0:34-0:37 “Canadians are reasonable and polite…”\nThen why am I in Canada for one minute getting yelled at by CBSA…\n\nBro Justin stop lying.\n\nY’all need to stop it, I’d rather live in Japan than Canada…\nAt least they don’t talk about race all day long. Smh

What did he say as long as Canadians are doing better than Americans we don't give a f***

Americans seem to be powerless or in shock as their nation is begging handed over to Russia. Putin has a plan, long term plan and it’s working . Yet most Americans are in limbo as their rights and future is being taken away from them :(.

Everyone is guilty of dealing with Russia, including Canada, Europe & the USA. Europe got hooked on Putins energy, and the west continues to buy from Russia! Fertilizers, uranium, metals, just till recently the world was buying grains from Russia ?? to! And everyone was still rubbing shoulder with Putin as long as it fit them.

Canada will not stand long in fighting Tariffs against USA. USA has more consumers than Canada therefore producers will move to USA where there is no Tariffs.

Trump is not the US and his behavior is not in the best interest of the US. He is the president because he is a skilled con man. However, narcissistic bullying tactics do not work forever as long as there are people with a modicum of intelligence and self respect. He’s trying to be a bully to get his way because it worked for him in the past. He’s is using his position to bolster himself financially and his ego. Everyone should stand up for themselves to include those in the US.

Trump objective is to crush the US economy, to find a reason to stay in power beyond the 2 term limits. He does not care that our economy is crushed as long he stays in power.

Americans seem to be blind TRUMP is obviously a Putin agent you’re denied it long enough, do something before it s to late and a dear Leader has taken over ,,,,

This guy has been president for so long lol nice democracy Canada

How long before Americans decide that Canada holding out on essential resources will cause them to suffer too much before they side with MAGA and invade? The language from both sides is strong yet measured but dangerous.

I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

Justin, where have you been now? That's how a Prime Minister acts. You should have done this a long time ago. Have a backbone and keep it. You made a lot of Canadians proud of you today.

The reason for this is Trump wants industry back in the US, and as long as people buy things from outside of the US cheaper, that's not going to happen. Thus the tariffs. That's what they're for, protectionism. Why he pretends it won't be bad for americans or that they won't be paying more for products, I don't know. Perhaps his way of preparing people for bad times. Or the wishful thinking bit he swears to. Whatever. But what sane person would build up an industry predicated on Trump being consistent and willing to stay the course? An industry that would fall apart like it's 1920 the moment tariffs end? I predict noone.\n\nI have some experience with Clark, he was an insightful man during his command in Europe. It should be concerning when he can't see a reason for these actions, for cozying up to Putin and alienating allies. There's no end goal here that is in the US' interest. Trump's cabinet is not interested in this sort of thing, they are domestic dilettantes. There is no 4D chess. So what is the deal? Is it just his anger at Zelensky for not investigating Hunter Biden during the election? It seems... a bit too much for that, despite Trump being known as extremely spiteful.

Is Trump doing this so that in the long term, he can justify an invasion of Greenland? I can't see any other logic to it. If that's his plan, god help him....

People need to understand that the damage and fallout that will certainly come from all of the things that Donald Trump is doing is intentional. \nTrump's efforts to weaken NATO, destroying our relationships with our long-standing Western European allies, creating friction and distrust with our border countries of Canada and Mexico, taking a wrecking ball to all of our governmental institutions that hold this country together, sowing a lot of hatred and distrust among American citizens along racial and ethnic lines, using tariffs to destroy the American economy, efforts to cause Americans to lose trust in our courts, justice and Healthcare systems, trying to Villianize Zelensky of Ukraine while praising the dictator from Russia, is all part of a plan to weaken or maybe even destroy our country and to allow Russia to rise.\nIt is painfully obvious that Donald Trump is an agent for Vladimir Putin and Russia against the United States, Ukraine and the democracies of Europe. \nDonald Trump is a traitor! The Republicans in Congress need to do their jobs and remove him from office ASAP!

The U.S. turning its back on its allies—especially Canada—while favoring its historical adversary, Russia, is beyond comprehension. Such actions undermine decades of trust, shared sacrifices, and strategic cooperation. Abandoning allies in favor of an adversary with opposing values raises serious questions about long-term commitments and global stability

As a Liberal and someone who votes Democrat, Canada I am so sorry. Please know that this is NOT what we voted for, and NOT what we want. Fully Half of Americans know that trump IS SO WRONG AND INCREDIBLY EVIL, we're just waiting for the other half of America to wake the ₣⨆¢₭ UP. But they are a ₷₸⨆₽|₫ lot and we don't know how long it will take. We are also waiting for the rest of LAZY Americans to get to the POLLS AND VOTE in the next election.

BTW: didn‘t US-doctors give out for a very long time Fentanol like candy for anyone with any amount of pain? Why was that not regulated sooner, if it is even regulated now? Which US-Family profits from that? And I bet that Trump is a shareholder there too.

It‘s gonna be a long four years with that US administration. Biden in the nursing home would have been better.

Canada has long been the 51st state of the US, as they follow the US so closely politically, ecumenically, culturally, foreign policy wise, etc. Canada has been following and listening to the US fed government even closer than some of the US states, e.g. California (leftists) & Texas (rightists). This is especially true under Trudeau who has been willingly to be part of, and to be subordinate to the US governments. He has nobody but himself to blame for the current situation.

United States never needed Canada to survive The US has been getting reamed by Canada and other Countries way too long. If this means our jobs come callback home, then so be it. We are no longer going to pay out more than we are given. US first.....

He a liar! Canada already has tariffs ..milk product 7.5% to quota than 247%, cars 45% that’s two of many that have been implemented long ago!

Has Trump or Vance already demanded aplogises from Canada/Should all Canadians stand on their knees? How long americans gonna stand that trump insanity?? I think toaday everybode admits that it is sheer clinical insanity

Canada has had it to good for to long .\nI stand with America. ??

I've hated Trudeau for so long as a Canadian with a brain but my god at least he's not Trump. Were all screwed under Putler and Trunk.

america won't hold these tariffs for long, remember Canada is a commonwealth country under the protection of his majesty the king of uk, a trade war with Canada is effectively a trade war with the uk and its commonwealth, the uk and the commonwealth will not stand by and watch putin being mommy cuddled by trump, let that sink in the british commonwealth is the largest fighting force in the world, the king has invited trump to the uk am pretty sure the king will let him know, Canada and the uk is the special relationship not the u.s fact, god bless Canada and the United Kingdom

I must say I woke up with let’s just say not a smile on my face because of these news. But today, I have never been more proud to be Canadian ?? we must work together and be clear about our future and what we want. Support local businesses and stick up for one another. Bullies won’t succeed for long.

You guys would compliment anyone as long as they’re bashing Trump.

I wonder how long before we are begging Canada to save us from this dictator.

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

I'm reading through the comments and one thing is very clear. We need to impeach Donald. He's not serving the interests of Americans but rather treacherous dictators like Putin, by hurting long standing and mutually beneficial relationships with our best and closest allies.

Trump is correct! It will hurt in the begging but it will help USA in the long run! Go Trump, Go!!!

Mmm, how come he didn't mention the tariffs on Canadian goods sold in America that Canada has been charging Americans for a long time? What's good for the goose is not good for the gander!

Freedom loving Americans need to get ready for a long struggle too.

Why is it so difficult for the Canadian government to stop cooperating with the CCP and end all transaction and trade of fentanyl? Why does the Canadian people need to pay the price for the greed and stupidity of this irresponsible government? Which politician is benefiting from the fentanyl deal? When Canadian politicians are in bed long enough with the CCP, they will work for this communist regime and not for the Canadian people. Trump is certainly looking out for the American people, who is Trudeau looking out for?

I hope all the Maganuts and die-hard Republicans that bend a knee to a despicable wannabe tyrant Commander in Cheats, who only shines in one color, Orange, feel the pain of voting for a liar and cheat when these stupid tariffs come stumbling down on businesses that support EL Pendejo. This piece of Dongbeetle fodder does not represent all Americans, and for that, I wholeheartedly apologize to our Canadian friends. Our elected buffoon wants every one to kiss his feet like his hand picked minions, unlike Zelensky, who told him to take a long walk off a short pier.

I have been here before when I lost my logging job long ago ,

Canada, have you all forgotten what this joke did to your country? You should have shut the drug run down and the sex trafficking a long time ago. Dont be surprised if his name doesn't show up on the LIST.

Such an elegant speaker. So Adult!! Not like the “old infant” we have here in the states “acting out.” And ruining our country. We have a child in the oval office, throwing tantrums. We are doomed as long as he’s there. We stand with you, Canada!

American Gorverment thinks Canada is easy to bully, even if it is easy to bully, so you are not going to bully your closest friends and long-term allies. Do you know how much our regular people go shopping and spend money in the US each day ?

You should have done all the changes long before Donald told you. It’s like you reacting when the shit hits the fan. We don’t need you Canada ?.

Close your open door policy and stop letting everyone come to your country. And then they sneak into our country. Go to Vancouver and you will see there is a brown and yellow town I mean how many of them are illegal. On the other hand i understand what you saying. Key words border check point. But how long is the border in Canada thousands of ways for stuff to come through

Canada is going to be America Soon. Good Luck . You have destroyed your people long enough. Daddy needs to fix your decades of mistakes.

Our Government doesn’t give a ? about us. It’s almost too expensive to live. Struggling has become our new norm. As long as their pockets are full, that’s all that matters. Sure wish you were our President …. Why can’t America be like Canada?…

Long live Canada ??

Quit acting like this is a guy who Canadians actually like. Trudeau is massively unpopular and will be gone very soon, when the new Prime Minister of Canada is put in place there will be a deal. Canada has run wild for far too long getting the best of us in every way now that it is fair they act as if they have been doing us favors all along when it has been the other way around.

When I think that not so long ago Canada came to the rescue when California was on fire…

As a Canadian, I can tell you that I won't be buying anything made in US, product of US or even shipped from the US, even if tariffs were removed tomorrow, I will continue to boycott as long as the orange buffoon is the president.
