it's interesting.. now Canada wants to help stem the flow of drugs and illegal immigration into the US.. why not put a high priority on this issue in the years prior?

Europe stands with Canada. This is how you stand up to bullies!

This is only my opinion It is all about Canada being a Liberal Democracy, Putin ,now Trump agree, that Canada should not exist, a pretext to invade, Soviet Russia from the North and Fascist America from the South.

Unfortunately, in this speech, all J. Trudeau has shown is that Canada can be forced to implement irrational and costly programs (fentanyl/border security) while otherwise listing off every reason the United States has for annexing Canada. Canadian vulnerability is on full display and there are going to be plenty of famous ex-pats and wealthy citizens, who are already silent, and will soon be quietly, then vocally, supporting it. The Trump administration doesn't think Canada is a legitimate country and unlike Mexico, they feel it can absorb its demographic easily. This is how Anschluss works.

Boohoo to you Trudeau, you and your mafia gang created this mess. Get your sh*t together, coz imho you are an abject failure here in Canada.\nTrump warned you months ago about tarrifs if you didn’t tighten up the border to stop the flow of fentanyl into the States.\nBut what has Trump done to stop the illegal flow of firearms into Canada?\nSo, strengthening the border is the responsibility of both sides.\nNow that the tariffs are on, Canada has no other option but fight back with tariffs against America…so howz it going strengthening our borders?

I love Canada ?? From USA ??

Fine, canada will be crushed, they can not afford a trade war with the US. Crazy how hard Trudeau wants canada to be America's 51st state, well 52nd state if you know your history.

Canada is weak without the U.S\nIt will soon become Russia

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

As an American we love Canada and despise Trump and his Administration would be dictator and Putin lapdogs. Seems like Trump is out to destroy the US. What will we all do when Trump and his team start wearing the Nazi insignia ?!

Well said, PM Trudeau. You assessment of the situation is more than impressive. The world has been turned upside down by an aging megalomaniac who wears fake tan and he is damaging all of us, including Americans. Unfortunately, a third of them haven't understood that yet. The saddest part of all this is that his especially harsh treatment of Canada is probably because Trudeau's good looks and that photo with Melania..

Trudeau is getting more and more attractive lol Canada looking like a lovely place to go visit now

STAY STRONG CANADA ❤

Love Canada and stay strong against the orange turd ?

Good job, Prime Minister. You represented Canada with strength and dignity. Statesmanlike. Well done.

Not they, Trump! It’s not all American, we love Canada!

Majority of canadian fuel is refined by the usa, this is definitely not a battle canada wants. Going to be interesting qs no one actually wins trade wars

Ridiculously proud Canadian here. As much as it genuinely upsets me that things had to come to this, it came as no shock. tRump has always been jealous of Canada - our oil, natural gas, timber, minerals, etc.. tRump is ridiculously jealous of our younger, fAAAr better looking country AND Prime Minister. \nSeriously though, Canadians ARE a proud bunch. We just don't feel the need to flaunt it. But this..... THIS one thing has sparked something SOOO fierce, SOOO visceral in my fellow Canucks that now that pride does not only burn in our hearts, but in our bellies..... on a guttural level.

United Kingdom ?? standards with Canada ??

America first. Canada will learn the hard way.

You are not Trumps friend.\nIdeologically you two are enemies.\nHe will destroy the Left, one at a time.\nSorry Canada, time to vote in a real man if you want to survive.

?I'm an American but I stand with Canada ??. Don't allow your country to be bullied. Cut the electricity ,show Trump that you won't be bullied by a narcissistic wanna be dictator!!

Canada needs a new leader, one with common sense. This man is a liar

Support for Canada from the U.K.??

Trump stop canada plz plz

As an American and stock investor, I firmly believe that Canada should just ban the export of goods, services and energy products to the US and increase their trade with other countries with the condition that trade will be unbanned once the entire GOP is removed from political power in all three branches of the US. They would be removed either willingly or not within days if not hours.

Thank you, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau! God Bless Canada!????????????????????????????????

This is a leader!!!! Canada ??

We are so stupid to damage our relationship with Canada!

We stand with ??. I’m an American and wants Canada to stand on business do not back down from trump. Showing love from North Carolina. It will hurt the American people but a lesson needs to be learned. We smart Americans with logic sense stand 10 toes down with Canada. Handle your business sir… we are with you. We have had enough with this fool and he needs to be gone by all means necessary. Time to take the gloves off AMERICANS and get this idiot out of office. ???

And although we are close you can beat us at hockey; for now but in 1980 we beat Russia and in 2026 we will beat Canada. \n\nAll that being said I love Canada and don’t support what one person is doing to damage that.

????\nNOBODY cares what Canada says or thinks. \nCANADA MEANS NOTHING

President chump is an ignorant pig, respect to Canada! do what you gotta do, if americans didn't want this then that orange stain of a president wouldn't have gotten elected, but all the orange stain minons voted for him, by choice.

From Florida, standing with Canada ??

What's wrong Russia did wrong to Canada then why scold putin, you and others aligning with Benjamin is that justification ,US puts tariff on you too do ,why this step you are terming as wrong, simple business rule

The Canada PM is truely a statesman all allied leaders are statesmen not the orange head bully

We are sorry ? Canada

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..

They're not doing this to push canada into anything. They're doing it to make up for the massive tax cuts for the rich -_-

The Netherland stands with Canada!!

So Canada is going to lower taxes by 25% right? to make up for the tariffs?

why china 20% and we europe 25% and canada 25% wtf is this

Thanking the good americans. I do feel sorry for you all. Canada will come out of this stronger and unfortunately some of us will never buy us until you get goverment that will honor their agreements....

Why is fool still representing CANADA \n....go away already you leftist failure

Trump wants Canada, just as Putin wants Ukraine.

As Americans we don’t want to be in a trade war with our amazing neighbors. Unfortunately many Americans voted in as president a psychopathic narcissistic woman hating racist zealot who has multiple bankruptcies and broken marriages as his claims to fame. Thank you Canada for standing for your citizens!!!

See Canada passed a border plan. Yet Trump had a border plan and he himself shot it down and voted against it. So, who is at fault here? NOT CANADA, NOT MEXICO.

Your just as bad as putin. What automobiles does Canada produce ? Oh none so maybe we dont sell you any cars from now on. We'll see who wins this.

All intelligent Americans know this is our president's fault. We stand with you Canada. Do what you have to do.

Dear Canada, I am so sorry my country is doing this. It is reprehensible and I did not vote for it. I apologize for the half of my country that is blind and uneducated. Do what you have to do, I support it.
