICANS ARE FOR TRUMP, VANCE,, MUSK WE STAND FOR CANADA, EUKRAINE. OUR GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT

What does it take to defect to Canada? I'm a (god help me) US citizen and want a incredible Prime Minister like you! You are awesome and you are doing whats right for Canada. I'm so sad at what our Government is doing. It's a disgrace.

Why only respond with 30B tariffs and wait 21days for the other 125B?? Weak government

More lies by CNN and Canada. Trump has never sided with Russia. Not now or back in 2016 when our American government tried to persecute Trump for collusion with Russia. Canada should own up to the fact that they owe American people 200 billion dollars a year because they can't support there own country. They let illegals and drugs pour in.

Its a joke. Well spoken trudeau. Stand strong, i expect our european governments to be with you!!

Trudeau stop saying the American people Trump is not the democratic president stop saying American people. Just say Trump. Most Americans don't approve. Trump tariffs not the American tariffs. Not our government it's Trump.

Yeah I’m guessing if trump made that call this guy was doing something nefarious behind the scenes. His people hate him. He’s a baby dictator. He’s in no position to lecture anyone about governments hurting their people!

For God's sake don't listen to trudeau. His government put us in the mess we are in and the tarrifs are just another kick in the stomach to us citizens

don’t be fool peasants they all in on it all the governments about the tariff wars just to raise prices on all of you don’t play the games

They = Trump! Your Government = Trump!

at the end of the day people get fucked economically and psysically by the governments.

Their government is so much smarter than ours. Sucks to have two jokers running such a great country ?

He doesn't care, wethepeople know that this is not personal. it's business. Do what you have to do. To our Republican government, please shut this down! Impeach Donald ??

Please do not call Donald Trump and Elon Musk the government of the United States. They are the idiots of America. I am an American and I will stand with Canada and the rest of the world against Trump, Musk, and Russia. I wish Justin Trudeau was the POTUS! We don't have a POTUS, we have an orange grifter in chief. He is deranged, spoiled and stupid. Our largest trading partner and the orange clown fucks it up, wow!

Bearing and tact. What ALL world leaders should have. Why is The Divided States of America making enemies? With ALL of the firings to so many government employees, the country's moral is extremely low. Rumored cuts to Medicaid, Social Security and Food Programs would be DEVASTATING to millions. There's a new wind blowing.??????

The Marxist dictator, Justin Black-face Trudeau is threatened by Trump and panicking because the people of Canada see right through his lies and would rather have a country govern the way President Trump does it and give the power back to the people instead of having it run by the world, economic forum

I am american. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. None of this makes sense. Trump is a Treasonous traitor Putins puppet and a domestic terrorist with a maga cult taking a hostel government takeover for Putin. \nTrump is doing Putins bidding destroying America from within. He doesn't care about you, Ukraine or the American people. He lies and spreads Russian propaganda.
