my family came to BC in 1958

Go somewhere else. It’s that easy. Have family down there? Rent an air b and b somewhere else and have a great time.

I am so sorry to my Canadian friends and family 🇨🇦

As an American I am afraid of my government. Our future is bleak and uncertain. I can not do anything due to me being 1 person. I am 1 voice, but no one wants to protest, instead people want to sit and accept it. I do not want this, and I struggle because of the political BS because people are stupid. I do not have the money to relocate my family or I would. This has become a sad and dark part of US history.\nThese tariffs were a result of Ukraine and Trump having an ego trip. Nothing less.\nI will always support my fellow Americans, but there's only so much I will support. I will always support Ukraine Canada and Mexico.

Gee…what a surprise! ….NOT! \nThe most toxic person in the world who LOVES to create chaos & division has stirred up a bees nest in countries all around the world. That’s what Trump does. Chaos, division, hard feelings & bitterness are his forté. \nThat’s the leader America has chosen over someone with common sense, intelligence, & who would have tried to unite the American ppl & create an economy that would be stable & help the majority of Americans because Kamala IS like the majority of Americans. She understands the struggle of trying to making a living when you’re not born into wealth like Trump was.\nHe can’t relate to the struggles of the average American family trying to earn enough to provide for their families. He’s never known that struggle. \nAnd why should he care if he causes ppl on both sides of the border to lose jobs, & consequently lose their homes? He’s rich. He can afford the higher costs of everything in both countries that he is initiating. He chose this trade war because he wants to take over Canada. \nWhat is wrong with Americans who thought voting him in AGAIN was a great idea over the common sense & economic stability Kamala Harris offered? He TOLD you he was going to do this. \nYou ppl who voted for him KNEW his past history. He’s a proven liar, a cheat, a fraud, a scammer, a sexist, a predator of vulnerable women, & a convicted felon..\nAnd more than anything else, he’s a BULLY! He uses his words with his bull horn & public media to speak against anyone who opposes him to try to subtly motivate his MAGA hounds to attack the ppl & their families that actually tell the truth about him. And then he steps aside & waits for his minions to respond & acts totally innocent as if he is not responsible because he did not directly tell them to go after the ppl he very purposely speaks hostile about. WAKE UP! He IS responsible because he knows very well his words have power to influence ppl to take action. \nAnd too many cowards in the Supreme Court & Republican party including his own VP Mike Pence were all too afraid to speak up against him. \nIf the majority of Americans want such a toxic person for leader, that’s America’s poor choice but Canada wants NO PART in his BS.\nHands off Canada because we WILL stand united & will support our governments efforts & the efforts of other Canadians to withstand against Trump’s bullying tactics.\nBUY CANADIAN!

Canada and america are family!!! We cant let the government pull some bull like this!!!!

??? it’s so interesting being able to see things in a different perspective. I’m so glad Trump became the president again. My family’s wealth has tripled in just 24 hours. It’s beautiful. This is only the beginning ???

If you efect you. He efect me . too even my family living right there. Believe or not

Canada should be part of European Union. We're family, friends, and allies. ??????‍?‍?

Crazy canada cares more about our families more than the president does...

Wow, Trump is making some huge progress for the USA, in less than a month he has upset more countries, of which were mostly allies of America, and turned them into anti Americans and all in less than a month, and he calls that progress into making America great again .. maga ? Really or maybe it stands for making a globe angry. There’s only a very small handful of people that actually like Trump, that’s his family (debatable) JD (his puppet) and Putin (his new ally) wow America what have you done ??

Americans really love Canadians. You are our family. Most of us don”t understand Trump”s plan either! We are sorry! Don”t give up on us please.

There is no chance our family is heading to LA this year to take our kids to Disneyland as we had anticipated. The place is turning into a shit show.

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

My family left Canada in the 1920s after fleeing slavery in the US. Any chance we can come back??

My family has been in America before it was the United States ( since 1738 ). The person that was elected our president is an embarrassment to us and our friends. We stand with Canada and Ukraine.

A lovely family

The US is isolating itself from the world. It is indeed the strongest and the richest country. But the decisions, the current admin has made will damage the United States. Specifically the people of the estates with or without knowing, they will pay for the cost caused by the wrong decision made by MAGA. This is really sad to see how they divide themselves and the world. Only a few of idiots has gotten so much power to harm normal people who are only interested in living a peace and happy life with loved ones or their own family but now their suffer just started.

Trudeau. On CNN giving a speech because no one in Canada cares to listen to him anymore. \nTrudeau, giving a masterclass in pompous posing and self importance in front of the cameras. \nTrudeau, a Zero's Hero! \nTrudeau, the 3 time blackface wearing semi-whiteboy champion of Multiculturism. \nTrudeau- Defender of Woman's rights!!- until you disagree and he throws you under the bus. Trudeau, a man's man! A ham's ham!! He is Justin Trudeau! \nTrudeau is the kind of guy that wakes up the entire family to let them know he's going to bed...

I'm a European who has been living in Canada for a while. I want to join the Canadian Army because I can see that some shit is coming, and I am ready to fight for Canada, just as my family fought in the Second World War in Europe.

Please dont stand with canada, canada deserves the 25 percent of tariff, should be more than 25 percent, even 50 percent, trudeau need to go, destroyed my family

Trump could careless his pockets run deep his family is set for life. We the people are the ones that are gonna feel the burden. Yet there are those that believe he is doing the right thing it’s sad to see how unprofessional our government is at this time and age

The queer thing is that Trump doesn't even care about his own family let alone victims to fentanyl. He doesn't give a shit about people dying from fentanyl so what's his agenda? There is none. He's a school yard bully just throwing his weight around , all 3 tonnes of it

This is not anti-American, it is just fighting back from an unnecessary trade war. It does however break my heart because many Canadians have family on the U.S. side. I know it would also break my father’s heart as he grew up in New England and had a lifetime affection for the U.S. I despise politics and have not been a proud Canadian for a few years but I have to admit that this speech is getting me going again. Canada needs to get its act together and rebuild its military, not to fend off the U.S. but to hold its own should other countries decide we are ripe for the picking. I want U.S.-Canada relations to be tight again. We’re neighbor. We will have our disagreements and that’s fine but these trade wars will hurt everyone and, if it lasts, may leave lasting grievances.

One side of my family fought with George Washington at the Battle of Monmouth. I am registered member of a federally recognized Native American tribe. \n\nI stand with Canada .?? \n\nAmerica has lost its way.

Just cancelled my family holiday to Florida,may as well visit Toronto instead.

The US Citizens Are with you Canada!! ?? \nI have family in Canada and my family is Canadian French. Canada has ALWAYS BEEN AN AMAZING COUNTRY COMPARED TO OURS IN THE USA!! We are with you in this one Canada!! ??

Americans are our family and friends

Historically, tariffs have been imposed to support production of American goods. Think cotton, steel, other raw materials the U.S. used to produce in past centuries. For the past several decades, America has not produced many raw materials because it's cheaper to buy them from countries who can pay their workers less to keep the cost of production low. It's impossible to quickly begin producing these things here, so Trumplethinskin's tariffs will do nothing but piss off our trading partners and dramatically increase the prices Americans pay for a long list of essential goods. I see a major recession coming soon. If your goal was to close American car plants because the parts are too expensive and make it impossible for U.S. citizens to afford to feed their families, you've achieved it, King Donald ?

Can someone please tell Trump Canada is our friend. They have given lives in our wars. They are going to find other customers for their oil while our auto industry will be trashed. They will find other countries to buy their lumber while the cost of building American homes soars. It will be easy for Canada, Mexico and China to come out ahead in this trade war. Trump’s understanding of economics and international trade is at the sixth grade level- and not a very bright sixth grader. Finally where is Trumps plan to protect American families and workers? Where is the national resolve to work together to get through this?

Who benefits from this? him! he gets to blame Canada when American prices go up and his supporters will not need or want to hear the truth, they'll be willfully ignorant. If he genuinly admires Putin he'd love nothing more than a Belarus of his own to compare notes with at their little bromance dates! Sad thing is im not trying to make any kind of joke, i really believe he would love that\n\nI'm in UK. Stay strong Canada we love you. Swapping OUT any US products i Possibly can (family too). Also going to look for and swap IN any Canadian produts we can \n\ni cant find emoji flag on this keyboard but imagine Many Canadian flags, hearts a Welsh flag a Union Jack and even more Canadian

I feel sorry for al the employees and families in America and around the world that are going to lose jobs.. Trump Vance Rubio Musk spoilt brats won't care sitting back in thier multi million dollar houses and mansions..

They cant put chains on peoples hands they chain people up with debt and brake peoples backs with f k n taxes. They dont realize if you give more people spend more because they want to buy things for family and be happy thats how production is. Give and take. Comunist a s s holes.

You gave free drugs to Canadians you destroyed Canadian families USA's population is way too big to worry about all Canadian products

MR PM if this is going to be tough and we will all pull together to overcome this, kindly stop raping our income with exorbitant taxes. Tell your provincial PMs to back off and help families. Let those who earn money to support their families and well being, KEEP most of their money. Don't claim it to serve bureaucratic procedures and policies that are inefficient and don't benefit Canadians.

I will miss my Prime Minister Trudeau. He speaks for me, and I know, many others . . . .we aren't interested in buying American goods. We aren't interested in visiting the states. We are focused, at this point, on our own economy. In the last month I have discovered a few gems, produced by local businesses within 100 miles of where I live. Healthier for my family, healthier for my economy. More expensive, yah, a little. But in the long run, it will make us a stronger economy, a stronger nation.

Mexico and my whole family is with you Canada, from Phoenix, Az.!!!! ?????? trump!!

Justin, my family and I are dismayed my our neighbors here in the US that voted for the DONALD. Can we bring our talents & wealth to Canada?? We are college educated & ready to be a part of a society with stronger values than the new America.

People have the right idea of talking to trump directly and make it clear that he just took sides with Russia over his allies in democracy and freedom,something that no other president would do allow a dictator to invade a country and blackmail the country that is being invaded just for it mineral and don’t have a statement of giving help. I don’t respect trump or his family they are standing by his side as he destroys the country what kind of people are they are they that corrupt the whole family is willing let their father or let her husband do what he doing without saying anything to stop the corruption.

Question; is Trump’s family tree Russian ? I’m trying to figure out Trumps love affair with Putin ?\nCanadians are strong and will pull together as one. When things get tough we step up. We have done this many times when other countries were in need of help, Canadians step up. Now we will step up, and help our country.

All this crap about Fentanyl is a joke. What about the Sackler family and oxycotin??? What about that cost to the American people?!! They still haven’t paid out.\n\nThis fentanyl trafficking is a front.. \n\nYou know you’re dealing with a cluster b nightmare when… if u think about them you become enraged and your blood boils

The Republicans stronghold New York against the Justin Toxic weak French Trudeau reduce trade from Quebec French Quebec mafia and 6 Italy mafia families in Quebec and schemes organized crime Montreal Port Quebec smuggling.

This isn't the 1800s... the world CAN and WILL trade around us. We will be North Korea. Of my family suffers so will MAGAs that voted for this administration. No quarter.

i know PRIME MINISTER I AM THINKING ABOUT MOVING TO CANADA I LOVE Y'ALL AND HAVE FAMILY THERE

Justin knows all about policies that raise costs on essentials, harm national security, and impede access to natural resources, and harm families. he's been doing it for years. When he says we are all going to pull together he means he is going to raise taxes.

When Trump became president on the first term my family all went and got their passports so in case we needed to flee the United States to Canada.

trump doesn't care, he duped his followers and now hes free to plunder the us and fill his rich friends and families pockets

If I didn't have commitments and family here in the US, I'd move to Canada

Trafis = taxes. Trump is rising taxes, causing inflation, recession. Trump is the greatest crook. USA has to stop Trump. Americans are the 1 st victim of trump. He is making himself, musk, zuckerberg and all the mega rich more rich.\nThe normal American will be working slave to the neo nazi trump regime. A convicted crook, cheated on every wife he got, a pirate, a bully without friends. He is a low life. Vance a guy with colored hair and eyeliner, looks all the time like is is being potty trained .\nTrump got no deal with Putin. Putin does not listen to trump. It is a bluff. Trump is as bad as Putin. He is only interested to exploid Ukraine. \nAmericans you have to fight your worst and \n# 1enemy = trump and his boot lickers = neo nazis. The longer you wait, the more american families, veterans, economy, jobs have to suffer. Trup has no respect for Great Britain. He only would have liked to get his hands on the late Queens juwels.

Minimum paid worker's and families in u.s are more like slaves in u.s especially now with inflation, eggs alone 10.00 for 12 eggs, tariffs are charged also to u.s citizens based on greed, power , and control.
