Go Canada do what you must!

This guy is absolute idiot. America doesn’t need Canada. Canada needs the USA. This guy is a communist. Trump is trying to stop an endless war with casualties and this clown is trying to compare it to tariffs. And who is watching this clown show called CNN THE FAKE NEWS CHANNEL. Lol.

Can America just be part of Canada instead of what we have. Please dont stop us from coming for ayslum

I voted for Trump and a lot of his policies and actions I agree with, THIS one I do not, Canada did not let in NEARLY as many illegal immigrants as Mexico so it makes no sense why he is punishing them, and he isn't, he just doesn't like Trudeau probably because he was friends or friendly with Biden, same with Zelensky AND Canada wanted to ban products from red states for electing him which is frankly just a stupid policy. \nThis is not hard to figure out, Trump doesn't like Trudeau and Ford, plain and simple......it really is THAT shallow, he is trolling Trudeau by calling them the 51st state and anyone know knows Trump and how he thinks knows that.

Trump and his foolish cabinet are blackmailing Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and whole Europe !

We stand with Canada and Ukraine. We love you. Thank you for standing up to the bully.

From America, I stand with Canada they ain't traitors. Trump is a traitor

The speech of Mr Trudeau, the way Canadians have shown solidarity for one another, today it all puts my country, The US, to shame. I am ashamed of what my government is doing and I am disgusted with the people doing it. In Mr Trump’s first term, as eclipsed as they were by the many many many actions and attitudes he imposed on us that embarrassed and hurt us as a country, there was the rare occasional decision I could at least understand even if I did not support it. Since taking office literally not one thing he has done has made sense to me as an American. I can only say how sorry I am for what the country I love is being used to do to you all, especially our closest allies and friends and in particular the people of Canada today. I grew up in Commerce Twp Michigan. I visited Canada regularly and, even as crime from Detroit poured across the border into Canada, Canadians always treated us with respect and welcome. I never imagined that would stop but now I find it hard to imagine how it might continue and it breaks my heart.

o boy canada is fucked well they had it coming specially their government &truedo but felling bad for canadian’s

Canada is Avery peaceful country they adores America please Trump let peace reign in your heart

US leftists following CNN, just that you know, this clown Trudau is the lunatic-leftist that destroyed Canada well before the Trump's tariffs.

I'm with Canada! I would move there if I could, in a heartbeat. Trump is an embarrassment to the World. He's pathetic.

Has everyone forgotten Justin resigned as Prime Minister and has refused to call an election. Justin just stop it, don’t keep Canada hostage. You have had 9 years of corruption and scandals. The Liberals are the problem and destroyed our economy not the US

Canada just Biatch slap ? communist TRMP wow ? no shame USA has fallen ?get rid of TRMP! now! congress! Remove TRMP NOW!!!!

Trudeau is an idiot if he thinks Trump will back down. Did you know that Canada implemented 250% tariffs on Dairy products a few years ago? So, it's no wonder that Trump issued these tariffs. Go Trump.

Trump has never held himself accountable for anything. Meaning, when Americans start hurting, Trump is going to say it was Canada and Mexico who started the trade wars.

Well said. Sorry Canada, I didn't vote for this orange monstrosity of a president

Another devasted US citizen standing with Canada.? So sick of this traitorous madman and his nasty little lapdog, Vance, sitting in our highest offices.

Canada has been so unfair in trade with the U S for years imbalance, soaking us with high prices for construction material, resource material, auto and mechanical products, we can make and produce our own shit, trudeau can go scratch. And i would hope my fellow Americans would stand up to these threats, where are your balls???

I am glad Canada stood up trump being in us trump wrecking every the ng

Americans if you stand for Canada, if you stand for Ukraine and if you stand for to make America great again then DO SOMETHING.

With Canada here...this is going to hurt US consumers and business more, and with inflation still an issue, this will only make things worse for us here. Where are our elected officials? Where are our Republican Senators and Congressmen? Why are they not speaking up for us the people??\nThis is a sad day for America!! Canada is our friend!!

What a great lider! Great position from Canada. I wish we Mexican could do the same, unfortunately we are very weak and very dependent on the US, which is why our President is still waiting.....

Remember when this same fellow froze protesters bank accounts and began collecting peoples weapons? Yet, he has the gull to talk about dictators. Trump actually wants to avoid WWIII and I hope what his administration does will bring an end to the war. Though, I do agree he should be more tough on Putin. That being said, I do agree that the crossings from Canada are not nearly as significant as compared to our southern border. It would be nice to see more from Canada in their investments to secure the border and stop crossings, cartel movements, and drug operations. The US has spent more than 409 billion since 2003 on such operations. Regardless, I feel for you Canadians and it sucks that it has come to this and I hope we keep strong relations in the future. Hopefully we can come to a fair deal soon. Mexico and China are the big players that do not do nearly enough to prevent these crimes. In fact, the Mexican government helps the cartels by not trying to stop them. China's lack of regulation on the ingredients to make fentanyl contribute to a large extent to this tragedy as well.

Everyone is forgetting WHY the US has so many bases around the world. The US needed bases in Europe and Canada to easily react to the Cold War they started with Russia after WW2. After that, the US started wars in the Middle East and needed troops nearby on reserve.

Let's see, make peace at reasonable cost with a man who's war with Ukraine showed the world that they cannot last in war with US on a military vs military bases; and the only option against the US is a nuclear, while Zelenskyy want's to use US as a deterrent against Putin, all while asking the US for billions. On the other hand, Canada, Mexico and Panama are being over ran by chinese businesses. People think this is against Canadians, Mexicans and Panamanians, but these tariffs are against chinese who are manufacturing in these countries and bypassing tariffs already in place by the US. The chinese are manufacturing in Canada and Mexico and placing (made in Canada/Mexico) and shipping those items to the US, while Canada and Mexico do nothing.

The only real beneficiaries of Trump's negative actions with Ukraine, Canada and Mexico are Russia and China.

United States needs to stop military backing on Canada immediately and put a wall up?

In solidarity with Canada I will buy Canadian made products despite any tariffs.

canadians: everyone in canada hates trudea and wants him to do what trump asks because we have to chance of prospering without america on out side and the only way to get them on our side is to comply with the reasonable, mutually beneficial asks of trump

This clown was ready to resign and step down. He should be thanking trump that his leadersip of canada still exists. Canada was and is going down the tubes. All of canada wanted this clown canned 3 months ago. At any rate, nothing canada can do. 75% of their population lives with spitting distance of the US. They need us, we don't need them. \n\nWhat do all you leftist clowns have in common? You are all haters of America. Better get used to America First bc it's just getting started.

As an American, I stand with Canada and Ukraine!

Ese es el trudeau que requiere Canada

He's totally lying that he's working with Russian.This guy's a total joke. What he doesn't say is how much money that Canada owes the u.S

9⁹ive never herd of Canada in any form of mixed up with any other country until this orange face dunce came about

Thank you for this, Mr. Trudeau. As an American. At some point a line had to be drawn, you can't just keep coddling a power-hungry toddler forever. I feel more hopeful that Canada's action will bring positive change to America than that our administration will protect any of us.

Dear canadian people and businesses: Finland supports you, you are not alone. It would be our priviledge to work together with Canada. Even though the U.S may turn their back against you, you have other friends. Sending love and hopes of working together from Scandinavia! <3

To the Americans who are outraged by Trump, you need to stand up and truly fight like the MAGAts did when they stormed the capital on Jan 6th. If you really have a problem with whats going on you need to take a stand and make a difference. If you just sit back then you are allowing it to go on. Sorry if thats unfair to say but we're living in a time where your Leader is going to only get worse and worse and start a World War if he isnt stopped and held accountable. This level of Terrorism against Canada, Greenland, Palestine, Ukraine, Mexico, Japan and China CANNOT go unpunished. Throughout history if this happened 20+ years ago this would have NEVER happened because people would stand up against oppressors and dictators. Its time to do just that.

If Canada was the 51st state economically it would be last after Mississippi. The only reason you're not eating out of garbage cans is because America buys your crap. America has everything it needs

Let it fall! The US will only learn if they feel it! As an American I stand with Canada!

Justin, make the US west coast Canada's fifth province!

wow, Trudeau's speech is like a war speech: so powerful, so clear, intelligent, sharp, coherent, brave. Can he maybe become the president of the USA and bring Canada & the USA under one flag? No need for mr orange anymore to babble & threaten to annex Canada.

I am an American and we are embarrassed by this hierarchy of immature idiots. I respect you Canada!!??

Bless you Canada. Stand your ground even though it will hurt me badly, we cannot give in to a bully!

I am born and raised in Louisiana. I stand with Canada , Europe, Mexico and the UK, and Ukraine. Not Russia.

Love Canada

All of this coming from a guy who closed the parliament and refuses to tell us when we will have an election in Canada....This is his fault and Singh from NDP...He has no control over borders and crime is rampant in Canada..His own justice minister had his car stolen twice.He should protect his country like trump doing...

Good for Canada! ?

It's time for Canada and other countries to hit back. Trump MUST Understand that he cannot treat sovereign countries like local suppliers or customers. It's a shame and a pity that people who did not vote Trump are forced to endure the consequences of his and Putin's decisions.As for the MAGAS, it will only occur to them when they can no longer afford fuel for their gas guzzlers and eggs for their breakfast.

I wish I lived in Canada. I didn't choose Trump or Musk
