Our government does not care about us or anyone else in the world.

With these tariffs, Trudeau has made assurances to the Canadian businesses and ppl that they will be protected by the government. What assurances has our President to make sure our businesses and our ppl are protected? I’ve heard nothing…

On behalf of the unintelligent/uneducated Americans in our country, I am so sorry for how all this is affecting you (Canada) and other countries in our world. Please know our current Government is not a reflection of all of us—many of us are just as mortified and disturbed by what is going on?

Guys, are you still in doubts and pretending to now see the country going down! You need to call your lawmakers now to change sides and have some immediate checks and balances on this government. Or else most of your wealth will be GONE while the Billionaires are getting richer. Stop the partisan politics now and defend your interests, America!

Canada, I am standing with you from NC. Your leader and government are responding in an appropriate manner. trump and vance have brought shame to the US. All the lives that our country has lost in wars were not sacrificed to come to this moment.

I am so saddened and embarrassed of our government. I wish we had a leader like Justin Trudeau.

Not our government just one asshole and a bunch of cowards in the Republican Party!

was good to see so many canadian & ukrainian flags out in my city today. the shelves in stores with american products are empty, just like the past promises of US government. ?

Unfortunate! Trump\nIs not my government not my president! Please know that we are more upset and angry than everyone else! Every 70 million democratic voters are crying out and saying Trump will destroy everything, and it’s already happening! The only thing we can say is: “we told you so MAGA believers”

Atta boy Trudeau, whoop our ass.. as an American, set our government straight..

How reassuring for Canadians. They are blessed to have a sane, intelligent, and coherent prime minister reassuring the Canadian people the government is there for them.

Donald Trump has been compromised, he has been bought and paid for by Putin the Russian empire. He has no business being in the oval office let's start the impeachment process now. Donald Trump is cashing in on the American presidency with Russia. I'm sure we'll find out down the road that he's been taking payoffs from the Russian government for a long time. I'm sure Putin's got plenty of dirt on Donnie.

Very well put. Ashamed of our government.

Canada. We apologize for the stupid people who voted for this government. You are our brothers and will always be.

He still is the leader of a corrupt liberal party, Canadians don’t let this spoof be our leader , remember all of the corruption his government is trying to cover up

Dude, our government sucks.Trump is an idiot. Elon Musk should go to Mars and stay there. It is not all of us who want this. It is a very few greedy people in charge.

Most Americans are ashamed of what is happening in our government....

Now I don't want to dampen the positive comments being direct to us Canadians which we all appreciate. However, I don't want people to forget that this individual talks about making things affordable for their citizens. There is a reason he has resigned. Don't forget that our country unreasonably fights itself on sooooo many things that make items in Canada so much more expensive than they need to be. I was hopeful our own government would make living more afforable for all Canadians by putting a freeze on things such as the Carbon Tax....guess that wasn't in the cards!? Together I hope that intelligence and common decency prevails.

Trump is irresponsible, reckless, and absolutely has no idea how to run government, this is the worst president in American history

Screw you and your woke agenda. Attacking us Americans and the government we chose to represent us and is putting us first. Tell your lies to someone else.

As an American, I DONT SUPPORT OUR president!! I never have! My grandfather, makes me proud of my Canadian heritage and i support YOU doing anything you need to for your country! He is isolating us from our allies and i need to appologize for his arrogant and bad behaviour! I love your country and my own, but i DONT support my government right now!!!

Very good news is❓❓ against Canadian government?? and trudo (interfere with indian) TERERISM ???) Now Canada???? will stopped at the end

I'm a US Military Veteran; they've ripped up 10 million contracts we had with our government for our medical, we support you 100% and we do not blame you for wanting to fight the Russians in the White House.

We don't want it either. Our government just doesn’t care what we want.

Trump is purposely destroying our country as we know it to pay back Putin for helping him win the election, keeping trump out of jail, and making available our coffers as trumps personal piggy bank. Trump is in bed with Putin. This is planned. Trump is a traitor and so are the people he has put in place in our government. I am heart broken but not about to give up.

We have a corrupt government that has full responsibility for the Shit Show.Our corrupt government has been a corrupt government since the beginning of America and it's time for them to be exposed and I'm here to do just that. I'm Victim of District Supreme Court of Kansas and Government, Google Irene Pacheco vs State of Kansas, the only Mexican American in history who took the State of Kansas to the District Supreme Court of Kansas the District Supreme Court of Kansas: Violated my right to sue my employer the EEOC gave me, the Federal Judge signed a Pretrial Judgment for 100K, lost wages and the return of the lower paying job I worked for to support my 2 daughters, Falsified Federal Documents Tampered with Federal Records Deformation of Character Mental Anguish, Obstruction of Justice, Bias, Abuse of Power, Denied a hearing, Not informed that my case was moving on to the District Supreme Court of Kansas. The corrupt government underestimates the intelligence of the American citizens and I made history due to their corruption, I'm here to be their worst nightmare. The corrupt government is corrupt on all levels.

Oh dear. There was one line that has me more worried than any of them. “No matter what it costs we the federal government will be there for you.” Every time the government prints money and distributes it they decrease the value of our dollar. That’s how inflation works. Government doesn’t have any money. It takes the money from citizens and Re-distributes it. Please don’t help us by increasing government spending.

The Canadian government has the back of Canadians!

American government wants Canada to be their Ukraine

Didn't they vote this Governer out?

Trump is guaranteeing a liberal government in the next Canadian election.??

The orange clown still does not understand how Tariffs work. It is evident he thinks it's a tax and when he sees the numbers in terms of government revenue accredited to tariffs, he ignorantly believes the country is making money. His understanding so simple he thinks he has raised GDP and is making America great again when in fact he is single handedly and in the face of universal opposition destroying the economy and causing grievous hardship to millions of Americans. Apparent friend to our worst enemies and himself the biggest enemy of the people.

Hold on. Will the Canadian government provide assistance to its citizens during the trade disputes? Im sure, President Trump will offer greater benefits to the United States.

All we hear is how our government is saving so much money and now imposing higher tariffs, yet we’ll continue with the same tax deductions while struggling to keep up with the rising cost of everyday expenses. Meanwhile, politicians continue to tell us that this is America’s golden age?

I am truly sorry with all that is happening in America.!!! I love Canada who always stood with the United States and now this is what is happening.!!! I support Canada.!!! Never voted for this government. But now, we are paying the price because of those who put this administration in the White House.!!!???

Are people in both countries unaware that this is simply a tax on them? The government is raping their own people.

I still stand with Trump and Elon and Doge. Canada‘s government has to be crooked too look at what the average Canadian spends on a mortgage . Their citizens not in good shape.

Effffff our government!!!!

He doesn't get that we elected our government and he is therefore directly insulting all US citizens. Not polite.

Canada, I hope Trump reconsiders this tariffs war. I have respected and enjoyed the friendly neighbors we've had in Canada. I am a North Carolinian. I support my great President, Donald Trump and he is doing great things that our nation truly needed. We are cleaning the swamp at Washington our government must stop all the spending and account for every tax dollar they spend. I believe Trump will return and reconsider this tariff put on our closest alia Canada. I pray that he does sooner then later.

If only we could import some of your politeness to instill in our government officials—we would wholeheartedly pay the 25% tariff on it!

Love you Canada ? Looks like you have a functional government… very lucky.

Congratulations to Canada for what the Canadian Government is doing. The problem is that the USA Government is doing very little to prevent the drug-use of American citizens.

This from the same guy who went after his own citizens bank accounts. He has carbon tax the hell out of his own. Typical politician bullshit. Both governments have extorted money from their own citizens to enrich themselves. Blah blah blah you self righteous little troll!

CNN is so full of shit they can’t even talk the facts of Donald Trump getting himself in this shit. Pink suit mama Paula is stuttering all over herself. The first thing she says is how Trudeau spoke of how it’s going to be hard on Canada and then stuttered about it being hard for Americans. But she FAILED to mention that Canada has vowed to be there and make amends for its citizens unlike America whose government has hung its citizens out to dry. CNN also failed to mention ton that Trump signed the current trade agreement when he was president for his first term. Never thought I would see the day CNN would skirt the issue trying their damndest not to use the words the rest of the world is saying and that’s “What the fuck Donald?” Shame on you CNN. You’re the reason the right information isn’t being put out there.

So sad that our government knows how to SCREW UP A FRIENDSHIP. Hear, hear Mr. Trudeau you have my total respect.

Trump must be REMOVED from office. He is a man disguising to be PRO LIFE but not as I have seen him. American people must be VIGILANT on HOW he RUN your government. Is Trump not running your government toward PUTIN's system of government.

Wake up before it's too late Americans! Trump is a puppet of Russia. He's going to bankrupt the country and then when the people take to the streets he's going to impose a National Marshal law and sign an executive emergency order where he takes over the entire US government as a dictator.

Take notice people. Their government is going to help their citizens financially during the trade war. Meanwhile, Our government is giving tax cuts to the rich. It's time we start calling out these billionaires

Come on the rest of the decent world we can make a stand against the USA. Don’t buy Tesla. Don’t buy Ford. Don’t buy Nike. Don’t buy Apple. Buy Samsung, Adidas. French & German cars. Buy beers & wine from many countries & not the USA. Then with finances try to avoid American banks & credit card companies & shares. Even at a basic level we can all make a difference. Our governments all need to make a difference & trade more with each other rather than the USA it will be tough & take a while but we can break away from this hideous nation & need to do so asap.
