Stop the Cuba Boycott, Boycott Canada. Canada, You have nothing the US needs! Pound Sand. Trudeau you are not worthy to stand in Trumps shadow. If the Tariffs are a dumb thing to do why are you so upset? F the French Canadians and the French in general. Have a good day.

I can only hope that Europe and the UK will not wait, but choose for a preemptive tariff. This way in total $1.5 trillion of US business will be hit, in a combined strike of China, Mexico, Canada and the EU. This Bullshit of Trump has to stop.

There are a lot of people here in America that absolutely can't stand Trump. That didn't vote for him and wish that what is going on in America is just a nightmare. \nPeople are protesting , wishing more politicians would stand up to Trump and the government he is creating. \nHow can people be so blind to his ways. I don't hold Canada or any other nation raising the tariffs. Im beside myself on the way my country is going.

Well done Canada from your brothers and sisters across the pond. Naturally this is the only reciprocal response to such tariffs by adding ones of your own so I am not sure what Trump aims to gain from this.

Trump demands loyalty, but he never is willing to give it. Canada is right to resist his ridiculous tariffs. Stay strong, Canada! Sane, decent Americans are with you!

Many, many US citizens are with you and support Canada. Trump is creating this tariff war in a unilateral fashion. We do not support it, we don’t want it and our economy doesn’t demand it. These are foolish decisions made by an unscrupulous businessman turned politician.

As an American the citizens don't really have a choice on what trump decides to do. If you want to match his 25% tariffs I think you should. We qlso don't want to help putin hurt others. We want to work with Canada our allies. I don't personally know anyone that doesn't agree with this but that doesnt meant they do not exost.

Just curious, currently (before Trump's Tariffs) how much TARIFFS does Canada pay for American goods and how much TARRIFS does America pay for Canadian goods? If Trump is increasing TARIFFS more than Canada, then that's sad.

I don't like Trudeau. I don't like what he did to Canada in advancing a ridiculous far left agenda however I also don't believe the tariffs employed by Trump were the correct thing to do. Mexico and China, yes. Canada, no!

I live in Nashville, TN USA. I am so sorry Canada is suffering due to Trump. I do not support this move on Trump's part. I never voted for him. I have known for many years he is a dangerous narcissist. Canada is our friend. You have come to our aide in times of trouble. Our forest fires, 911 when the planes hit our twin towers. Trump wants a 4.5 Trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy. He sees tariffs as a way to make up some of that money alone with huge budget cuts to many of our programs. Trump is an unreasonable person who only thinks about himself. I hope he will eventually be impeached. I do not blame Canada. I blame Donald Trump and the the Republican Congress. This is a coupe going down in our country and it is sad to watch. Take good care.

Here is another approach to Trumps tariff. Any country like Canada, China and Mexico etc etc. All these countries can tell Trump shove it. Stop importing goods into the U.S. find other countries that can and replace the U.S. and watch America and Republicans literally collapse. Just a thought Tariff means customer will pay more for sure.

I'm canadian and trudolf is a piece of ?.The corrupt liberals have destroyed Canada not trumps tariffs. If the tariffs are not bad enough this corrupt liberal reciprocal tariffs are going to destroy us even more. This piece of garbage froze our bank accounts when we peacefully protested against his tyranny. Don't be fooled by this dictator. This is exactly what he wants it plays into the corrupt liberal agenda to make the people more dependent on the government. Trudolf is a lying piece of ?

Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

The Canadians love the\n? beers of USA. They love President Trump.❤️AND IF CANADA BECOMES THE 51ST STATE OF USA, THE CANADIANS AND AMERICANS WILL HAVE A WONDERFUL Economic RECIPROCITY OF BUYING AMERICAN GOODS and Canadian products without worrying tariffs for Canadian goods.??

Canada, pls offer USA to join you as your 11th province, Donald Trump could hold an honorary position as Governor of American Province. No tariffs for either side.

Good on you Canada, Australia supports your standing up to Trump. He has even hit Australia with tariffs on steel and Aluminium. Trump is a criminal and a traitor to his country.

Ok Trudeau, if Canada is implementing a tariff as well does that mean Canadian will also stop paying taxes like Trump is doing in the US?

Canada already charges tariffs on US products, Trump is just leveling the playing field, you charge we charge, you don't buy our products, we don't buy your products.

Let’s face it, these tariffs have nothing to do with drugs or immigration, they are only meant to force Trumps delusion of Canada becoming the 51st state.

Do you believe this Canadian?? \nHe's all pissed off because he has to pay tariffs on his goods . \nThese countries are so used to getting away with murder, now that Trump put a stop to it , and they have to pay their tariffs, Trump is the bad guy ! \n\nAmerica pays tariffs when we export our goods, do you see us complain?? ...The nerve on this guy ! \nMake canada America 51 st state! \nIt's a good deal ! ????

I love Canada. Trudeau is just doing what he has to do. I harbor no ill will for Canada or the tariffs they will impose on us. The Felon fucked up and tried to look tough and Trudeau called him on it. Trump is a Russian asset and a traitor. The Republicans own this as well. We turned our back on our allies and now we have to stand alone. Russia will not help us. Trump needs to be impeached before our country is destroyed.

trump put the tariffs on canada because canada did not want to become the 51st state, and i don't blame canada

wow great speech. Addressing American people, Donald, and Canadians. We are embarrassed what trump has done to our allies. Glad Canada is standing up to trump. This is not about the drug fight. This is about cutting taxes for the rich and now he has to make up for the deficits. A lot of people lost their jobs in the government and now tariffs. Trump and Vance need to be removed. Canada, Europe, NATO, UN, CIA please please do something, you are our last hope

With a dish, respectful Prime Minister like Justin Trudeau, if I were President Donald J Trump I would immediately double the Tariffs. And I live in Canada. \nIt just shows that on his way out, he doesn’t care a bit about any Canadian . They was so many things Justin Trudeau has done in his tender being Prime Minister wrong

Impressive statement, PM Trudeau! I support Canada, even though Minnesota will be hurt a lot by tariffs. Dictator Trump’s actions are indefensible! I’ll be sorry to see world leader Trudeau no longer be Prime Minister. And now Trump wants to arrest college student protestors.

Canada must not be cooperating. If they were Trump would not have imposed the tariffs. As an American I support our President. I’ve researched imports from Canada and I don’t buy any of them.

As an American I fully support Trudeau and Canada. As far as I'm concerned Canada should raise tariffs against the USA for EVERYTHING starting at 100%. The USA under Trump is now Canada's enemy, just as it is the enemy of Ukraine, Europe and the entire rest of the non-fascist world.

Once the American people see what Trump is doing to their country they will want him out. Canada should add another one percent per month to the tariffs until the Ameican stock market bombs.

Let’s get this clear - This is not about hurting Canada with Tariff. This is all part of Trump’s plan to create panic, confusion and frustration to the American people to make us weak so he can sell us to PUTIN. The tariff to Canada, Mexico and China; his immigration racist decisions to target Latinos; the way he and Vance attacked to president Zaleski and firing federal employes is just ALL Part of a plan to create confusion, so while we scratch our head, he allied with PUTIN.

Donald Trump, as a U.S. President, was not sincere. During his campaign, he falsely claimed that people in the U.S. eat cats and dogs, a statement that has no truth to it. After becoming president, he continued to use the issue of fentanyl as a justification for imposing tariffs on Canada. His actions suggest that he is not genuinely interested in moving the country forward but rather using tariffs as an excuse, which could ultimately harm Americans

Wait..does this mean Canada is now going to have a 285% tariff on our dairy goods? Yeah, that's for all the people who don't know what's currently going on, and just jump on the Trump hate bandwagon without researching anything.

Wow, Trump is good. Shook Canada to listen and work now. I am sure he has their attention, and an a few weeks, he will fix these tariffs. The point here is he is not playing any games with the world and he is putting America first best to work with then against America.

Trump is trying to manufacture a pretext for invading Canada. Trump will soon state that due to Canada's illegal tariffs that are stopping the supply of strategic goods necessary for the security of the United States, he is ordering the US military to invade Canada to secure the supply of those assets. US military of all ranks, you have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies. Trump is a traitor, he is betraying his allies, he is betraying the Constitution, he is dismantling the system of checks and balances that are enshrined in the Constitution. Trump is the enemy, do your duty and stop him. You have the training, you have the weapons, you have the reason. Fulfil your oath.

trump stated yesterday he was implementing tariffs because canada is stealing americann jobs and americas money. nothing about drugs. its not about that. he just wants to destroy everyone elses economy. he is destruction

Trump could care less how much the tariffs will hurt us Americans. He’s a dictator. The American people don’t support the actions he is taking. Only 25% of the US support him. They are uneducated and easily swayed people. \nMy ancestors are all from Quebec. Boy do I wish I had Canadian citizenship. I pray for Canada and their people. Please forgive the American people for being fooled by this dictator. ❤

Trump is unraveling democracy in the US. There is no reason to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada. They are our friends. This is unbelievable. Trump is an abomination!!

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

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!

We love Canada! We know that trump the traitor to Americans and Democracy started this horrible tariffs along with Americans losing jobs, Food is off the charts and the lies that trump tells has harmed our relations with European countries. All by him, the man who has been indicted in both criminal and civil law cases. We know that Canada shows honor in fighting back. If our spineless, cowardly republicans party would work for their constituents rather than for a criminal we would not be in This situation.

Fentanyl, immigration, and tariffs are just an excuse for Trump. He wants to take over Canada, Panama, and the Greenland for the economic benefits they bring to the USA, nothing more.

This man is a dictator and he doesn’t represent Canadians. Canada has big problems and its legal drugs are killing people and being sold everywhere. Thank you, Trump for these tariffs.???

All of these comments from Americans, saying you stand with Canada. Trump is just doing the same thing Canada has done to us. You people need to research the tariffs Canada has implemented in the past. Trump isn't going to let Canada and Ukraine use America anymore.

Go back and listen to Trump on tariffs. If a country is fair with America, America will be fair with them. Americans do not realize how many tariffs we pay as a country. There are also countries that do not allow us to sell in their countries although they sell to America.\n\nFor years Canada has allowed a steady flow of illegals and drugs into our country. Now only after Trump calling them out they have started putting A FEW programs into place. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THE LAST YEARS.

Canada is not America's ally or friend. Ally/friend suggests equal partner. Canada is America's junior partner, a sidekick at the best. Canada blindly signed up for whatever war America was in, regardless of how ridiculous the war was, such as the 2003 invasion of Iraq. There is a simple solution to the trade war: join US as the 51st state and all tariffs will be gone. This is what Trump wants and he is serious.

If he doesn't like tariffs put on him, then he shouldn't have tariffs on us . That's why Trump has put tariffs on Canada

●Canada less than 1% fentanyl comes thru Canadian border. Canada doesn’t make any precursor drugs for fentanyl. Tariff 25%?\n\n●China -99.5% of precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl come from china. No regulations. Tariffs 10%??\n\nMost should know that the fentanyl coming thru Canada is less than 1% If your wondering where the other 99% is coming from,know this- china allows the sale of the precursor drugs needed to make fentanyl, and it's unregulated. They suppy the mexican cartels these drugs to make and sell which comes across Mexican borders into the US. If china regulated the precursor drugs it could stop fentanyl manufacturing in its tracks. Again 10% tariffs vs 25% tariff. There was a time that china cooperated & worked with the US on this but have since stopped.\nSo whatever is going on with the trump administration, it's clear by the numbers this isn't about fentanyl with Canada. Especially since he didn't extend the same tariffs to the country that could actually stop the making of this horrible drug.

I think Canada will be better off than the US with these Tariff’s. The US government is grifting their people while Canada will help their businesses. Trump doesn’t care about US citizens, only his own glory.

Trudeau would NOT help America by closing their border to the illegals Trump threatened him with Tariffs How much in Tariffs has Canada been imposing on US the highest than anyone else and this man is crying

america won't hold these tariffs for long, remember Canada is a commonwealth country under the protection of his majesty the king of uk, a trade war with Canada is effectively a trade war with the uk and its commonwealth, the uk and the commonwealth will not stand by and watch putin being mommy cuddled by trump, let that sink in the british commonwealth is the largest fighting force in the world, the king has invited trump to the uk am pretty sure the king will let him know, Canada and the uk is the special relationship not the u.s fact, god bless Canada and the United Kingdom

Trudeau is a WEF puppet. A tariff war between Canada and the U.S. is ridiculous to begin with, and it will certainly have negative consequences for the U.S., but much more so for Canada. Let's face it, the U.S. internal market is several times that of Canada. Many businesses in Canada exist only because of their trade with the U.S. The same is not true for the U.S. Trudeau can paint whatever picture he wants to Canadians, but the Trump administration is not made of fools and they are very much aware of the reasons they have for having enforced the tariffs.
