It’s deeply embarrassing that the only way to make sure the President listens is to address him by name in a speech. I wish I’d been born in Canada

Is this a prelude to invade Canada? After all he wants it to be the 51 state. I hope I am wrong.

? cnn and trudue don’t get it. Canada has been taking very little from us and expect the US to take a lot from them. It’s not equal trade. The left doesn’t really care about equality. This inequality has hurt America for decades, generations

As an American I support Canada, even though we will suffer, I can’t support what the Mad KIng is doing.

We support Canada. All other freedom loving countries should follow their actions and impose tariffs against all US goods.

It is time for Canada to look at building an infrastructure to help Canada supply sales to other countries. As the USA political system is to insecure, the same as the people the USA elected.

If you all love Canada and Ukraine and the UK then leave you woke clowns ?. All you woke want do is get free stuff from the government. MAGA. CNN=CHINAS NEWS NETWORK

The president of usa did this and 25% of americans did this. the other 75 % love canada. Chuck tRump. may he rot in hell.

Canada needs to close the borders, initiate brown outs to Canada powered US states, and STOP buying damn Tesla's and boycott other Musk businesses along with Trump businesses. They are nothing without their money!! Musk has 13 freaking kids.. make him feel the child support!

Socialists in America and in Canada will piss on things that hurt the Elitists. 100% behind Mr. Trump. Where one goes, we all go.

On a clear vision, Trump is isolating America. Let it just be Trump, Vance against Canada, Ukraine, Europe. Because democracy could be restored without them. The world should be balance, and America was on that side before Trump's dooming

I don't think I've ever bought anything that was made in Canada. I think we'll be ok...go ahead and play your hand.

We love Canada. This won’t be played on Fox as that is not in their game plan. We’ll be suffering too, but not Donald or Elon.

I'm so glad this has happened. Canada is strong enough to fight back. There's a chance it will wake up the American populace before this US Administration goes too far and tarnishes the country for a generation.

Canada, please adopt me.

All of you siding with Trudeau GO LIVE IN CANADA THEN, And get the hell out of the USA. \nTraitors

Crazy how the laws and societal pressures preventing us from speaking critically about our own president has forced Americans to rely on Canada to speak for them. Thank you Trudeau for keeping freedom of speech alive

TRUDEAU DIDNT QUIT? WHY WOULD ANYONE LISTEN TO HIM. PS CANADA ORIGINAL WAS OREGON TERRITORY.

If it wasn't for I'll family members me and my family would move to canada

Here's the sense, Trump wants to turn the US into a totalitarian dictatorship period‼️\nHe's a modern-day Hitler ?\nI'm on Canada's side ❤❤

A speech you can actually understand that is coherent is a nice change! I love how media makes out like Canada is escalating things...it started with Trump, just like Putin invaded Ukraine!

Trump isn't interested in Canada's minerals because he is going to get it from Ukraine via putin

He knows that of which he speaks thank you Canada from an American

Justin just called an election. Obviously, Trump and 60% of Canadians don’t like you. Look at what you’ve done to Canada before all this. This guy and Newsom are cut from the same cloth— all talk, incompetent, and corrupt.

Thank you Canada! I hope my country returns to sane behavior soon and hope Canada will forgive us. From Chicago

Canada, we welcome you to the European Union, if you want!

I thought Trump was only going to match the tariffs that Canada had on America for decades! Anyone know how much more USA is charging compared to Canada?! What an outrage! USA is leaving so many victums in it's wake!

Love to Canada from Pole.

Well, Mr. Prime Minister, if Donald Trump can’t get this bullshit and criminal activity straightened out here in US we’re all coming to live with you so let’s hope he does .hang in there Canada

As a European, it's a pitty I'm not in America anymore. I'm very curious what the American citizens think about this. This will have a negative effect on the entire world. I don't know if Trump realizes it, but America will not come out on top. It will become the biggest loser of this whole ordeal, I'm afraid. This is becoming dangerous. Europe always saw the East as the big threat, but it might be the West. (Not you Canada, we love you <3 )

Shame! Shame! Shame on You, Trump and and J.D Vance and the rest of the devil ? people who voted for you! From Canada ??

Governor of Canada is not happy.

Again Canada backstabbing Mexico , Mexico’s other so called trading partner, by siding with the United States in calling the cartels “ terrorist “ in the hopes that the United States, will pardon Canada and only attack Mexico…

Do yall have any openings in Canada ??

Australia stands with Canada.

As an American and as a Republican I fully support Canada and Ukraine in this matter.

Re fentanyl, Canada is probably doing more than we do. Please don’t judge all Americans based on this weak man

Go to hell Trudeau. You're a disgusting communist that failed Canada and didn't fix the border that would have prevented this. of course, anybody who watches CNN is an idiot.

Canada . Australia stands with you. We are both parties of the Commonwealth realm. We will work together. You can rely on us. ?????

We are so sorry Canada!?

I’m a dual US-Italian citizen and I stand with Canada so nice to hear a compassionate speech with facts, and concern for the welfare of the public not dictators and oligarchs.

Thank you Prime Minister. We will fight for our country Canada, our culture, our values and our economy. We will not negotiate with a country that directly threatens our sovereignty. We hope in future to rebuild a relationship with our neighbours, but only when that can be done in a respectful manner. Time now to unite with other countries and build new trading relationships.

I want that guy to be my president Im moving to Canada or the UK want a competent leader not an orange sour head who doesn't understand business or politics and his little disrespectful side kick JD Vance should have got his Azz kicked by President Zelensky for talking while grown people are talking

Why can't CA counter-attack with 27% TARIFFS instead of match the 25% set by Trump? Show more strength CANADA! WE sound very scattered trying to match up to this fight. Since this economic attack was sudden and uncalled for WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS COUNTER ATTACK! NOT WEATHER THE STORM. Protect Canadian Pride Mr. Prime Minister. CA has been globally humiliated already. MUST BRING BACK & RAMP UP CANADIAN Manufacturing. RELAX some of the enviorenmental laws temporally. RAMP UP FORCES RECRUITMENT. Strengthen Asian relationships to boost our manufacturing. MAN UP CANADA.. True North Strong!!

Canada has had tariffs on American products for over 10 years, but the United States has no tariffs on Canada until today. Canada should think about that.

Us Aussies stand with Canada Mexico and anyone else the ??? show is going after.

How refreshing to listen to an intelligent leader! i only take issue with him calling Trump a smart guy. Trump will never do anything but ridicule and insult Trudeau and Canada no matter what concessions Canada makes. The great thing is that Trump never had any kind of plan except to tariff the hell out of our former allies. Canada is very systematic about their tariffs against US. They are using a scalpel rather than a sledgehammer. Very smart against very stupid, childish, and undisciplined.

It's funny when Trudeau talks in canada they don't allow comment

As a New Zealander, I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Europe ?? ❤

From Belgium here, we stand firmly with Canada, Mexico and Europe. We must stay unified! ????
