There are winners. Becasue America don’t need Canada as much as Canada needs the USA

We love America and Americans, but if someone attacks Canadian sovereignty, we will fight back. If the Canadian government invites China to invest in Technology, Agriculture, Automotive, and Oil, Canada will emerge as a different, independent, and prosperous nation. This investment could create thousands of jobs, lower EV and fuel costs, generate significant tax revenue, and strengthen the economy, as Chinese EVs are more affordable than U.S. counterparts. Ultimately, lower energy costs would decrease the cost of living and boost Canadians' spending power, attracting foreign investors to Canada.

America is Canada's toxic gf that won't accept us dumping them

As a U.S. citizen, my full support to you Canada- but going forward please emphasize that the Trump administration is choosing to start this trade war -not America-millions of us do not support or want to be associated with that tyrant in the White House!

Good luck from Australia, If the US does this to Canada then NO US ally is safe, Trump may make America broke again. MABA.....

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

Our USA President Donald J Trump messed up when choosing a fight with a very well educated Leader in Canada. \nMost of America apologizes for Mr Trump and his crew. \nThank you for your patience.

I stand with Trump, Canada has taken advantage of America

Donald Trump has plan to invade Canada, Mexico and other countries in South America. If he will do it no Russia will support him that why he started make friend with Putin.

Sure this was necessary, but don't forget Trudeau has been putting tariffs on Canadians for a while with carbon tax and was planning to quadruple it. Trump might not be the hero for America, Trudeau is for sure the villain of Canada.

Trudeau and his lisp ?? The USA doesn’t need Canada Canada needs the USA - You mad bro ??? I love ❤Trump ! He’s got this liberal douche panties up in a knot !!! I think it’s hilarious- Donald Trump nor America gives two ? about Trudeau or his tariffs- DJT is genius

Blah Blah Blah, you arrested truck drivers and seized their bank accounts because they didn't want the jab. Let's see how long Canada makes it without America. ???? Good luck, Canada. You're going to need it!

I am a 72 years of female who lives in Canada with very strong American roots as I came here when I was 46 years of age. I have to say that what is happening between the United States of America and Canada breaks my heart. I have always known that Canada and United States of America worked and got along with each other all my life. Yes, my heart is broken for the Americans and the Canadiens who will suffer because of this trade war that President Trump started. Prayers for both countries.

Red state American, former Republican in recovery here. This is the only world leader I listened to today, and time well spent. Bring it like you're getting it, Canada. Decent America is with you. The better you fight back, the sooner we Americans can get our country back.

Trudeau is gonna start a war and America will wipe its ass with Canada.

This man closed Canadas parliament and gave a Nazi war criminal a standing ovation. No one respects him, he is purposely destroying our country. The war is against Nazi liberals not America. Save us from this tyrant!!! Save Canada! Do not be fooled, he has erased Christianity and given corporations full control, he is EVERYTHING they accuse Donald Trump of being and WORSE! America is our last hope!!!!! I will die fighting to restore our democracy in Canada!

I ain’t NEVER in my life bought anything I America that said it was made in Canada. I’ve never even seen anything that said it was maid in Canada. Soooooo ?

Trump (Comrade Krasnov) is not American and does not speak for America. He’s a traitor. And in the pocket of Putin.\n\nI stand with Canada.

As a Canadian myself,,, I am more than desepointed about all of this… Because to me, The United States Of America,,, they were the perfect example of what it was to be a true hero! But now,,, because of one person,,, it has turned to a True Dictatorship… And,,, as Canadians,,, we must be hopeful that America will be once again this Really great Country of Brotherhood and also, it will become once again this Land Of Peace And Prosperity that we desperately need right now! Because I am positive,,, still positive that we will be together once again; just like we have been for a very long long time!!! I am Very Hopeful!!! Yes, it will be very hard for both of us and that includes for Mexico as well, but,,, we will win together and,,, just like we did with Hitler, we will stop this Dictatorship from conquering this world. So, Thanks so Much CNN,,, Love You All So Very Much Guys!!! Hope that everything will go well for all of you out there because I love you So Very Much Everyone! So, Let’s all hope for the best for all of us: Canadians, Mexicans and Americans and,,, Hope that we can stop this war between all of us… XOOXXO!!!! From: @Philippe Bouchard!!!! (From: Clair New-Brunswick Canada)!!!!!! ?????????????????????❤❤❤❤❤

From Georgia, I stand with Canada 100%. trump is a traitor and a criminal. I do not accept him as president. I am ashamed of America and I apologize with all my heart for what trump is doing. I did not vote for him and never would! I love Canada and will always support you!

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

Justin Trudeau is the governor of America's 51st state Canada

Would the same happen to canada?? Or doesn't canada import anything from America???or does canada not export most to America???

Trump is a backstabbing traitor of the American people. Canada don’t put your anger on the people, I didn’t vote for Trump in either election. In fact he should have been impeached before he was able to run again and now here he is again running AMERICA into the GROUND

American here. I am on a limited income (Social Security) but I 100% support Canada & what Canada needs to do to counteract the actions of our incompetent, insane 'President'. Go Canada! We not-insane Americans salute you & apologize for our 'Orange Menace'. We look forward to when our governments can be friends again. Our two peoples will always be Friends! (I have family there also.) P.S. The drug issue is a fake issue on the part of the Trump Administration. We all know it's the market that drives illegal drugs-- i.e. our own drug abusers buying this stuff. Cheers, & With Hopes for a Better America. (And Slava Ukraine!)

Watch trump weaponize this to paint Canada as an enemy of America to justify future shenanigans and Senate Republicans will continue to just eat it right up smh

I believe that Trump & Putin have a plan to dominate the world with Putin taking Europe and Trump taking Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panana, aka the Americas. What part China & North Korea play in Asia, I don't know. But they look to be inching in this direction!

Less than one percent of fentanyl that enters the United States comes from Canada. Trump has absolutely no idea what’s he’s talking about he’s constantly spouts lies to trick Americans to further his own agenda, in fact he’s betraying America’s allies and getting closer with our enemies. He’s a terrible person and should be ousted from office ASAP

Stay strong Canada, I don’t want this government or these tariffs, I pray I’m with the majority, this is NOT my America.

I thought America and Canada are close friends and business allies.

Hey Canada ??, everybody in America isn't poor, we'll survive

-DEAR AMERICANS ..., this video is a prime example of why the USA needs to stop depending so much on other countries for so much importing and start investing in building and start manufacturing products again in the US like it used to be and keeping our farmlands IS VERY IMPORTANT also. Now you see the other side to alot of what's going on , it's important for America as a whole. If you don't understand why manufacturing/ farming/ and investing into some independence like other countries is important ....now you know!!! . Yes their are always gonna be trades and we need them also, But USA is like totally relying on other countries for everything!! We have nothing to offer of value anymore as a country or trade!! \n\n Hopefully the leaders in charge work with these trade countries and they come to fair agreements in fairness and the best intrest of Canada and USA .

So what is this really about? Makes sense that elon wants the metals and minerals for himself and not for competition in e-vehicles manufactured in the US. And of course the minerals deal with Ukraine is all for elon who will be able to build while his competitors pay huge tariffs for the same materials from Canada or tariffs on vehicles from their auto plants in Mexico. Wake up America. The two devils are stealing everything from ALL of us.

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

I think something just clicked.... we know that trump is egotistical and he wants the credit for things he didn't do, twist stories to his benefit. With that said. I think trump wants to create this WW3 to gain territory, so places like Greenland, Canada, gulf of Mexico and Gaza he has showed his interests there. So him partnering up with outings agenda. And with america in war, he would get to stay third term. While he fattens the pockets of his oligarchs. His billionaires and his Co-president.

Canada has a good header . America has yellow face bum…

Playing the victim eh? You acknowledged that America and Canada are biggest friends and allies but when you were asked to secure your side of the border you declined America’s request. You have problems in locking your gates but you don’t have problems in locking bank accounts of CANADIAN TRUCK DRIVERS.\nGuuuurrllll, you already quit as the PM STFU.

All these things America gets from Canada is because they need it. America must have a shortfall if it imports. Stupidity. Now higher prices through shortage. Idiot orange comrade Trumpski.

Hi Canada, can I come live with you guys? - just a nice gal from America who doesn't have a leader.

I stand with America and Trump، I believe it is the time to have a leadership to show up these countries such as Canada and Europe to depend on themselves without Americans

Canada, please turn the power off for 24/48 to wake up America that they have made the dumps decision with their choice of leader, it would be a reality check

Good, decent, intelligent Americans ABHOR OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT. This is a dictatorship. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and our EU allies 100%. These crazy people have taken over and they are DEMOLISHING America.

Stop the steal, think about what this means. It means stop stealing from wealthy americans to help poor americans, help americans have healthcare, help american farmers keep their farms. The oligarchs of USA do not want this, they don't want to pay taxes, they want to rule with impunity like Putin. America is being lost day by day, Welcome to West Russia. I have many friends in the USA, and this is a very sad situation and my heart aches for them. I know this is going to hurt in Canada, but screw you orange menace and president Musk, I will go down fighting for the freedoms we (our forefathers) earned, defeating the last facist pig that ruled a country

Oh well! Looks like Canada is soon to be america’s 51st state then Russia’s new Province!

I wish I could move to Canada I leave Trump in this rotten America alone.

I am embarrassed to be Canadian. Trump is doing everything and anything to make America and the American people better. He is not responsible for canada. All we do here is whine and get into a well if you do this we're gonna do that pissing contest. Instead of us here in Canada doing anything to make Canada stronger and us not reliant on handouts. We got that little brother syndrome where we wanna be like big brother but don't have any power

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

I pray Canada, Mexico, Europe, South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia can find ways to work together and strengthen each others economies and other developments.

I love Trudeau’s dad but Justin is short a few brain cells. You have run Canada into the ground. Time to trade with China and get us cheaper Chinese EVs, solar cells, drones, electronics, clothing…make our cost of living more affordable and sell our agri and resources to China. Win win but u chose to apply 100% tariffs on China EV and be americas lapdog. U deserve to be slapped.

? Learn your facts! Canada taxes us on tariffs! Now we are doing the same so I guess America is the bad guy ?‍♂️
