Trump is burning the house down to test if that would warm the house faster. The man is a total imbecile living on a golden toilet with a phone that puts him in a bubble surrounded by psychopaths, cultists and wanna-be oligarchs beholden to a KGB agent specialised since the '70ties to manipulate gullible foreign business men. \n\nThere exist no scenario in which this will end well before the 4 years run out, he will destroy the western world though either is own greed&ego fuelled stupidity, his blinded with white power hate cultists or the wanna be oligarchs. STOP THIS NOW AMERICANS WHILE YOU STILL CAN AND WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A COUNTRY AND NEIGHBOURS THAT RESPECT YOU.

We don’t want his ass either!!!

Pay your own way Canada. We're not worried about you, you should worry about yourselves and fire this guy. He's destroyed your country and is only doing more harm. We're done giving you $200billion a year while we're going bankrupt. Also you BETTER invest billions in stopping Fentanyl from getting into America from your country. We are done asking for these things and has a president that is following his citizens will. So remember when you talk bad about our president you are talking bad about most of us Americans. Americans love Canadians, but don't abuse us or push us. It WILL not work out good for your country. America FIRST,we will no longer stay on the bankruptcy path and we're ending Fentanyl coming into our country. One way or the other. Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem.

US citizen here! We don't want this either. Our elected official is a deranged maniac and most of our citizens are pissed off. We love our Canadian neighbors and don't want this ridiculous tariff war. As for US supporting Russia well that is not something anyone in their right minds would do. Only stupid, crazy MAGA fools. Please know, most of us are kind and want the best for all humans. I can only apologize for myself. DJT is on his own. NOT MY PRESIDENT!

You know I'm'm reading all these comments about how much people support Canada and admire their prime minister and it makes me wonder who in America voted to give Donald Trump a 2nd term? How is it that he won the popular vote and the electoral vote? Either something is seriously wrong with our election system or Americans are bipolar!

We (most of the American people) don't want this, either! I call and write to my two Senators and my Congresswoman at least four times a week. I support Canada's reaction to our ridiculous President's actions. I don't think all the Republican leadership supports this, but they are weak and scared of Trump.

This is on every one of you in the USA. If you voted for him, you are a godforsaken idiot; you are getting what you deserve. If you didn’t vote for him, you didn’t do enough to talk about the issues with friends, neighbours and coworkers to prevent this tragedy. If you didn’t vote, you should be in prison; it should be illegal to not vote in any democratic country. If you didn’t vote look yourself in the mirror, and say “I am an idiotic ass “. Thoughts and prayers are not going to cut it for either of our nations. Get off your ass and do something.

Americans dont want this either....we do not understand why NO one in office will help us. TRUMP IS A DICTATOR

I, an American dont want this either. Further , i did not vote for this tangerine turd. He is no good for America and the world as a whole.

Thank you emphasizing the role of municipalities in this. Unlike other jurisdictions, in Canada municipalities are responsible for all transport infrastructure and utility infrastructure with the exception of major provincial highways, airports, and electricity and gas distribution systems. Meanwhile, Canadian municipalities can only levy property taxes and no income or sales taxes. Thus, Canadian municipalities governments are very attached to property owners, leading to the political conditions that make housing harder to build and new housing more expensive. The vast majority of the policies restricting housing supply and increasing costs of new housing, like development charges on new homes to fund infrastructure instead of taxing existing property owners, onerous and restrictive zoning regulations, and slow and expensive permitting processes all come from the cities. Honestly, for many city politicians it is to their advantage to make the crisis worse. Why wouldn’t a city councillor vote to raise development charges on building new homes instead of raising property taxes on existing homes to pay for stuff like replacing life expired sewer and road and subway infrastructure!? His constituents aren’t going to care about the costs of new homes, which affect people moving to the city or younger generations, which are either not yet residents of the city or too young to vote.

Prime Minister, many, nay most of us, don't want this either. Thank you.

Make That Make Sense?? Boom\nHelp Us Canada ?? This is Not My President not Even Close to an Administration…We ❤️??!! Go Red Wings??I don’t want this either????????further I’m in Detroit there is NO fentanyl!! That’s old news…Kudos Trudeau?

We don’t want this bs either. I stand with Canada. Screw my government. Stop drugs at the border? Stop using drugs. Problem solved.

The majority of the American people are with you Canada, we didn't want this either. This doesn't have anything to do with drugs. The problem we have is President Shit-for-Brains doesn't understand that tariffs are a mistake because he's a moron who also appears to be a Russian asset, always doing Russia's will regardless of how it will effect the USA.\n\nTrudeau knows how to be a leader. I wish he were OUR president.

As an American, I don't want this either ?? I'm sorry

Let's be perfectly clear, here: The United States, leaving her markets WIDE OPEN -- as if a woman flinging her legs open and apologizing if she can't 'service' everyone in the crowd -- for EIGHTY YEARS and our workers, engineers, factory builders, etc., etc., all just watching our jobs float off to other shores...is OVER.\n> As is to be expected, Trudeau is keeping up appearances. \n> About THREE-FOURTHS of Canada's exports are converted to CASH inside the United States. \n> That means JOBS for Canadians, paychecks for Christmas time and tax revenues for Ottawa.\n> Yes, the US really does need Canada. We need Mexico. (We don't need Communists like China.)\n> But we have SACRIFICED our most vital naturally-occurring need: our personal and industrial productivity and creativity. \n> The United States, thanks to Her ideas on governance and empowerment of the People, invented and created the modern world that, now, almost 8 billion people expect (maybe closer to 6 billion of the 8+). \n> We have suffered unspeakably for the past -- at least -- 50 years as more and more of our ingenuity and creativity that once fueled our production has disappeared in the name of keeping the world free.\n> Enough. \n> The world WILL change. We can either accept China's version of Soviet Communism, relinquishing all global empowerment for whatever the CCP feels like, today.\n> Or we can bite the bullet and allow the People of the United States to restore what we sacrificed for the stability of a free world, starting about 80 years ago.\n> Either way, Canada will not go back to the way things were.\n> They can be better. But not like before. Period.

The Oligarchs are getting their dreams fulfilled. It's not a trade war its a decoy to what is coming. Population is blindsided. \n Won't be a Christmas either.. \nWait and see !\n Putin Elon & Trump are the world leaders like it or not.

? wait so wouldn’t that mean he is choosing to do it to his people too? Saying trade wars don’t work is like saying sanctions in Russia won’t work either. Hahahahaha. He is almost gone so he just doesn’t give a crap anymore

We don’t want this either ?

We don't want it either. Our government just doesn’t care what we want.

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

8:06 AST yes, Mr Trudeau, we don’t like this either. Thank you for speaking on behalf of the American people. You speak the truth. We are under seize by an authoritarian government. God bless you and Canada.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

We don’t want this either! It’s the idiot that was elected by the dumbasses that reside in the United States. I’m sorry.

We don't want to it's either and I sure didn't vote for anyone involved. 2:20

We love Trump. We voted him in. We don't owe anything to either Europe or Canada. The tax payers deserve better in the US. ?

He was half wrong with his statement about Trump. He isn't a smart man either. He's a spoiled child that was given his empire. He's never worked a day in his life.

Let's call it exactly what it is: the orange clown is doing this dumb thing to please his master Putin. Fentanyl is just an excuse, he has NO intention to cooperate with allies and he doesn't give a hoot about Americans either

We don’t want this either.

Americans do not want this either.

His words are falling on deaf ears because Trump is a demented, corrupt and despicable person and he doesn’t care about Americans or Canadians either.

It is sad that one man can drive such a deep wedge between two countries. Herr Trump has proven himself to be completely untrustworthy to all American allies, not just Canada. The pain he insists on inflicting on American allies will not soon be forgotten. Hopefully American voters who suffer from unnecessary high inflation and job loses will not forget either. Buckle up for a bumpy ride.

Can America just become your next province? (We didn’t ask for this either. Well the sane people anyway)

Trust me, we Americans don't want this either.

We dont want this either!!!!!! \nWe did not vote for this!!!!

We know you don't want this, we don't either. We know our leader is destroying our country, we just aren't sure how to stop him right now. He has placed his people strategically. Sorry Canda

I like that he said our government is doing this to us. We don't want this either. Ridiculous doesn't even express this nonsense properly.\n\nThank you Prime Minister.

America doesn't want this either. The MAGAts who support this are a slim minority.

Trudeau already said this nonsense last month. Virtually the same tariffs. Same points. \n\nCanada’s economy is down too and has been for a long time. \nTheir stock market is low. \nTheir RE is too high for its citizens. \n \nThey can’t win a tariff war due to attrition. And Canadians can ban together to not shop American as they been doing already. \nAnd none of you on this platform can do anything about that either. \nY’all can stand with Canada as much as you like. That doesn’t dismiss the fact that their tariffs on America was higher than America’s tariffs on Canada prior to this “tariff war”. \nAlso ya’ll can’t denounce citizenship and migrate over to Canada. Because they will not accelerate their process for citizenship. And will not accept the infinite number of you all.

This American stands with Canada and Europe. Many Americans don’t want this either, but you have to do what’s necessary to protect your country.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, the sane Americans still love you and your great country. This government is not who or what I voted for. I am so sorry, friends. I think MOST of us do not want this either. Our government is a failure and we need to change it. We, the people. The REAL people. Not the fake numbers you hear about from this corrupt administration that lies like it's their religion to do so. Keep doing the right thing for your people, and know you have our respect. Also, please have mercy when many of us seek to move to a more civilized nation.

We don't want it either!!!

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

Booo, not a fan of Trudeau. Most Canadians I know aren’t either.

I didn't vote for Trump - all three times. Unfortunately, more than half of my countryman were either too stupid and/or too racist. The first Trump administration was not good. I fear that this time, it will be worse. Keep up the good fight, Canada!

We don’t want Trump either!!!give him to Russia!!!????

PM Trudeau, 70% of Americans do NOT want this either. Unfortunately, that remaining 30% is well-armed, is gullible, is fanatic, and is organized.

As an American -- most of us don't want this either. *sigh*

We don’t want this either ?
