Thailand's here and I might be minority in my country to not support Trump. But it's very relief to see decent and reasonable leader who speaks out for his country. I'm totally with Canada ❤

Congratulations, trump. You f’ed us over and our closest allies. Why would you do this? And it shouldn’t be up to Canada to educate our people as to what’s happening. They have done so in the most polite way possible. I’m looking true north and I see Canada. ??

Go Canada ?? GO\n\nCan’t wait to see all those MAGA tears ? \n\nThis is what stupid, racist, misogynistic, ignorant Amerikkkkans voted for\n\nLet the games begin ?

Governor Trudeau and the state of Canada will never learn We Are Not The Same two different economies let the games begin an see who still standing???

Let's see how far canada gets playing this game

Mr Trudeau, first time I’ve seen you give an intelligent speech. But as I see it, you have been bad overall for the country of Canada. Why don’t you accept Donald’s offer to be the 51st state of America? After all, as I understand it, Canada lives off the USA as it is. Why not be a part of something greater?

isnt this perfect timing the federal court makes stricter penalties for the homeless poor and now the us and canada align to increase the burden on the us poor\nwow almost like it has been planned\nno way becas that would be devious\nthat sounds like another conspiracy\nbah humbug\nanother conspiracy\nnothing to see here\nthe govt loves us\ntrudeau loves us\nhe even said as much\nwe should take him at his word\nhe is in love\nlove love love\nwe love you to mr trudeau enjoy your retirement may it be long\n( https://youtu.be/_7xMfIp-irg?si=mWU_OB7pFTNyR1Mf )\nlove love love\nhow sweet the sound

What Trump is doing is collecting money from these tariffs, while at the same time bringing certain industries back to the United States. These tariffs will not be permanent but will remain for a certain period to encourage companies to relocate. He runs his country like a business, he doesn’t care if there are job losses elsewhere.\n\nCanada and Mexico will have to adjust and start becoming less dependent on the United States. It will be difficult for Canada because we are a consumer country, we manufacture almost nothing. TSMC is moving to the U.S., his plan is working, and other companies will follow.\n\nHere in Canada, we import a huge amount of American products. We absolutely need to change our habits, we should not support a country that wants to see us fail.

Hello Canada from Denmark. I am sad to see the unfair way the US is treating your country, and I am sure it will soon come to Europe too. But it will also hurt the Americans, that is for sure. It is sad because many of us have always been pro-America. But it should not be like that anymore, and believe me it will get worse. The Americans have elected a mad man with no scruples to dictate their country and we must find others to do business with instead, because it is too dangerous that America has all that power

Meanwhile East Indians are taking over Canada and the inflation and taxation has gone up and public healthcare is so bad people had to wait a year to see a specialist ! Wtf is this man talkin ! Canada money is down

Lets see how long until Canada taps xD

Many thanks to Trudeau. I just love it, World Democracy Leaders like Trudeau, Macron, Keir Starmer and many more EU leaders will come to the aid of Americans to show just how Corrupt and Deranged Trump is and, he can't threaten or fire them. Trump's actions WILL trigger a unification of EU Countries with Canada and any other country that Trump threatens. Tesla EVs won't be purchased, EU and Canadian Satellites won't be launched by US companies, and you'll see EU and Canadian Defense company R&D funding and sales take-off as new Trade agreements are made between these other countries that Severely hurt the US Economy in numerous ways which, just maybe, some since into the total Nut-Job, Scum-Bag, multi-Felon and Rapist named Donald.

I’m seeing a lot of comments saying ‘just move there,’ which makes no sense and is such a lazy response. Immigration isn’t as simple as packing a bag—there are legal, financial, and logistical hurdles, especially right now. Supporting another country’s stance doesn’t mean you have to leave your own. As an American, I stand with Canada on this.

Trump and Putin are cut from the same cloth - bullies that think by strong arming people, counties they will submit - not anymore the world sees you and is not taking this ? anymore - on a global level we need to show the bullies of the world that we will stand together in eradicating this kind of behaviour for good and let this be a future warning to any leaders who act in the same way Putin and Trump are acting now. Well done Canada ??

I'm a Canadian and I welcome becoming the 51st! I'm sorry for what our communist canada has allowed to pour into your country. Hopefully we can become the 51st without any violence and see some real prosperity. Canada was sold by our prime minister long ago, hopefully yall can buy it back. God bless america!

im from alberta. i support both old school Canada and the USA. i just wont be buying any more products from them..im interested in seeing what Donald does.

You go Canada we love y'all we don't want to see our government either

Has anyone looked at tariffs Canada as been putting on US imports? For example milk gets an over 100% tariff F Canada let’s see how long you can hold out

The fact that this clown thinks we give a sh is hysterical. So it’s ok for Canada to pay 1.3% gdp towards nato while we pay 60% and put ourselves in debt to the tune of one trillion dollars a year TO PROTECT THEM. They tariff us double or triple what we charge them but that’s supposed to be fine. Canada is a government that doesn’t give af about this country or the clueless people in this thread. Don’t believe me just do the research and see what they’ve been charging us all over Europe. Do some research and stop being ignorant about this topic. Canada is 1,3 % of our gdp. We are 60% of theirs. Do the math.

Brilliant speech ...he is good at it ....he sounds so concerned about americans ...and as I see from comments americans are concerned about Canada .....what a wonderful world

I'm a European who has been living in Canada for a while. I want to join the Canadian Army because I can see that some shit is coming, and I am ready to fight for Canada, just as my family fought in the Second World War in Europe.

If I could afford to move from the US to Canada I would move. I am so sick of Trump’s destructive behavior. He’s a very insecure and unhappy person and the only way he can deal with it is by making others miserable. He doesn’t need reasons for implementing new tariffs. He does these things to demonstrate his power, because he’s a class A bully. Canadians, stay strong. We’ll see you this summer when we =action in BC. Your country is clean, safe and the people are so nice.

From Indonesia, honestly I wanna see both leaders of canada and AS once again sit and wisely talk to solve out these issues...you all our idol and role models but what happening now is sadness❤

Blah Blah Blah, you arrested truck drivers and seized their bank accounts because they didn't want the jab. Let's see how long Canada makes it without America. ???? Good luck, Canada. You're going to need it!

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

When are Americans going to see that Trump is Mentally ill, and needs to be replaced/impeach even a kid could have more sense than he does he is using The Fentanyl excuse to get money out of them for free, Canada, well done, I'm with you❤

As a us citizen lets go bitch we will see whos economy can bully who lmfao - canada has a smaller population than Californian and we have companies richer than your entire country, you are going to lose if you dont fall in line.

Trumps using tariffs to get your prime minister to do the right thing \n\nYou guys have forgotten that your prime minister is a dictator and has been using tariffs on the American people for a very long time. It’s only fair that trump does the same to stop this craziness. Do your guys is research and stop believing everything you see the media putting out. Trump is for Canadians. Praying you guys see the truth we love Canada!

We are going to be sorely sad to see Trudea step down from his office as Prime Minister of Canada, as we need great leaders like him to fight for us. We pray that whoever replaces this seat of PM is going to stand firm and keep Canada and the United States united, and I am not refering to us becoming a 51st State.

-DEAR AMERICANS ..., this video is a prime example of why the USA needs to stop depending so much on other countries for so much importing and start investing in building and start manufacturing products again in the US like it used to be and keeping our farmlands IS VERY IMPORTANT also. Now you see the other side to alot of what's going on , it's important for America as a whole. If you don't understand why manufacturing/ farming/ and investing into some independence like other countries is important ....now you know!!! . Yes their are always gonna be trades and we need them also, But USA is like totally relying on other countries for everything!! We have nothing to offer of value anymore as a country or trade!! \n\n Hopefully the leaders in charge work with these trade countries and they come to fair agreements in fairness and the best intrest of Canada and USA .

I am waiting for Canada to be 51 State of USA. I am Canadian Citizen. I don't want to see Jamindersingh Treadau again

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

After seeing Donald Trump cozying up with the Russians. Ronald Reagan started spinning so fast in his grave you could put a generator and get unlimited energy. \n\nCause power cuts may be coming from Canada pretty soon ✌.

Good for Canada the republicans in congress are spineless to stand up to the felon president Trump and are allowing him to be a fascist tyrant. As an American it hurts to see how Trump treats allies and how he embraces enemies like Putin, North Korea and others. As painful as it will be I hope the free world does what the Republicans are scared to do and that is stand up to Trump and put him in his place!

Thank you everybody who is not Canadian that is supporting Canada. You really see us thank you.

Of all the tariffs Canada imposes, Canadians will never see a dime of it and our deficit, will never decrease. Trudeau is the cause for all the taxes and crimes here in Canada. He is a moron and money wasting child.

Money talks, shit walks. We shall see about Canada and the whole of Europe.

Trudeau in the first 10 seconds already opens with a lie. Trump never said he’s going to “appease” Putin. He is (and I note I don’t see Canada getting involved) negotiating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. That means both sides are going to want something out of that deal in order to sign it. But I’m not surprised with Trudeau deliberately spouting disinformation, it’s a national sport for him.

Why Canada?\nI can see Mexico but Canada.\nNO. NO, NO, NOT CANADA

Canada is in trouble. Joining with the US would help both countries. Detroit would benefit from Canadians moving there, as would other US cities along the border. Canadians would get a place to live, and the US cities would be cleaned up and made livable again. Canada is suffering from too many people with few skills. The US foundry area hasn't recovered. If Trudea and Canada could see it, joining with the US would benefit them, and the US.

Okay okay Mr. Prime Minister Trudeau, you have got my respect back as I see where your loyalty lays and that is with Canada. Well done sir and well articulated. I have never been so disgusted in a leader as I am with Trump and his people including his goofball sidekick.

Good bye America ! Canada wants nothing from you . Sad to see friends split up , ???????Thank you Trumpy!

Canada speaks tough , but a shame seeing neighbours fighting each other

i am surprised to see so many canadian idiots still endorsing this clown. Trump imposes tariff today for a reason -- this clown simply has inherently different philosophy and that is the reason Canada is punished today. Set aside right or wrong from the US side, a truly responsible leader should mitigate damage instead of soliciting them, and seek ways out instead of putting oil on fire.

lol to those seeing Trudeau speak for the first time and coming to the conclusion that because he’s easy on the eyes, and is articulate that he is somehow competent. Dude just resigned as leader of his party and has driven Canada into the ground.

I live in Washington State and I’ve stopped seeing “Beautiful British Columbia” license plates almost completely. Canada is not fucking around and I stand with them. They have been the best neighbors ever. ??❤️???

From Canada, and reading the comments is truly heartfelt. Trudeau gets a pretty polarizing reputation in our country, but to know the world sees him as more reputable and more of a leader makes me proud to be Canadian and to stay positive in these chaotic times. Thank you

Well said. I love the USA, I have relatives who live there and in all the years of a beautiful relationship with the people of America I have never seen this situation. Mr. Trump you seem to want to conquer and divide relationships at any cost, even with people who care about you. You sabotage yourself and those who are loyal to you. I'm not sure if you understand the implications of your decisions. But I will say respectfully, there are no winners in a trade war, nor is it you that has the final say on the worlds outcome. This is God's world not yours and not ours. I'm really disappointed to see American people and Canadians hurting because of whatever the point of all of this means. But Canada is strong and we will stand up for our country. The American people are strong and they were strong before you became the President. Working together, we can take care of each other for our families and our country.

To all Canadian's, I did not vote for him and tried to convince others of how bad his was, but here we are. I love Canada. I have been to Canada several times and the people have been so warm and welcoming. It is beyond sad to see this happening. He's a traitor and I don't understand why someone can't arrest him and his gang of thugs. Trust me there are a lot of people here who do not want this. I'm a 71 yr. old with lots of medical issues. I wish I could have done more to stop this. I've always wanted to see Banff. Hopefully, one day I will be welcomed back.

All these comments….”Oh we stand with you Canada”. We don’t want you stand with us, fix your fucking problem America and stand up to your supposed representative Trump.\nHe is going to screw you too, wait and see.\nWhat has he done for America so far?\nO yeah, rename the Gulf of Mexico, that’s changed peoples lives for the better.\nWhat a joke.
