I knew the US would eventually fall, but I didn't know it'd only take six weeks to make CANADA an enemy. This is insane to me. Sorry Canada. I'll try and do my part. For right now, it's just simple vandalism.

Haha, Canada's gonna turn into a third world country.

Love from Australia Canada! So proud of you for standing up to to the orange autocrat! We are with you!

Clown Trudeau's been colluding with China for years. He sold Canada out to Xi and CCP, and these Canadan dummies still support him and wonder why their country is in turd state and somehow blame Trump. ?

As a european, I'll get canadian products to support canada

It's obvious that Donald doesn't care about U.S. - Canada relations because Donald is now working for Putin. And Putin's goal is to weaken the Western Alliance.

I am sure there is a lot more fentanyl detected going IN to Canada from the US, then going IN to the US from Canada

I’m an American… I’m so sorry, Canada. I love your country as well as ours. I don’t want this at all.

Sadly, I was Very Startled by This Trade War. This is Very Unecessary!!! Canada Is America's Closest Neighbour, How can President Trump even think of doing this to Canada??? I am TREMENDOUSLY DISAPPOINTED with DT!!!!! This is not the way to treat your Neighbour and Allie. Shame . . . Shame . . . . SHAME On Him!!!

The trade deficit between US and Canada is enormous! 420 billion from Canada to US, 65 billion from US to Canada! What's the benefits of putting tariff on US goods boy?!

Deeply ashamed to be American and that filthy parasite in the White house is NOT my president. Bravo canada standing up to that miserable bully!!

I am from Slovenia-EU I support Canada 100% I am so proud of you !

I am from Germany and I stand with Canada, Mexico, the Ukraine and with all US American citizens who are not supporting Trump.

The US has started an unsanctioned trade war against Canada. How is this different than what Russia is doing to Ukraine? The US needs to have sanctions slapped on them by the rest of the world like has been done to Russia.

Mr Trudeau, first time I’ve seen you give an intelligent speech. But as I see it, you have been bad overall for the country of Canada. Why don’t you accept Donald’s offer to be the 51st state of America? After all, as I understand it, Canada lives off the USA as it is. Why not be a part of something greater?

Go Canada

Not even the Canadians care what this clown says. They absolutely HATE him. Furthermore, Canada already taxes US goods at upwards of 350% in some cases. The time for taking advantage of America is over. EVERY American should be happy about that. The people in these comments supporting this tool are ignorant fools.

I stand by Canada but Trudeau you are trash and can’t wait for you to step down

From Texas, Trump is acting like a 5-year-old child. Canada has always been our closest ally; these tariffs are a slap in the face that will harm not only working class American, but it also spits on generations of close friendship and trust between our countries. This is lunacy. I pray for all of our Canadian friends and for all Americans.

Canada ?? ❤❤ I am American ?? I love Canada ❤

Donald woke up and chose violence. Hes clearly unfit. Sorry Canada that too many people here voted for a bully.

Well said. What companies and products can we, as American consumers, buy from to show our support of Canada?

I like Canada and I hope to be able to visit again in the future.

What does Canada sell us? I will stop buying.

This is beyond laughable.???? Canada has zero impact on the world.

If you are with Canada then move there and don't buy American products. Problem solved

Canada isn’t America’s closest friend ? That’s the United Kingdom (also a left wing hellhole)

Super discours. Hate que la bagarre commence ! Le Canada va sortir beaucoup plus fort et independant de cette guerre commerciale.

A man of principle against the one with no values. Canada fought back on principle grounds.

My family has been in America before it was the United States ( since 1738 ). The person that was elected our president is an embarrassment to us and our friends. We stand with Canada and Ukraine.

Looks like Canada back down…. Looks like you American uninformed foo-ls don’t know how REAL negotiations work

I support you, Canada! XO - an American

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

Has anybody ever even mentioned that border control happens at the country that you enter? There is no way for the Canadian government to control the flow of fentanyl when it's the US side that have the agents at the border. Why is this expected of Canada when it's the US agents that are in control of what comes in?

I apologize to Canada for anything DT says & does!!!\nJust please know that at least half of the US fo not agree with dt!

Add another 25% on Canada for talking smack.

If Canada is such a great friend of the US, then why have they not paid their NATO bill or manned their borders? Also, if Canada feels that the US is being unfair or not great friends and allies, then wy the public temper tantrum. Go find new friends build new alliances. Dear Canadians you are a sovereign nation. JT says you will fight? Why? The US is also a sovereign nation and has a right to be friends with any country. Yes, including Russia. Isnt that what you claimed when Russia invaded the Ukraine? Ukraine could be friends with anyone and did not give Russia the rigt to invade.

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

As an American, First, I am embarrassed by our petulant child of a President who has NO IDEA what he is doing. Canada…despite what you hear, we love you. Our incompetent government is our biggest problem and I am truly sorry for The Worst President we have ever had and his idiocy toward you. He’s our National Embarrassment. Canada we love you. ❤ I truly wish Trudeau was our President! A true pro with class and decorum.

New Zealander here. Stay strong Canada. Don't let Trump screw you over like he does to his own people.

PROUD of my TRUE LEADER. ??? Long live Canada!!!

I want to move to Canada cause this is what a true leader does and speak unlike this clown that’s in office now

All you US dems liberal cnn brainwashed morons speaking good about Trudeau is hilarious. This idiot has destroyed Canada that's why he and his libtards is getting the boot come election. Liberal woke idiots

Canada's Gavin Newsome ?

Poland with Canada ❤

Let's just stop this shit since when do we have issues between the US and Canada? Why is this happening? Please stop Donald this can't end good ?

As an enemy to USA, China got 5% less in tariffs than the ally Canada?

That’s how a real leader talks to his countrymen. Stay strong Canada, sorry we have so many morons in my country who support this idiot.

Mr. Tiptoe can shove it. Trump didn't start this trade war, Canada has been tariffing USA for decades. The whole world does... Starving out the one country that actually has freedom. Freedom to kick out government when it becomes corrupt and against the people. The western side of Canada is more than welcome to stop subsidizing the east, and pay like half the taxes. Instead of stars we will throw a couple maple leafs on it and call it a day.... In the interest of international security.

A Filipino here with friends in Canada and I support Canada, PM Trudeau and its citizens.
