We stand with you Canada, china and Mexico. Don’t allow a convicted criminal felon who escaped prison term to bully your nation. I blame morons and illiterate racial haters who voted for this dementia old man who thinks he is God. America, you can correct your stupid mistake in 2027 by voting out Republicans in congress. With that, this insanity is stop instantly. His brain will start to function.

The line has been crossed. America is now an enemy and axis power. Make no mistake about it. This is not posturing on the Republican side. It's deliberate, planned, and thought out. Trump IS on Russia's side.

Real Canadian here, born and raised in BC since the 80s, served in the 39 signal regiment. Make no mistake, Trudeau dug our grave, lowered our coffin. Trump only hammered the last nail.

Trump chose to do this its not Canadas choice and I simple do not see how its justified. This is a tax on Americans make no mistake its OUR prices that will go up as well as Canadians. This sure smells of Russian influence to me, its almost as if Trump is trying to hurt America, he is for sure tearing up the Government. If Putin had a wish list separating us from our staunch allies would be #1

I know this economic war on Canada will be difficult enough already but I urge my friends north of the border to do their best to fund a massive military expansion as rapidly as possible. Trump is clearly setting the stage and manufacturing excuses so he can invade and force Canada into becoming his 51st state and he's not going to stop with just trying to cripple your economy. Don't make Europe's mistake of thinking Americans are honorable friends and allies who can be trusted to keep their word. We're nothing but a bunch of ignorant, nasty, greedy, white supremacists who hate every other people on Earth. As a US Army veteran, I am ashamed of my country's unprovoked brutality once again.

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

Make no mistake Trump is an agent of Putin ... Treason.

Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. You made many mistakes during your mandates but now, you defend your country as a real Statesman.\nThank you.

This American stands with Canada. \nHit em back, Trudeau. He is not our king. He needs to go. Show the American people that voted for this Dictator that they made a huge mistake (again). ?

The only mistake Trudeau made was calling Trump a smart man.But I guess he was trolling him and appealing to Trump's fragile ego.

Two mistakes Justin, you trusted Donald Trump would to do what he promised, and you thought he was smart.

We (Americans) don’t want this either. Musk and trump are illogically running rampant. We (a good portion of us) want them gone, this was clearly a mistake on us that voted (or didn’t vote). We know trump and musk are liars, ignorant, and corrupt. We as a people have to figure out how to get this nonsense out. And for the record no I’m not a liberal and no I’m not a conservative. I see the pros and cons of both sides and both sides have beliefs I agree with and some I don’t.

Sanctions & tarrifs are a sign of weakness, desperation & decline plain & simple. \n\nAmerica is slipping into the abyss make no mistake.

I'm British and Trump has truly made a mistake by making an enemy of Canada and embracing Russia.

Canada’s economy is already weakened by Treudeau’s and the entire liberal party’s mistakes and now this ? I don’t think we can survive! I think trump is on his way to annex canada through weakening our economy…

I hope atleast some Canadians read my text. We have a madman in office.. A huge mistake on our part. Please do what you need to to do. It is money that seems to be the only think this monster understand. Im am other understand your position. I think Don old has gone crazy.

We don't want this either Prime Minister Trudeau. Please don't mistake the actions of a mad man with the hearts and minds of most Americans. We stand with you guys!

Just 4 months ago, this rat Trudeau said America made a mistake in voting for Trump, instead of a woman. Americans voted and overwhelmingly chose President Trump. Justin Trudeau should rather try to repair the damage that he has done to Canada and let the Adult Trump run the US.

Mr. Trudeau you've made some mistakes while prime minister in my opinion but when really needed you have been there for your country. Very well done! Thank you!

Love Trudeau or hate him... he is not backing down, and neither are the Canadian people. We love our American friends, we love your products. We love how you value freedom. But make no mistake, back us into a corner at your peril. We are nice, happy people but we have a warrior spirit.

If there was ever a time to enact the 25th Amendment, this is it! Make no mistake, people. This is a much more serious action than many of us think it is. As crazy as this POS is, I wouldn't put it past him to try and start a war in order to annex Canada, for their minerals, oil and gas. He hasn't the slightest idea of what he's doing! What a NUTJOB!! ..He should be in a straight jacket, not the WH!

Trudeau is a big drum full with mistakes

Canada is the government equivalent of don't mistake my kindness for weakness

Just because Trudeau is stepping down, make no mistake, All Of Canada will be fighting back against the disgusting orange turd!!!!!!!!!

Canada says do not mistake our politeness for weakness....

Terrorist don't affect governments they affect the people that's why Trump blew it and made another fucking stupid mistake the Importer pays a higher price he turns around and just raises the price to the American Consumer people not even knowing really how much they got raised but they usually toss in a little bit extra and then blame it on the government that's how dumb this is

Let us be crystal clear, what's happening now, from abandoning alliances, to siding with adversaries, to starting trade wars with our largest trading partners, is the fault of a single man, Donald Trump, while being enabled by Congressional Republicans.\n\nMake no mistake, American businesses and consumers are going to pay a dear price for the decisions of this administration.\n\nLastly, trade is the remit of Congress from a constitutional perspective. Unfortunately, Congress has progressively ceded their authority to the Executive over the past decades. They simply must retake their power at the earliest possible opportunity.

I think america is still not learning on their past mistakes. They need more example on why electing DJT is a big mistake. I don't even know what they can do to stop him.

I am from New York ?? but I am standing with Canada ?? all the way ? I am not supporting Trump or did I ever voted for this orange piece of $#*+. Trump voters and fanatics you are the blame for your ignorance. So go ahead cry on social media for your mistakes and ignorance you will never get a sympathy from me ever. I am done and I am standing on my business.

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

“Make no mistake”. You guys love saying that as you have some extraordinary knowledge. Trump is one of the brightest business men in the world. He knows what he is doing. Canada has taken advantage of the US for a long time and Trump knows this. I’m not even from the US and this makes sense for USA long term.

What a big (sad little) man! How happy he is to have this tariff situation for his personal political gain. He (and my provincial premier) puts his (and my) country Canada at financial peril with his bluff and bluster for a mistaking a negotiation for a battle, the latter that he won't win.

Do NOT mistake our politeness and courtesy for weakness! We are SAVAGE in battle, ruthless, merciless. Beware those of us who can hit Berserk state!

It was a mistake to try to placate Trump. He's a demented egomaniac and he's too dumb to negotiate with. Appeasement didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with this Nazi scumbag either. Canada has no choice but to make the American people suffer in the hope they will apply pressure on this senile, diaper-soiling idiot.

Trueau was wrong .. Trump is not a very smart guy.. He's an idiot! Please make no mistake and know of the idiocy you are dealing with!

Mr. Trudeau you made a mistake when you said Trump was a very smart guy. We know he’s not.??????

Canada! We didn't want Trump. It was a mistake. Forgive us. Help us fix this! I love you Canada.

Thank you, to all our brothers, sisters, friends and allies from around the world. Canada loves and respects all of humanity. Canada supports the rules based societies and international law. We are a loving, compassionate diverse nation that comprises of all nations as citizens from around the world. \n\nYou know us and we know you… we are connected. We look forward to making new friends, strengthening existing ones and we are open to free, fair and peace loving people. \n\nMake no mistake. Our kindness and compassion should not be mistaken for weakness. We are forged from the steel of our earth. We will go over the boards when our friends and families are attacked internally and around the world. \n\nLong Live Canada and Ukraine! Elbows up…

From Ukraine with respect. A few decades ago our school hired a Canadian as a native speaker to teach us some spoken English. He was not very smart and made some grammar mistakes here and there. But what surprised me is how on his 1st day he tried to make a joke, smth. “We, Canadians, have nothing to apologize for, except for Celine Dion”. He startled to giggle, searching our faces for a sign of approval. There was none! We love Celine! To this day it astounds me how many Canadians badmouth their great singer or their own Prime minister. What is wrong with you? Like every Canadian I’ve met kept saying many unpleasant things of Trudeau. You should be proud of your prime minister the way you are proud to be Canadians and slow down on insulting him!

Why did I support Trump? Damn what a mistake, he's obviously a Putin puppet, he doesn't care about the working class, he only cares about the rich. He seems to be trying to destroy America purposely.\nI am a two war veteran and I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

As a disabled US Veteran I did NOT vote for this administration. I do not want these tarrifs. And I feel sad for our country. This is not what our country stands for. This isn't our agenda. I feel ashamed and embarrassed by the country's actions in the last month. I'm sorry Canada and Mexico. There are other ways to deal with these issues and tarrifs are not it. People are only now realizing the HUGE mistake they made.

Thats where all of you make mistake. What has President Putin done to you people to hate him so passionately. Don't you know that south world see you as worst dictators. God is fighting on behalf of Putin..KNOW THIS

The mistake is in thinking the US is friend to anyone except Russia now

The mistake is thinking that Trump is operating by economic principles with public well being in mind. He's satisfying his narcissistic needs. Everything he does is for aggrandizement, demonstration of power and sadism. Everything Trump does makes sense from the point of view of a malignant narcissist sociopath. He has skills as a manipulator and is a moron at everything else.

This is 100% about Trump wanting to appear 'strong'. He is the kind of person who mistakes bullying and cruelty for strength.

big mistake, not EEUU, blame the orange clown....

Remember Yankees don't mistake being polite for weakness, you may learn the hard way...

What a huge mistake is Trump making.

Looks as if Trudeau has learned nothing from Zelenskyy’s mistake. Getting nasty with Trump is a HUGE mistake!

The united states made a huge mistake not stopping trump and backstabbing ukraine and europe - the united states will now feel a huuuuge economical hit as well as a pyhsical one as the world including canada, mexico, uk, europe, south korea, japan and all the free countries will not work with, trade with or ever trust the USA ever again. Massive own goal America.. shame on you. FK TRUMP and FK PUTIN.
