As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

It’s been said for years ever since trump stepped into politics. trump is Americas greatest security threat and the worst president ever

I’m ashamed of our president. Canada has done everything they were asked by an unreasonable Donald Trump. Trump is isolating America intentionally. I am ashamed to be n American.

Sell your product to uk and EU simple don’t be bullied by the trump he’s trying to weaken you so he can propose a state for your country don’t deal with them sell your product to uk eu etc they can’t be trusted no more and I love America ?? and there people but this has gone terribly wrong now he’s in power and by the way I wanted trump to win but now he’s lost me ?

Trudeau is a good leader who care's for both Canada and America USA . basically trump is a Russian

The rest of the world is with you Canada and Mexico. We no longer stand with America. NEVER AGAIN. Until Trump is LONG GONE. And do not lie with Russia.

This is not US goverment this is Trump doing destroying the west \nTrump is bias of Putin\nWhy people of USA do not go on the street to Support Ukraine at least to show solidarity\nTrump offers Zelenski Capitulation and that gives Putin Wings to continue to take the rest of Ukraine and slowy whole Europe\nHe wants to reverse Reagan-Gorbacov history and with Trump he will succeed\nThis is Weaker America not stronger America\nHomer Simpson will do better than Trump

PLEASE DON'T EQUATE TRUMP WITH AMERICA. 350 GOOD AND DECENT MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE AMERICA. TRUMP HAS ABANDONED DEMOCRACY.

Let's all start fresh NO MORE FOREIGN AID!! Done - Finished - we don't owe anything to any one and I don't need Trudeau speaking to me. He has a failing economy and it has been failing since he came in ~ now he wants to blame Trump! Everything here should be MADE IN AMERICA!!

As far as we see here in Ireland Trump is been dictated to by Musk and Putin. God help America

I mean mr tredau, u are donating to countries in war... u arw giving money to refugees when ur own people cant even afford to rent and eat. U got so many foreign workers when canadians are unemployed. Worry about ur own befire you do social work in other countries. Trump cares about america, u should step down asap.... u brought this upon all canadians.

Justin Trudeau is ten times the leader that idiot tRump could ever hope to be.\nI can't believe there are still some Americans that support tRump. America has gone to hell.

America wake up now before trump destroy. America !

What i dont underatand is how i read so many angry posts like these on every news networks yet, how the hell did Donald Trump get elected???!! Or do we have so many gullible people in America who believed his lies and are now regretting voting for him?!

Stupidity is more dangerous than evil. Look at history. A country that loses a war does not lose because it is less evil but because its people elected a foolish leader, and they have paid the price in blood. America will pay the price—not with Trump's blood, but with the sweat and toil of ordinary citizens.

Australia here ... What the $#@ is the go with Trump he is abandoning every ally and backing a Russian tyrant ... Make America great my arse !!! \nHe is gonna ruin America

As a Canadian I am shocked that very few Americans seem to care at what Trump is doing to their country. It's not the tariffs on all of the US's former allies but that he has dumped its allies to appease Trumps good friend Putin. I am looking at dismay watching the US go from being the leader of the free world to just another dictatorship run by billionaires, America is Russia. It's up to you America to stop this, no one is going to come to help you. Good luck you are going to need it.

Remember, it's not just Canada that is responding to Trump. Mexico and China are also responding simultaneously to Trump's idiotic tariffs. Mexico, Canada, and China are America's biggest suppliers of materials crucial to the American economy and are huge markets for American goods. If Trump thinks he can fight all of these countries at once and not have America receive grievous damage, then he is more deluded than we thought.

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

As an American that did not nor never would vote for trump....there is no making sense out of his idiocy. He has made us less safe in the world, he has humiliated America. I cannot believe this is happening in my country, I'm so sad and sorry for the chaos he and the Republicans are causing.

I BACK AND SUPPORT OUR GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND AMERICA THE GREAT

I BACK AND SUPPORT OUR GREAT PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND AMERICA THE GREAT

Trump will not stop at this! He already said that he wanted to replace IRS with ERS (External Revenue Service). Trump wants to replace Income Tax with Tarrifs !!\nYes! MAGA will laugh and say No More Tax for all Americans!\nThey don't know that America raised a total income tax of 3 Trillion Dollars annually. But America also spend 3 Trillion dollars on imports! So to replace Income Tax with Tariffs, America needs to apply 100% tariffs on ALL Imports from All countries around the world!\nSo prices on imported goods will be at least double in America! That will make people buy less. Imports will drop! So even with 100% blanket tariffs it will not raise 3 Trillion dollars for Trump!\nWhat's more? As America tries to make more things in America to avoid tariffs, tariffs will dry up and where does Trump get 3 Trillion dollars? ?

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

It just shows how some people in our country truly are. So this is what make America great again means huh? We were the land of the free & opportunity! That S#$! Is done now. Thank Trump & your cronies!! We are now the enemy to the whole WORLD!! THIS IS WHO YALL VOTED FOR!!?? REALLY!!? SMH??

Socialists in America and in Canada will piss on things that hurt the Elitists. 100% behind Mr. Trump. Where one goes, we all go.

Wait until Trump sends his troops into Canada. MAGA , musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Putin, and North Korea are right behind him. You used to be a democracy like America was. America was once known as the United States of America. MAGA has forced the world to call that former great country Shitland.

On a clear vision, Trump is isolating America. Let it just be Trump, Vance against Canada, Ukraine, Europe. Because democracy could be restored without them. The world should be balance, and America was on that side before Trump's dooming

I wish he would say the Trump administration instead of America. Because none of this is the real America. Edit: I do support Canada in their response.

I truly believe that Trump was so incensed about losing the second term, and knowing that this is his last term, he's intentionally sending America into a recession. It's out of spite. With Trump, it's always out of spite. Think about it. Jan 6. Cutting federal employees to the extent that American families suffer. Medicare/Medicaid, Consumer financial Protection, Department of Defence, Department of Education, the FAA, and it continues. Nobody can be that dumb.

In a small way it's beneficial to America in the sense it's pushback to Trump. Too few have the backbone to do so.?❤️??????

Casualties of a trade war are the middle and low classes. Thanks to everyone who voted for Trump, yall just Made America Worse Again

Canada has easy fix, do what Trump ask and stop fentanyl and illegal aliens=no more tariffs. Mexico a little more complex, in addition to the above issues add in factories being built and in mexican for sub human labor costs and making top profits in America.

Please America, stand up to Trump. He is going to ruin your great country.

Wake. Up America. This stuff is gonna hurt. Trump. Does not have our best interests in mind.

Amazing how many uneducated there are in America. That's why we have Donald J. (for Jester) tRump. Good going America!!!

TRUMP is Putin's TROJAN HORSE with target to destroy America from within and destroy the US DOLLAR.

Trump Disaster Donald. This your best dream for the darkest night of America and letting go of our friends for murderous Putin. Shame on your mother for giving birth to you and your daddy for not having the spine yo discipline you with a stick..how spoiled you are

We the people of America do NOT agree with the actions of the Trump Administration! MAGA conservatism is A CANCER of our society!

Trump told you to stop the fentanyl going over the border into America !! and you chose not to ,,, now there’s 25% tariffs you have yourself to blame. Simple as that. Half the stuff that comes out of your mouth is a lie.

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

I am beginning to like Trump's idea of Canada becoming part of the US. So that we could have the Prime Minister as the leader of the great America, and we get rid of the president and presidency altogether.

Trump, Vance, and Musk are doing irreplaceable damage to America. How can the world ever trust America again. \nFox and Murdoch have created an idiocracy.

I live in America and I can tell you that I did not vote for the orange Oompa Loompa! Trump is a liar, a thief, a felon, a con man, a narcissist, a dictator wannabe, a traitor to the US, an insurrectionist, a sore loser, asexual, predator, and a POS! Please go after trump! I stand with Canada, Mexico and the rest of our allies! Nobody should ever trust anything out of that moron’s mouth! A narcissist will always do the opposite of what you tell them to do

Why do Europeans and Canadians citizens do not feel the same level of urge \nto take illegal drugs ? \nTheir is something specially wrong with America's society \nA problem that Trump and MAGA have no idea why \nAnd quite frankly \nDon’t really care

Sounds like someone who is also not thankful what we do for your country and people honestly fuck canada i voted for trump and i will spend more of my hard earned money if prices increase idgaf make america great again .

Trudeau you stick to your own country. \nWe elected Trump. Let us worry about us. \nStart helping your own. \nGood luck, Canadaians. We want to help you rid yourself of him.❤❤loves from America

As an American I too stand with Canada. Those maga dictator in chief will destroy America just to appease his daddy Putin. Phuck tRump and Putin

Trump is playing right into Putin's hands obviously has never read a history book or two look at America's stance at the end of World War II and we've been fighting against the Russians ever since they are not America's friend

America is losing its hegemony, just like Israel, and this is in the interest of other countries that should rely on themselves, not America, which should not fall into such games. King Trump is acting in the interest of Russia, China, and Iran.
