As a Canadian I am embarrassed, ashamed and fearful! Everything that this idiot spews forth is just pure drama. All President Trump wanted was for Canada to take care of the drug problem that has killed so many. In the 9 years that this government has been in power he has done absolutely NOTHING to stop this catastrophe, in fact he has stood by and watched it get worse….enabling cartels to gain more power with a lax system of slap on the wrist laws. And his immigration department is asleep at the wheel.  \nI pray that some common sense enters the picture soon…

Canada ❤

He sounds like a man today jeeze first time canada came first in 10 years

Thank you, Canada Prime Minister. This is a sad day for all of us. \nBut someone has to stand up to Trump, who is a bully, racist, Bigot, Natzi.

Australian here. I stand with Canada

Canada gets my respect for doing what is best for its Citizens

As a German, I would say I would be happy to have Canada in the EU...????? the blond in the White House is setting the whole world on fire. Alliances that existed for decades... kicked in the ass... sad... especially as a neighbor like Canada

Sorry, Canada. I didn’t vote for him. I feel bad for all of us who saw this train wreck coming.

I'm an African American VP Harris2024 voter #The92Percent?????‍?????, and I'm standing with Canada ??.....againt Velveeta Voldemort, JD (Junior Dick) Eyeliner, Apartheid Clyde and the #MAGAZombieCult?‍♂️?‍♀️!!!!!

I love canada

I’m appalled!!!!! what’s wrong with y’all? he’s mimicking Russia..!!!!!! Russia went after Ukraine Trump‘s going after Canada talking about making it into state trying to rob them all their minerals.!!! I can’t believe y’all that gullible you can’t see this. What the fuck 20:13

Well done Canada ❤

Every sane American should support Canada! Trump is an abomination.

From England admiring Canadas response.This is a time for the UK , Europe , Canada ,Mexico etc to free themselves as much as possible from the US and build stronger ties economically , militarily and diplomatically until this administration is long gone

Sweden stand with Canada! Thank you so much for fighting for what is right! ???

I am so ashamed of my own country. This is not my president. And I'll never vote for another Republican again. I'm so sorry, Canada. I stand with Canada.

Trudeau you’re one of our biggest dictator in Canada....Call an election coward.

If I could resist cold weather, I would move to Canada. ??

M. Trudeau. Vous avez fait tout un travail récemment à défendre les intérêts du Canada. Vous avez l'air fatigué et c'est compréhensible. Je vous félicite pour votre courage et détermination. Vous partez la tête haute.?

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.

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!

I'm an American.. I am so sorry this is happening to Canada. It makes me ashamed of my government! May God intervene, and may God Bless Canada! In the mean time...turn off the power too!

Canada should pay taxes on our products as well.

Trudeau is good at brainwashing. It has nothing to do with the people. It has to do with this dictator regime who taxes everyone and everything in Canada. Basically. And don't want to stop. They leave their borders open and immigration here in Canada is out of control. They give refuge to criminals in Canada and no rule of law. This guy is a dictator and food at brainwashing in the media.

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

As an American, I don’t understand it either. Trump is not my president! I stand with Canada! I don’t recognize my government anymore!

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

Trump as he announced wants Canada and Greenland that is why those tariffs are in place , that is why why he thinks of Putin like his hero and giving on Ukraine. Tariffs war is just a beginning

Canada, America, and Mexico should form a Union based on the EU model.

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.

Why are we in a trade war with Canada? God, this is going to be a long four years.

Canada ?

Canada is a failed communist globalist dictatorship censorship -promoting regime. Trudeau is a clown ?.

As an European, I hope that Europe and Canada work together to counter the childish madness of Trump and his sycophants.

❤ well done! ?? Half of are country voted for trump and I wasn’t one of them. Stand strong Canada ❤ ??

I STAND WITH CANADA and MEXICO! I wish Prime Minister Trudeau didn't resign!

I stand with Canada . What the orange ghoul and muskrat are doing to this country is unforgivable. As a cadaian born , but have to live here because of Air Force father wa WWII . We are retired now and husband is a veteran, it’s already hard for us, now it will get worse.. God Canada must think they are living above a meth lab thanks to that thing in the White House. ??

You go, Canada!\nStay strong!?❤

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

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.

Irishman here, well done Canada for standing up to the bully.. Great speech... The EU will gladly trade with you....????....

While I don’t agree with Trumps tariffs, I understand why he’s doing them. As a Canadian citizen, please don’t glamorize Trudeau- hes a spoiled rotten brat of a former PM. Nothing more. You’ve not lived the last 10 years under his totalitarian govt, suspending the rights of Canadians at will, insulting and dividing our country at will, taking away legal firearms owners rights rights at will (people who had to pass safety courses and are more vetted than RCMP officers). \n\nHe’s proven to be more fake than a $3 dollar bill. All the liberal & ndp’s in Canada are. He has the worst record in Canadian history as a PM, including the highest taxes, home prices, massive, unsustainable immigration, and the worst healthcare crisis in Canada’s socialized medical system since its inception. \n\nHe’s accumulated more debt than all previous PM’s COMBINED (as per the PBO). \n\nThen he comes on here after he resigned on Jan.6th - yes after cratering Canada’s economy methodically for the last 10 yrs - to inflame the POTUS and who will pay for that? Canadian and American working class citizens. \n\nIf you think Canada is so great, you’re either a wealthy boomer, or have no clue what it’s like to work for a living in this modern economy in Canada. People are required to work 2-3 jobs just to afford the basics. Wages have been stagnant since the 90’s here, with cost of living rising 600-700% in the last 10 yrs.

Canada for EU ❤

Canada should lower income taxes now since boat loads of money will be flowing into government coffers.

I'm with Canada ?%

It's not a trade war, he did it because canada allowed illegal immigrants over the US border. He knows what he did was wrong and the borders are there for a reason. He fucked up, not America. And good luck canada, your gonna suffer because of these counter tariffs.

Trump is a very, very silly individual. His reasoning is unfounded completely. This is the absolute dumbest move Trump could ever implement. As a nation Canada can diversify and obtain new trading partners. Asia and Europe are already negotiating with us to purchase our oil and gas etc..

Maybe The US should become Canada's second state

Respect and partnerships are built on a foundation of mutual ideas and business, when that respect is broken there is no partnership. I stand with Canada.
