Proud of you Canada! US is now officially Russian state! After 3 years of brutal war Putin is un successful to occupy the whole Ukraine, and still Ukrainians are fighting hard even with losses, but US on the other hand become a Russian state in just 3 weeks! the most powerful military and country in the world become a puppet of a Dictator! without firing a single bullet!!! Trump is the most Idiot person who ever lived, and those who support him are most than morons!

Awesome! There were NO making faces, bullying, yelling, or temper tantrums. NO pointing fingers around the room, NO lip or mouth contortions, NO squinting or snake eyes at people. This is someone in control and a secure, mature, intelligent leader. PM Trudeau did us all proud. THANK YOU. MERC!

Time to buy Non US Products!

Canada, I am standing with you from NC. Your leader and government are responding in an appropriate manner. trump and vance have brought shame to the US. All the lives that our country has lost in wars were not sacrificed to come to this moment.

I’m a us citizen and I’m urging my president to not impose any tariff to Canada because we both countries are a very good friends and neighbors.Canada is always in support of us and vice versa so please Mr.trump stop your tariffs to Canada.please do not break relations with Canada and Europe.thank you.

Mr. Trudeau you are wrong about Donald Trump, he is the biggest fraud that has ever been President of this country! Please don't blame all of us for this moron who had an election bought for him by a Nazi, Elon Musk! Hopefully the two clowns, Trump and Vance meet their end before our country is destroyed1 They are both traitors to Democracy and deserve the fait of Traitors!

Please help us, Justin. We are under seize by thugs who are conducting a COUP ON THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND ITS PEOPLE. ????

President Trudeau, thank you for speaking directly to us. There are many Americans who disagree with him and his administration. We are doing our parts here. \n\nPresident Trump and his MAGA Republicans who sold their souls to aligned with a dictator. \n\nAs for the MAGA supporters, gee thanks.

Boycott all US affiliated companies and products here in Canada friends!

Many Americans still consider Canadian our friendly neighbor. Many of us did not vote for that demented psycho conman felon. Do what needs to be done including turning off the power at the White House. We can only wait it out until our next election for senators and congress. MANY republicans are already furious and will vote blue.

Why is this guy trying to make people afraid? Sounds like he is the one who is worried. Id rather have Chip production here in the US than his assurance.

your farms need the 80% of the pot ash they import they are really going to feel it soon. they wont plant the seed if they cant fertilize properly then theres 60% crude oil imports at 10$ a barrel, not anymore and 30% soft lumber. thats just the tip ? for those that are cheering this on still enjoy, trump gave us 30 days and we used that time to sign new deals without you. mexico's president was right 7.5 billion people on this planet outside of the u.s.a. we dont need you we can just go on trading and doing business with each other and move forward without you. BUILD THE WALL BUILD THE WALL, and hurry up about it will ya

I’m glad to hear Trudeau say Canada is worth fighting for. Prior to the recent US election he’s been beating the DEI and down with the evil west drum for the last decade. What specific Canadian/western values in your opinion are worth fighting for Trudeau?

Canada already had high tariff's on us and Canada knows they can't win this trade war. Should have worked better helping with the border, Trudeau lies out his ass constantly. His own people have called him out for his corruption.

Really over 50 percent vote for this. It would be funny if It's not so sad in the same time. For now, it will work for the USA, but the boomerang will fly back. Your Partner realize now finally that the US is not trustful anymore. They need a bit of time to prepare but if it's done, America is isolated (ok Russia and North Korea will still like you). The world continue rotating, with or without the USA. But maybe It's what the American wants so it's fine. But Trump's territorial claims are a shame. Regards from Germany.

World Trade War any country with trade deficit even surplus getting tarrifs on US industries ..

As a Canadian this goof doesn't speak for all of us.

As a Canadian, I am truly grateful so many of our friends next door stand with us. Thanks guys.

As a Canadian and not a fan of Trudeau I have to say he's earned respect as a leader.\nNot like the trumpy pile of ? south of us

A true leader, lucky us stuck with traitor trump and vomit vance.

Way to go, Mr. Trudeau.\nQuickly reorganise your fertiliser sales to Europe, Australia, UK etc.\nIf you stop selling fertiliser to the US the people will soon go hungry, hungry people will soon revolt against donald.

Help us. Blue state here.

All you had to do was step up your border security.\n That was it.\n We already produce everything you export to us.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump is just putting the same tariffs on them that they already put on us.\nStop those drugs from coming across

Canadian’s can’t live month to month with the Sword of Damocles over our heads. I am glad we didn’t capitulate this month. These tariffs may hurt Canada more than the US but we are clearly far too dependent on the US and will benefit more from the tariffs in the long run (by reducing our dependency).

Senators the people demand you to return to your states and give us an explanation of 5 things you did last week

Dude, our government sucks.Trump is an idiot. Elon Musk should go to Mars and stay there. It is not all of us who want this. It is a very few greedy people in charge.

Thats not us. That’s that orange glob in the White House and his MAGGATS in Congress that do not represent our best interests. We are working to get their spineless behinds out there!

Let's wait for a US-Russia, or should I rather say White House-Russia free trade deal. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

It's gonna be much worse for americans then us canadians. no one wants to trade with you now. donny better figure out how to grow money on the trees at his mar a lago golf course otherwise you won't have any and americans are going to starve

I just just don't understand what these blanket tariffs achieve for Americans. Firstly, employment in the US is at an all time high, if the aim is to bring back primary and manufacturing industries then it's just a myth. It's just pointless and mindless. Nobody wants to go back to working in heavy industry, people want high paying, highly specialized industries, this doesn't create that, it just makes cost of living higher so wages have to go up and cost of bringing in raw materials goes up, all things that discourage start up companies that employ well educated and skilled Americans

Trump is compromised. Period. He's doing Putin's bidding, 100%. This is an incredible moment in history. America has been infiltrated by it's arch enemy in the biggest way. God help us.

We are a small country population wise here in Canada but we are rich. We will endure this but it is gonna hurt. Hard to increase our military spending as asked by The Donald when he is slapping tariffs on us.

The world should unite and ignore the US.

Trump scare to bully Putin. He only bully all US Allie’s

Trump doesn’t even grasp the fact that tariffs are paid by the companies importing goods into the US and passed on to consumers - he seems to think that the tariffs are paid by the exporting country. Some businessman!

Trudeau isn't dumb in stating this bluntly to 'Donald'. Trump needs to get the message (esp. by mass protest from his hopefully former American voters/supporters) just how dumb these US tariffs really are - how they'll cause inflation and stock market collapse the world over. And Trump's aligning himself with the US's manipulative, deceitful enemy Russia is because Trump has been laundering Russian Oligarch's money for decades (from forced prostitution and enslavement, drugs, and small arms sales to terrorists) to finance his real estate empire, ever since his 6 bankruptcies made him a bad risk for US lenders.

Thank you for defending us Justin. ???

Americans dont want this either....we do not understand why NO one in office will help us. TRUMP IS A DICTATOR

Lady, this is gonna hurt the US worse than Canada...we will find new trade partners...NO ONE but Russia wants anything to do with your country now

Sad day for both sides. this incompetent man being in the office 30 days he’s creating all this chaos. He doesn’t know how to work with diplomacy and work with people who know what they are doing. Clearly he doesn’t & this is how a leader of country speaks. Lord help us what’s next, every day is some new disaster.

Like us Americans have been doing for the past 10 years it’s time to pay to play we’re done.

N what you mean y'all Canadian dnt want to hurt us the United States citizens really are y'all threaten us

Wait...Canada charge US tariffs on goods so why can we(US) charge you back. Stop complaining!

Trump no Canadian B.S. Americans want results. Call us when you have some!

Ohhh y'all Canadian Trudeau want to work with us ..ok then help the USA from having Cartel's from crossing fentanyl n trafficking from your country to our country from the border. You can do that right now then Trump will take off the tariffs on you

Someone rescue us from this tyrant! He has too many idiots fooled here. I can't handle Canadian winters but I so wish I could move there. Pray for the USA.

I tariff you, you tariff me. So what's the problem???\nIf the US is hurting ourselves as you said, how is that your concern?

Now I don't want to dampen the positive comments being direct to us Canadians which we all appreciate. However, I don't want people to forget that this individual talks about making things affordable for their citizens. There is a reason he has resigned. Don't forget that our country unreasonably fights itself on sooooo many things that make items in Canada so much more expensive than they need to be. I was hopeful our own government would make living more afforable for all Canadians by putting a freeze on things such as the Carbon Tax....guess that wasn't in the cards!? Together I hope that intelligence and common decency prevails.

Lord help us
