Mr trudeau, I believe you are clearly more intelligent than that idiot who runs the country next to you. I think you should annexe the 50 states of the the US. ?

cuz he wants to annex my country F you !!

Trying to weaken our economy does not mean Canada will roll over and be annexed.

Trump is weakening America, he is weakening Canada, he is weakening Mexico, and for what? \n\nMaking it easier for Putin to threaten Canada. Maybe Trump wants to annex Canada to have our minerals, water, oil and our access to the Arctic sea.\n\nEurope, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and many more are fed up with the Musk/Trump combo.

Canada’s economy is already weakened by Treudeau’s and the entire liberal party’s mistakes and now this ? I don’t think we can survive! I think trump is on his way to annex canada through weakening our economy…

This is only the beginning. The pressure for Canada to accept becoming an US state will get to levels you guys don't even imagine now. He will go as far as invading you and take you by force. He wamts your huge territory and resources. Unless the congress impeaches him, you will be taken by force. I know this sounds crazy but, considering everything that's happening in the world, his desire to pull out of Europe etc, I believe he sees Canada as an easy huge territory to annex. And he thinks nothing can stop him.

If there was ever a time to enact the 25th Amendment, this is it! Make no mistake, people. This is a much more serious action than many of us think it is. As crazy as this POS is, I wouldn't put it past him to try and start a war in order to annex Canada, for their minerals, oil and gas. He hasn't the slightest idea of what he's doing! What a NUTJOB!! ..He should be in a straight jacket, not the WH!

americans are like why would you boo a country that wants to annex you? You cant spell america without stupid!

Unfortunately, in this speech, all J. Trudeau has shown is that Canada can be forced to implement irrational and costly programs (fentanyl/border security) while otherwise listing off every reason the United States has for annexing Canada. Canadian vulnerability is on full display and there are going to be plenty of famous ex-pats and wealthy citizens, who are already silent, and will soon be quietly, then vocally, supporting it. The Trump administration doesn't think Canada is a legitimate country and unlike Mexico, they feel it can absorb its demographic easily. This is how Anschluss works.

American products including alcohol coming off of all our shelves. Other products being moved to bottom shelves. People checking out to see where products are made. This is a reaction to tariffs and threats to annex Canada. Trump and his appointments are all gifts to Americas enemies.

I think he wants to annex Canada; it is not a matter of what or how, but when. The clock is ticking. He wants to be Putin so badly.

When will Canada learn that Trump wants to annex Canada by destroying it. Americans asked for this and it is up to them to fix it

Revoke Elon‘s citizenship. He has an incentive to annex Canada to make him a possible next US president, protecting his orange head and war criminal supporter - just like Yeltsin handed the power to Putin. Who has it devised for the orange head??? You‘re guessing correctly.

Hilariously the Canadian economy was already on the brink usa will annex canada in no time

It's time to bring your trade elsewhere and turn off the energy sales. No need to argue with a nut case who wants to annex your country.

Trump is trying to break Canada so he can just do an aggressive takeover and subjugate canada to the us and outright annex the whole country of Canada……just like putin would do

If trump has ambitious it gonna be devastation, im sure trump lately has saw for the first time the global map and realise what can the mighty force annexe, he start already thinking like dictator.

Annex Canada! Welcome to America Canada! You will now be known as the United provinces of America. Also truedoe step down. You have failed your nation for a very long time.

Finaly our prime minister stands for Canada and says straight and clear exactly how it is. This is disgusting, we knew from the start the drugs are just a lie and pretext of the clown to make us join or annex Canada but WE WILL NEVER NEVER GIVE UP !! 1

They haven’t played the part where he said trump wants to weaken our economy so he can annex us. Force us to be a state. Never. We will never capitulate.

This was never about fentanyl. The USA is planning to break Canada to annex us.

Good job Justin. There's nothing else you could have said or done. The problem as I see it, is that responding in kind to Trump like this is possibly to invite an invasion, justified by Trump claiming that Canadian assets are essential to US national security. It's hard to parse the provocation from the US as anything less than a pretext to eventually try and annexe Canada. Maybe Russia will attack the Baltics at the same time. It's becoming increasingly obvious that the US Government is no longer a friend to the free world.

Canada should annex Alaska! \nDrumpf is just a piss poor excuse for a human being.

As a Canadian, I am boycotting all products from the US as much as possible. The US Administration is weak and unrespectful of allies. They want to annex Canada for our natural resources. Anything else is BS. Instead of having an even stronger relationship, they choose a commercial war... And the Americans people will face inflation and see their prices grow. It is a non-sense. Supporting this is just ridiculous.

The tariffs are about Trump annexing us.

Do not share intelligence with the FSB annex.

Trump wants to annex Canada.\n\nNEVER going to happen. You will NEVER have our country. We are DONE.

This American trade war against Canada has NOTHING to do with Fentanyl - That is à puerile pretext. The American motive is far more sinister: crush Canada and once they’re desperate, extract concessions, up to an including annexation. The US is now a 19th century Imperialist Oligarchy , modelled on Putin’s Russia.

If you think America isn’t prepared to use force to annex Canada…think again. Russia is doing it in Ukraine so what’s to stop their ally America from doing the same thing? ??‍♂️\n\n✌️????

I feel sorry for them they will be annexed by this mad king

Canadian here too. Thank most of you americans for this outpouring of support, and seems many from both sides of the aisle. \n\nFor my part? I do believe you have a russian asset as president now. Even the freaking Russians just came out and said US policy is now aligning with Russias own. Hes abandoning an ally in Ukraine unless Ukraine gives an unconditional surrender to a guy who says he is not interested in any deals, and broke his OWN TRADE AGREEMENT stopping just short of actual war with Canada and Mexico. Our own PM as you hear, says Trumps goal is to destroy our economy and annex this country. \n\nYou have a russian asset in the seat folks. \n\nDo something about it.

Please annex New England. Id much rather have this than the bullshit we are attached to.

Can we still visit Canada. I vote Wisconsin to annex to Canada

They cut out the part where Trudeau talked about trump wanting to annex canada ?

The dumest are the 50%+ US voters. Enjoy the 4 years ride living in the new Annexe of the Soviet Union.

Trudeau came right out and said Trump is attempting to bankrupt Canada in order to annex her. Trump certainly is stupid enough for such a plan.

Proud to be Canadian and happy that Trudeau has finally said that this was not about fentanyl and border security. This is about applying economic pressure to annex Canada. Trump needed a reason to declare an emergency so that he could break the USMCA agreement.❤??

Trump is right now making trade arrangements with Belarus and Russia for potash, while 25% tarrifs on Canadian potash that come from within a 100 miles of border. Coded annexation talk will be coming from Trump at that address tonight - threats designed for his base to put Canada in a bad light.

Who thought treating real estate an investment asset wouldn't lead to any problems at all?\nAs an Alberta, canada's economic decline is absolutely disheartening and sad.\nI wish for annexation by the US.\n-Proud Albertan, reluctant canadian.

Annex Canada, they are useless eaters.

Oh yeah, it’s annexing time.

When was the last time an advanced economy actually started to trend backward while everyone else was pulling ahead? Brazil? Venezuela? Performative, shallow, and stunningly unqualified is probably the best way to describe our administration for the last 10 years. Looking forward to a new chapter but with the Damocles' sword of tariffs and annexation hanging over our heads, well, maybe soon we'll be wishing things were only as f**ked as they were in 2024...

CANADA NEEDS TO SMARTIN UP AND GET THEIR BORDER UNDER CONTROL. THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT LOVES THAT THERE IS ZERO BORDER CONTROL. \nOR..\nBE ANNEXED. MOST CANADIANS WOULD LOVE TO BE A US CITIZEN!!

Trump should ANNEX Mexico now send all illegal-Migrants south of border.

FRANKLY, I DO NOT SEE HOW PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ANY CHOICE,..... EXCEPT TO ANNEX AND PROTECT THE USA AS WELL AS CANADA , AND TAKE CONTROL OF CANADA, BY MAKING CANADA OUR BELOVED, 51'ST USA STATE..........................................

Seems like the Canadians want to send invaders our way. Perfect casus belli for annexation of that rich land full of pathetic leaders.

Who is here in 2025 during the Great American War to Annex Canada?

Right like our American ancestors did… wait oops they immigrated and annexed the Natives of america. Hmm.

I have spent quite a bit of time in USA and I always find my experience split. For the most part the people and places are great. As a filmmaker I have shot in NYC, California, Mississippi to name a few. The people were always accommodating and friendly. One time a gentlemen and his wife that allowed us to film in his property would bring us hot chocolate at night, then offered to shoot anyone who got in our way. I was also filming in the desert in 2009 and I almost got shot in the face by a group of police officers that charged in guns out and tempers raging, before realizing that we had film permits and were scheduled to be on site. Only to have the crew say that if I was black they would have shot first and asked questions later. As tensions rise between Canada and USA with Trump's trade war and attempt to ANNEX Canada I think I will do my filming in other parts of the world, if not in Canada. I have plenty of American friends and know a lot of Canadians that live in the US. I just hope things settle between our two nations soon. Where do you live? Interested to see what part of the States you live in.

Annex Canada will be better than partnership just as m&e of corporation as canada is a competitor of usa in oil n gas n some industry.\n\nNot siding trump but speaking from corporation perspective.
