I would've loved for canada to go full petty and make their border patrols start whistling and turning around whenever they find fentanyl on its way to the US :D

I would be thrilled if Canada were a member of the EU

I had always thought Americans prided themselves on being rugged individualists. I see many of you here would blame Canada, shirking responsibility for your shitty little life. \nIf you’ve been handed a raw deal it’s your fault. Not Canadas. Grow a pair of nuts \nFO ??\n????

Ifthere was no demand for illegal drugs in the USA , there would be no problem......

The Orange Reich makes us the worst neighbor.\nWe fought it but couldn't overcome the vote suppression, per psychiatrists media brainwashing, and hundreds of millions billionaires spent on electing the Mad Orange Dictator so he would enrich them and hurt the other 99.9999997% of us and the world.\nCanada, please strike hard and call his bluff by making his supporters feel the insanity of his promises to hurt them and you. \nIf we can still vote next year, we'll switch the majority in Congress. \nThe majority of people here know you are a wonderful neighbor who has sent troops to fight with us in war, took in tens of thousands on 9/11, sent an extra Super Scooper to help during the LA fires, and been our best trading partner. \nI'm so sorry.\nP.S. Has anyone else noticed that MOD looks extra orange right now?

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.

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 !!

What a effing liar and POS. All he had to do was try and secure his side of the Border, which originally he said they would send 10,000 troops to the Border which was an effing lie on his part. Canadians need dump Justin Trudeau. He's definitely not good for your country.

His name is dump. Otherwise he would not be a rivalry to the whole world.

Putin advise Donald Trump to disassociate ourselves with all of our allies and to break down our defenses so he can then come in and start a war with the United States of America then we would have no allies that we can count on because of all the enemies that Donald Trump has made in once Putin can take over the United States of America and start bombing us then we are f***** and we will learn how it feels to be bombed and lose many of our people here in the United States just like Ukraine is going through right now and other countries that are fighting for their freedom and their people! Y'all have to understand this s*** is bigger than tears and Donald Trump is too f****** dumb to understand and to see what Elon musk, putin, Kim Jong-un all are plotting against his dumbass to hurt the United States of america, to hurt his own people, Donald Trump do not give a f*** about the United States of america, let's be clear or his people, and he damn sure does not give a damn about the Constitution of the United States of America

Why the fuck would people vote him out…

I thought tariffs affected me as a US consumer? So why is Canada placing tariffs on us if it’ll just affect their citizens? Am I understanding this wrong? Would appreciate if someone could explain.

I hope of you Americans that stand with Canada voted for Kamala....i'll wait, As the popular and Electoral college would suggest otherwise.

I wish europeans would find such strong words. We need to stand up together

Seems really disastrous that Trump would start a trade war with the Canadians.

Fifty percent of Americans don’t want tRump. We hate what’s happening. We hate him and his fascist ideals. I wish the world would know it. It’s not all Americans. It’s the uneducated, racist, and/or sexist half.

Ukraine, Europe, Mexico , Canada and the lists of enemies now rising .... Hmmn, Americans the Bible is now playing out. \n\nThe Scarlet (Red) Party would soon sink you if you don't wake up.\n\nTariff war is a pretext, DT wants Canada and Mexico.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

Trump just pissing off everyone in the world; including his own citizens. Trump does what he wants. I would say he isn't a smart man.\n\nAs a Canadian, I still love my American neighbours but Donald can pump sand ??

Love his speech, but tbh facts don't bother a Trump.. idiots are not open to arguments and facts its just about feelings\n\nNgl, if the US don't want Canadas resources, here in Europe we would like to buy it ?

If tariffs are bad for the consumer of the country that implements them, why would Canada respond with tariffs?

I would be happy if we Europeans would have such a leader in these terrible times !

Who can now have any doubt but that Trump is Putin’s man in Washington?\nTrump and Musk have absolutely no care for ordinary Americans, so why would they care for Canadians, Europeans or Ukrainians?

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

This feels like an action movie where villains cause a catastrophe to crash the financial markets, scoop up cheap stocks, and get rich overnight. Normally, Bruce Willis would step in to save the day. Time for all the Bruces of the world to rise—let’s get to work!

WHY? \n1. The USA starting expanding NATO even though we said we would NOT (Thank Clinton)\n2. We did it again even though Russia said please don't (Thank Bush)\n3. Putin supposedly meet with a international group of news reporters to complain about. (I never heard that in the News did you?)\n4. We then said we were considering to except Ukraine into NATO. (Kinda like a Russian version of our Cuban Missile Crisis)\n5. Russia's Military is not equal so cant use that against threat but Russia is very good at Internet attacks. (2016 Russia attacked our Election and got Trump Elected)\n6. We did pretty much nothing about Russia attacking our Election, and they continued to attack our election in 2020 and 2024 (Why do you think Trump favors Russia)\n7. DOJ and Judicial System failed us in not prosecuting Trump in a timely matter. (When the Supreme Court is rigged we all fall down)\n\nGood luck to all the good people out there.\nGod save us

.... Ugh. I don't understand my fellow Americans. I do not understand why they would want to have someone like Donald Trump represent us. I mean is he trying to piss off everyone outside of the US? Don't even get me started on that Trump Gaza AI generated video. Does he really view himself as being a gold statue? I seem to remember a story in a book about people that worship the gold idle of a bull. So does Trump think he's bigger than God? Obviously. Maybe it's the end of times and Donald Trump or Elon musk is the Antichrist. But nevertheless it's a shameful time to be an American citizen.

Cool. So what we told people would happen has started to happen. Even after we campaigned against it. God this is so awful.

This speech is unbelievable impressive!!!! Wish there would be more guys like Mr Trudeau, his words got me 100% and I hope something or somebody stops this crazyness and incompetence of this so called President of the US. It is really sad and insane what‘s going on between the US and their allies. Greetings and good vibes from Germany!

Why would you give 5 billion away just before a25% tariff tax war to another country?? Should have kept for your own when in need!!

Canadian ARE polite … I would had a DOUBLE 50% COUNTER tariff in place.

If Trudeau acted like this and primarily focused on the economy he would’ve been unstoppable \n\nI hate Trudeau but what a good speech man

I'm European and I am so proud about Mr. Trudeau and his team. What an intelligent people. The speech is simple to understand but together it is so strong and says all that matters. Applause. 20-40 years ago US was seen as a dream country here in EU, every east European dreamed to live there, but not anymore. Today most would not go to US to live even if they are payed to do so. US reputation is in historical downfall.

We in Minnesota would not be upset if you cut off electricity to minnesota. We would actually encourage you to cut it off in action against our dictator. People need to see it happen. Love you Canada!

Putin is laughing his a** off. This behavior towards Canada is Satanic and evil at its core! Hitler would be proud of trump

Amazing, a World leader that stands up to the thug known as Trump, if only America politicians showed such leadership America would not be in the mess they are in now, Trump will be know as Passion Fingers, because everything he touches he FU#KS

It is very simple, just like Donald Trump is, he puts the tarifs on products, so live for people get even more expensive, then after a while he will change his mind and the tarifs wil disapear and products gets cheaper again. THEN he will proudly say that he took care of the high prices. This all he will do to show he was right that he would take care of the Americans and lower the prices and 80% of them will believe it and will say that he made good on his promise. This is the art of the deal.

Africa is not worried about Trump. Why would Canada be? Everyone will be fine ❤

I wish my President would Speak this Honestly and Kind-Heartly

In truth Kamala Harris won, but cheating through vote suppression enabled Donald Trump to become president. Even so, had the election not been close, Trump would never have been president again. It's good for Trump voters to feel pain for their choices, the boomerang has come back to hit them in the head. ? They only learn the hard way.

This is all the turds fault. If he only behaved like these leaders we would be ok. Smdh

Trump is playing chess and you’re playing checkers. What you’re doing is no surprise, of course Canada would do reverse Tariffs. We’re ready to bring more manuf back to the USA.

Remember, lunatic MAGA voters voted for this. They were told this would happen and they refused to listen. Bunch of bigoted racist hateful assholes who ruined the American economy and its trade relations with its allies. Just know that tariffs are the least of your problems. The sentiment from across all American “former” allies is to completely boycott American goods and services. And that is not going away regardless of whether tariffs on either side are dropped. You want fascism, good for you. The rest of then sane west ain’t with you. Get rid of your pro Putin fascist Nazi saluting government, then we might be open for negotiations.

Mos Def PM Trudeau laid the Law down with the facts,... something Trump can never get his dumbas_s head around. Laid it down in spades!!! Way ta be, Justin. Proud of you for gettin' yer hands dirty and accepting no BS. Suck it, Trump.... you just added another nail in the shit show coffin for all the American people you are supposed to promote, care abou.t, and make their lives better. Trump you just conned all Americans; good job dip shit. The only trouble with the honorable promises made by Trudeau.... if somehow we end up with a dud like Polievre.... Polievre has stated he would never have helped Canadians out like Trudeau did during the pandemic, and several other statements Polievre has made, signal an uncaring, out of touch, and dangerous to Canadians, politician without a plan.

If I could only use 1 word to describe Trump that word would be POISON!?

So if fentanyl is the problem, why do Americans get high on it till they die? They’re also the problem. If it’s not fentanyl it’s dope or meth, or crack, hell, they would snort dirt if they had no drugs.

Why he didn't show that kind of leadership before, maybe he would be PM of Canada.

If Trump was a Russian asset, this is exactly what they would want him to do. Destroying NATO, dismantling the US government, taking our defensive capabilities like Cyber team stop focusing on Russia, and finally cratering the US economy is EXACTLY what Russia wants. If MAGA can't see this, you are blind and deaf to reality. I can't believe I'm watching this happen!

trump is going crazy, no real man or business would do that.
