Omg...what a Freudian slip...getting Mike Spence's name mixed up with JD Vance...one was brave in the face of evil who wouldn't cave into bullying to accept an undeserved victory...the other is a boot-licking, ring-kissing pathetic excuse for a man who even when his Indian-born wife and half-Indian kids were subjected to rank racism...did absolutely nothing...privately Mrs Vance & her side of the family .. had to have been so let down when there was no push back from the VP.

NO ONE in American asked for Tarrifs. These are being called for to line the pockets of the Rich. They won't help the middle or lower class. I don't care if you are on the Right or Left. This is cetianly a BAD decision benifitting NO ONE but the Rich. Please guys lets try to get some this to stop before it's too late.

politicians should never be allowed to do anything that wasnt noted on thier campian. This is how they get away with everything. NO ONE EVER VOTED FOR TARIFFS

Trump needs to look at his own country’s fentanyl problem because America wouldn’t be having a fentanyl problem if America didn’t have the demand for the drug!!\nGood luck Trump…Hope you figure it out because America is the one that is demanding the drug and if Americans want it they usually find a way to get it…?..?

So where the Hell is Congress or the Supreme Court ??Let me get this straight we ONLY have ONE Branch of government now???? A KING????So the constitution has been burned?? How is he able to do this unchallenged?????

@robertedward7023 It can but I think Trump is right on this one. Zelensky needs to realize that he won't get his land back that Russia took, and that negotiating is the only way to come to peace now. He's living in a fairytale world fighting an unwinnable war. I think the US is right to pull the plug on financial aid to try to pressure Zelensky to negotiate to end the war. Unfortunately, to end the war Ukraine will likely have to concede the land they lost. But the reality is Putin will never give that land back. But it's better than more people dying everyday. Zelensky has gotten all too comfortable relying on financial aid and as a result he hasn't been willing to try anything new (like negotiate) to get this war finished. If we keep sending him money, nothing will change. Now he has pressure to negotiate. the US and Canada can't keep sending money to Ukraine for the next 20 years while this war carries on.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

The only ones that are going to be hurt by this are the people of America get rid of trump

One of my favorite TV shows was border patrol Canada and I used to see how even Americans couldn't come across your border with something as small as a DUI on their record how did all of these Indians get into your country and people that cost into ours

My fellow Canadians, stay strong, when we come together as one we are capable of surviving anything.\n\nThis will not be an easy time, help each other and we can get through this trade war. Together.

As an American Citizen, I for one hope we get through this tariff thing pretty quickly. Apologies for the trade war. Sad panda. This one voter had no interest whatsoever in trade war.

All politicians get kickbacks he is just putting up a good act.\nThe only ones affected by this terrific is the people.

What I don’t get is that he didn’t want to negotiate we literally gave him one month

Trumps administration has decided to Put the American people first the ones who where FORCED to work there asses off week on and on just to get the crap end of the check all cause this country and that country wanna fight and NOW THE US HAS THERE TRUE LEADER BACK AND SAYS NO MORE. YALL wanna find shit to complain about kiss my grits. USA USA USA USA ?? ? THANK YOU TRUMP GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DONALD J TRUMP. That’s my president!!! ?

Sir can you please stop lecturing other countries people. You with all your EU ally know a war coming and it's a bad one so instead forcing it to get more worse discuss ,be reasonable ,make deal with your enemy that benefits both side . That will possibly stop ww3 . Dont be arrogant, dont gamble with ww3 understand the situation make the right choice

?man no one worried about Canada who is Canada if they want to smoke they can get it it's a joke USA!! 4life

Get ready for a recession and you have no one to blame but yourself and TRUMP!!!

All of this by the way is just a distraction by Trump. He did not do what he said he would do day one, notice groceries are still expensive. We did everything he asked and more. So, there is something else going on. Maybe Trump plans to use emergency measures to attack Canada, physically, just to get our oil, our minerals, our water and our land. Maybe, who knwos.

No one watches CNN anymore, they kiss the ring.\nAny anchor person that questions? The Republicans gets banned. All thatslleft is a bunch of suckles.\nLike that, Bash Jake

Good Speech and Plan. Canada, you are helping the people of the USA by helping to get Trump out of power. The sooner the better for us all. Just one nit -- Trump is not a very smart guy.

I was planning to go to a U.S. National Park, but I guess I will go to Canada and visit theirs while also giving them my money. I love our national parks, but waiting in line to get in or going to one to find it littered because we can't be proud enough to pay for care of our parks? So pathetic. And that's not just our president, but anyone who is celebrating cutting these jobs. Those people probably just sit in their attics drinking Dr. Pepper while playing WoW all day.

Has a Canadian from Southern Ontario I don't know why no one is just saying it Trump does not like Trudeau look at the things Trudeau said about Trump behind his back and when he was not president this has everything to do with getting back at Trudeau

I think you need a helping of a extremely large knuckle sandwich.\nHe didn't seem to mind when Hillary Clinton sold 80% of our uranium to Russia use trucked from Washington into Canada in order to get it to Russia. Trudo is one of them. Both this smuke and hillary clinton Will eventually go down The most corrupt in history.\n just increase the green new deal carbon tax ,And allow all the undocumented aliens come to your country stay right there in canada where they belong with the rest of the international Missfits of humanity.\nAll Lies will be revealed

anyone that doesnt think shit gets worse before it gets better is delusional. weve kicked the can down the road for decades and now were at a breaking point. Tarrifs are mad toi bring companies back to america making our country more self sufficient and not so reliant on everyone else which will strenghten us. TSMC has already made a deal to start manufacturing chips here which control everything we know and china could stop that at any moment. Honda is coming here as well. All in all almost one trillion has been committed to invest in the us and this is a huge win for the long run. Alot of these countries have had tarriffs on us for ages and the people speaking out against it is because its hurting their pockets. The long run this is mandatory and we should have never let manufacturing go in the first place.

Come on bro you know that Joe Biden is the one that hurt this country with what he let you and every other country get away with against the American people a lot of us woke up we voted for Trump there's a mandate you can talk crap and try to lie all you want that's what you liberals do but we know better I stand with Trump

90% whites folks voted for trump, mostly the racist ones. Now look at the mess they created!!! Alot of people trump eliminated their jobs some not eligible to get unemployment. Programs eliminated. Racist folks cause destruction again and again!! ?

I know...I've been to Niagara Falls and Toronto....best visiting place ever. Beautiful Country and my hope is to one day have an opportunity to visit and take the train across. Thank you for your help with the California Fires....you are having to deal with a deranged, self-loving monster who IS NOT QUALIFIED to have the job he is playing with. You must defend yourselves of all his whims and orders. This dictator want-to-be, whom many of us don't want here, is a bully! Don't allow that to happen...ever. Push back...don't let the bully orange tumor get his way without repercussions. We as citizens know there will be a high price to pay, but we are not blinded to his tyranny.

TRUMP TRUDEUA 2016.... Trudeau inherited a strong economy from Harper. No talk of tariffs destroying Canada. It took a decade of poor liberal leadership.. to get Canada to the point that he's right.. tariffs woudl destroy Canada. That is what a decade of liberal/democrat leadership does to Canada's economy. Trudeau is a weak leader. His strongest points were thrownig not one, not two, but THREE women, three ELECTED EXPERIENCED WOMEN... telling them to step aside. A MAN FROM WEF IS COMING THROUGH! Carney's greatest strength will be stepping over the political corpses of women so an UNELECTED INEXPERIENCED MAN can lead.

This trade war has nothing to do with fentanyl, Trump is a turncoat aka treasonous person who has been working with Russia all along and is using any and all excuses to cause people to look at anything else but him as he lines the pockets of his billionaire buddies because America gave him that when they said a president can't be charged for anything they do while serving in the White house. Thanks a lot supreme court and to all those that voted for him...... I hope you all get deported and lose all your money for putting us Normal non radicalized Americans through h3!!. It's insane how people are so blined that they know he lies and is a criminal and when hit with hard facts he calls it fake news and they all believe it. My own mother in law is one too. I hate this

Hi Canada; Today I’m Embarrassed to say; I’m an American Citizen. I for One, Do Not Agree with trump. And I know there are many that feel the Same. trump is Like a Very Bad Virus; We Are All going to get Very Sick from it. But We Will Get Over this Virus. And We Will Get Better. ; Again!

DT? The American president who wants to be remembered as a “peacemaker”? And he starts a NEW WAR? Not with one country but with two and God knows with who else will he go after. Power and Money hungry fool. \nAmericans when are they going to wake up. D Trmp is NOT God. Constantly claims in every tv moment he REPEATS his prerogative that “no war would have started if he was in power 4 years ago” and he tries to get two wars stop with an special ‘noble peace’ title interest. Make it clear. Trmp is NOT God. And he is not smart as he claim he is. He uses fear to get anyone fear him. Millions around the world have no respect for this man. I don’t think God is actually happy with this man. He is getting old just like Biden and soon his cognitive will decline too. He is already crunching bending forward and can verily hold his head straight up and the bulge in his back shows he is tired. Will see him soon sleeping in front of cameras.

One thing is remarkable. He spells out all these while assuring the Canadian people the government will stand by them through the tough moments and expand benefits to mitigate the situation. I don’t know if Americans will be getting the same treatment from the federal government.

Canada 51st state?Better say please and dont forget to ask KING CHARLES III of CANADA The King might say NOT FOR SALE to dementia patients CANADA NOT FOR SALE DID iJUST NOT SAY THAT dONNY In case you forgot CANADA NOT FOR SALE maybe just maybe for rubles not for american money Donny how about YOUR face on the one dollar George is getting too old,dang didnt mean to put ideas in your demented mind

So yesterday zelinsky on a show in his country and it's on YouTube, he said that NATO has to protect Ukraine and US military soldiers men and women have to be in Ukraine fighting for Ukraine and getting killed, that's never going to happy you ignorance stupid Benedict Arnold, at lease the real one tried to sell west point you , ????????

That same man is the reason why they have these tariffs now!!!!! Anyone that doesn’t see that is a fool!!! Get rid of him and your lives will go back to the normal!! I can’t believe ain’t no one said it yet!! But I will!!! Get rid of him, before he makes it even harder for them!!! Smdh

He is furious. It is astonishing how one single man can have such a global impact and it all seems to come down to who flatters Trump the most, who writes the biggest cheque for his campaign, etc. \n\nThe US administration needs urgent reform: Trump has removed aid, affecting millions, especially women, has now left Ukraine floundering with Elon Musks satellites probably on the chopping block too, and for the American people he has ensured that prices will go up even more. \n\nThe only silver lining is it is well overdue that Europe is properly energy independent and armed. We also need to get much wiser about the floods of migrants.

It's so bad that you have to paint Trump's belly in order not to make things worse just because you're telling the truth.\n\nAnyway, I have a lot of respect for Trudeau, he's a REALLY smart guy. I wish we had him as chancellor in Germany, instead of Darth Merz Vader who unfortunately awaits us here for the next 4 years. But well, one look at the USA is enough to see that it can get much, much, much worse.

He's greedy, selfish, and a bully oh and lets not forget a 34 time felon, oh yah and Perverted old man and if thats not enough he's a R***est however being Smart isn't one of His traits ... And don't get me started on the people who voted for this fool.

I KNOW Canada was expecting this because frump first attacked frump's own nation...and the areas close to the Capitol. As he plays golf. I don't think he cares....when one gets older, they stop tryna negotiate and just start being who they truly are...in this case, a NARCISSIST LYING FELON who doesn't realize that when one goes to HeIl, stop, drop & roll doesn't work cuz you didn't know Jesus.

So come get us with your military. Oh, right. Canada is realizing how one-sided this relationship is now.

For those haters of Trudeau. The man stands strong and he will not get intimidated from the Trump administration. That is a strong speach and all of that wouldn't happened if Trump has just one active good braincell... So you'll see how bad the economic gonna go... And damn the americans will suffer for the price for sure... But let me say one thing, there is so much good people still in USA... We should stand strong together.

I just don't stand with Canada. I stand with any country he's bullying. Yes, it's true that countries should pay their fair share of things, but this knucklehead is going over the top... letting an immigrant Elaine musk (who voted for him)take American jobs from the people who voted trump in (how you like him now) and align our country with one of satan's best men vladimir POOTIN ... I'd like to be at the gates of heaven when trump and pootin arrive & get turned away

It isn't about Putin! TRUMP IS TRYING TO BE PUTIN. He's trying to crash Canada's economy so oligarchs can swoop in. JFC I cannot believe no one gets this! You people aren't in the same park much less observing the playing field!

Hey USA, you have substituted one old crazy president to another. Get rid of those old farters and hair yang and reasonable presidents

These guys in charge seem to think this is one big game and we are all impacted directly and most harshly for no benefit whatsoever. Madness. Ego gets in the way of diplomacy. The human race is strongest when working together. Nobody achieves anything alone. ?

Well, of course you KNOW WHY THIS IS happening, don't you ????\nWhy can't people get the fact that it is Elon Musk who is making the call here ????\nHe wants to control the world ?. \nSo, by bringing CANADA ?? TO HER KNEES, it could make it easier for the US to take over CANADA ??.....\nNone of those who are running ?‍♂️ IN the ELECTION CAN MEASURE UP....THEY JUST CAN'T...\nAND FREELAND WILL DO TERRIBLE THINGS. \nI FOR ONE DO ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUST HER...\nTRUDEAU MADE SOME EXTREMELY BAD CALLS BY LETTING FAR TOO MANY IMMIGRUNTS\nINTO THE COUNTRY AND THE CARBON TAX WAS A FLATLINE FAIL......\nHOWEVER, NO MATTER WHO WINS THE ELECTION, \nTHEY WILL FLUB UP EVEN WORSE BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ARE CAPABLE. \nALL THE WORK TRUDEAU IS DOING BY NEGOTIATING WITH OTHER COUNTRIES FOR COMMERCE WILL BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AFTER THIS NEW ELECTION....\nTRUMPF WANTS ALL OUR RESOURCES AND WATER.\nHE WILL DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO BRING CANADA ?? TO HER KNEES..\nI'm deathly afraid of what's coming .\nCanada has free health care. \ntrumpf and helon Musk will grab our pensions....\nI PRAY ? TO ALL THAT IS HOLY,\nWE DO NOT BECOME PREY....

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

The worst part is it’s the average family household in both Canada & the U.S. that’s going to get hurt the most. This is so shameful. Literally no one wants this trade war.

The only one thing Trump is around for is to make everybody else his minions, that is what he works for to get his kicks from - all the Trump willie show is about that and that is his only card. He doesn't do politics or economics or any of that. He does his 'You Have To Be Minions' willie show, and he does fall out of his pants when people can't be tricked. - That is the one red line he can be identified for. Sure, there is danger as long as the citizens in the U.S. haven't got rid of this cancer cell. It is the modern Adolf Hitler. So make sure to get past him in the shortest time possible - with the smallest damage caused - by any chance. Observation and criticism towards this fascistoid psychopath is surely unavoidable, but it is also what he wants us to do: to spend all our time and attention on him. So let's focus most of our time and effort on building and strengthening what we know that needs to be there instead of this fascist. Improving Unity amongst us. And never bowing to any of the global bullies and fascists. People who can't build on their own turf, communicate their points in a civilised manner, but need to get physically violent instead, militarily, economically, institutionally, at the cost of other people's lives - are not on our agenda. // We will not bow to bully threats - not in our small worlds, and not globally either.
