Canada will lose this trade war

Canada setup a way for Americans to circumvent Trumps BULLSHIT tariffs on your country…I’d Subscribe to HELP CANADA BEAT TRUMP

Canadian here. We have no idea who this woman talking on behalf of Canada is. THank goodness we have Trudeau standing up for us.

Trump is not an Opponent of America, he has proven he is a Threat to America,........we apologize to Canada n Mexico for such a Corrupt Individual Trump is and Better Days Ahead,........!

Gran bel discorso.\nSei Grande, Canada!!!! \n??

I’m American and embarrassed by the current US government ignorance. Love for Canada

As an American... I have not spoken to a SINGLE person from my country who wants ANY part of this trade war... Or any other type of animosity with Canada. We love Canada.\n\nTrump is just trying to cause chaos and nonsense headlines on an hourly basis in order to distract from the fact that they are looting the treasury. His administration is literally set on siphoning every dollar of taxpayer money they can het their hands on. Nothing could be more obvious...\n\nJust yesterday they announced their plan to buy 5% of all crypto with our tax dollars. Because apparently rugpulling his own voters twice was not enough. He wants to rugpull the entire nation. Just like the Clinton's did to Detroit. But for the entire country. Because we have become asleep at the wheel. And will do nothing besides complain about it on Twitter. Ironic coincidence, no?

I support Canada’s decision from the US because our government is being controlled by a mad man who doesn’t care about the American people.

Canada has been slapping tariffs and restriction on US products for a long time. It's about time the US reciprocates

I'm an American and support Canada and all Canadians ?! Stand up to the incompetent and pathetic POS wannabe president derelict decrepit trump.

I’m so sorry, please pray for us ?? I’m with you Canada ?? ????

Watch trudeau speak? Yeah no thanks, just came here to comment this. Nobody should be listening to this clown except for the psychiatrist assigned to him at a mental institution. Pray for Canada, pray for the trudeau regime's collapse.

Cnn reaching.. get the hell outta here cnn go to Canada

DECOLONIZATION BEGINS CANADA WILL FALL

This is absolutely heartbreaking ? This Ohioan stands with Canada and the rest of the free world

Thanks heaven that Pierre Poilievre is not Prime Minister of Canada since he kiss trump's A$$ and repeats the same shenanigans as his beloved friend trump!

I love listening to Canada bashing us. I find it to be soothing. Maybe it's just the voice of sanity we are not hearing from our own politicians.

Good for you Canada! I’m an American but at the current moment I wish I wasn’t. I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Mexico and China. Please don’t back down at any point. If you do…orange face has won!

i live in michigan. we would love to be part of canada!

Can’t think of anything we need Canada for….. us REAL Americans are tired of all you countries leeching off of us..

go canada go! we love you canada! dump truck donald is not my president! may donald and elon fail miserably!

As an American, I am proud of you Canada!! You are showing class, integrity, and good morals. What is happening in our country is absolutely unacceptable and makes me sad. I also stand with Mexico and Ukraine.

My question is why retaliate at all? If tariffs are paid for by the country that imposes them then just let America pay the higher prices and keep imports in Canada at a lower cost. What am I missing?

Hi Canada! You have support from Minnesota❤ Your voice of reason is comforting.

I think I want to move to Canada. America is full of shit too much gun violence. Nobody cares about all the innocent children that are dying and now we have a president who wants to make everybody’s lives miserable. For all of you that voted for Trump. I hope you see the truth of what he’s about a worthless individual a narcissistic psycho make America great that is the worst saying of all time he’s making America lousy.

Love to Canada from Washington State. We don't want this either. I have been crying inside ever since Garfield staged that coup On Jan 6th, 2010. Guess what. The American courts said Garfield doesn't get Presidential Immunity for his actions on Jan 6th because he WAS NOT PRESIDENT AT THE TIME OF HIS CRIMES. Little by little . . .

We are ashamed of the current government and mad at half of the country that voted for the orange head! Apologies on behalf of the USA. We stand with Canada and Ukraine, not Trump!

Good for Canada. Viva la revolution.

So many of us Americans don't want this either. We're so frustrated and unhappy that our closest ally, Canada, is being treated this way. Thank you for recognizing it's the government and not the American people and that they're hurting us as well. ?

Putin wants to destroy US and Canada, why don’t they realize this

Justin Tredeau is such a gentleman. So intelligent. I'm sorry this is happening. I voted for Harris and am brokenhearted still. Trump isn't intelligent ?. I can tell you the vast majority of Americans cannot stand this poor excuse for a human being. I would leave the states but I am not well enough sadly. We want to get Trump and his synchophants out of the Whitehouse. Pray with us and for us that we can do this. Much love to Canada ?? ❤️.

Didn't Donald say a week or so ago that Canada did 30 times better and that border is closed. Did it collapse or something???

The Good smart thinking people in America ?? do NOT want ? Trump making bad relations with Canada ?.

What's America doing to stop their illegal flow of drugs and guns into Canada. 6-8 weeks ago, our Canadian border services seized 900kg of cocaine crossing the Detroit border!

Canada is becoming Jamaca??

What about cocaine and guns flooding into Canada from the US. Let get something done about that.

We apologize to Canada for our third rate education system that produces morons who don’t understand fear-based politics are rarely backed by facts. Use the right buzz words, crime/drugs/money and the sheep will line up every time, guaranteed.

But Trudeau the Americans from the USA are just St*p*d and they are blind they do not see the same things as you Canada and Europe see \nAmericans are really St*p*d .

I wish I could move to Canada where there are actual “rational thinking leaders”. It is so refreshing to listen to President Trudeau…he seems so sane, so even tempered and SO normal and he presents himself as a very mature thinking adult with excellent leadership, communication and motivational skills. So sad that we cannot say that about Trump and his pathetic “cult-like” followers!

Trudeau, it's because of YOU that Canada is in this position! You did all this to our country. You and your environmental scams for not letting Canada have their pipeline, you left the borders open so that fentanyl, criminals and illegal immigrants can come into the country... you constantly printed money and created the inflation before all this happened ... now don't try to cover all your mess with big words today as if you really care.

So,if Trump places Tariffs on Canada,it'll raise prices in the U.S. If Canada puts tariffs on the U.S. it will also raise prices in the U.S.?????????

If the Gov't of Canada issued citizenship to Musky, why can't the same gov't void/cancel his citizenship? Why put their people through the hassle of signing petitions?

Tariffs, sanctions, do whatever you need Canada. Let the USA feel the pain they have asked for.

Sorry Wolf this is an incredible. This is exactly what everybody in Canada and the Democrats told you was gonna happen with Donald Trump. You guys are no Walter Cronkite that’s for sure. 20:09

My curse is always for Canada

I’m an American in Florida and I didn’t vote for this.I stand with Canada and Ukraine. I am appalled at our government

It’s not your fault Trudeau. We know it’s trump’s fault. He’s a rat bastard and I didn’t vote for him. You take care of your good people. As an American citizen, I wish you were our president! I stand with Canada ?? and Ukraine!??

We all know it had nothing to do with fentanyl. It is Trump's agenda. Reading all the comments I am also proud of Canada but we need to do something about Trump! Are we just going to keep letting this happen? Him screwing us all the while his wife and buddies and himself making money for themselves??? I'm ready for the next Revolution!

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!
