TEAM Canada, TEAM Ukraine and TEAM Europe. Excluding the two vile POS that are Viktor Orbán and Robert Fico of course.

We do not need canada!!!!

This entire trade war with Canada is strictly about Melanie's hots for Justin.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

Sorry Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, and the rest of the world that our president is the Biggest Moron. I hope those who vote for him will suffer as well as the rest. ?

Was supposed to be going to Vegas this year but me and my wife decided not too in solidarity with Canada. Much love Canada from Ireland ??

Oh no. It’s Canada. What will we do? Give me break.

americans must realize that this is not against the us citizens .. its against musk, first lady trump and all the spineless maga freaks .. too much social media conspiracy brainwashing during and after covid .. greetz from germany and godspeed to canada ..

Love you Canada. Well done Justin. Embarrassed that America voted the fool into the White House.

Canada ?? can you please take me as refuge I'm refuge from dictetor Trump elon musk jd vence ! Pleas Canada

Who allowed GOVERNOR Trudeau to speak??? #CNN is again trying to influence the elections in the 51st state #Canada!

If Canada really was our friends, we wouldn’t run trade deficits with them yearly. See, that’s not being our friend. That’s us being suckers and losers.

I want to visit Canada now ❤??

Leverage . Canada is Overly Exposed. The U.S is a Capitlist Nation. He is right there are no winners in a trade war. But there are BIGGER LOSERS. And thats leverage. . Not sayjng its right but please stop with the theatrics. You have NO LEVERAGE

There is a large amount of fentanyl being seized coming into Canada by Americans! Far far more than the less than .001percent coming in from Canada.

Liberals got business relationship with Canada, Europe, and China. That’s why they’re defending them so bad and they don’t care if that’s gonna cost US citizens all their pocket money.\nPeople elect Donald Trump by majority accept it

I’m wondering, what if Canada, Europe Mexico China just stop buying from USA? It’s even possible this scenario?

I'm from Georgia and I stand with Canada ??

????? A CLOWN FROM CANADA SPEAKS ON A CIRCUS NEWS CHANNEL BRINGS MODERN ENTERTAINMENT??? WAY TO GO CNN??

I hope Donald trump & Canada can just squash this beef man wtf

China almost owns most of Canada. Why is Justin Trudeau not talking about the drug factories that they have inside Canada?

Freedom loving Americans stand with Canada.

Canada we from the UK stick with you as your a commonwealth country so basically fuck America!!

Canada will lose this. Trudeau can't play hardball against Trump and come out on top.

We want a friggin election all Canadians want you and your cabinet in jail Justin you bunch of crooks you ripped off Canada and US call an election already

The wheels are coming off bus and we are all onboard. Canada needs to work with Europe to contain Trump’s America

Read the 25% and weep Democrats waterboy from Canada. No one wants your policies or comments and tongue-wagging.. Just give the money up for stiffing the U.S. for decades.

You go Canada

He's totally contradictory, he says the border has been great yet he's spending a billion making it better. Clearly a major issue is fentanyl and how many Americans are affected. Anyhow hasn't he gone yet? Canada I know you want someone better than this guy.

What a truthful speach...way to go Canada, ?? from an old Welsh gay gal...who is disgusted by the stench on humanity in the WH .. xxx

Is Musk going to somehow install some right-wing puppet in Canada in a few days too?!? The timing of all this is highly suspect

New Zealand, Australia, Canada and Europe must cease to share any intelligence with the US, otherwise it will be leaked to Russia.

As an italian i'm proud of you Canada. Don't let the crazy bullies win.\nThe USA is working hard on all fronts to end its hegemony. If this won't backfire for them, I don't know what will.

I am American …I am proud for Canada! ❤❤❤

Canada is a joke ! Pay up

turdeau is not Canada's leader. The tariff's have nothing to do with Fentanyl and all do with getting all the auto sector moved to America.

Kudos to Trudeau and Canadians! Hang tough with the American citizenry who also abjectly disagree with Txxxx and Mxxx. \n\nThank you for Canada’s position. \n\nForts sont les Canadiens et forts sont les citoyens Américains.

This makes sense. Trump has aligned with Putin. So why would we want to be friends with Canada. We have chosen Russia.

We don't want this either. We, I stand with Canada!

lol. What a loser your own country hates you and now your screwing up the country more. Also Canada already charges the USA tariffs long before this came up.

Canadian P.M. Trudeau and his government are supporting their citizens and businesses while my fascist government is throwing its citizens and businesses under the bus. I am a proud American but I support Canada. Be tough, be strong, be safe.

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

I am an American who represents a Canadian product line and stand with Canada and their people.

Please know that many Americans don’t agree with these tariffs placed on Canada either, that Canada has always been a good neighbor, always will be. These are sad and dangerous times for many US citizens with this present administration wreaking havoc on our beloved country.

Tariff's on what? I took a hard look at what I've bought in the last 20 years and I couldn't find one single thing that was made in Canada....

Trudeau is a model of intellect and logic. How sad that the U.S. now cannot match the clear speaking diplomacy of Canada. \nWe envy you Canada!

Ukrainians stand with Canada??

Canada is the best country in the whole world. Period.

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.

The biggest loser will be Canada
