I think US should become the 4th territory of Canada. Putin, you can have drump and elon and their stupid dogs.

Is it possible that this is all about access to critical minerals - which Canada and Ukraine hav in abundance. America has form in creating a pretence to go to war to protect access to cheap oil. But in the past these wars were against arab nations and so the West found it easy to 'other' and accept the need for war. Now America under Trump is hoping to secure critical minerals (modern day oil) - but because they are allies he cant start an outright war. So hes doing it through trade. This is old form for America. When looked through this lense is not so difficult to understand. The big question is will the west allow him to bully western allies - democracies to be bullied into submission?

Go Canada ??

This is what a leader of the free world sounds like: Level-headed, expressive, factual, referencing trade agreements, how we have met your demands and good sentiments about working together to solve problems. This is NOT how you lower prices for Americans! This as about a narcissist wanting to be an Oligarch, and a grapist, wanting to grape Canada, like his boyfriend Putin is doing in Ukraine.

Thought this man was stepping down and not liked in Canada Everyone should get the facts This man said No to closing our borders are you Americans are not this man was letting Illegal immigrants through on the Canadian side SCREW TRUDEAU

I am American and stand with Canada! Trump does not care about our allies but bows to Putin! Does not make sense at all unless Trump is getting something in return from Putin! As an American and veteran, I am so ashamed of our government today! Sad Sad Sad!!!

I stand and applaud Canada as an american

I am from Europe. Lithuania. I will say the opinion that is dominant in my country: Ex President Joe Biden was not the sharpest knife in the drawer because he is of a respectable age, but he was a smart politician, he respected his neighbors and the all of Europe respected him. Trump destroyed everything in one month, he acts like Putin by attacking his neighbors. We are stand with Ukraine and Canada. I hope one day to visit Canada for incredible natural beauty. ( if we Lithuanians don't have to go to war with Ruzzia )

Go Canada! This is what a real leader looks like. Not watching Trumps address later. Why bother?

Who cares what that limp wristed fella has to say. America can survive without him. Canada would be better off.

The trade war between the US, and Canada has the general population feeling the same way Russians and Ukrainians felt. A government forcing brother against brother.

We are with you Canada! ??????

American here. I stand with and support Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. DOWN WITH TRUMP! DOWN WITH MAGA!

Canada has had it to good for to long .\nI stand with America. ??

I wish I was born in Canada instead of the USA

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

Thank you to everyone from all over the world in support of Canada standing up to Trump. As a Canadian born in N. Ireland who loves the US, and have many friends there, i am emotional reading all these comments especially the us folks, it gives me hope. Im to old and broke down to be in on the front lines, but i will limp my way to fight for this country. We are not for sale.\nELBOWS UP\nPeace from Toronto

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down in popular leader in Canada. ?

I do not blame Canada for standing up for their country and to trump and putin god bless us people in the USA they have never drank the koolaid and despise trump and his dictatorship and his worshippers

Poor politician! Canada imports to u.s.a. 32.5 percent of it's products, while u.s.a. imports 1.5 percent. I don't know what to do: laugh ???or cry ???

I'm an American and stand with Canada ??

Kind of wish I had moved up to Canada.

I'm canadian and the problem is that Justin Trudeau resign from prime minister. He double the debts of Canada the last 8 years and never have an economic plan for canadian because he's a woke liberal .

Don’t be fooled, Trudeau has made the opposition in Canada much more popular with his “good talk/ opposite results. The Dems lost for this exact reason in the US America will be strong either way. Canadians are much stronger without Trudeau no matter what they decide to do. I am sure many would agree no matter what side of the political spectrum they’re on.

This guy. Canada, I wish this was not happening. I love your people and country.

Well said PM .\n\nWe stand strong.\n\nGod bless Canada and US.

Yes Canada!! ? tarifs oil to US! Trump is an idiot

I'm surprised this guy is still in charge. He has made Canada broke again.

Go canada go get him grab trump by the heels and sink your teeth in to him and that awful vance .

One by one more ...Global leaders are on the rise! Ukraine, Canada.. \nDumb Donald is egoistic and Republicans are supporting him... Downward spiral for America...

Unfortunately many people here voted for the Clown and they (and by osmosis) Canada got THE WHOLE DAMN CIRCUS....these voters have to be proud now.

NO, NO, NO!!! NOT FRIEND\nUK, Europe, Australia and Canada's Governments are corrupt and cowardice they are collapsing by allowing Communist, Progressivism, illegals, Islamic hords and they have lost any decent value by stooping to the lowest Liberalism/Progressivism. They allow Muslims to murder and rape while treating their own citizens like criminals for speaking out against it... This is a treasonous Communist dictatorship and should be dissolved before the UK gives the evil Islamic state access to their nukes.

CANADA PRIME MINISTER HAS MORE courage than every REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMen And Senators!!!!❤❤❤❤??????

I am in agreement with your decision Canada. I humbly request you, please don’t shut off the lights in NYC. Turn the lights off in Washington.

Canada....( the country where we use chainsaws to cut lumber not jobs for real people). We are sorry that Americans are going to suffer along with us.

Why is the governor of Canada talking to the American people ????\nAnother Zelensky.

Germany and Europe stand behind our Canadian brothers and sisters! We will support you and, in case of doubt, help to defend you. Thank you for your great nation, you are a ray of hope in a very dark world led by egoists and enemies of democracy. May our great democratic nations stand together forever and let every anti-democratic wind smash against our walls. Oh Canada!\nOur home and native land!\nTrue patriot love in all of us command.

I didn't understand why Trump imposed tariffs. Canada stepped up on what was asked. Maybe Trump will explain himself.

Stand firm Canada. Hopefully this so called President we have will be replaced quickly, once the last hold outs get fed up with him.

Why does trump hate canada? I mean they are white?

Sorry, Canada. There are United States citizens who actually respect and like you all except Drake.

We will be strong canada ??

I don't blame Canada for imposing their tarries against us. This is Donald running his stupid schemes.

This is what's needed to get rid of that Nano-Plastic Oil Brain! Once & for all!!! <3 Y'all for doing this!!! From now on a president should have to go through certain cognitive tests including: a nano plastic count, cte/mri & catscans & pineal gland calcification assessment(just to name a few). There are much more who side with you Canada then ya might think ;) Namaste <3

Swedish woman here ??\nThis is insanity!!!\nI have lived in both the US and Canada.\nThe Trump administration is going to ruin so much in the very near future, just because of the fact that Trump has some kind of tiny-man’s complex and wants to be Putins lackey so bad, that he is willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the people of the country that he is suppose to shelter and help to prosper.\nJustin Trudeau is a smart, level headed politician that truly cares about his country and the people living within it.\nMonumental differences between two men with totally different agendas.

So proud of our PM and my country canada ?? ????♥️♥️♥️

I thought this fairy resigned, I guess he wants to totally destroy Canada before he goes
