I like Trudeau. He is a smart guy. The world is changing and we need to make new alliances. I also think that the US gonna leave NATO. We gonna fight for our freedom!

Our soldiers who fought and lost their lives fighting the Nazi's, are rolling around in their graves

I'm from colorado usa and am so happy to see countries fight back against trump - take him down pls.

Dear Canadians, the American citizens not want this. We love you guys as our biggest ally and partner. Everything you are saying is correct. Please stand up to these bullies and keep fighting for what is right! Apologies from the u.s. citizens!

Trump does not speak for all USA citizens. Many of we Americans also want to be friends and allies and are totally against the Trump policies. Remember, he only won the election by 1.47% of voters with 89.2 million eligible (unbelievable) voters not bothering to voting. USA is worth fighting for!

How many people grew up in Divorced families with arguments and name calling and all the insults? I’m just wondering because the way our president in America is acting along with JD Vance and all the MAGA politicians they all act like those parents with the constant negativity and verbal abuse that all the crap that they put the American people through!!! How many times has our country gone through anything serious within or outside of our country? I am 62 years old and I can tell you there has been many, but we have never had a president / vice president and all the politicians on one party sit there and act the way these IDIOTS act! I was just thinking about this because of the constant stress I feel on a daily basis with this administration! It is a public disgrace as our trailer trash parents fight in public! Makes you want to run away!! I cannot stand the people responsible for what we are experiencing in our country right now! I blame Trump, Musk and all those American that voted for these idiots!! F” off!!

I'm European and I really can't understand how you can make an economic trade war with an ally like Canada, a close and so friendly neighbor.... A dumb decision not only for the W Post... And all of this will end up heavily impacting Americans as well, also because besides Canada there is Mexico, China and the whole of Europe. In such a war there are no winners.... I really hope that the American people understand this and start fighting for this nonsense to end. \nAnd when I then hear President Trudeau called governor.... Well I get even more angry. This shows even more (but there was no need) who trump is. A suburban bully. A rude man. An unscrupulous man who passes over everything and everyone.\nAmerica is turning into something I no longer recognize....\n\nKeep going Canada!

The trunp administration has got to go!! PERIOD TIME TOO FIGHT LIKE HELL PEOPLE!!

Yo Trump, Canadians are wild, bro. They may be polite and all but not in a fight. They know how to fight dirty… like really dirty. Buckle up American! Ol’ boy Trump gonna get us in a big mess.

And to think a few months ago he was so low in the polls and so unpopular he decided to step down to give his party a fighting chance in the next election. Just imagine if Joe Biden had shown that same kind of leadership. We may not have a second Trump presidency to deal with.

Canada is strongly anti fascist:\n1) we are against rascism and try to fight that human tendency\n2) we believe in religious tolerance and we don't fear secular views\n3) we honour our intelligent and hard working women \n4) we don't worship cult leaders who prey on our fears\n5) we are happy to live financially comfortably but don't worship the dollar\n6) we honour our military but worship peace\n7) we love our country fiercely but respect others and see their strengths\n8) we respect rather than fear sexually diverse persons\n9) we try to understand different perspectives of history\n10) we believe in equity and truth rather than Darwinian power (might is right?-no)\n11) we believe in a social democracy that pools its taxes and provides for all citizens

Not all Americans support communist countries but I think there all right we should be fighting for our freedom for all And get rid of communism we all don't need to buying Chinese which is a communist country products we need make our own with democracy together

Sacrifice for TRUMP ??? job, health, family, and now your 401ks fight fight fight for Trump ????

As an American, I hope that our allies can recognize that we are prisoners in Trump's corruption. We are as abused children in a toxic family who wait in the window, looking for someone who can help as the U. S. has, as we used to, when we weren't led by an insane person and his greedy regime. People are protesting and fighting in all kinds of ways but this regime insulates itself.

I appreciate the approach from PM Trudeau and can feel his regret for having to do this. As americans we have to fight against our own leaders meanwhile their job description is to be in service of their constituents. How hard is it to make sure everyone has enough and no one too much or too little?

America we can fight tyranny. Remember theirs more us than our government. Resist!

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.

Ukraine needs to join Russia and stop fighting

Trump uses drugs as the reason we all know that is not true. Trump has to be the feared leader, as he cosy up to Putin. Trump likes isolation he wants America to be Russia allied We the people will survive but know that gaining our trust back will not be easy but we are up for the fight. We will not get in bed with a country that is siding with Putin

Real Americans will always stand with our allies. We are heartbroken, and it’s time for our people to fight. We will never support this current administration ??

Why Trudeau is still PM He betraying Canada ?? again and again and trying to pick a fight USA ??. We Canadian do agree with Trudeau.

Bravo!?????? I am an American and I stand with Canada. Leaders from other countries around the world should be as strong as your leader Trudeau! This message could not be more clear or direct. And I’m glad Trudeau didn’t call him with president in front of his name. trump doesn’t deserve it. He is a disgrace to America and exactly what America is not about. No one knows how he could get here But it’s a nightmare that we are trying to wake up from. Trump has spread cancer in America and we are fighting for our lives. We are deeply sorry for all the pain we are causing people around the world. This is our fight and we unfortunately are making it everyone’s problem. We need help, so thank you for everything you are doing.

Bravo Canada - as an American I stand against all bullies and my president is not a leader but he is a bully. I have no respect for him or anyone in his administration. He is a puppet of the Russian Federation because he is hostage to V. Putin. My supposed leader is a coward. He instead of helping a country at war with a vicious enemy and helping that country he betrays them and cuts aid and forgets the very foundation of this country that fought a vicious enemy to be free and independent. Fight for all you are worth Canada. Most people in the United States Stand With You - those who don't are supporters of a corrupt criminal posing as president.

Trump loves dictatorships and has had their strategy explained to him personally by the three most successful ones (Putin, North Korea and China): \n1. Take over a party and make it compliant \n2. Get the media representatives with the highest reach on your side \n3. Start fights with your neighbors \n4. Drive your population into poverty \n5 Throw toilet paper into the crowds begging for help \n6. Receive their praises and you'll never have to be afraid of being re-elected again.

Do not fight just cooperate!

America is with you Canada fight against these Bullies Don't give in to them we are with you we win we stick together and not back down

Trudeau is correct\nSeeing the U.S. fighting with its allies is exactly what China and Russia want

If Canada as a nation unites they can fight this! Get rid of the interprovincial trade barriers!

Its the trump admins new world order. He gonna snuggle up to Putin while crippling his adversaries. Gonna cripple us in the process so we can't fight back.

Trudeau is a total DICKHEADD always trying to scare americans, AND hes hella manipulative , he shoud worry about canadians and stop trying to pep talk U.S natives like were babies , we know whats up, hes just mad that we Americans are standing up to the bullshit were fuckenn tired as well,, weve been seeing prices go up, and thats why were fighting back , FUCKK YOUUUU CANADA AND YOUR LEADER!. straight up like that,, yall dont give a fucc about us yall never do. yall didnt send help when the fires were happening in california.

Thank you PM Trudeau. Fight for democracy and our freedoms. ❤

Our current government is deplorable and I want no part of it. This man is not my president. Is destroying my country. I am a disabled American veteran and I did not spend eight years in the military for this. I want to come and live in Canada. This is not right that is not normal it's not legal moral or ethical. I am so glad you're fighting back.

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.

Alas. We used to fight Nazis together.

He talks lk he is fighting... noot good

I never imagined in my life seing a comunist fighting for free trade...

let us - as Canadian be more united . We'll fight back as Canadian.

The Trump doctrine: Make friends with dictators and fight democracy

We are ready for this fight Canada and Germany!!!bring it on!! Get ready to go hungry and get ready for your taxes to go up without our military!! Bad move Canada we are tired of your half ass support if that’s what you want to call it!! WE DONT NEED YOUR COUNTRY BUT YOU CERTAINLY NEED US!!

thank you for fighting back, Canada, please help us Americans fight back too #dumpTrump

Now THAT'S a real leader of the free world. No russian asset, here! Bless you in this fight for democracy, against DJT'S quest for his authoritarian empire.

As an American I agree with Canada. The only way to get our dictator childish president to stop is to fight back. Hit him in his wallet. Our president is shameful and an embarrassment. Destroying all our alliances and supporting Russian dictator is absolutely unacceptable

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.

Trump thinks the Canadians are pushover! Your in for a big fight Trump. Watch out for the quite people Trump! Most of us would never fight with Canadians! In fact if Trump trys something many would help you!

That is real leader! Justin we love you even Europe. Not that bully in the oval office. US Americans wake up and fight for your freedom and democracy!

Good for you Justin. As an American senior, I am afraid for my life. If they take my social security and health care, I will be homeless and die. Please, everyone, fight that bastard in the white house anyway you can.

It is vital to create a new organization for commerce that unites all the countries that are being threatened by Trump. Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, UK, South Korea, and contries that are willing to fight against trump tariffs. Working together is more than necessary to create a competitive and sustainable economic environment

Canada can help in the fight against illegal fentanyl by getting help from Chinese troops to protect the borders

Who the hell gets into a fight with Canada? They are so nice, they don’t even know how to fight. Team Canada: “hold my beer…”

We will not bow to the corruption regime! Fight back Trump we want change!! No more money laundering! Use your assets accordingly if you don’t like the tariffs.
