Canada tried to appease Trump and pretended to take his lies seriously. You can't appease dictators and dictator-wannabes, ever. Don't boo our national anthem at hockey games please, but don't give Trump anything. Most Americans are on Canada's side.

Canada needs to sober up and stop whining, Liberals acting like baby giving away billions to support wars and some bullshit..there is so much work that needs to be done to Canada be great. Trump is actually doing a favor by doing that.....let's how we are going to independent from USA

Sir, you do what you need to do for Canada. You cut us off you raise tariffs and do what’s best for your country we American people understand that Donald Trump is ignorant. He’s an idiot. He does not care about nobody but himself and his billionaire friends thank you for what you’re doing. Stay in your ground and do not give in to Donald Trump. He’s evil and a traitor he’s Putin‘s bitch thank you sir.????????????

I’m also a veteran and voted for Trump.. I stand with the USA not Canada.. don’t have problems with Canada but I support my president and trust in what he is doing.. give him a chance… if he doesn’t do what he says and doesn’t make America great again will vote him out… look at all the previous president clowns in office. I am loyal to my country. I bleed United States no matter what.. I may not always like what has happened shot look at Biden but I’ll never side a with another country i pledge my allegiance to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ??

Canada has politely let terrorists into the United States , Canada has politely been unfair to America in trade. Canada has politly accepted Billions in free money. Goodbye Canada. In closing perhaps Canada should become ''Unwoke'' and give your people ''Free Speech''

Critical minerals in Canada are shovel ready. Even if Trump pushed Ukraine to give up its minerals, it would take 10-15 years to get mines surveyed and then built.

CNN correspondence never gives the more impactful concerns - in this case, the concern should be the fact that DT is attacking Canada, our friends, and Mexico, our friends - because he's a fkn traitor - and the US Constitution that says it's our American duty to stop people like him. The government and the common people must be overlooking these crimes and willing to give up their rights and freedoms. The original KGB and the long running Putin agenda is the slow game in his global conquest for power. You have to consider the geopolitics. If Mexico and Canada won't defend us (because they hate Trump) DT can/will sell out America to Russia, in turn Canada would be the closest place to conquer, then Mexico. It's stupid tho, unless the UN stands back and watches this happen too. Think I'm bullshittin, reading too far into things, but I'm not. Nobody is at the wheel but Trump, and he doesn't even know how to drive. You, the people and corporate new media will never read far enough to get the entire picture. Krasnov stole the Country to handicap us in the Cold War, except the War is white hot. He's in line with Hitlers handbook. And don't forget, that Nazis were white people who had no problem offing white people. Just sayin. Nobody is safe in Trump country. It's all Biffed up now.

Well u should have helped our country like trump asked you to do!!!! He warned you and you didn’t lift a finger so us taxpayers can give you the finger!! ?. ? u think Trump was playing games???!!! Why was your border still opened allowing illegals in our country??!!! They were flying in thru plane and just walk thru Canada & u did nothing about it!!!????

There were two things that Canada had to do to avoid Trump's tariffs. Increase our Defense spending and stop the flow of drugs and illegal aliens entering the US thru Canada. Trudeau only talked about the drug issue. If Trudeau cancels the $ 40 Billion unsolicited contract to SNC Lavalin, and instead gives that $ 40 Billion to Canada's military to buy new weapons and train more soldiers Trump will, I am positive, immediately drop the tariffs against Canada!

Haha America is NOT hurt at all, but Canada is. We have given trillions of our tax gollars to Canada for no reason, Canada wants the USA to give and give and take and take, but now you’re gonna pay up, only uneducated people are influenced be the trash spewing spouting out of this man’s mouth, we want our money back, I think we should take Canada by FORCE and show you there is nothing you can do!!!

Bless you Canada. Stand your ground even though it will hurt me badly, we cannot give in to a bully!

Through Canada to USA comes tons of drug's, look at Vancouver and Toronto, USA not only gets goods from Canada we get illegal immigrants and drug's. Canada has dirty oil, that USA has to refine to use. Shame both countries can't work together and be strong. Ukraine Zelensky just wants money, don't care about his people, and will cause WWW111 if countries keep giving to him.

There's many reasons not to like Trudeau up here in Canada, many of which are the reason he'll (rightfully) no longer be the PM next week. As a conservative I hated him for SNC-Lavalin (among other scandals), and the fact that his inexperience with the economy Harper left him is probably part of why this trade war is going to hurt more than it could have, and the fact that he's often been kind of a phony more concerned with looking and sounding good for the press cameras. Not this time. Nothing phony here; I've got to give credit to him for capturing the national mood pretty much perfectly with this speech. Good on him. \n\nAnd congratulations as well to Donald for pretty much handing the Liberals their best shot at a fourth term, too. What an absolute idiot. Normally I'd turn my nose up at having to vote Liberal, but I am so, so sick of the brand of empty populism Trump stands for that it looks like that's what I'm gonna be doing come election time.

Why doesn't someone just come out and say it. What does Putin have on Trump to get him to do all these things. All of these things don't benefit Canada or the United States they benefit Putin.\n Donald I for one am completely willing to forgive you whatever you've done whatever Putin has on you I will completely forgive you and I would imagine to put an end to all this craziness the rest of the country will forgive you too will give you a pass on whatever Behavior Putin recorded

Just bann all American products across canada, develop your partnerships with Mexico and Central America countries. They have the rigth of imposing whatever tariffs they want. See how Russia developed their own industry when all west companies left after the war. There is nothing better than those tariffs. For both parts. But, if you want to give your but, keep giving it to them.

Everybody says they are the friend of the US, until it's time to be fair. To the world, stop being a bunch of children... or don't. But if not, be prepared to suck it up. Be ready to back up your BS. Don't tell us what our government is doing to us, pay attention to what you are doing to us... and have been since the 1950s. Let us be crystal clear, you Canada, along with Europe and others have been enjoying your subsidized lifestyles off our backs. We are done and finally someone in the White House is hearing us. I don't agree with everything he says and does, but I agree with him that this foolishness needs to stop. Stop now. To Trudeau, Buckel up butter cup, put your blackface on and find yourself a cute little dress, maybe entertainment can be the way for you to go. Talk to you in a few years, let's see how this all works out for you. To Canadian's, Last Chance, come be number 51, before the Russia and China split you down the middle like a roast pig. Send your 250 troops to Ukraine, let's see what you and 2000 Europeans can do after you piss off the Russians... because you are right about one thing, they are led by an evil man, who's word is useless and who doesn't give a rat's butt who dies for his glory.... even if it's you and your children. No worries, you don't need those nasty Americans south of the great white north, your good all on your own. I Just sent Trump another $50. Not going to change the world, but it will let him know we are behind him, no matter what the Libs of the world have to say about it.

Lmao , Americans don't give a damn what this douche thinks . I will be joyful that all the diaper head flip flop. Trucking cartel from Canada. ; driving our interstates like no speed limit exists. Will be off our roads. Just a liberal dictator that has made his country a police state over taxed pile of moose dung

Go Canada. Give us heck. You know who deserves it and the American people will drive him from office.

CNN celebrating an outgoing Prime Minister of a foreign county to give a “blistering speech” against the new American president, while when he does that, they fall apart in disbelieve and outrage!\n\nWhat else is “NEWs”?\n\nRename CNN Candian Network News, maybe. \n\nI used to watch CNN daily, now it’s just a turn-off. Literally. \n\nTrudeau has been a disaster for Canada and Canadians… and he’s being chased “out of town”, but if he attacs the US or even better Pres. Trump, he’s oh so cool and fashionable. \nBut is he?\nHe helped Trump get elected, just like the woke left and CNN. \n\nPad yourself on your shoulders, it wasn’t easy but you did it, well with the help of the rest of the left media. \n\nThanks!

USA stole Mexico’s ?? territory now Trump wants to steal Canada ?? territory! \nAnd Trump probably will give Alaska back to Russia Putin ??

Trudeau cares more about me and my fellow Americans than Trump does!! Trump needs to take a page (maybe an encyclopedia set) on leadership from Trudeau! Notice that he is doing all he can to protect Canadian jobs and people during this trade while Trump is firing hundreds of thousands of American workers, causing the layoffs of more, and doesn't give a hoot about tanking the economy! On behalf of those who did not vote for Trump thank you Canada and Trudeau. I am sorry .

Come on Canada.. its time Americas allies give America back a little.\nThey can have Russia and North Korea.\n\nThe UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and China can get together and have our own agreements

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

Buy produced and made in canada and we will survive this together, we are strong and proud of our country, no one can destroy us unless we give them power over us. Thank you Mr prime Minister Trudeau, together we will survive this.

What is wrong with the American people here disrespecting America by supporting a country who shows nothing but disrespect and contempt to the American people and out Representatives? What is wrong with President Trump wanting things to be fair. Canada has charged the US a 25% tariff for years and that's acceptable I think not. They deserve a 25% tariff from America. Why do some Americans think it's acceptable to give America's hardworking tax dollars away to countries who show nothing but disrespect to United States what is wrong with you guys? America doesn't need to be everybody else's piggy bank we have our own people our own states to take care of own states to take care of.

If I was the President of the United States I would give what voters want cut off Canada.

Hard to believe that some people in the world do not want freedom, peace, friends, and happiness, and we let the so called leaders ruin our world that we all have a short time on this beautiful planet. Canada will survive, we will never give up our country. Thank you Mr.Prime Minister for being yourself and truthful and letting the world know. Thank you from all around the globe for your support.

Look Justin, Its not about the fentanyl. That’s with Mexico. The fact is the US has been giving Canada billions of dollars for decades and we’re just not going to do it anymore. The US want to make Canada the 51st state and this is how it is going to be done.

Go Canada! Sweden will give you 2, no 3! free shots in the next hockey game ;-) Stand your ground, together we'll build a new and better world.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a “made in Canada” tag?? yeah the 2% imports you guys give us isn’t gonna been seen at all

Trudeau is good at brainwashing. It has nothing to do with the people. It has to do with this dictator regime who taxes everyone and everything in Canada. Basically. And don't want to stop. They leave their borders open and immigration here in Canada is out of control. They give refuge to criminals in Canada and no rule of law. This guy is a dictator and food at brainwashing in the media.

Canada will have to explain to convicted felon Donald Trump what fertilizer is, among other things. But it also needs to understand that Donald Trump wanted Canada to be the 51st state because he has already made the United States Russia’s 47th oblast, and he wants to give Putin control of ALL of the real estate around the north Polar Sea. That’s also why Trump wants Greenland.

Trump as he announced wants Canada and Greenland that is why those tariffs are in place , that is why why he thinks of Putin like his hero and giving on Ukraine. Tariffs war is just a beginning

I am an American and totally agree with Canada. \nTrump is messing with Canada and all Americans in his crazy quest to get money to give the 1% billionaires.

America is with you Canada fight against these Bullies Don't give in to them we are with you we win we stick together and not back down

He is so full of it! America is just finished giving them free money! Canada is a welfare recipient of America and we've had enough!

I wonder why King Charles has chosen to give Trump a State Visit when Trump has declared economic war on part of his 'commonwealth'? Trump should remember that King Charles is also de-facto head of the Canadian state - Trudeau is the King's 'Prime Minister'. As a Brit, I stand with Canada and will boycott American goods for the rest of my life - no forgiveness!

Trudeau is a total DICKHEADD always trying to scare americans, AND hes hella manipulative , he shoud worry about canadians and stop trying to pep talk U.S natives like were babies , we know whats up, hes just mad that we Americans are standing up to the bullshit were fuckenn tired as well,, weve been seeing prices go up, and thats why were fighting back , FUCKK YOUUUU CANADA AND YOUR LEADER!. straight up like that,, yall dont give a fucc about us yall never do. yall didnt send help when the fires were happening in california.

We know why HE is doing this. He is pushing an imperialistic agenda, so he can be like those he admires. He's hoping that Canada will bend at the knee and give in so that he can claim Canada as a 51st state. But guess what? That won't happen. He's just doing himself and his country harm. He doesn't care about you, or me, or us as two countries that have always worked together. But we are setting up border security to keep American drugs, and weapons, and illegal migrants from coming into Canada. We're going to have to survive by reverting our trade to elsewhere, to depend on ourselves, to boycott U.S. products. We may be nice, but we are also tough. We love our society, our democracy, and our benefits. We won't give that up. Growing up, I lived in South Western Ontario, I used to go back and forth from Canada to the U.S. with no issues. Now, I'm sad to say, I won't ever be going to the U.S. again. Let's all hope for a brighter future for both countries.

We love you Canada. we are so sorry we can't stand him either. Give us a minute. We will get him out of the office

Do wath you have to do turn off the electricity to usa canada please and thank you i gues everybody has to move from usa im not goint to pay more for everything and make his friends more ritcher and we know they sell more drugas than any country in the hospitel they give you opio pills and all kind of drugs

No to Trump ! CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE ! ! \nWould Trump give back Alaska to Putin !

Sell out good to Canadian ppl a lbs lower the price lol. Trudeau give your head a shake! And Canada should join with Russia too?

Trump doesn't care who he hurts. He and Vance stand by Putin! Trump should have negotiated with Canada and not threatened to start a war with Us.. more than a trade war. Trump wants to help Putin take Ukraine and then he hopes his buddy Putin will help annex Canada! It will be war.. we will not give Canada to backstabbers and murderers!

You guys understand, I hope, that our president is a predator who is like putin tries to land grab Canada? He doesn’t give a s… about the economy, or illegal drugs or whatever. He is a criminal who is after its potential victim- Canada. ??

It’s suspicious that Trump’s is giving the SOTU address on the same day as he abrogates our commitments to Ukraine and instigates an illogical tariff war against our friends Canada and Mexico.

Give discounts to Americans Vacationing in Canada!

Thank goodness there are heroes like Trudeau taking a prominent stance on the world stage. It gives me hope that our allies have not gone mad, even if some of my countrymen have. We admire you and support you, Canada. Thanks for telling the truth, boldly. We love you, Trudeau.

Hold tight Canada. It may be tough but do not give up, do not give in, do not bend the knee to those degenerats currently running the US. The Americans have just sold their long term allies to Russia for some short term (or mid term at best) gains. They are not to be trusted anymore. \nLast weeks events will be neither forgotten nor forgiven.
