Wooo the history repeat itself\nAs most think, Ww2 start on 1939, but China has been fighting the evil Japan (especially after Dec 1941) starting 1937.\nCanada is trying to tell the US citizen, Canada is not evil, not his to blame to raise food n energy prices in US.\nBut it has started since 2020. Canada at that point clap hand to celebrate.

I think as an American that likes Canada to a certain point agro tourist spots there a little too isolated with there tiny bridges to get in and there pathetic security at there borders so maple syrup will be more expensive it just means the rest of the states that produce syrup will profit more we as Americans can do without the business of canada but Canada cant go without American support can survive with out Niagara Falls nope

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

Very straightforward condemnation against the Trump administration on these tariffs. Trump is looking for trouble at the expense of the citizens without thinking about the welfare of the people. Trump wants to bankrupt Canada because it has ample resources and Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. It is quite impossible to bankrupt Canada because it can always expand its international trade to other countries, like Europe, etc. Do not tolerate the bully. Salute to Trudeau for being honest to confirm that there are no winners in this stupidity.

What an embarrassment to Canada. Trudeau had 1 job to do: Stop the smuggling of drugs to the states from our border. Instead, he's ignored this and thinks he is justified in talking tough. What a disgrace. We deserve the tariffs for voting in Trudeau.

Mr Trudeau what Trump is doing to Canada is part of his vengeance tour. You didn’t show him the respect he thinks he deserves ?! He doesn’t care who he hurts including the US who he claims to make great again.

Trudeau and his lisp ?? The USA doesn’t need Canada Canada needs the USA - You mad bro ??? I love ❤Trump ! He’s got this liberal douche panties up in a knot !!! I think it’s hilarious- Donald Trump nor America gives two ? about Trudeau or his tariffs- DJT is genius

Trump business minded was never going to think about the level of drugs coming into the state s compared to Canada .

Yet still dictator Justin Castro thinks banning most guns is the answer to solving gun crimes in Canada. We have a revolving door justice system. Canada is home, but it has gone to shit compared to what it was like when I was young.

Trudeau, Trudeau, puts on a show. Think your own truckers are laughing at you. You're not an innocent globalist, proposed with China for Canada steel jobs.

Is he still the PM of Canada, I think he has resigned ????

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

The educated and thinking American people ( who are the majority of voters and unfortunately 1/3 did not vote) know that Donald Trump has lied to us. We understand that Canada has no fault and no role in contriving this trade war. We also know that the Fentanyl problem has little or nothing to do with Canada and that the majority of Fentanyl is brought into the USA by US citizens. Most American citizens do not want this. Donald Trump and is an opportunist. He does not care about the American people . He cares about himself and his money.

Lot of clowns in this comment thread. You think Trudeau is a credible and worth air time? This clown resigned and Canada has a bleak future.

I do agree with you for some things but not all and i do think it was your best speach since 9 years but it does not take away what you have done wrong over your 9 years attacking freely canadien on there rights example:hunting right, sportshooting rights and freedom of expressing,running after the wrong person example:taking away legal firearms when they are not the problem since 80% of illegal firearms comes from outside the canada, I think that trump is just not taking canada seriously, over the past years since you are in power,canada has made a very bad name except for the freedom convye, which in that case made canadien stick together while you steaded in your office,i do think that a new leader/party should take place and give a chance for canada to walk out the mase you have done over 9 years

Just a reminder, Canada/Trudeau commited multiple atrocities against free speech and wellbeing during covid. One example being how they froze the bank accounts of people peacefully protesting the covid mandates. While I don't agree with the tariffs, everybody here should know Canada isnt the perfect, kind, friendly place you think it is. They will turn totalitarian if given enough power or given the right conditions for it.

Hear me out. I think Trump was threatened by Netanyahu to do this to all the countries that agreed with ICJ's arrest warrant and promised to arrest him on arrival. Netanyahu was the first leader Trump met and suddenly EU, Canada, and Mexico are being treated like this.

Haha, canada thinks the loony means something. We've chosen to stop letting you fuck us, pardon me for calling it true.

This is exactly how ALL leaders around the world should be acting & treating Chump-Trump. DJT only understands power, $$, & force; he’s not bright enough nor stable enough to sustain good, healthy, mutually beneficial relationships w/other free, peaceful, reasonable countries such as Canada. \n\nJust one thing Trudeau should add to his comments to Donny:\n“U claim to be a player, but I fucked Ur wife!”\n… bc we all think he did. ?

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

As an American I cannot think of one single thing that I purchase from Canada?

I think something just clicked.... we know that trump is egotistical and he wants the credit for things he didn't do, twist stories to his benefit. With that said. I think trump wants to create this WW3 to gain territory, so places like Greenland, Canada, gulf of Mexico and Gaza he has showed his interests there. So him partnering up with outings agenda. And with america in war, he would get to stay third term. While he fattens the pockets of his oligarchs. His billionaires and his Co-president.

This idiot is playing checkers and trump is playing go fish. 2 absolute morons. This clown still thinks this is over fentanyl……\n It comes from the USA. This is not over fentanyl Trump wants Canada. He wants its resources. He wants its control over the arctic shipping lanes. Just like he wants Greenland for that same reason. Just like he wants panama for that shipping lane. It’s a power grab.

Stop the steal, think about what this means. It means stop stealing from wealthy americans to help poor americans, help americans have healthcare, help american farmers keep their farms. The oligarchs of USA do not want this, they don't want to pay taxes, they want to rule with impunity like Putin. America is being lost day by day, Welcome to West Russia. I have many friends in the USA, and this is a very sad situation and my heart aches for them. I know this is going to hurt in Canada, but screw you orange menace and president Musk, I will go down fighting for the freedoms we (our forefathers) earned, defeating the last facist pig that ruled a country

People can say many bad thing about Trudeau, he's not perfect as a leader, but who is perfect seriously? Conservative party? I don't think Polievre is perfect either, there is no easy way to deal with this, it'S going to cost a LOT of money for Canada to make sure that people and industries survives this...

This clown thinks the US markets are down because of Canada, what a joke. Mexico, Canad a s China together make up only 24% of the US GDP, in contrast Canada's is a 67% of their GDP, so if the US does buy from you, you my friend will feel it more. We stand with our president, American first.

Trump is just doing it to draw attention away from his own country. He can blame Canada and every other country for American problems but that's not gonna work on American people. It's entirely disappointing that trump is pushing away American allies and bizarre that he thinks the economy will be better off.

idk there was so many things imported from Canada. but Canada Canada imports half of its goods from the U.S. over all the i think Canada will hurt more. no real winner at the end

The politicians have lost and don’t think Putin is our friend… We just want people to stop dying… War is not the answer at this point… Bro thinks the retirement stock market is inflation? ? That explains why sleepy Joe messed it all up. Canada is just mad we don’t want their candy. ? Find business elsewhere where I guess bruh. ? You don’t have to cry about it on TV…

What did Canada gain by following the U.S. in imposing a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs? Have you think the U.S. would impose tariffs on Canada as well?

Trump is trying to end war that’s why he wants to make peace with Russia! And there are a LOT of rude Canadians just as Americans! I don’t think Canada and America ever been allies or close friends HONESTLY speaking! But what Trudeau is making a point, this will not go well for everyone! Wow this handsome man knows French as well! How smart of him!

We are always friends with Great Canada. I dont control Trump. And so i wont dont want jail. I say I am so sorry as an American. I won't go into details to why some to why so many Americans think that they can go back in time. Some and many Americans think they are entitled. I cannot say so sorry for something I am not responsible for. I remembered a time when Hitler's friends blamed & they blamed incessantly.

I think it's wrong with United States doing. Bowling in Canada.. what's the dumbest thing he can do to our neighbor Canada that's been with us for many years had our backs and War and hard times in our history. I just think it's wrong what they're doing to Canada.. Donald Trump is very stupid..!!

Trump is sending the world into a tail spin. Just to say he's Putins friend. America will find a whole new world with Russia and China. I feel for the American public who are watching their life go down the gurgler.....even the ones who think he's doing a good job ...won't take long for the peanut to drop in the hole. We'll spoken Trudeau. We'll done canada ??

Donald is having senile dementia we think he doesnt remember anymore previous agreement with Canada

commie news network, we don't care. you'd think you've learned your lesson with your pathetic ratings or the spankings you've received with just pure statistics, and yet you continue to play lefty games...canada will fold shortly, we don't need what they have.

lol ? nobody cares what Canada thinks or says. In the end he can do nothing and it’s burning him up inside ?

America, your president is using YOU as pawns to threaten and force a move on Canada and other allies because he doesn’t care if everyday Americans suffer for what he thinks is for the “greater good” of America. Think about that for a minute, PLEASE.

I think its time Walmart leaves Canada . ? We will not be shopping there anymore. Period.

Just a guess but do you think for a second trump knew this would happen?? And he know its still the right thing to do instead of being taken advantage of? And that canada will talk tojgh amd then renegotiate? Nah not you cry baby libs. Brandon peobably wrote this speech for his teleprompter.\n\nHeres an idea. Meet with him in person and be this tough! Hmmm

For those out there that are thinking Canada is weak please remember that half of the things that are considered war crimes are only on the books because Canada did them first. Canada has a history of fighting dirty.

After the last four years of the Biden Harris administration shitshow I think we'll live! We've been going two hundred billion dollars in the hole dealing with Canada Canada.

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

Canada doesnt have much production at home. they will be getting goods from Europe now and other countries paying on the top more then 40% just for logistical purposes . Canadians... everything will come from your own pocket. Think about it.

Way to go Canada ??. I don't think the U.S. needs to worry about immigration but Canada - you might need to build a wall for the mass exodus from states.

Trudeau is a joke and trump knows it. You simple minded Canadians think Trudeau cares about Canada? Then why in spite of implemented tariffs is he still jacking up carbon tax April 1st? Wake up

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

I’m sorry Canada for my deranged government. Please don’t think they reflect all Americans. Most of us are terrified right now and hate this situation we’re in. And most of us love Canada as our neighbor and friend
