“US credibility with allies on the line” …\nYou have no credibility at all. You are a toddler playing with an AK 47

The USA overheads we have right now are not educated enough to understand the line of crisis, nor how to be a stronghold leaders to save the USA from shame or impacts.

Trudeau has his balls crossed he doesn't have the population like the United States has not to mention money population not to mention we been a country longer than Canada been a country I always considered Canada as a great country though they have issues too like any other countries have look at British Columbia and there drug crisis and Toronto where ever there's more people there's more problems that's The bottom line!

Hi from Canada... When you look at a long line of MAGA't Zombie voters and you see them all smiling and collectively they make one complete set of teeth and then you allow them to vote in their golden pig and make him president, this is what you get! I realise that everyone that is good and decent in the USA bent over backwards not to look down or insult MAGA't types for fear of further alienating them, all it has done is backfired both upon good and decent Americans but upon the cult of Orange Jesus as well. So now we're left with this dystopian mess. Long past time to take the gloves off and get into the fight. Pretend you're all hockey players playing the Russians... leave it ALL on the ice!!!

Canada and Mexico have always been family, as well as UK and Europe close friends and allies. Trump is by far the daftest president in the history of our nation, he’s destroying our economy and the well-being of the American people. All he’s doing is making the rich richer and getting rid of the middle class making families struggle. \n\nSo much for the equality and prosperity of our country. \n\nI really wish President Zelenskyy would not sign over any mineral l rights to the Ukraine. I felt embarrassed and completely appalled as an American for the treatment that he received. \n\nThe duped people who voted for Trump are now getting what they deserve. This presidency is not America first. \nThis presidency is about Trump and his friends changing all the laws for their own benefit lining their pockets.

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.

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

He’s so out of line, he’s only going to embarrassed himself…. Most of his speech made no sense….

You people in the comments are so weak.\nImagine being on the same side about to get in a fight or war you idiots would run so fast have no strength.\nCan't hold thr line and stand fast. \nBunch of purple hair liberal lunatics. \n\nCowards. \n\nBunch of cutters ????

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.

Canada, how can you treat you best allie, best of friends best trading partner. how dare you treat the country that saved you from the Nazis from the Moslems from Russians and Mexicans from the Europeans. trump is going to destroy you and then make Canada a state. you can not be the 51st state because Israel is the 51st state. so get in line.

Canada and other countries in the West will co-operate with Europe and will create their own import-export line. This is not good for U.S.

Will Trudeau successor follow the same line of trade war?

Yet Canada hates him right now, Just as much as all of you hate Trump. Trump never said he sided with Russia and I really wish all of you dimwits would donate your personal money, or personally volunteer to step on the front lines. They have no manpower and y'all are idiots to think that it makes sense to give a country backing after they're the ones who threaten to join NATO and clearly most of y'all don't even know that NATO started this bullshit by going against their promises to Russia and they have added eight former Soviet countries to their union. At this point I'm okay with giving half of the US to the libtards So you guys can pay taxes to fund every other country but your own. Yuck.

HOLD THE LINE! ?? ? ✌️

Stop funding Ukraine when there’s a cease fire on the line. You spent way more on Ukraine than our very own boarder! Make THAT make sense

Australian living in New Zealand here and i support you 100% Canada. Trumps is a Russian asset now and nobody should trust the US goverment. When their economy collapses they will only have themselves to blame for voting in a con artist and criminal that is totally unqualified to be leading anything bar a meal line in a public jail.

understands the reason Trump's doing it.. he's is appeasing, staying in line with Uncle Putin, it's all about making him happy

This doesnt bother me. Im pretty sure Canada already Tarrifs US products. And Mr. Trudeau has some incorrect information on the illegal percentages along with fentyal statistics. something along the lines of 30% comes across from the Canadian border.

We've tried for decades and every country bleeds us, we aint taking no more cuts, half the world will collapse and the other half WILL fall in line, watch. Why you think their having a fit. They could just say ok, but they KNOW!!

Putin is is pulling all the right levers saying all the right lines all while Donald dufus trump looking into his eye and reading lips falling for shit like a school kid trying to get a date

Trump is good a being president in many ways because he is a business man, not a politician, but in business it's about dominating the market place and your competition, bending them to your will if you can, but when you are president, you need to keep alliances with other countries, not dominate over them, otherwise you weaken your position on the world stage. When you are at the top with the biggest economy, army, you don't need to beat down those with less, you need to keep them on your side so their strength adds to your own, which is why you are at the top. Even a mafia boss won't beat down those under him, unless he wants war, and lose his position as others form alliances to take over top position as no powerful person, president, country wants to be beaten down into submission by anyone, so they create other alliances to match or overtake those at the top. In this case, Trump needs to play the politician or weaken his position, and China will be loving this as they are next in line.

hey buddy you want us to march over that invisible line with guns we’re taking everything

hey buddy you want us to march over that invisible line with guns we’re taking everything

stand your line! that was so good coming from him

Next Putin uncle’s will line next door to me after trump give em the country

Surprising how despite me voting for him the first time, I wasn't proud of his stance u til after he announced his retirement. But when it comes to protecting our country, party lines dissolve. We all have the same sense of pride and the same education as to what that means.

Macron, you gonna be swapping husbands with Obama? You first Macron to the front lines in Ukraine. No more US in NATO. Withdraw all systems and troops to the US.

This loser can't even run his own country, that's why he's stepping down. His people will be standing in soup lines because of him.

I can't wait to see all these proud americans standing with ukraine to go stand on the front line with them! ?

Trudeau..pay your share. You step up to the line.. Your broke

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Definitely an articulate speaker- unlike Trump’s vocabulary of a 4th grader. \n\nWill Trudeau’s speech be broadcast on Fox News? The MAGA viewers need to watch this.\n\nSpoiler alert: All the Republican Congressmen puppets will line up and condemn Canada.

Decades of zombie programming from Fox hypnotized our worse half to believe black is white and down is up. They now somehow believe obviously damaging actions from their low-tone, smooth-brained, moronic orange god are good. We're obviously lining up to Russian wants and not our people. It's wild how dumb many of our people are. Those of us that are sane hear you, Justin. Maybe we'll see the US come to it's senses, but for now, by all means, do what you need to do.

CNN, why are you not calling out Trump's lies? In 2024, less than two tenths of one percent of fentanyl entering the US in 2024 crossed the US-Canadian border. This was NEVER about fentanyl. This is about Trump financing his billionaire tax cuts buy imposing huge sales taxes on American consumers. It's a stealth tax increase tha.t is targeted at low and middle income Americans. Trump is a liar, a crook, and a moron, a rapist, and a traitor. Every line you guys utter should underscore those facts. If you can't do your job, then STFU and shutter your offices. You are of no value to anyone but the criminals in the White House.

Canada,s arrogance towards USA needs to be seriously dealt with?? they crossed every line

The whole world watched live, when Trump lost his shit with President Zelensky the moment when VP VANCE started his attack on Zelensky by saying he hasn't said thankyou to America ,which is an absolute lie.\nAmericans are asking if President Trump is a Russian asset.\nTrump is 100 % a RUSSIAN ASSET . TRUMP WON HIS SECOND TERM BECAUSE ELON MUSK BOUGHT AND PAID FOR IT.\nBOTTOM LINE TRUMP IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY MUSK AND OWNED BY RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN.\nTRUMP IS A TRAITOR AND DESERVES A TRAITORS SENTENCE.\nTrump is the ENEMY FROM WITHIN.

DO NOT GET RID OF MY INTERNET ( starlink )!!! not unless you have a better alternative for me to have high-speed Internet. \nTrump is trying to set himself up and America so that they are truly the only superpower of the world that needs nobody and no connection to any other country and they dictate everything across the globe. \nThat I suppose is one way of trying to do things, but it’s going to alienate the United States from the majority of the world, and will bring China closer to everyone else. And most obvious is these lining everything up for a civil war

These comments are disappointing. All these Americans standing with other countries smh. Go live there! Nobody is forcing you to stay in America. Why don’t you actually start trying to help OUR country be better INSTEAD OF COUNTRIES!!! How can so many people LOVE that OUR taxes go to non Americans?. Or lining the pockets of the very politicians you all are listening to? Make it make sense. Oh wait, it all makes sense when you all have TDS. The elections are OVERRRRR, how are democrats going to survive the next 4 years? This is just getting started & as you can see, Trump always gets what he wants. No more sleepy joe & kackling kamala. Soon enough NO MO Trudeau!

Trudeau is just hurting his own people, but I guess thats nothing new at this point. Candadian inflation will go up and America will not be greatly effected. If anything we can just import those same goods from somewhere else at a better price. Countries around the world are lining up to take these contracts as we speak.

Tbh this guy seems just like he's angry that his gravy train just been cut off and been told to get in line.

Turn off the lights in America! It can be done….Canada provides electricity to most of northern America. Every crisis in America has been helped by Canadians. Canada sends linesmen down to help repair power lines after storms. Canada will always help us, don’t doubt it. Trump and Vance r complete idiots. If Trump and Vance are in power for much longer, I can see the devil rising because Trump and Vance are Demons. I’m a 60 year-old disabled woman and if I could I would fly to the Ukraine and help them because my country is doing nothing only upholding Putin!

Everybody get your passports and paperwork in line. You never know if you will find yourself having to move

People need to understand that the damage and fallout that will certainly come from all of the things that Donald Trump is doing is intentional. \nTrump's efforts to weaken NATO, destroying our relationships with our long-standing Western European allies, creating friction and distrust with our border countries of Canada and Mexico, taking a wrecking ball to all of our governmental institutions that hold this country together, sowing a lot of hatred and distrust among American citizens along racial and ethnic lines, using tariffs to destroy the American economy, efforts to cause Americans to lose trust in our courts, justice and Healthcare systems, trying to Villianize Zelensky of Ukraine while praising the dictator from Russia, is all part of a plan to weaken or maybe even destroy our country and to allow Russia to rise.\nIt is painfully obvious that Donald Trump is an agent for Vladimir Putin and Russia against the United States, Ukraine and the democracies of Europe. \nDonald Trump is a traitor! The Republicans in Congress need to do their jobs and remove him from office ASAP!

Bottom line is...we are all screwed ? ??❤??

Counter tariffs aren't enough. Total embargo on all resource exports. They only have enough reserves to last a few months without massive shortages and price hikes. Then, when they cabe, we charge them triple to recoup losses. Canadian companies need to do their part, even if it hurts the bottom line.

There is forever an effort to stop smugglers when it's more than evident that the solution is to stop the demand for illegal drugs. No demand, and the crisis stops,bottom line.

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

Trump and his cohorts must go! Americans are not in a line with them!

Thank you to everyone from all over the world in support of Canada standing up to Trump. As a Canadian born in N. Ireland who loves the US, and have many friends there, i am emotional reading all these comments especially the us folks, it gives me hope. Im to old and broke down to be in on the front lines, but i will limp my way to fight for this country. We are not for sale.\nELBOWS UP\nPeace from Toronto
