Mr. Trump we thank you for dealing with our budget and splitting ties with freeloaders. Canada cant defend themselves and we dont need their bacon or anything they have at all. We have enough coal to fuel the US for over 300 years. We been subsidizing them every way and that is how they can give free healthcare and education while Americans dont have that option. Trudeau is a weak leader that wants to talk tough like Zelensky. And Americans or veterans that dont support your president is not a patriot to your country but a freeloader too. Taxpayers gave Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars under senile Biden the worst president in US history and Zelensky want us to give him more for his war to nowhere. And then Ukraine want to not repay us unlike how they got loans from the European Union. Let Russia take Ukraine because that war is not our problem, we did enough. Lets put America first and that why the country voted for Trump. And Trunp is keeping his promise. God Bless America and Trump!

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.\n\n1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.\n\n2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.\n\n3. TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE IMMIGRATION INVASION\n\n? FACT: Canada and Mexico have been working alongside the deep state to flood America with illegal immigrants.\n? FACT: The goal was to change U.S. demographics, destroy the economy, and create a permanent voting base for globalist-controlled politicians.\n? FACT: This was NEVER about helping migrants—this was about replacing the American people with a population that could be controlled.\n\n? Why do you think Biden opened the borders?\n? Why do you think millions of illegal immigrants are being shipped across the U.S. at taxpayer expense?\n? Why do you think every major city is being overrun with migrants while American citizens are struggling?\n\nThis is planned destruction—and Trump is stopping it.\n\n? Trump and JD Vance will shut down illegal immigration completely.\n? Trump will reimplement strict border security, build more of the wall, and stop the deep state from using mass migration as a weapon.\n? The globalists are afraid because if Trump stops their immigration plan, they lose their ability to control future elections and destroy American sovereignty.\n\n4. THE MEDIA IS LYING TO YOU—AGAIN\n\n? The same mainstream media that lied about Russian collusion is now pushing the lie that Trump is starting a war with Canada and Mexico.\n? The same mainstream media that censored the truth about Biden’s corruption is now protecting Trudeau and the deep state’s plan.\n? The same mainstream media that attacked Trump for four years straight is now attacking him again because they know he is winning.\n\nTHIS IS A DISTRACTION.\n\nThey want you to focus on fake outrage about tariffs while ignoring the real crisis:\n\n? AMERICA IS BEING INVADED FROM WITHIN.\n? THE DEEP STATE WANTS TO COLLAPSE THE U.S. THROUGH MASS MIGRATION.\n? THE GLOBALISTS NEED TRUMP GONE BECAUSE HE IS STOPPING THEIR PLAN.\n\n5. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE AWAKE—WE WILL NOT FALL FOR THIS\n\nTo CNN and the mainstream media: We know you are lying. You have lost control of the narrative, and the American people see through your propaganda.\n\nTo Justin Trudeau: You are a puppet, and your attempts to manipulate Americans will fail.\n\nTo President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance: The American people stand with you. We know you are fighting for our country, and we will not be fooled by the lies of the globalist elite.\n\nTo Elon Musk: Keep exposing the truth. The deep state is afraid because they can no longer censor real information.\n\nTo every American reading this: Share this message before they try to silence it.\n\nTHIS IS NOT ABOUT TRADE. THIS IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.\nTHE DEEP STATE IS PANICKING—AND THAT MEANS WE ARE WINNING.\n\n? AMERICA FIRST. 1776 WILL NOT BE ERASED. ?\n\nThis response is clear, powerful, and directly dismantles the mainstream media’s lies. I encourage you to copy and paste this as one unified message for YouTube, social media, or emails.

Screw you Canada, we don't need your maple syrup. I will put honey on my pancakes in the morning. AMERICAN Honey.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

Americans are being nice by doing business with Canada. We can buy our syrup somewhere else ? good luck Canada ?? ? We don't need you, you need us ❤ ?

The news peole need to get their heads out if their a---s. fentenyl was just an excuse to for the pumpkin to put tarriffs on Canada andMexico to hide the fact he and his rich friends are robbing the country blind. No body wins in a trade war.trump has been inflating the amount of the deficit andnot taking onto account the services Canada also buys from the USA and the fact that we despite having a much smaller population is their best customer. Behind all this.the USA might check out what Trump and Putin have up their sleeves for Americans in the coming days

This isn't about fentanyl. This is a precursor to a land grab. The Trump regime will try to force Canada to it's knees and to the negotiating table, taking land they need for oil and mining. If Canada won't sign it away, Trump will take it by force. Unless the American public stands in his way.

As an American, the saddest thing is I now have to root against America. A slim majority of those who voted put this wannabe dictator and putin puppet in office and I want to see other countries point that out and slap back. The world needs to recognize the psychosis of donald trump. There isn't any equal relationship or deal with him. He must feel like he's humped you into submission. But like all weak men and bullies, he's ultimately a coward in the face or real challenge. Thank you Canada and accept the sincere apologies of the voters that foresaw and rejected this disastrous government.

Canada has the winning hand. Canada has resources that USA needs to survive. USA has nothing to offer to Canada to survive. If Canada should cut energy to USA, let’s see who is the boss. For say, Canada is the biggest producer for potash, a fertilizer needed for the American fields. Canada will suffer from these tariffs but USA will cash down harder. Hell will come down on USA unfortunately hurting our American friends and relatives south of Canadian border.

SHUT THE EFF UP TRUDEAU! You've destroyed Canada enough- you'll do nothing to stop MAGA- Canada will crumble due to your ego! I need to become American somehow. I hate it here.

It’s so cute how this little man thinks Canada is a force to be reckoned with! And liberals continue to show how TDS has rendered them thoughtless. The power IMBALANCE between Canada and America is HUGE! America doesn’t need Canada, but Canada needs america! And let’s not forget that the only reason Canada exports AMERICAN cars into America is because of Bill Clinton and his awful and destructive NAFTA trade deal, which also sent American car manufacturers to Mexico. Have you seen Detroit? It’s a ghost town BECAUSE of liberal democrat policies!

I’m an American (I’m embarrassed to say) but I am proud to say I completely oppose Trump & Musk’s plan to turn us into or over to Russia. They are in alliance with the corrupt project 2025 and Putin. They are traitors to America. Sadly the world must not trust them. They LIE. They are actively destroying the USA. Trump and Musk need to rule Mars. DEPORT BOTH OF THEM TO SPACE. I support Canada, Gaza, Greenland and Mexico. I WOULD DEPORT TRUMP AND MUSK IF I COULD. They are CRIMINALS and have no legitimacy in my America. Dirty Traitors.

Canada spends only 27 billion dollars per year on their military budget because America spends 900 billion dollars on their military budget.. Canada saves so much money because America defends Canada with the American military.. Canada should compensate America for keeping them safe.. or increase their military budget so they do not need help from the US..

Trudeau is wasting his time. There are millions of Americans who support Canada and Trudeau does not need to explain anything to them. The rest of the Americans are the idiots who support Trump and they will never change their minds no matter how much they get hurt by tariffs.

I stand with Canada! I am American and DT is NOT MY PRESIDENT!!! Did not vote for him. He's a psychotic felon who needs to be impeached!!!!!

Canada, there are many highly skilled hardworking American professionals currently facing layoffs. We can contribute to your country's needs and support your government and companies where there are shortages. This is an opportunity to strengthen your workforce—take advantage of it, while America is self destructing.

We stand with ??. I’m an American and wants Canada to stand on business do not back down from trump. Showing love from North Carolina. It will hurt the American people but a lesson needs to be learned. We smart Americans with logic sense stand 10 toes down with Canada. Handle your business sir… we are with you. We have had enough with this fool and he needs to be gone by all means necessary. Time to take the gloves off AMERICANS and get this idiot out of office. ???

American here, Canada we love you. We stand with you. We’re sorry. Most of us don’t want this either. Do what you need to do. My only hope is that you can forgive us one day. ??

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their Republican allies should pay for this. Donald Trump can’t do this to Canada nor Mexico. I don’t want to pay higher prices. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office immediately. We Americans need to do more protests against Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk.

I know americans that dont support trump will have to pay for this but its time to BOYCOTT america everyone... unfortunately this is the point that needs to be proven. the world doesnt need another dictator. I fully Support Canada!

American here.. please dear God.. Canada!! Do what you have to! We support you!! Stand by you. Please don’t forget, this is definitely not our greater America, and are ready and willing to do what we need to. We’ll suffer with you to get to a better America.

Lets hope our nation serves as an example to other nations to be faithful in protecting your democracies or you will fall just as it seems we will here in American. Canada and Mexico need to protect their borders with vigilence not just for us but from us as well. Trump may well want to invade and controls all areas of our government and is gathering up vast amounts of money that he could use to do just that. As diabical as he is dont forget the kind of people he surrounds himself with and also the fear he can instill in those people when needed to do what they may disagree with.

Canada you don’t need USA \nYou were in eu, we are happy to trade more with Canada \nWe in Sweden, we have stop buying American groceries and we buy Canada groceries \nI hope all in Europe do the same \n?? ??

Trump is a national disgrace. He needs to go... And as a once proud American, I also support our friends in Canada.?

We dont trust you shitbag, Canada already ousted you! The only thing this will do to anerica is make a bunch more american made millionaires. We will replace your Canadian bullshit with American made real shit. By Canada, u need us, we dont need you!

Oh Canada... Us like minded need to align tighter now that Trump is misleading USA with lies and putin's advises. Let's hope Americans wake up and understands that the orange man is dangerous to them. Please don't let his Crypto scam happen. Thank you Trudeau for being a voice of a reason.

I'm American, and I support Canada AND Ukraine!! \nSomeone needs to stop this!!!

I love Canada and I love all of the Canadian people as an American I feel really bad for you guys because you’re going through what we went through in the Biden administration. It’s gonna get worse until it gets better but it’s up to all of you Canadians to vote the right way next time you need a real man who has power And can deal with your country and puts it first and the citizens first this guy showed up in a Barbie premiere movie wearing the pink outfit that says enough. Trump knows that he needs to go it almost seems like he’s gonna get rid of all the weak leaders so we can have a power for world and bring world Peace. Pray for you guys it will get better but you need to vote him out?

Canada ?? ?? American minority ? Patriots who VOTED for Democracy and Kamala Harris ?? say ??Trumps?? 79million voter's don't speak for the other 200 million of us.\nWe and the world ? don't need him.? He's a fraudulent business practice con-artist.

Much respect to you, Canada. Calling it out evenly and openly, and telling the truths that many Americans apparently need to hear. Much love from Oregon.

We are with you sir! 99% of Americans support Canada!!! Trump is a racist ignorant POS!!!!! The only way to stop rhis is to remove trump and vance using whatever methods are needed!!!

Please Canada ….. know that most of us do not agree with dictator Trump. As a veteran and American I am truly ashamed of our Putin loving president. Just know the majority of Americans see you as our friend, don’t believe most American’s support this….. I support Canada and what ever they feel they need to do to fight MAGA and our insane president.

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

How is this gonna hurt Americans is he stupid really, he more scared hurting then we are and also maybe they need to fix the bs of if you have a dui in usa and did your time , they can recharge yoi with it there and thats stupid , Canada get your crap right

you will collapse before we do you cant afford this we cant either nut we can hold out longer than you can so now this is you dont want to see what we do next LOL MOST of you want to be americans anyways LOL thats says alot about your country.not trying to start shit either i love canada but the truth is the truth we dont need you guys but you need us i love how you guys try to tell us where we will see the effect we havent seen nothing and wont we know how to sustain for ourselves

I am American, and I can say God bless Canada. We need help from other countries fighting Trump and this administration because our corrupt court system and Republicans are out of control.

My only criticism is that Trudeau should have said the tariffs imposed by Trump, rather than the US. Not all Americans support Trump and maybe they’ll need Canada’s help to throw out the garbage one day soon.

As an American I ? percent stand behind what Canada is doing tRump and his traitorous cabinet need to be removed from office immediately. They are not acting in the best interests of Americans or our allies.

Let all nice Americans come to Canada ??. You need to leave Trump as he is a wannabe dictator.

I stand With Canada ??, EU ,UK , UKRAINE ???..this mad man Should be removed NOW 25Th Amendment Now he must Be stopped at All Cost hes tanking our economy and taking jobs from Americans but Gave all Of us ?..Not smart ?.. Respectfully...Start a garden and protest every chance you can..Call write ...senetors...They need your votes ..?????✊??????

What an idiot. He is making everything worse for Canada. And the nerve to bring up Putin and insinuating Trump is on his side. Then to put down the American people to say Your government is doing this. \nIf he were smart, he wouldnt have made a news conference till his temper calmed down. Then just plainly say we are making the same tarrifs to the US...which essentially is a wash. We dont need Canadas imports. The only reason we go to Canada for supplies is because of regulations, EPA , green deal and special interest groups. \nNow that is over we dont need them.\nCanada has refused secure their border for years.

Some american people stand with you. The rest of those people are MAGA. Now we ALL pay. Canada please remember we are NOT all MAGA and support you. As far as I am concerned you need not explain it again. Those that listen have heard you. WE heard Kamala and Tim. The rest have their heads so far up their arse they can't hear!

@marys.5050\n0 seconds ago\nMany Americans are horrified. We support you Canada in doing what you need to do. Unfortunately, the people who supported this administration, when the writing was on the wall, are going to need to feel the pain.

Dear Canada, do what you need to do, Trump is under Kompromat by Russia, and this thing will not stop unless the American people stand against this madness.

Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155 billion worth of American goods, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a press conference Tuesday. \n \nSpeaking from Ottawa, Trudeau said there was “absolutely no justification or need whatsoever” for the tariffs imposed by the US on Canada, which went into effect today. \n \nThe prime minister explained that $30 billion worth of US goods would see tariffs immediately, while the remaining $125 billion worth of goods would see tariffs in 21 days. \n \nTrudeau added that Canada will file claims at the World Trade Organization, but in the meantime, “our tariffs will remain in place until the US tariffs are withdrawn and not a moment sooner.” \n \nThe prime minister also again hit back against US assertions about Canada being unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl. \n \nHe said the legal pretext Trump presented for the justification of the tariffs —“that Canada is apparently unwilling to help in the fight against illegal fentanyl” — is “totally false.”

Indians have used Canada like a flop house. Indians go to diploma mills and try to use it as a backdoor to stay in Canada. They take over Canadian communities and try to turn them into India - making the locals feel like foreigners in their own home. They're also involved in a lot of crime. This includes: auto theft rings, synthetic ID/credit fraud, gun and drug smuggling, and one of the largest gold heists in Canadian history at Toronto Pearson airport. Americans have stated that the top nationality entering the US illegally from Canada is Indian. The drugs they are complaining about entering the US from Canada are almost entirely brought in by Indian truck drivers (Google it and find many examples). A Fentanyl super lab in BC capable of producing over 95 million lethal doses that was busted was run by an Indian. This is now threatening trade with our main trade partner as a trade war has just started. ENOUGH ALREADY! Indians need to be sent home, and banned from entering Canada.

Canada has many problems and disadvantages which will need to be determinedly addressed in the coming years. However, we have one key advantage over our friends to the south, and one I hope that over time this will increasingly bear fruit: we are not governed by a fascist-adjacent government. Our only political party with policies resembling the American Republicans is polling in the low single digits.\n\nSetting aside the question of whether American Republicans are 'fascist-adjacent', the truth is that much of the world perceives it as such. Our economy is so tied to the US that I would not wish them ill, or at least not very much. However, I think in the competition for talent American politics will be like a 'mark of Cane' on that country for a generation. My guess is that our - in comparison - boring politics will be a key advantage in the years to come.

This is why we need to place Tariffs on Canada: unaffordable gas, groceries and housing for Americans will stop crime and immigration for sure ?

Trudeau said to immigrants come to Canada, we have loads of room here, he forgot to say Canada is in recession, they have a massive housing shortage and inflation is rampant plus it's minus 40 so you will freeze to death in the soup queues, that's what happens when people as dumb as Trudeau get elected and virtue signal to make themselves look good and feel good about themselves, speaking while the brain is not connected to the mouth, Trudeau is the worst PM Canada has ever had, period, Biden the worst USA ever had, UKs the worst, the western world needs a complete C changes, a full 360 in its political thinking and reaction or it's going to be overtaken by the third world, you can see this happening in many American cities,

so to put this in perspective Canada arrests whoever has crossed or plans on crossing while America only arrests people who cross from Canada but not from the USA? am i missing something here? we didn't need Trump to baby anybody about doing our job he can do his. you need more border security in the north, and to say we don't would be a lie, but to say we need it from Americans is an absolute lie since clearly you can't do your job either at your southern border... the argument remains a stalemate. 2:05 to 2:51 , that's what we stand on. we aren't the problem here if you have voyager busses going back and forth. nobody forced anybody we have been waiting for a bold move like this to point out the obvious. we had trucker drama in 2020 and are on a mass recruit since, imagine that in your beloved new york it would be chaotic i'm sure, inflation has been going on since...possibly because of Tariffs beforehand but no one talks about that right? get the IRS involved.
