way to go Canada

Hmmmm.... If this isn't going to hurt Canada at all and only hurt the US (ie helping Canada) then why is Trudeau so upset? I think I'm gonna let this one ride out and see how things play out. Trump is a brilliant businessman as is Musk and they understand economics like no other. I am thinking there is more to this than what Trudea is saying.

I'm sorry about this viscous & needless act! I'm an American & I understand completely why Canadian's are upset. I also understand why you're going to retaliate, if you didn't, then I'd question your leadership. Canada has to do what's right for its people and Americans will understand why Canada has to do whatever it has to do for its People and Country. Trump's plan to make Canada the 51st State is by putting economic pressure on Canada until it can't stand anymore. This is his plan and now you can prepare Canadians for the fight ahead. God Bless Canada!!!

All Governor Trudy Mcblackface had to do was control his border like he was asked and to be a good neighbor. Trudy McBlackface also has 200% plus tariffs already on US products. He's going to kill Canada's economy because he's a sh!tbag. Do better Canada.

Canada just be the 51st state cuz you’re going down.

GO TRUDEAU!! GO TRUDEAU!! LOVE YOU CANADA!! (From a pissed off American)

You Go Trudeau! Please let me move to CANADA…\nI don’t want to live in USA any more with these CRAZY people that are running our country for the next four years cry? please help me …….

I love all of the trump supporters or bots telling us to ‘go move to Canada’ or ‘leave, then,’ not realizing that if we did, this country wouldn’t be able to sustain itself, and fall faster than their heads could spin\n\nThat level of foresight and intellect tells us exactly why they thought trump would save the economy, lol\n\nWhy do you think they went after Roe, and keep telling us to breed? They need more people paying taxes so that the rich don’t have to: they want serfs\n\nAre the libs owned yet? Are we owned? lol

??? Go Canada!! stop this Russian lap dog.\n\nWhatever happened to freedom and a pursuit of a free world?..

Go Canada ???? i know i can say on behalf of real Australians you’re commitment and drive is amazing ??????????

How is it a trade war when all countries have the sovereign governments right to tax. Every country will ofcourse look for their own interest first. Looks like Canada is going to have a crash landing economy.

Looks like Trumps goal here is to bring Canada to its knees ( Trump is even trying to get Russian Aluminium to replace Canadian Alumininium) so he can make Canada go broke and beg to become the 51st state of the USA

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?

Ronald McDonald! - Go Canada

Where going to start making it here. We don’t need Canada

There is not much to do. Trump is constantly lying to his people. He said again that American banks cannot go to Canada and that Canadian banks can go to the United States. Which is totally false. There are American banks in Canada. There are not many since they have to follow Canadian rules just like Canadian banks have to follow Canadian rules

As an American US veteran, I love this President. Go Canada. We love you ❤️❤️❤️

It's very simple to understand... no NATO in Ukraine because too close to Moscow. That's all Putin wants. \nAnd Canada doesn't want to understand that... So President \nTrump is going to punish Canada for wanting to continue the war like Biden wanted.

help me understand here whats going on .. hasnt canada had several taxes on american goods for years? vat or whatever

In Canada asked this man to resign? He's the best representative of that country my friends from Canada you should reconsider letting this man go is way more articulate than our moron in Chief our orange headed prize

Canada doesn't seem to understand that we don't need them. We can make everything in america its simple. Thats the route trump is going. Sorry canada but time to take care of yourself. Its sad but canada should be able to take care of it's ppl on its own

Well said, Comrade. Besides, who needs America. Right? They can just go it alone and suffer from having all those resources on which to survive just fine for centuries. Unlike Canada.

USA and Russia are going to invade Canada

I am absolutely go for Canada...\nAmericans must unite to pulldown Trump..hes not a good President for american People..\nSalute and our Full Support to Canada to Prime Minister Trudeau

Can't stand our Prime Minister, he's done too much damage to Canada and I will forever dislike him but BUT how he spoke here he has earned some respect! Wish he was like this from the get go

I buy a lot from Canada. It’s True Trump doesn’t know how a tariff works. I’m already getting the emails that prices are going up from my distributors.

Dude if what Trump is so bad for America and it isn’t going to hurt Canada why do you care. You are the the Dictator you liberal. Good America will just cut all Canadas aide

A dollar for dollar.\nA Trump for trump. ?\nGo Canada ??. Go!\nMark Carney for PM.

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

From USA go Canada! Put it up Trumps butt!

Go Canada!!!

Canada should look at the Top 10 Shareholders for every publicly listed Canadian corporation... Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, Citi Group and JPM. What do you think is going to happen?\nThe board of directors will now vote to move manufacturing to the USA under the pretext of avoiding Tariffs and protect shareholder value. This will be supported by those shareholders.

He is really going out with a bang. As a Canadian I couldn’t be more proud of this speech than I am. There is anger and disappointment in Canada. It is not anti American. It is anti insanity.

Canada + Europe = true ❤ Let's get the trade agreements going and leave the nutcase Trump in the dust!

All Trump has been asking for all along is for Canada & Mexico to DO THEIR PART in stemming the illegal immigration and Fentanyl from crossing into the United States. Nearly 100,000 Americans die each year from Fentanyl overdoses. The raw ingredients come from China and into their respective nations, where they are processed and made into Fentanyl, then brought into the U.S. Neither nation has taken Trump seriously and Biden didn't give a crap and actually assisted with bringing in more of everything. Now both nations get to deal with the results of their inactions. Remember, these are reciprocatory tariffs to simply equal what American goods are charged by Canada & Mexico already. NOW everyone is on an equal playing field. If these nations want lower tariffs, they can go first and then the U.S. will match it to theirs... It's that simple.

Go Canada, well done. Time to get rid of Trump the Muppet and all he stands for.

Let's be perfectly clear, here: The United States, leaving her markets WIDE OPEN -- as if a woman flinging her legs open and apologizing if she can't 'service' everyone in the crowd -- for EIGHTY YEARS and our workers, engineers, factory builders, etc., etc., all just watching our jobs float off to other shores...is OVER.\n> As is to be expected, Trudeau is keeping up appearances. \n> About THREE-FOURTHS of Canada's exports are converted to CASH inside the United States. \n> That means JOBS for Canadians, paychecks for Christmas time and tax revenues for Ottawa.\n> Yes, the US really does need Canada. We need Mexico. (We don't need Communists like China.)\n> But we have SACRIFICED our most vital naturally-occurring need: our personal and industrial productivity and creativity. \n> The United States, thanks to Her ideas on governance and empowerment of the People, invented and created the modern world that, now, almost 8 billion people expect (maybe closer to 6 billion of the 8+). \n> We have suffered unspeakably for the past -- at least -- 50 years as more and more of our ingenuity and creativity that once fueled our production has disappeared in the name of keeping the world free.\n> Enough. \n> The world WILL change. We can either accept China's version of Soviet Communism, relinquishing all global empowerment for whatever the CCP feels like, today.\n> Or we can bite the bullet and allow the People of the United States to restore what we sacrificed for the stability of a free world, starting about 80 years ago.\n> Either way, Canada will not go back to the way things were.\n> They can be better. But not like before. Period.

Go Hard Canada!!

Oh Canada!!\n Thanks CNN!!\nNext up!!\n Failing of USA , real-time prime time!\n At the hands of Donald..\nI am happy to see how American is going hurt it’s what you voted for, Donald.\n\nDonald is your scourge!

Get that convicted felon out of the office! The American people are in trouble. Yes, Canada will hurt. Big difference is, their leaders are going to support them. WHY did people do this to our country. Racism and Sexism is costly

Im from Texas. I have never agreed with the policies of Trump. I'll gladly be on the front lines with Canada.\n\nOur country has not only failed us, but the American people that call themselves American. We have turned into a bigger facist nation than Russia. At least some of them go missing for trying to whistle blow on an international level. Meanwhile, we cry to each other internally as if anyone has the balls to stand up

Ukrainian woman, whose heart is broken by fear for our Army and the people going to die without the US military support on the coming weeks and months, I stand with Canada. America, what have you let done to yourself?

As an American tariff china absolutely tariff Mexico sure but tariff Canada I’m not so sure about that. Canada is a critical trading partner. Trump is obsessed with trade deficits. Canada is a country rich in resources with the population of California. They have a lot to offer but a small buying power there’s obviously going to be a trade deficit. Idk I hope this all works out

Our left and right leaning politicians in both sides of parliament in Australia are currently trying to stay out of this situation thinking that the mango Mussolini will respect us. But our population knows Donald is a putin arse licker and as soon as he turns his attention to Australia and treats us like Canadian brothers you'll find the USA lose allies tenfold.....as even countries like us trying to find middle ground will finally realise that therr is no middle ground... you're an enemy period ....go Canada ????

Let’s go CANADA !!!!!!!!??

UK here … go Canada full support . All decent Americans now need to gather and get this disturbed dumb Donald OUT once and for all.

Go Canada go!??

Truduea is a lier and the United States has protected Canada and kept them going for years. Tariffs is what they need to straighten them out .

Well said, Mr. Prime Minister. Go Canada--hopefully see you on the other side of this, when we get rid of this clown show. Pardon our dust...some of our slower citizens have to learn things the hard way.

Go Canada!
