Trudeau has his problems in Canada but all Canadians stand behind him in this moment, Canada will always stand up to bullies and tyrants like Trump and Putin. We stand for freedom and democracy.

there is a reason why america can slap with tariffs we trade in USD and the fed can print USD. Canada cannot. So when you slap with tarifs Trudeau you will get massive inflation, America can always buy since we trade in USD. Meanwhile value of debt goes down in the USA.

Why is it that the republicans always got a threaten our neighbors, Canada and Mexico was high terms, threatening the people all the time and bullying them is not gonna work, usually bullies get put in prison or go to jail or worse, and they know that why are they being bullies just because they're rich and they. Don't want their pockets empty. And they want to take it out on our neighbors.Well, it's the taxpayers that keep them there.Remember that when your election comes republicans, you guys can be oust out of business.You will not be voted for anymore.Remember that and that's my opinion why you bullying our neighbors

Is Canada going to remove the tarrifs they have always had on US products?

Gen. Wesley Clark, looking in very good health, sharp as a tack and well articulated as always, as in his younger years. That was truly impressive to watch.

He makes it seems we were good till Trump came into office again. I got news for you,we were great before biden came along and all he had to do was keep the momentum going. Instead he killed pipelines, pushed leftist agenda and created the inflation we have now. No more will America be a door mat to allow people like you Trudeau to wipe your feet on and take advantage of the US like so many others! Don't worry, we will survive, we always do!

What Trump is too stupid to understand is that the cost of tariffs is always passed on to the end user, the consumer, the purchaser. He doesn't know this because he has never paid for anything in his life.

He was and has always been a weak leader. They took advantage of Americans and we are clapping back by our elected leader. Time to pay your fair share. #51

The Canadians ?? freed Holland ?? in WW II. My parents were always thankful for that. So am I. Therefore: go Canada go!

As an American, I must say we have boot-licking morons running our Government. I can't believe EVERY Republican agrees with anything that Trump says. It's like we're living in a Twilight Zone episode. I feel so bad for Pr. Zelenskyy and Ukrainians. I'm embarrassed to be American and I can't believe so many Americans were voting for this clown. That probably bothers me more than anything. Apologies to the world and our friends in Canada. JT is being too kind. Shut down your borders to the USA. Ontario....cut your electrical and energy power to the USA. Cut off all trade. I hope China does the same. Make the USA swirl down the drain in pain. I don't want to wait for 2 years to try and vote in more Democrats to put a stop Trump .Bully him back. Bullies always back down when strongly confronted.

Dude you’re a liberal. You guys are always crying about something. Because of it we’ve evolved and adapted to loving liberal tears. We’ve carried you guys for years. Watched you attack our president. So now it’s like that. Either bend the knee or get stepped on.

NO matter what Canada does, Trump will always want more.

Russia has always had Trump as a puppet, and he is doing exactly what Putin wants. Can anyone explain this in a way that makes sense? Canada?? Putin wants to destroy democracy, and what better way than through an Orange Turd? Americans you did this, so only you can undo this.

I am proud to be in Canada and will be a Canadian citizen one day. Canada always ❤

I always thought fentanyl and illegal immigration was BS to justify tariffs.\nTariffs are just a internal communication operation for DTrump towards his voters.

Great speech, thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. I will always be proud to be a Canadian, eh.

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 is a traitor, there can be doubt about that, traitors have always in what ever country they've betrayed have been tried and convicted to the fullest extent of the law, do your damn job America.

Ridiculously proud Canadian here. As much as it genuinely upsets me that things had to come to this, it came as no shock. tRump has always been jealous of Canada - our oil, natural gas, timber, minerals, etc.. tRump is ridiculously jealous of our younger, fAAAr better looking country AND Prime Minister. \nSeriously though, Canadians ARE a proud bunch. We just don't feel the need to flaunt it. But this..... THIS one thing has sparked something SOOO fierce, SOOO visceral in my fellow Canucks that now that pride does not only burn in our hearts, but in our bellies..... on a guttural level.

I don’t care what no one say. It has never been done like this in American history with no president and all our presidents. We have 40 iCarly 44 president I do not call this guy a president. I do not give him the 45th or will I give him 47 I will say 44 and 46. I will always skip this guy because he’s not a president. No president act like a brat no president act like a female without no president act like a female without blood no president act like a kid without a tater tot no like a kid without some type of pacifier in his mouth and for the fact that in the first time in all our lives when your grandparents died, your great grandparents died your mom probably just died and then this is what we have as an American president and American economy and an American ministration never in my whole entire life. I seen this in part of an American history. I took the class I could I could You is never gonna find anything like this in American history until now and that’s why I say I don’t give a damn what they say. He only went into the presidency to cover his behind. That was it. He went into, not giving a damn if he was the worst he always gonna claim he’s the best but numbers don’t lie, sir numbers don’t lie Your fans might say whatever they don’t lie right now your fans are the same people calling the constituents yelling at they constituent ready to fight constituents because numbers lie, sir numbers don’t lie and it’s proven. You are the worst ever in American history. It’s proven that it’s proven that no matter what so good luck with all that hypocritical talk you wanna talk but there’s no way in hell I will vote for JD Vance no way in hell this administration would ever like recoverfrom what they have done to the American people rather vote independent Democrat then vote Republican the only way I vote Republican is Chris Cristi running for Republican for the White House if it’s not Chris Cristi I don’t fuck with no more Republicans, Chris Cristi or nothing

Lets see Trump talk like this to his people....It's hard to deal with someone who is constantly changing the goal-posts on the fentanyl crisis (whatever that is...)to other petty things. Trump is a very dumb person, who really is not in control of his administration. Musk is the real guy running the show going by what he's been doing. As a Canadian, Americans have always been looked at as my friends who I would have no problem standing beside if things went real bad. your Mussolini dictator is not doing anything good for your country, he is trashing it before your eyes.\nSo long comrades, enjoy the free vodka provided by Russia.

I dont blame da people dat voted 4 trump. #1 Conman in da world i always said dat. Im sorry but hes good. They said he cant be president

For the racist Americans who chose an idiot who has the business finesse of a 5 year old ( bankrupted a casino where the house always wins...Damn!!!) sit back and cheer!! If you think ? the rich will bale you out then you are the biggest of A-holes. Enjoy the clown ? show and kudos to Canada!!!! Note: the key to drug abuse is not the drugs BUT the drug users and abusers. That's just a distraction people!! ??

Trudeau was always great. The conservative media used 'tricks' such as conservative bought polls to sway you. Read the articles not just the headlines.

It amazes me that Trump always portrays himself as a victim. Its totally ridiculous.

My late grandmother was born in Saskatchewan. Always felt part Canadian.Stay strong and don't waver to the fascist Trump. ?? ??

Fentanyl and homelessness always go together..They use the Fentanyl problems as an excuse to push the tariffs...and they do not care about the homeless problems..which will also increase

He's still going to fold ? Trudeau has always talked tough from the podium right before caving.

joly always looks stoned.........must be taking advantage of the safe supply

Not always a Trudeau fan; but DAMN his speech was CLEAR AND FACT CHECKING and it laid out everything and made trump look like a STUPID LYING FOOL who has no clue what these tarrifs will do to BOTH our economies. I m PROUD of Trudeau for his speech and standing up for Canadians.

Please know that many Americans don’t agree with these tariffs placed on Canada either, that Canada has always been a good neighbor, always will be. These are sad and dangerous times for many US citizens with this present administration wreaking havoc on our beloved country.

Republicans don't care about fentanyl. The drug wars were always about money and politics. Democrats just a bit better.

America has always been our neighbouring country, and now Trump is trying to destroy This How sad this action from Trump Is...?

Trudeau is a weak little man. Canada has always had tariffs on US goods, but now that the US does it back, they cry about it.

I live in Los Angels and I did not vote for this. Canada has always helped us when we had natural disaster.

As a proud Canadian, it's incredibly moving to see all of these fantastic comments. Sincere thanks for the kind words everyone, they provide some welcomed reassurance to Canadians today. We really do love our friends in America, and we always have.

Mr.treadue,ignore this problem also in the name of Freedom of speech as you did always when other countries told you to address their concerns

Ohio here . We do not want trump vance elonia johnson comer mtg jordan all can go???? We voted straight blue ? Canadians have always been our friends and allies ❤❤❤ There is n talking with illiterate people ???

Prime Minister Trudeau was diplomatic in saying trump is smart. He is a bully and doing what he has always does well, bullying others and siding with another bully, putin!! Who does that? A loser, that's who.

Boo the US anthem any chance you get.. thx for hurting my business dump. ? #1 always\nAmerica the stupid

This is a sad day for Canadians our ally and friend has stabbed us in the back to take our country. Canadians are heart broken that this has happened. We do not understand why. I have always felt welcome travelling to the US and celebrate our shared values. It is in comprehensible that the US warms to Putin and turns its back on allies.

Mr Justin Trudeau, Canada has always took advantage of Americans taxpayers. Not anymore

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

As a Canadian, I'm fearful what's in store for us and our friends in America. Seems the governments of both countries always have their hands in both people's pockets.

Most of the time o support my president what he does may not like but I support his decision however we never had a child be president before most president understand what they do harm us so try not to harm us too badly however we have one know Canada has no way done anything anything to do to deserve this so I support Canada ?? I will alaway defend those who are innocent those who are being bullied by a bullies and I will always fight against a coward to thinks having more pals to bully with aren’t your friends just afraid they will be the next bullies that’s elementary play ground crap every school has that going on from K THUR 5

Oh please. Trudeau is an idiot and always has been. He's powerless and useless.

Remember friends, America is always number first, unless there is bacon.

I am from Romania EU and i wish for a PM like Trudeau. I admire Canada and always thought Canada is a great country. Many of my friend's moved there and every time i speak to one of them always telling me how great the country is and how smooth the things are going when everybody gets to a common front

And our friendship is OVER AMERICA. I will ALWAYS stand with my country Canada.

The bankruptcy king is tanking the US economy because he is, and always has been spectacularly clueless when it come to these matters. Deny, defend, depose and impeach this moron, a Felon in Chief.....
