OH CANADA! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of YOU and your Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Do NOT let Donald Trump ruin your way of life. It has been pristine for way too long. Hang in there, stay strong, we Americans are behind you. I am so ashamed of the people that put Agent Orange and his hillbilly in charge. We will fight, make no mistake, we will fight for the real America and for you too. I was born in Deep River, Ontario in 1954. My original family originates in Miramichi (formally New Castle), New Brunswick. I still own 45 hectares in Miramichi. I was brought here by my parents. They would be so ashamed. I think it is time I came back home. ♥️☘️

Trudeau did exactly the right thing he stood up to the bullying and intimidation of the President/crime boss.Trump single handidly is making the world a less safe place.

Mr. Trudeau, Don’t believe it’s anything that Canada has done. Most of Trump’s actions don’t make sense. But don’t expect him to ever get better. He is mentally unstable as any clinical psychologist can see.

Let’s make sure we all understand, it’s not America, it’s Trump and his regime

Trudeau screwed up canada. \nHe created the dire economic situation in Canada and Trump noticed this situation and is trying to make this situation as an opportunity for his government.\nTrudueau, as usual , is trying to push the blame on to Trump's administration.\nTrudeau has F** ed up! Period.

It makes no sense! We should not be soft on Russia!

The worst thing trump ever did was make Trudeau into a hero.

I'm bout to jump on to Civ 6. All this tension between the world leaders making me wanna take on the world ?

When Canada makes the US look like the immature, dangerous, foolish country that we are. What an absolute embarrassment….

Idk how people can follow this guy. They call it a trade war but in reality it's just making the playing field even again. The USA is the 3rd biggest consumer and we don't tax them as much as they tax us.

You will really need to Make America Great, AGAIN - after this orange idiot leaves the office ?‍♂️

well dumb donny doing it again a guy that's no idea about business and politics making america the great asshole again and the republicans following him because they are owned by putin and comrade elon maga complained about all sorts of things are now finding out that what they complained about is themselves

Trump got a plan don’t you worry this guy here is trying to make you feel bad but he has been cheating us

You need USA. We don't need you. We have been taken advantage of long enough. Why did it take for Trump to tell you to make provisions against Fentanyl to actually implement it?

We are going to make sure that you can sell the absolute minimum to Canada. We have reliable trade partners, reliable options. You have none. Good luck with Russia. Do you really think Putin will trust you?

trudeau isnt canadas pm, he has been asked to step down, he resigned, his party doesn't want him, the people do not want him, he has actively put a stop on government while he runs around making promises or threats he cannot or does not have the mandate to do so... why doesn't the media mention this.... sign a canadaian

FROM ARGENTINA I support Trump on this!!! The USA should balance goods trade and blow up deficit! Milei in Argentina has eliminated deficit for the first time after 123 years in Argentina's history, making economy and investment start growing. Mexico and Canada are taking advantage, Go Trump!!!

It all makes sense. Everything that doesnt make sense does make sense if you look at it from the point that Trump is a puppet of Putin.\n\nThen everything, from Ukraine to whacking friends, to underming his own people, starts to make all the sense in the world.

He's all about fighting for Canada but he won't take the make believe carbon tax off stand up for your people mister

I dont know. Twice , Ive met Canadians down here in the states. And right off both times they were complete assholes to me. Not just me.but our country The one guy I tried make friendly conversation and I mentioned I was going to a race tomorrow and he goes off on America and their racing , americans and their gasoline.Liked he walk here lmao..what an asshole..just rude ..I dont feel bad for Canada one bit. Both times...ASSHOLES!

Every leader is playing into trumps hands!! People everywhere do not understand narcissistic personality disorder. By every leader, media reports talking about him phoning him pleading with him is all fuel!!!!This also tells his narcissism everyone is under control!! This makes him feel powerful! Society really needs to learn about narcissists. This situation calls for leaders to ignore him do not call him media needs to drop stories!! But society has been so heavily influenced by narcissism it just can’t let go of the profits this whole shit show is going to create. Oh and by the way all these politicians are narcissists as well and now this has threatened their control. And guess who gets to go along for the ride and the chaos they create.

Wow! Leader of a country with a backbone. You should be proud, Canada. He makes Trump and Vance look like the low intelligent monkeys that they are. No offence to monkeys intended.

I will not listen to MSNBC or CNN or any stations tonight. I will be watching all of my James Bond movies and other movies. I would not waste my time listening to insults from this person. With a so-called friend like Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk does not make you smart. ?

I hope Canada will plan to take US refugees. Many democrats/liberals want to defect. Trudeau has a sweet heart. I want that in my leader! Please let us come. Or see if Donald will let the US west coast could be assumed by Canada. \nCalifornia, CA\nI’m willing to freeze for life to get away from this regime, please. Make us an offer, sirs.

Orange chimp wants to make it his vassal state. Whichever way that croaks dies will be too good for him

about drugs and illegal immigrants are clean, i am trust treadeu and i know he have matter house prices in his country. But he must be explained the subsidies that Trump said Canada received in very clean, its true or not. If true why canada not invest back to USA make fair economic as purpose make a trade balance both two country. In fact many factory moved from the usa to canada and USA trade deficit with Canada. SO dumb

If I were Russia, I would take advantage of this opportunity to make friends with the West and fill the gap left by the United States. Begin trading more than ever before, selling cheap energy, and doing anything to fill the void left by the US.

No, that doesn't make sense.Because both of them are the same boat

Kuddos to Canada! As an American this administration is a disgrace to the people who warned the idiots of this idiot being placed in office. This government is determined to make us Americans suffer

Justin, you are wasting your valuable breath.Trumpovitch won't understand a single word until Russia tells him what you mean - and how he is expected to respond. Make Russia Great Again !!

I am from Kazakhstan, and we stand with Canada, Ukraine, and Mexico! Unfortunately, our government cannot openly express what we truly think because of our crazy neighbor. We share the longest land border in the world with Russia.\n\nThe only way to achieve peace in the world is to grant freedom to the indigenous nations within Russia, who are enslaved in their own homeland. If Russia were to retreat to its true borders—around Moscow—this world would become a much better place to live.\n\nAs Kazakhs, we know the Russian regime very well. We have been deceived more than once by Russian rulers over the past 200 years, and due to their ruthless policies, we lost more than 70% of our population. They have never lived well, and their goal is to make the whole world suffer just as much as they do.\n\nAll of this chaos and crisis originates from Russia!

Maybe he should discuss the constant duty fees and border crossing fees for anything shipped from Canada to the USA that have been constantly rising for years; fees that his very own government sets. Maybe he should talk about Canada demanding that anyone that sells anything foodwise to anyone in Canada from the USA has to have a special Safe Food For Canadians Food License or the goods being shipped will be rejected at the US owners cost, seized by the border and held in storage at the US owners cost, and destroyed and billed to the US owner. A license that no one actually needs considering other legal and ethical controls are in place to prevent unsafe foods from crossing the border, but Canada reserves the right to make us pay for one or we suffer consequences. Maybe he should discuss how they left their borders open to migrants, making it much easier for criminal migrants to get into the US. Maybe he should understand that the US has always been bleeding money to Canada on a trade level for about half a century with it getting much worse in the last decade because Canada's government are greedy. Before any of you come at me, keep in mind I work in the food ingredient industry as an order processing, logistics and customs & border crossing and have done so for 15 years. These tariffs were a long time coming and if any of you are on the inside of trade in the manner I am, then you know what I'm saying is true. The US is constantly paying additional tariffs by way of duty fees, customs fees, certain applied taxes (like there is literally a blueberry tax to ship US grown blueberries into Canada to prevent US blueberries from taking over the Canadian blueberry market). The blueberry tax is about 25cents per lb. which drives the price per lb. up for the seller and buyer. You wanna know why Food costs so much? All of the above with a huge side helping of GREED.

Can someone intelligent please explain with evidence why we’re at a war with Canada? How does this make America great again?

All this volatility is wanted so DJT and his buddies can make even more money . They play the need Ande the volatility at will to heed the tendancies and make millions. ????

Boycott America make up money selling Canada exports even China Trump ? trump will back down

It makes no sense that Trump would be so aligned with Putin if there were not something shady going on.

Americans Canadians love each other don't let the demons make you dizzy...Jesus Christ is exposing liars ridiculers revilers greedy narcist for Gods day of judgement....Revelation 21 : 8 Liars murderers greedy persons fornicators extortioners are being exposed for divine judgement....

I want the world to know that any American cheering for this is mentally challenged so don't make fun of them.

Dave Ramsey supported and endorsed Trump despite his tariff plans. Pls someone make it make sense.

Wow, I love the way Trudeau is honest with his people. America can't say the same. One thing Canada has is a leader who is for them. America is about to see how big a difference that actually makes in such times. We're divided while they're together.

Netherlands here: Trump HAS to impose tariffs because he promised it a zillion times during his campaign. As a major narcissist he cannot afford to say that he made a mistake, and therefor: tariffs. I predict however that this period will not last very long. Only as long as necessary to make it possible for Trump to say that they didn't work out as planned because of some reason.

Trump just wants more tax money from Americans. The excuse of business and border control were just to get us to get things done for him. Time to annex the states and make them suffer for trumps idiotic plans

I think this “in your face” publicly addressing Donald looks good. Canada should fast track citizenship for US Citizens wishing to immigrate: prioritize and target talented and skilled US citizens and make it a very public announcement, like this.

If Trumps' aim is to somehow go down in history as the President who stopped the Ukraine Russo war he is making a big mistake. By acquiescing to Putin he will just go down as a traitor to his country, and the Western Allies.

Trumph is one stupidest president ever elected. Making America great again was a false message. Trumph is always a failure in all his business. Now he lie to all his Americans. Trumph even to the extend that he ask Canadian to be Americans. An idiotic President talking with out sense. Americans impeached yr President immediately. Save America.

Trump states he wants to make American great again, he seems to forget that he needs friends and allies to make American great again, he seems to be on a path of alienating America.

How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

cant wait until Trump's appetite for burgers makes his heart go boom boom

Mr Trudeau, may my family and friends come live in Canada? None of us voted for this big, fat, orange, narcissistic a**hole and his psychotic sycophants. Trump is only going to double down on all the things that piss him off. Look, if Trump thought he could make a dollar off fentanyl, he wouldn’t be against it - it’s just that he doesn’t get any of the cuts. And by the way, I don’t think I’ve ever heard “smart” and “Trump” uttered in the same sentence without “not” being inserted between them. Trump is an idiot. I have visited Canada and it’s beautiful, unspoiled, and intelligently ran. PLEASE let us come! Most of us stand firmly with Canada, Mexico, and Europe. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American in 67 years of life.

I wish he is our president !!He makes sense and he show his leadership
