Canada being placing tariffs on the USA for years .. and now that the USA says no more you guys all upset now .. we want a even playing field

We are nice, not stupid. The world sees us as the nice country, the polite country. That line between nice and fuck you is thin. We fight hard but we say fuck you even harder.\nAmericans, remember, this isnt about you, this is about the garbage bin in your office and the dumpsters that made it all happen.

Go spend your money on ukraine stop lecturing to people who don't even know where your capital is located

Lol bro i have a farm and there is not 1 thing i need from canada i make everything myself even fertilizer ? you are a clown stfu

As a German - apart from the content which is no less than justified - just technically comparing Trudeau´s speech with Donald Trump´s verbal outcome - what an incredible difference in niveau & tone. Isn't it almost tragic how little skill it took to run the U.S and even worse, how low the common-sense-threshold must be for a half of the American people to make this happen a second time. Embarrassing.

man, just living to survive is hard enough for many people even for min wage earners and now this. The point? I think its ego from trump. Dont get me wrong I actually support some of trump policies but this is spiraling out of control. Ukraine, Allies turned enemies wtf.

This guy is an uppity bigot. He doesnt represent Canadians. He doesnt even stand up for Canadians. I see right through his fakeness. The Kamala of Canada that won, as far as im concerned...

Trump DOE174 is all over the EPSTEIN documents. \nOverwhelming evidence multiple videos & photos, hes on the flight logs, was even involved with a 14 year old girl with EPSTEIN they groomed her.\nThis is your american president?

against the World … Europe , Mexico & even China are together

What an embarrassing time for America ... this second term is even worse than the first. Trump is destroying this country on a world-wide stage. Family and colleagues from around the world are asking if we know more ... but I guess most Americans are dumbfounded by all these stupid moves.

Who gives a shit about the lame duck trudeau , his words me even lass than they did before.

Trump is not even close to being smart. The six time bankrupt is bending over backwards to give Putins Russia everything it asks for. Trump is now a puppet of Putin.

We do not choose as allies those who jail truck drivers and preachers for exercising their rights of free speech and religion. \n\nCanada is not a democracy and it is not friendly to the American people in its present state. Return freedoms to your people, pay the entire amount of your arrears to your military budget as per your NATO membership and shut down illegal immigration and drug trafficking at your border and even the trade balance then we can talk.

These are things our government is doing in full sight in order to distract all attention to the chaos ensuing, so that the WH can pursue even more nefarious projects behind closed doors. Poisoning democracy in an attempt to bring us to our knees before oligarchs and fascists. Trump has made it clear he seeks to be a dictator. Please research how fascism develops. Please people, don’t swallow propaganda initiated by the putin regime.

Let trump show his ass & even MAGAs will notice that due to trump's chaos, prices are going up dramatically, plus we are less secure & have lost the trust of the world.

???. Did Trudope just label Putin exactly what he is, a murderous dictator? ???\nTalk about blind stupidity….Remember the emergencies Act? The court has found that to be the largest violation of rights in Canada in decades\nTrudeau shouldn’t even be speaking seeing he has been voted out by his own party, is facing criminal charges (that will never happen) and is a predator (West Point Grey incident). Liberalism is a mental illness that convinces the patient they are living in the imaginary world of unicorn and rainbows, not reality

You worry about America while we a home in Canada are suffering can’t afford rent can’t afford food we work like slave young folks cant even buy and own a home like they parents did

Another even sadder day for America

This American went out to the liquor store this morning and bought a bottle of Crown Royal Black. I will be thinking of our beloved neighbors as I enjoy a glass of it this evening ?.

This man and his liberals have done more damage to Canada than Trump ever could. Trudeau is such a drama queen. Maybe drop the act, stop laundering money, and smuggling drugs. So worried about the tariffs - you have done even worse to us with your BS carbin tax. All you liberals are completely corrupt.

Should’ve protected that border! Lol. Now your people are gonna pay even more while being taxed 45% of their income. Win for America

Trump is inspired by Mr Beast games strategy. If you cant do better than the toughest enemies, attack your nearest friends. China and Russia, and even India laugh at USA now. EU now is cornered from 3 sides at least. Mexico was the bread of Americans, think about it.

Canada is nothing. Most Americans don't even like Canadians and as far as best friends go, that's only with the Democrats here, not the Republicans. And we have a Republican in charge now, so take your threats, your comments about dictators, and remember what you did to the truck drivers!

Come on, he’s definitely not a “smart guy” lol even his mother called him an idiot

Ah yes the drama teacher turned corrupt liberal dictator who has RUINED CANADA over the last 9 years!! He makes me sick! He doesn't give 2 ? ? about groceries and gas prices for us. He spent $81,000 of Canadian tax dollars on his own grocery bill this year - yeah! That's $1557 a week or $257 a day stuffing his face. That doesn't even include his dining out. He's a liar and needs to disappear like he said he would ?

Venting his emotions in public—man, what a clown. Did he say anything relevant? It took him nine minutes just to say, 'Oh, Trump did what he said three weeks ago,' cry, and play the friend card. Why does he even have the right to speak when he was the president? Man, we’ve got to stop giving attention to that guy.

Stand Tall Canada - the World is watching you stand against another murderous dictator in waiting.. Canada must broach all avenues of economics.. even those in the southern hemisphere.. Australia is one economy.. l was born in Australia.. and stand with the Canadians... the people of the free world must stand together

I voted for Trump, but it's hard not to agree with Trudeau on this even though I find this guy to be extremely unpleasant. There's no reason to start trade wars all over the world and in particular with our neighbors. It's one thing to threaten tariffs and a very different thing to actually apply them. If you do it has to be accompanied by a lot of diplomacy so that the other country is not overreacting, but Trump has been super combative prompting our neighbors to respond in kind to save face. While past deals may not have been great for US, this is not the way to handle our differences. Billionaires like Trump and his friends will be fine, but the majority of ordinary folks in the US and Canada will suffer. Very dumb, indeed.

TRUMP SCHOOLS TRUDEAU! CNN IS FAKE NEWS. THEY WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES...THEY'RE ANTI-AMERICAN...AND TOO MANY OF THEIR VIEWERS ARE TOO! IT'S QUITE AMAZING HOW THIS EVEN HAPPENS. WHERE HAS COMMON SENSE GONE WITH YOU CNN LOYALISTS??? CNN PUTS THEIR SHEEPLE IN A TRANSE AND THESE BRAINWASHED POOR SOULD HEAD TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO ANNOUNCE ALL THE PROPAGANDA TO EVERYONE...LOL. SAD!

I find it so disturbing that I’m gonna say this if JD Vance little man JD Vance, the guy who called himself he was in the battlefield, but he wasn’t in no battle. He was just in the battlefield cleaning boots and you know making sure his gun work and you know cleaning his helmet, but he never went outside. He never went outside and what kills me. Is people who talk like they real veterans but they did no vet. They did no vet you ain’t no vet you talked about, the guy who is running with Kamala make it seem like he lied but she was in Afghanistan or I mean Iraq or whatever you call yourself you was in a compound. I know that for fact, JD Vance was in a compound awaiting instructions to see if you were able to go out there battle you didn’t go battle you watch the convoy go in and out. You are the same people you watch in mash mash the show when everybody go outside those same people sitting inside just cleaning boots and walking around that’s what he was doing, if this guy think that you guys could do whatever is dumb let everybody know mega is dumb. I don’t care what mega wanna say you put them in front of a scoreboard and you give them testes they going to show you their dumb most mega is dumb. They’re uneducated. That’s a fact There’s no going around it uneducated OK you can see from the terrorist that’s being put in. They’re uneducated because I don’t know who that’s why when people telling you they want to bring back religion you need to bring back economics in school bro economics in school. You need to bring what really matters not not you. Let a guy who duck the army twice with foot with phony letters, I don’t know how that’s not Fraud if I was supposed to go to the army army twice wouldn’t that call for me to be investigated and be charged for fraud on phone phones shouldn’t be charged for that but you guys run around here calling out veterans and fire and veterans and JD Van saying he’s a veteran and watching the veterans go down this is why I say you put them boys back on the battlefield. I guarantee you veterans will probably put them in the back put them in the back. Yeah they probably send them out to clean the mind as you know, they used to do to the black, servicemen back in the days they used to send them off the plane knowing they was gonna die. They used to send them off the plane to clean mines knowing that they’re gonna die. They used to send them off the planes and shot them while they’re getting shot by the opposition, tell me America if I’m lying about that didn’t you do that to the black serviceman you let them jump off the plane you shot at them but those same black servicemen help us win the war it wasn’t just American white blood they died just like everybody else they died and coward faster the black servicemen help us win the war from air and ground Those Jews, the Jews they help us war to so many races that they’re not telling you that helped you win this war World War I and two America is lying to you guys and that’s what’s been the problem for decades. America is lying to the people and they won’t take acceptability But JD Von he’s gonna get the president of United States. I’d rather vote for pence I’d rather vote for the same guy you say you wanted to vote for him for president then JD Vance if we had to put vice president up there and you had a choice out of say the Democrats loss and you had a choice out of JD Vance or pence I had to choose pence, I would choose Cristi. I would choose them near my feet. It doesn’t have a name to go into. I choose my feet. I would choose somebody else’s feet then put a despicable guy like JD vans a couch hump like JD vans AAA I can’t find a white bread American apple pie woman to marry but I had to go out and use my catalog to buy a woman from out-of-state pregnant her and give her a green card JD vans hell fuck fuck noyou will never get my vote even when you die. You won’t get my vote even when they died you won’t get my vote. Good luck, sir.

Translation. I did exactly what you said before even if it made others miserable. Now you treat me like you asked me to do to others? You think I am the same as the others? Don’t you see that I am superior to them? My heart is bleeding.

One man is destroying the whole world. Making enemies with all are allies. But nothing to help the working class that are struggling. And maga is clueless they think he's a tough guy and don't even care to really fact check and see they are going to suffer the most.

Even Americans cannot make sense of this madness. ?

From Denmark ?? \nThe government in USA keeps being aggressive towards all its allies, tradepartners, neighbours, Nato, ukarine, and so on.\nUSA president creates a lot of problems for everyone, and even tries to twist facts every one beside Russia & Northkorea.\nTrumps might take US down in the dark the next 3y+\nWhile the rest of the world will work even closer together.\nSeems US want to isolate them self with other dictator stats like putin...US have there own big problems to solve, mainly with their own president & so-called puppet vice president..vance.

The world is going crazy, or I should say Trump is going crazy. There is something wrong with Trump. Republicans have to act. I can't imagine how the world will look 4 years from now.\nThe sad part is they would have to impeach both the president and vice president who might be even more dangerous. How to do that? I don't see it. The Republican party changed big time since his first term.

Come get us. Fool. You won't come over here. Tariff away on stuff we don't even import from you. ?

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

Why is trudeau even talking, nobody wants him as our prime minister. Hes a disgrace! Please leave office asap....

We don’t want to see you hurt either but the trade isn’t equal so even it out

A whole lot of yapping. This guy is not even head of state. Absolute clown show. Get Pierre in asap

Trump is a traitor he's doing this on purpose he's destroying our economy and our allies economy and he's with Putin people don't even believe what you see that's right in front of your faces he's up to no good?

Unreal!!! When even the conservative wsj is saying you're dumb........ Says alot

I wish the Divided States of America had a leader like this! Ours can’t even read.

Then even the trades out you goofy .

I love how honest he is about it being tough, while Trump lies about how costs will go down even though they won’t. It’s unfortunate so many of my fellow Americans are uneducated in politics and don’t keep up with what’s actually going on

I don’t even know any Canadians

As an American we understand why you are doing this. We strand with our allies even when our government doesn't.

Smart guy??? Trump can't even read properly. He's half illiterate.

Trump doesn’t care about anyone and anything, not even us Americans. \nHe only care about his pockets and Putin, another idiot

Canada doesn't even have an army. Wtf is going on out here.....
