As a ex Marine, I do not agree with this move by our government . I did not vote for this dumb move . I have family and freinds in Canada. I grew up spending much of my younger days in Canada , camping and exploring. I do not agree with this move at all! Sorry Canada!

American and North Dakota resident here. Ashamed and embarrassed to even be associated with the US and the heinous actions of our government. Stay strong Canada. We are with you! ????\n\nAlso…. While we’re at it — Any chance you guys have room for one more?? ??\n\nPls?? \n\n…For the LaHve of GawEd??\n\nh a L p. ?

What a douche. Canada is done. Trump is right, and we will WIN!

made in America will have no tariffs, have a good life Canada!

I stand with you Canada. I did not vote for this

Americans people, please don't fall for this scumbag, part time drama teacher's fancy words, he is one made Canada weak and vulnerable with his wako woke policies . So called progressive but admires basic dictatorship

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

Mr. Trudeau, I salute you and your very bold speech. Let us stand together Canada and Europe, I salute you Mr. Trudeau....???

I am moving to canada soon this is crazy I stand with canada?

As an American, I find it insane that we are picking a fight with Canada. As far as I’m concerned, Canada, Australia and the UK are extended family. You don’t disrespect and threaten family like this.

Patriotic American here. My government no longer represents me, my interests or my ideals. Thank you PM Trudeau for speaking up. Thank you Canada for being strong and decent people.

Kick uline out of Canada now!

From France ?? we side with the righteous and our Canadian brothers, but also with our American friends victim of the madman! \nWell said, and well done Canada! Enough with the orange tyrant! ✌?

This American stands with Canada ?? Best neighbor any country could hope to have. God bless Canada and may God help us all…

i live in canada and i hate this girl

Dear Canada and Mexico,Ukraine,China, and everybody else he shits on-\nDonnie Dump does not speak for most Americans, We love and respect people-

The fool wants tarrifs, Canada. There's just nothing you can do. Nothing you'll put in place will be enough. What they're asking is only excuses.

I'm not rooting for Canada versus the US, my home country. I'm rooting for Canada versus Trump.

I hope California gets adopted by Canada. I'm so down.

Hundreds of millions of us are against this. We wish for a president like him, we tried so hard to make the other half understand they're being lied to. We are on your side, Canada, were on Ukraine's side, and we are embarrassed, repulsed, and pretty terrified.

I’m Canadian and loved PM Trudeau’s response to the tariffs. Thank you to all the countries throughout the world who have expressed their support for Canada. Vive le Canada ???

Canada will find other markets for their products and the US will have to scramble. This is such a stupid, stupid shame. Stupid people voting for stupid leaders doing stupid things. I'm sorry, Canada.

Japanese here. We are disgusted by the monster and stand with Canada too. Stay strong!!

Thank you! This is how a leader should speak and act!!! I am on your side Canada. I am so disgusted with our so called “leader” and government. I, along with many others, did not vote for this despicable idiot called Donald Trump.

Well done Canada! I’m with you!

as a Canada born...please piss off Trumpy to the extreme so he WILL invade Canada. Thank You Gov Turdeau .??????????

This guy is so weak. Don't he know that we Americans don't need Canada to survive. We are Americans not Canadians we vote for Trump not this dude. He should only address the Citizens of Canada. Americans are listening to his propaganda, some old jargon, business as usual conversation. America first!

I will still buy Canadian products. If I can pay more for eggs, I can buy the wonderful produce and other products from Canada. This really is a dumb thing Trump has done. I hope something happens to undo what has happened.

As a American I find the actions of Vladimir Trump absolutely disgusting! I didn't vote for that scumbag! I live right across the st Lawrence river from Canada and I love that country as well!!!

Canada is VERY welcome to trade with Europe.

Mmm, how come he didn't mention the tariffs on Canadian goods sold in America that Canada has been charging Americans for a long time? What's good for the goose is not good for the gander!

I thought Canada and the USA got along with each other. Jeeze

Trump should maybe rethink things with Canada...

The US seems hell bent on destroying itself. So many people are going to lose their jobs as the US economy goes into freefall. If Trump imposes higher tariffs on Europe too, we'll respond in exactly the same way as Canada.

I’m with you Canada. I’m an American, but I do not agree with our present leadership. They are absolutely horrible.\n\nWay to stand strong Canada \n????

Bravo Canada and I’m sorry our so called President and his minions are so very ignorant.

Trump picking a fight with both his neighbors while his own house is burning down. No matter what Trump does Canada will stand strong and we will fight for our country. ?????????

You want to stop the fentanyl flow? Stop its addiction in the United States. I’m from Washington State and am fully behind Canada and love my brothers and sisters to the north.

Pull all funding from Canada

could you imagine what the men of your country will become when the leadership of your country is as soft as this man. No thanks Canada. This guy has sabotaged your country

Fentanyl has being coming into the US through Canada and the Mexican border. Young Americans are paying the price by becoming addicted and dying. Why don't you talk about that Mr. Prime minister ???

Trudeau is a despicable little shit. He has destroyed Canada

So people in the administration says that if Canada actually decreases the amount of Fentanyl coming across the border things may change? Last year 19 kg were seized at the Canadian border, if they decrease that to 15, will that be enough? It’s such massive bullshit an nothing about it makes sense. The only way to make sense of Trump’s “diplomacy” is if he’s being paid directly by Russia and China.

This is about more than the fentanyl. This is about Canada not pulling their own weight when it comes to defensive spending, this is about getting them to allow Us manufacturered cars into their markets, this is about convincing Canadian companies to build factories in the US… etc Trumps tariffs are creating hundreds of billions, soon to be trillions of dollars worth of investments into our market. We hold the largest market in the world. We hold the power here, not Canada. And bitching about relations with our allies isn’t going to sway conservative voters come the next election. When we win this “trade war” something tells me CNN will whine about how we won it instead of giving credit to the current administration for doing better by our citizens.

I live in Maine on the border with Canada and im absolutely ashamed at what trump is doing. Canada is an incredible country and a great ally to the US, and this entire thing that trump is doing is reprehensible. It would be an improvement to have a leader like Trudeau who can actually get a point across.

Canada sucks?

What trump is doing is sheer hurtful lunacy. He’s just bullying. Why? Some republican sanewasher said on CNN Taiwan was building a chip factory in America because of tariffs. That’s bs. It will take YEARS for industries to move to America because of tariffs. And there’s just no need. Wonder if trumps new hairdo is hiding horns because he is doing evil, hurtful stuff and helping nobody but the rich. LOVE YA CANADA!!

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Bully Trump wants to annex Canada. I stand with Canada and Mexico.

if a country with a net deficit puts 25% tariffs on the net credit trader, and the net credit puts on 25%, the net deficit profits substantially overall, they collect more tariffs, consumers just buy local, so more national business growth etc. i.e. canada is screwed, the us does well out of this. if the us put on 100% tariffs on canada, that country would go bankrupt, and the us would be fine.

From a WA State neighbor, I stand with Canada. Continue strong. You don’t deserve this. ??????
