There are parts of the USA where Hispanics can live without speaking English and servicing their own :for example in Miami ,Florida .

Make canada part of usa. All issues solved

The reason Canadians elected a part-time drama teacher with no political acumen as their prime minister displays their level of incomprehension. And now this part time drama teacher is challenging the USA. Yet again another way of diverting attention away from all of the money he has taken from the Canadian people. But he wants to look nice in front of his globalist masters

Make it expensive to import, and the businesses will have to operate in US, if not they have to forgo the American market. Now the issue is, is the current US companies able to fill the vacuums, and if the capitalism business owner willing to stay with Canadian, or they will redeploy part of their operation to USA, and sack Canadian workers? Will there be a race?

Great speech. I hope the respectable part of the world will not give in to the ill that´s going on in the USA

Canada is not the USA it is part of something much greater it is called the Commonwealth the United States may be failing it's empire declining because of one man I am Australian two countries you can always count on and they are the United Kingdom and Australia

We, the people, don't have free education, many students own loans from universities.\nWe can not buy houses, and no programs help us.\nWe (USA)have a lot of homeless, criminals, people with mental health, PEOPLE ADDICTIVE TO HEAVY DRUGS, plus the alcohol, weed, cigarettes, undecated young people, 30 percent only have a banchelors degree the 70 percent in the whole country don't have university education and not counting young people getting pregnant with toxic partners and their kids repeat the same poisonous life affecting their generations touching lives in a bad way.\nUSA has a lot of potholes in the roads, our foods have over 300 harmful chemicals to harm our health, the health system sucks, education is low teacher teach with youtube and are lazy to teach, educational system is super slow to process student classes or to advice them they make a mess in the documentation of the payments or financial aid, we have to baby sit the educational system to do their jobs and get things done, the food so expensive the egg, milk, vegetable, fruits, gas so expensive it never went down we still paying in LA 5 dollar per gallon to 6.50.\nUSA RENT are for the roofs some states do not even have rental control student loans kill people with HIGH INTEREST THEY GO AFTER YOUR HOME CAR TAXES .\nthe government is not to serve it wants the we the people serve the government.\ngovernment uses our taxes for their personal investment and we the people pay for it.\nThe USA government gives bread crumbs to its own citizens, what can other countries expect from it? The worst part is that most citizens are blind, and we need to wake up and make the government do its job instead of putting our tax money in their pockets.\ncountries need to look for their people but sadly the governments use their people very few are have justice and education.\nUSA say they help but they beat up the ones that are down and take advantages of countries that are in war USA exploit them is an investment not help USA always gets more of the double of what they help invest in countries like congo or eukrania USA want the minerals,land of eukrania and the diamond, land and resources of africa.

Mr Trudeau, first time I’ve seen you give an intelligent speech. But as I see it, you have been bad overall for the country of Canada. Why don’t you accept Donald’s offer to be the 51st state of America? After all, as I understand it, Canada lives off the USA as it is. Why not be a part of something greater?

I work at an auto assembly plant in Michigan. There should be no tariffs on imported auto parts for a few years in order for the automakers to have time to set up shop in the USA. Tariffs on food and drink shouldn't exist.

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

People from the USA will pay the price for all this but Trump doesn't care because he considers them as slaves to him and his rich friends. As for Vance and his comment about war... Hey Vancy boy...wnaan talk about war? Really? USA got his arse kicked in Vietnam, Modagishu, Irak and Afghanistan. The only war they had some success with was against the weak Germans during WWII and they would have never been able to do it without the Russians. And let's not forget that they almost got defeated a few days after D-Day. This, because of..... bogs! So get here Vancy boy and you'll see what Canadians are capable of. Besides that, you need us more than we need you and you automobile's economy (among many others) is going to crash just because of you and Trump. No more electricity for you, no no more gas, no more oil, no more lumber, no more aluminum, no more alcohol sales and the worst part...no more maple syrup! Besides that, almost everything sold by the USA is coming from China, so why bother buying from the USA when we can buy the same for cheaper?

have you seen the youtube videos of canadians saying that they didn't mind being part of the usa. Because Trudeau were so incompetent

If you are Canadian, you should work hard to get South African Elon *'apartheid'* Musk's Canadian citizenship revoked. \n\nHis crimes:\nHe is actively working against Canada's national interests as well as being part of a foreign government (USA) that is trying to wipe out Canada's sovereignty .\nAnd \n*Keep boycotting X and Tesla*\n\n.

The United States is BANKRUPT! That is the only reason that makes sense why Trump needs tariffs on product from other countries (Trump Needs to have his people buy American). The USA needs all the money spent on themselves rather than on foreign products. This is also why Trump is pulling a Putin by trying to invade friendly countries, Even this action is to try to force Canada to become part of the United States so that they will own and Control our natural resources. The thing that the USA forgets is Canadians are Proud and Resistant to threats. We will remember this for a long time and even if this ILLEGAL ACTION works you will gain 40 MILLION TERRORISTS Hell bent on killing all Americans!

The Tariffs are a part of the long game. Bring jobs back the the US. Buy Made in the USA.

Hey Canada/Trudeau if you don’t want the tariffs from President Trump then remove your limiting factors on American goods to equal the playing field! Maybe these tariffs and our President may finally get you to allow into Canada as much as we do into the USA! Trying to play a game of tariff against President Trump will not do Canadians any good. This is part of the reason you won’t be the tyrant dictator you once enjoyed being. Not to mention the Canadian government should be doing a lot better on stopping the cartels and their POS fentanyl from coming into their country as well as across into the US!

Canada suckled off usa tit forever....detach, grow up, pay your dues, become part of our states

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

Y'all Canada going to put tariffs on USA really y'all still dnt get it right you dumb Canadian Trudeau the reason Trump put a tariffs again let me explain myself it's because of Cartel's for stoping crossing fentanyl from your border if you dnt stop from y'all part of the bargain of letting Cartel's crossing drugs n trafficking from ur country to USA country ok

As a Brazilian, i don't know why Canadians are still trying tho deal with America. It's clearly not a democratic government. Brazil and Canada has dealt for so long, it's time to increase this. Brazil is part of BRICS countries, but it doesn't mean it's not democrat. Why Canadians keep thinking about EU and EUA? So many things have happened and Brazil is now a strong partner. We support Canada against this betray of USA. We have been considered as USA backyard. But that is past. We did it, and now we are strong. Canada needs to open it's eyes to some other better future.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

President Trump and you need to work it all out. As far as blanket tariffs go, I do agree that your goods and services, including tariffs should be mutually broken down to create benefits for all. Part of my lineage is from Quebec, and here USA. We all need to help each other. Laser focus to arrest and put in prison all drug terrorists should be everyone's focus. The wars elsewhere are sidetracking the two of you from standing side by side with one another, as you mention you usually do. Two friends, two parallel united goals, yet I do agree, again, that you said an enemy would rather divide you two than to see you both Triumph over evil! So PM Trudeau, get on the phone with President Donald, and the two of you tackle it out, include a .PPT write-up with solutions that both of you know is good overall, both instant, immediate and longer term. May God's Holy Hands be upon you and surround you, with the love of my Savior, Christ Jesus! Thank you! I love you all.

Canada is absolutely right and I’m embarrassed to be a part of USA

Be part of the USA and no tax

I live in Nashville, TN USA. I am so sorry Canada is suffering due to Trump. I do not support this move on Trump's part. I never voted for him. I have known for many years he is a dangerous narcissist. Canada is our friend. You have come to our aide in times of trouble. Our forest fires, 911 when the planes hit our twin towers. Trump wants a 4.5 Trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy. He sees tariffs as a way to make up some of that money alone with huge budget cuts to many of our programs. Trump is an unreasonable person who only thinks about himself. I hope he will eventually be impeached. I do not blame Canada. I blame Donald Trump and the the Republican Congress. This is a coupe going down in our country and it is sad to watch. Take good care.

The bad part is, the Ukraine, Mexico, and Canada think that WE ALL side with the behaviors of a president of the USA and treat us ALL like we are in support\n\n\n\nONLY MAGA white supremacists are raising pitchforks and making lunch mobs against any non white, or non American

We should never have ....all this happen with bill Clinton.... USA.... accept production Canada ...mexico....part of bill Clinton... USA should stop any production Canada....see who got lose........all this trades happen with bill Clinton........zero. Production come from Canada.....I don't care.....any about Canada...... USA have tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo destriction...in production from Canada ....mexico.......they know stupid Justin.......canada don't him no more .....canada have homeless in drug's........stupid Justin

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

Canada is part of usa\n\n51 State of usa

This action is part of a Bigger plan that we dont know about, but maybe, this is only PART ONE of things to be added onto Canada and force them to be sold/given to the USA and become The 51st State of The United States. #CanWeAllJustGetAlong

USA bet you wish you were still a part of GB and therefore a Constitutional Monarchy instead of a dead democracy hahahahahahahahahahahahahahha

the worst part of this show “commercial war” is that voters in USA are the ones who elected for trump & nazi’s psychopaths!! to feed their love to racism, they are sick & blind…. So does not matter what explanation you have to show how wrong they are, nothing works in sick twisted minds of nazis, they are fed with vile & hate , they don’t care if they look bad, of if they sink their own country with them.

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

Real American, American with dignity ans decendcy need to get the orange traitor in chief out of THEIR WH before the usa becomes a part of soviet union.

Trump said Canada is part of USA,this one among future state(s) to USA.The World is watching

TRUMP wants to join BRICS instead of being a part of our G7 allies. Trump is being generous with our opposing competitors and callous with our USA allies. It is simply betrayal because he thinks he has found a better set of allies with Russia, China, etc.

Trump is doing this to make Canada and Mexico fold so they become part of the USA. Trump is trying to expand the US without an actual war but by weakening there economy so Trump can hostile take over there country

How does it feel being a Russian puppet state USA? Ask your president what sort of blackmail video Putin has of him with ladies of the night. Anora part II ?

Canada has been part of a family with the USA for decades, and to see it all in jeopardy now is appalling. \nNeed I remind our governance here in the US that CANADA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEVERAL ARTICLES OF THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS (and not because they drafted the resolutions!)?? \nBottom line is Trump is causing a worldwide upheaval that is going to completely realign the power and economies of EVERY nation on earth, and the US is not going to fare well. \nPathetic.

American please wake up\nYou as people and a nation are by all means are the victims of an international plot led by Russia .....\nTrump is not naive nor compromise, he is part of plot to isolate the USA from the world and put under complete chaos

Trudeau has not been an USA friend in years. Perhaps a friendly acquaintance and part time(when its a far left issue) alloy. Isn't he gone?? You are NO FRIEND of mine.

The part that you people don't understand not to be rude. Donald has a mental illness. He's hurting his own USA people and he wants to be a DICTATOR! He wants to take the medical and food away from disabled. Poor people who does that. Only a mentally ill dictator. I could go on forever. I support Canada 100% and I'm very sorry but it's not going to change anything.

?As a USA citizen, I'm ashamed.\nI stand with this message. \nI am part of those who will suffer a homebound SSI disabled poor American. I worked all my life since I was 14 years old. Most times, 2 jobs at a time, for nothing.\n? Godspeed to us all. We need it.

Stupid prime minister, he can't do anything to USA ,better Canada become part USA as 51th state ,Canada is filled up terrorist activity and all evil has filled near USA ,which now USA understood better trudo understood that you are nothing, ❤

Make no mistake, Canada faces an existential threat in Trump. Trump has accomplished the normalization of lies such that he can lie about Canada to justify what he does. And many millions in the USA believe him. just like the victim blaming of Ukraine. Trudeau is right that Trump is intent on weakening us and i would add: along the way creating false pretext for coming in and “saving” us from our tyrannical and dangerous government. validating Russian behaviour where might makes right is part of the process for validating his expansionist goals. He will no doubt claim “nasty” Canadian behaviour like “Canadians are killing Americans by not doing enough on fentanyl” and that Trudeau calling him Donald is “unforgivable”. And all the lies will appeal to his base and justify Annexation. It has come to that

As a citizen of the US, I never would have dreamed that my country would have become part of an axis of evil with Russia and North Korea. But I will stand with our Canadian friends and the rest of our allies and do what I can to rid our government of these ignorant fascist criminals. And I hope that someday in the future our allies will be able to trust the USA once again.

Now can someone get the tRump to commit to stopping the cocaine from coming into Canada from the USA? Or how about the guns? It's a 2 way street here. We are doing our part, now you do yours. Keep your drugs and guns on your side of the border. Most crimes involving guns here are committed using American guns.
