O bs. Does anyone actually believe Trudeau anymore? Canada already have tariffs on US goods. Clearly they have not done enough yet on dropping these, plus fentanyl and immigration, so Trump is driving the point home.\nImposing counter-tariffs is like a monty python joke.

The real reason for Donald Trump to implement the tariffs is to force Canada to become a state of USA. period.

2. TRUDEAU IS JUST A PUPPET FOR THE GLOBAL ELITES\n\nCanadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is not defending Canada—he is defending the deep state agenda.\n\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau more upset about Trump’s tariffs than he is about China’s infiltration of Canada?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau defending globalist trade deals instead of fighting to keep Canada’s economy strong?\n? Ask yourself: Why is Trudeau suddenly trying to turn Americans against Trump right as NATO and the EU are pushing for war?\n\nBECAUSE THIS IS A COORDINATED ATTACK.\n\n? Trudeau is panicking because Trump is taking away their power.\n? Trudeau is working with the globalists to weaken America.\n? Trudeau knows his country depends on the U.S., and if America stops playing their game, Canada collapses too.\n\nThis is why he is attacking Trump, calling him “dumb” on CNN, and trying to manipulate the American people into turning against their own president.

Boohoo to you Trudeau, you and your mafia gang created this mess. Get your sh*t together, coz imho you are an abject failure here in Canada.\nTrump warned you months ago about tarrifs if you didn’t tighten up the border to stop the flow of fentanyl into the States.\nBut what has Trump done to stop the illegal flow of firearms into Canada?\nSo, strengthening the border is the responsibility of both sides.\nNow that the tariffs are on, Canada has no other option but fight back with tariffs against America…so howz it going strengthening our borders?

American products including alcohol coming off of all our shelves. Other products being moved to bottom shelves. People checking out to see where products are made. This is a reaction to tariffs and threats to annex Canada. Trump and his appointments are all gifts to Americas enemies.

Trump stopped targeting Russian hackers. The US ordered cyber command to longer monitor Russisn hackers or to go after them. \n\nTrump ends the consumer watching agency that protected the US citizens from fraud and cyber fraud and the watching general who was tasked to monitor fake money scams like some bit coins which many are dark web money payments from crooks and money laundering. I wonder who this move helped? All of the inspector generals who were looking ok not the scam artist and corporate welfare wuuen Elon Musk. \n\nI was just hearing that gas prices are going up a dollar at least tomorrow, so you had better go and fill up. it's about all any of us can do at this juncture, is my guess. The tariffs are a tax on all of us, plus the oil we used to get from Canada is now going to China or Europe. I'd tend to say you all should be thanking a Republican. Prices up in groceries? thank a Republican. Inflation going up? thank a Republican. thousands of jobs lost. Thank a republican. higher gas prices? Thank a Republican. Don’t forget, thank a Republican, the switchboard number to the House of Representatives is 202-224-3121 be sure and call and let them know what you think. thank your representatives. Firing Veterans thank a Republican. Firing the people who care for the Veterans, thank Republicans. The cascading job losses can be attributed to Trump and his tariffs and the tariff wars. Maybe it will be a depression he will cause worldwide? Thank a republican.\nRuined our government and ruined our status in the world. Thank a Republican.

This is really going to piss off Trump.\nTrudeau could have moderated his tone, he could have just said, Canada will reciprocate the tariffs.\nTrudeau will not have to face the Trump administration for too long, the next leader of Canada will have to deal with the pissed off Trump.

Trudeau doesn’t even have to announce tariffs on American good, we the people of Canada are boycotting American good. And we might no just be do this for the next 4 years but for generations of Canadians to come. Go scream at Trump and Vance not us, you did this when you voted for Trump.

1. THE REAL REASON TRUMP IMPOSED TARIFFS\n\nThe global elites hated when Trump stood up to them. Why? Because for decades, they used trade agreements to weaken the U.S., steal American jobs, and enrich foreign nations at the expense of hardworking Americans.\n\n? Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico were NEVER about war.\n? They were about fixing the disastrous trade policies that robbed America.\n? They were about holding globalist-controlled governments accountable.\n\nThe media won’t tell you that Canada and Mexico have been taking advantage of the U.S. through unfair trade deals while at the same time allowing the floodgates of illegal immigration and drugs to pour into our country.\n\t•\tCanada benefited from one-sided trade deals while standing by as China dumped goods into the U.S. through Canadian ports.\n\t•\tMexico allowed cartels to smuggle in drugs, human traffickers, and illegal immigrants, all while American jobs were shipped overseas.\n\nTrump’s tariffs were a move to put AMERICA FIRST, not an attack on our neighbors. He was forcing them to negotiate fairly—something the corrupt elites NEVER wanted.

Drama teacher is always drama teacher. Trump can place tariffs at any time. Canada must stop rely on USA for everything. Grow up! Yes, we need to reply with the tariffs as well, but stop making your drama as usual. Trudeau, go away and let Poilievre negotiate a deal with Trump. Stop wasting the Canadian taxpayers money and pretend you care. Trump is not a Russian friend. He is keeping us away from the 3rd world war. The war in Ukraine must to stop.

TRUMP TRUDEUA 2016.... Trudeau inherited a strong economy from Harper. No talk of tariffs destroying Canada. It took a decade of poor liberal leadership.. to get Canada to the point that he's right.. tariffs woudl destroy Canada. That is what a decade of liberal/democrat leadership does to Canada's economy. Trudeau is a weak leader. His strongest points were thrownig not one, not two, but THREE women, three ELECTED EXPERIENCED WOMEN... telling them to step aside. A MAN FROM WEF IS COMING THROUGH! Carney's greatest strength will be stepping over the political corpses of women so an UNELECTED INEXPERIENCED MAN can lead.

As Trump feels he has to do what he has to do, Canada has every right to respond and implement tariffs as seem fit. Canada, Mexico, and China applies pressure to Trump, he has no choice but to re-think his decision.

Trump needs to raise tariffs to 100% Fuck Canada and Mexico.

CANADIANS ARE REASONABLE, OUR PRIME MINISTER IS THE LUNATIC.\nJUSTIN WANTS TO KEEP THE WAR GOING IN UKRAINE. TRUMP WANTS IT TO END.\nJUSTIN IS A HOMICIDAL MANIAC. AS FOR A TRADE WAR, THIS IS NOT A TRADE WAR. TRUMP IS BRINGING THE WORK BACK TO NORTH AMERICA. TRUDEAU THE GLOBALIST WANTS TO KEEP MAKING A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP WEALTHY.\nWE PAID 7 % PST BEFORE FREE TRADE. 15 % AFTER.\nTHATS NOT FREE TRADE. CANADIANS NOW PAY CHINAS TARIFFS.\nMULROONEY GAVE BUSH SRS EULOGY. WHO SOLD CANADA OUT TO GLOBALISTS. THE BUSH FAMILY CHASED ROSS PEROT OFF.

Those US citizens who did not vote for tRump and we support Canada. My husband is a retired Airborne Ranger who worked cooperatively with military personnel from the UK, Canada, Germany, France, and other democratic countries around the world. We are just sick about how tRump has treated our allies. He is a bully and a draft dodging coward. We don’t blame any of our NATO allies who apply pressure through tariffs, etc to give tRump the consequences he deserves for his bad behavior. He is hurting the US country and its citizens, being cruel to their people lower income US citizens. Middle and lower class US citizens are going to be suffering under his US as he is trying to get rid of every program that helps us live with dignity. He is hurting our farmers. We know that he is a narcissistic psychopath. Most of us can’t wait until he and JD Vance are out of office, and hopefully in prison. They don’t care how many US citizens they hurt with their greedy megalomaniac agenda. We are sorry that our administration is being so unreasonable and hope you can forgive the rest of the US citizens that never wanted this situation with you and our other NATO allies.

I’m sorry that Trump is so unreasonable. Trump only cares about the income that will benefit the rich, himself and power. The tariffs will effects jobs and people. Trump is an embarrassment to most of the people here. Elon Musk help him win the election by paying people to vote for Trump which I think should be against the law. Trump is putting the USA in a very dangerous place. Most of us stand with Canada and Ukraine but no one can bring Trump to reason. I really think Trump is plain outride stupid. Please keep fighting for Canada.

RESPONSE TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP\n\nTo the American People, Mainstream Media, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Elon Musk\n\nThe mainstream media is once again spinning lies and manipulating reality to push their globalist agenda.\n\n? THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS CREATING A WAR WITH CANADA AND MEXICO.\n? THE TRUTH? TRUMP IS DEFENDING AMERICA FROM THE COLLAPSE THEY HAVE PLANNED.\n\nCNN and other media outlets are pushing a false narrative about President Trump imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico as an “attack” or “act of economic war.” This is not about war. This is about taking America back from the deep state elites who have been destroying our economy and flooding our country with illegal immigration.

Canada will not just roll over for this. They'll fight back with higher tariffs on the US. I SUPPORT CANADA. Trump is a douche bag.

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.

Trudeau is wasting his time. There are millions of Americans who support Canada and Trudeau does not need to explain anything to them. The rest of the Americans are the idiots who support Trump and they will never change their minds no matter how much they get hurt by tariffs.

Canada is not our friends. Canada have been leeching off American and putting high tariffs on our export products. Trump is simply doing reciprocal tariffs meaning same percentage tariffs Canada is doing. Stop ripping American off Canada!

Trudeau is exactly right, tRump has decided to hurt the people of the US, whether you voted for him or not. Canada is exactly right to react as they have, not just tariffs but all the boycotts they have started.\nThank you Canada for all your past support as we hope that we can return to being a good neighbor to you one day soon!

Clearly and eloquently put by Mr Trudeau - a man morally superior to Trump and also, of course, of Vance. By the way Trump, are you going to put any tariffs on Russian goods whilst they continue to attack Ukraine, or are you going to continue treating your pal Putin with kid gloves? Canada, we stand with you ?? ??

Ya buddy trudeau put carbon tax liberal stole 400m in the past 18months. So trudeau can remove that tax and keep tariffs from America. Because they protect us. Trump knows this. No1 in Canada likes liberals ?

Canadians are reasonable, so is it fair that Trudeau is increasing our carbon taxes another 20% next month? Please reason that neon double standard. He’s literally the worst PM in Canadian history. \nIn Nov 2024 the BIGGEST drug bust in Canadian history took place in BC. The amount of fentanyl alone would have killed the entire population of Canada TWICE. International cartels involved. So if it takes tariffs to make our borders safe, that’s on Trudeau, not Trump. This security should have been sorted out a long time ago.

Hopefully, the US quits giving Canada 200 billion a year in aid . This clown is trying to have Trump raise Canadians tariffs even more. Maybe close the Border .

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.

I hope Canada's retaliatory tariffs target products from Trump states. Also, listening to Trudeau reminds me how much I miss having an intelligent, articulate POTUS. Four years of The Orange Retard, then four years of Geriatric Genocide Joe, and now four more years of The Orange Retard. Why is it too much to ask that We Americans have an articulate, educated leader who's undiminished by senescence (bonus points for speaking French!)

Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken calmly the Truth of the situation, that Trump has imposed upon Canada and the USA.\nTrump does not care how much American people will Suffer, and has utter contempt for Canadians.\nThese Tariffs are Stupid and Pointless, that will do no good for Canada or the USA, and will hurt the USA the Most.

you know we americans are pathetic. throw some unwarranted tariffs against canada and it bonds all Canadians together ready to fight. take a foreign born, unelected billionaire who takes a chainsaw to our government after a reactionary think tank wrote a document saying they were going to destroy our government an create an autocracy--- a think tank composed of people who are now in the trump administration----and now we are aligning with Putin and we americans do nothing. this is sad. we are losing our country

CAnada have treated American unfair for years. So trump put a tariff tax on Canada to make it fair. Trumuea is a evil person. But Canada already know that my friends.

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.

Donald Trump’s latest 25% tariff on Canada isn’t about America—it’s about himself. Now that he’s not begging for your votes, he’s unleashed: no accountability, no loyalty to the people, just pure greed. This is a blatant betrayal of public trust—a president exploiting power to pad his pockets while burning bridges with allies. Wake up, America!.

Trump is literally a moron. People of Canada, please know that the American people do NOT support Trump or his Tariffs.

That woman saying antiamericanism as a Canadian we aren't anti anything but Trump. CNN is now not saying anything bad against Trump now they use soft language you guys used to be the good guys. For the record China has sent delegates to Ottawa about byd and taking the tariffs off the car manufacturer and there is talk about 100 percent tariff on teslas. Long live Canada Slava Ukraine from Summerland bc Canada

For the intellectually challenged President Trump is slapping these tariffs on Canada because immigrants are flying into Canada and entering the US as illegal aliens. Canada is not curbing the fentanyl entering our northern border.\nTrudeau has not shown the WH he is serious about locking down his side of the border. Maybe Canada should start there.

please... get the facts straight. The US didn't hit Canada with Tariffs.. Trump hit Canada with Tariffs. Let's be honest, without Trump this would never have happened.

And the latest from Trump now is that he is upset about Canada countering with tariffs, calling Trudeau for governor of Canada, another 51st state reference? is that he could increase the tariffs on Canada. Mr Trump, you fool, what goes around comes around.

The tariffs make sense. Putin does not want Canada and the US to prosper… and Putin has Musk and Trump.

I hate to say this because I love America when I stand with Canada in Mexico and even China to fight back against Trump and his tyranny and is tariffs and is bigotry

Trump is only charging the same amount of Tariff’s that Canada has been charging America \n If you don’t agree you are traitor to your country\n But that’s democrats for youb

Why do people still watch CNN after being lied to over and over? Didn't they tell you Hilary was winning in 2016 and then lied to you guys again about Harris leading in the polls in 2024 lol. Not sure if you guys knew but we all know there's immediate pain with these tariffs but in the long run, we should come out on top. I get you guys are emotional and don't like Trump but the reality is that USA doesn't need Mexico or Canada but they need the USA. Mexico and Canada's exports are 70-80% to the USA while we only export 13-14% to them. This means most of their economy relies on the USA and only a small of ours rely on theirs.

Those tariffs against Canada, Mexico along with the rest of the world has all the hallmarks on what Trump really wants to happen in his project 2025 game plan. American population start to feel the consequences and rise up with protests on the streets, this will then give Trump a false flag to put the military on the streets so he can then crown himself dictator of Russia Mk 2. ?

Trump announced retaliatory tariffs against Canada on Truth Social. I suspect we’ll her what they are tonight

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

Respects to Canada. The Tariffs will kill everbody in US and the trade war is beginning. Russia and China laughs about the AMERICANS have fun in future wirh your criminal Clown Name Donald Trump.

Reality is tariffs will create inflation and inflation eats the debt away, so as the world currency , trump is playing his cards well....canada's GDP is weak we must become a more productive country an cut bureaucracy...

As an American, I'm disgusted with these tariffs. Trump is definitely doing the WRONG thing here. We should be working with Canada and Mexico, not against them. It seems like Trump wants to be Putin's little Bitch.

I do hope that Canada, EU and Britain will work together, there is no reason Britain and EU cannot replace America as the main trade partners and I have seen plenty of other videos about other asian countries indicating interest in Canada's trade.\n\nBut this is much more than just tariffs, Trump has really gone off the deepend siding with Russia and undermining Ukraine, even undermining the sanctions, I wouldn't be surprised if he is already trading with Russia, using whatever bizarre pretext he chooses.\n\nThese should already be red flags to Canada, there is a long standing relationship with the UK and Ukraine, but Canada is only reacting on the tariffs, which detracts from what other action they might have taken.\n\nThe imposition of these tariffs should be the straw that breaks the camels back, I hope that if America repeals these tariffs that Canada will still diversify so that they don't ever end up in this situation again.

Trudeau resigned as prime minister because he was deeply unpopular in Canada. He proceeded to suspend parliament while President Trump threatened these Tariffs and then immediately left to Europe to posture with European leaders. He did absolutely nothing to strengthen the US/Canadian relationship while his party set about appointing (not electing) a new leader. Trudeau is an actor and a hypocrit. Do not believe anything he says. Now I don't agree with President Trump's tariffs on American allies like Canada. I don't understand the metrics he's using to justify them. Maybe there is a real reason, but this fool that you're listening to has not represented Canada faithfully and I reject everything he says.
