Any chance the US can become the 11th province of Canada? So ashamed and embarrassed to be an American right now. So impressed with the dignity and clarity with which you spoke. In sharp contrast to the vague, sweeping and hostile lies of our “leader” every time he opens his mouth.

I'm 1000% sure that more fentanyl is trafficked into Canada from the USA, than from Canada to the USA.

very proud of how Canada is handling this. I have stopped buying US products since Trump and started buying Canadian and European and I think it will only grow as a movement. Go Canada, keep it up!

Canada ?

Trump is a horrible, horrible human. I am devastated over what he is doing. I've never once given Trump my vote and I'm not a lefty liberal. I knew if he was voted in he was going to cause world wide chaos. He has shown his character over and over and over...yet a large portion of American's just ignored it. This election wasn't about republicans or democrats or independents. This election was about humanity and global security. American's ignored the writing on the wall for their own singular wants/opinions. They stand with their Trump flags but only a few of them can actually explain any accurate information about his policy or legal issues and they condone his behavior. The majority of Trumpers claim to be 'Christians'. Christians voting for a man who is a bully, abuser, liar, predator, monger of power, impedes freedom of press and speech and aligns himself with a dictator. He pardoned violent offenders and called them patriotic, spouts false information, obstructs investigations, has numerous felony charges against him and has now made enemies with our allies. Shall I go on? That's not Christian. Even if you aren't Christian...that's not what America stands for. All for what...eggs? Guns? Cheaper groceries? Or because your need for hating a small group of people out weighs global peace. Or is it because you are so short sighted that you can't even see the valuable contribution that non American born people provide this country. Yes, Biden fell asleep at the wheel. Yet many of you still believed the better choice was a psychopath. This election was important. We failed as a country by putting this man in office. No matter what party you align with, we failed. Yes, I want cheaper eggs. Yes, I really need cheaper groceries. But not over the safety of the globe. Not over the lives of the people and children being killed in an unprovoked war. Not over the safety of Europe. Not over ripping off our closest and favorite country that borders us. Not over losing our democracy and our allies. I stand with Ukraine, Canada, Mexico and Europe and the Gulf of Mexico. You should ask yourself what you really stand for.

Trudeau is an idiot and has destroyed our country. He's no longer Prime Minister. He resigned finally. He knows he's not wanted in this country. He refuses to leave office. Anything he says now is worthless. Anything he's ever said has only done damage to Canada.

Funny how Trump starts wars and removes any assistance Americans need from federal government… and here’s Trudeau, defending his country and beefing up federal aid to citizens who will need it. Trump is a Kkkuck. 100% for Canada

All of you in the comments siding with Canada...ever consider moving there?

Way to go Canada Trump deserves that and I’m willing to see Trump look like the true idiot he is! Voters made the mistake of putting the Orange Turd in office. My taxes should go to Ukraine a country who didn’t ask for more hardship and for millionaires to pay just $720 in 2023 taxes I don’t want to support a fool.

Bravo Canada.

Canada joining the EU will be amazing. ??

I grew up 30 min from the Canadian border. Canada has always been a neighbor and a friend. I cannot believe what has happened to our government and I did not vote for this. The majority of America does not want this and do not want Trump. Please know that.

As an American im with you Canada

ANNEX CANADA . 51st state!!

Great for the domestic politics in US, Trump and his rude and impolite VP, Vance, are disastrous for our foreign relations and politics. Being nasty to our siblings in Canada?!?!? Come on, real estate man: wise up before it is too late

Let's go canada!

Donald Trump is an idiot. The only reason he is pissed at Canada is that both his daughter and his wife wanted to sleep with our PM. Thankfully he turned them both down. The US is turning into a pathetic isolationist country. Good luck to you as you align with Russia. Idiots!

Trump is attempting to offset his tax cuts by implementing a tax that isn't called a tax. All of the money from the tariffs goes to the government. Trump has mentioned when tariffs were common as supporting what he is doing, but he doesn't add that at that time, there wasn't an income tax, so tariffs were how the government supported itself. Trump, knowing that tariffs are income for the government, is lying to his base so they will accept the increased prices as a necessary evil to battle the bad countries of Mexico and Canada. It will look like his tax breaks aren't hurting as much as they are and price increases will be the fault of the other countries.\n\nTrump is a conniving grifter with no knowledge of how to run a country's economy or international trade. He is gaslighting the American public to cover his own shortcomings.\n\nAlso, if fentanyl is entering the US, why is it the fault of the other countries? It is the job of the US to stop anything on its side of the border. Canada and Mexico do what they can to catch the drugs while inside their respective countries. The tons of cocaine and guns that enter Canada and Mexico from the US are caught by their border services; they don't blame the US for the products getting past their own border agents, and the US takes no responsibility for it making it across the border. Why is it other countries' fault for drugs getting past the US's border agents, but not the fault of the US that guns and drugs are going in the other direction? That is why countries work together, not fight over whose fault it is and try to punish each other.

“Need Canada”? We need Canada? I think they need us more then they need us

Canada is toothless tiger of ? world

I’m an American and I support Canada, Ukraine and NATO. Trump is a Russian asset.

Reassuring to see so many country leaders talk so professionally in the wake of the Clown leader of the Circus in the US, have so much respect for Trudeau and the people of Canada, I feel so sorry for the American people your leader is an embarrassment to you and the world, regards from Down Under??

Trudeau you are a weak lying snake bending truth to your victim narrative. Trump put you on notice regarding tariffs and here we are. Do you think he is not a man of his word? Well you have now experienced that this is in fact the case first hand. You have taken from America with very little in return and these are the consequences of your woke agenda for Canada. Look at you spouting venom, dischord and anarchy from your pulpit. Trump is interested in econmic revival for America and if you are not on board you will fall by the wayside. Only smart leaders realise throwing insults at Trump will only weaken your countries position. Surely you realise Trump is one of the most persecuted people on the planet, unjustly so, and your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears in the whitehouse. They've heard all the nonsense before. But, continue throwing the insults, chuck your toys out the pram, if it makes you feel like a grownup. I don't fancy your chances though.

Why didn’t Canada implement theses protections from Fentanyl before the US initiated Tarrifs

Trudeau and Anwar Ibrahim are best friend, hope to see more Canada-Malaysia thriving in economy

BRAVO to Canada, Justin Trudeau is a real LEADER!! Unlike the mad, bloated Orange POS and his sychophantsl who have dragged my Country back into 1930's Germany

I am American and I stand with Donald Trump. Canada needs to shut their borders down with the fentanyl. It's killing all our people they buy. What they want and they charge us a fortune. They don't do nothing for America. Canada, does everyone should do for America? As Americans stand up for the USA thank you.

Murderer? How many people died for USA to be established, Canada, Australia, Hawaii, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. I can go on and on. Let's be honest with ourselves

I support Canada ?? My family goes back to 1630 in Prince William County. Oh I’m white with blue eyes.

The world respects you Canada

American from Wisconsin. Standing in support of Canada. This country is going down the tubes fast! I hope that all Americans will take time to listen to your speech before listening to the BS that we will get from Trump tonight.......

Great talker….speaks from the heart….UK Prime Minister speaks from his arse.All the best Canada from the UK ??

I don’t stand with anyone except the UNITED STATES Of AMERICA! But I want to make something very clear. We just went through 4 years of absolute hell with The Biden administration!! No way around it. And the democrats will do anything to make trump look bad no matter if it hurts our country or not. They simply hate the fact that the checks and the cross dressing and what ever nasty crap they spent our money on . They won’t talk about that! But what I want to know is why we aren’t saying ok Canada we spend trillions militarily protecting you. And the won’t even come up to the 2% on defense they lied about participating in. Why should we pay for everything then they want to tax us?? Should America not get something for protection of a country?? Why do we need to pay there bills? Why should we pay for a war we’re not in? Ukrainian war Americans pay?? No! Canada dosent defend themselves Americans pay?? Then when we tax them like they tax us they want to slap a gift horse in the mouth??

He's in it for the Long Haul oh that's right he stepped down he's going to blow a whole bunch of smoke up Canada's ass and then he's going to walk away from all this

Can we apply as refugees to Canada yet?

We’re sorry Canada some people voted for an idiot for a president and we’re all paying for it.

Trump was very happy to stand on the podium and announce disinfectant to kill Covid that you could swallow or inject… idiot\n\nThat was Canadian ?? Disinfectant.\n\nTrump was happy to prevent that disinfectant from being exported around the world leaving other countries to suffer. \n\nHe has forgotten so quickly how grateful he was to Canada ?? back then. \n\nI’m from overseas and it’s frightening watching him try to control the world

As a United States ?? citizen living in Canada ?? “I’m proud of you ?? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau!

Maybe if Trudeau didn’t assist illegals (and fentanyl) flowing into our country we wouldn’t put tariffs on Canada. MAGA

Do what y’all have to do Canada we need help ?

Trump gave earlier the real reason why he started this trade war: he wants Canada to become the 51st state of the USA. He also wants Greenland so he can secure the Northern passage.\nCanada is a country of the British Commonwealth, and it is interesting that Trudeau met with King Charles last week. Oddly enough, the British Prime Minister dodged questions from White House reporters on this topic.\nNow about the G7 forthcoming summit: Trump is a convicted felon and may not attend without the permission of the host country, which this year happens to be Canada!

As Americans, we want to work with you and be friends with you too, Canada!

But Trump promised you a golden era he didnt say for who....apparently for the working middle class- .its looking less shiny for you, ?? Things are going to cost more for all.of us, well- now in Canada our eggs are now cheaper as we have to shop by bus! The Bourbon is off the shelves, and I maybe need to make a new list for help from Santas elves; His billionaire pals, tho will be entering that new golden age, and chumming with Putin to try and appease any Russian rage ! The Donald has acted and now we all pay, the skies today in North America all grey.

Whatever you think of Trudeau, that was a brilliant speech. Not a rambling rant like comrade dump. Go Canada Go

This is not going to hurt America. Trudeau is a loser. Didn't he resign? This will cripple Canada's economy, it will not effect the US. You think Canada is in a good place now?... Your crazy. Canada f'd around and now they are going to find out.

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.

Also if Canada is already dealing with the drug issues why are we doing this tariff with them

Australia stands proudly with Canada we are so very proud of you all . TRUMP YOU ARE DISGRACEFUL

What liberals don’t know is this is a way to get Canada to the negotiating table along with other countries. It works ????

I hope Canada wins.\n-A lifelong Texan
