Agree with everything- thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤️??\nOne thing - Can we please call the appointed Fentanyl person anything else? “Tzar” has an awfully Russian connotation.

Ummm just an outside the country thought! You guys are really underplaying the putin/trump thing! You're all like.... well, Trump ADHD oompa loompa might be getting played! Seriously you guys are not thinking big enough! You could absolutely guarantee Putin has ? on Trump! Why else has Trump done a 360! Now someone go find out what he has on Trump so the rest of the world can stop watching the worlds slowest car wreck in real time! \n Signing off from the other side of the world ??‍♀️

Trump is full of shit. Fentanyl? What else is going on here.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

All of a sudden Trudeau is talking Tuff. He put Canadians in this predicament since he has been in office with his shitty policies and how he handled covid and lack of energy investments like fuel and gas. Focusing on wind mill power, carbon tax and God knows what else.

Canadians are recognized for their politeness and respect. They prioritize righteousness above all else. God bless PM Trudeau, God bless Canada!

That's a President with a plan and facts. Nothing else to say.

It's absolutely unfathomable that things have been allowed to escalate to this point. It is obvious that our country is being taken over by Russian agents in the WH. How else can you be so tone deaf to what this stupid tarrif position is going to do to our economy, unemployment people that are not wealthy. These rich people absolutely do not care about us regular people. Our forefathers would be livid to see what has become of our country. MAGAs have been duped with so many lies and exaggerations that have been generated by Russia into the social media consciousness that they have paved the way for a total take over designated to ruin our country. It's happening, and people are so duped ...... it's like a bad movie.

Tariffs or no tariffs, I won't be buying anything from the USA, or visiting the USA, or investing in American companies, even after Donald is gone. Because the people who elected him will still be there, and they're pretty sure they can take care of themselves without anyone else's help.

Donald Trump clames he is a business man ,but his businesses always seem to fail.Yet he comes out Scott free.Perhsps this is why he does not understand how mutually beneficial trade is.Trade barriers have not worked in the past.But everyone else is stupid for not applying them,apparently.

The issue is trump is a sociopath. He will never do what us right for the USA or anyone else..it's why no one can negotiate with him. But also how he has become Russias greatest assest in the history of the USA, the actual president. He will toss all of the USA under the bus

I’m an Indigenous American here, I say if Canada was really our friend then they would understand that they have been taking advantage of our countries kindness for too long and it’s time they step up.. If us trying to do something good for our own country for one time instead of everybody else and it’s a problem like this then maybe we weren’t friends anyway.. That means u were only friendly bc u were taking advantage.. \nPlenty of other countries has decided to pick up their own slack and it’s time Canada and America and the other countries start focusing more on their own citizens.. \nThis man is ready to send Canadian soldiers to die in Ukraine right now for something that has nothing to do with them and now instead of negotiating an agreement it’s all about relation and hurting your own people to get back at others over something you took personally..\nI always liked Trudeau but if that’s how he feels about our country then that’s how we feel about his.. \nwe don’t care about Canada anymore except justing Bieber and Linus media group.. everyone else can go lol..

we don't need Canada we can grow and make our own fertilizer half the goods u sell we can get some where else or make better so keep throwing ur empty threats

American here but I stand with Canada and Ukraine! Many people here are not okay with what our country is doing to us and everyone else.

All you traders pack up and you have 5 days to leave this country or else

I rarely speak...yet I should have been there before this happened and voted in the favor of Justin Trudeau. Shocked by fellow people claiming his behavior. But I see he stepped out on his own to own it. I'm a very proud Scientologist and believe in you. I believe in Mr Hubbard yet no one has seen the world to freedom as Trudeau is. All else are speculation and worry of doubt and incapable abilities that help no one. Huh.

Please know the majority of us Americans don’t agree with not only tariffs but everything else that has been pushed on us by this regime. Nor do we want anything to do with Russia.

Canadian here. Buying Canadian first, Mexico and Commonwealth second, anyone else third. Not buying American anything until Trump is out of office. Bye. ??

Of course, none of this has anything to do with fentanyl. He could care less about people dying, from fentanyl or from anything else. The man simply doesn’t care about anyone but himself.

All countries from this point forward should quit trading with the US in any way whatsoever let them survive on their own let them come up with their own chips let them come up with their own minerals let them come up with everything everybody else deal and trade with one another around the world and just let the states rot

He is ridiculous! Instead saying something else!!! ?

Does anyone else want to know why trump kissing Putin behind so much.... Any Suggestions?

This trump dickweed is out of control, creating a authoritarian attitude and hes slowly tearing shit apart so we as citizens, have no choices, no education...anybody else feeling hopeless and helpless. This is beyond sick. Trudeau and Canada, hes a dumb guy. He is. I'm so sorry to the Candians, Mexico, and Ukraine. This idiot has no loyalty to anyone.

hadn't Trudeau resigned? have they not found someone else?

For the love of all that's holy -- it's NOT hard to see that THIS is what Trump wants -- to be allied with Putin. He only does what strokes his ego and his ego WANTS TO ALLY WITH PUTIN. The sooner everyone else accepts that, the sooner we will be allied internally against this dire threat.

Tbh instead of working on what he need to he talking shit about everything else like Russia ?

I find it hilarious that the USA has a massive Fentanyl problem. Not Mexico, Canada, or Europe. USA only problem. Yet the solution needs to come from everybody else, except the USA

Do not say United States! It is only the most dumbest person in American history and his maga retards that want this tariff war. Please only turn off their electric in the Red states not the Blue states. F The Orange Stain and his Magatards. Who else loved, “ Donald”. The disrespect that implies is fantastic!

Meanwhile the US Healthcare Industry creates more fentanyl addicts DAILY than even any cartel can satisfy. America benefits from all the laundered money these cartels have. But everyone else is the problem.

Anti-Americanism? It's a reaction to direct aggression and threats from your president. Nothing else.

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

We live in America /hate America and would rather be somewhere else..preferably Scotland.I wish that this guy was our President.

Us Aussies stand with Canada Mexico and anyone else the ??? show is going after.

Canada should put another 10% on energy exports to US.... Actually, put export taxes on every product that US needs and cannot immediately find somewhere else.

The US isn't launching a trade war against anyone. We are closing up shop and are getting ready to take care of our own. There is a massive difference. We cannot be expected to continue supporting other countries economies and defense obligations, when we have 2 generations of working class citizens unable to afford a home or have children. We have entire countries we could fill with the homeless and incarcerated, and veterans who see little to no positive treatment or respect within the job market. Things are already very very bad here in the states. I don't think many Americans realize how bad the economy is. Tariffs will force US companies to reduce the outsourcing of jobs, and force other countries who are over-reliant on trade from the States, to cultivate their own self-sufficiency. This may seem hypocritical when it comes to China, but that isn't a problem you can solve overnight. \n\nTo make it clear, Americans are going to suffer in the wake of this tariff decision, but that is the price we pay to force ourselves to change. We have made ourselves into a very weak country because of overreliance on other countries trade, and other countries overreliance on our intelligence, infrastructure, medical advancements, technological advancements, and defense capabilities. The american consumer and taxpayer front the bills for all of this, and they are suffering. This isn't a war on the rest of the world. It us telling everyone else that we can no longer be relied upon because we are weak. \n\nI didnt' even vote Trump the first two times he ran. But things have now gotten so bad that I was forced into voting for him this time. Why? Because he's a bull in a china shop. I expect him to tear every damn thing apart he can within our government. I want everything destroyed so it can be rebuilt by people who aren't complacent.

Outstanding. 50% of America is horrified and embarrassed by the chaos coming out of the White House every day, and a good share of the other 50% knows this and much else is wrong but is too afraid or ashamed to admit it.

Unfortunately you have a real estate developer running the USA, so Greenland can be purchased, Gaza can become a riviera, Gulf of Mexico can be renamed, Ukraine can be arm twisted into handing over its minerals and Canada can become the 51st state so that it can be plundered of all its land and resources. Donald thinks he is intelligent and everyone else is stupid.

Trump is an ignorant fool. He has no idea how tariffs or anything else works! Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau.

Canada doesn't sell fent. They just sell EVERY ingredient to make it from China, play that crap somewhere else I see you!!!

This dude is married to a man, froze bank accounts of people who simply voted for someone else. He also took guns away and won't just step down and disappear. \nSo yea..... He's the last one to listen too lol ??? \nThe USA would crush him.

I am a US citizen and I'm proud of you Canada ??. I didn't vote for the idiot in the WH and neither did none of my friends and family. This move by the current POTUS is more like orders he got from somewhere else ??. He's to stupid to think of anything himself and he doesn't read anything unless someone tells him.

I am so sorry that our country elected an idiot as President. A President who puts himself and the selfish interests of billionaires ahead and above everyone else. Trump is a liar, a cheater and in no way whatsoever Presidential material. He is a clown and everyone who bows to kiss the ring is a traitor to this country! Country before party! Sorry to all Canadians for this idiotic decision.

If russia learned about radiological effects on minerals and metals from Russia, I think they would see how it structurally changes it's genetic compound or atomic structure. I think they would even be able to develop radiation lasers used to change it molecularly. Adding missing ingredients, they could turn lead or iron into gold or something else. Since radiation is just heat.

If nothing else Trudeau is a true statesman and clearly articulated fact checking very unlike the POTUS who ridicules this notion as unnecessary!

America - your fentanyl usage is YOUR problem. Lousy cover up for a something else.

Anyone else like Justin Trudeau better lately ?

This also time to boycotte US $ as international currency. May be € to be replaced. \nMust remove all UN head offices to somewhere else. \nBoycotte , isolate , ostracized this lunatic psycopath gangster erratic leader of US.\n\nCanada , Europe, Mexico, Japan and S.Korea to built as soonest as possible Nuclear Reactor and bmbs. etc. \nBecause you cannot trust from this untrustworthy, mentally imbalanced leader from US.

More fentanyl comes from china than anywhere else

We like the Candian PEOPLE, NOT LEADERS. WE KNOW YOU ARE ALL SELLOUT LOSERS COMMITTING TREASON, ITS THE PEOPLES TIME ONCE AGAIN, OR ELSE.....

All those comments praising justin’s speaking…..u do realize this is a former drama teacher doing a bad drama and reading a script someone else wrote? This guy systematically drowned the economy and pushed left wing ideology at the cost of everything. Trump is overreacting but Justin’s acting to get a image makeover here. Canadians dont like tariffs imposed but understand that Justin’s idiocracy is also to blame.
