Respect, Monsieur Trudeau, enfin un politique qui parle juste, sans détour mais sans les excès qui caractérisent les discours délirants de l’agent du Kremlin qui occupe actuellement la Maison Blanche.\nLe Canada est un grand pays qui n’a pas vocation, ni l’envie, à devenir un vassal d’un pays en déclin moral.\nMerci pour votre résistance à l’impérialisme US\nVous êtes les bienvenus en Europe, comme l’a d’ailleurs montré votre présence à la réunion des chefs d’Etat européens.\nSoyez notre 28eme étoile !

Pay attention to these fake leaders. Try to play tough!! 4 years American was suffering, and they haven't done anything but to support what was ruined the American. Now, a real man in the office doesn't fall to this same bs from sleep joe, even the Canadian was suffering. No voice was heard. And now this????

So he's saying Canada will continue to not pay their contractual UN obligations to help defend Ukraine, (and other countries in conflict), and will instead be dumping the penalty for non-payment on his own people and the US tax payers who have been supporting his country's debts for decades?

I'm willing to pay more if it keeps fentanyl out of this country. Our children's lives are worth more .

i lost my job from the government 3 weeks ago, i never voted for trump he has ruined my life and everything i worked for and im not sure i will be able to make my car payment, pay my rent, get gas, hell even get food, i live in maryland and im suffering so much i cant have no fun anymore i have no money to spend on anything i dont necessarily need im literally penny penching now.

I'm with Mr. Trudeau on this one. Anybody with at least two brain cells...do you disagree? What the hell is wrong with people that would believe in this scum. How do you know if dump and muskrat really have your back? It sucks to be you. This is almost unbelievable. Pops, sorry, you go for this puke, I'm out and you have nothing to offer me. I don't need anything from you or your business or anything you wanted me to have that has blood money all over it. I'm a child of God's before your sperm donation. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, DAD. Congratulations on paying more for stock thanks to these idiots. If you are not for me, you ARE against me. I call bullshit on every single MAN on earth, including ME!

We all got to pay this price inflation ??

Trump killed All Americans freedoms today Trump has alined himself with Putin Stand up all Americans don't give a fist pump to Trump as he hands us all to Putin and Elon regeim Soviet rule If you have travel plans Americans are not welcome around the world Pay attention

I could care less for Canadas tariffs. I’m willing to pay more to pay for products made in other countries

You act like your broke well paying time my guy welcome

They must pay a lot of people to police the comments lol. This world is WILD

Happy to see this from our prime minister, however as an voter i cannot ignore the last 8 years. Trumps 25% tariffs are stupid, hes right. But were paying more in carbon tax on everyday things comparatively.

He’s cry baby pay

Prime Minister Trudeau was more than polite and kind. As he knows, Trump is not intelligent, and a pathological liar, wannabe dictator, narcissistic fascist and poor businessman to boot. Trump has bullied, threatened and failed to pay thousands of tradesmen and contractors that have worked for him and wishes to hurt them further by extending and increasing tax cuts to individuals and institutions that have not paid their fair share of taxes and social security since the Reagan years. The allegations that Trump has laundered money for Russian oligarchs since his association with Deutsche Bank began are substantial and should be investigated.

He actually said that we're aligning with Russia! What a LIE! Meditating a war is not aligning! Tell them to pay their part! Stop reporting lies!

Just put trump and dude in a room and lock the door. Whoever comes out alive we’ll go with that deal. They going back and forth while us hard working Americans going through life trying to pay our bills.

Trudeau is also a dictator. We would rather Canada pay tariffs than for US citizens to pay high taxes. It makes more sense. If the products are worth it, they will still sell.

Cry me a River Trudeau. No more freebies time to pay.

We are speaking to you as a tax paying American! No more money to subsidize your country! Protect your own borders without our military help!

The tariffs make sense from the position of trump being an ally with putin. trump is punishing countries that have supported Ukraine, thinking that if he weakens these countries with tarrifs, these same countries will turn inward and discontinue their support of Ukraine. I wonder how much putin has offered to pay trump if trump can strong arm Ukraine into ending the war, leaving russia with land stolen from Ukraine. Something stinks of corruption here.\nThank you for speaking from a place of power and truth Prime Minister Trudeau.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Elbows up from North Dakota! I didn't vote for him but now we all pay the price...and for what?

52 % of Americans did not vote but now you have a CLOWN for president ... pay your due from CAnada.

As an American, I say, thank you for standing up to Trump! We all pay the price for the fact that a bunch of fools thought it was a good idea to put an insane felon back in power.

There is no way Agent Orange can pay attention through an entire 22 minutes.

Obviously this is the only kind of action towards Trump and Co that works. And obviously I’m not saying all Trump will understand because I don’t think he wants to understand- his aim is to build a worldwide oligarchy. People on paychecks will pay the price

Trump just gave out 4.5 Trillion Dollars on Tax Cuts for the Rich Billionaires & 1.5 Trillion Dollars Spending Cuts from the American people's entitlements to pay the bill. Taking The People's Money

Fidel Castro son needs to understand that it’s time to pay the piper?? America’s getting taken advantage of. It’s a new era in America’s going to be on top bigger than ever. So pay kid and stop crying about it.

pay us back everything you've given you

Canada are lucky to have this president at this time. As for the American people, you voted Trump in and you are now paying the price.

15th generation Canadian here. We don't hold the Democrat voters responsible, but we hold all whom didn't vote, and the MAGA's responsible, along with Hair dRumph. You have awakened a beast, and now you will pay attention and feel the pain, if you haven't already. Canadians have been boycotting all things American for months now. We have no desire to align ourselves with Putin-lovers anyway. It was nice knowing you. Au revoir. #canadaproud

He's just mad they gotta pay up

What is wrong with y'all...Canadians depend on US military protection. Their military is 1/30th of our military in size and technology putting it mildly. Which allows them to focus their budget not on defense spending but on their citizens. Where US citizens pay for a huge military budget so forgive me if I could care less about Canadians and their perceived unfair tariffs.... time to pay your share or become 51st state

We've been paying your Tariffs for years, now we're charging you Tariffs and you come unglued, your kidding!!!

Trump has sold the lie that tariffs will pay for many great things. 1-It's a direct-to-consumer tax. 2-History has proven that tariff wars are bad for all concerned. P.S. Warren Buffet recently said that if all US corporations paid taxed like his companies do, We'd have no need for income taxes. Trump works from the other end of the tunnel that Ideally no taxes for corporations, and the wealth will trickle down and bless us all.

Have we put into law that we are not paying inflated prices until the re-stock?!

Pay up the same way America does. Canada has tarrifs on America, but you cry when America puts tarrifs on your country. Man up little man. ????????????????

Its easy. Increase tariffs. Make the poor and middle class struggle to pay sky high prices. Take in tons of tariffs for your government budget. Lower taxes for your own (super rich) tax bracket. Profit!

What are the tariffs that we pay Canada?

Gonna be tough, here pay an extra 20% come what april

You don't need to speak to us Americans directly. Our President already told your ass what's what. Now either pay up or let's get busy.

Trump is talking out of his ass. We are responsible for less than 1% of fentanyl. We pay more money to states than states pays to us. We helped with 911, their wars and their California fires. We invested Canadian money, & time & lost Canadian lives. When is USA paying us back ???? . \n\nTrump has sold USA to Russia. He is their puppet. \n\nThese tariffs will tank USA economy. \n\nCanada will be hit, but we will survive and thrive. \n\nTrump has united Canada. We will buy Canadian, support Canadians and create more Canadian jobs. We need to keep boycotting anything American. We need to raise prices to all products going to USA on top of tariffs & consider not selling some products. We need to make relationships with other countries who support Canada. We have pressure minerals, and oils. Let them figure out how to get them when Canada steps back.

He's correct, and the GOP should reply this over and over until they get it. Also, voters, these are politicians that we pay to represent our will, not DJT. Lets fix our govt .

Shame on the Canadian government.. We have responsibilities as a country and as long as Justin and Doug keep acting like cry baby’s while selling our country out we should pay.. it’s our fault for electing people with intentions of making personal wealth over civil responsibilities

Trump and Musk are going to cash out...and WE are all going to pay for it!!!

Canada must pay the price of supporting the Demons called ''democrats''.

Americans are going to start paying MORE for everything. Good luck!!!!?

Trump is pay to win.

I think I know why he's doing this. He doesn't like our Prime Minister. It's unfortunate. Don't believe it. But it's still true. And now we pay the price because of it.

We are tired of being taken advantage of. Those of us who voted for Trump gave him permission to put TARIFFS on all those that take advantage of us. If inflation goes up we are will to pay it, at least we know why it went up.
