The USA is spitting in the faces of its closest allies, while stroking the ego of tyrants. From the UK, I stand with Europe, Mexico and Canada ?? ?

Right On! rump is trying to take the US into a Russian ally. I support Canada's position! I have never been so ashamed of our government than today! Between genocide in Israel to repeating Russian talking points about Ukraine, this is the worst result of electing this enemy of the people of the United States.

Canada is a communist nation with a falling IQ and a weak psychology.....there that is it in a nutshell.

To all Canadians, all Europeans, just know there are tens of millions of Americans who do not agree with, nor do we support, the current occupants of the White House, and we never will. We Americans stand firmly with you, with Canada, with Mexico, with Denmark, and especially with Ukraine. Love and blessings to you all. God save American Democracy, and the United States of America, from the malignant growth known as the MAGA movement that has taken over the Republican Party.

Canada and Europe can make a lot together!

I've never been so embarrassed to be an American - How this country elects a giant, bloated, orange, oompa loompa, whale carcass, who plays golf everyday and acts like a child on foreign policy . . . . . AGAIN !!!!, is beyond any reasonable persons' comprehension. Canada, please know that we are, in now way, behind this dictatorship take over of our country by the cartoon character who happens to be in the White House at present. The non-idiots in this country are so sorry ?

~Surely WISH I was a Canadian!!! GO CANADA. This American TOTALLY SUPPORT YOU???~

We aren’t scared of Canada. You need us more than we need you! America First!

America was strong because of the Contributions of Canada. Without our help who knows what will happen to you.

Insane Statement! We love Canada, from Germany! Let us unite against the tyrants

Do not blame to Trump for every problem in Canada. Canada was in problem since you became PM. You are the responsible for Loonie devalue, immigration fraud, mortgage fraud in real estate, housing crisis, more govt spending, federal workers are more than doubled.

I understand imposing tariffs to far away countries to bring jobs home, but Canada is right on their borders... why?

Good luck with this. It wont go well for Canada.

This is what happens when stupid people vote for bankrupt businessmen who have no clue about Civics, History, or running a damn government. Canada and Ukraine are our friends!!!! As an American I stand with both! Trump can go to Hell! Same with his ignorant ass supporters so spare me your replies which only support your ignorance!

Ideal Repercussions: Canada, Mexico, EU form new trade alliance and stop trading with the US until you LEARN TO BEHAVE YOURSELVES.

CANADA love from the U K

Thank you Canada !!!!! Teach Trump a Lesson, and I hope the rest of the world does the same.... Not to harm the American people but to bring Trump to common sense ( if that is even possible)

When will Trump invade Canada and tell insane Americans that Canada has invaded the US

Don’t tariffs raise prices for your people. Why would Canada want this?

Come on... We know why Trump targeted Canada. Its because he was upset when Justin Trudeau was caught on a hot mic back in 2019 in London when he was talking about Trump's press conference. Trump is a child who likes to get his payback for people who he believes wrong'd him.

Trump is the enemy! God bless Canada!

Trudeau called trump's bluff - Canada stepped up the drug border security. Now trump can't use that as an excuse so he has to find other random things to blame this on.

I want to go to Canada.

Canada is strongly anti fascist:\n1) we are against rascism and try to fight that human tendency\n2) we believe in religious tolerance and we don't fear secular views\n3) we honour our intelligent and hard working women \n4) we don't worship cult leaders who prey on our fears\n5) we are happy to live financially comfortably but don't worship the dollar\n6) we honour our military but worship peace\n7) we love our country fiercely but respect others and see their strengths\n8) we respect rather than fear sexually diverse persons\n9) we try to understand different perspectives of history\n10) we believe in equity and truth rather than Darwinian power (might is right?-no)\n11) we believe in a social democracy that pools its taxes and provides for all citizens

Thanks Canada for saying things as they are, and really proud to have spent part of my chilhood in your beatifull country, from Europe

I am just sick. I hate to be included when you state The United States and it includes me. Very sorry Canada.

I appreciate Canada using facts. As an American it is difficult living ruled by a fact-free, fact avoidant, straight out lying Trump Administration.

Proud of Canada ??

Isn’t drug coming to Canada from USA & south Amenrican countries??

Amazing speech by Trudeau. And apart from the sheer economic idiocy of these tariffs, one thing |Dopey Old Donnie forgot in his imperialist ambitions is that Canada is actually still part of the Commonwealth. So he may want to educate himself (if possible) before that State Visit in London.

Hey Canada…. suck it!

American here. So glad there is finally coherent resistance against our imbecile president. To Canada: you are the loudest voice for yourself, but also for us majority of Americans that tried to prevent this from happening. Thank you.

Trump is doing this to make Canada and Mexico fold so they become part of the USA. Trump is trying to expand the US without an actual war but by weakening there economy so Trump can hostile take over there country

We depend 4% of our economy with Canada and Canada depending on 94 % from USA ???. Let's go Trump ??? let's show to the world what America ?? can do . We are the best in the face of the earth ? and we will always be and the world needs to learn how to bow down and kiss our feet with our permission ?????? Go Trump and God bless him

THE ONLY REASON DONALD TRUMP WANTED CANADA TO ACCEPT TO BE A STATE OF AMERICA IS BECAUSE IF IT WAS HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THE OIL AND ELECTRICITY THAT CANADA HAS , NOPE AM HAPPY THAT CANADA IS STANDING THEIR GROUND AND REFUSES TO BE ONE OF OUR STATES.

Can America be the next province of Canada? Asking for everyone sensible.

Canada is better off….we don’t need America anymore. Get lost America. Go play with your Russian lover boys

I'm an American from Michigan but I stand with Canada.

Never have I ever wanted more than I do now to move to Canada. What a lucid, professional and accurate depiction of what is really going on. I only hope that more Americans understand that we cannot alienate and anger our closest allies without dire consequences. Thank you for being a voice of reason, Trudeau.

Good man Trudeau! The US agenda is bigger even than a trade war, this is a ruse that distracts from the US plan for Canada. Canada, join your allies in Europe, send your oil/gas and other resources to Europe tariff-free; Europe is a bigger market than the US.

When trump recommended terrifs everyone cried “oh that will only hurt Americans” but then Canada does it in response and everyone cheers? Like isn’t he by your own logic now screwing Canadians? Which is it people?

All BS. We are in a trade deficit it with Canada. We haven’t been partners. Our leads in the past have catered and cost Americans future prosperity. Trump is equalizing the trade partnership. Stay out of American politics if you don’t live here, and if you do, try to see the long game! This is for our children, not us!

I had to stop listening to this panty waste! We have been trying to understand for TEN YEARS, what the Liberal/NDP Coalition has been doing/saying. Why did it take a President from another country, to threaten tariffs for them to do their jobs? Sell Out Singh, is just as much to blame, as is Croatia Freeland, Mark “Carnage” Carney! Carney probably made a deal with DT for all of this!! I am not a fan of DT, not even close, and it pains me to agree with some of the things he’s saying. JT, says 1% of drugs come from here. That’s 1000% ? ?!! They don’t even check the ports. This dude at the border is a friend of JT’s, just like everyone in his cabinet! His old babysitter, his best man, at his wedding… IRS an absolute disgrace what’s happening here! I/we just want our country back, that’s it! We NEED an election and complete change of government! JT, the failed drama teacher, had zero business being a politician, let alone a PM!! He is the absolute disgrace of Canada! His legacy, is FAILURE. Hopefully these tariffs leave when Trudope/Carnage and Sell Out are gone from office! ??????????

Bruh don’t just stand with Canada you might as well stand in Canada, echo chamber in this bitch can’t hear that we are not here to hold canadas broke ass hand

From small Austria: Thank you, Canada.

The American people who voted for Trump ought to be totally ashamed - he is only interested with his good friend Putin and wants to strip Ukraine of his precious minerals. Stay strong Canada and play him at his own game.

So, Trudy, has his panties in a bunch. WTF did he think was going to happen, he has ZERO leverage in a trade battle. The Canadian auto industry will collapse. Canada does not have a car line; the entire Canadian auto industry is to supply the American auto makers. If those goods and services are now 25% more those jobs will be brought back to the US. But hey Canada voted for this socialist, he just and into a much better and smarter capitalist.

Look who’s talking,the man who ruined Canada

Canada should join EU.

An oregonian here. I want to be part of Canada. So embarrassed to say I'm a citizen of this choas?
