Dear Canada, I am glad you are standing up to our horrible leaders. I never in my life ever expected to see a President of the U.S. side with Russia over our allies. We know the that he is gaslighting the world using the fentanyl excuse. We did not all vote for the orange menace, but now we will do everything we can to rid our country and the world of this MAGA scourge.

Go for it Canada, stand up against the Bully in chief, trump is a traitor who cares nothing about America nor its people. He is doing everything he can to destroy our relations with our allies.

I blame the American people who voted for Trump. I am going to disagree with Prime Minister Trudeau when he said Donald is smart, Donald is as stupid as they come. Everything this man touches he ruins. Great job MAGA ????‍♀️

As an American, we don't want Trump and his minions in our government! What he is doing, is against everything we believe and stand for!

You Shouldn't back down. Stand up for what is right. We Know trump LIES. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a LIE. He has his own agenda.

Trump is a Putins dick sucker, he is doing everything to destroy USA hemegony on world stage. You americans fucked up big time with this choice and you will feel the effects years to come. Nice big ocean doesnt mean shit to terrorists or ballistic missiles.

The tarrifs wont last They aere temporary. Everything in the end will stay the same. Everything.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau! Many of us Americans agree with everything you said

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

Everything about Trump is wrong, not just for the citizens of America but for the entire world, Russia excluded

I am so proud of my Canadian. prime minister speaking so well and explains everything what Canadian. And Americans will affect their daily life. Cost of living will go up.

I agree with everything Trudeau said...except for when he said Donald was a smart guy.

The USA president Trump wants everything to be manufactured and sourced locally from the United States of America. He knows what happened during COVID-19 and what problems the world experienced because of a global supply chain. Now while it doesn't really make sense with Canada who is right next door the Canadians were given the opportunity to integrate into the USA so there could be some motive in that. And why wouldn't they want that anyway? Just remove the Canadian border and everyone becomes the USA. Why not?

Ok Trumpers. If your boy really is playing 8 dimensional chess..and really isn’t a freakin IDIOT, \nThen he better show some results on this ASAP. ‘Cause unlike everything else the last 4 years you CANT blame this on Biden, Obama, the “left”, immigrants, or china. \nRemember: THIS IS what YOU WANTED. \nThis one is ALL on you. \nUnfortunately tho, we all get to go on this ride…\nAnd we’re all gonna eat shit if you’re wrong. \nSo Let’s see what your messiah has up his sleeve…

Make it 250 % Tariffs on everything.

Trump has made everything cost more. This is a new form of tax on everything imported.

I agree with everything he said except for Donald being a smart man. He's a selfie asshat!

To the world. - I am an American citizen and I am ashamed to be one. I do not support trump. I did not vote for him. I hate him. He is a waste of breath. I am sorry about everything our government is doing. I don’t want this and I don’t want him in charge. I stand with Canada.

Trump is a lier they sell more drugs than any body in this planet and we americans know that we are not stupid well only the ones that voted for him are hope everything goes up prices are already up but more so his voters can pay for the mistakes they did

I am a dual Canadian/American citizen and I stand with my fellow Canadian’s and am embarrassed by Donald Trump and his brainwashed followers. I will do everything I can do to support Canada. Frankly the American citizenship is an embarrassment to me now. ??

Close your border with American and buy everything from China ?? ?

Do wath you have to do turn off the electricity to usa canada please and thank you i gues everybody has to move from usa im not goint to pay more for everything and make his friends more ritcher and we know they sell more drugas than any country in the hospitel they give you opio pills and all kind of drugs

All Canada have to do is put a 25% export tariff on a America then everything will be equal apart from the poor consumer who will have to pay a whopping 50% rise in goods..?

Has the price of maple syrup just gone up? UK :)\n(totally agree with everything said) \nAlso with Ukraine

I urge every American to order anything and everything you can from Canada.

Canada and Mexican have increase everything for ??

Utterly embarrassed to be an American. I hope Canada shuts down EVERYTHING coming and going to and from Canada. It will hurt me and my fellow citizens, but there is simply nothing left that can make the point like it needs to be made.

I am so ashamed as an American and as a human being. I am so very sorry for all of this BS. And Americans are all going to be sorry because of what’s happening in Washington right now. We are all going to suffer. Canada, please keep doing everything you can to work with the UK and the EU and all allies to make the world work while the US sinks into a quagmire of squalor, no long the leader of the free world. ???

Mr. Trudeau the fentanyl is full of bullshit and every estate of the United States they are factories of fentanyl this so called billionaires the only thing they try to do is pretend they can get away with everything. I don’t understand why the people in United States the letter get away so easy. The most danger is musk you have the right to take him the citizenship as a Canadian. We hear in United States support\n Canada days don’t last too long when people get pissed off things happen

Trump, I have nothing but expletives for you along with total disdain. The day you are removed for treason and everything else you're doing to this country and our people will be the day I laugh and dance and party in the streets. It's all coming for you and you partners in crime. Can't wait to watch you all fall!!!!

I laugh at everything this moron says

Trump isn't starting this trade war because of drugs. He's doing it for no other reason than to damage your relationship. Everything else is just a distraction so he can motivate it to the American public to prevent them from realizing what is really going on before it is too late. Why would he want to damage your relationship? It's not because it benefits America. There's another external part that benefits. And that is where you need to look.

Everything Trump has been doing makes perfect sense when you view it through the lens of Russian influence. Is Trump so embarrassed about a video of him in a Russian hotel room with sex workers, doing pee stuff, that he’s willing to tank America and the rest of the western world? \nPutin cannot believe his luck, regardless of why it’s happening.

Sadly this can all be fixed, just rise up and impeach Trump again. Attacking your friends and allies is morally corrupt, but it’s not surprising when watching all the Trump administrations rhetoric on everything else they are tearing down and risking and costing our US friends on all fronts. As a Canadian, I will not be going back to the US until this President and this disgusting rhetoric is gone.

Omg the start of this speech has covered everything I know about Canada lol “US largest partner, reasonable, polite” lol\nAlso Australia better have bulls like this guy if it comes to it, I like his play

Non tarfi measures are better. Tariffs are going to hurt you country and RAISE prices. You need to BOYCOTT Everything israel.

Boycott everything U.S. Close the border to Americans now!!!!!

As a citizen of the United States I apologize to Canadians. I'm sorry. Thank you for everything that you have done and your friendship.

So republicans and every one who voted for that orange POS… Who’s to blame for this???? Now Mexico’s president will do the same. Prices are going up everything! We tried to warn you. Look at this mess now! ???

45 is the anti-Midas: everything he touches is turned to ashes.

Canada needs the United States more than we need the Canadians. They have a 200 billion trade deficit with the US and just about everything we get from Canada, we can produce right here in our country. Energy, lumber, produce etc.\nThere might be a little discomfort in the beginning but a year from now America will be better off.

American citizen here -- I stand by everything PM Trudeau just said 100%. (am so embarrassed I wish I could slink out of here) Americans will rightly suffer for the actions of dumb@$$ tRump. I'm sorry that the suffering extends across our borders. Stay firm Canada!!

Easy fix. Change the law that only individuals (no corporations) can legally own single family homes. Revise the building codes and throw out everything thats not putting someones life in danger. No taxes for the first 250k of personal income in your life.

We all love the BonnJam made and sold in France ? Freaking Trump ruins everything

We (Americans) who are center-left are with you. Anyone who does the math won’t find a sensible answer; there is none. Average Americans will feel the hurt first. They say there is a backlash, here and there… but these clowns continue onward to the destruction of everything we hold dear.

Fuck, see what you idiots who voted for trump did. Eggs cost $1 each, Canada is hating us now, everything cost more now, Russia gonna take over Ukraine… Sad to be American these days.

I am A Vietnam Veteran , Jan-Dec 1967 , and am A True Blue American Patriot who loves America with Every Ounce Of My Being !!!!! That being said , what Donald Trump and his Traitorous Conspirators are doing to Our Neighbors , Both Canada and Mexico , is A Travesty Beyond anything An American President has EVER DONE in Our History !!!! My belief is that Trump is A Russian Asset who is doing everything he can to Tear Apart Our American Democracy , to give Vladimir Putin An Open Door to America !!!! Trump is A TRAITOR TO AMERICA , MAKE NO MISTAKE !!!! Prepare yourselves for America`s 2nd Civil War !!! IT IS COMING !!!!! You can laugh all you want , but you won`t be laughing when you begin to hear Gunshots ringing out in Your Neighborhood !!! The ONLY THING that will convince Trump he made A HUGE MISTAKE is Americans armed to The Teeth standing outside of The White House , ready to rip him out of it by force !!!! He has Underestimated Americans Resolve !!!! REAL AMERICANS `` WILL NOT STAND BY `` while he systematically Shreds our Democracy , and Names Himself THE KING OF AMERICA !!!! ITS TIME FOR WAR AMERICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You say there's no need or reason for these tariffs but that is according to you. Donald Trump has made it very clear what he asks from the Canadian people. You are choosing to do something but not everything he's asking. He doesn't want to be unfair to anybody, but he also doesn't want to be treated unfairly as a country. So please listen to what he asks. He holds all the cards again. He can and will destroy your economy and you will become his and our 51st State. Thank you

We can get everything we get from Canada from Australia, the only country with a trade surplus with the US. ?? ??

While I support everything that is against Trump and his gang, I deeply worry about those who oppose him that could go missing, “suicide” or get suddenly “overthrown”.\n\nCould the next Canadian Prime Minister kiss the ring?
