No you believe in us protecting you for free for forever. And it’s over. You are crippling yourselves Canada. And again, you must have a team of moderators that crowd source opinions and use mine often to prepare you for your next speech. I am but one intelligent Hoosier calling these moves… you really will be losing seafood here next ;). Trade war is hardly 25%, and the tariffs were meant to be reciprocal anyways XD so wooo, big move. Weren’t you facing fraud charges or something just recently cuz you stole from your own people?

From Japan, to our friends in Canada.\n\nSurely, we in Japan will also be forced to face a trade war similar to what you, our Canadian friends, are experiencing.\nNo, perhaps it has already begun—perhaps we are merely on the verge of its full-scale escalation.\n\nCanadian friends, your leader has shown a resolute stance against the U.S. government. Please take pride in this. The American left will surely boo him harshly once again, but this is what a true statesman should be. With dignity and composure, he made a difficult decision—not because he wanted to, but because he had to—fully aware that it would bring pain to both nations’ citizens.\n\nCan our own Japanese leaders take such a firm and resolute stance? That, I do not know.\nBut I offer my deepest respect.\n\nAmerica is no longer a protective guardian to us.\nWe must defend our own nation by ourselves.\nThis has become clearer than ever.\n\nPeople of Canada, let us remain strong together.\n\nWith deepest respect and prayers from Japan.

I'm really sorry for the US citizens to have now their worst president ever, and to be friend with (just imagine..) PUTIN !!\nStanding with Canada and Ukraine!

Respect Canada from Portugal ?? ??

European here (Swedish/Germn born in Austria) Cudos to Canada! Even if Trump should row back Canada will not forget this and has once and for all realized that their dependance on the US is not sain. So this was really dumb - Canada is already negotiating with other markets, amongst others Europe. And on the long run this will be worse for the US than for Canada!

I love Canada ! And Canadians !

The UK is with our ally Canada :)

I’m with you Canada. Shut the power off. MAGA is destroying the USA day by day and they need to feel it.

I ❤ Canada

Wait..does this mean Canada is now going to have a 285% tariff on our dairy goods? Yeah, that's for all the people who don't know what's currently going on, and just jump on the Trump hate bandwagon without researching anything.

Rumer this man and covid 19 the trucker in Canada do !!!!!!

As an American I stand with Canada and Ukraine

He said he was gonna retire…he should get the f out. Trudeau has ruined Canada. Get the f out

Thank you Canada ??

Good for you Justin Trudeau, your Father (a great Canadian), would be proud of you. Now, get together with the Premiers and map out how Canada can overcome this attack and come out stronger on the other side.

I think Trudeau is the only one Canadian guilty of this problem. A French official disguised as a religious man was involved in drug trafficking with the Miami baggage handlers. He even commissioned the baggage handler to commit domestic terrorism for the benefit of France. Air Force pilots died as kamikazes to destroy the drugs while CLEANTOWN prevented the FBI from raiding Arkansas as usual under the pretext of religion. The worst thing is that this pretext did not prevent women and children from being burned in the Davidians as the ASOVs do in Ukraine. Submitting to the French government when they are going to have an import tax is allowing French products to pass through Canada to avoid paying tax. To be sure that this does not happen, they do not need a vassal of France who follows the liars, and this is not a hypothesis, it is a fact that a Canadian, either disguised customs, or director of 2 wheels, can confirm not the arrest of the baggage handler who traced the trail but the domestic HATRED of these so-called gentry French, the friend of the haters of the KKK of France is not a quality of security and alliance against hatred and sure that the taxe will be apply to the hatred.

We don’t need Canadas products

just wait to see what will happen in Mexico The president of Mexico will also respond with tariffs on the exports that the US makes to Mexico. Thousands of people are expected to gather in the main square of Mexico City. this weekend as support for people from Canada, and the United States who are affected by these tariffs.

As an American citizen I’m saddened by Trumps B ignorance and diatribes I stand with Canada and the EU and any other countries who respond in kind. Trumps the Destroyer in Chief turning his back on Ukraine embracing Outin his hero, It disgusts me and makes me sick, Trump should be in jail and the Supreme Court empowers his injustices and is complicit, prices go higher Everything is Higher Day One has come and Gone.

trump stated yesterday he was implementing tariffs because canada is stealing americann jobs and americas money. nothing about drugs. its not about that. he just wants to destroy everyone elses economy. he is destruction

WOW!!! What a calm, measured response toward an incredibly ridiculous situation. This is what leadership looks like!!! Thank you Canada for standing up to this bully! We'll weather this shit storm together. Thank you for being our kind, thoughtful, compassionate, patient, AND polite neighbors + friends. We LOVE you!!!

I stand with Canada , Ukraine. Never with Russia. Never with Trump. or Vance. Not with the Republican Congress. Great speech , no name calling like last Friday.. MTG boyfriend who is another arrogant person like the President or the Vice President.

Canada set up a “go fund me” to fight Trump and MAGA. People around the world will donate. Trump is despised.

Trudeau and the liberal party have destroyed Canada.

Stop talking, start a war, if you're a man, start a war, Canada, you're not a bad person, you're the same as women, less tanks, less mistakes, if you can't do it, Canada, you're gay, I'll just say one thing, stop taraffs, you're okay, you're the same as Trump, corporate Canada

Elbows up Canada! ?? Many Americans are on your side! Go get him!

Respect to Canadas PM.

come on, Trudeau! This is not about him doing what someone else wants him to do, he wants to even destroy the Canadian economy so he can easier annex Canada. T. is not interested in anything else than revenge and his own advantage, he does not care if people despise him, for him it's only about power and money. In 4 years he is gone again and won't have to worry about anything, because he got the money he raked in within his dictator years, and won't ever look back, not giving a fluff about Americans.

For Many Years Illegal immigrants Fly to canada and Then They cross Illegally into the USA And Trudau Didn't stop it

Wow Canada is cooked lol.

Very good speech President Justin Trudeau!!! Wish you come back for our President for another 4 years or more! You are strong, professional and work for people of Canada. You care for your country and not against. We need you ?

I see this as nothing less than Trump wanting to do to Canada a slightly more palatable version of what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Trump has openly said he wants Canada to become the 51st state, even though this is a huge ask as Canada has a population larger than any US state (California is close in population size), Canada has a land mass nearly the size of the US and, including water mass, Canada has a larger overall area than the US. Trump also wants Iceland to be owned by America. He has become power crazy during a war because this is his only chance to stoke his ego to undreamable levels. Trump wants to be America's Putin.

I'm from the USA, and I stand with Canada. There are far too many ignorant Americans who have taken everything for granted. They have no idea how much we depend on our allies and partners across the globe. It's time for America to learn that we are not the mightiest, or the greatest if we stand alone.

I live in U.S. I stand with Canada!

He doesn’t care ABOUT THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF CANADA ?? BUT HE EXPECTS PEOPLE LIVING IN TENTS ?️ WHILE IMMIGRANTS FLOURISH BUYING CARS AND BIG HOMES ? TO CARE ABOUT HIS JOB THATS IN JEOPARDY??\n\nSorry but I VOTE TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT OF CANADA ?

Canada you should have done a deal with UK, Australia and New Zealand and today you won’t be in this position. Why did you trust one country so much.

As an American, I STAND WITH CANADA!

Germany will always stand on our friends site! Be strong canada and stay strong

Vive le Canada !

People talking about a war are out of their mind. You would be against Canada, Mexico, AND HALF YOUR NEIGHBORS!!! ??? Trumps favorite people ( the uneducated) gonna be pissed when their food stamps and medical coverage disappear

Canada is a paper tiger

We here in the US stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK, and Europe! I am so embarrassed by our current leadership. Je suis tellement gênée par notre president et tous les gens qui le suivent.

Glory to Canada
