Just a year ago, this guy was mocked by everyone for not being a man. But today the comments treats him as a real sigma? Trump has really changed the world's evaluation standards.

As a Canadian, I would like to thank every people from the USA against this madness from the Pumpkin Clown, Vancy the puppy, Lutnick the Dwarf and their circus crew. Thanks also to everyone else around the world also against this madness. As for the stupid ones supporting Trump... who cares about you? You're all low IQs and vain anyways. *LET'S STAND STRONG AGAINST TRUMP AND HIS CIRCUS!*

Everyone didn’t vote for Donald. Blame Trumpers!

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

Unfortunately, our government (republicans) at the moment don’t care about us. They taking away from our children’s education , (seniors) money for food and health care. They don’t care we die just as long as they give a tax cut to the rice. I really pray that the he changes his mind. However, I don’t really see it. He’s very crazy guy. They’ll have empathy for others. At time it seems like he’s calling his bluff to everyone. hHe don’t want to give in. He wants to be in control.

For all the Canadians looking to visit the USA we have no one running the parks lol ? everyone is fired ? also I’m sure this will hurt Canada ?? more than US unfortunately

Thank you from America. We don't want Trump either. Perhaps we can send he and Musk to Mars. I hope you give us 50% tariffs, let everyone who voted this charlatan into office pay!

In Toronto, I went grocery shopping after work and there was certainly a sense of national pride & determination in everyone there. Lots of people clustering around certain products and helping others, scanning products with apps that identify supply chains. As I went to the cashier, I dutifully returned my OJ to the store fridge and picked up some apple cider instead. To me this is more than existential, this is personal.\n\nWe will not back down; Canada shall prevail ?

Well everyone should know by now who influences Trump- Elon. This is in retaliation for calling out Elon’s Canadian citizenship

How are we getting out of this do you have the resources to ship to other places I haven't heard anything at all that's going to get us out of this hole everyone is going to to suffer all this is tic for tat

Just pray for the best everyone ❤

What is Trump’s ultimate goal ? Is he really doing this on his own without any advice? He seems to be picking fights with everyone. He hates China ??, now Canada ?? and the Ukraine ??. Something is not adding up

This is not anti-American, it is just fighting back from an unnecessary trade war. It does however break my heart because many Canadians have family on the U.S. side. I know it would also break my father’s heart as he grew up in New England and had a lifetime affection for the U.S. I despise politics and have not been a proud Canadian for a few years but I have to admit that this speech is getting me going again. Canada needs to get its act together and rebuild its military, not to fend off the U.S. but to hold its own should other countries decide we are ripe for the picking. I want U.S.-Canada relations to be tight again. We’re neighbor. We will have our disagreements and that’s fine but these trade wars will hurt everyone and, if it lasts, may leave lasting grievances.

As an American, I stand with Canada and any other country that is repelled and repulsed by the idiocy that is the Trump administration. Blaming anyone and everyone for our own shortcomings is a fools errand and a petty and idiotic way of governing. This country is under the rule of a narcissistic dictator wanna be and a cult of clueless clowns.

Dictatorship is coming to the USA. Vance is a real fascist. Everyone is applauding Trump like in the Third Reich or North Korea. Save America, guys, before it's too late.

Well said. Trump is screwing everyone.

Sorry, Trump does not care of past allies he is taking the US into a dictatorship. Just observing from Downunder the past few days shows clearly the tyrrany of authoritarianism as Trump and the Maga cult are destroying Democracy and the US Constitution. Only Americans can stop this trajectory to save themselves and everyone from Putin. They Trump Musk Vance and Maga are a national and international disgrace and a threat to the world… please all stop this tragedy by a convicted felon and insurrectionist. Listen to Bernie Sanders.

It would have been better to call the move “ill-advised”. Referring to POTUS by first name and saying it was “dumb” is just going to provoke DJT who everyone, fans and critics alike, knows is vain and does not have the humility to accept insults. It’s Trudeau breaking shtuff on his way out. He doesn’t have the mandate to put us in a worse position; he is being selfish, I think, in taking an unnecessary low-brow jab. Calling it ill-advised or similar gives Trump an out, to pass the buck to Lutnik when it becomes apparent that this tariff idea is a steaming pile for everyone involved.

He only cares about tariffs trump is actively trying to save the world. If russia takes Ukraine, the whole Europe is in trouble, including Canada. We are literally the only humans in our universe that we know of, and everyone is worried about trump. He fixings something thats so little of our problems. And ps Mr. Canada is no good.

No offence - is that not US imposing a tax as reciprocal/ you reduce your tax for American goods it automatically reduces your tax !! Why so much Politics in it! We can’t expect Americans to pay our bills , no everyone is super rich in America there are beggars at street we can see it

I am so sorry to all affected, everyone, from a very sad Canadian right now

To everyone who stand with us, please buy our products. This how you can help.

I can't believe he is siding with Russia. I don't get why he would want to risk having Canada as a potential enemy. I'm not sure to what extent, but still. I don't know much about politics but I hope for our sake, this isn't permanent. Why do that to an ally that we have been working with together for decades? Makes no sense. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just want this to get worse for us. Almost like be wants America go in the dirwcrion of becoming a communist country more than help it. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just hope this gets worse for us. Prayers for everyone.

Trump is trying to end war that’s why he wants to make peace with Russia! And there are a LOT of rude Canadians just as Americans! I don’t think Canada and America ever been allies or close friends HONESTLY speaking! But what Trudeau is making a point, this will not go well for everyone! Wow this handsome man knows French as well! How smart of him!

Canada can suck it. This isn't a trade war, this is America being done with catering to everyone. If it's a trade war it's only because of how those like Canada are taking it. We honestly don't need anything from Canada. We can do it ourselves, as we've done before.\nHow come it took this happening for Canada to finally speak out against several drug trafficking groups as the sick and twisted groups poisoning people on both sides of the border? Why couldn't you say that before?

I'm Ukrainian-American, and my husband is retired from US Marine Corps. We stand with Canada ?? \nThanks to everyone who supports Ukraine ??

Yall support everyone except for America. Thats crazy.

Canada met Trump's terms and he still screwed them, I don't blame them for retaliating. Losing allies and isolating us from the rest of the world is going to hurt everyone

Everyone’s praising Trudeau here, I’m proud of my PM, I’m certain his Father Pierre would be too. \n\nHere’s how Donald’s brain will receive this speech,” Blah Blah Blah, Donald you’re a smart guy, Blah blah blah… \nDonald’s brain ain’t right!\n\nMy sympathies to the USA, hang in there, we’ll forgive when the current nuisance tenant at the White Houses lease is up.

Trade war disaster, for everything and everyone

So, everyone's favorite leader of Canada failed negotiations with Trump and decided to go public by putting pressure on the American people who are paying for the whole buffet. Since when did politics and diplomacy become such an ugly mess?

Would be so cool if literally everyone stopped trading with USA

Trump isn’t sabotaging any of his plans by doing this. He’s doing exactly what he wants. Helping his billionaire friends make more billions and consolidate as much power as possible. He doesn’t really see people as people. Everyone is just a tool or a pawn for him to influence in whatever way that helps him get more power.

OMG ??? The U.S Government has really fucked up with Canada!!! This is your fault, Trump, you made it bad for everyone I hope that u r happy and able to sleep at night. The moment Trump came into office, it was going to be trouble for the country ?

Thanks sir and thanks to everyone supporting Canada

Kudos to the PM Trudeau for speaking out against Trump tariffs. Mr. Trudeau sees what the Trump voters fail to see prior to the elections. Trump is using the excuse of stopping drugs coming into the country. When in reality his tariffs will only benefit corporations. These tariffs will be passed down to the consumers who will pay for them. If everyone who voted for Trump weren't deaf and blind we would not have to now worry more about inflation and higher prices. All those who blamed Biden for increased prices should have looked back at the pandemic that Trump failed to acknowledge.

Let’s do business with China. They need coal and lumber and all the goods we got. Skrew the orange man and his mail ordered wife. Let’s get Chinese engineers and researchers to 0 Avenue and do some research on maple and pine trees. Let’s see what he would do in this situation. He thinks everyone is a female immigrant from Slovenia.

Even though he lost, he is showing he gives a shit about this country. I hope he makes everyone regret voting for PC

I have no horse in the race but I'm interested in seeing this canadian loyalty that everyone talks about.

Some advice to the US for the future: next time you elect a president, vet him/her for mental illness in every way aspect of life, well in advance. \nLook at how Japan vets everyone prior to even owning a simple gun.!!! Just saying!

This guy looks like a fake actor. People fall quick with words and fake faces. Canada is not helping much. There is gotta be a catch. Lots of people cross from Canada and nobody points at them. Get yourself to work fake face. It's time that everyone takes the US serious. Now cry. The US will start to produce stuff. Just watch.

Fu-c kem and everyone “standing with another country”. Gtfo easy.

Sad moment this is controllable by your head of govt . US and Canada should be work hand in hand . The Decision is bad for everyone in North America

Everyone calls Donald Trump, Donald because he deserves no respect because he isn't respectful himself.

Canadians are reasonable and polite.? Nicest people on the face of earth. Americans are also great. West please don't divide. North America is the best place on the earth. West is the inspiration for everyone in the world. Please unite please.

PAY UP.. EVERYONE GETS MAD WHEN THEY HAVE TO PAY.. FAIR TRADE.

Everyone trynna make Putin look like the bad guy, if you really look into the reason Russia invaded Ukraine u will understand look at Robert f Kennedy video he speaks the truth, Ukraine was killing Russian speaking people from Ukraine because they banned that language he invaded for many different reasons but you people don’t do your research u guys are blindsided lol

I wonder if it's the stain's plan to force displacement of everyone not maga. Maybe he's trying to drive us out into Canada.

OMG I love this!! ❤ Speaking truth to an utter ? ASSHOLE !! ?? if only EVERYONE would talk to Trump that way. ?? ❤️!!

Another American and 22 year Air Force veteran here, who stands by Canada and Mexico. This is idiotic and I am completely embarassed by Trump, everyone who voted for him and the sycophants who continue to support him. Unfortunately they cannot be reasoned with.
