Not only is Canada united in solidarity against Trump and his trade war, I think that we are seeing right here that Americans, Europeans, and people from every continent, also have a sense of unity and solidarity with us and Mexico and against the bully and dictator who currently is squatting in the White House. \nOrganise. \nMobilise. \nResist.

Thank you Canada for standing up to bullies. ❤

It's unbelievable once upon a time. Muhammad Gaddafi used to be called mad Dog, but it seems to be a very old mad. Dog is causing poisonous ideas, bitting more than he can chew , and trump politics serve his big egos for the next 4 years, and he never stood up for peace ,he's a big bully, I hope the rest of the world can work together to show trump Canada, Europe and the rest of the world can thrive without America. Well said, priminister Trudo.

It's too bad that Trudeau's Government did so little about fentanyl, also about our poorly-controlled border and destructive immigration non-policies for so long. Hence, driving Trump's scorched-earth policy (The Tariffs). That said, it blows me away that Trump was so vociferous about the Lawfare that was lined up against him in 2023-24, but he doesn't see that excess use of the power of the State is wrong and immoral in this Canadian and Mexican case. Trump only knows the right of might. Threats, coercion, bullying. He doesn't otherwise distinguish between right and wrong; only about what is good for him and his ego. The Tariffs will drive very bad business outcomes in the US. Including, inflation, and lost jobs. The Stock Markets are already tanking. At this particular stage, his ego will not allow him to back off, that's my prediction. Much pain for all Americans (and obviously for Canadians) will first have to ensue. Canada must receive its spanking, and Donald will have to save face. Ultimately, he'll invent some dishonest pretense to put the genie in the bottle, while the economic damage to all sides will be severe. But ... Why would he care?

Go Canada! I hope other countries would follow your example on how to deal with the orange bully. Fentanyl is only an excuse. It's a part of his master Putin's instruction to destroy the west.

He had to response to Donald Duck, sorry Donald Dump, men sorry again, Donald Dumb, what is happening with me, Donald Bump, why is this happening.... a yeah, Donald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head to be dumped. \n \nIt does not matter if some like Trudeau or not, as a country leader THIS was the only response to a bully neighbor, who wants to start a trade war. \nAnd as Trudeau said, there is no winner, we are polite, but we are Canadians and will not back down from a fight. \n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau. \nDonald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head will be dumped. \n\n <3 Canada., greetings from the Greek guy.

Until we fix the bully, do what you have to do to protect yourself. Smart folks know fentanyl traffic is less than .08% coming from your borders. HE is scared to bully the real threats and agitators like Russia, North Korea and somewhat China so he is picking on Canada to ‘appear’ tough to his ignorant base that is working so much due to low wages, that there have no time to read or watch anything other than his propaganda.

Trudeau has his problems in Canada but all Canadians stand behind him in this moment, Canada will always stand up to bullies and tyrants like Trump and Putin. We stand for freedom and democracy.

Why is it that the republicans always got a threaten our neighbors, Canada and Mexico was high terms, threatening the people all the time and bullying them is not gonna work, usually bullies get put in prison or go to jail or worse, and they know that why are they being bullies just because they're rich and they. Don't want their pockets empty. And they want to take it out on our neighbors.Well, it's the taxpayers that keep them there.Remember that when your election comes republicans, you guys can be oust out of business.You will not be voted for anymore.Remember that and that's my opinion why you bullying our neighbors

As an American, I FULLY support Canada's response to these idiotic and extremely damaging tariffs levied by the US. Someone MUST stand up to his tyranny, and not bow down this bully.

Proud of you Canada standing up morally and to a bully boy in trump. Well done

Go Canada it's about time someone stood up to this bully he is an idiot and should be in a care home he is an old orange lump that is suffering from dementia

As an American, I must say we have boot-licking morons running our Government. I can't believe EVERY Republican agrees with anything that Trump says. It's like we're living in a Twilight Zone episode. I feel so bad for Pr. Zelenskyy and Ukrainians. I'm embarrassed to be American and I can't believe so many Americans were voting for this clown. That probably bothers me more than anything. Apologies to the world and our friends in Canada. JT is being too kind. Shut down your borders to the USA. Ontario....cut your electrical and energy power to the USA. Cut off all trade. I hope China does the same. Make the USA swirl down the drain in pain. I don't want to wait for 2 years to try and vote in more Democrats to put a stop Trump .Bully him back. Bullies always back down when strongly confronted.

Mexico and Canada are working hard to please the orange man and still he keeps bullying.

Well done Canada, the UK is so proud of you fighting off the Bully that is president Trump, who is turning his back your back against the world, whilst supporting the war criminal Putin. Listen to the world America Trump is the person causing all these problems for you. Do something about him, Vance and Musk.

Europe stands with Canada. This is how you stand up to bullies!

American here, ❤ Canada!! Stand strong against Trump and his bully tactics. I am so sorry.

They finally stood up to that famous bully Canada xD

First Ukraine, now Canada. As an American, I’m embarrassed. We’re bullying our allies while chumming up with the KGB ??‍♂️

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.

I'm from Canada, Trump wants to destroy us, he is a bully, Trump deserves everything he gets and I hope it hurts him good.I am very touched to see the support of the world for Canada thank you's

You (Canada) cannot bully our President Trump. You will not win. The United States doesn't need you.

Those US citizens who did not vote for tRump and we support Canada. My husband is a retired Airborne Ranger who worked cooperatively with military personnel from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, and other democratic countries around the world. We are just sick about how tRump has treated our allies. He is a bully and a draft dodging coward. We don’t blame any of our NATO allies who apply pressure through tariffs, etc to give tRump the consequences he deserves for his bad behavior. He is hurting the US country and its citizens, being cruel to their people lower income US citizens. Middle and lower class US citizens are going to be suffering under his US as he is trying to get rid of every program that helps us live with dignity. He is hurting our farmers. We know that he is a narcissistic psychopath. Most of us can’t wait until he and JD Vance are out of office, and hopefully in prison. They don’t care how many US citizens they hurt with their greedy megalomaniac agenda. We are sorry that our administration is being so unreasonable and hope you can forgive the rest of the US citizens that never wanted this situation with you and our other NATO allies.

Canada Strong\nWe will not back down \nThank you prime minister and you will be missed \nStand up to that Bully

Stand against bullies Canada. As a British citizen I support you.

?I'm an American but I stand with Canada ??. Don't allow your country to be bullied. Cut the electricity ,show Trump that you won't be bullied by a narcissistic wanna be dictator!!

Being a veteran means ? in america just like the flag and anthem don't mean ?....I know and seen veterans with Nazi SS and confederate flags ....I wouldn't help or give them aide...or piss on them if on fire... Canada should play the bullies own game...his mind set is to hold his bowls just because he thinks he don't need toilet tissue.....just give it time....his mind is going to loose when his bowls pressure builds...... believe me ? going to happen whether he likes it or not.....with or without tissue...✌️? Go Canada

CANADA ?? CUT OFF AMERICA POWER TO PROVE YOU NOT ABOUT TO GET BULLIED

As an italian i'm proud of you Canada. Don't let the crazy bullies win.\nThe USA is working hard on all fronts to end its hegemony. If this won't backfire for them, I don't know what will.

The idiot dRump is too stupid to understand any of this. He's a schoolyard bully who expects others to back down. Good for Canada and other other countries that stand up to him. He's a danger to the US. When the heck are congress and the courts going to stop him? They are responsible for creating this dictator!

Well done Canada. Trump thinks because he is a bully that everyone will fall down and accept whatever he tells them.\nBullies are a thing of the past. The USA is absolutely FU*KED.\nWell done all who voted for this idiot and dictator Trump. Fools.

The Canada PM is truely a statesman all allied leaders are statesmen not the orange head bully

GOOD JOB CANADA!!! ❤❤❤Do NOT let our POTATO bully you. As an ACTUAL American,and a Minnesotan, I have to apologize. This thing is not how many of us think or feel. I am so sorry for the evilness of this puke.

I just don't stand with Canada. I stand with any country he's bullying. Yes, it's true that countries should pay their fair share of things, but this knucklehead is going over the top... letting an immigrant Elaine musk (who voted for him)take American jobs from the people who voted trump in (how you like him now) and align our country with one of satan's best men vladimir POOTIN ... I'd like to be at the gates of heaven when trump and pootin arrive & get turned away

I like how Trudeau left out all the money we just hand over to Canada. America won’t be bullied anymore with Trump. \nFor all you Democrats, if you guys wouldn’t have paved the way with your “Woke” mandates on everything without civil discourse, Trump wouldn’t have been elected. Democrats showed him how to govern this way and he is not holding back at all. Trump is the fallout from the Democrats and we all will pay for it.

The man (Trump) attacks our allies and long time friends and cozies up to our long time adversaries who have no history of warmth with the US. Of all the people of the world to attack, Canada and the UK, our strongest allies EVER. Then launches verbal assaults on the victim of an invasion and war atrocities. Trump is just about stealing candy from a baby and giving it to a bully with a smile on his face! But then has far right media sugar coat it so that MAGA will believe he's doing something good and right.

Great Canada stand up to the orange head bully jackass

Two can play that game. Thank you Canada for fighting back and saying no to bullying.

Go Canada! from an American. Don't bow down to the bully narcissist. Nothing Trump does makes sense. Worst president ever.

As a German i support you, Canada and Canadian people! I hope Europe and Canada can help each other in these difficult times. Together we are stronger than some bullies!

Trump is a Toxic Tangerine Turd. He deserves to be flushed down the pan and forgotten about. He is the most vile malignant narcissist who has ever had the misfortune to be born. Good for Canada. Stand up to a bully. I'm a Brit. We have a PM that bends over at every opportunity to appease Trump.

I stand with Canada my beloved 2nd country.. Canada stand firm and strong against this bully. We're ŵith u. ❤❤❤

As a disenfranchised American citizen, I stand with Canada, Ukraine, and any other nation willing to stand up to this bullying coward. I absolutely DO NOT blame Canada, Mexico or anyone else trying to protect their populations. Imagine having a government that would do that. trump must go. he is a threat to the entire world.

Im from South Africa ?? and i support Canada ?? Donald Trump is Right Wing Extremist Bully

This is lose-lose for everyone. Canada is the USA's closest neighbor and Ali. This is not about Fentanyl. This is about bullying.

Most of the time o support my president what he does may not like but I support his decision however we never had a child be president before most president understand what they do harm us so try not to harm us too badly however we have one know Canada has no way done anything anything to do to deserve this so I support Canada ?? I will alaway defend those who are innocent those who are being bullied by a bullies and I will always fight against a coward to thinks having more pals to bully with aren’t your friends just afraid they will be the next bullies that’s elementary play ground crap every school has that going on from K THUR 5

I stand with Canada!! I know it will hurt us here in the States but Trump is in Russias pocket and Simone needs to stand up to the bully Trump! Thank you Canada! Stand strong!

As someone who was born in the U.S. I can’t stand what this country has turned into. It’s despicable and disgusting. I will not stand for the national anthem and I encourage any other American to do so. I hope Canada takes trump down. Thank you Canada for being a great country and for standing up to bullies. Go Canada ??

This is amazing. This prime minster talks as if Canada did nothing wrong and US decided to bully them for no reason. If everything's fine and dandy, we wouldn't have done this. Trump did what he did because of \n\n1. Drug trafficking from north + illegal emigrants\n2. Unfair trade deficit in times when our national debt is unsustainably high. \n\nWhy so high? Because we've been giving Canada SURPLUS for decades. Can't do that no more because we have to save our country now. Don't mischaracterize this move, fools.

What the f**k, comment by the female broadcaster saying she has never seen this level of anti-Americanism. This is not anti-Americanism. This is Canada sticking up for itself in light of irrational bullying decisions made by Trump and his oligarchs.
