As an American I feel the deepest shame for everything that this administration is doing to our allies, to our neighbors, to Ukraine and to our own people. ?\nI did NOT vote for the current Administration!!

The dialog between Canada and the US need to come together for a global solution to peace, prosperity and security. Everything is about transactions with this guy. \nThese tarrifs are obviously temporary and Canada needs to speak to Trump on Global issues and yes they need our inports, their cost of food is outrageous. He knows he needs the \nUS more than we need Canada. He could have put more security on the borders a long time ago but refused.\nHe will be done soon and he should have been more willing to stop the drugs and ended his term on a better note with solutions. Canada cant wait for him to step down. There were many more solutions he could have offered instead of coming off as a jerk. \nBuy USA products! We have to stop this dependence on other countries! The green deal is done..we dont need their trees.

Trump is working for Russia that's why he's doing everything.

Trump, you created this scenario. Why are we fighting with one of our closest allies? Everything that is happening with the current administration points to collaboration with Russia. WTF. Russia is NOT our friend. So one has to wonder why Trump is cozying up with them? What kind of kompromat do they have over him? How many within the administration are paid by Russia?

Trump is acting like Xi and Putin and Kim, doing everything possible to be against all democratic countries

So our carbon tax won't be going up right!... y'know in light of everything and all...? Fkn Liberals

Well, everything that Trump does makes sense when you realize he is literally a Russian agent. He should be impeached and tried for treason before he does anymore damage to our government, our economy, and our global alliances.

I am Canadian. I hate Trudeau. I support everything he said here.

Everything Trudeau said is true. The problem is trump is acting to destroy America as a functioning nation, likely out of love for OR fear of Vladimir Putin. Nothing else makes sense.

Trump in charge of everything and the global damage these Trump Tariff's will cause a worldwide dominoe effect is like driving a good running car and driving over the edge of the grand canyon!!!

As a Japanese objectively viewing, in everything, economy and security Canada relies on the US nevertheless Canada doesn't respect it, I understand why Trump is angry

Not always a Trudeau fan; but DAMN his speech was CLEAR AND FACT CHECKING and it laid out everything and made trump look like a STUPID LYING FOOL who has no clue what these tarrifs will do to BOTH our economies. I m PROUD of Trudeau for his speech and standing up for Canadians.

TRUMP SCHOOLS TRUDEAU! CNN IS FAKE NEWS. THEY WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES...THEY'RE ANTI-AMERICAN...AND TOO MANY OF THEIR VIEWERS ARE TOO! IT'S QUITE AMAZING HOW THIS EVEN HAPPENS. WHERE HAS COMMON SENSE GONE WITH YOU CNN LOYALISTS??? CNN PUTS THEIR SHEEPLE IN A TRANSE AND THESE BRAINWASHED POOR SOULD HEAD TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO ANNOUNCE ALL THE PROPAGANDA TO EVERYONE...LOL. SAD!

Let us see how everything play out

As a Constitutional American I understand what you are having to do for the good of your country. You are blessed to have a government that thinks of its people first and not as expendable. I support everything you are doing because it is best for your good country. I pray it somehow becomes what is also best in knocking sense into the puppet master and his court Jester.\nWe as Americans are going to have to do MORE to protect ourselves and OUR constitution!??

Everything makes perfect sense if you accept that TRUMP is a Russian asset, paid by Putin

Blistering speech..Liberals can't give a blistering speech. Canada is Infested with low brow liberals..We don't need anything you have. If I was in charge I'd stop everything from coming down here.We'll see who wins that battle.Liberals are the most worthless creatures to ever inhabit a planet.

Trump is the biggest liar about everything! He has the communist propaganda! Lie and rule on everything! He was recruited by KGB in 1987 with his Czech ex wife Ivana, so no one can’t trust trump, orban and Slovakian president, now I see Meloni the Italian leader, it sounds the same, so all of them are Putins agents

Biden couldn’t walk and Donald can’t finish a sentence without destroying everything…

I like how Trudeau left out all the money we just hand over to Canada. America won’t be bullied anymore with Trump. \nFor all you Democrats, if you guys wouldn’t have paved the way with your “Woke” mandates on everything without civil discourse, Trump wouldn’t have been elected. Democrats showed him how to govern this way and he is not holding back at all. Trump is the fallout from the Democrats and we all will pay for it.

If each side puts 25% tariffs, import/export wont necessarily fluctuate, but everything will get more expensive =TAX for ordinary peeps.

doews trump think we just let people threw the bofder they are very clever at smuggling the usa isnt doing anything to secure our border how many guns and drugs come onto canada oh that doesnt count right all that counts is america thats there problem everything is about them and we will win trump you can never beat us

I didn’t vote for you JT, I wouldn’t vote for you again, but those of us who are being truly honest are extremely proud of everything you said here, the actions you have taken and the way you have represented Canada throughout this mess.

Well spoken. Putin is getting everything he could have ever dreamed of, and then some.

Putin's orange poodle destroys everything he touches

Hahahaha dictator ehhh, so ironic for you to say that…by the way proroguing the government while everything is a mess here in Canada, way to gooo Turdddd

I don't think he understands that he just screwed over every Canadian by increasing the price of everything coming into Canada. Somehow he thinks that's going to hurt Americans ???

Will American Congressmen and citizens stand by for long, and watch Trump destroy everything ?

And let me be very clear people we must stand with our allies other countries and Nation especially Canada and other nations to defeat this white supremacist hatred that they have at their doorsteps we need our allies to make this world a better place for all if we stand back and sit back and do nothing and let these white privileged people tear down everything our ancestors died for that they have been lynched for burns and we lost our families loved ones today's white supremacist privilege white people's hair in this country today it's time for a change it's time for a reckon people we are all together make no difference what color are Creed you are we cannot let these white supremacists burn our country down to the ground

So it's ok for this PM to run his people into the ground with taxes until their back are broken. In turn, they get nothing. Then this loser turns around and wants 100 billion from America. Everything he said he did for America is something he should be doing anyway.

They don't care to work with us as allies, all they care about is working with the democrats for the agenda and everything that contradicts Trump.... f... canada!

Its ok everything will be fine. Canada dont need the u.s. the u.s can become a self sufficient country by them selfs. As can Canada. Wonder who gonna have more...?

You lost soon as you started Talking Trudeau We Win at everything and we will win this !

Yep here we go grocery stores are jacking up everything all businesses will jack up to gas going up up up up get are bags backed

As an American, i am so sorry about this mess. U guys do not deserve tariffs. U have always been generious, kind, hard working, and polite. I did not vote for trump, along with many others, i knew trump with his huge ego, he would ruin everything he touches. It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better. We should b working together, not fighting and being selfish. I hang my head low today and pray for all of us. So sorry

This is how one president speaks, who also warns his people, the other only talks about how wonderful everything is and how great he is.

If Canada doesn't want it then tariffs should be zero all across the board or the same tariffs on everything all across the boardm

If you stop assuming Trump serves US interests, everything starts making perfect sense.

the united states allows the flow of drugs into our nation and then we blame other nations for the problem we create and prop up. the cia has a long history of drug running. the war on drugs is literally a way to aide and abet cartels? why is it the cartels have us military hardware? americans love using drugs, thats just the simple truth. and now trump is doing everything in his power to allow the large corporations to increase their prices for their goods with these tariffs. its why his first term added 8 trillion to the debt and he is scheduled to add even more this time in 4 years. trump caused the inflation to help the super wealthy and corporations. and now he is doing it again. and americans are too stupid to realize it.

Canada is everything that America advertises to be. A land of opportunities, a solid world power and a great place to be.

So much for saving the economy and lowering grocery prices on day 1. I’m so exhausted when it comes to the USA and half of its citizens. Inflation up everything up lol I’m never going there again or buying anything American if I can help it. Enjoy your Russification dimwits.

It was leaving isolationism behind that made the U.S. the most powerful country in the world. Everything Trump does is contrary to common sense and decency. He is in this for Donald Trump and his few friends and screw the rest of you.

Well, of course you KNOW WHY THIS IS happening, don't you ????\nWhy can't people get the fact that it is Elon Musk who is making the call here ????\nHe wants to control the world ?. \nSo, by bringing CANADA ?? TO HER KNEES, it could make it easier for the US to take over CANADA ??.....\nNone of those who are running ?‍♂️ IN the ELECTION CAN MEASURE UP....THEY JUST CAN'T...\nAND FREELAND WILL DO TERRIBLE THINGS. \nI FOR ONE DO ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUST HER...\nTRUDEAU MADE SOME EXTREMELY BAD CALLS BY LETTING FAR TOO MANY IMMIGRUNTS\nINTO THE COUNTRY AND THE CARBON TAX WAS A FLATLINE FAIL......\nHOWEVER, NO MATTER WHO WINS THE ELECTION, \nTHEY WILL FLUB UP EVEN WORSE BECAUSE NONE OF THEM ARE CAPABLE. \nALL THE WORK TRUDEAU IS DOING BY NEGOTIATING WITH OTHER COUNTRIES FOR COMMERCE WILL BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AFTER THIS NEW ELECTION....\nTRUMPF WANTS ALL OUR RESOURCES AND WATER.\nHE WILL DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO BRING CANADA ?? TO HER KNEES..\nI'm deathly afraid of what's coming .\nCanada has free health care. \ntrumpf and helon Musk will grab our pensions....\nI PRAY ? TO ALL THAT IS HOLY,\nWE DO NOT BECOME PREY....

Says Canada has no problems at their border and then goes on for 5 minutes about everything new they're doing to secure the border, stop the flow of drugs, and fight terrorism

Americans don't want this, donald trump and every single person working for HIM do not agree with this and are truly ashamed of our current fake government. trump wants to de the dictator of America. That will never happen. My heart is broken for what they are doing and we will correct this. Even the people who voted for him are now figuring out that he said everything they wanted to here to get their vote was a lie and would never fulfill his empty promices(go figure). We true American patriots are truly sorry. Canada is our neighbors and friends.

Not only is trumps strategy short sighted, they are infarct very destructive. trump is an ego maniac, and his BS needs to be stopped. all he has done is jack the cost of everything 25%. Why is that being allowed to happen?.

It hit's Canadians tough because we consider Americans our brothers, we've fought in wars together for centuries done everything together.

when it comes to this guy, take everything he says, flip it, and then it might be accurate

Trump is a Russian asset, traitor, and felon. Everyone should be treating this as a hostile takeover and the Trump administration as illegitimate. It is unconstitutional for him to be president under the 14th amendment even if SCOTUS refuses to uphold the constitution. Stop this administrstion at EVERY point. Block everything.

Canada the good people here in America do not want this either because we don’t have a billion dollars to work with and truthfully I wouldn’t want it then either! We got Billionaires that want to act like two year olds here and worse yet they have been spoiled there whole lives and they claim to have never been wrong! We will do our part and would like to ask you to do everything possible to hurt the economy so we can turn the vote around and put them republicans in the protest against these criminals running our government! We will win together I am already seeing cracks in their front! We are with you Canada ?? signed old man from Ohio that has a brain and a heart!
