I'm fully convinced now that Trump and Putin are complicit in these tariffs. The outcomes of these tariffs divide us from our allies, weaken the US economy, foment unrest, and create suffering and economic severity in the population. Yes, these tariffs do not make sense until one realizes who is driving them. These are Putin's objectives. Trump has been compromised, and Musk noticed a great buying opportunity. It was either go to jail, or be bought. And he sold us all down the river.

Thank you Canada. You are the role model of how all other countries should and hopefully will react to Trumps' irrational global tariff terror.

Your no friend the Canadian people are did they already told you they want you gone so but you have to say don't matter You don't even make vehicles and you tariff our vehicles do you need us a lot more than we need you And as far as pooling goes yes he's a dictator and not a good person but he also did want he had to do for his country since NATO kept moving east after promising not to and yet we still try to help you trade and they want to try to be tough guys like you how's that working for both of you

As per the result of the Four Nations Faceoff Championship game, the US is hereby to be known as the 11th province of Canada. So how could a province impose tariffs on its own country ?

Keep your Fentanyl out of America, end your tariffs on the goods you import from America and protect your North West passage from China and we won’t put tariffs against your bull shit insignificant country.

Charge 300% tariff on Canadian Lumber!!!!

I work at an auto assembly plant in Michigan. There should be no tariffs on imported auto parts for a few years in order for the automakers to have time to set up shop in the USA. Tariffs on food and drink shouldn't exist.

1) he's not speaking directly to anyone but a camera, 2) he could simply cancel the digital service tax, the 200% tariffs canada puts on US for dairy, HVAC, and other products. He's a lying hypocrite who put us in this position by not negotiating in good faith.

Trudeau's words are smoke and mirrors a bit imo. Liberals will go forward with an additional 20% carbon tax dispitie the tariffs occurring. Trump isn't the only one that is harming Canada in one way or another. Trump is forcing Canada to do better with our borders and crisis's that had not been addressed quickly enough. We (Canada) allowed these issues to get out of hand and it took another country to tell us that we needed to do better because the issues affect them as well. I'm stating facts here and now we Canadians will suffer for all of it.

So, he's just going to do the same thing as trump? If tariffs from trump are hurting US citizens, won't that hurt canada even more as well?

Just to be clear, the United States did not impose tariffs Donald Trump did.

Now why would I believe this Marxist Canadian products have been expensive which makes me think that they had tariffs and USA didn’t but USA ain’t taking your bs so now you are butt hurt so now deal with it

Lower your tariffs. You charge us 25%. Golden rule. Dont charge us what you don’t want to be charged.

No one cares about what Trudeau thinks. Lame duck. Tariff these fools.

Some persons were just talking about their sentiments on their personal point of view but looking at US point of view, know that the US trade deficit (Deficit exists where US import from another nation to US exceeds US export to that nation from US) with Canada exceeded 58 billion dollars in 2024; with Mexico is more than 170 billion dollars in 2024; and with China is more than 295 billions dollars in 2024. In the Philippines, Philippine entrepreneurs and the like who are exporting their products had been enjoying tax incentives (It does mean when exports live the country versus imports being received by the country then) as Philippine export earning is the one making the Philippine economy richer with money gained while import is making the money to go out of the country (going out as cost or expense) then while being revenue of another country (so that the profit of a country which is revenue less the expense is obviously what is the truth about any argument about tariff (which in a way is discriminating the deficit in becoming wider and wider to the pleasure of those who loved imported goods then).

What tariffs do you have set for the US?

Castros illegitimate child just said US tariffs will hurt Anericans... then this moron implements tariffs on US goods....guess what moron that will then hurt your people and economy ? libtard logic ...oh and hes on tje way out so we care what he says...yeah not at all ?...canada makes me laugh

Has anyone looked at tariffs Canada as been putting on US imports? For example milk gets an over 100% tariff F Canada let’s see how long you can hold out

americans please wake up. they are all corrupt but canada is petty. they ALREAADY IMPOSE TARIFFS ON US. weve just been nice.

Trumps hitting Canada with tariffs because Melania was going Gaga over Trudeau. What a spiteful disgusting excuse for a human being let alone president. Him and his best girlfriend eyeliner Vance.

tariffs only hurt your own people

I stand with America but I support Ukraine and I support Canada. But these tariffs have got to go. Good speech Trudeau and God help us all.

Not surprised at the amount of treasonous morons in this comment section, siding with foreign leaders that have been ripping us off for decades. Canada already imposes tariffs on US products, now they are adding additional taxes, when all they had to do is lower (better yet, eliminate) their current ones. I guess progressives like being taxed to hell.

Funny. Before tariff , drugs were 97% more in dec last month according to his saying..\nDumb guy, Trudeau does not know what he was saying implied that canada was careless last year till Tariff introduced by trump. ya Dumb guy I would say

The fact that this clown thinks we give a sh is hysterical. So it’s ok for Canada to pay 1.3% gdp towards nato while we pay 60% and put ourselves in debt to the tune of one trillion dollars a year TO PROTECT THEM. They tariff us double or triple what we charge them but that’s supposed to be fine. Canada is a government that doesn’t give af about this country or the clueless people in this thread. Don’t believe me just do the research and see what they’ve been charging us all over Europe. Do some research and stop being ignorant about this topic. Canada is 1,3 % of our gdp. We are 60% of theirs. Do the math.

President Musk planning to buy up American and Canadian interests that will fail because of these tariffs his puppet is implementing.

You lost me as soon as you mentioned OUR Liberal narrative Putin, after that you just sound like a typical liberal crybaby. I feel for you all, i do, but we had tariffs before and its fine to have yhem again, the market will correct and we will manufacture our own goods and energy. You aren't flexing shit because we can tarrif you right into a 51st state, unfortunately you would be like California. Who is gonna protect your ass in a war? Whos tax dollars? You been dragging ass for a century and not paying your way, meanwhile the US pays more for military to cover your ass. Keep talking shit, join Ukraine and let me know how it works out.

President Musk planning to buy up Canadian interests that will fail because of these tariffs he is implementing.

PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU, YOU ARE EDUCATED, THE FELON THAT HOLDS THE SEAT IN THE US IS NOT!!!!!!!!! IF HE WASN'T SO STUPID, HE WOULD KNOW THAT TARIFFS ARE PAID BY THE US, SO THAT SHOWS HIS STUPITIDITY!!!

He was always lying to you. He was always going to go with tariffs for the money. Because hes stupid. So so sorry.

Clearly Canada didn’t do enough until pressure was put on them by Donald Trump, JT even states in this speech that there has been a vast improvement since DT asked Canada to up its game. They are now pulling their weight so perhaps the tariffs will be dropped after all. Canada has been a freeloader for far too long.

These tariffs are a part of Trump's revenge tour. Mexico didn't pay for the wall and Trudeau made jokes about him.\n\nThis has nothing to do with immigrants or drugs.

Hey Justin, I bet Donald would drop all these tariffs if Pierre got into power….but I bet you wont hurry up and leave….for “your fellow Canadians”

Canada, you should have gone to fifty per cent tariffs on USA, let americans like that????

I always understood the tariffs on Mexico in order to force the Mexican gvt to fight the Cartel. I understand the China tariffs and doing what it takes to sell less Chinese products here and more US products.\n\nNow…… Canada???? Really? They are our closest brother country! This is stupid!!! We need Canada and they need us. Donald doesn’t speak for this country.

Trudeau is an extension of Biden and his mindless leadership. Why were you not taking stronger measures on the border before you were threatened tariffs? It’s bc you were part of the root problem. Now you’re pretending like you wanna play along but you should have chosen this a long time ago.

If I could afford to move from the US to Canada I would move. I am so sick of Trump’s destructive behavior. He’s a very insecure and unhappy person and the only way he can deal with it is by making others miserable. He doesn’t need reasons for implementing new tariffs. He does these things to demonstrate his power, because he’s a class A bully. Canadians, stay strong. We’ll see you this summer when we =action in BC. Your country is clean, safe and the people are so nice.

Stop the fentanyl and illegal immigration’s \nTrump will just up US tariffs \nSTOP THE DRUGS

There are no right or wrong in tariff war and there is always a winner after it is over. As for the Putin rhetorics, Trudeau has aligned himself with murderous Israeli leader without blinking.

Truly a testing time across the world. Imagine if everyone could put differences aside and fight the problems that really matter, together. Trumps tariffs have a deeper root than many of us can reach.

Make it fair across the bord on tariffs man you’re border and stop crying

Why is it our fault to ask Canada to not put huge tariffs on our goods? All they have to do is drop the tariffs on our products and we drop them on their products.

Canadian tariffs on American cars: 6%. American tarrifs on Canadian cars: 2.5%. IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR MANY YEARS! Cry me a river, pretty boy.

What’s wrong with reciprocal tariffs, seems fair to me.

Very straightforward condemnation against the Trump administration on these tariffs. Trump is looking for trouble at the expense of the citizens without thinking about the welfare of the people. Trump wants to bankrupt Canada because it has ample resources and Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. It is quite impossible to bankrupt Canada because it can always expand its international trade to other countries, like Europe, etc. Do not tolerate the bully. Salute to Trudeau for being honest to confirm that there are no winners in this stupidity.

What an embarrassment to Canada. Trudeau had 1 job to do: Stop the smuggling of drugs to the states from our border. Instead, he's ignored this and thinks he is justified in talking tough. What a disgrace. We deserve the tariffs for voting in Trudeau.

America is not putting tariffs upon you... Just the idiot new dictator trump. All your words are reasonable and sane and correct. We do not even understand how or why he has decided the victim Zelensky is somehow at fault, while putin who the entire world hates, who is actively destroying his own country... Is somehow trumps boyfriend. ::Stares empty:: America has zero idea why. Well said Justin Trudeau.

If the US imposes any sanctions against Australia , Australia will impose tarrifs against the US of 100% and reduce tariffs significantly to goods and services in Canada, Mexico, UK, Japan, Taiwan and China

Please dont stand with canada, canada deserves the 25 percent of tariff, should be more than 25 percent, even 50 percent, trudeau need to go, destroyed my family

Governor Trudeau spoke well. But tariff can be easily avoided across the state line.
