I am fearful for what Trump wants to do here. We should never be provoking our border countries. Seems like an act of war. Also, guaranteed we need to work on addiction issues in our own country. Fentanyl doesn’t just come from borders. And I am sure Canada hasn’t enough crossing from their borders that is hurting us! F T rump!

Canada might cut off electricity to half the united states for a few hours as a demonstration and wake up call.

I am Ukrainian. I support you, peace-loving Canada! The old man has gone crazy!

Can't wait now to hear tonight the criminal orange blob whining in short incoherent sentences about his problems and about how he's been unfairly treated.\nWhat a stark difference between an intelligent coherent leader and a narcissistic sociopath moron. Go Canada!!

I thought it was a reciprocal tax? Canada charges 25% so the US is charging 25%? Did i miss something?

Pay your debts, Canada. We will work on paying ours that our stupid politicians and bureaucrats have stolen and given to our enemies.

Shove it Canada!

Suport and love from Türkiye to Canada and Ukraine. ??????

GO CANADA . . . tell it like it is!!! . . . Drumpf and his cult are an existential enemy.

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

suck it sideways canada, bunch of crybaby liberals that rely on daddy AKA the UNITED STATES

We should NEVER be in ANY sort of warfare with Canada, a country I love as if it were my 2nd home. This breaks my heart.\nLove yall.\nIm sorry and embarassed. I used to be proud of my own country. Its very hard to feel pride right now.\n-USA

It's more like Canada vs. Trump..... NOT Canada vs. America

I hope your viewers note that the majority of illegal guns and most of the Cocaine coming into Canada all cross the US Border, where are the US actions to stop these items coming into our country?

America first canada first. EU ALSO FIRST NO WAY WE NEED AMERICA ??????

I hope mexico and canada sign a trade deal asap never mind the us,the us is untrusthworty he doesnt respects his own signature

Love that Trudeau calls him Donald, not Mr.President. He doesn’t deserve the respect from Canada.

Sell your shit to a third world Canada see how much money you get.protect your own country

You agree for - 1 % is going from Canada ????❤

He never said Trump is a smart man, that was part of the quote damn it. I’m an American who is so sad, mad, outraged we are treating Canada and Mexico. Thank you Trudeau, I heard your message for us. I certainly cast my vote and will do so again towards unity, reason, compassion and love for the world. Not this disgusting behavior.

He hates you trudeau, get put of canada before someone takes you out , your an imbecile and 100 percent of Canadians want you out . I thought you resigned, you have no place in canada. Get lost

As a Trans Non binary French speaking immigrant I stand with Ukraine and Canada and can’t believe hitler trump is putting tariffs on my non binary needles I need for my Fetynol addicted child…

I guess Trump is doing something he wants to invade Canada

From just south of your southern border, we depend on Canadian visitors. Without you, this place will be a ghost town. Businesses will close. I and many others over here support Canada in whatever you need to do.

This is very scary. Again, what Trump is doing makes no sense - there is no economic or political sense to it. So what is he doing it for ?? To reduce our trade deficit? We have a huge deficit with Canada because we import so much oil from them, which our refiners require. On top of that we get Canadian oil for first cheap when compared to the global price mark for oil. This keeps US petroleum prices LOW! So okay if this is the issue, why not just find ways to improve the economics of U.S. oil production instead of smacking all Canadian imports with a 25% hammer ??? He has ulterior motives and it’s to weaken the American spirit and sell what he has on American to Russia. And our Congress isn’t doing anything !!!

Canada is such a nice neighbor, why are we treating them like this

lol cnn sux so does Canada Trump put 100 % tariff stop sending money to Canada stop protecting Canada…. 51st state…

Canada did nothing contemptuously ignoring the border. Now they saying how they are making so much more investment in the border. . I’ll take that as an admission that you did nothing before.

I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukraine!

That idiot needs to shut up and resign!!! He is the dictator!! he has destroyed Canada!

Well, I am from America and I never heard of such a bunch of whiny babies in my life. If you got an app to get her Mr. Trudeau and got the border tightened up instead of lying about us you wouldn’t have 25% tariff against you in the business we do a Canada as much it is in the billions it’s chunk change to us so young with the program and get it together and take a nap order in for you Europeans. I wouldn’t criticize in America to quickly because we’re in America well that’s not how that conversation.

Many americans might want to move to Canada because of Trump's authoritarian ambitions. Aligning with Putin, Trump will seek to learn more about how to be an effective dictator and kleptocrat.

How come we are not seeing Americans stand against Trump the way other countries like Canada are doing

Donald is going to spread a bunch of lies tonight with some address to Congress. Living in the US is a nightmare right now. We love you, Canada!

Isn’t this the guy that drove Canada into the ground and now you’re all cheering for him? Y’all are cooked

I am a patriotic American. I apologize to Canada for what Trump has put Canada through and what he intends to do to Canada in the future. All I can say is that there are many people who wish Trump out of office and are doing what they can to achieve that end. So sorry Canada. I hope one day you can forgive Americans for allowing this monster to seize and exercise the power of the presidency.

It is sad but this is exactly what Trump is wanting. He is creating chaos and attacking our friends so he can create an emergency and declare martial law. In effect Trump is becoming a dictator who aligns with Russia and will be Putin's puppet. Great speech from PM Trudeau. I support Canada and all actions they take against Trump, regardless of how that will hurt us. This is ALL Trump's fault.

You know it’s bad when Canada set aside its hate of Trudeau for trump.

A tweet from Trump in 2018 is resurfacing. In it he says the new trade deal he demanded between USA - CANADA - MEXICO has 'great reviews' and Mexico and Canada will be 'wonderful partners in trade long into the future.' ?

Trump will watch this begin to fail, as Canada and Mexico stand up to his bullying, and he will proclaim border crossings have stopped and fentanyl has been eradicated! So he will cancel the tariffs and declare he was such a tough guy he made them adhere to his will. Trump is a master at getting ahead of the news cycle, all the while lying and FAILING. He ruins all he touches and brags about being a genius. He is a sick man.

Well, if what DT has done this to Canada, which essentially hurts American consumers, WHY is Trudeau doing the same thing to his Canadian citizens? ?

It is vital to create a new organization for commerce that unites all the countries that are being threatened by Trump. Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, UK, South Korea, and contries that are willing to fight against trump tariffs. Working together is more than necessary to create a competitive and sustainable economic environment

Dear Canada: I joke that I can see you from my patio. (A few trees & very cold lake in between) My apologies our government has treated our prized ally so poorly. My family & friends didn’t vote for this. - Wisconsin

As an American, I do not at all blame Canada’s response to trump’s irresponsible and embarrassing behavior. I know this will affect me, but I side with Canada completely. I just hope these next 4 years pass quickly and we can get a more reasonable administration into power.

In a few months from now, if these tariffs still exist and we will all be suffering, trump will try and blame canada, saying its our fault the tariffs are in place. Please remember that trump started it, not us!!

I’m so sorry Canada! ?? We love you! Trump sucks and JD Vance ?‍???????

?Thanks our PM Justin Trudeau ?? One of the greatest leaders in the world? Let's stand for Canada and EU together and stronger than ever! ?? ?? ?????♥️?

I am a US citizen and I stand with Canada and Ukraine. It is so validating to listen to someone who speaks the truth, a privilege we don't have in the USA. Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau.

Canada = America light

Wow, Canada has supported the u.s and stood by the u.s. trade helps both countries and its people I can barely afford, let alone now paying more
