Trudeua trying to get the Americans to hate Trump is reason enough to believe the tariffs will hurt Canada, and not the American people. Lying coward that doesn't care about his own citizens.

Mr black faced racist the hero of Fnn?. He desolved Parliament rather than be thrown out, very democratic? Said Tariffs are bad so he now imposes tariffs? No credibility cant be trusted, since canada has still not met its NATO obligations.

Ask him what we have to pay Canada for tariffs? ?

All Governor Trudy Mcblackface had to do was control his border like he was asked and to be a good neighbor. Trudy McBlackface also has 200% plus tariffs already on US products. He's going to kill Canada's economy because he's a sh!tbag. Do better Canada.

Trump said the tariffs are in place until Canada becomes the fifty first state. Canada and Greenland are just another real estate deal, nothing more to him.

I advise we put another 25% tariff on Canadian products, just because of this stupid speech

How about trade between Canadian provinces? First, we should remove interprovincial tariffs. I live in BC so I paid extra tax the Alberta oil much more than American. What a shame, especially liberal under Justin. I think the Conservatives should govern Canada. ?? I mean simple thing liberal was good last 9years then keep liberal otherwise, another party must govern our true north Canada.

A quaint speech won't stop Trump from escalating the tariffs. Once the tariffs have been maxed out, all that's left to do is to order the American tanks to roll over the Canadian border. Germany did the same with Austria 3 days. Trump über alles.

WE ARE JUST MATCHING YOUR TARIFFS!!

no justin, don old is not a smart man, he thinks he is going to make a killing with the tariffs so that tells you how smart he is, not

This is bs! The tariffs back and forth are a wash, netting zero! Stop allowing fentanyl in our country!

How’s your CARBON TAX, governor Trudeau? What is Trudeau so against tariffs, isn’t it America just want an equal tariffs that Canada also imposed on USA?! Trudeau. should be talking more againsts his own CARBON TAX. Wake up fellow Canadians!! This guy is sending $$$ to useless Ukraine war. Wake up!!!

Shut up Trudeau why are you still taking? The closet friend? Your tariffs on the USA are stupid high. Go away!

Lets be honest, the best answer to Trumps tariffs would be to sign a Free Trade Agreement between China, Canada and Mexico.

Serious question: if we agree that tariffs are a bad idea, a dumb idea, why then do countries targeted by Trump retaliate with tariffs? \nNote I'm not in favour of tariffs.

I'm a 71 yr old woman. I'm crying! To listen to a leader who is coherent and articulate is foreign as of late. I haven't slept a full night since he came into office. I'm ashamed of the people in the country that are disgusting brainwashed maganuts. My daughter in law & her family are from Montreal. We stand with Canada!! You should impose a 30% counter tariff! America is dying because of that orange nazi & his group of nazi clowns. God bless Canada, Ukraine, Israel & may He save America!!?

if it is in canadas case. how about china. its the same story. tariff will hurt usa

JUSTIN TRUDEAU IS ACTUALLY THE HATED MAN IN CANADA EVEN HE NEED 10 BODYGUARDS TO MOVE AROUND FOR HIS DAILY LIFE AS PM OF CANADA WOULD CANADA CITIZENS THAT DEPENDING ON AMERICA FOOD TO SAVE MONEY AND STAY ALIVE NOW TARIFFS ON AMERICA GOODS HOW HAPPY CANADA PEOPLE BE WITH HOA HAS MORE POWER THAN HIS OWN CITIZENS.POOR CANADA CITIZENS MAY CHOOSE CHEAP FOOD TO SURVIVE JUSTIN TRUDEAU EVIL DICTATORSHIP.\nJUSTIN TRUDEAU HAS DONE NOTHING GOOD FOR CANADA AND HIS CITIZENS EVEN HIS EXISTENCE ON THE WORLD LIKE A BULB SWITCH HE THERE AND THE NEXT HE GONE FOR YEARS NOTHING FAMOUS GOOD HE DONE RECORDED BY INTERNATIONAL REPORTERS 0%.\nCANADA HAS ITS OWN HOMELESS PEOPLE WILD ON CANADA STREET BUT INTERNATIONAL PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

These tariffs have nothing at all to do with Fentanyl. It’s just a stupid excuse to screw up everyone’s economy. Our president is a despicable dictator and his voters still continue to justify his psychotic behavior.

Okay, so US tariffs are bad and will cause financial trouble for both Americans and Canadians. Won’t Canadian Tariffs do the same thing? Furthermore, Canada will not win a Tariff war with the US. Canada’s response is not rational, nor is it in the best interest of the country. What about working with Trump to understand what it takes to remove all tariffs.

Trump says he needs nothing Canada to offer…..yet oil and gas tariffs are only 10%.\nHmmm….\nI say shut off the taps to America, flip off the switch for electricity and make him come crawling back. Because that’s the only way American voters will understand what he is doing. America needs to revolt and end his reign of stupidity, because this is just the beginning of his\ntyrannical dictatorship.

Eff tariffs , Americans are under attack as well. Trudeau, help us ?

Why not tariffs energy export to USA? Why don't you export energy direct to Europe and bypass USA? It's more effective and lead to decline Trump's approval

50% of the United States population thinks these tariffs are paid by Canada. WRONG! The American population pays this. Fact.

FUCK YOU… pay the tariff… I like how they call tariffs a TRADE WAR… we don’t need Canada California has more ppl than Canada!

There are no winners in a trade war. True. Look at history. So sorry about this decision by Trump. This is a very clear speech. May the United States powers that be reconsider this current tariff and fentanyl issues. As an American citizen I wish to work with Canadians and your government. Generations of common goals and friendship need to be upheld. My wish is for reconciliation.

THE TARIFFS ARE NOT SANCTIONS. THE TARIFFS ARE JUSTICE. DO NOT BLOCK OR OVERLY TAX AMERICAN GOODS, AND YOU WON'T GET TAXED EITHER. TARIFFS ARE FOR TARIFFS, THE TARIFFS ARE NOT SANCTIONS. UNDERSTAND

Damn, Canadians hate this guy but he's basically the political Kanye. He can get as much hate as he wants but he's still the best celebrity out there in his own mind.\n\nJust saying... if I'm Canada, im not going to try to rally support of the American people by falsely threatening that we will suffer at Canada's hand because of retaliatory tariffs. Thats just silly...\n\nThis man should talk about building his own economy instead of complaining that his benefactor is asking for aome money back.

So you telling me that because Trump put tariffs in play, Canada in an uproar if it’s such an issue cut all ties with the USA and broker a deal with another country.

I hope the whole world tariffs the U.S. so that they will stop being a cancer to us all.

I'm somewhat confused though. Canadians have been suffering under high prices for years now and Trudeau never did anything to combat this. Now we want to speak up against the tariffs which is an additional price burden on top of existing outrageous costs. If we solve for tariffs, whats the plan to solve for the ridiculously high living costs.

So you can put tariffs on us but we cant reciprocate?

Day one of Trump's grand stupidity, I mean tariff plan.

NO TARIFFS THE UNITED STATES DECIDED TO PICK THIS ORANGE PUMPKIN AS PRESIDENT I DID NOT VOTE FOR TYRANNY I VOTED FOR KAMALA HARRIS AND SHE TOLD EVERYBODY THIS WOULD HAPPEN AS HE DID TOO

Screw you Trudou. It’s call equality. What you charge USA and have been charging USA for decades now will be charged to Canada. Let’s see how that feels… you don’t like it ? Well than lower your tariffs to match US tariffs. \nI am glad you are off your drugs. Or are you?

Deserves the resignation of Justin Toxic weak Trudeau and resignation of Dominic BORN THE BRUNT DEFICIT LEBLANC and doubled the deficit financial crisis and printing of too much money catastrophic inflation, and tariffs schemes of devastation Melony failure, reverse, backfiring, kaput war of 2812 Joly.

Putin to DJT…..”implement the tariffs on Canada & Mexico or I will release the pee tapes.”

Trudeau you need to resign you have a hatred attitude Be a smart guy yourself and try to work with the President of America Take your big car plan business to America so you don’t need to pay any tariffs Well you do send your vehicles to America

It’s crazy that he’s judging Trump on these tariffs . Meanwhile, he tariffs his own citizens with the carbon tax

Drop the tariffs on US goods and we will immediately drop the tariffs on Canadian goods. I fail to see why this is so difficult.

he had no problems imposing tariffs on China but as soon as the USA does it to his country he gets all butt hurt about it. absolutely hilarious

last time he did it everyone complained but biden kept the tariffs and nobody complained signaling to trump that he was right, the real trick is to call it a trade war then they can both raise taxes on their citizens which is exactly what trudeau just did whilst making it look like he's st george off to fight dragons

Hit him with %100 tariff, I bet Canada changes their ton!

Thank you for honesty and eloquency PM Trudeau. While your tariff will hurt us, I understand this criminal residing in the peoples house is causing this response. Please know many Americans are disgusted with the convict, and the ignorant, kool aid drinking ass-holes that voted for him.. and yes that includes those evangelicals that claim to love God...

Tariffs seems to be everything to do with fentanyl and other drugs that is costing American and Canadian lives. Lets stay positive and totally eliminate trafficking this drug that is taking lives of many people.

With these tariffs, Trudeau has made assurances to the Canadian businesses and ppl that they will be protected by the government. What assurances has our President to make sure our businesses and our ppl are protected? I’ve heard nothing…

This tariff war is a stupid idea. What happened to reducing the cost of living?

Trudeau you really are a BUFFOON\n\nYou still don’t understand why Trump put TARIFFS on Canada and Mexico??? \nEven the slow Democrats by now have figured that out!!\n\nLighten up Buttercup!!!! ?

I was glad that not too long ago... Trump actually did say the truth to the American people: Canada imports 95% of it's goods from the USA... with us refusing to buy American, with all of us buying Canadian or International products instead... how will he be making America great again ?? By bankrupting the country ?? Does he thinks that 25% tariffs will make Canadians shake in their pants and all of a sudden want to be the 51st State ?? No, it's just like bringing us back to the days before NAFTA. We were able to live back then and we will be able to now as well.

Trudeau, you should be the president of the United States of America. We will send Trump to canada. We are ready to pay 100% Tariff exporting Trump to canada?
