As Canadian, I agree to retaliate the tariffs. Why, because The American leader cannot be trusted and even if we do what they expect they want more and more, same as PUTIN.

Idiot! Jow about being reciprocal and pay is back Canada! Fair is fair! Yiu are a child expecting the US to pay the bill for you

What did you expect? Trump is dumb.

We completely understand and expect you to protect and defend Canada and Canadians. I would have been disappointed if Canada didn’t respond. It is our responsibility as Americans to respond to this ridiculous administration and the lame congress of scared politicians and sycophants.

The trolls are magas are out in full force, as expected. Ignore them.

As a Canadian I stand with the US. These are the same people that told us patriotism is bad and taught the country self loathing and now expect us to be patriotic. No, I feel nothing for Canada and I hope this country collapses. Trump exposed my nation and I’m glad.

Figured out Trumps anti-migrant policy. Hes expecting world war 3 and doesnt want refuges coming to USA. when he closes mineral deal USA can be sustainable on its own and world war 3 will start

OMG, what the hell is Trump doing. Even if Trump is right about everything, how many enemies can he make at the same time and expect the best outcome for his country. So bad.

What do you expect from a delusional dimwitted old man who is a pathological liar Trump we are in for a terrible time in America

THIS is what I expected from US government - federal and state! Excellent points made by Trudeau, and his restraint is incredible given the abject tone used toward Canadians!

The tariff are because of you don't you get it?. Get out of our lives and we will be better otherwise don't expect miracles.

America does not fear you. We have no dependence on Canada beyond the expectation that it secures its border and refrains from exploiting the United States.

We are less than two months into DJT's term, and I have to say it's turning out much worse than I expected (and I thought it would be pretty bad). It is terribly depressing to see the country fail while roughly half of it's people cheer it on. We're seeing the fall of the US in real-time, and I'm not sure how we come back from this. I'm exhausted, and we're just getting started.

Funny telling - because harshly words always using Trump and what you USA expect , because ‘this message was very much polite and professional sent to Americans. Trump not knowing to speak with diplomacy and respect for others !

Wrong move Pinocchio, how do you expect Trump will remove the tariff now?

If I really want to make sense of all this non sense, in this 'alternative truth world', I will say that, in fact, Trump is surprisingly the best advocate for sustainable development! Because, if the tariffs have the expected consequences, trade between both your countries will decrease, meaning less trucks on the roads, meaning less fossiles fuels, less production, less consumption, meaning less emissions of CO2. Is it what Trump really wants?

No, they just want to even the playing field. YOU can't criticize a person who's a dictator, and expect them to cooperate. Send your young men to Ukraine.

I KNOW Canada was expecting this because frump first attacked frump's own nation...and the areas close to the Capitol. As he plays golf. I don't think he cares....when one gets older, they stop tryna negotiate and just start being who they truly are...in this case, a NARCISSIST LYING FELON who doesn't realize that when one goes to HeIl, stop, drop & roll doesn't work cuz you didn't know Jesus.

The idiot dRump is too stupid to understand any of this. He's a schoolyard bully who expects others to back down. Good for Canada and other other countries that stand up to him. He's a danger to the US. When the heck are congress and the courts going to stop him? They are responsible for creating this dictator!

Trudeau was never ever seen as a smart man. It is a mockery for a fool to call a genius dumb. Aka: Same as AOC calling Elon Musk not smart. AOC's brain cells could barely count to 100. \nBut honestly, this fool Trudeau who is resigning because in the end he proved worthless and like a little lap dog had to snap at President Trump as he is ready to be ousted because he, himself knows that in today's world he is totally incompetent. \nMost true Americans know President Trump is right. And though we disagree on making Canada our 51st state, because we prefer to have it as our personal Democrat reject dump site.\nThe Stock Market downfall you can rest assured are more of the Democrats boycotting America which we have always known to back stab America every chance they get. Democrats have always been Americas traitors, and we wouldn't expect any different from them now.

What did you expect from a convicted felon rapist Russian puppet crook ?‍♂️

I love how it used to be “president trump” or “Mr president” but now it is “Donald”?? very subtle but very powerful. Show us no respect and expect none in return #canadastrong

CNN journalist qualifying Trudeau’s words as Harsh…. Was she on vacation when Trump spoke to Zelenskyy? “It’s hard to believe what’s happening” !!!! You voted the idiot in, what did you expect???????? CNN Stop normalising Trump!

I expected this BS from him. Long speeches full of lies because he's a Democrat.

Don’t tariff America. As a Canadian two wrongs don’t make it right. Get the energy out. Triple our global output. Our autoworkers need jobs well let’s build Trudeau. Talk and winning. Global energy. Let BYD in with out tariffs. We don’t have an auto sector anymore. ? BYD and get over it ( the eagles ?). Trump is correct at our lack of defence. Maybe this will help. The only way to scourge out of fentanyl is a clean source and less social stigmatization of the sick. Don’t expect a smart man like trump to figure that out.

Trump isn't harmed by this. He's pocketing all the $$$ from his tarrifs. Fun fact: Trump bankrupted several of his casinos. How do you manage to bankrupt a casino... Maybe by pocketing all the $$$ in it until theres not enough to even run it??? What do you expect from convicted felon as president LOL.

As expected Trump is pressing the self destruction button. Americans wake up , before it's too late.

What did you Americans who voted for a Felon & Elon expect!? The Bible says, “You will reap what you sow!”

What is going to happen with NORAD? I am Canadian and I would have never expected such nonsense coming from an American president! I truly believe that Trump wants a third world war because he thinks it would help his country’s economy. He is definitely the worst president of the USA ever!

When the willfully stupid vote stupid, we get stupid in charge. Everyone suffers the consequences along with the stupid. What else would we expect?

Expect the expected from those who do not have a peaceful mind, from nightmares to a doomed president.

Trump is invincible he is about to jump from King to God, see how he treated good Zel? expect the same because we, the world must bow to his will and pray not to be his next target, are you hearing God? You are about to be replaced by Trump!! ( i hope a lightning stikes him or else God is also his byatchh)

Most likely Mr Trump will just double down and add more tariffs, or maybe even start doing military “exercises” at the border!!! Expect anything!

Never expected the spineless trueadeu to standup to Trump. Hats off.

Trudeau was so successful as PM of Canada, that the Canadian ppl voted him out.. and now I'm expected to believe that he has Americas interests at heart? sounds like he is pleading his case so they don't lose their biggest consumer/investor... he sounds like a child trying to convince his parents that he should be allowed to have their friends spend the night.

When you commit genocide, how could you expect decent?

Why is it that everyone outside of America has an expectation on how we should be that benefits them. This can has been kicked down the road for multiple decades. The waste, fraud, and abuse we are uncovering in the government. The situation with NATO and Ukraine and no one can fix their problems or issues without the US. We have aggressive homelessness, poverty, poor education system, high taxes, and a government that in the past has done nothing but pimp our tax dollars out just for kickbacks. Everyone is pissing and moaning about our domestic problems while also having an extremely high bar on the international stage. I have never received aid from the UN, never receive money from other countries, nor assistance. Is no one in America tired of this? Here we are talking about Bourbon tax….lol. A great reset needs to happen and though I do not like it, it is happening and I am here for it. BTW I love Canada and Mexico and believe at best that if we pull out of NATO I would still hope we can have an Americas/Mexico treaty.

I support Trump and much of what he is doing, but I do agree Canada has done well enough to the point these tariffs should not have gone through. I was fully expecting this not to go through or at the very least be much smaller.

Canadians love 3 things: maple syrup, saying sorry and war. Yes. Canadian actions during both world wars... let's just say that the bottle up anger and release it in these events. You can expect no Canadian buying US made products if possible

My apologies to Canada and Mexico for what our Orange Idiot does. He is clearly a Russian asset. Putin is called the shots for his stupid pet. Expect Trump to continue to align himself with Belarus, North Korea and all the African Dictators that are Putin stuges

Senate Majority Leader John Thune reacted to the imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China by saying “nothing happens in a vacuum” and he expects there will be “reactions” to President Donald Trump’s move. \n \nMeanwhile, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso refused to answer on whether he thought the tariffs would hurt American consumers. He said people should not be surprised by Trump’s decisions because he ran on them.

Canada is a sovereign country, not a US state. Fix your thumbnail. I expected better from an Australian.

why do econimists think infinite growth must be a thing in a finite country? economy stagnation is only a problem when you expect it to grow to infinity wich is obviously redicolous. \nf.e. shrinking/stagnating economies wont be able to keep up with Government bonds. you cant pay out interest charges if you didnt make more money then last year. what if everyone is working 40h with perfect efficiency? you brake the system.

And what about Israelis?! When Palestinians harbor such vile wishes towards Israelis, when they celebrate violence towards Israeli civilians, what exactly do Gazans expect?!?!

West keeps making refugees and expecting Muslims countries to clean their mess . stop destroying other countries so you don’t have to bring refugees in your country . Stop the war .

Wait, why would Canada control border security for the US? Shouldn't American Border Patrol and ICE control America's own borders? At the 3:24 point, are you implying that Canada should control the border for the US? I don't think Canada expects - or even wants - the US to run its borders, but you think Canada should?

69% of all bankruptcies in the US are due to the cost of healthcare, and the inability of the average person to pay for the healthcare they require. This in the country where the US government spends more than twice as much per capita as the Canadian government. Also as one of the richest countries in the world, it has the highest infant and childbirth mortality rates and lowest age expectancies…. But this is the best place-to live??? REALLY??

She’s East African like me! Focusing on the situation, this is disheartening. Not only is she the type to play victim, but clearly you can tell that landlord is patient and reasonable. Hate when honest or good people get screwed. Happened to me more times than I ever woulda expected. Sad thing is that even with eviction, he may not get back all the money he was owed.

What did you expect?
