Much support to Canada. I hope our president also stands up against racist imperialist Trump. We know that Donald does not represent the majority of American. Let's stand together against Donald and his billionaire friends ??????

I loved the speech of PM Trudeau- but one thing he kept saying is wrong. Our government did not do this - One man did this via executive orders. He does not care who he hurts. He does not care about the American people. Trump only cares about himself and his relationship with Mother Russia and Putin. TRUMP doesn't want peace. He is thriving on the chaos that he and Musk are initiating. Trump needs to be impeached immediately but our Congresmaen and women, who are supposed to represent their populations are too scared to do anything other than what Trump tells them to do. Our Government is supported to have a Check and Balance function, but none of the branches have the guts to stand up to TRump. I really believe that Trump's American first policy is to end up as America ALONE.

Trump about to start WW3. And I suspect this is exactly what him and his supporters want.

In Japan we support Trump.

I'm an American and I'm beyond disgusted that the convicted felon adjudicated rapist Dictator worshipper Dictator wannabe was allowed to run for any political office especially President. I believe Musk's vote counting system corrupted the election. I have never and never will vote for Trump and his evil co conspirators. Now some of the MAGA voters are regretting their votes, well they chose to believe the cons lies over the easily verifiable facts especially Project 2025 that again lied on national TV that he knew nothing about Project 2025 yet his name is on hundreds of pages in project 2025 documents. Trump and his goons belong in prison.\nI support and love Canada and Ukraine. Devastating that the real elected President Kamala Harris was robbed of that because of manipulation and foreign interference. Americans are suffering and the suffering will get worse except for the top wealthiest.\nThank you Prime Minister for standing up to the biggest deranged bully on Earth and all the countries that are supporting Canada.\nIt disturbs me beyond words, I have generations in my family that have served in our military, ,my father served in WWII and Korea he fought at the Battle of the Bulge and liberated Buchenvald concentration camp the atrocities he witnessed affected him for the rest of his life, and here we have a 5 time draft dodger whose rich daddy paid a Dr to falsify deferment paperwork for phoney bone spurs, he's a coward and a bully

No matter who pays the tariffs and who it hurts, the end result is that billions will be paid into the government coffers of both USA and Canada. Of course Trump & Musk want to use that to benefit billionaire oligarchs, but what will Canada do with the new income? Maybe much could go to Ukraine to compensate US disgusting withdrawal of support??

I think Trump is trying to put all his eggs into Russia. And Russia’s probably going to try to completely take over Ukraine to get their minerals. The US is probably going to start sending their support to Russia. Russia will then give those minerals to the US.

As a patriotic American, I cannot support criminal felon traitor Trump, his anti-American, anti- democratic Maga cult!! Our current government is unconstitutional out for the millionaire and billionaires not the people!! Our constitution says we the people!! I support our allies. Trump is a bully, but he is dumb, weak and pathetic. If I have to suffer financially over Trump‘s in it leadership, I’m willing to do so. It’s a small sacrifice compared to what the people that came before me did!! Trump should not even be our president. He committed insurrection. He is a total piece of SH.l!+!!!

The United States has become an unreliable world leader and trading partner, which will not put America first. The USMCA trade agreement between Canada, Mexico, and America, initially brokered and lauded by Trump as “terrific,” is now being scraped. The stated reason, a national security threat due to fentanyl originating from the Canadian border (approximately 43 pounds in 2024), is bogus. This pretend “security threat,” allows Trump to circumvent congressional oversight and undermine constitutional norms. Canada's historical contributions to the United States are extensive, including WWI, fighting Hitler in WWII for two years before they joined the fight, declaring war against Japan WWII after Pearl Harbour before America did, was 25% of D-Day’s landings, support during the Iranian hostage crisis, after 9/11, in Afghanistan, and during natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina and California wildfires. However, Canada is now being treated transactionally, with a lack of respect to a historical friend and ally.

As an American and a Trump supporter, I agree with these tariffs, but only equal to the tariffs other countries charge the United States on our imports. I do not agree with imposing this on our brothers and sisters to the north. I’m speaking of the good people of Canada. I have traveled to Canada and crossing the border was just like crossing into another state. Yes, there was a border gate which there should be, but I had absolutely no problem whatsoever. I hope our government can work this out very quickly and stop this foolishness. But to countries like China and Europe the United States should charge a reciprocal tariff as to what you charge us on our import. It’s only fair. Why are we paying an exuberant tariff for our goods entering your country and you expect to pay nothing with your goods entering ours. Most Americans, love Canada and love our Canadian brothers and sisters, we’ve always supported each other in world, wars, and other attacks against our respective countries. I pray this is resolved quickly, and then we can once again live United and in harmony.

I'm not seeing or hearing Trump supporters celebrating their hero's leadership anymore. Where has the voice of the majority voting public gone.

I'm an American and I'm so ashamed of the irresponsible actions of our government. Our nation is quickly being handed over into the hands of our enemies with our faithful allies removing their support from us because Trump can no longer be trusted. I support Canada and their leadership.

Agree with Trudeau here, and as a Canadian conservative, that’s not something I say easily. But let’s get real here. Trump is NOT a smart guy. He has cratered most businesses he’s started, he has no understanding of economics whatsoever and he speaks like a five-year old. Conversely, here in Canada and around the world (including many in the US who are voicing heir support here) we have A LOT of smart people and an enormous amount of good will, and we will persevere and overcome. Bring it MAGA!

Take off the word blistering so that my Trump-supporting family members will watch. It's important information for everyone to hear.

I am a USA citizen, and I support Canada, and I hope your government stands strong against our dictator. It's about time that someone puts Trump in his place. And if he continues to trash Mexico, we will stand with her as well. There are many Americans who think our current President is a menace to the world. He is greedy, arrogant and filled with pride. God Bless Canada!!

As a Canadian, I am proud to see our Prime Minister answering directly to Trump. Mr. Trudeau spoke like a great leader of our country, we are with him and with every Canadian against an unpredictable predator. I'll support our governments in any actions that will be taken to answer to this attack.

USA Democrats will not accept 83% vote win and are still campaigning against Trump and Republicans. They hav e not stopped from day one. The socialistic/communistic world supports them in attempting to break down all Americans work hard for. America will not be pushed around and broken. If Canada wants to be with them, let Canada fall with them.

Trump doesn't care about Fentanyl. It's just one of his cards used to press Americans' buttons to support him. HE DOES NOT CARE!

I hope Trump supporters listen to this man!! HE is telling the truth that Trump and his cronies won't tell you!!

I love Canadian people I do not like your leader. He sounds righteous today. Make no mistake of the Skeltons this man has. I do support President Trumps decision we neen to make changes for our country as do you guys have to do. Better days are coming us all things will get rough for a while. Loll to your leader to do his part for your country. He needs to get creative business wise instead of putting blame. Why is your leader looking to fight he should be thinking about how to solve problems and create business. I love Canadians We will get through this. Bucket up thing will get rough for all of us we all have to make changes. We believe in Donald Trunp and the many men and woman that have stepped up to change this country. May God be with us all may we get thought rough times may these wars come to and end.

I'm Danish - we have a big movement in Denmark to boycot American goods. The US has failed in so many ways. They will learn - perhaps to late - what the price is. In the mean time I urge people around the world who supports Ukraine, Mexico, Canada and Europe - who supports the right to freedom - to buy goods from each other. Lets join together with Japan, Australia, South Korea etc - let's show the US that YES, they were important - yes they WERE the leaders of the free world - but they lost the right to that title the moment they selected Trump for president again. Let's show them what real bravery is and what real freedom is!

It only took Trump less than a month to destroy our coward of a government!! THE ONLY thing Trump so called promised was to lower cost/eggs smh lol..so stupid ppl voted for him!! Now, most of them are crying!!! Stupidity of them to really think this man cared lol lol...Trump is/ will be running this country just like a BUSINESS!! Just like Putin does Russia. In his first election Putin tried to help Trump win, but it didn't go as planned . Now, Musk helped him win this election by way of tech support. So, now Trump owes Musk AND still owes Putin. Trump is paying off his debts by canceling America, OUT!!

What's more disturbing than the actions of trump (Putin's puppy) is the vast number of Americans who support him. Ronald Reagan will be turning over in his grave thinking that the Republicans have gone Commie

To the world. - I am an American citizen and I am ashamed to be one. I do not support trump. I did not vote for him. I hate him. He is a waste of breath. I am sorry about everything our government is doing. I don’t want this and I don’t want him in charge. I stand with Canada.

I did Every thing I could as a voter to support Kamala Harris and prevent this insanity. I am soooooooooooooo sorry for what tRump is doing- via hyperbole, deceit, conceit and outrageous LIES- to undermine our relationships with our neighbors and allies. Wish us luck. We're gonna need it in the absence of sanity, logic, and decency.

Is the world having a problem with the US having a strong leader? I think so! The US is no longer taking your unfairness and your grifter expectations toward us. For example, we do 68% of the monetary support of NATO. Let that sink in. Also, we have billions of dollars of a trade deficit with Canada. These leaders of other countries just can not understand why we will no longer be their piggy bank. In conclusion, my son has lived and traveled in Europe. I learned a lot just from his experiences in general. I love my president, Trump!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have felt blessed to be an American all my life.

Zelensky was supposed to sign a minerals deal . Tgat would stop russia and would have a casefire . But Zelensky decided to act like a dumbass . And anyone support Zelensky is a bigger dumbass. I stand with Trump decision.

I am a dual Canadian/American citizen and I stand with my fellow Canadian’s and am embarrassed by Donald Trump and his brainwashed followers. I will do everything I can do to support Canada. Frankly the American citizenship is an embarrassment to me now. ??

From a fellow Commonwealth country Australia ??here, totally support Canada ??. Trump is a wannabe dictator and referring to Prime Minister Trudeau, whether you agree with his politics or not, as a “Governor” is not only disrespectful to PM Trudeau but to all Canadians. In the same way Trump disrespected Zelenskyy. This president and the current GOP has no shame. Do not back down Canada!

The Trump supporters I know either have no clue what he’s doing, or they believe that he’s just bargaining for better deals because they think America is getting screwed by our allies. This is all nonsense of course. \n\nThe American right has gone through ten years of brainwashing by conservative media outlets, and they really believe Trump will somehow bring back the America from 60+ years ago. They are in a cult, and they may double down on their fanaticism with these retaliatory tariffs.\n\nI watched sanity be replaced with complete craziness, and I do not know how we can finally get these people to realize they were misled.

Trump is an a-hole. And his supporters love him for it. They see it as a sign of strength.

I support TRUMP on his take on UKRAINE. You can’t talk tough from a place of weakness. If America stops supporting, Ukraine is finished and this talk about after Ukraine NATO countries are next is total nonsense(if Russia does then just activate article 5 and shut the f up). You cannot talk about negotiation and diplomacy while insulting your opponent. Trudeau is a liar and we can’t forget his actions in trying to rewrite history by bringing Zelenskyy to congress and applauding a Nazi Veteran and calling Russia the aggressor in the 2nd world war. That will never be forgotten SILLY!!!!!!

I am from Denmark and stand with you Canada, i will boycott products from the United States and i will instead buy products from Canada and other countries, but certainly not from the United States. Canada, i wish you good luck with your fight against Donald Trumps and the MAGA insanity. Please Canada, spread some list of good Canadian goods on the internet so we exactly know what to buy to support you.

His only mistake was saying Trump is smart lolll i support Canada

Emperor traitor Trump with his idiot plans supported by his enslaved republican lackeys will only bring disaster.

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.

I SUPPORT MY PRESIDENT TRUMP

Im an American and I support President Trump. to the leaders of Canada, have you brought your very best to the negotiating table? no one wants tariffs, but we also want fair trade.

You have no success on American people! We support president Trump! He does what he promises. Unlike you, globaliste puppet!

Trump is as dumb as a brick and anyone who supports him even now……please get help.

well said Trudeau. I am a proud Canadian and support my country. Because of this I have started and will continue to buy only Canadian products. Trump is a loser and going to cost the USA a lot of money. I will not travel to the US and that means I won’t even be able to see one of my brothers who lives there, but I support my country and will do what is necessary.

Trump is a moron and is destroying America. As long as he’s in office America is doomed. Lucky ass Canada with a leader that gives a shit.\n\nUnfortunately Trudeau is dropping facts, facts hold no space in Trump or his supporters brains.

I'm american and I do not support Donald Trump....

If you want to stand tall against the most powerful country in the history of Earth, let's see how long you stand. Canada is not an equal. Proud Republicans who support the POTUS should to the best of their abilities boycott Canadian products. USA cannot continue on its current path. Our grandkids will be paying $20 a gallon of milk and $1,000,000 for a run down house. USA needs change and no one until Trump offered any real change. USA saved Europe in WW2 and rebuilt Europe afterwards. If they don't want to be a friend of the USA, that will weaken them, not us

Trump said you will not need to vote again during the election campaign, what has he got coming for America what underhanded devious act is in stall.\nYou voted in a convicted criminal and a pathological liar and a sexual predator, a criminal that supports convicted violent criminals that assaulted police

This American doesn't support Trump.'s insane policies. I'm sorry Canada & Mexico.

I'm American, I do not support what Trump is doing to our government, and our allies . Thank you Prime Minister of Canada, you must do what you feel us right for your Country.

A Scot here. Canada is our great friend. I am sure that all reasonable people around the free world support Canada in this insane trade war. Trump is Putin and Putin is trump.

As usual, it's the most poorly informed, inarticulate, and blatantly dishonest commenters who support Trump.

You all around the world, making the mistake of siding with foolish leaders who's own public do not support them against Donald Trump--when the majority of Americans do--will feal the wrath of every single American, who is sick of being bullied by you. We do not have to pay your bills. We do not have to keep your country safe. Keep running your mouth, CNN and dividing this country and the world with your lies. Everyone knows Zelenskyy was disrespectful to Biden and Trump and Vance--who we owe nothing to. Ukraine is not an ally of ours. Ukraine will never be allowed to NATO. And all of you can enjoy the tariffs. We don't need you we don't model our behavior after you. You'll never be America. You will never understand what it means to be American. You will never come into our Oval Office and disrespect our president, Democrat, or Republican and get away with it. Shame on you for your lies! You know better but you get paid well. This is why your ratings are in the tank and only those lacking any logical critical thinking still watch you.
