As a western Canadian- hows it feel Justin- thats how you have treated us for 9 years. Bend over Ontario and Quebec, I kinda think it looks good on you. If we had our parliament in this probably would have been avoided, but thanks to the Liberals our Premiers have had to do the work.

I like what Trump is doing, this is the wests chance to put separation between us and America, American corporations cannot treat people in Europe like they do in the US, Americans food is filled with rubbish banned in most of the west, respect to Americans but your corporations are terrible to people.

The trouble is, that none of the issues Dumpsterfire has brought up on the root cause or intent for his useless dangerous and destructive tariffs, aee actually relevant to the imposition of a terrorist. He is just a two-year-old and an old man's body, throwing a temper tension, because Canada told him where to go and we drew him a map to get him there faster. We refused at fifty first state proposal and treated it as the threat that it is. When he imposed tariffs, Canada slapped him back. TWICE. He might think of himself as the most powerful man on the planet but in reality he is, as the rest of the world, even Russia sees, the most pitiful man on the planet

Insane we did this to our closest ally. Canada has had our back in every major war going back 100+ years and we treat them this way..Truly appalling

Unfortunately American people don’t understand that, because most of them are uneducated and don’t understand how wars are stopped and how allies are treated…

From a German once living a year in Canada: If you make a Canadian that angry you really messed it up. I couldn't imagine of any better ally to have. You deserve to be treated so much better and such behavior comes from a person shouting for more respect at others. All my love to your beautiful country.

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

Trump is a Russian asset, traitor, and felon. Everyone should be treating this as a hostile takeover and the Trump administration as illegitimate. It is unconstitutional for him to be president under the 14th amendment even if SCOTUS refuses to uphold the constitution. Stop this administrstion at EVERY point. Block everything.

I Stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine! I understand that you have to do what you have to do! I'm sorry this orange ? is causing division, drama and chaos. He's not of God.\n\nNarcissists isolate their victims. He is treating America like one of his victims. Wake up people.

Every body treats mr Justin lightly just because he is polite ❤❤

It's pretty sad how the modern left is so easily fooled by smooth speech. Trudeau is a puppet. Just look at how he treated the Canadian truckers

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)

PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU - WHAT A REAL LEADER LOOKS LIKE. The big difference between Canada and the US is that the Canadian gov will be there to support it's people during this time and our White House will do NOTHING to help Americans -as a matter of fact they will treat us worse. TRUMP DID THIS - TRUMP HAS TO GO - before we lose everything we have worked for for over 200 years!!!

No one forgets how you treated the truckers during covid and tried to suppress free speech. Canadians should be embarrassed having a puppet like you representing them.

It is too bad. But war is declared against à thug à convicted felon and rapist. See the elegance of Trudeau amidst these hardtimes. We just won't be treated like a rug you walk on. Too bad for the American People. We will never ever do business with you whatever the government may be. It is over with US once and for all.

Trump is a treat from world stability. American people, especially Democrats should demonstrate ad do pressure. It is awful and disgusting to see the US getting along with Russia and despite its historic European allies and nice Canadian neighbors.

Canada can do what it wants , just as the US can ! The US needs to be treated fairly by all ! This includes Canada !

Hey America, don’t get him wrong. He’s an idiot and he’s been destroying everything he touched all along, he’s taxed the shit out of us, treats us like disposable slaves, stolen all kinds of money, he’s a piece of shit. You lie, you lie, you lie.

Stop acting surprised by Trump's actions and treat him as the Russian asset traitor he is. Impeachment does not work, stronger action is needed to save our nation.

Dear Canada. Please build a Wall. The US should be treated like the 3rd World Country leadership is acting like. Sincerely a True Patriotic American.

Your relationships with others do not actually depend on how well you treat them but rather on your strength and the leverage you hold. People tend to be more tolerant of the strong, while even if the weak do nothing wrong, they may still be mistreated. Even if you endure everything in silence, it is often seen as a cheap attempt to please others.

Anyone who ever was a victim of bullying understands exactly what is going on and how it will end for those who wants to appease/bend to the bully. Yes, it will be painful for Canada, extremely. But you have to get really sick in order to recover stronger than ever before. Zelensky knew the inner workings of how bullies work so he probably knew the white house meeting won't end cordially especially it is occupied by people he has no love for and he understood the lack of love was mutual. I think he'd bent over and wagged his tail if he thought that'd help his nation but knowing that will not get his country anywhere anyways, why would he bend over and try to please someone who was determined to screw him and his country to begin with. Zelensky saw how Canadian prime minister was treated and how he tried to please Mr. T yet to no avail. Yes, Zelensky has no real good, readily available cards to play. If the game is rigged, no reason to play by your rule, is there?

Can i please come live in Canada. I am embarrassed to be american after how he treated zelensky and kissing putins butt. I will move in a heart beat.

Terrible how our Country America treating Canada and Mexico always been there from disasters to military in past wars. Stand up everyone there no winners! Cost of living, loss jobs and small businesses gone. But the rich will be fine but we are the ones that suffer. So messed up.

Woke Leftist totalitarian lying Trudeau. America does not care your treats! Just try to make Canada great again and resign!! ?

As a U.S. Army veteran who proudly served this country, my love for America and unwavering respect for the Constitution drive me to speak out. What Trump did in that meeting with Zelensky wasn’t strength, it was weakness disguised as tough talk. Pressuring Ukraine to negotiate from a position of desperation only empowers Russia and signals to the world that U.S. commitments mean nothing.\n\nTrue leadership isn’t about catering to dictators or throwing allies under the bus. It’s about standing firm for democracy, national security, and the principles this country was built on. If we let billionaires and politicians treat global conflicts like a business deal, we’re betraying everything generations of Americans fought and died for. I won’t stay silent while our country’s integrity is sold off for personal gain. America deserves better.

As for “America’s presumptive 51st State” in the intro, as a Canadian, please don’t normalise talking about us as the 51st State, even in jest. We are a sovereign nation, and after seeing the utter disrespect with which Trump and Vance treated President Zelenskyy recently, we have to keep our elbows up ! Otherwise, solid economic analysis of the current situation here in Canada. Merci !

All joking aside, Canada has been able to form a symbiotic relationship of mutual benefit with the United States since even before NAFTA 1. But.......... right now it is almost like a 51st state and I do not mean that in a joking way. US states are always competing with each other, but what prevents things like, oh say the American Civil war from happening is the Federal apparatus keeps them in line for the good of the empire as a whole. \n\n If Canada is like a 51st state, then it is competing with the other 50 states in a way that all 50 of them are going to get upset about. So either the states complain, or you treat Canada as an economic competitor. Mexico being behind the United States and Canada is what makes it a good candidate for a symbiotic relationship. For all its problems, Mexico has a Christian population (with some indigenous traits) that goes well with America. Their nations different economic status means we can support them and they can support us doing different things for countries of different development stages.\n\nCanada being so similar to the United States will want that as well and will never outbid the United States. Again this is seen as a hostile economic competitor. \n\nIts not Canada or Americas fault. After 2007 and the lies about fanny and Freddie, leman bros, mortgage backed security's, and a cash shortage that was not real. How was it real if the offshore exchanges did nothing? 2007 was not financial in origin it was our global monetary system seizing up. To say Wall Street greed and MBSs did it would be like saying a single drop of cement turned the ocean to cement.\n\nBut something did. Something turned the market from liquid to concrete, it happened in France decades before......\nFinancially packaged items could no longer be priced or traded.

Who thought treating real estate an investment asset wouldn't lead to any problems at all?\nAs an Alberta, canada's economic decline is absolutely disheartening and sad.\nI wish for annexation by the US.\n-Proud Albertan, reluctant canadian.

Boomers in Canada are very nimby thus making housing so much harder to build, leading to younger generations emigrating to other countries like south of the border. Also eating up lands zoned to industrial, and thus making industrial rent more expensive to the remaining patches of land available on city outskirts. \n\nMaybe it’s time to review the policies overall. Canada has been treating its older generations like kings, with their large lawns and healthcare which they frequently use…while younger generations and immigrants work like a slave.

Kudus to you for trying to report as factual as possible. Im also an immigrant (45 years ago). I have long since been assimilated and consider myself as Canadian as anyone. I don't defend or condone your arguments as many of them are spot on but what i do have to say is we as humans are grossly flawed and i don't see improvement only decline. However there is still good left in this world. I believe we should treat each other with respect and judge on an individual basis as opposed to stereotyping. I still deal with stereotyping every day of my life. The real issue is not race it is cultural or rather the unwillingness to assimilate.

This is disgusting. You don’t treat your delivery person like that. Cannot believe this happened in Canada. The guy kept his patience very nicely, I mean anyone could have cursed back right ?

My brother is disabled and he is still waiting 200 days for any disability checks. he worked 40 years and treated like crap.

Next time we practice athiti devo bhava, remember this is what how we are treated overseas....

This aint how canadians treat foriegners, sure there are ones out there who are scamming, but people who are working like this, a dilvery man who's out there working to get by unlike this memphisica.

You know what? Trump needs to announce to the entire world that the US will not rescue nor medically treat anyone of any age trying to enter illegally no matter what happens to them.

I understand the immigration problem Canada is currently facing but man this is no way to treat any human being, a Russian, Italian, American, Nigerian, Mexican, etc. no one deserves that kind of disrespect. Big props to him for keeping his cool and not letting it ruin his night.

most important question how the mentally ill treated in Islamic countries ?

I am fed up with such news of illegal Immigrants from India. Also not able to understand why the fuck they are leaving country when they are treated as downgraded citizens and have to work under wages. People who are coming legally are not getting jobs and fed up with the inflation and planning to go back. ?

Why is Canada allowing illegal immigrants to enter their country without a passport? This is so unneighberly of Canada to treat us so badly for so many years when we have been so generous to them for so long.

Of course, too many 'student' visas were handed out to non-students or fake students, and certain Indians started treating the whole thing as a scam.

Indians\n...\n\nDo not bother coming here. In fact BOYCOTT Canada till they treat Indians like regular people.

Inuit? Cree? Ojibway? Any of these names sound familiar? These are the original inhabitants of Canada. People have been migrating since time immemorial for one reason or another. Instead of resentment against newer migrants start treating them with respect and empathy. Your forefathers were in the same boat as these Indians not that long ago in the scheme of things. Lighten up already.

They do not deserve to be treated like this! Just look at the pain on his face! But he’s still facing that shit with decency ?

NYC deserves what it gets. you voted for trash , so they treated you as trash

...cut all federal funds to new york, they wanna act like their not part of the USA we'll treat em like it.

Cash, I just pray for you, and your little family! I don’t see how you continue to live in that city! I would lose my mind there. It’s just awful how the government of NY treats their ppl! Please, stay safe!

Canada and Mexico are NOT our friends. We should not treat them as such.

trudeau should be treated as a cartel member,, the posh motels should replicate the Decon-Roach motel--you can come in,, but you can't leave--and Hochel should be tried for treason and receive the appropriate punishment for high treason
