What a difference crossing a border makes eh? On one side reasonable Canada, on the other an unhinged spray tan and his VP wreaking havoc globally for what seems like no reason but ideology. Respect Canada, shame on you America.

A trade deficit occurs when you sell trinkets that no one wants or trinkets of poor quality. Next steps. Restrict people who come from no vax/raw milk regions from entering Canada; Hold military exercises in Canada with EU, Mexico, Columbia, Brazil; Close the Detroit border crossing for 3 days (thousands of amurucans work in Ontario), Restrict electricity exports to NY and MN; Restrict Canadian air space; Alaska no fly zone; Increase landing fees at YYZ and YVR. . Remember 1814 and Lundy`s Lane.

It seems sad that it took an action such as the one the US government had to do, to make Canada realize that we should work together as provinces and as people. Canada knew very well that our big brother in the south has been fiscally hurting since years and had been racking up enormous government, corporate and private citizen debt. If this were to continue it would pull down every single country in the world. Perhaps if the US is becoming fiscally responsible, truly eliminate fraudulent and unnecessary spending and refocus on their local economy (just like China has been doing in the last years) the rest of the world and even Canada can finally focus on their strength and local markets. After all, don't we all miss our local stores, local artisans, vibrant neighborhoods with diverse businesses and a pride in having made in our own country? May I say that this Trump era will give the whole planet a new perspective for changing our ways, reliance on others and taking the easy and greedy road!

Why is Canada a better country than the one I live in? Thanks MAGAts for fuckin it up for us ALL.

Trump fentanyl with Canada is BS he destroyed in one month generation of Neighbors Allies Partners Friends Trudeau is not Liang to Canadian like you are to the Americans this is going to hurt both and is not going to make America golden ??????

And let me be very clear people we must stand with our allies other countries and Nation especially Canada and other nations to defeat this white supremacist hatred that they have at their doorsteps we need our allies to make this world a better place for all if we stand back and sit back and do nothing and let these white privileged people tear down everything our ancestors died for that they have been lynched for burns and we lost our families loved ones today's white supremacist privilege white people's hair in this country today it's time for a change it's time for a reckon people we are all together make no difference what color are Creed you are we cannot let these white supremacists burn our country down to the ground

I want to move to Canada right now and help. The world has one enemy right now and we all know who he is.

How ironic that Comrade Krasnov Trump, one of the 1980s underworld drug bosses, blames Canada for Fentanyl trafficking.

Bravo Mr Trudeau, UK stands with our brothers and sisters in Canada, we are as one!!

Most of the time o support my president what he does may not like but I support his decision however we never had a child be president before most president understand what they do harm us so try not to harm us too badly however we have one know Canada has no way done anything anything to do to deserve this so I support Canada ??

I'm an American and I don't want this, I didn't vote for this, I'm upset by this, and I'm by no means the only American that thinks trade war with Canada is stupid, half the countries number one imports came from Canada, tariffs on a trade partner and Ally is absurd!

Thank you, to all our brothers, sisters, friends and allies from around the world. Canada loves and respects all of humanity. Canada supports the rules based societies and international law. We are a loving, compassionate diverse nation that comprises of all nations as citizens from around the world. \n\nYou know us and we know you… we are connected. We look forward to making new friends, strengthening existing ones and we are open to free, fair and peace loving people. \n\nMake no mistake. Our kindness and compassion should not be mistaken for weakness. We are forged from the steel of our earth. We will go over the boards when our friends and families are attacked internally and around the world. \n\nLong Live Canada and Ukraine! Elbows up…

We Europeans stand behind Canada 24/7. Let's move forward together. \nNo one in the world needs this sick MAGA Trumpism.

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....

One thing, Canada taxes US imports, Mexico taxes US imports, US doesn’t tax them at all, is this a good deal for the US?

Even as an American, I am proud to think one American in particular watched Connor score his Overtime goal, only to realize he had lost his first stand off with Canada in such a public, humiliating way! Now to see the man his wife made the moves on address both nations with more toughness and intelligence than he ever showed has got to hurt him real bad! Well done Canada! All the love from your American fan and supporter! ??❤️??

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.

No one cares about Canada .

I Stand with Canada, Mexico & Ukraine! I understand that you have to do what you have to do! I'm sorry this orange ? is causing division, drama and chaos. He's not of God.\n\nNarcissists isolate their victims. He is treating America like one of his victims. Wake up people.

I despise Trump fiercely and, I'm Canadian, and I strongly dislike Trudeau....but I love his response. \nWe owe Trump for one thing:\nOther than his mindless minions here, he's united Canada more than we have been for a long time.

Hello Canada, \nThe Netherlands here (well, one citizen thereof). We love Canada; I speak for all the citizens hereof. Your troops liberated us at the end of WWII. We have not forgotten that. Now, we in Europe are facing Hitlers shadow, in Putin. Join us. Apply to become a member of the EU.

Canada is one of WA State’s biggest trade partners. Including Mexico, China, Japan and S. Korea.

I live in Canada and have watched Victor David Hanson, American historian, as far as I'm concerned one of the most credible resources regarding what is going on, after listening to him we only have ourselves to blame for the fiasco we are in.

Lindt the swiss chocolate factory has a factory in the usa which supplied their chocolate to usa and canada, they have spoken and acted, They have increased their production in europe for canada so canadians will not be paying tarriff/taxes on their chocolate, the factory in usa will decrease production, job losses which means people will also lose health insurances as well, there is only one person to blame for this america, rise up now

This clown is definitely in the running for one of the weakest most pathetic leaders ever. And for all you “Americans” siding with Canada and theft from the American tax payers, you should move to Canada since your weak minds fit right into Canadas weak minds. \nFor the clowns threatening to do more business and side with Europe, go ahead. You probably should ask Ukraine about how helpful Europe really is!!

This administration will go down at the worst administration in all history of America. The people that voted for Trump will go down as the same despicable traders cool in all of American history. I hope you hear that what he says you’re great great kids you’re great great grandkids will understand by itself. You cannot wipe that out. You can’t burn that book.

It’s just one big scheme for the Bro/Oligarchs to make money while destroying the US and World Economy. They are all betting the short today while everything crashes.\nUnfortunately the American People and their lively hoods are all being held hostage by THIS Pathologic CRIMINAL !! Good luck Canada- Every Country should freeze this maniac out and Not do business with him!!!

Canada's only got a 63,000 soldiers that isn't enough to protect Maryland let alone Canada we get billions of dollars to protect a foreign country and never asked anything in return Donald Trump ask Canada to help secure the border on Canada side and they are complaining throwing a hissy fit it would be one thing if Canada was providing for itself without the United States. And refused to do such a small little task. \n\nBut when we are giving billions of dollars to Canada's defense and they throw such a hissy fit over a little bitty test it's time to stop all trade with them. \n\nThe armed citizens of the United States to invade Canada, I mean think about it. 63.000 soldiers is all that's protecting Canada \n\nIt would be absolutely nothing for the US citizens to take Canada less than 1% of the firearms in the United States

I’m one of the millions of Americans that loves and supports Canada ….and apologize for our elected Moron.

Putin is rubbing his hands, lailughing and drinking champagne today. Youre playing with fire America. The UK stands with Canada. A lot of people are boycotting American goods in Britain. I for one will be buying as much Canadian maple syrup as i can afford! (A small gesture i know!)

Canada ? ? We would love to hafe you as a member of EU. And we can support one and other to get through this nightmare. I think the American values are lost. and there politic system is falling, when one guy can get this powerful and nobody can stop him. just seen from a Danish point of view.

This idiot already quit, no one is listening to anything Trudeau has to say. Tariffs on the Americans only costs Canadians more, tariffs on Canadians make Canadians pay more. So you see, Liberals have to go, then tariffs go away. CANADA CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT AMERICAN MARKETS LET THAT SINK IN. Cancelled pipeline, not paying up in NATO, not stopping drug flow, not fair in trade to the USA 200 billion in difference, you see the Liberals are in panic mode and its all their fault starting with his word salad speechs that mean nothing.

Speaking from the UK here, the British people love both Canadians and Americans, but on this one we are taking one side, and that side is Canada's. We know a lot of Americans do too.

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

U.S. American here. GO CANADA! The sane ones of us down here are with you!

As an American I truly am sorry this is happening, I’m ashamed at what this administration is doing, I stand with Canada and all fellow European allies. Just know not all Americans are with this and we stand with you! It’s truly heartbreaking and the ones that didn’t vote for this person unfortunately have to go down with all of this…

Some of us don’t want this either! I did not vote for these goons. :/\n\nYou’ve done everything you can, but there is no pleasing this administration. Some of us really appreciate your efforts! And hope to keep Canada as a close ally. But this goon that is calling the shots only cares about one person, that is himself. \n“It’s a real threat to US security.” Amen!!

Good on you Canada ❤ the United States of Russia has no one to blame but themselves

I'd love to see MAGA explain this one... Canada did exactly what the president asks to avoid tarriffs and now what? Make America harder to live in because the cost of everything is increasing..... because of what? DEI? Some other Don Quixote windmill they want to fight?? I get fired at work if I don't make data-based decisions and make a clear case for why I am doing something. This administration has yet to explain why this is necessary. Show us the 'bad deal' we are getting, explain why it is bad... No more campaign rhetoric.

If Canada,Mexico ,China and EU get together say F USA we’re real get F . many Americans will lost the job become homeless cause by one man .

My only criticism is that Trudeau should have said the tariffs imposed by Trump, rather than the US. Not all Americans support Trump and maybe they’ll need Canada’s help to throw out the garbage one day soon.

Not just Canada are holding the ground against the bullying of the Trump government, also Mexico, China and European countries are holding their grounds. The US, you are big for sure, but now you have only one friend: Putin.

Please Canada don't hate Americans hate Trump. Smart Americans hate him too it was dumb American voters that did this the smart ones voted for Harris.

No one supports him here in Canada

Why does he continue to provoke the US president? He resigned and rather step down with dignity, he chooses cause as much damage before he leaves. Justin Trudeau bears full responsibility for the burdens Canadians now face. He imposed and continually increased the carbon tax, draining the pockets of hardworking citizens while offering little in return. He neglected Canada’s NATO commitments, failing to uphold our obligations on the world stage. His tenure has been marred by repeated ethical scandals, each one a testament to his disregard for integrity in leadership. \n\nNow, as the weight of his missteps comes full circle, he faces the consequences of his own policies. The economic strain he placed on his own people is now mirrored in the tariffs and pressures from the United States—a reckoning of his own making. And even in his resignation, rather than stepping aside with dignity, he continues to provoke President Trump with baseless rhetoric, further endangering Canada’s relationship with its greatest ally. \n\nTrudeau’s legacy will not be one of progress, but of division, economic hardship, and lost opportunities. And now, he reaps what he has sown.

All Governor Trudeau talking about a non-existent trade War these are just tariffs and in any way shape and form a war? Canada's military is so underfunded by Governor Trudeau Canada would almost certainly lose any conflict at ever thought with America or any tier one adversary, my suggestion Mr Trudeau you need to exit stage left and make room for somebody who has the courage to deal with the Tangerine bird

The San Francisco Bay Area stands with Canada including our allies! Down with Putin and those who support him. \nfrom one love - \nPablo (San Francisco native resident)

Courageous Canadians, courageous Canadian parliament compare that with the fully cowardly congress..on both sides. If the US congress has at least one testicle of courage Trump would be in jail by now. Canada is now the land of the free and the brave. America, show me that you are not the cowards your congress and courts are!

Hahaha… oh no!… not Canada!… hilarious… trump is fixing all of the problems with the system, and making it fair to the rest of the world… instead of the USA taking it in the A*s… when we’re the ones paying for it… we the people voted for this!… in a couple of years, the whole world will see that the USA economy is the best ever, and will follow in trumps footstep to become prosperous
