God bless Canada. As an American, I am ashamed.

We find no fault in you Canada. We have a commie in the W.H.

FACT IS that Canada turned this into a trade war!!! I say this as a Canadian. It didn't have to be this way. Canada died 10 years ago. Annex away Mr. Trump.

As a 72 year old American veteran that doesn’t want to bare the pain of a trade war…\nBut I stand with Canada.\nDon’t back down from tRump!\nSAVA CANADA❣️

Go get in the ring with him Trump, and see what happens. Trudeau is not afraid of Bullies, unlike the sycophants in your party. Don't kiss his ring, Canada. Je me souviens.

We stand with Canada, UK, Mexico and Europe! Not russia

Trudeau is awesome...just wish those conservatives wouldn't of turned against him...Trudeau is for Canada

Time to move to Thailand world class nature, food, and healthcare ALL affordable! Canada and USA will soon be 3rd world from this needless destruction of our economies…

Europe stands with Canada and Mexico. Shift your trade to europe or better yet, join EU. Trump and America is no longer to be trusted as a trading partner nor as an alie. With the new administration, they dont share the same values any longer ????

Pretty obvious.... give russia ukraine and let the u.s .have Canada... bullies want the world.

To my mind, Trump would have started the trade war with Canada no matter what measures Canada undertakes. My guess is the underlying motive behind the whole theatre is to somehow pressurize Canada into complete submission. Remember his comments about Canada should become the 51st state? I presume that in reality his eyes are set on Canada‘s vast resources and the potential north-west passage which would be a fantastic gift to his master Putin.

Canada, please know that Americans do not want a trade war with our friends and cousins in Canada, Mexico or Europe. This is trump’s trade war, not the American people’s. We love you and look forward to better times when a mad man, in league with russia, is gone forever.

I can’t in good faith say I side with Canada as a lifelong red blooded American. HOWEVER, I will say I envy Canadians having such a logical clearly spoken leader.

What about saying that Trump is the best Sino-Russian asset in the US ? 'cause that is what he is, currently... jeopardizing generationnal friendship and alliance partnership for a despicable inner self.\nAs a French citizen, I stand with you and your people, Sir Trudeau. And I'll always stand with Canada. *You don't boot a cousin out.*

Watch out Canada, there's going to be a lot of US citizens looking to move north. The real best country on earth.

There ARE winners in a trade war. Many Americans want literally nothing to do with Canada after the booing of our national anthem. Not our President, but our anthem. Some will never forgive. We will endure without Canada, say hi to Xi for us.

Mr. Prime Minister. The people of the United States love Canada we would do anything to help stop this. You are our closest✌️ friend and ally for years and years please don’t hold it against us because we have an idiot in the White House. God bless.

They should also stop spending their money on the border and make it Canada first

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

From Germany: go Canada! You are not alone, friends.

Fact check. More fentanyl enters Canada from the USA than the other way around. So maybe the USA needs to work harder at stopping it, not Canada. But then Musk is firing everyone who would do that.

Poland ?? here as well. It absolutely does not make sense for the US to impose those tariffs. Europe is supporting you Canada!

We stand wih you Canada ???

As an American I 100% support you Canada, Ukraine and the rest of our allies. I did not vote for our convict and cheat in DC. I also refuse to call Donald a president.

Canada already charges tariffs on US products, Trump is just leveling the playing field, you charge we charge, you don't buy our products, we don't buy your products.

I am an American, I stand with Canada ??!!!!

A N OLD ALLY......CANADA....A FRIEND TO THE END....GOD BLESS❤❤❤

This coming from the guy that froze the truckers bank accounts and has acted like a dictator for years. All you had to do Canada is secure your border and pay your fair share into NATO. You didn’t……

Newsflash Justin, we could afford it if you weren't already taxing us to death......CarbonHoax tax .....take 8t with you when you leave. Stop representing Canada, you resigned because we hate you.

USA is planning to take territories that have rare earth minerals (to compensate for the Chinese blockade of such minerals), or other strategic resources. This includes Canada (minerals, oil), Greenland (geographic security), Panama (logistic security), and Ukraine (minerals).\n\nUSA is also using rhetoric to pave the way for a war on Europe, so that USA and Russia can divide Europe between them. The words being used are that Europe is no longer democratic or secure (Vance) or that Europe is generally a bad place in a bad situation (Trump).\n\nEurope would do well to create their own military, and reduce their dependencies on USA as well as Russia. Europe would do well to seek other allies and new alliances, and to prepare for war.

Great and very impressive speech. CHAPEAU!\nCanada is a great country and we in Europe are happy to see how crystal clearly Canada defines its strong position on the side of peace and friendship between the countries, and not war, murders and liars.

I love Canada. I'm part French. My last name is French. The book, 'High Towers was written about my ancestors, who lived in Canada. I have family in Canada.

Dear Canada,keep your shit.Dictator scum

The UK and Europe stands with Canada ?? + ?? + ?? + ?? = ?

All I hear is Donald Trump complaining about the illegal drugs fentanyl entering the United States how about the illegal guns enter in Canada from the United States

Canada,s arrogance towards USA needs to be seriously dealt with?? they crossed every line

Canada a dumpster fire with this guy at the helm lol cry harder

I’m so so sorry Canada! I do not stand with Trump!

Canada has been putting tariffs on us goods for a long time !

Canada the new America?

This is a move Trump himself didn't even want to take. He was forced to do so by the American energy sector. Trump wants america to become completely free of any foreign dependence. The only thing Canada has that the United States depends on is their energy for the Northern US. Trump has slashed regulations and opened land for American companies to start drilling and providing their own energy to the US. They decided against it for record profits. This will for e them to start drilling in the US by making it cheaper than getting energy from Canada. This has nothing to do with Russia. If it did, the US could get all the cheap oil and natural gas as he wants. Putin would give it to the US for free. Trump could careless about Russia or Putin. He wants american energy companys to start doing their jobs and provide energy to the american people at a reasonable cost. But all they are worried about is their record profits.

Better get used to it Canada (and Europe), your nearest neighbour is now officially a Friend and Ally of Putin and Russia!\nThis is the Real Donald Trump we are now seeing. \nHe's been deeply involved with them for Decades, maybe now we need to know why?

Sad to see a statesman like Trudeau having to appease a spoilt narcissistic thug - but overall a great response by Canada

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

I would like to know why America can't protect its own borders. Mexico and Canada protect their own. We all know its not about that at all. Its about a mentally ill dementia patient who should have been hospitalized. His mind is all over the place. Please put him where he belongs.

Trump may be planning to pull a Putin on Canada. Invade and steal land and resources...

Trudeau is the biggest slime with low IQ. Trudeau is so good for Canada that he will be voted out so quickly and for good reasons.

Liar, liar, liar...IF YOU ARE OUR FRIEND, CLOSE THE BORDER, STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FROM CANADA TO AMERICA, AND STOP THE TRAFFIC OF FENTANYL FROM CANADA TO AMERICA. YOU ARE NOT ACTING AS OUR FRIEND.
