We’ll buy our own. Stop threatening. And your country will suffer also. Canada citizens. All these countries have been living off of the United States. Time to get off the tit.

Critical minerals in Canada are shovel ready. Even if Trump pushed Ukraine to give up its minerals, it would take 10-15 years to get mines surveyed and then built.

tRump gave the Prime Minister the best gift ever, a war that Canada didn't start but rallies the whole country together against an antagonistic bully. Trudeau will get a 20 point bump in his approval ratings and go out a winner.

Another liar....he can get s job with CNN...Canada needs America more than America needs Canada....Why do we protect,defend them.Bring all jobs to the US!!!Go Trump!!!!!

Prime Minister, it’s the port of Vanvouver where fentanyl is coming into Canada. Those big cargo ships need to go through customs. Please, get that established.

You know there's an old saying that I'm sure Trump is very wise about you keep your friends close and your enemies closer I would say the way Canada is talking they consider us an enemy look at all these other countries that suddenly lined up against America who bailed all of them out of World War II and who brought down the Berlin Wall that shows how thankful you are and America's been paying the highest of the EU and the United Nations than any of you chicken countries I would just laugh at all of you you don't get it and all these comments are from Liberal Democrats who hate Trump it's real obvious that's who his fan base is Trudeau the little boy from the north who's not smart enough to come in from the cold poor guy he's in for a rude awakening she thinks he's going up against America and that we believe any of his BS

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

Stop crying Canada. U and Europe created this monster and now thats coming after u, u still don't get it. U still ask it to play nice

Okay, so is Trump trying to make Canada easier for Russia to invade from the Arctic??? Arctic sovereignty has always been a contentions issue, and it could get even worse. To HELL with Trump and all of the MAGAts and gop.

Mr. Trudeau, Don’t believe it’s anything that Canada has done. Most of Trump’s actions don’t make sense. But don’t expect him to ever get better. He is mentally unstable as any clinical psychologist can see.

Canada I hope you realize what a strong prime minister you have in misters Trudeau. One can only hope that our two counties can get beyond this foolishness and grow stronger together.

I get my pet meds from Canada so now I can’t get it for 3//4 of the price from US.

Anti American!!! Breaking up with America - Wow so biased CNN...in your president's eyes, fake news! Let's get real -American CNN...look at the facts!!! Peovide the facts...describe the facts ..Canada have provided the facts...shame on you where is your moral courage? A wasted college education here - selling yourselves to the devil- shame on you CNN\nLet's watch on world and see how this American debacle unfolds. Having aid that I love the American people ...they must step up!

Let's not forget how Trudeau and his party ruined our country in the last 4-8 years... It's like Canadians are already forgetting that and are praising him? Sure I get these steps against tariffs are in the right direction but this man still sickens me. Canada is not the same because of him and the liberal party. It's time for change.

That Paula Newton lady is framing this like this is Canada's fault, not that the US started this whole situation. Canada is only responding to getting punched in the face by saying they won't let themselves continue to get punched, which is 100% reasonable. Sorry both Americans and Canadians will have to deal with this insanity and the rest of the world will have to deal with the ramifications of Trump's destructive policy.

What happens when things get so bad that Canada closes the border access to Alaska? What then?

?? Trudeau didn't even bring up the part where Donny keeps threatening to annex Canada.\nAs a Canadian....ya...we are pissed at the irresponsible and bullying tactics of Putin's lap dog.\nWhen America gets it's ethics back and respect for rule of law and turns its back on authoritarianism...\nMaybe then we can resume our profitable relationship...but not before.

Scotland stands with Canada now and always ??????? Fuck Trump, Fuck Vance, Fuck Elon. Go get them!!!

LOL ALL Fentanyl coming over the border is from the U.S. into Canada. It is just an excuse to try and get his military up here. It will not happen. We will meet them with UK troops, our troops and EU troops and others if we must so f him but Trump should really go have a little visit with King Charles.

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

Canadians may be respectful people ! But , Trudeau is not respected ! Quite simple ! Well done Trump ! Get back to the early days Canada ! Get rid of Trudeau!

Canada is being too gentle in its initial response. Why not go full throttle right from the get go. It’s shameful what “the most powerful country in the world”,”the land of the free” or whatever arrogant nickname the USA wants to go by. It makes me so sad to feel so angry at the USA knowing that so many of its citizens are good, great people. How can a country which has contributed so so much to the world become so reviled? I’m agog.

Through Canada to USA comes tons of drug's, look at Vancouver and Toronto, USA not only gets goods from Canada we get illegal immigrants and drug's. Canada has dirty oil, that USA has to refine to use. Shame both countries can't work together and be strong. Ukraine Zelensky just wants money, don't care about his people, and will cause WWW111 if countries keep giving to him.

Powerful speech from PM Trudeau! So much wisdom.\n\nWe Finns are on your side dear Canadians! I have now started to be more conscious from where are all the goods and stuff that are available for purchase here in Finland really coming from. I just bought a big smoked fish originated from Canada at the local grocery store and from now on, starting to look carefully our labels to get this support to the right address. ❤

Ah yes, the trade war that Canada will surely lose. I love Canada. Wouldn't trade it for the world, but this is a losing battle by which citizens on both sides will feel the full effect. Trump appeasing Putin is a chess move, that the PM seems to be overlooking. The US can't afford to go to war with Russia, but at the same time, it needs resources within Russia's neighboring region. So the US will do what they always do, and had people listened to what Kissinger had to say, they'd be better prepared for this. Nonetheless, let's stand proud and strong, and come together as Canadians in order to get through this.

I'm a REAL AMERICAN. I proudly Stand with Canada, Ukraine and all Sovereign Nations and allies.\n\nRussia and Putin ARE THE ENEMY!!\nTRUMP IS A TRAITOR!!\n\nWe are United with Canada and we'll get through this TOGETHER.

Canadian here. There's a lot of people in Canada that don't like Trudeau for a lot of reasons, but with the recent events I think the majority of the country has come to tolorate him a little while longer until we get a new Prime Minister. Trumps actions have only united the Canadian people.

Stop letting traffickers in your Neighbors Country.\nHalf of Canada wanted to get rid of this guy.

Im an American. Im ok with Trump putting tariffs on Canada. Trudeau has not been a good leader. So he'll use this to get the Canadians on his side. Don't forget Trudeau ceased the truckers money.

Why doesn't someone just come out and say it. What does Putin have on Trump to get him to do all these things. All of these things don't benefit Canada or the United States they benefit Putin.\n Donald I for one am completely willing to forgive you whatever you've done whatever Putin has on you I will completely forgive you and I would imagine to put an end to all this craziness the rest of the country will forgive you too will give you a pass on whatever Behavior Putin recorded

Trump wants a literal war with Canada. He wants his name in history book. That's all it's to him, just like for Putin. Sick evil people.\n\nWhen he's going to blame Canada for the destruction of USA stock market due to his stupid tariff war, he'll pretend that's a good excuse to take the country by force. This is just plain evil. America went in one generation from hopeful and peace loving nation to Putin's best friend. Sickening.\n\nWhat does Trump think his actions are going to do? Most of the world now hates him. Most of the world now hates Elon, and Tesla. He's a destroyer, not a builder.\n\nRepublican party and everyone working in right wing media, you happy now? You happy that Putin is able to take over entire country because of your bigotness and hatred for minorities? You're going to get your FAFO too one day, that's the revolution that will not be fought with words of appeasement or be as miserable failure as Jan 6.

Next steps, Leave Nato, and then invade Canada. What could possibly go wrong? Message to Trump: Canadians actually have lots of guns. Trudeau didn't get them all!

CNN celebrating an outgoing Prime Minister of a foreign county to give a “blistering speech” against the new American president, while when he does that, they fall apart in disbelieve and outrage!\n\nWhat else is “NEWs”?\n\nRename CNN Candian Network News, maybe. \n\nI used to watch CNN daily, now it’s just a turn-off. Literally. \n\nTrudeau has been a disaster for Canada and Canadians… and he’s being chased “out of town”, but if he attacs the US or even better Pres. Trump, he’s oh so cool and fashionable. \nBut is he?\nHe helped Trump get elected, just like the woke left and CNN. \n\nPad yourself on your shoulders, it wasn’t easy but you did it, well with the help of the rest of the left media. \n\nThanks!

I for one would be happy to live in Canada and pay taxes to them instead of the US. Open your doors, Canada, and you will get people investing in your economy. Mass exodus.

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

All of which Canada took initiative to do, Mexico has been doing as well since December and this still comes up? What in the wacko Murica needs to get off that fentanyl

Come on Canada.. its time Americas allies give America back a little.\nThey can have Russia and North Korea.\n\nThe UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and China can get together and have our own agreements

Canada has alway had a tariff on US goods. Canada exports aprox 78% of their goods to the US, while the US exports aprox 17% to Canada. Canada will be crushed from this, but if that's what needs to happen to get them in line, then ok.

Hey Trudeau where you going to get those new computer chips from? Haha looks like Canadian electronics will be much like what the world thinks of Canada… Canada is the TEMU country of the entire world! He stop running over elderly women in wheelchairs with drums Mounted MP’s on gay horses! Canada’s claim tofame!

Just curious why so many support Canada as Americans? If you look at the spending and trade throughout the world, America and Americans have been footing the bill for a long time. What exactly is wrong with America putting America first and getting a fair deal with the rest of the world we do business with? It's our taxpayer dollars that fund this and we have been overpaying for decades now. Honest question.

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

I did not vote for Trump. I am ashamed that I get put into the rest of the idiots group that voted for him. I stand with Canada.

Its a tragic turn in history; US + Russia, smh. Canada go trade with us in Europe and Australia, we love you! ❤??????\nAnd to all the americans that didn't want this, take care and get rid of him fast!

Didn’t Justin get fired?! There was ample time to negotiate. Huge trade deficit with Canada.

I hope Canada will plan to take US refugees. Many democrats/liberals want to defect. Trudeau has a sweet heart. I want that in my leader! Please let us come. Or see if Donald will let the US west coast could be assumed by Canada. \nCalifornia, CA\nI’m willing to freeze for life to get away from this regime, please. Make us an offer, sirs.

All Canada had to do was close the border. You refused so now you get destroyed.

Why is Trump doing this? I don't get it. I thought Canada was the USA's #1 buddy.

Canada needs to get together with EU, Mexico, UK, Australia, Japan, etc. to prevent depression. Together we can manage through these dark times. EU countries will buy ALL of the oil, gas and minerals that Canada can sell. Europe is energy and resource hungry.

To this man I say BRAVO BRAVO. GO FOR IT, DONALD DOESN'T RESPECT YOU OR YOUR COUNTRY DON'T BOTHER TO SHOW ANY RESPECT TO A CRIMINAL FELON SEXUAL ASSULTER GREEDY, SELFISH, POWER DRIVEN EGOMANIAC LUNITIC on a revenge tour to hurt America for the crybaby because we didn't vote for him in 2020, very much a applied demented orange poor loser. . THIS so called president trump, and the real PRESIDENT MUSKrat ARE DISRECPECTFUL hate filled idiots that put gold before humans. GO FOR IT, FIGHT BACK AND LET TRUMP KNOW YOU ARE STRONG AND ACTUALLY HAVE A MAJORITY BACKING BY THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES something Donald doesn't have and never did. Donald didn't even get half the votes after 8 years campaigning and all the muskrat money. We respect you and have no respect for maga. GO CANADA.

As an American, Canada do not back down. EU, do not back down. We get what Trump Elon and Vance along with the MAGA Republicans are doing. We apologize for this respectfully. However hard it becomes on us, we know this entire administration is to blame. Please stay strong in democratic diplomacy. Know many Americans support what needs to be done. I support Ukraine
