Am much as it will hurt us Americans. I want Canada's to know I am fully with you guys. I got my generator ready as I know what's coming next. May we all weather this horrible storm and come out stronger. Hopefully, the Americans who believe in a con man and his cronies finally wake up and rid us of them all. If they do, I'm certain America will not fall for this kind of man for at least another 50 years. Sometimes, people don't realize what they have until it's gone.

Everything this guy has said is false and he cannot back up his statements,, we have yet to hear from the Fentanyl Czar,,,, no one has increased the checking of our ports and their cargo,, lie,, lie lie,,, the money set aside for the fight in drug war is not set to come for fruition for 2 years,, America, trudeau is the most hated pm in Canada,, but you wouldn’t know that because the media in Canada is paid and sponsored by the liebrel government. Do not listen to this corrupt lier but pray for us Canadians??

Trump can't prove that these drugs are coming through Canada unseen. This is only designed to destabilize The United States so that we are forced into dealing with Putin and Russia. Don't forget, Trump said he wants to extend his Presidency past this term and the next. His goal is to become like Putin. To become a dictator. Don't lose sight of what is to come. Do not just focus on what is happening today.

As a US Citizen, we deserve all of the worst that's coming. Not all of us voted for the Orange Turd, but unfortunately this is the situation we're in. I'm rooting for you Canada.

Canada, hitting the USA with Tariffs won’t stop businesses from coming to the USA ??

Dear Canadians, \nIt will be extremely painful but I know, without a doubt, that you will NOT bend the knee to trump nor putin. \nYou will overcome and come out stronger without the whims of the United States minority rule where white Americans control the lives and futures of the rest and the cowardice of the republicans that kiss their leader's feet for fear of being primaried by his billionaire master. \nI look forward to seeing you on the other side stronger, prouder, and more independent than you have ever been.\nMy full respect and admiration go to each of you❤\nGodspeed Canada

Come on... We know why Trump targeted Canada. Its because he was upset when Justin Trudeau was caught on a hot mic back in 2019 in London when he was talking about Trump's press conference. Trump is a child who likes to get his payback for people who he believes wrong'd him.

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

Don’t listen to this liar. Don’t be fooled. He’s a puppet for the World Economic Forum. He’s worked very hard to destroy Canada. He’s resigning in a few days. It can’t come any sooner.

Isn’t drug coming to Canada from USA & south Amenrican countries??

They should talk about guns coming into Canada ?? they are not going to stop this with out talking about illegal gun trade to Canada ??

This Canada beef comes out of nowhere like bruh

Canada has been the preferred access point for criminals and terrorist for the past 4 years. I have a place right on the border and 8 months ago I caught a young East Indian who already had several felony in the states and had been shipped back to India in previous years. How the heck did that man get a student visa to come to Canada. There are 50,000 East Indian Students missing in Canada who simply used the visa to get into Canada and run the border. This is what we’re are dealing with. I live on the border and I’ve never seen this much traffic. Border guards are simply picking their targets and having to ignore others. So I ask u how do u think I feel about my property being used as an illegal highway bcz of your government incompetence. As someone who also works in native communities throughout Canada I’ll also Trudeau words fall like shit from ass. The drugs have ravaged native communities to the tune of 3/4 of the young ppl. Grandparents are raising the grandchildren and it’s all kept hush hush by the liberal media. They’ve done nothing to stop it bcz it normally boils down to minority groups who they brought in who are making it.

Interesting. So it sounds like Canada just started last year with stopping drugs from coming over the border...remind me, how long have drugs been coming across? Bluff called, Canada, you were abusing the United States, until Trump came around...shame on you, too late. And like he said, this will be tough. But drugs stay out, child trafficking stays out.

While I don’t agree with Trumps tariffs, I understand why he’s doing them. As a Canadian citizen, please don’t glamorize Trudeau- hes a spoiled rotten brat of a former PM. Nothing more. You’ve not lived the last 10 years under his totalitarian govt, suspending the rights of Canadians at will, insulting and dividing our country at will, taking away legal firearms owners rights rights at will (people who had to pass safety courses and are more vetted than RCMP officers). \n\nHe’s proven to be more fake than a $3 dollar bill. All the liberal & ndp’s in Canada are. He has the worst record in Canadian history as a PM, including the highest taxes, home prices, massive, unsustainable immigration, and the worst healthcare crisis in Canada’s socialized medical system since its inception. \n\nHe’s accumulated more debt than all previous PM’s COMBINED (as per the PBO). \n\nThen he comes on here after he resigned on Jan.6th - yes after cratering Canada’s economy methodically for the last 10 yrs - to inflame the POTUS and who will pay for that? Canadian and American working class citizens. \n\nIf you think Canada is so great, you’re either a wealthy boomer, or have no clue what it’s like to work for a living in this modern economy in Canada. People are required to work 2-3 jobs just to afford the basics. Wages have been stagnant since the 90’s here, with cost of living rising 600-700% in the last 10 yrs.

Our current government is deplorable and I want no part of it. This man is not my president. Is destroying my country. I am a disabled American veteran and I did not spend eight years in the military for this. I want to come and live in Canada. This is not right that is not normal it's not legal moral or ethical. I am so glad you're fighting back.

I had to stop listening to this panty waste! We have been trying to understand for TEN YEARS, what the Liberal/NDP Coalition has been doing/saying. Why did it take a President from another country, to threaten tariffs for them to do their jobs? Sell Out Singh, is just as much to blame, as is Croatia Freeland, Mark “Carnage” Carney! Carney probably made a deal with DT for all of this!! I am not a fan of DT, not even close, and it pains me to agree with some of the things he’s saying. JT, says 1% of drugs come from here. That’s 1000% ? ?!! They don’t even check the ports. This dude at the border is a friend of JT’s, just like everyone in his cabinet! His old babysitter, his best man, at his wedding… IRS an absolute disgrace what’s happening here! I/we just want our country back, that’s it! We NEED an election and complete change of government! JT, the failed drama teacher, had zero business being a politician, let alone a PM!! He is the absolute disgrace of Canada! His legacy, is FAILURE. Hopefully these tariffs leave when Trudope/Carnage and Sell Out are gone from office! ??????????

We know why HE is doing this. He is pushing an imperialistic agenda, so he can be like those he admires. He's hoping that Canada will bend at the knee and give in so that he can claim Canada as a 51st state. But guess what? That won't happen. He's just doing himself and his country harm. He doesn't care about you, or me, or us as two countries that have always worked together. But we are setting up border security to keep American drugs, and weapons, and illegal migrants from coming into Canada. We're going to have to survive by reverting our trade to elsewhere, to depend on ourselves, to boycott U.S. products. We may be nice, but we are also tough. We love our society, our democracy, and our benefits. We won't give that up. Growing up, I lived in South Western Ontario, I used to go back and forth from Canada to the U.S. with no issues. Now, I'm sad to say, I won't ever be going to the U.S. again. Let's all hope for a brighter future for both countries.

I feel exactly the same way that woman feels standing behind Justin Trudeau. Coming from a dual citizen of America and Canada ??

Two things come to mind after hearing about all this stuff. Why you go on live TV and waste your time when you could attempt to talk it out with the American government? Also, if the United States is posing a 25% tariff in Canada is doing the exact same thing isn't it more or less a wash?

Trudeau and the country Canada are also been grifted and lied to by Donald Trump all the wonderful things that he said that he and Donald did together we’re all self-serving for Donald. He never has any intention to keeping allies happy that chainsaw that they broke out on the world stage is coming for everybody. But guess what we’re not gonna stand for it. They thought they were pandering this to a bunch of sleeping idiots but we’re awake and we have been awake.

What % of phentonol does the US say comes in from Canada? Canada say 1%. Tariffs are unjustified if it’s that low. I think it’s kick the small boy so bigger boys like the EU are more flexible. Trump said EU VAT ‘tariff’ to USA. Does he not realise VAT is a purchase tax applied to all = internal products, and anything from all countries.

Reciprocal tariffs coming to Canada

I agree. Here is a perplexing question which may shine some light into what is happening here. Why are we always hearing what comes from Canada into the US when more fentynal and illegal guns come into Canada from the US than the other way around? What are they doing for us?\nFentanyl going into the US was just an excuse.

Come on Canada, come to us! Europe embraces you!

When are these republicans going to wake up? Trump is leading his whole party and the rest of the country off a cliff! Start a trade war with Canada for absolutely no apparent reason? This man’s agenda will come to light, because there is a reason he’s doing this, it’s just not common knowledge.

Indian Tv is purposely pushing its national interest by blaming Canada ! \n\nThis is ungrateful attitude! So many Indians moved to Canada , earned a lot and settle safely … now you all complain ! \n\n\nAll these shit happened cos if Indians coming to Canada! \n\nThey abused the system , the submitted fraud documents to get PR in Canada !\n\nBcos of these shenanigans by Indians … genuine , deserving candidates suffering

Canada come trade with Europe ?

Make the USA to get a passport to come to Canada like we have to do when Canadians go to USA

Omg the start of this speech has covered everything I know about Canada lol “US largest partner, reasonable, polite” lol\nAlso Australia better have bulls like this guy if it comes to it, I like his play

I am a true Patriot of Canada, but we have been living on boral time when it comes to our defense systems, including the borders. And we have depended on the U S far too long, and for that I blame the Canadian government. The Trudeau/liberals said they were going to fix it well here we are unprepared now here we are 10 years later. We need an election right now. Canadians cannot afford to wait any longer, the people need to pick the time, and that's now.

The reason for this 'trade war' is not about 'trade'. It's about 'creating chaos' so that president Trump is the 'centre' of world attention. A malignant naracistic individual apparently cannot have anyone seemingly to be 'doing better' or being more successful than he is. Canada ?? is a very successful nation and because of its economic success it is creating envy and apparently hatred in certain individuals who view the success of Canada ?? as a threat to themselves. The USA now apparently cannot see the value of a strong and stable economy as its near neighbours. Thats why apparently there are some who now want to crash the Canadian economy and when times then 'get tough' the blame and responsibility for this chaos will be accepted by whom. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go. Once their 'term is over' they simply 'walk away'. World leaders need to be men or women of integrity and honesty who 'do the right thing'. With 'great power' comes 'great responsibility'. You only 'give responsibility' to someone who has the wisdom and expertise and understanding in order to both 'hold' and 'govern' wisely and without fear or favor. Maybe its time for others in positions of authority in other institutions to step in and 'take control'. You would never let a child drive a super car on the highway so how much 'damage' has to happen before a world leader is not 'held to account' and his 'hands removed' from the steering wheel before there is a motor accident so large that the freeway is rendered unless and has to be totally shut down your. You cannot have total power in the hands of individuals who apparently do not possess the necessary skills knowledge and experience and wisdom that is required to fulfil the role they were elected to fulfil. A person with the mind and mentality of a child apparently is not a fit person to be running the economy of any nation. May Canada ?? remember its roots and may we all be thankful for true and honest leaders who have integrity and do and say the right thing. Thank you Mr Prime minister. I trust that King Charles III has heard what his Canadian prime minister has said and what he is doing with total integrity.

Canada and the EU should come closer together and show them how strong cooperation can be! ❤

THANK YOU CANADA. WE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE IN GRAVE TROUBLE. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS WAGED A WAR AGAINST US.WE ARE COMING OUT OF SHOCK, DENIAL,TRAUMA AND MOVING TOWARD ANGER,MOTIVATION,\nUNITY AND FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR FREEDOM, RIGHTS AND WELLBEING. WEVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TAKE OVER OF OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE IN FEAR AND HOPE YOU CAN SOMEDAY FORGIVE US.\n\nGOD BLESS AMERICA DURING THIS HORRIFIC TIME IN HISTORY. TIME FOR ACTION NOW.

no Critical minerals from Canada, China and now also not from the Ukraine.. good luck america! rest of the world comes together as America isolates itself aligning with Putin!

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

President Trump want the best for the American people. President Trump wants Canada to secure their borders stop drugs coming over the border. That 5.5 thousand miles long I’m sure these holes in that line. President Trump wants everyone to start paying their share. Canada needs to know they need us more than United States needs them.

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What if Trump stops all Canadian Visa’s into the US? They love to come here for 6 months out the year and buy property . If he cuts that out it’s over for Canada . This can get UGLY

Hey folks, don’t come visit Canada this year. It’s not gonna be a good year.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

Im American and i don’t care about other countries. Im for America and only America. Ukraine has been taking and taking out money. Weapons and we get nothing. Yet the EU is going to get their money back, but not us. And Canada got that tariff because of the fentanyl that’s coming across you and the Chinese border. So I don’t care if Canada is mad

I Am A PROUD AMERICAN, \nI COME FROM A FAMILY OF HARD CORE COMBAT VETERANS\nSINCE. 1776.\nI Proud Of My CANIDIAN Ancestry On My Maternal Side,\nNova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Ontario CA\nI Pray CANADA. SHUTS DOWN\nTHE MY OIL SUPPLY \nAND POWER TO THOSE STATE'S\nWho Think MAGA Spicemens \nWho Think ORANGE ? DRAFT DODGING CRIMINAL SUFFER.

Go Canada, Starmer won’t say shit to Trump and bully boy Vance, how did it come to this, stop military aid, means more civilian deaths ?‍♂️

Wow! American here. I just scrolled through hundreds of responses, looking for idiots spouting maga talking points, and did not find a single one. This gives me hope. I just hope MAGA comes to their senses before our economy is ruined. Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, and thank you, Canada.

@robertedward7023 It can but I think Trump is right on this one. Zelensky needs to realize that he won't get his land back that Russia took, and that negotiating is the only way to come to peace now. He's living in a fairytale world fighting an unwinnable war. I think the US is right to pull the plug on financial aid to try to pressure Zelensky to negotiate to end the war. Unfortunately, to end the war Ukraine will likely have to concede the land they lost. But the reality is Putin will never give that land back. But it's better than more people dying everyday. Zelensky has gotten all too comfortable relying on financial aid and as a result he hasn't been willing to try anything new (like negotiate) to get this war finished. If we keep sending him money, nothing will change. Now he has pressure to negotiate. the US and Canada can't keep sending money to Ukraine for the next 20 years while this war carries on.

Canada isn't a Country it's the 51st US State. Better Hope Greenland doesn't beat you to the Deal. First come, First serve to the Full backing and open Arms with a Bear Hug included with 0% Tariffs and increased Developmental Funding.

There is no way Trudeau knows how much drugs are coming across the border. The Cartel has so many ways to do it. And Trudeau flooded Canada with thousands of refugee's and he better start deporting the illegals in Canada.

Securing our boarders north as well as south . China military coming into Canada as well as drugs crossing our boarder from the north ? US promised Russia that NATO would not enter Ukraine . There is more to this story than the spin that Trudeau and CNN is presenting . Stop funding this war . Stop the killing . Stop laundering our tax dollars .

A big thank you to all other Countries that stand behind Canada. Proud to be Canadian! The drug problem does come from China to Mexico then it ends up in Canada. Trump needs to do his research. Canada proud!????????
