? Canada President Trudeau for taking a stand against this two headed beast in the U.S. Trump and Musk are monsters. They don't care who they hurt. They will eat their own babies.\n\nI am a black woman who lives in the U.S. who did not vote for Trump. Most Americans are not on board with these new deals against all of our allies.\n\nOur allies are having to take drastic measures against the U.S. because the people who voted for Trump were racist or just idiots and now we're all in the same boat who will suffer.\n\nTrump can never be trusted and the rest of his cronies.\n\nThis is going to be hard for all of us but we all will make it. Black people have always had to make a way out of no way.

Imagine voting for Trump over inflation while he was saying he would use tariffs and people thinking it wouldn't affect them. So naive. Trump is an agent of chaos who is anathema to everything this country stands for, and it's self-evident by his actions. We are a country who is strong because of our friends around the world and no one will trust this country when we keep putting an idiot in office who doesn't honor former president's agreements. You can't work with a country who won't stick to it's agreements. You wouldn't tolerate a friend like that, and this is the same thing on a macro level.

I was born and live in the US and trust me, there are many people including me who not only didn't vote for Trump, but can't believe his ridiculous rhetoric and actions. I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine.

Sell your product to uk and EU simple don’t be bullied by the trump he’s trying to weaken you so he can propose a state for your country don’t deal with them sell your product to uk eu etc they can’t be trusted no more and I love America ?? and there people but this has gone terribly wrong now he’s in power and by the way I wanted trump to win but now he’s lost me ?

Trust me, we Americans don't want this either.

Oh, no, no …? “opponents” are the US leaders already, they are NOT on your side anymore. They with Putin, they vote with Putin, they trust Putin, they respect Putin, really????

Drumpff is antithetical to progress. He is a cancer on our world. I just wish the Democrats would actually start fighting this BS with all means at their disposal. For all the MAGA out there I hope you enjoy what you wrought. It’s not liberal tears, it’s nationwide suffering. WE PAY FOR TARIFFS!!!!! Look up how well Smoot-Halley affected the country. Ttump (sic) has been self-dealing since I heard of him in the 70’s. He played on your fears & you bought his lie. To quote P.T. Barnum, “A sucker is borne every minute.” One of the primary things I impart to my kids is to not trust a salesman!!!!

I’ve said it a million times. Waste of time to even reason with Trump communists and totalitarian ideas. Just ask anyone now who is 55 years old or older and grew up in - say - Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union. These commies will tell you anything … black is white, what you see it’s not what we see, it’s just not to be reasoned with. Exactly like the Canadian PM says, just trust him! They did all they had been asked to do and now the US gov says “no, you didn’t, no it’s not enough”. It’s a communist lie. If Canada did twice as much as needed, they would have said the same, lame lies. ? Lastly, this is all from the Soviet playbook, way before Putin and it’s still their “playbook”.

Trudeau tucked up canada.. we canadians don't trust him.. canadian economy is worst in decaded and the country will be on knees in few months.

So true. Canada is reasonable and polite. That’s the obvious difference from US and that’s why I much more trust them.

Brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for being decent PM Trudeau. Americans love Canadians too. Trust and believe it..

Trust the process, trump knows what hes doing for our country.

Canada leaders are on target! They should not allow this worthless bully Trump to bully them! How senseless and ridiculous for Trump to cause this huge problem! Trump wants to be a dictator like Russia president which is why he speaks so favorably about Russia and speak down to our allies and our leaders.\nAmerica foolishly voted Trump back into office , now watch as he destroy this country , families , jobs and alike. \nPrices are higher than ever, Americans will go further into debt with the tariffs our allies are being forced to do!\nOur allies will NEVER TRUST US again

Don't trust him, he is a drug addict!

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

I wwissh we could trust this man

Trump, Vance, and Musk are doing irreplaceable damage to America. How can the world ever trust America again. \nFox and Murdoch have created an idiocracy.

I live in America and I can tell you that I did not vote for the orange Oompa Loompa! Trump is a liar, a thief, a felon, a con man, a narcissist, a dictator wannabe, a traitor to the US, an insurrectionist, a sore loser, asexual, predator, and a POS! Please go after trump! I stand with Canada, Mexico and the rest of our allies! Nobody should ever trust anything out of that moron’s mouth! A narcissist will always do the opposite of what you tell them to do

Don’t trust any politicians . Don’t be surprised if there isn’t more to this

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.

Trumps not a smart guy he's a sly guy you can't trust his word

Go Canada! Be tough on America. America deserves NO sympathy. I'm sorry. Most Americans are sorry about this situation. I hate the orange troll and I'm just as angry at the people that voted for him. But, I don't think even they thought he would do this and probably trusted the Congress to stop these things. But, the Republican side of Congress is made up of cowards. This will hurt America. I just hope in the end, this will make America better because people will realize the consequences of their stupidity. And stop electing spineless and evil representatives.

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

Don't worry about us worry about your own people we trust our president Donald Trump America first

Trump is a liar. He didn’t respect the treaties and the adjustments he himself set last month. Trump and Putin can’t be trusted 0.

I am so sad???our friends, our allies, to whom Canada has always supported in their wars, has been always side by side is BETRAYING US???How can you trust??????this is the second time brothers. FIX IT

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.

We Americans trust our President Mr. Trump. Not you, Mr. Trudeau.

Our truck was made in Canada, one of the best vehicles we have every had. It's almost 30 years old and still runs great with very few problems. We trust products from Canada. Stupid is as stupid does!

I am American independent voter who vote against Treasonous Trump this past election of 2024 in favor of Kamala Harris. While many of my fellow Americans voted for Trump many others like me did not. Now so many good and event Americans are going to suffer because of many Maga or Maga supporting Americans who foolishly chose to support Trump and his lies. Any pain and suffering Anti Trump supporting Americans, along international American Allies and theuir people, suffer will be squarely on the shoulders of Maga and Maga supporting Americans.\n\nHow Trumps first term wasn’t a wake up call and eye opener to how terrible he was and is as president is beyond me. He, treasonous Trump, did nothing to help our economy which essentially stalled or went into generally neutral state with essentially no growth positively or negatively, followed by a near complete nose dive due to Treasonous Trump’s poor handling and equally poor response to the Covid-!9 Pandemic. How people could seemed to forget that Treasonous Trump, not Joe Biden, was responsible for the current sate of things following the pandemic is beyond me. \n\nMaga and Maga supporting Americans have been conned again by Treasonous Trump, who not only failed to properly respond to the Covid pandemic but also incited and or encouraged many of Maga supporters to essentially attack the US Capitol in hopes of stopping Joe Biden’s Presidential Certification. Those in the Inter national world are not alone in their condemnation of the disgrace and embarrassment that sis current US President Trump. True Americans who believe in our constitution and rule of law as decreed by the founding fathers of our nation must unfortunately bare part of the shame Maga America has brought upon our country as a whole.Truly good and decent Americans must bare the shame of now living in a country that much International world now no longer trusts and has lost respect for. For all the hateful Maga thinking and or supporting Americans there are as many truly good non maga Americans who want more peaceful relations with allies in the international world. Sadly because of Trump and his hate many must now unjustly suffer .

Canadian here ... we are so very proud of our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ... Canadians coast to coast are 100% united. We are buying Canadian, or if not available here from a trusted partner ... BOYCOT everything from the usa. We can NEVER trust the usa again. What I can't get by is 77+ million of you voted for ALL of this. We are defending our country, americans ask yourselves ... why exactly are you going to be paying more? who benefits? thank you felon president for this

I will never understand how so many Americans thought it was a good idea to vote for someone who’s clearly stupid and who lies about practically everything. How? The whole world watched this horror show and knew exactly what was happening. \nI will never understand how anyone can trust a narcissistic idiot like Donald. This pathetic excuse of a man makes me sick. ?

He ruined Canada. Nobody likes him, and the Liberals will 100% lose the upcoming election. Crime is out of control. Auto theft as basically an epidemic. Immigration has ruined our housing market. This is the worst Canada has never been in a very long time. But now he speaks like this? Very suspecious. I don't trust him one bit.

So just so I'm clear on this, you spent the last 4 years attacking your own citizens, taking away there voices and money, and becoming the worst Canadian president in history and we are supposed to trust you?

I trust president Trump

Our president is a joke. He can’t be trusted and will never keep his word.

The majority of Canadians no longer trust Trudeau or his liberal cronies. He has prorouged our government to tie our hands behind our backs. Do you people understand what that means? It means Canadians no longer have a voice or a vote. Of course CNN fake news is promoting this bs and the lies because he pays them. We're not free to choose our own government, news sources or speak freely anymore. We want him gone and Pierre Pollieve to replace him.

Bravo Canada! You know how to elect a leader! Trump and his cronies can place tariffs on anything but they will never earn Trust or Respect.

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

I don't believe and don't trust a WEF selected and Global Young Leaders trained politician who terrorized his own people and truckers during the pandemic unnecessary lockdowns!! Now he hooks up with all other international wannabe elite betrayers to again work against the taxpayers. The war is rich against the poor.

Well done JT. Everyone is careful not to upset DT, but finally someone has said it straight. Trump is a bully and a liar. Trump cannot be trusted. Trump thinks the US does not need friends. You don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater but countries need to stand up to Trump and that complete idiot of a VP.

Truth matters! \n\nWithout facts…there is no TRUTH!\nWithout truth there is no TRUST!\nTrump lives in misinformation and chaos. Trump sows fear and misery, we the people of the USA disagree and we the people are not Trump! \n\n\nCanadians are our sister sand brothers from another mother. We are in this together and suffering Trump’s un fathomable policies.\n\nWe all have to stand up. Stand up against this tyrannical regime. \n\nWe the people need to hold fast, stand as one against

Europe has just announced an 800 billion Euro defence plan; I bet they’d be very interested in Canada’s critical minerals. Canadians will not forget this; this has damaged our relationship with the U.S. and it may never recover. We cannot forget that Americans voted this man back into power knowing who and what he is; they somehow believed that he was magically going to lower the cost of eggs, end a war and save the economy. Canadians will never trust that Americans won’t again elect someone so stupid and pathetically unfit to lead their country; we have to start cutting the trade ties now so that we will never be this vulnerable again. I do agree with Dumpty that we need to pull our weight militarily, so we need to invest in our security and we also need to align ourselves with Europe since Dumpty is clearly aligning the U.S. with Russia.

I said it when DJT ran for President the first time. He doesn't know how to run a country. He is not Presidential at all. He is going to bankrupt our country. Put out safety at risk while alienating longtime allies. We have never in my life time trusted Russia. What we will be leaving our future generations is debt. More debt then we've ever known.

Trump went against the trade deal that he made with Canada and Mexico when he renegotiated the existing deal during his first term. Trump called his deal with them beautiful and perfect. Trump does not keep the deals he makes to other countries or to the Americans who voted for him. \n\nTrump's final push in his campaign was to cut costs for Americans at the checkout, chuckling at the strange sound of the word 'groceries' to him. He has never worried about or dealt with buying groceries. The moment he got back into office, he said that lower prices wasn't happening and that the American people would suffer. \n\nThen he and Republicans began cuts in jobs and government services to Americans as well as others in the world, so that no one can trust Trump --- and in the case of others in the world, it reflects so bad on the U.S. and against any trust in the U.S. anymore. No president has ever done so much damage at home and abroad so quickly. \n\nTrump is the Deceiver and the Destroyer. Trump doesn't care if his voters figure it out. They are no longer needed.

I am Brazilian and have always admired Canada—its people, landscapes, and culture. May this moment serve for you to come together and not forget those who betrayed your trust.

This also time to boycotte US $ as international currency. May be € to be replaced. \nMust remove all UN head offices to somewhere else. \nBoycotte , isolate , ostracized this lunatic psycopath gangster erratic leader of US.\n\nCanada , Europe, Mexico, Japan and S.Korea to built as soonest as possible Nuclear Reactor and bmbs. etc. \nBecause you cannot trust from this untrustworthy, mentally imbalanced leader from US.

Canada -- Congratulations to you for not supporting Putin's puppy. Trump's damned fool supporters deserve the results of their meanness and boundless stupidity. Too bad farmers, Cubans, anti-immigrant racists, holy rollers, misogynists, and fools. You go, Trudeau. Trump cannot be trusted in any way. Born damaged. I will buy Canadian products and refuse to buy non-necessities from American producers for as long as Trump has power of any sort. Trump is working for Russia and the Republicans are helping him. I don't forget those who attack my family. TRUMP WORKS FOR RUSSIA.

I'm a Scottish person who has just had maple syrup and bacon on my pancakes. Won't be buying any American pancake toppings that's for sure. Go Canada. Really hoping when Scotland qualify for the Mexico/USA/Canada world cup in 2026 that we don't end up in the USA. Don't trust them anymore!
