Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

Trudeau slapping a brain cell tell the American people that you're going to do everything you can possibly do to stop drugs coming into our country and killing people

Trudeau, you need to go! You got us into this mess........Now don't be a cry baby.....Learn how to be a true Canadian. You can't beat the US. They are 10 times larger than us......

I Iook forward to raising a glass when we learn the news that this undercooked mutt has failed to recover from a bad fall. \n\nSadly Vance is next in line and other undercooked mutts.  \n\nNever imagined we'd go from a golden escalator to an alley between a porn shop and landscape office to hell in a hand basket... at least in my lifetime. Shit show engaged.

Well I guess the price of syrup is going up. ?

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

And Putin is loving this seeing you fight economically and thought that you is harming Russia Russia understand only one thing you must get as hard an persistent thy are stand you ground in Ukraine and all of this will go away not only economically

Are we really going to let this guy lead our country for another 4 years? It’s only been a month. What’s going to be left?!? I guess we’ll be comrades with the Russian.

Go Canada!

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

Trump knows what is going on. Trump is beholden to Putin because Putin has a secret on Trump and Trump is going to do everything Putin says do. He will jump, run, kiss N. Korea's ass. Trump is going to do everything Putin says do to make sure Putin keeps Trump’s secret secret. Trump must have done something over in Russia and Putin got him on video tape. It must be a doozie, something that Trump shouldn't have been doing, and Putin's got Trump by the balls. Trump is going to jump, lie, cheat, and do tariffs (as a smokescreen) for his treachery with Putin. This is why he said we won't have to ever vote again. He's planning to pull a 'Hitler-move'! Trump and Musk are weakening America. Trump, Vance and Musk are working to make all our allies our enemies to help Putin and N. Korea be able to take over America, then Trump thinks they'll let him be our King. He's so stupid. Putin and N. Korea are crazy but they will not let Trump be King. They want America for themselves. Wake up America! Trump is selling out America! He's trying to put us into WW III, and make sure we do not have any allies, and if you don't see the writing on the wall, y'all need to go back to school. Pay attention to history. Poor, dumb-ass Republicans. They're being used.

Trump is standing on business! ? no more free handouts. He’s putting America first ? ? ?. The adults are back in charge. We sat back and let the clowns play for 4 years. Your experiment is over now. Democrats nearly destroyed our country. We will save it for you. You'll enjoy the win in spite of your whining and delusions. You're welcome. Now, go color or something. Daddy has work to do.

Trump you need to go away says X ha ha kid so cute but telling the truth go away Trump go to outer space

Trade War its on. Canada is going to cut electricity too.

Geesh! What in the Trump is going on.

I think this effect has already been anticipated by the current US administration and I surmise they will shift their trade relations with Russia perhaps they can get a better deal with Russia. Sad but perhaps true. I hope not as it is going to be an end to liberal democracy ushering the age of authoritarianism and empire building.

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

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.

It’s ok, we already found where are Money is going.

Canada is going to bail

The world is going to going to come to oppose your ignorant fascist government. Nothing good comes from fascism.

Canada is 347 0ut of 348, global container ports, Trudeau stymied growth, infrastructure, and Canadas future, he blames the USA, for his only push three issues, LBGt, carbon tax and Dei... Why no new industries built in Canada, we essentially only sell cars and oil to the USA at 20% discount. Try buying Canadian, but these are all foreign products, because Canadian bureaucracy and poor productivity, ie, unions and government employees all at home. EXAMPLE, after owning hunting rifles for sixty year, Trudeau minions, contacted my at least six time when I attempted to renew my firearms licence, even phoning my wife for a old man... Go figure, Trudeau only knows how to Hire voters... The problem is Trudeau, you voted for it so now you will pay!!!

OMG , America is going to be filing BK , Save your money

Is Trump a Putin’s hand to demolish the world order? Unbelievable what is going on. This trump guy must be very very sick or just a traitor

Go Justin!!!!!!!!!!❤

why is Justin even speaking? he has already resigned as the worst prime minister in our history! one last flush to get that turd to go down. election already. we are so done with you liberals destroying Canada . US tariffs =25%additional tax onto Canadians using US products =MORE TAXES to Canadians. tax me harder liberal so I can work more

Go canada

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?

Trump has money. None of this is going to bother him at all.\nHe just wants to bully others, to try and look strong, and menacing.\n\nHe isn't smart enough to realize it just makes him look petty and dumb.

Canada mas and can not pay hai tariffe go on hi court withe your tariffe payper from lanze . ..eu and Afrika and zuid Afrika and morroc and azia stent withe you

Go ??! From NZ.

Who benefits from this? him! he gets to blame Canada when American prices go up and his supporters will not need or want to hear the truth, they'll be willfully ignorant. If he genuinly admires Putin he'd love nothing more than a Belarus of his own to compare notes with at their little bromance dates! Sad thing is im not trying to make any kind of joke, i really believe he would love that\n\nI'm in UK. Stay strong Canada we love you. Swapping OUT any US products i Possibly can (family too). Also going to look for and swap IN any Canadian produts we can \n\ni cant find emoji flag on this keyboard but imagine Many Canadian flags, hearts a Welsh flag a Union Jack and even more Canadian

How can he be speaking directly to president Trump? I don’t see Trump? Trump’s not crying. Who’s whining? Who’s crying? Who’s going to start paying their fair share? Who’s going to stop gaming the US? Lots of questions.

Are you sure what you’re talking about because I’m not really think so go ahead see who’s gonna suffer bye

I never wanted Trump to win the election. Unfortunately those of us who don't agree with what's going on in Washington are going to be dragged to the depths of despair due to the lunacy of somebody who, idk how people agree with him, is insane.

Damn, let’s go Canada. ??❤

This guy still cannot still go away ?

Hey here's a law democrats! When trump starts a war, his and his rich friends can go fight it. And they can fund the session while they are at it. Just saying. Not really strategic to pisss off the 2 allies on your border?‍♂️

F that POS! Time for the USA to level the playing field in trade. Lets go!

Go prime minister treudou apply it to Trump administration???????

After the last four years of the Biden Harris administration shitshow I think we'll live! We've been going two hundred billion dollars in the hole dealing with Canada Canada.

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

Go, Trudeau! I’m an American that supports you.

Now Americans can find out exactly what it means to vote for teflon Don. All those tarrifs he imposes will be passed onto the American consumer. Funny how NONE of that was made known just prior to the American presidential election. Teflon Don was just waiting to drop it like a bomb after he took office. I feel sorry for the people it's going to hurt.

Canada Latinas EurAsia HELLO! WORLD'S PEACE PEOPLE'S! *Not problems Comrades! O.K. Ukraine I'S USSR! Forever! NATO's GO HOME GO HOME NOW! ALOHA! Hi! Guys! WE KNOW HELP YOUR! Guantanamo NoW needs WANTED ZELEN$$KI arrested orders! FBI! NoW Guys NoW! Don't Worry MY Dears FRIEND'S!*\nALOHA!!!

I stand with canada…trump can go to hell now

This is what the some rich wants democracy that works only for them. Strip the poor of any chance of feeding themselves while they lavish in the riches going straight to hell if they don’t turn around.

Justin is.gonna be gone soon. And Trump is going to wait. And the next leader of Canada will be an ally of Trump

Just go and look on the streets of Vancouver: Drug addicts and homeless people in every corner.

MR PM if this is going to be tough and we will all pull together to overcome this, kindly stop raping our income with exorbitant taxes. Tell your provincial PMs to back off and help families. Let those who earn money to support their families and well being, KEEP most of their money. Don't claim it to serve bureaucratic procedures and policies that are inefficient and don't benefit Canadians.
