It's too bad our leader is so pathetic! Maybe we can be part of canada!!!

So when Russia takes Canada and they’re on your northern borders, maybe then you guys will do something about Trump

How lucky Canadians are to have an articulate statesman who is not unhinged, and maybe the US will one day have a President like that. (US citizen)

As an American. I don't think it was a good thing to bully other countries, especially allies and neighbors. There are other diplomatic ways to do things. I am not left or right, but I felt like Obama and Clinton had better ways with international relationships. I know our leader are trying to do their best for us Americans, and well we have been helping other countries for decades. Maybe, it is time that other countries start paying us back. I don't know why every move has to be on the media though? Especially the bullying with Zelensky? They could have talked over it without showing it to the whole world. What do yo guys think? Was that even necessary?

As a US citizen. I didnt vote for this atrocity. I suggest that Canada join with Mexico. Maybe between your 2 countries. You can get through to the MAGA cult. Believe me. We have all tried. They are still very deep in their delusions.

Yeah! Justin Yeah Canada! After “ our government “ get through taking us down, maybe we can be the next province???

Maybe Canada should make the United States its next province.

Maybe this will help the Dems grow a spine finally.

So refreshing listening to a head of state that sounds, speaks and acts like an adult and puts the interest of his country first. Canada ?? do what you have to. The idiot is stubborn and incorrigible and his cult members are no different. The indoctrination runs deep. Maybe lost jobs, no power/fuel, hunger pains, sticker shocker and depleted 401k accounts will register. Too bad more of us did not vote for common sense.\n\nOnly an idiot starts a war with “friends” and bend over for an enemy who’s using him as a tool to only enlarge his empire and weaken America. The executive part of his brain ? is severely compromised. \n\nGod help us all.

Maybe if Trudeau gave that 3 billion to the states and pay down canadas debt, instead of laundering it through Ukrain we wouldn't be talking about this today

We’re was this man the last 9 years??? Maybe give this Country a Military that’s Great!! And give us back our rights to protect and defend ourselves and our country this is what we need to stay independent sovereign and ? ?♥️god bless

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

This is what happens when you have a compromised leader the way the U.S. does. He is doing Putin's bidding because Putin owns him. Putin has Trump destroying relationships with neighbors, destroying relationships with NATO, and destroying the very government he works for. The Russians couldn't do better if a KGB agent infiltrated the White House. Then again maybe one did.

Canada is in a difficult position.If they stopped supplying oil to America it will only increase the price of petrol to American consumers and maybe possible shortages, but if the stop supplying electricity many will suffer terribly without electricity as no alternative available and that includes many businesses. 2:02

Wait wtf is happening? When did all this happen? I voted for Trump. Does trump have a long term plan here? How long? Like woah I don't want more inflation. But maybe I'll wait for trump to address this himself because I don't know if i can trust Trudeau

Refreshing to hear a politician speak so honestly and bluntly. Maybe I can forgive some of the things he did during the farmer crisis and covid.. or maybe not.

For the educated among us, anybody care to go into detail about why Canada is in probate and maybe speak some actual facts and truth

You don’t want this then keep the drugs out of are country. That is why you have been tariffed not the goods!! You choose to not stop allowing drugs into are place!!! Maybe you are just helping the cartel to get drugs here! You getting paid under the table trudgau

Unfortunately he is lying as per usual. The fent is coming from china into Canada though our east coast and then down across the boarder. The fact is it’s twice as expense right over the border from Canada. Wonder why that is? Maybe it’s because it’s another border that had to be crossed.

Maybe we should send troops to remove this guy, so Canada can be free

Figured you'd be on CNN we don't need anything from Canada you need us thank you Donald Trump now maybe our country will start making everything we need like it used to be

I wonder if it's the stain's plan to force displacement of everyone not maga. Maybe he's trying to drive us out into Canada.

Maybe if we’re lucky, we’ll get another Canadian “1812” style moment out of this, even if only symbolically.

Trump aims to make money with the tariffs so he can maybe pay down some of the American deficit. Right after that Trump will reduce his and business friends taxes. Trump only wants to reduce his taxes. It was never about drugs or people crossing the border.\nThe tariffs are nothing but TRUMP BS!!!

Oh no maple syrup ............nooooo . Have any of you Canadians looked into what Canada imports vs exports .......... remeber all those new green deal garbage is out the window here in the USA, so lumber is going back up , mining , etc . Just because our countries are next to each other doesn't make us neighbors......... your country has allowed trahs polices to over ride your citizen rights, you've filled your country with migrants , you support crazy sick policies allowing sexual perversion to be put before public saftey . If your countries economy is so effected by this maybe you need this , got a little to relaxed riding tr he coat tails of being next to America. And don't take it personal , this isn't about you as a country but more about American calling out americna companies who build factories only your side , get great deals for taxes and then import the products back to American at a premium retail price and then profit off the American people while offering nothing back .........the end goal is to either make thise companies pay more to get products over the boarder , or bring the factories back here and employee americans .........and last I check the Canadian government doesn't own or produce any products so the things that will be imported to usa will be the ones with a cost rise to the companies that are producing them ........ them............

The war on drugs started with Nixon it isn't something you can win by closing the land borders, they will always find a way to get drugs to people that want to use them which includes setting up drug labs in America. Portugal and The Netherlands have pretty comprehensive drug policies but America either won't take note or doesn't want to. Maybe it is about filling for profit prisons among other things.

People think Trudeau did well here. Maybe so. But his actions show he does the ball repeatedly

Take the trumpers alcohol and maybe they will stop supporting Trump

Hey …can you address the port tax on boats transporting goods. 1.5 million $ when a boat delivers goods through US ports if the boat carrying the goods was built in China. What about américain transport companies using china built boats ? Hope my country cuts your electricity. Than maybe Americans will wake up to the global mess they let this clown show create.

Ok, maybe Canada is starting to do something now...but where were you for the last 4 dam years??? Letting Chinese and other illegal aliens enter into our country!!! Only now you want to step up and do the right thing when you should've been doing it all along!!!! POS!!!!

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!

Maybe when Canada gets a new Prime Minister that doesn't take advantage of the U.S.A maybe things will change.

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

Maybe ist time for canada to join the EU?

Maybe Canada can bring down Trump and Elon Musk because Americans are not able and maga fraction of the Republican party don't have any spine.

as an American, I am starting to feel that maybe we should integrate into Canada as provinces

I maybe an ignorant on politics , but what happens when USA , well not USA but the Trump administrations has caused so much damage to the country to the point where other maybe most of his allies start taking responses such as that of Canada , and escalate to the point where perhaps USA lose most of his allies at least important allies such as Canada, the support of the global geopolitics , I Maine that scenario for a moment wouldn't that give Trump an excuse to align even more openly with Putin? I mean why would Trump want that at all who knows but he is certainly aligning with Russia just not openly at least that's what a lot of these decisions he has made recently seem to suggest I mean a lot of the consequences of those decisions and acting really seem to benefit someones agenda and to me a politics ignorant seems to be Putin ... Am I too crazy for thinking and feelings like that???

Hm. Maybe Trudeau really did improve for once :D

Instead of California seceding, maybe it should become part of Canada.

Well maybe Trump needs to raise the tariffs up to 50%. Since 25% only makes us even with the tariffs you charge us

Our closest ally and friend is Israel, Canada maybe no.4 or no.5 closest friend to America.

Let's be perfectly clear, here: The United States, leaving her markets WIDE OPEN -- as if a woman flinging her legs open and apologizing if she can't 'service' everyone in the crowd -- for EIGHTY YEARS and our workers, engineers, factory builders, etc., etc., all just watching our jobs float off to other shores...is OVER.\n> As is to be expected, Trudeau is keeping up appearances. \n> About THREE-FOURTHS of Canada's exports are converted to CASH inside the United States. \n> That means JOBS for Canadians, paychecks for Christmas time and tax revenues for Ottawa.\n> Yes, the US really does need Canada. We need Mexico. (We don't need Communists like China.)\n> But we have SACRIFICED our most vital naturally-occurring need: our personal and industrial productivity and creativity. \n> The United States, thanks to Her ideas on governance and empowerment of the People, invented and created the modern world that, now, almost 8 billion people expect (maybe closer to 6 billion of the 8+). \n> We have suffered unspeakably for the past -- at least -- 50 years as more and more of our ingenuity and creativity that once fueled our production has disappeared in the name of keeping the world free.\n> Enough. \n> The world WILL change. We can either accept China's version of Soviet Communism, relinquishing all global empowerment for whatever the CCP feels like, today.\n> Or we can bite the bullet and allow the People of the United States to restore what we sacrificed for the stability of a free world, starting about 80 years ago.\n> Either way, Canada will not go back to the way things were.\n> They can be better. But not like before. Period.

Hmmm this must be what its like when a Countries leader shows how its done....Talking about generational border controll using real available tech even!?? Im sure Actuall WALLS maybe involved... Not a FENCE WITH HOLES IN IT!!!

Unfortunately this is becoming a common trend with your new president even with South Africa saying South Africa is oppressing Afrikaners who are the richest and wealthiest in the country all because we took Israel to the ICJ defending racists? Maybe the DEMS were correct

There has to be someone like Trudeau in America that could be president. Maybe the US should become Canada, not the other way around. I would vote for that.

How I wish we had a sane decent leader. Who knows, maybe we'll have a military coup at this point. Thank you Canada for being sane and rational, hopefully we will recover and get a Biden type who cares about all citizens and our place in the world again...

Maybe Trudeau should have put Canada first over the last decade and we wouldn’t be in this situation. The guys a dirtbag and I can’t wait for him to be gone

Maybe Co-President, Elon Musk could explain how the U.S. NEEDS Canadian heavy crude to feed its refineries, and Canadian Natural Gas for Its electricity.

Maybe Canada can protect itself now. Good luck affording that.

Maybe America just doesn’t wanna be screwed over on everything they are just trying to make things fair and get Canada to do their part and have some patriotism seems like it’s working. And perhaps a little respect and gratitude would be in order instead of BS moral high ground and socialism.
