Great speech! But I think the Canadians are overreacting a bit. Reciprocate the tariffs and go on with your lives. As for Trump’s reason why, it will probably be obvious when the new tax dollars begin overflowing your accounts.

The trade war is just the begining. Trump will use the fentanyl crisis and lie to people that Canada does nothing to prevent trafficking this drug. And how Trumpo will want to protect his beloved country? By sending army to the border with Canada. And then? Well maby an intervention on Canadas land? Trump loves Putin, Hitler. And they did the same as decribed above. By the end of 2025 we will have a 3rd world war.

To clarify US credibility with Allies is Not on the Line.\nThere hasnt been any credibility to begin with. Anyone who makes Deals with Trump only half expects him to keep them and everyone knows him as utterly unpredictable.\n\nI dont know what credibility they are taking about.

......and so it begins........

Go Canada ?? GO\n\nCan’t wait to see all those MAGA tears ? \n\nThis is what stupid, racist, misogynistic, ignorant Amerikkkkans voted for\n\nLet the games begin ?

Governor Trudeau and the state of Canada will never learn We Are Not The Same two different economies let the games begin an see who still standing???

Maybe this is the begining of US to collaps think USA

Trudeau stepped up his game. Love this speech. As a Canadian, I am more than willing to go through pain to maintain our sovereignty and nationality. This is the beginning of the end of Americas' dominance. With the isolationism the White House is mandating, this will be the beginning of its downfall.

Isnt the US in Nato? And Canada is beginning attacked means they have to step up and help them ? what a mess. EU continues are doing it but not the US. Worst partner ever

It's funny, the season just after Trudeau resigned, is when he finally begins to fill his boots as Canadian PM. I've never seen him so bold and assertive. It's fucking hot.

Like what does Donald have to do to have him removed from power. He has single handedly killed the USD is starting inflation and driving away allies and befriending Putin. That's not even all of beginning in a matter of 6 weeks.

LMAO, the way he changed his style of speaking and even vocabulary when beginning to adress Trump ?

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.

So, suddenly Canada is suddenly now arresting these fentanyl gangs in large numbers, spending money on defense and patrolling the borders for illegal immigrants with helicopters and ground troops. Why now ? Because Captain Schmuck here had his sorry arse kicked by President Trump. Canada is effectively bankrupt and have been kept alive by the U.S. umbilical cord, and Trump knows that it has to stop as it is simply pouring good money after bad. Our government knew about these tariffs since the beginning after Trump’s election, and what have they done? Zip, zero, nada because they simply have no clue how to deal with it, but to throw the toys out of the cot. That is hopefully set to change soon and, with a proper government in place, then we can start real negotiations.

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 is in it for destruction, the more complete the destruction the better. USAID destruction is only an example. Trump will continue to destroy and destroy because his whole agenda from the very beginning is to destroy rather than to build, that’s his design his way to get the most attention, building and constructing is tedious and long term and requires sacrifices, and does not garner him the blasting short term attention he needs, he will never build. He will destroy everything until he dies and his end goal is to go out with a Bang destroying the entire US of A and killing everyone with him. That’s what Hitler did to German just before he died. That is Trump. Trump is America and America has always been Trump?

All of us who are sane Americans are absolutely sickened by the way FOTUS (F for FELON) is treating our allies. I am pissed off and I’m embarrassed that he was voted in. I am proud to say I have NEVER supported or voted for that ignorant fool! Hopefully, we can get rid of him soon and begin to repair our relationships with our allies and begin to rebuild our reputation in the world.

..that egomaniac pig barely got in and imediately do this to its closest partner...is it really necessary?\nif he does it in the beginning..\nthats the kind of character who partner with another dictator...and he will do it to the whole world..each country...along that he's deporting millions of people...\nthats what the public..humanity didnt want to see...what kind of deity protects billionaires and handsome people...to later destroy the rest of the planet?

I stand with President Trump, promises made, promises kept. It’s hard to make change in the beginning, but this is the face of change!

In history till now… White House are hanky panky, cocky and bastard. Puppet Prime! \nThey do keep their word in beginning but somehow there will bastard you in the end.

Historically, tariffs have been imposed to support production of American goods. Think cotton, steel, other raw materials the U.S. used to produce in past centuries. For the past several decades, America has not produced many raw materials because it's cheaper to buy them from countries who can pay their workers less to keep the cost of production low. It's impossible to quickly begin producing these things here, so Trumplethinskin's tariffs will do nothing but piss off our trading partners and dramatically increase the prices Americans pay for a long list of essential goods. I see a major recession coming soon. If your goal was to close American car plants because the parts are too expensive and make it impossible for U.S. citizens to afford to feed their families, you've achieved it, King Donald ?

These Trump tariffs are STUPID! YEAH LETS GIVE MEXICO N CANADA OUR FRIENDS 25% BUT ONLY CHARGE CHINA 10% PATHETIC! REVERSE THE TARIFFS NOW! AND HELP UKRAINE FINISH THIS WAR THE TIME TO STOP ARMING THEM WAS THE BEGINNING NOT NOW WE WILL PAY DEARLY FOR NOT SAVING UKRAINE IT WILL COST US 200 X TIMES MORE IN THE LONG RUN ! MARK MY WORDS

VERY WELL SAID SIR, APPRECIATE YOUR CLEAR PLAN AND THE RATIONAL- IT IS SO SAD THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO EEMS TO BE A JOKE- CLEARLY NO JUSTIFICATIO N IT WAS CLEAR FROM BEGINING IT IS APERSONAL GAIN NOT COUNTRY- NO FENTANOL- IT IS A JOKE THAT WE CANT EVE THINK A LEADER WILL USE AS EXCUSE

Absolutely disgusting. How as Americans do we begin to apologize for this? I'm so sorry to our allies. I'm so enraged that I'm crying. Canada is our friend and this scumbag and his sycophants have destroyed that friendship. I'm so sorry everyone. This is devastating ?

Trump was right for starting the tariffs. Canada did not play fair to begin with.

Govenor trudeau this sounds like a threat. WW3 begins ?

Well I know I wanted some of my friends to hear the beginning of this I'm not sure about the last 2/3 cuz I give up

Jealous American here. Tens of millions of Americans have been so threatened by estrogen melanin intelligence and strength going all the way back to the beginning of Obama's first term that now we have the polar opposite. We have a Putin Kim jong-un wannabe.

Canada will feel it much more than america, let the trade war begin!

Trump says he needs nothing Canada to offer…..yet oil and gas tariffs are only 10%.\nHmmm….\nI say shut off the taps to America, flip off the switch for electricity and make him come crawling back. Because that’s the only way American voters will understand what he is doing. America needs to revolt and end his reign of stupidity, because this is just the beginning of his\ntyrannical dictatorship.

This is the way you handle a Bully; don't play the Bully's game. Our corrupt government has been corrupt since the beginning of our country and has had our Troops in 22 wars and our Troops are living with half their bodies, missing limbs and other disabilities our corrupt government has betrayed them and has sat on the sidelines watching the Gangsterville Enterprise aka White House say how they want to take their benefits. I care for my bedridden brother and have been caring for him for 5 years and I have never asked our corrupt government for compensation for caring for my brother. The corrupt government has kissed the ring and has lost their testicles with those damn black dresses. It's time take them for and do their jobs. We have a Consultation that was written decades ago to save us from this government corruption, it's time to stop the Shit Show and get our country back; we will be destroyed because Evil, Greed and Revenge never wins. United we stand and in God we trust amen ❤??

I agree with this, but… Is it just me or did he sound a little bit like Dr Seuss at the beginning there.

This is so stupid. Trump is selling us (America) out to China, Russia and the other BRICs countries. Why else would Trump destroy relationships with our allies? Why else would he kill USAID? China gets to swoop in and be the hero now. I hear Trump is even killing the CHIPS act! Why!!? He's snuggling up to Putin and acting as if Ukraine was the aggressor in that war. Something incredibly fucked up is happening and this is only the beginning.

This child molester is garbage, let the trade wars begin.

Trump is a Russian asset. The moment that is understood, all of Trump's past actions make perfect sense - since the beginning.

This is how economic annexation begins

Evil, Greed and Revenge lose from the very beginning. Our corrupt government is sitting on the sidelines watching the concept of their plan is exploding in their face.

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.

I've said it from the beginning. This admin is purposely trying to destabilize our country at the will of Putin. Russia said they would destroy us from the inside. Well here we go.

It has never been about fentanyl from the beginning... I think most Americans know that. Some Americans are susceptible to cult leaders, and you have a good one. In office

This is the beginning of the world standing up to Trump!

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S.

Chrism Oil and the Fertile Field Hypothesis: Rediscovering an Ancient Healing Science\n\nFor millennia, healers have understood what modern medicine is only beginning to fully acknowledge—disease does not strike at random. It takes root in a body primed for illness, an environment where chronic inflammation, toxic burden, and metabolic dysfunction create fertile ground for pathogens and cellular abnormalities to thrive. This is the essence of the Fertile Field Hypothesis: illness does not simply attack; it finds conditions favorable for growth.\n\nIf disease thrives in a compromised system, then true healing must begin not just by eliminating symptoms, but by restoring the terrain—reducing inflammation, clearing toxins, and rebalancing physiological function. Ancient medicine sought to do precisely this, often through herbal formulations, fasting, and counterirritants designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms.\n\nOne of the most remarkable historical formulations that aligns with this concept is Chrism oil, a sacred anointing oil described in Exodus 30:22-33. Though typically viewed through a religious lens, its composition suggests a powerful counterirritant, capable of inducing localized inflammation to trigger systemic healing responses. Modern research into counterirritants, phytochemicals, and immune modulation suggests that this ancient remedy may have functioned as a sophisticated bioactive therapy.\n\nCounterirritants: The Forgotten Science of Healing Through Irritation\n\nCounterirritants do not work by numbing pain or merely masking symptoms. Instead, they induce a controlled inflammatory response, redirecting the body’s focus to healing. This mechanism is seen in modern compounds like menthol, capsaicin, and camphor, which activate transient receptor potential (TRP) channels to modulate pain, inflammation, and circulation.\n\nExodus 30:22-33 – Recipe for Chrism Oil\n\n\t•\tOlive oil: 4 ml\n\t•\tCannabis sativa extract: 4 g\nEssential Oils:\n\t•\tCassia: 8 g\n\t•\tMyrrh: 8 g\n\t•\tCinnamon: 4 g\n\n\nChrism oil’s ingredients strongly suggest it functioned similarly:\n\t•\tOlive oil – A carrier oil rich in anti-inflammatory polyphenols, promoting skin absorption and immune regulation.\n\t•\tCannabis sativa extract – Contains cannabinoids (CBD, THC), which modulate nociception, inflammation, and immune homeostasis through the endocannabinoid system (ECS).\n\t•\tMyrrh – A powerful antimicrobial and wound-healing resin, known for its ability to stimulate immune function.\n\t•\tCinnamon and Cassia – Rich in cinnamaldehyde, a circulatory stimulant that enhances metabolic function and detoxification.\n\nBy applying Chrism oil to the skin, ancient healers may have been leveraging counterirritation to stimulate deeper healing processes, much like modern medical applications of capsaicin for neuropathic pain or mustard plasters for respiratory conditions.\n\n\nThe Fertile Field Hypothesis and Restoring Biological Balance\n\nIf chronic disease arises from an imbalanced internal environment, then reversing illness requires correcting that imbalance. Integrative medicine increasingly recognizes the need to:\n\t•\tReduce systemic inflammation – Through dietary polyphenols, fasting, and targeted herbal interventions.\n\t•\tEnhance detoxification – Supporting liver function, lymphatic drainage, and mitochondrial health.\n\t•\tModulate stress responses – Using mind-body therapies to lower cortisol, which is directly linked to immune suppression and chronic inflammation.\n\nChrism oil, when viewed as more than just a religious anointing oil, represents an ancient approach that aligns with modern scientific insights into counterirritants, phytotherapy, and immune modulation. This calls for renewed exploration of topical bioactive therapies, particularly those that stimulate controlled inflammatory responses to induce systemic healing.\n\nFar from being a relic of the past, the science behind Chrism oil may provide a foundation for innovative treatments in chronic pain management, immune regulation, and regenerative medicine. The ancients understood what we are rediscovering today: true healing does not just eliminate disease—it restores the soil so that health can flourish once more.\n\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Complementary-Cancer-Therapy-Slawek-Wojtowicz/dp/B0CR8Q2DBM/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=BnLvn&pd_rd_wg=hjUla&pd_rd_r=a698f3f1-9951-4a4c-8a52-3cdd2a3c8a72&content-id=amzn1.sym.ec5b70ad-0c46-403c-8d38-3db6570c8b46&ref_=aufs_ap_sc_mbl

Trump, Musk and Putin terrorist attacks are destroying America from within. This is only the beginning.

Something tells me this will be the beginning of World War 3!

If this guy is that smart why US had to pinch his nose to do all this? Wasn't it his job to begin with?

Some one tell me please, and i understand what tariffs mean, but who does it benefit? Honestly? Would it bring in more money to a country who imposes these tariffs? Ultimately, the comsumer is the one who bares the economic burden with higher prices than why is our idiot President Trump imposing these tariffs to begin with?? Can he profit from any of these tariffs?

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Trump has been jealous of Trudeau from the beginning. Especially when he saw how Melania looked at him. And because Canada is his Ukraine.

Great depression 2.0 begins

Goodbye america - the beginning of the end.
