It's a matter of time, Canada is going to be 51st state.

Canada Strong ??

Canada's politeness is mistaken for weakness.

I'm a U.S. citizen and I'm with Canada on this! Way to alienate our friends, Trump!

Trump is a ?. Stand strong Canada. We are with you! ??

oomph my gosh you silly people, Canada will join the USA after trump kills us all :)

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

Well said Canada. 1 of 2 thing I think will transpire from trumps tariffs. Canada will be economically crushed and be sucked into becoming the 51st state. 2. I think there will be Trouble in the USA. Probably a light whiff of civil war. Isn’t it amazing how just one man can cause all this tension in the world

Can we be clear here that Trump launched a trade war against Canada and NOT the United States?

Trump went against the trade deal that he made with Canada and Mexico when he renegotiated the existing deal during his first term. Trump called his deal with them beautiful and perfect. Trump does not keep the deals he makes to other countries or to the Americans who voted for him. \n\nTrump's final push in his campaign was to cut costs for Americans at the checkout, chuckling at the strange sound of the word 'groceries' to him. He has never worried about or dealt with buying groceries. The moment he got back into office, he said that lower prices wasn't happening and that the American people would suffer. \n\nThen he and Republicans began cuts in jobs and government services to Americans as well as others in the world, so that no one can trust Trump --- and in the case of others in the world, it reflects so bad on the U.S. and against any trust in the U.S. anymore. No president has ever done so much damage at home and abroad so quickly. \n\nTrump is the Deceiver and the Destroyer. Trump doesn't care if his voters figure it out. They are no longer needed.

CANADA 51st State of AMERICA !!! Governor Trudeau!

Im a Trump supporter but we sure dont want no fights with Canada....

I am an American and in firm support of the Canadian people, but definitely not Trudeau! Please recall not only his assault against the truckers a few years ago, but his desired seizure of GoFundMe monies that INDIVIDUALS sent to the truckers! Perssure later required him to take his hands off. And I've seen videos of how badly he treats Christians. I do not support Russia or China, but I do consider Trudeau to be of the same ilk. I don't worship Trump and will be actively communicating with those who represent me in the US govrrnment to let them know my desires. I am hopeful that in Canada someone better than Trudeau very soon takes his place.

American. I stand behind Canada. I didn’t vote for this, but I will stand proud as it all crumbles so those that did can feel the consequences of their actions.

So many truth bombs were detonated here. Viva Canada! ?? ?

F Canada

U.S. Army Vet here. I stand with Canada and the American people.

Trudeau before trump : hates Canada \nAfter trump: loves Canada

I am not a fan of PM Trudeau but on this occasion, I'm willing to flipflop. Oh, my goodness, it's so refreshing to hear a country leader speak a coherent sentence, a coherent thought structure, zero vanity tripping, berating opponents, finger-wagging, screeching accusations, tantrums. And then in a second language!!! Just because I'm not one of HIS fans, I am however a massive fan of Canada. I support Canada in this situation 100%. A trade war IS dumb, and even dumber with your closest ally and neighbor. Dumb and Dumber all in one go.... wowzah....so much winning?.

Justin Trudeau is obviously a knowledgeable and communicative leader for Canada. Then we have Trump. ?. I am ashamed to be an American right now.

Can’t wait for Canada to become the 51st state. Keep up the great work President Trump!

Canada doesn't practice fair trade with the US. DJT is fixing it. Get over it, we're tired of being screwed.

Trump is a NARCISSISTIC egotistical bully, liar, racist, sexist, uneducated moron. He is a friend of Russia, interested only in boosting his own sense of importance and greed. Here in the UK he is universally DETESTED. I hope the whole world responds in the same way as Canada.

Canada deserves all the tariffs slapped in it's face for being the loyalest lapdog of the US and for all the crimes it has committed on behalf of the US.

Canada, you taking applications?

If only America had a leader like Canada`s

Fight, fight, fight. The world stands with you Canada, against idiocracy.

This only hurts America, it's like what the Civil War did for the cotton trade, Canada will find other customers...\nSo will Mexico.\nAnd the only economy that will suffer is ours.\nDUMB.

As an American, I stand with Canada.

Trump demands loyalty, but he never is willing to give it. Canada is right to resist his ridiculous tariffs. Stay strong, Canada! Sane, decent Americans are with you!

Good speech. All the best Canada. Britain and Scotland ???????. Are with you.????

Born & raised in California. \nI stand with YOU Canada. This is madness. Pray for Us all

If yall like this shrimp then move to Canada. Theyve been sucking us dry for more than 20 years. Remember George Washington, or isolationism? These aren’t old concepts.

Someone with balls at last. This is what a real country leader looks like. Thank you Canada.

Kevin, the RCMP that blocked Trudeaus investigations. Kevin the fentanyl Czar - to do what? Ensure inventory is high in Canada? Kevin another friend and Trudeau Foundation supporter. YUP! another wasted salary.

I wish the US is a province of Canada ? ??

Germany here. We are with you Canada❤

Trump is American, not Canadian, his job is to make America better, not Canada. No more free rides Canada. Trump is fixing it.

IF YOU THINK THAT SCARES US THEN THINK AGAIN AMERICANS ARE TOUGH WE WILL MAKE IT WITHOUT CANADA, YOU NEED US MORE THAN WE NEED YOU

Canadas value as a country is less than 1/8th of the US . They’re total gdp us just our educational spending . I don’t think it’s smart but I’m not worried

As an American citizen, I stand with Canada.

As an American, thank you Canada for speaking the truth and not hiding and kissing trumps ass. Thank you for your help in mobilizing the American people.

Go Canada. From a US citizen. We have to work together to stop a wannabe dictator.

Dear PM Trudeau. We Americans understand how and why you are doing what you are doing due to the stupid decisions of our dictator musk/trump. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and the EU. God bless all of us as we deal with the aftermath of trump/musks BS decisions.

So it is true that American aren't allowed to do business in Canada? I hear it everywhere and wanted to confirm it.

We lived in Canada for 15 years and we heard a lot how Canada hated us. The facts are Port of Vancouver is mega drug port. Just go to East Hastings

Increase tariffs to 100% on Canada NOW... Show Canada they need us, we really dont need them. Those are Facts

Imagine Canada refusing to be a 51st state and Baby T throwing a 25 billion dollar tantrum.

Go Canada!\nDonald-?

I hope the Prime minister reads these comments. If he doesn't then let others from around Canada read these messages and pass them on to everyone in Canada until it reaches every leader in Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau and all those who lead our provinces. When you come out to talk to all the Canadian, the Americans and all of our allies around the world. Please keep reminding President Trump. That Canada is still not and will never be for sale, no matter what. And don't remind him once. Keep telling him that everything you go on camera. And keep saying it until Trump finally gets it. Greenland you do the same about your country. And you too keep telling him this no matter how it takes. Keep sending him this message even after he gets tired of hearing it. Let us show this low-life criminal what we say and do to him and anyone else who abuse their power and authority.
