Trudeau should offer to make Michigan a province and Michiganders will show our gratitude by changing the name of Lake Michigan to Lake Canada and raise the Maple Leaf Flag to the top of the Mackinaw Bridge.

Am embarrassed as an American , Sorry Canada I never Voted for that Orange fool. Americans are so divided at these times due to a dictator president which should be illegal

This Guy from Canada call him self the PM, should go back to School of Economics. He is wasting his time to FIGHT WITH AMERICA. U, pls go on with ur PM ship of Canada. ???

I'm sorry our Canadian's fellows, this is not personal, it's just business. All this year the USA economy has been decreased because we buy (importing) more goods than selling (exporting). We are no in good shape economically to support other countries' economies. We need companies to come back to produce in the USA and those extra charges are an incentive to start producing again in the USA. After our economy is better, we can make new deals. \nAbout Fentanyl, it is funny that he said that it was all good and after that, saying just in the last months implemented all kinds of security measures. LOL \nHe speaks nice, but he is not a smart guy. Putting tariffs back to the USA makes it worse with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a businessman, he can keep increasing the taxes and in the end, Canada will be hurt more than the USA. I suggest to peacefully open a negotiation with Trump, not to fight back at the same level... don't take it personally, it is just business.

New world order? This is crazy. We love Canada. ❤

Nobody in the US needs Canada for anything, period. Bye bye

CANADA WILL BE WELCOMED IN THE EU : we ALL love the Canucks! \nZelenskiy is a man without a suit\nDonald is a suit without a man\nJustin is a man with a suit.

I never voted for this idiot, I stand with you Canada! Love from Pennsylvania ❤

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

Canada is a joke ?

As an American, I agree with what Canada is going to have to do. I didn't vote for this Dictator. I voted for a strong woman who would have been a better president then Dump. I will never be on his side!

Why is he so concerned about Americans? Isn't Canada getting the 25% tariffs also?

Standing with Canada from Australia. The only way to treat a bully is strength. Chapeau Prime Minister Trudeau

Trudeau literally resigned in an overwhelming unpopular vote…. But sure we’ll listen to you! Im not saying what we’re doing is right. But you sir have done a lot of damage to Canada.

Trump don't care He don't care about that. That's just the Trojan-horse. So you don't pay attention of what he's doing. He's just hurting, he's gonna hurt. The Americans first and definitely never going to get Canada. Because if we gotta do World War 3. Come on, we'll play the game. We'll put our cards on the table. Trump

Why don't people know that Canada already has tariffs placed on our goods long before Trump....look it up... their tariffs are and were much higher....to the point were they benefited much more than the US did

CANADA CHARGES THE US 10-300% TARIFFS. WAKE UP PEOPLE

Respect to Canada ? stand up to Donald. PM Trudeau that is a 5☆ speech and resolution. Barbados ?? salutes you ♧

Oh well, I guess maple syrup will be more expensive now until Canada becomes the 51st state.

Putin despises Canada. Canada has the largest Ukrainian diaspora in the world. Canada supports Ukraine. Trump works for Putin. Buckle up USA! You were warned.

Our president speaks in behalf of Americans! Good bye Canada & good bye Mexico adiós ?

Cancelling my trip to San Francisco to support Canada! We will survive as Canadians and wither the storm!

From Canada, and reading the comments is truly heartfelt. Trudeau gets a pretty polarizing reputation in our country, but to know the world sees him as more reputable and more of a leader makes me proud to be Canadian and to stay positive in these chaotic times. Thank you

CANADA FIRST! The world will support your country... ??

In Canada, everyone except for Torontonians think he is a virtue signalling idiot

Canada and Canadians you're the luckiest bunch on the face of this earth. If trump didn't mess things up this early you might have elected maple maga and bonjour disaster. This trump blunder was a blessing in disguise. Never ever play with your cherished liberties and democracy by giving control of it to fascist leaning political party. Go Canada❤

Way to go Canada. ?

I would like for trump to impose tariffs on everyone else in the world except for The US Canada and Mexico

USA!!! Buy American. Canada has been taking advantage of the US. We need to make America better!!! Having a better economy means we buy American and stop supporting foreign nations.

Stay strong Canada. Australia overwhelmingly supports you, Europe and Ukraine against the madness coming from the white house

Bravo for Canada and best wishes! Give Trump and his surrogates hell to save our international economic security and friendship!

If canada thinks they can keep up on technology without america, have at it.

Trump wont back down, canada has been screwing us for awhile, its our turn. However i do feel for the canadian people.

Says the guy that destroyed Canada

I made it a point to buy Canadian Whiskey today in support of Canada and will continue to do so.

As an American I am appalled by the actions of my government. I stand with you Canada, our great friend and ally. I did not vote for and do not stan with the fascist authoritarian clown running our country into the ground.

I have an idea-instead of Canada becoming the 51st state ( which is such a repulsive idea) Can the US become a province instead? \nWe need a leader like Justin Trudeau! ??

50% of the United States population thinks these tariffs are paid by Canada. WRONG! The American population pays this. Fact.

All those asked to be Americans and supporting Ukraine in endless war, why don't you all move to Canada or go fight for Ukraine. If you're not ready, just shut up with your bs, because all you do is talk and take no action.

FUCK YOU… pay the tariff… I like how they call tariffs a TRADE WAR… we don’t need Canada California has more ppl than Canada!

Canada has been taking advantage of our hospitality for a long time Elon musk saved us more in the last month then we will lose from them good riddance Trudeau

Autarky and Autocracy, Dicktatoes and Dickhead Economics, hand in hand.\nI urge Canada to seek maximum assistance from all those who LOVE Canada, Canadians, Canadian Products that have so benefitted this world of ours.\nAutarky never works - IT CANNOT STAND FOR LONG.\n\n1. North Korea (Juche Policy)\nNorth Korea's commitment to Juche (self-reliance) has led to severe economic stagnation and recurring famines, most notably in the 1990s, when an estimated 600,000–3 million people died due to food shortages.\nThe lack of trade and foreign investment has stifled technological progress and industrial growth.\nNorth Korea is now heavily dependent on China for food, fuel, and economic support despite its official autarkic stance.\n2. Albania under Enver Hoxha (1944–1992)\nHoxha's regime pursued extreme isolationism, severing ties with both the Soviet Union and China.\nThe economy collapsed due to lack of trade, modern technology, and external investment.\nBy the late 1980s, Albania was one of the poorest and most backward countries in Europe, with widespread shortages of food, medicine, and basic goods.\n3. Spain under Franco (1940s–1950s)\nFrancisco Franco initially pursued autarquía after the Spanish Civil War, aiming to make Spain self-sufficient.\nThe policy resulted in economic stagnation, black markets, food shortages, and a declining standard of living.\nBy the 1950s, Franco was forced to abandon autarky in favor of liberalization and foreign investment, which led to the later Spanish Miracle of rapid economic growth.\n4. Argentina under Juan Perón (1946–1955)\nPerón aimed for economic independence through import substitution and state control of industries.\nInitially, Argentina benefited from post-war trade surpluses, but as reserves dwindled and industry struggled without external competition, inflation and inefficiencies mounted.\nThe economy ultimately deteriorated, forcing a shift back to trade and foreign investment.\n5. Maoist China (1950s–1970s)\nMao Zedong’s push for self-sufficiency, particularly during the Great Leap Forward, led to disastrous economic consequences.\nAgricultural mismanagement and isolationist policies contributed to the Great Chinese Famine (1959–1961), causing an estimated 15–45 million deaths.\nChina only saw major economic improvement after opening up to global trade under Deng Xiaoping’s reforms in the late 1970s.

Canada england should go to europe union

I wish I lived in Canada. Thank God you have a strong leader.

First economic war then a military invasion. I believe the Americans are setting the stag for a ground invasion of Canada using the escalating trade war as a pretext for a real war. I think everyone needs to consider the possibility that Trump may in fact be an agent of Russia with a single mission to bring down the USA and her allies.

Well said. I support Canada and I will join Canada...

100% with Canada ??, from Poland ??, EU ??.

Europe stands with Canada against the US and Russia!!!

I can't bealive how dumb US liberals are, US literally has one of the highest reserve of oil and natural gas, US used to sell oil to Japan, India and many other countries when trump was last time in office but Biden distroyed that by banning the drill. 70% of import from canda to US is oil and natural gas which they don't need they just have to switch on those machines again which they already did and in few weeks they will not just ful fill their own need bul aslo start selling gas to Japan and India as trump promised in last meeting with them, and rest 20% import from Canda is electricity, they used to busy that electricity just to bypass the Paris climate aggrement of having green electricity, biden insted of building green electricity industry he choosed to buy those from Canada and last rest 10% left which is $15billion for economy like US this much money is peanuts and 30% tarrife on that will have nearly no impact.

Canada u have an actual leader (envious US citizen)
