He left out how Canada was already charging the United States 300% tariffs… So did CNN… go figure… Enjoy getting wrecked Canada ?

Clearly and eloquently put by Mr Trudeau - a man morally superior to Trump and also, of course, of Vance. By the way Trump, are you going to put any tariffs on Russian goods whilst they continue to attack Ukraine, or are you going to continue treating your pal Putin with kid gloves? Canada, we stand with you ?? ??

Any automobiles and trucks made by US companies shouldn't be subject to tariff's as they bring jobs to your country. This goes for any US corporation who has factories in Canada.

lol. What a loser your own country hates you and now your screwing up the country more. Also Canada already charges the USA tariffs long before this came up.

Ya buddy trudeau put carbon tax liberal stole 400m in the past 18months. So trudeau can remove that tax and keep tariffs from America. Because they protect us. Trump knows this. No1 in Canada likes liberals ?

Canadians are reasonable, so is it fair that Trudeau is increasing our carbon taxes another 20% next month? Please reason that neon double standard. He’s literally the worst PM in Canadian history. \nIn Nov 2024 the BIGGEST drug bust in Canadian history took place in BC. The amount of fentanyl alone would have killed the entire population of Canada TWICE. International cartels involved. So if it takes tariffs to make our borders safe, that’s on Trudeau, not Trump. This security should have been sorted out a long time ago.

Hopefully, the US quits giving Canada 200 billion a year in aid . This clown is trying to have Trump raise Canadians tariffs even more. Maybe close the Border .

I voted for Trump, but it's hard not to agree with Trudeau on this even though I find this guy to be extremely unpleasant. There's no reason to start trade wars all over the world and in particular with our neighbors. It's one thing to threaten tariffs and a very different thing to actually apply them. If you do it has to be accompanied by a lot of diplomacy so that the other country is not overreacting, but Trump has been super combative prompting our neighbors to respond in kind to save face. While past deals may not have been great for US, this is not the way to handle our differences. Billionaires like Trump and his friends will be fine, but the majority of ordinary folks in the US and Canada will suffer. Very dumb, indeed.

What's wrong Russia did wrong to Canada then why scold putin, you and others aligning with Benjamin is that justification ,US puts tariff on you too do ,why this step you are terming as wrong, simple business rule

Trudeau needs to step down before he completely destroys Canada. Tariffs aren’t new to any the US or any other nation it just seems new to the people who are unaware of this.

Please know that many Americans don’t agree with these tariffs placed on Canada either, that Canada has always been a good neighbor, always will be. These are sad and dangerous times for many US citizens with this present administration wreaking havoc on our beloved country.

Tariff's on what? I took a hard look at what I've bought in the last 20 years and I couldn't find one single thing that was made in Canada....

I guess its just fine for Canada to rape American manufacturers with huge tariffs, but we reciprocate with the same tariffs to protect our manufactures and workers, and it's the end of the world. Seems like complete fairness to me.

I hope Canada's retaliatory tariffs target products from Trump states. Also, listening to Trudeau reminds me how much I miss having an intelligent, articulate POTUS. Four years of The Orange Retard, then four years of Geriatric Genocide Joe, and now four more years of The Orange Retard. Why is it too much to ask that We Americans have an articulate, educated leader who's undiminished by senescence (bonus points for speaking French!)

Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken calmly the Truth of the situation, that Trump has imposed upon Canada and the USA.\nTrump does not care how much American people will Suffer, and has utter contempt for Canadians.\nThese Tariffs are Stupid and Pointless, that will do no good for Canada or the USA, and will hurt the USA the Most.

So Canada is going to lower taxes by 25% right? to make up for the tariffs?

Trudeau is a weak little man. Canada has always had tariffs on US goods, but now that the US does it back, they cry about it.

I don't support any of this tariff crap, but neither do I support these liberal parasites. Canada needs better leaders.

It’s funny how everyone thinks it’s one sided but Canada already has 25% tariffs against us, we’re literally just matching them.

you know we americans are pathetic. throw some unwarranted tariffs against canada and it bonds all Canadians together ready to fight. take a foreign born, unelected billionaire who takes a chainsaw to our government after a reactionary think tank wrote a document saying they were going to destroy our government an create an autocracy--- a think tank composed of people who are now in the trump administration----and now we are aligning with Putin and we americans do nothing. this is sad. we are losing our country

The asterisk beside all those talking points is that those stats came AFTER the announcement of the tariffs...Trudeau has systematically crippled Canada. The US has all the resources that Canada does, but why harm your lands when you can buy from someone else?...the US is a consumer, but with the ability to self sustain. Mexico and Canada are mad their best customer is tightening their wallet. It's all postering.

Canada is a clown country. Canada Tariff the crap out of the USA. Sorry girly man we have a President with balls. Your speech is worthless tripe.

How do you feel about 25% tariffs imposed to your country, Prime Minister? Think about how other countries feel when Canada imposed tariffs on them?

Trumpy will fold, he always does. Canada keep your tariffs, teach Trumpy a lesson!!

All you had to do was protect the border and lower the many tariffs you have on US goods. Over a million people in the US have died due to fentanyl and the human trafficking. Canada and its bureaucratic masters are realizing that America no longer wants to be part of the new world order and global elite bureaucratic government. The US is 37 trillion in debt we are currently dismantling our own corrupt bureaucracy and ending the Hegemony to focus on America first instead of policing the world for the elites. Canada, Mexico and the EU better adjust because no more handouts are coming we simply can't afford it.

If Canada can't survive with the new tariffs then that's your leaders fault.Not our fault

Canada must impose tariffs on energy , don't be weak, don't back down , what are you waiting for Canada ?? \ngo for broke, make the moscow agents feel it

Yet Canada already had tariffs on USA, hypocritical speech.

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

What a big (sad little) man! How happy he is to have this tariff situation for his personal political gain. He (and my provincial premier) puts his (and my) country Canada at financial peril with his bluff and bluster for a mistaking a negotiation for a battle, the latter that he won't win.

CAnada have treated American unfair for years. So trump put a tariff tax on Canada to make it fair. Trumuea is a evil person. But Canada already know that my friends.

As a Canadian, the ONLY positive thing these tariffs have brought is unity between our Canadian party leaders and a greater commitment among citizens to put Canada first in our daily lives. Whether that be through mindful purchasing, supporting small business, creating stronger partnerships with the MANY other nations who remain our friends, or eliminating interprovincial trading barriers, we will face this challenge head-on and will come through this stronger than ever before! #canadafirst #canadaisnotforsale

Haha so 133% tariffs on eggs?? Thanks canada

Do you people even have a clue on how to negotiate or do you accept the first offer that you receive at a car dealership? Stop judging Trump because you're using Biden, Obama, and Clinton as barometers and America was taken advantage of during those administrations. As far as tariffs are concerned, Canada and Mexico have committed troops at their border since Trump initiated tariffs. Canada and Mexico are cutting down the flow of fentanyl into our country since Trump initiated tariffs. Trudeau is talking tough because he came off as weak the last time Trump scolded him. Trudeau is scheduled to meet with Trump in a few days. Why is that? Canada will meet Trump's demands on fentanyl and tariffs; and America will profit in the short and long term. Stop believing the fake news who does nothing but create fake chaos no matter what Trump does. These tariffs do not affect our country in any way over the short term. The only reason that the markets are tumbling is because the fake news wants to create panic when there is none. Same thing with Zelensky. You idiots are rooting for a war to continue because Trump is mean. Zelensky is ready to work for peace because the mean guy yelled at him. Wake up idiots! We need strong leaders not people like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, and Sanders who only care about their own interests. You'll find out soon enough who's making money off the Ukraine War.

The trouble is, that none of the issues Dumpsterfire has brought up on the root cause or intent for his useless dangerous and destructive tariffs, aee actually relevant to the imposition of a terrorist. He is just a two-year-old and an old man's body, throwing a temper tension, because Canada told him where to go and we drew him a map to get him there faster. We refused at fifty first state proposal and treated it as the threat that it is. When he imposed tariffs, Canada slapped him back. TWICE. He might think of himself as the most powerful man on the planet but in reality he is, as the rest of the world, even Russia sees, the most pitiful man on the planet

Donald Trump’s latest 25% tariff on Canada isn’t about America—it’s about himself. Now that he’s not begging for your votes, he’s unleashed: no accountability, no loyalty to the people, just pure greed. This is a blatant betrayal of public trust—a president exploiting power to pad his pockets while burning bridges with allies. Wake up, America!.

Trump is literally a moron. People of Canada, please know that the American people do NOT support Trump or his Tariffs.

Canada has 233% tariffs on USA dairy. 43% on beef. Shall I go on. What a joke trudope

If Canada doesn't want it then tariffs should be zero all across the board or the same tariffs on everything all across the boardm

Not sure why he’s mad at the tariffs if it’s reciprocal. Unless of course, Canada will be losing more money because they export more.\nAlso not sure why he’s crying to the US citizens and our economy instead of his own.

That woman saying antiamericanism as a Canadian we aren't anti anything but Trump. CNN is now not saying anything bad against Trump now they use soft language you guys used to be the good guys. For the record China has sent delegates to Ottawa about byd and taking the tariffs off the car manufacturer and there is talk about 100 percent tariff on teslas. Long live Canada Slava Ukraine from Summerland bc Canada

I'm an American and I don't want this, I didn't vote for this, I'm upset by this, and I'm by no means the only American that thinks trade war with Canada is stupid, half the countries number one imports came from Canada, tariffs on a trade partner and Ally is absurd!

We voted to be more independent from other countries. We voted to make America a producer again. \nIf Canada and everyone else wants to be butt hurt about it then so be it. It also makes sense to alight yourself with the country that could take out all of the other countries. Putin won’t live forever either. This is about the long game. America first! \nWe don’t need yall and yall don’t need us so you shouldn’t care and flip out over tariffs lmao

For the intellectually challenged President Trump is slapping these tariffs on Canada because immigrants are flying into Canada and entering the US as illegal aliens. Canada is not curbing the fentanyl entering our northern border.\nTrudeau has not shown the WH he is serious about locking down his side of the border. Maybe Canada should start there.

please... get the facts straight. The US didn't hit Canada with Tariffs.. Trump hit Canada with Tariffs. Let's be honest, without Trump this would never have happened.

I'm trying to pick which idiotic thing this moronic president has done is the worst. The Tariffs. The Ukraine/Russia war. The Gaza handling. The Covid handling., or all of the above. I'm sure I'm missing something, but those should suffice..I'm American, and I STRONGLY stand with Canada! ..Oh! Mass deportations! How could I forget?!

And the latest from Trump now is that he is upset about Canada countering with tariffs, calling Trudeau for governor of Canada, another 51st state reference? is that he could increase the tariffs on Canada. Mr Trump, you fool, what goes around comes around.

The tariffs make sense. Putin does not want Canada and the US to prosper… and Putin has Musk and Trump.

Free canada and mexico from tariffs

Bro, Canada tariffs are a drop in the bucket... You don't buy enough from us to make a dent on that front.. Btw, you're speaking to a bunch of people who lost the election... STFU and drive your square -wheeled car to a library and read a book while you resign and let that other guy run your country your corrupt POS.
