Dictator call Putin dictator Trudeau remindu emergency act uare thief stop sending my money to Naxi ukr Stooges Trudeau threao US ?

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, raised U.S. import duties significantly to protect domestic farmers and businesses. Sponsored by Senator Reed Smoot and Representative Willis Hawley, the act increased tariffs on over 20,000 goods by an average of 40% to 60%\n\nAlthough intended to shield American industries during the Great Depression, the act backfired. It led to retaliatory tariffs from over 25 countries, a collapse in global trade, and exacerbated the economic downturn. U.S. exports and imports fell by two-thirds between 1929 and 1932.  Economists widely regard it as one of the most disastrous economic policies in U.S. history.

Oh Canada I’m so scared! Don’t act so tough 51st state

Canada acting like they can win a trade war with the USA is insane

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

You don't need to speak to the American people you act like we have a say in what happens ?

Too much fentanyl made it thru with shipment containers neglected to be checked.Too little too late to start acting like you guys care now.

Here's what I don't get, Canada will act upon tariffs being implemented, however, when asked about upping the military budget to 2% years ago as a part of Nato because it was at 1.3% and this guy said would do it but lied and still didn't do it. Now I don't like this tariff being pushed to them but at the same time do your part as partner. As of 2025, 23/32 reached that goal and Canada is stil at 1.3% -_-

This is how a Countries Prime minister acts and talks something Donald Trump could learn from. Well done, Canada and well done to the Canadian people.

Haha suck it up. Canada has always had tariffs on USA. 270% on milk is just one example, and well over 100% on other products. Now they act like we are the bad guys? Why didn’t he lower canadas tariffs on USA?

Stop the Lawless treasonous American dictator and the complicit GOP. We stand with Canada and Our Democratic Allies NOT PUTIN THE MURDERER! Stop the Lawless treasonous dictator and the complicit GOP. They are also working on methods to skew the midterms through more Voter Suppression ?. Write to your senators ask them to get creative. Ask them to implement a special election by the people with majority rule to oust the dictator! Ask them to shut down the government do anything to stop this coup. We cannot wait for the midterms. They will have once again manipulated them by then! Write your senators and Congressmen/Women, THEY MUST ACT NOW!!!

Rise up America. It's going to be too late to act soon...

“The RUSSIAN&USA will do what they will, and the weak suffer what they must.” \nUkraine 2025 \n\n “Absolute Gibberish”\nTrump talks about WAR!! WW3 like it’s a poker game.\nTrump showed open disdain for the Ukrainian president!! \nmoral compass used in reference to a person's ability to judge what is right and wrong and act accordingly. ???

Man shut up and stop acting like a Lil girl with your stupidity and pay your god dam bills... pay the tariffs and shut up.. and stop sleeping with zeleinsky he's filling your head with nonsense.

Trudeau you had 4 months to prepare for this. Stop calling people names. Get your act together please.

Your country brought drugs into our country acting like oh no I didn’t know

It might sound surreal, but I hope that the orange fas*i$t will destroy our economy. I'm afraid that this is the only way to wake up the remaining fanboys from their daydream that this president (not my president) will make America great again. It makes me sick that he has sided with russia, the most evil regime since Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, and acts like a brutal bully with our best friends and closest allies.

You act like your broke well paying time my guy welcome

Take note, US Deplorables: THIS is how a head of government/state speaks and acts. WATCH AND LEARN!

This is echos of President Hoover and the Smoot-Hawley act of 1930. We all know how well that went.

It's so strange to listen to CNN acting like Trump is sane. Wtf is wrong with you clowns? It's clear he's sinking your economy, why won't you say it out loud?

This is guy is talking about making sense?? Seriously? \n\nYou’re berating trump for trying to make peace with Russia yet align yourself with China and let them infiltrate our government. You destroy the lives of your own citizens and completely ignore their rights and you wanna act like a tough guy now? \n\nAbsolutely pathetic.

The muskrat Regime does NOT care about Canadians, it does NOT care about Americans. It is only interested in creating chaos. This is to plunge the world into economic collapse because one maniac has a vision of a Technocratic society and an Illiterate baboon acting as head of state.

Shutdown the power grid its the only ,way to prove your point fast.\nThe power going off is the best act for Canada

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Canada, you are a class act, and there are so many of us here in the USA that are truly sorry for the shameful behavior of our UNELECTED President Musk and his side-piece Trump.

This is how a leader acts & responds, not like the current toddler in the White House that embarrasses American's daily

Trudeau dumped on his people during Covid. He acted as a dictator, freezing bank accounts, ect.\nZelensky acted a fool in the oval office. The deal was agreed upon, and Zelensky backed out like a flippant child. \nBTW, JUSTIN, if you want to be serious and address the president of America, try saying PRESIDENT TRUMP.

Lil quitter acting tuff lmfao

This Canadian is PROUD of our DEMOCRATIC government in their strong response to the acts of the USA under convicted felon and adjudicated r@pist trump aka Komrad Krasnov. When you piss off Canada, you KNOW you're on the wrong side of history. FAFO. FDJT FUSA... our geographic neighbour is now our enemy and the enemy of every single democratic nation across the globe. Americans, you can either do something to change your fascist gov't, or enjoy your goose step closer and closer to Russia.

He is correct..our government is doing this to us . For Trump's circus act like he's a genius

Trump is the biggest bully in the world. If he was a child he would be reprimanded or undergo counseling. Here is a grown man acting like a bullying child and running rampant creating chaos. He is also selfish and evil.. he also reminds me of Roberto mussolini the dictator of Italy during the second world War. This man cares about nothing than himself. Hooray for Trudeau who is an articulate and eloquent speaker not the bumbling buffoon south of the border.

Trump is forcing good people to act in ways they would not normally.

Stop the lousy acting JT.

The U.S. has a massive economic advantage over Canada in any trade war—no debate. The U.S. economy is 10x bigger, and Canada relies on American trade way more than the other way around. The idea that they have 'leverage' is just political posturing. They can slap tariffs on select U.S. industries to try and cause some pain, but in the long run, they *will* lose. Their leaders just don’t want to look weak, so they act like they’re standing firm when in reality, they’ve already been pushed off the cliff. The U.S. can outlast them easily.

Wow! A leader of a country, who speaks and acts like a leader for his people... Currently looking up flights from NZ to Canada ?

Bottom line to all this is the fact that the American people voted orange man fool back into office.\nOrange man even said during the elections what he was going to do…..so don’t act now as if you were blind sided or lied to because you were warned.\nReally its the American fools that voted for him that really is at fault but its too late to start blaming, etc.\nAll you American MAGA voters are getting exactly what you voted for….now just shut up…stop crying and complaining and just suck it up and deal with it.

Kevin o Leary is acting like a MAGA PERSON

The US has already tried the Tariff experiment.....\nTariffs in 30's by the US contributed to the great depression \nSmoot–Hawley Tariff Act. The Tariff Act of 1930 (codified at 19 U.S.C. ch. 4), commonly known as the Smoot–Hawley Tariff or Hawley–Smoot Tariff, was a law that implemented protectionist trade policies in the United States\nAnd obviously that didn't work, quite the opposite!\nDeliberate Economic Sabotage?\nSo much for Trump saying historically the American economy did the best under tariff policies\nTo make smart decisions you should also pay regard to history

My country has betrayed itself... through outrageous acts of stupidity by the now president dt... what the hell is he doing? how ignorant he is being!! how like a child he is behaving!! he doesnt know how to behave properly. hope youre all happy & proud, all you unknowing hopefulls, that voted him in, youll see... as all your bills increase, & all the things you need cost so much you cant buy them. including everything!!! my God, What have You All Done!! How Terrible!!!!

Canadians... haven't dealt with the genocide that was done there. Work out your issues our indigenous people before you act holier than thou

First of all you Rogue Thug no good for nothing dictator you don't talk to the American people you go through our fearless leader who also does it back down if you want to talk to us he is our leader and he knows what he's doing and you know very well why the tariffs are imposed so don't act stupid and try to convince everyone

True American and True Canadians stand with Canada! Trump is acting like Putin is to Ukraine! The war is coming, if Trump gets HIS WAY! I hope the US military opposes their government !!!

Canada is very high on emotions that’s for sure. Is this not how negotiating works? Are talks not still going on, is anything set in stone? They act like they’re ready for war. ?‍♂️

All politicians get kickbacks he is just putting up a good act.\nThe only ones affected by this terrific is the people.

Donald and Vlad , what a double Act

I like how people act like Canada is a good country when they are replacing their people in break next speeds and they can hardly afford groceries. Their government is even more corrupt than the United States.

Golden age, pthh More a golden shower if you ask me, then again it`s the same smell and color as their leader... \nHe act like what we in Denmark call... Kong gullerød... King carrot, and it ain`t even the orange coler we talk about, \nit`s was what we in old day`s called a true better knowing smartass, only funny it`s orange too...

Was tol Putin has got incriminating video of trump that is why he is acting like a puppet

Suffer Canada. You've added tons of tariffs on American products in the past and you're still doing it. Get your leftist act together. And you voted for Trudeau so that speaks for itself. Go cry to the choir.

I am a USA citizen and a veteran. Trump's behavior doesn't represent this countries heart. This is an embarrassment and stains what we all believe and fought for. Canada, Mexico, Greenland and Europe beware. It seems Trump's greed and ego are out of control. These actions seem to be putting your countries in notice that Trump doesn't view you as allies. I believe he will pull out of NATO . Please pull together with Europe and become non reliant on Trump. Become an economic force without this wanna be king. Examine protecting your borders from Trump . Hopefully we the people of the USA will act to take our country back before it's too late.
