BRAVO CANADA!

I am so proud of Mr. TRUDEAU, I am an American and retired veteran and so sick of our Administration doing this to Canada and Mexico. I served with some great Canadians from NATO BACK IN 1998-2000. IT’s so sad to see this happening today.

Since we here in the USA created this mess and can't seem to deal with the orange buffoon and his narcissistic nonsense, I think it is up to Canada and Mexico and Europe to try reigning him in somehow. I don't think they can succeed, but we can hope. We're barely 6 weeks into this. It's going to be a long 4 years.

It’s time to bring the team back together Canzuk. Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

Full support to canadian people but not these 3 jokers. what trump is doing is not good, even india is not acting like this when bangladesh is operating like a rabid dog, however what real canadians should understand is that their country's current situation is because of this 3 jokers. Canada should appoint leaders that has atleast some basic understanding of geopolitics. Look at india right after meeting trump last week it has signed several deals with the EU, and even finalizing FTA with it by the end of this year. There was suppose to be a FTA with canada aswell but these jokers supported criminal illegals from india which india wanted back to face justice but these jokers defended those guys and even threatened indian diplomats, so even now you guys have time, exercise your democratic power and throw these three boogers and illegals out of your county. And plese don't overuse marijuana before the election day because its a very important day for you guys.. you guys need to be atleast 60% concious when you cast your vote, because i fear some of you might vote the wrong person After that enjoy your weed as much as you like. BEST of luck my canadian friends?

Its incredible what is happening. After humiliating Zelensky , saying that he didnt want peace (not true), now Trump starts a trade war with Canada. It's so insane. Its like Trump follows Putin, or like they are allies in destroying the world. Is this the way to make America great? Its already a nightmare.

Trudeau should have been proactive in the first place. Canada had put tarriff on other countries in the first place. They even did not sell our oil in the first place when saying no business case. Just to please his socialist minister. When trump was not in power this man went at trump the entire trump. \n\nTrudeau is lying to his teeth. \n\nThe fentynal crisis in canada is alot more worse \n\nFew months ago the had the biggest drug bust in Canadian history which could kill the entire Canadian population.\n\n\nI dont trust trudeau at all.

I love canada

Nothing but respect for Canada

Merci Canada ??

From Portugal : I wish so so much to have a prime minister like this. Congrats Canada. Stay strong

Ha ha. Canada is gone.

Imagine if the United States had a president as sensible as Canada's. \nImplement 100% tariffs on Tesla.

As a Californian, I'm hoping Canada will beef up their tariffs on the red states that voted for this idiot in the White House. What a shame.

canada is the nest for criminal thieves and corrupted element immigirated from other nations

From Denmark; When your country imports 20% of the country's electricity consumption, 50% of the country's oil consumption, and 90% of the country's gas consumption from Canada, then it is quite unintelligent to start a trade war with Canada.

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

Mad respect for Canada ❤️

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.

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

Canada should pay taxes on our products as well.

Once a blessing, now a curse. Who wants the Americans on their side these days? Putin suffers from the same problem as Canada and the EU are: Every 4 years America's policy can radically turn against you.

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!

This is a pretext to invade Canada. Your border had better be more than safe. Fentanyl is a subterfuge, Trump wants your land to then have access to your resources and the Arctic. Trump and Putin have an agreement, and Canada and Greenland are not a part of it. You are a pawn to be taken to achieve those aims.

Canada, millions of us in the USA are with you!❤ Trump and his government are a disgrace.

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

Canada ?

It's almost as if Trudeau doesn't even know who Donald Trump is! Speaking to him directly and addressing him as Donald instead of President Trump is a blatant show of disrespect. \n\nGuess what Canada. We don't need you for ANYTHING! I already boycott Canadian Club. Not for political reasons, but I don't like drinking bever piss. And I'll start buying my maple syrup from Vermont. So, you keep your shit, we'll keep our shit, and good luck to you.

Before Trudeau starts acting the fool he should get himself a globe or a good map, and he will notice that the ONLY thing that is separating Canada from Russia is Alaskan !!! He needs to pray for wisdom from our Loving God !!!

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

Canada and America should work together. Trudeau is the only one talking about a trade war. Think about that... Trump imposed reciprocal tariffs on many countries who later came to the Whitehouse and invested billions to bring business here. Canada has enjoyed the American gravy train for long enough. Just look at the comparison between how much money goes into Canada and how much of that America actually sees a return on.

100% truth by Canada and Trudeau! Trudeau translation—Smart Guy = Smart Con Artist.

Canada has been the preferred access point for criminals and terrorist for the past 4 years. I have a place right on the border and 8 months ago I caught a young East Indian who already had several felony in the states and had been shipped back to India in previous years. How the heck did that man get a student visa to come to Canada. There are 50,000 East Indian Students missing in Canada who simply used the visa to get into Canada and run the border. This is what we’re are dealing with. I live on the border and I’ve never seen this much traffic. Border guards are simply picking their targets and having to ignore others. So I ask u how do u think I feel about my property being used as an illegal highway bcz of your government incompetence. As someone who also works in native communities throughout Canada I’ll also Trudeau words fall like shit from ass. The drugs have ravaged native communities to the tune of 3/4 of the young ppl. Grandparents are raising the grandchildren and it’s all kept hush hush by the liberal media. They’ve done nothing to stop it bcz it normally boils down to minority groups who they brought in who are making it.

Great speech from the president from Canada. This is the kind of president the USA should have. I stand with Canada. TRUMP has ruined our country.

All Americans 99% support Europeans allies ,only one person in White House “to make decisions dumb” I am with you Canada ❤❤❤ T and JD destroyed Democracy

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

Hey Canada I’m a highly skilled laborer and I want out of the US. Can I please move up there?

This is so crazy am Flabbergasting i stand with Canada ??

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..

As an American, I apologize for all this, God Bless Canada!

Other leaders watching need to know you can't fake influence. Canada is standing on business.

Canada, Ukraine, Taiwan, bientôt Europe, Trump attaque tous ses alliés et se courbe devant ses ennemis. \nÇa va vraiment mal et c'est incompréhensible.

America will remain unaffected by the recent tariff changes by the Governor of the Great State of Canada.

How the American people vote and elect a Guy like Trump ?? Unbelievable..\nWell done Canada !!

Canada, you rock! The UK stands with you, as do all of europe.

It's going to hurt, blame The vulgar psychopath felon in the white house.. I don't blame Canada, I support them

Good for Canada.
