Mr. Trump we thank you for dealing with our budget and splitting ties with freeloaders. Canada cant defend themselves and we dont need their bacon or anything they have at all. We have enough coal to fuel the US for over 300 years. We been subsidizing them every way and that is how they can give free healthcare and education while Americans dont have that option. Trudeau is a weak leader that wants to talk tough like Zelensky. And Americans or veterans that dont support your president is not a patriot to your country but a freeloader too. Taxpayers gave Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars under senile Biden the worst president in US history and Zelensky want us to give him more for his war to nowhere. And then Ukraine want to not repay us unlike how they got loans from the European Union. Let Russia take Ukraine because that war is not our problem, we did enough. Lets put America first and that why the country voted for Trump. And Trunp is keeping his promise. God Bless America and Trump!

Canada and Europe must work together. Not let this Russian puppet have his way.

Stop US import to Canada! Let's save our future!

This is an act of WAR! Canada already had high Tarrifs against the USA. Trump only evened the playing field. Let’s go!!

You sit there spending 0 on your own military and live off us like a leech. You want to talk about hurting American families, lets talk fentanyl. You havent done shit until President Trump hit you in the wallet. You also have tariffs on us. The USA is also running a huge defecit with Canada. Biden is gone and the screw job is over.

Your Government Canada has let billions of drugs to come in USA.

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.)

Just 4 months ago, this rat Trudeau said America made a mistake in voting for Trump, instead of a woman. Americans voted and overwhelmingly chose President Trump. Justin Trudeau should rather try to repair the damage that he has done to Canada and let the Adult Trump run the US.

Go Canada!!!! and let us hope that US comes to it senses soon. Otherwise they will float alone and that is not good for any country in the world of today

As a European I think Canada is setting a great example, how other countries should deal with US. Let them soak in their own shit! CANADA: all but praise to this great country!

I will not be buying american products or traveling to the.u.s .....\n..let's Go Canada

Lots of nice words of support from Americans, but “thoughts and prayers” are not enough — now is the time to take action! If you truly support Canada and Ukraine, let your congressperson and senators know how you feel. Voice your anger at town halls, write your leaders, protest in the streets, and for god’s sake, stop buying Teslas!

I extend my heartfelt apologies to Canada and Mexico, and to Ukraine, my thoughts are with you. I pray for the safe return of your children. No one should endure such hardship. I regret that this administration has not upheld the promises made by previous ones. My heart is filled with prayers for my friends and allies. America, I love you; let's unite against the challenges facing our government. It’s time to remember our true strength and who holds the power.

We don't care about Canada, especially CNN and a bunch of liberal talking points get out of here with that crap Trudeau is a freaking dictator if anybody.\nYou people want to start World War III, Trump needs to get the us out of NATO and let you all fend for yourself.?

Trump stopped targeting Russian hackers. The US ordered cyber command to longer monitor Russisn hackers or to go after them. \n\nTrump ends the consumer watching agency that protected the US citizens from fraud and cyber fraud and the watching general who was tasked to monitor fake money scams like some bit coins which many are dark web money payments from crooks and money laundering. I wonder who this move helped? All of the inspector generals who were looking ok not the scam artist and corporate welfare wuuen Elon Musk. \n\nI was just hearing that gas prices are going up a dollar at least tomorrow, so you had better go and fill up. it's about all any of us can do at this juncture, is my guess. The tariffs are a tax on all of us, plus the oil we used to get from Canada is now going to China or Europe. I'd tend to say you all should be thanking a Republican. Prices up in groceries? thank a Republican. Inflation going up? thank a Republican. thousands of jobs lost. Thank a republican. higher gas prices? Thank a Republican. Don’t forget, thank a Republican, the switchboard number to the House of Representatives is 202-224-3121 be sure and call and let them know what you think. thank your representatives. Firing Veterans thank a Republican. Firing the people who care for the Veterans, thank Republicans. The cascading job losses can be attributed to Trump and his tariffs and the tariff wars. Maybe it will be a depression he will cause worldwide? Thank a republican.\nRuined our government and ruined our status in the world. Thank a Republican.

Canada has the winning hand. Canada has resources that USA needs to survive. USA has nothing to offer to Canada to survive. If Canada should cut energy to USA, let’s see who is the boss. For say, Canada is the biggest producer for potash, a fertilizer needed for the American fields. Canada will suffer from these tariffs but USA will cash down harder. Hell will come down on USA unfortunately hurting our American friends and relatives south of Canadian border.

Ask your self why we give money away to foreign countries while others give money as a loan. The world needs the USA. Canada can’t protect Ukraine, Germany,can’t do it. So who will? If our allies think they can do it better then bring our troops home. Watch what happens to their economies. Let their sons and daughters be the first to go in. Let us play a support role. We used to be the police of the world now they want us to be the bank and the police of the world enough is enough.And I’m a veteran as well.

Just because, Canada hasn't been in a conflict in over a decade, doesn't mean we've gone soft. Let's get em

❤ from ?? Stay strong, Canada. If need be move closer and lets hold eachother. ?????????

Drama teacher is always drama teacher. Trump can place tariffs at any time. Canada must stop rely on USA for everything. Grow up! Yes, we need to reply with the tariffs as well, but stop making your drama as usual. Trudeau, go away and let Poilievre negotiate a deal with Trump. Stop wasting the Canadian taxpayers money and pretend you care. Trump is not a Russian friend. He is keeping us away from the 3rd world war. The war in Ukraine must to stop.

Canada has not cared about our border too many illegals getting across, too much fentanyl, because letting people across fit's with his agenda. Over 79 million Americans voted for DJT and his policies it's what we want MAGA. We will keep our sovereign Nation.

It’s so cute how this little man thinks Canada is a force to be reckoned with! And liberals continue to show how TDS has rendered them thoughtless. The power IMBALANCE between Canada and America is HUGE! America doesn’t need Canada, but Canada needs america! And let’s not forget that the only reason Canada exports AMERICAN cars into America is because of Bill Clinton and his awful and destructive NAFTA trade deal, which also sent American car manufacturers to Mexico. Have you seen Detroit? It’s a ghost town BECAUSE of liberal democrat policies!

Canadians can be proud! Let Germany and Canada trade more! We welcome you!

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.

The sense I make of it is that it sure looks like trump and putin plan on carving up our world BY STARTING WORLD WAR 3. Lots of war money to be made and Putin gets Europe, trump gets North America and China can have Taiwan for starters. That’s why trump talks about Canada and Mexico being part of the US…THAT’S THE PLAN. And Elon gets to steal all our data to feed to AI for total surveillance and control. This is a corporate takeover of our world and we cannot let it happen.

Let's gooooo Canada!!!

As an American I stand in solidarity with Canada, this is not how you treat allies let alone close neighbors. There are no winners in trade wars, sadly a fact that seems to escape Trump.

Let's stand for justice all the way to ✌️ Canada

Finish Free trade zone with EU. Its already in progress, with maximum engagement from Canada and EU it can be done it less than a month. Lets call it MTES - Make Trumputin Eat Shit.

Lets get it started. I support president Trump. America has been taken advantage for so long. Canada has been a back door for China to move illegal products and people into the Us. You are owned by China. Your economy sucks, you cannot afford this trade war against us. Your border is not safe. Your military contribution is the bottom of the list. You keeps blaming us for buying your oil? Now, you can keep it.

The law enforcement agency leadership in the United States that Canada is working with, involving drug trafficking and organized crime , is being fired and let go by the MAGA administration?

My government is doing exactly what I voted them to do, Trudeau!!\nSo step away from the mic and let an adult speak for Canada. Because we Americans DO NOT LIKE YOU!

GOOD JOB CANADA!!! ❤❤❤Do NOT let our POTATO bully you. As an ACTUAL American,and a Minnesotan, I have to apologize. This thing is not how many of us think or feel. I am so sorry for the evilness of this puke.

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

Lets hope our nation serves as an example to other nations to be faithful in protecting your democracies or you will fall just as it seems we will here in American. Canada and Mexico need to protect their borders with vigilence not just for us but from us as well. Trump may well want to invade and controls all areas of our government and is gathering up vast amounts of money that he could use to do just that. As diabical as he is dont forget the kind of people he surrounds himself with and also the fear he can instill in those people when needed to do what they may disagree with.

Love Canada!❤ But lets be real. The trade deficit is the problem. There is a change now, the USA has been drained dry because of Biden. So, when you allow 1 item into Canada from the USA but our borders are open to you to send 5 items of yours. Not fair anymore. So fair is fair!

I just don't stand with Canada. I stand with any country he's bullying. Yes, it's true that countries should pay their fair share of things, but this knucklehead is going over the top... letting an immigrant Elaine musk (who voted for him)take American jobs from the people who voted trump in (how you like him now) and align our country with one of satan's best men vladimir POOTIN ... I'd like to be at the gates of heaven when trump and pootin arrive & get turned away

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

We want Canada in the EU ( European Union ). No problem about the name, we´ve already changed it a few times. We can rename it Union of the Free.\nBy the way, Russia, Alaska was part of Russia, you have to try to get Alaska back. We´ve already bought pop corn, let´s start the show.

Time to kick US out as the world leader at let Canada take over. The world needs a country that is literally defined by politeness instead of a country that chose to elect a president that attacks its allies.

My grandfather fought in world war II and he told me never trust a Russian, Canada will trade with the European Union while America seems to want to trade with Russia and Ally with Russia, \ngood luck with that. Let me know how it works out ?

Don't let it get you down Canada! Support you from Germany ?

As an American, let me say not all Americans want this. Lots of us are worried and heartbroken at what is happening to our country and to our allies. We wont be silent. I stand with Canada. ??

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

Let us not forget, that there is also a boycott of travel to the United States which means there are billions of dollars that will not be spent on travel, on accommodation, on the purchase of goods while in the States because there is no longer vacation or travel being done by Canada. That is going to be hundreds of billions of dollars lost to US coffers. This is going to hurt America deeply.

Oh Canada... Us like minded need to align tighter now that Trump is misleading USA with lies and putin's advises. Let's hope Americans wake up and understands that the orange man is dangerous to them. Please don't let his Crypto scam happen. Thank you Trudeau for being a voice of a reason.

Canada is the money laundering center of North America for money laundering of triad fentanyl profits out of Vancouver. The US has demanded Trudeau to stop this. The liberals stated if they do that, they will upset China and China will just pump fentanyl into Canada for retaliation, so just let Canada continue being a money launderer?

Let's move to Canada!?

Canada doesn't even have an ounce of gold. Keep talking. Let's face it. Canada is a non-country. The fact that Trump asked them to be the 51st state shows that. He wouldn't do that do Japan.

We should have never let our country Canada be so dependent on America. Yes it will hurt us in Canada but I think we will learn from this. I hope Putin is as good a friend to you as we were!
