Canada is absolutely right and I’m embarrassed to be a part of USA

America gives Canada $300 billion a year. I think this guy can just keep quiet

Canada ain't doing shit

I’m an American and I did not vote for Donald Trump. I am all for Canada and Ukraine. \nTrump has to be removed from the White House immediately. He is Adolf Hitler wanna be.

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

Canada needs to strengthen there army because west Russia may invade to make them the 51st state ,

Is there a way for Canada to join Europe as an honorary ally member for trade.

We don’t want this either, PM Trudeau. And this isn’t our government. It hasn’t been our government for a few decades now. Please do everything you need to in order to fight back. We will be ok. We will fight back against this criminal administration in every way that we can. God Bless Canada and its wonderful people.

No not all Americans. I didn't vote for that. I like Canadians and Canada. Turn the lights off on the Mega supporters.

Can Canada buy Bulgaria…Please!

So sorry, Canada, dear neighbor!\nAs a U.S. citizen, I am saddened and ashamed of the cruelty, unfairness, and untruthfulness of our present administration.

Can we swap out the orange moron for Trudeau? Sounds like Canada will be done with him soon anyway.

Question: if we’re (USA) is North America, Mexico is in Central America, and Brazil is in South America, is Canada North, North America? Just asking.

Compare Trump and Mr Trudeau purely on their demeanour and the words that they speak. Mr Trudeau has demonstrated here that he is a skilled statesman, he can speak coherently and powerfully. He's not spouting ridiculous insults in the face of Trump's tariffs. He may have fallen out of favour in Canada, but as a British citizen looking in, he stands head and shoulders above Trump and Vance. Thank you for your service Mr Trudeau.

the current trade deal with Canada and Mexico is something trump bragged about when he negotiated & signed it 6 years ago. Trump called it the USCMA. Less than 1% of fentanyl comes across the northern US border. we can't refine light crude oil we pull out of the ground here so we buy more than 50% of our heavy crude oil and natural gas from Canada. Canada will turn off the pipes and sell the heavy oil and NG to Europe. The second oil supply was Mexico who plans to sell their oil in Europe too. It will be extra cold in the midwest and east coast this winter without fuel oil.

Stupid ass Trump is making enemies right and left to please Putin. He is a sell out to Russia. He is not making America great. The dumb ass is making America worse. \nI am proud of Canada and their leadership. Nothing like the mess we have now here in the US.

I am surprise Canada is reacting so badly against the US. Canada should focus on countering China and not the United States

I am a US citizen and I'm proud of you Canada ??. I didn't vote for the idiot in the WH and neither did none of my friends and family. This move by the current POTUS is more like orders he got from somewhere else ??. He's to stupid to think of anything himself and he doesn't read anything unless someone tells him.

I am an American, trapped with this Government, who I did not vote for. I do not blame Canada for your decisions. King Trump is evil, convoluted, self-centered, racist, and convicted felon. I am embarrassed for our GOP decisions. I am fearful. I am sorry.

Your a DB trudue. Nobody in Canada wants you and the USA laughs at you.

Good man straight talker good on you Canada

This is not about drugs it's about taking over Canada. I'm Australian, and I stand with Canada and the Ukraine ❤

Canada thank you for taking these actions. Despite our (disgusting) administration most Americans are with you. Keep up the good work.

Good thing we have the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)!! Lets use it in full force and send the US packing!

As an Aussie I stand with Canada and Mexico

keep american guns and gangsters Out of Canada. \nTHEY need to fix THAT. \ncanada does not need a ridiculous, gold braid infested czar, we're Canadian, not russian!

hell yeah based canada

I'm an American and I stand with Canada and the Ukraine

Canada and Mexico and come and join Europe

We’re with you Canada. Apologies for this orange false prophet.

People in Canada ?? don't even like their leader . Things gotta get worse b4 they get better .\nTrump ❤ keep sending the message US has been getting taxed by other countries fpr far too long .\nAct like this man doesn't have a plan?????

I'm with you, Canada ??

I'm a Scottish person who has just had maple syrup and bacon on my pancakes. Won't be buying any American pancake toppings that's for sure. Go Canada. Really hoping when Scotland qualify for the Mexico/USA/Canada world cup in 2026 that we don't end up in the USA. Don't trust them anymore!

I wish Canada would make us a new province

Stand with canada

As an American I'm 60 yrs old. And I totally agree With Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau 1000%. I never wanted Trump. And let's make this clear by all means. To those that voted for his dumb ass I hope u you got what you wanted. HE DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP BOUT AMERICA ONLY PUTIN WHO WITH TRUMP BEING THE ULTIMATE ASS KISSER TO HIM TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. GOD HELP US ALL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY. TRUMP IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

Canada has a population of 40 million while the U.S. has 330 million. Take a wild guess why Canada has a trade surplus with the United States.

Canada needs to build its military - NOW

Trump has disappointed many many Americans with this decision and his opposition to Ukraine—he will regret this, Canada our closest friends and supporting 3 years of Putin sickening terrorist attacks of Ukrainian civilians! I voted for Trump, but he is only ONE branch of our government, a Democracy, not Authoritarian! Our legislators should override Trumps decision, it takes 2/3 approval by our House and Senate and it does not matter what Trump does, he cannot Veto! Trump has some twisted affinity for Putin and Dictators. When Trump does not get his way, he tantrums and acts out…a very cardinal trait of Trumps personality. There is no logic—he goes on and on about all the lives and dying, then he supports Putin who has 1200 to 1500 Russian youth getting killed daily. \nSLAVA UKRAINI ????

Watch how Canada crumble and for the people that’s from the United States. That’s not happy to be in the United States. You guys can leave.

From the Netherlands I stand with Canada and Ukraine. And not the lying authoritarian Trump regime!\n\nI remember Trump saying America is no longer the laughing stock of the world... True now we can really only shake our heads at this point. It's gone beyond laughing stock. It's just sad now.

Scotland , as ever stands with you Canada . Trump again not welcome back here.\n\nHoping the British gov follows the Scotgov position and don't bow to this dictator

I am American and I am SO happy Canada will not bow down to our weak, gutless, capitulating dwarf of a man, Trump. Good for Canada!!

Well, Trump threatened Canada, what a piece of shit president, I must say... At this point, Canada should join EU, and sell all their gas and oil to Europe, at a fair price, not ultra cheap how they are currently selling to the USA. Usa is making a tons of money profit from exploiting Canada...

Just curious, currently (before Trump's Tariffs) how much TARIFFS does Canada pay for American goods and how much TARRIFS does America pay for Canadian goods? If Trump is increasing TARIFFS more than Canada, then that's sad.

Germany here: let's work together against this clown. The world needs more canada.

As an American, I can appreciate Canada's response to the felon president. We want Trump, Miller, MAGA politicians and Elon out. They are bullies and Putin's puppets.

I guess it is a hard “No” to Canada becoming the newest US state,then?

Canada is subsidized by the USA???? man yall stand with enemy while for yearsssssssssssssssss the USA been taking care of every continent one way or another

I commend Canada...I want to move there if I could.
