Good luck to the real Americans standing against tyranny and the billionaire nazi mafia, Canada stands with you, but we have to get away from the insanity. good bye from your northern neighbours.

Arizona here. Standing strong with Canada.

American here....way to go Canada...I hate that we will have to suffer but keep standing up to this orange bully

wow, Canada your lucky to have a actual leader.

Thank you Canada, don't back down, go after trump

Canada should join the EU.

As an American I am sorry Canada. I did not want this ?

He is great leader ?\nI stand with Canada ?? \nStay strong ? with love from Czech

Wow, an intelligent, thought out speech that you can understand. No name-calling, no hyperbole, no making it about himself. It's like Canada has a grown-up for a president.

As an American I stand with Canada!

Stay strong Canada. Regarding democracy and freedom, we are united. A hug from Europe.

25%%-0% tariffs with the US gaining by 25% and Canada losing by 25% would have been ridiculous. Trudeau deserves many congratulations by hitting back with retaliatory 25% tariffs vs the US.

The Prime Minister of Canada of Justin Trudeau Trudeau is a true leader that Trump should pattern INSTEAD of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. \nAs an American in the USA, I stand by Canada and Mexico and will support you both $$$ and travel to your beloved countries!!!

Canada slam harder no one has monopoly of tariffs.…quite sad cos the people will be impacted

From Europe: Bravo Canada, great leader !

We support Canada ❤❤❤

Europe Stand with Canada ?????????

You mention that Americans are 30% more expensive than Canadians but you dont mention that the US is far more unequal with a Gini coefficient of 0.41 vs 0.35 in Canada. Now there is also a known issue with using GDP data to calculate productivity and that is that in sme countries the labor of GDP is much lower than in others. You then end up with Irish productivity being the second highest in the world only because most large US corporations operating in the EU register there to pay lower taxes but most of that revenue is just on paper for Ireland. or with Guyana whose oil and mining revenue makes it productivity equal to that of the US. Maybe that is the case, but is it? and if so why is the average wage in Guyana so much lower? so choosing only one specific stat can make any point of view seem true. you have to look at the bigger picture.\nnow the issue is Canada has been getting more unequal but it is still much better than the US. so what it means is that the higher worker productivity in the US benefits corporations and billionaires far more than it benefits the average American. now if we compare cost of living say between NYC and Toronto:\nCost of Living in Toronto is 37.5% lower than in New York, NY (without rent) \nCost of Living Including Rent in Toronto is 47.1% lower than in New York, NY \nRent Prices in Toronto are 59.2% lower than in New York, NY \nRestaurant Prices in Toronto are 34.5% lower than in New York, NY \nGroceries Prices in Toronto are 33.0% lower than in New York, NY \nLocal Purchasing Power in Toronto is 7.2% higher than in New York, NY \nand this is similar when comparing almost all large Canadian cities with a comparable US one. And whilst housing and NIMBYIsm is real issue you have very similar issues in the US which also has almost no mix zoning. But throw in safety nets and go ask Canadians if they want to change for the US system. I doubt most will. Sure some want things to change but some assuming everyone wants an ultra capitalistic society. most are ok with less growth ut better balanced growth (the exact opposite of the boom and bust US model)

Canada’s money laundering is going GREAT!

The biggest problem with Canada is not its sorry excuse for a PM (although he is a major problem), its Canadians themselves. Spoiled, arrogant, naive & extremely docile. Recipe for a perfect storm. 51 is our best play, but we'll miss the opportunity on that one too I bet.

Who thought treating real estate an investment asset wouldn't lead to any problems at all?\nAs an Alberta, canada's economic decline is absolutely disheartening and sad.\nI wish for annexation by the US.\n-Proud Albertan, reluctant canadian.

1. Canada is much more dependent on natural resource extraction than the US\n2. Canada's population is growing twice as fast as the US

Canada, more than poor economically, a socially sterile country. No sense of belonging, love, community, fun or pride. Traditional families are a rarity. Everyone wants to be alone so no wonder there's no housing. We gradually lost everything that brought us together to allow total sterility to rule everywhere..

Canada no longer exists it's worse then Mumbai India not thanks Trudeau and Marc clowns

Unfortunately half the population seems to not care about the situation Canada is in as it relates to the past decade and they only think about Trump now

Canada is like california, NIMBYs everywhere.

Because the USD is the world reserve currency, money flows into the US. And this unparalleled slush fund is then used to fund venture capital which, then, leads to more innovation in a virtuous circle. The Cdn$ is not a reserve currency, however. Uninformed or wilfully ignorant US politicians point to the US deficit as some kind of problem when, in reality, it represents how the US exports its problems onto the rest of the world that uses the US dollar as an exchange mechanism. If the US dollar loses its exchange value for other countries then the US will be faced with the same issues as other western countries--such as Canada. This isn't to exonerate the failures of both Liberal and Conservative Canadian governments over the past 20 years. More to say that productivity is lower in Canada than the US because Canada's currency isn't the international mechanism of exchange . . .

If Canada uses it's wisdom to choose a leader with an aptitude for economics, and behaves with the collectivistic humility we are known for, perhaps we will weather this storm and come out stronger on the other side. When making decisions from fear or anger, Canadians become individualistic and do our entire nation a major disservice by destroying any chance of using this crisis to propel our way out of the pit we are currently in. We need to avoid pointing fingers because for decades cowardly and self-serving decision-making have led us here. Never forget that the new immigrant delivering your food isn't your enemy - the con artist/felon trying to steal our resources and autonomy is.

Canada needs to stop living beyond its means. Get rid of un-necessary ministries, involvements in private sector that isn't mandated. A Canadian DOGE would be good too, to look line by line to get rid of waste, abuse, corruption. Stop electing the Liberals which like the US Democrats just spend the public money to buy votes like a drunken sailor.

As a Canadian from one of the best educational programs in the country, that produces the countries smartest engineers, and CS grads. I can say most of my friends plan to leave Canada in the long term or after Graduation.

Canadas “check engine” light has been on for awhile now.\nThe status quo clearly isn’t working.

We dont want a state that bends its knees to kings and queens. Canada hasn’t earned the honor

Canada is mental

I’ve known about this (Indians among them ) illegally heading to the USA from Canada for years. How can this surprise anyone?

Canadians cant afford Canada. We wont stand by and be invaded

Don’t you need a passport to cross from Canada into the USA?

Make and hold Canada Responsable for the Illegals / Aliens crossing the border as where are they getting their passports from. Common now.

Don’t get me started about Canada healthcare. It is worse than a third world country. I lived in this country for over 25 years and I wish I could say something good about our healthcare system.

Despite all the Fox new propaganda. America is still net exporter of Drugs, Guns and illegal migrants to Canada.

Bermula dengan pekerja asing...India..sekarang terpaksa dikeluarkan negara besar CANADA...JADI KITA??????

Now I know why Trump was talking about making Canada becoming one more USA state.....they cannot even defend their borders for real.....

The skilled professionals are chemists that make drugs in collusion with the Mexican cartels. Big problem here in Canada. Our present government is responsible.

Our weak foreign policy over the last ten years and the incompetence of the ministry of external affairs is amply exhibited.\n\nU S, now Canada , probably european countries and finally Australia might follow suit \nBack home in India the Modi government has completely ignored unemployment problems and is more busy tippling non BJP goverments and making the country a Hindu Rashtra . The question however remains what will the Hindus survive if there are no jobs , high inflation, poverty and now the influx of immigrants from abroad,, adding to all these.\nProbably that is why the BJP says हिन्दू खतरे में हैं।

Punjabis,gujrathis,malayalis,tamils ,haryanvis will effect rest don't care canada ??

Its about time. Too many dam Indians in Canada. Especially in the city of Brampton. Its like youre in fucking India. Wtf..

Yes Canada is much better! I only wish I could immigrate there but @ 70 yo not much luck

I am waiting when the deportation starts in canada.

I do not care how long the border is between the US and Canada...BUILD A WALL. BOTH countries will be responsible for their half. I am so sick of supporting all of these illegals!!!!

truddie trudeau must go, stop all support, purchases, military aide for canada and build another wall.

Lots of Diploma Mill Scams happening in Canada \nLots of Cash under the table SCAMS. \nMoney goes back to India. \nCanada Loses!
