Let Americans pay higher prices for everything. Don't sell them any oil either, make them buy from Saudi or produce more on their own. Hell, even shut down the USCBP posts in major canadian airports. So travellers and tourists have to clear customs on American land, not in Canada.

Justin Trudeau is an egotistical, immature, childish man, who is upset as his popularity ratings are very low, and he is on his way out!

As someone who has been leaning conservative this election I fully support this decision. This not about policy and social differences. This is about standing up to a much more powerful nation that is headed by a madman. This is an act of war. We need Poilievre to stand up on behalf of the conservative party and declare their support on this matter. The only way we mitigate the blow during this economic crisis is through a unified Canada.

Keep up the good fight Mr Trudeau you’re speaking for all of us!

#NeverThe51stState

The guy that most Canadians hate is speaking for them ? As soon as he's gone how fast things get in order

He is full of shit. He is scared that we wont work with them

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

I’m an African American Female and I did not vote for Donald!! I stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Bravo

??

Spoken like a real, true leader.

Digaselo gobernador

US is a traitor country! Canada should do business with Europe to strengthen our economy and military before US starts to try destabilizing Canada and Europe! US is our new common enemy unfortunately!

BRAVO, Prime Minister Trudeau! I am AMERICAN & I concur with everything you eloquently detailed! Our government is risking alienation from our multi-generational friends and I am against our president playing this whack-a-mole game with our valued Allies! ??‍♀️

Is trump still president?..i never voted elon????

This American says God bless you Mr.Trudeau and Canada and it's citizens and fu*k little shitler. He is an absolute disgrace.

I think I might need to move he is a good Prime Minister I wish he wasn’t leaving the position. This s what a leader looks like instead of that clown we have for a president .

Don't forget that only REPUBLICANS supported and supporting donald trump not all AMERICANS. So if all that Americans and majority of Europe, CANADA,MEXICO and THE UK will unite it will be a very strong allies.

This is the type of comment section I would expect from a CNN post ?

Trump has no clue WTF he is doing. Just an idiot!

Trump is having an ego trip, doing crazy things just because he can…. And the rest of the world is either laughing, or worrying.

Impeach Trump! We love you Canada!

Trudeau directly addressed Trump in his blistering speech, delivering a strong message. This shows that tensions between the two leaders remain high

Shut up gay man

Most of what the U.S. sent to Ukraine was a GRANT that doesn't need to be repaid. A LOAN does with interest. The stats don't lie! The EU loaned nearly all funds sent.

China and Canada stand up in front of bully, while Mexico remained silent

No one wants to be a American here there nuts shame o. You Republicans and in the end you will be out of office you. Don't belong there free trade is the best trade Canada Americans are on your side corruption has taken power here

It is what it is at this point ?‍♂️ it burns a lil when you first clean a wound but it always comes back stronger

As an American, I'm with Canada and Ukraine. Trump does not speak for all of us.

That’s old news reposted what’s going on???

Thank you for the truth!!

CANADIAN-AMERICAN FROM SEATTLE WASHINGTON… DEFINITELY STAND WITH YOU CANADA!!!! My Mother born and raised in Calgary, AND Edmonton is rolling over in her grave! The 80 years she lived in 1/2 of each country, made us proud to be BOTH. If she was alive today- she’d be CUSSING OUT THE US rn!

you idiot american tv hosts are laughing about it oh dumb donald tanking the stock market until the security guy comes on like wtf are we doing? and you guys just still nervously laugh it off oh this is serious \n\n\nwait and see how serious it gets

Bcuz The Friends Wacked The USA ?? For Years Let’s Not Talk Abt What’s Fair Or Not!??

Ole Donald Duck dun hooked up a truck and f’ed up. Your hate is gonna be the weight to break the back of the camel ???dumb dummy

As a Kamala voter and as an American who loves Canada, I apologize for the hideous manner in which my government is treating our neighbor and ally. I will be protesting and doing what I can to stop Trump and Musk from destroying our democracy and our friendships around the world. I wish Canada all the prosperity and health possible in the future and I hope someday you will be able to forgive our nation for the damage that the idiots running this country are causing for you and many other of our allies as well, with their ignorant tariffs and bullying tactics. Someone needs to punch Trump in the nose, good and hard, so he knows that not everyone will back down when one acts like a pushy jerk. He is not a strong man, he is a lily livered, weak willed, draft dodger who just happened to be born to a wealthy father. Best of luck! We will miss you by our side . . . . ???☮

I stand with the World, I stand with the people of Canada, Mexico, China, Russia, kind people, helpless people who have no choice but to live in a country of dictatorship. I stand with Humanity ❤ I don't support Trump

Raising tarifs is going to cost the american people idiot

I am Canadian and conservative. It is sad to see that the Western world can no longer see the US as a reliable and trustworthy ally. I hurt just writing this. I hope conservative Americans will wake up and see that they were mislead and that Trump is a dictator in the making.

Americans should travel to Canada to boost tourism there. Spring is a wonderful time. Canada must be visa free country for Americans who want to move there!

AMEN Trudeau tell the truth about our new Government not doing the right thing for us Americans. Thank you for saying the truth.

Thank you sir, you are a gentleman.

Canadian here. Thanks for all your support. We are very worried. We want to keep our jobs, our businesses, our investments.\n\nI know friends that are crying because they are looking for work and everyone is scared to hire.\n\nWe fought alongside you. We have supported you. We share the same judeo - Christian values.\n\nIt’s a very scary time for us. Perhaps we have been spoiled by having a good friend. It stings and I’m scared for my future

Canada will have to respond more forcefully, as the US seeks to gain the upper hand in negotiations by hitting its biggest trading partners (Canada and China) first and then threatening other fraternal countries (smaller trading partners).

When they put tariffs on us it's okay when we put it on them it's War

Go Canada! ??. What an amazing, beautiful, proud country you are! ? show “Donald ?” that you mean business ?.

the canadian governor is starting too act up again ??

I find it particularly effective that Canada is focusing on red state America. Kentucky alcohol is just one example. Prime Minister Trudeau is also targeting those issues that they can most effectively respond, like electricity in the norther tier, LNG (shifting to EU). Trump is screwing over our closest and greatest allies, in deference to Putin, a war criminal.

A little too proactive the dear Trump. Unfortunately.
