This news report is being passed on in us by all kinds of youtube influencers everyone is discussed with what that president is doing causing all kinds of disaster over there aswell trumb is the only one that wants a trade war

2 things we don't want in Canada. The Liberal crooks and a trade war with the US. That man Trudeau ruined Canada more that Biden and Kamala did to the US.Trudeau supported fentanyl in Canada. Allowing users to commit crimes without legal consequence. Catch amd release when they commit home invasions stabbings break amd enter. Tax payer funded injection sites. Only changed his tune to please Trump.

I’m in Los Angeles we want trump and Elon and all trump administration out of government.. believe us not every one is with these dumb president

Sadly Taiwan just backed down and gave Trump whatever he wants. TSMC pledged 100 billion US dollar investment in the US to produce and research the most advanced chips in exchange for empty promise from Trump. Our government is spineless.

We don’t want this mess, either Mr. Trudeau. More than half of us want Rump to fall off the planet. We are trying to get rid of him.

Well I've already been fired due to Tarrifs. Now what? What are you going to do to help Mr. Trudeau?????????? You send BILLLLLLLLLLIONS to toger countries, what about us man? We want to work and now totally messed over.

As a U.S. citizen, my full support to you Canada- but going forward please emphasize that the Trump administration is choosing to start this trade war -not America-millions of us do not support or want to be associated with that tyrant in the White House!

As a U.S. citizen... I say.. fuck the U.S. Trade with Europe. Trade with Mexico. Pool your resorces and help each other survive. Let us have consequences. We elected this vermicious kinid. Support Ukraine. Let us think soley about our own interest like the tangerine todler we elected. Let us see how that works. I want to be proud of my country but we obviously need a lesson in humility.

I am a Canadian. We do not want conflict with USA. What we want is for our new leader to be voted in - and then work things out for trade. President Trump is aware of what we have suffered. Canada has stood firm.....the truckers in our capital....brought a siege all over the world for freedom. I do not want the tariffs.....that will hurt us both. But I did not like Trudeau's speech.....it was rude. It does not represent us as a country.

What this gentleman Justinder trudsingh is talking about Pres Putin, Justinder himself is a terrorist as he supports terrorism ,now US kicked hin in his ass ??? & look this shameless person is talking big about US. My dear fellow Canadians kick this man out of office if you want peace peace in your life

Trump wants our minerals that is why he wants us as 51st state, he wants to hurt us so we will give in.

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

Trump wants to fight drugs, yet pardons the largest drug dealer in US history history Ross Ulbricht.

Unfortunately, our government (republicans) at the moment don’t care about us. They taking away from our children’s education , (seniors) money for food and health care. They don’t care we die just as long as they give a tax cut to the rice. I really pray that the he changes his mind. However, I don’t really see it. He’s very crazy guy. They’ll have empathy for others. At time it seems like he’s calling his bluff to everyone. hHe don’t want to give in. He wants to be in control.

Canadian here ????????!! To any Americans reading this comment, my disgust over this whole tariff situation is not on the USA, it’s not Americans, IT’S TRUMP!!! Period!!! There is no doubt millions of you are very angry and embarrassed about what he wants to do. I want our 2 nations to be friends and allies forever. Any animosity between us is just extremely pointless. \n\nI want to thank the Americans who are wishing Canada and us Canadians the best and who are totally against what Trump wants to do!!!

It's simple replace 1.5 million jobs we stand to loose with factories here in Canada with products we would have bought from the state's. There r the jobs back. Then make deals with other countries and in 4 years when Trump is done and the state's want to work with us with tariffs again say sorry we have other partners don't have the extra supplies. And continue making Canada great again

US and Canada fighting is exactly what Trump did, because he wants to please his foreign masters. Scum bag!

Thank you from America. We don't want Trump either. Perhaps we can send he and Musk to Mars. I hope you give us 50% tariffs, let everyone who voted this charlatan into office pay!

The educated and thinking American people ( who are the majority of voters and unfortunately 1/3 did not vote) know that Donald Trump has lied to us. We understand that Canada has no fault and no role in contriving this trade war. We also know that the Fentanyl problem has little or nothing to do with Canada and that the majority of Fentanyl is brought into the USA by US citizens. Most American citizens do not want this. Donald Trump and is an opportunist. He does not care about the American people . He cares about himself and his money.

Canada, I don't blame you if you want to flip the middle finger at us Americans. We are responsible for having a monster and lunatic in the White House. We deserve to not be liked by Canadians, period. If I was a Canadian, I would not welcome Americans into Canada. We Americans are losers and suckers everyday that we do not fight back against MAGA and all of its republicans including Congress and Donald Trump. We are weak and live in servitude to the MAGA tyranny that is slowing destroying the United State's standard of living and reputation. Canada, I personally stand with you, and hope that your country will assist the resistance movement in the next revolution to take out Donald Trump and MAGA. I am so fired up and pissed off at my government and Donald Trump.

Man I just thought what if this is the shift of us losing our standing in the world as Americans. People better start shopping for what they need now than we want. It’s already hard day to day with wages we make imagine the cost associated with this trade war.

I want too take this time too say i am proud of you for saying you are a strong leader that obviously americans are sickened by the damage that trump has done too us Every True American who believes in our democracy we are suffering from just over 1 month and i am so sorry for how he treated Canada but understand this is NOT most Americans feelings were very upset and i pray that all of you in Canada realize our country has a been taken over and corrupted by trump and Elon Must

Oooooooooo.. don't want to see us hurt? We will judge what will hurt us, Z.. I mean T???

Dear Canada. We the people the good citizens of these divided states do not condone what trump is putting your country and the rest of the world through! More than 80% of us hate trump and his evil lawless deeds! We are no longer free here! We are under the thumbs of an evil dictator and his panzy the riches man in the world! They are destroying this country bit by bit and quickly! They and the republicans in congress have sided with them! I’m am saddened that you great friends and all citizens are no facing his dictatorship follies! trump is not American! He never has been! Musk worked his magic with skylink and stole the votes from the democrats! Erased millions of our votes east as pie! I respect mr trudou and we hear his plea! His sorrow and I hope he and all who read this in Canada realize that the hood American here never wanted this but we can’t stop him with the way he and our judicial system is erasing our constitution! It’s eroding daily as if it never existed!! We are truly sorry for the pain he’s putting you through! Know that the 80 percent of Americans still stand with Canada Mexico Ukraine the EU and the rest of the world he’s punishing ?

I’ve never been to Canada I’ve always wanted to go visit. I’m from CT in the USA born and raised here. I’m ashamed of our government rn we must be the laughing stock of every other nation for all the INSANE EXECUTIVE ORDERS ONE AFTER ANOTHER WITH NO REAL INTENTIONS OR PLANS THAT WILL IMPROVE ANYTHING FOR THE USA! All while “Selecting” billionaire elites into prominent positions of power & these ppl have no background knowledge or experience whatsoever for the positions that they’re being selected for!! The whole world has gotta be laughing at us in the USA because this is insanity over here now!!!

Soon as these countries don’t get the money they want from the US all of a sudden we’re enemies. The US has included grants into the budget for Canada for decades. They need to pay now

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

So what is this really about? Makes sense that elon wants the metals and minerals for himself and not for competition in e-vehicles manufactured in the US. And of course the minerals deal with Ukraine is all for elon who will be able to build while his competitors pay huge tariffs for the same materials from Canada or tariffs on vehicles from their auto plants in Mexico. Wake up America. The two devils are stealing everything from ALL of us.

Trump knows what is going on. Trump is beholden to Putin because Putin has a secret on Trump and Trump is going to do everything Putin says do. He will jump, run, kiss N. Korea's ass. Trump is going to do everything Putin says do to make sure Putin keeps Trump’s secret secret. Trump must have done something over in Russia and Putin got him on video tape. It must be a doozie, something that Trump shouldn't have been doing, and Putin's got Trump by the balls. Trump is going to jump, lie, cheat, and do tariffs (as a smokescreen) for his treachery with Putin. This is why he said we won't have to ever vote again. He's planning to pull a 'Hitler-move'! Trump and Musk are weakening America. Trump, Vance and Musk are working to make all our allies our enemies to help Putin and N. Korea be able to take over America, then Trump thinks they'll let him be our King. He's so stupid. Putin and N. Korea are crazy but they will not let Trump be King. They want America for themselves. Wake up America! Trump is selling out America! He's trying to put us into WW III, and make sure we do not have any allies, and if you don't see the writing on the wall, y'all need to go back to school. Pay attention to history. Poor, dumb-ass Republicans. They're being used.

What's weird. Is pre trump presidency. Even CNN was betrayed with maga supporters. Now? Where are they at in the comment section? How come they don't speak up now with their bullshit? We're in it now folks. And it's all of magas fault. Better forget your maga friends and don't give them any help at all during these times. THEY put us here. THEY can suffer alone. Way to go maga. You've made yourselves targets, and easy to spot targets as well with tyour diapers, ear patches and red hats. Youll never get approval from your communities for a long time, probably for your lifetime as yoive destroyed what our forefathers created. You've set us back generations. You'll never be accepted in this country again by anyone who knows you as a trumper. Might as well rid yourselves bow of this country and move to the Venezuela camos your king wants to build as you are the terrorists.

The border is a smoke screen for what Trump wants...our resources gor nothing. He says the US doesn't need anything, yet he wants, Canada, Greenland, Gaza, and is holding Aid over Ukraine's head for an unfair trade deal of resources. He wants everything his greedy little hands can grab. \n\nI am glad my government is getting more trustworthy trade partners because we should never be so reliant on trade with the US again. \n\nWe are boycotting US goods, services, and destinations. The bond will never be the same. Once you lose trust, it isn't so easy to ear it back. We can't trust Trump and who knows if the one after him will be any better.

We ran into so many people in California this past weekend, with support for us. I kept telling them, they are the ones we stand with, as they go through all of this. So many of them don’t even want to be in the US anymore.\n\n*This was not a post for people who voted for that Orange asshat. You can all get the H double hockey sticks out of here with your bullshit. Get out of Canada if you are here too. ???

Yeah, anyone who thinks Donald is in charge is living in a fantasy world. Elon and the other oligarchs are in charge, and they want to rule us all. There's a plan here. Make no mistake about that, and it doesn't involve the rest of us having rights.

Any US Citizen Who has been told to Get out of their OWN COUNTRY!! I know you don’t want to leave you love your country like us. But come on over.

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

We don't want this either!!! Please help us get rid of this monster. Or at least be aware that most of us do not want this. Americans have been lied to!!!

I’m going to say what most of us have figured out but no one wants to say out loud because we are afraid. The orange Cheeto is crazy but he will invade us for our minerals and fresh water. He will get his little friend to invade us from the North. And we will be helpless because as much as ordinary people have pledged their support, no country on the planet, including the Commonwealth, will come to our aid because the US has so much military might. We’re toast.

It’s going to be reciprocal.. so whatever you charge us , we are going to charge you … if you want lower tariffs .. appeal to your leaders to lower theirs and our will reciprocate. Have a nice day

Whip his rump for us please. Half of us did not want him. Heck go for 50 %. May I move there? Please? Or, would you be our president? Look at that rump, Trudeau is not only handsome…adorable actually…and intelligent, he can even speak French beautifully. You, rumpy, can’t even speak English.

Mr. Trudeau,\nWe Americans don’t want this either!\nWe have a nutcase at the helm due to half of the US populations (the stupid half) voting him in. \nWe don’t want any of it and we also don’t want a multi billionaire in charge!\nWe’re sorry!\nWe can’t stop him!

You people from XYZ are really like the EU hypocrites that all you got is words. As a Canadian, I hate Trudeau and everything his government has done to the country. I want a PM like Trump that is willing go against the entire system(deep state) and dig out all the dirt even though you're in the way of a lot of powerful people and organizations. Out of all the world leaders today, Trump is the only one with that kind of courage. Compare that to Trudeau—aside from his nice suits and polished public image, what has he actually done to improve the lives of Canadians? \nWe need a DOGE go into WHY WE ARE PAYING SO MUCH TAXES. When I was living in Vancouver, I (and many ppl) would just drive cross the border to get gas and groceries because it's just much cheaper once you're on US soil.... For years we cannot retain any talents because they would just migrate to the states because the pay is much higher with less taxes. I used to live in a bubble thinking that even though life is tough and it's harding to make a living here but at least it's more peaceful here than the States. That is not the case anymore and everything is getting worse in the past 10 years.

Definitely don't agree with his buddy buddy with putin that's some bullshit he's an idiot for that one. However this is how it's gonna be. We suffer from taxes and crap keeping us down. We the people want tariffs to return our country back to the funding source it once had. We don't need your shit it just costs us more to make it here. You were just our cheapy ticket. A non tariff threat is broad but best beleive it better not be no threat of violence. Well turn your Geneva convention and turn it to a whole Geneva Wikipedia.

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

I don't want to hear from somebody who does not live here. They put all of these paid actors on t v to say stuff if you guys are gonna go to war.Just go to war, leave us alone

He quit so he doesn’t represent me and my country. I can’t wait till we no longer have to listen to him. Canada is a crippled government. It doesn’t have a government the people want. The USA president is attacking us when we aren’t functioning art full strength. That’s unfair tactics.

I can't believe he is siding with Russia. I don't get why he would want to risk having Canada as a potential enemy. I'm not sure to what extent, but still. I don't know much about politics but I hope for our sake, this isn't permanent. Why do that to an ally that we have been working with together for decades? Makes no sense. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just want this to get worse for us. Almost like be wants America go in the dirwcrion of becoming a communist country more than help it. That's the thing, though. Our enemies just hope this gets worse for us. Prayers for everyone.

?Nooo!????No?????????? what is he doing to us? Don’t listen to him. He’s crazy. ????? he’s trying to start a war we don’t want war please don’t listen to him????

Let's face it, Canadian and Americans are very different and we don't want to join the US.

We don't want this either CANADA....not all of us are idiots that believe a bunch of false promises....some of us Americans know there's no winner in tariffs ...rather it's the consumers that lose most....there's better ways to earn Respect for our country

Mr. Prime Minister: We Americans do not want this trade war any more than you do. It sickens us that Trump is turning against our neighbor and close ally. You understand what is at stake far better than Trump does.
