To call that orange-faced parasite 'smart' is beyond laughable! It's hysterical!! He's the dumbest person in the room to be doing what he's doing!! Bullies aren't smart! That's why they bully!! The only thing drumpf is good at is bullying!! Canada doesn't back down from bullies!! We stand up to them!! If they want to fight dirty, we'll fight dirtier!! We don't like wars of any kind, but if we're pushed, WE WILL FIGHT BACK!!! What I find the saddest of all is that it's all us little guys on both sides of the border that are paying the price because of a narcissistic misogynistic megalomaniacal who's done nothing but spread hate and chaos everywhere he goes and his rich oligarchs who care more about money than they do about the workers who's labour helped make them rich!! If it wasn't for the little guy, they'd have NOTHING!! \n?? TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE!!\n? FOREVER!!

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!

My friends would not have it where I paid them $5000 and they paid me $1000\n\nI don't even want to hear your lies Trudeau. You are calling Americans stupid right to their face. \n \nBecause only somebody really stupid would agree that America paying Canada three times more than Canada pays America is honest or the way it should be.

As an American I'm 60 yrs old. And I totally agree With Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau 1000%. I never wanted Trump. And let's make this clear by all means. To those that voted for his dumb ass I hope u you got what you wanted. HE DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP BOUT AMERICA ONLY PUTIN WHO WITH TRUMP BEING THE ULTIMATE ASS KISSER TO HIM TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. GOD HELP US ALL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY. TRUMP IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

Trump wants Canada's natural resources. He is going to, sooner or later, invade Cananda. He's made a deal with Russia and China to takeover the world. Canadians and the world need to prepare for war. Trump is the antichrist.

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.

what a time to be alive. USA wants to be alone, let them do that. I know Trudeau is hated in Canada, but god damn is he 100x a leader than what Dumb is supposed to be

Trump wants Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. Remember that he said that Putin's invasion of Ukraine was a genius act. He's a bully. Don't back down.

Can you not see it? Donald Grump wants this. His next move is to ask the military to invade Canada and Mexico. And Grump will tell lies again to the American people why he is doing it. And dumb Americans will believe it. \nHe told Zelensky about WWIII? Grump is the one who’s starting it. And why is that? Simple, Grump and Putin are BFF’s that wants to rule the whole world. \nSane Americans should start a revolution and kick Grump and his cronies out of the office and jail them all in Quantico.

Several generation American here. I do not want this. I stand with Canada! Not Russia, not Trump, not the DC freak show. Thank you Mr Trudeau

I am an American and I am horrified with what is happening. We don't want this. God Bless Canada and Justin Trudeau.

We have no Govt. Trump is dealing with a loser that has already resigned. We have had no GOVT since early December in Canada, because Trudeau put the Liberals before Canadians. Majority of our country doesnt want that fucking loser leading us in this mess, his words are WORTHLESS.

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.

Good, pull all America crap off your shelf Canada. I don't care about burbon or whiskey because I don't drink liquor anyway. Who cares if they lay off some burbon and whiskey employees. America voted and wanted this, so here you go.?

As an American, I can appreciate Canada's response to the felon president. We want Trump, Miller, MAGA politicians and Elon out. They are bullies and Putin's puppets.

As American I want Canada to turn off the power because the U.S needs to learn a lesson

I commend Canada...I want to move there if I could.

As a 72 year old American veteran that doesn’t want to bare the pain of a trade war…\nBut I stand with Canada.\nDon’t back down from tRump!\nSAVA CANADA❣️

Putin achieved what he wanted,to divide the EEUU from Europe and Canada not to mention Mexico. And terminate OTAN…

everyone wants our money and gets angry when they dont get it, WE ARE IN DEBT. we are trying to solve the debt and not just continually give aid to be people that dont need it. Work for your own country and help your own country thrive, be independant like the canada you want to be. stop being a leech.

This is not what the people of America want! We want a great relationship with Canada! ?

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.

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

Pretty obvious.... give russia ukraine and let the u.s .have Canada... bullies want the world.

As a American I can’t be move proud and happier with my vote!! American is so back let’s go trump!!! Canada don’t want this smoke we’ll come take your land off you

Canada, please know that Americans do not want a trade war with our friends and cousins in Canada, Mexico or Europe. This is trump’s trade war, not the American people’s. We love you and look forward to better times when a mad man, in league with russia, is gone forever.

And this is why Canada wants to vote out this clown lol

Lmao. Please Canada dont do it.... No you dont want this, you want a WAR. Ok. Lets go. Send your total 100k troops to defend your funny country... How about Canada spend at least 2% for nato, O wait you cant. Funny

Trump is a bully and thinks like a child without thinking of the consequences. He’s been getting his way for years and running around bullying others. I really hope Canada Mexico whoever trump wants to bully stand on business and does the same. Unfortunately we Americans will be caught in the crossfire but it has to be done.

I'm american and no I didn't vote for this big bumbling bafoon. He isn't a leader of anything but what he wants. I stand firmly with Canada & ukraine. I truly believe God is with us.❤❤❤

As an American I feel shame and embarrassment. Where I'm from, you love, respect, and honor your neighbors. You treat them as you want to be treated. Canada is our ally. Mexico is our ally.

Many Americans don't want this trade war and this bad relationships with Canada and many other allies. Our government is hijacked by a coup led by Trump and Musk!

Give Canada what they want! They may seem nice but a darkness lurks underneath!

There ARE winners in a trade war. Many Americans want literally nothing to do with Canada after the booing of our national anthem. Not our President, but our anthem. Some will never forgive. We will endure without Canada, say hi to Xi for us.

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Trump is a bully. He knows that Canada is vulnerable. Trump wants the Auto industry in Canada moved to the U.S.. This will increase the cost of vehicles in the U.S. Trump does not care. If he can harm Canada he will be pleased. He wants to control Canada.. Canada is guilty of not arranging an alternative to the Keystone pipeline. The U.S. refineries need the Canadian heavy oil. If Canada had created pipelines to Vancouver they would be in a better position but as it is Trump wins.

I am eastern German and wanted to go on vacation to Pennsylvania, had already booked. which I will now cancel and rather go to CANADA and spend my nice EUROS there. Thanks Trump for that one love Canada

Great message Trudeau! We in Europe stand with Canada! If the bully wants to cut ties with his allies, let him. Hope we can do lots of business together and help eachother!

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

Trump only did this cause he wanted Canada to become his beloved 51 state, and Canada denied. Canadians are the best, f@ck Trump. All support from Denmark ?? ❤

the one that destroyed Canada wants to give advices to Trump... nice joke CNN

Myself a humble, quiet, soft spoken overly apologetic Canadian from Alberta will explain to the Orange clown loving Americans what just happened. (just in case the sudden politeness/professionalism was a cerebral barrier) ..My boss gave your boss the middle finger and had a talkie talk to him like you would a child or someone with severe mental disabilities... and, btw.... Canada welcomes Maine, Washington state and Oregon as our new provinces if they want or need to defect. No questions or security check involved.. all good ..we get it! come on up! Free Tim Horton's coffee on me!!

Looking in from the UK Trump has just gone 100% rogue for the west and 100% for Russia. By splitting USA V Canada V Mexico trade which he signed of in his first term he has now supplied Russia with the split they wanted. USA power has always been the number of allies it has around the world now it is splitting from them and joining Putin which makes Putin very happy. America is weaker and that is just dandy for Russia China Iran and North Korea President Che will be moving forward with his plan to attack Taiwan and then watch America as it has no computer chips for all the industries tied to super computers cars planes ect.

UK citizen here. Stay strong, Canada. I have always wanted to visit Canada. Even though i have relatives in Alabama, I won't be wasting my money going there again and will be visiting your beautiful country

You can say whatever you want when Canada made money from trade deficits with the US of over 60 billion a year.

Mr. Trump and his team have no intention of doing business with Ukraine, Canada, European Community, England, G7, NATO all.\nCanada has been scorned by Trump, who wants to make Canada the 51st state. Now, Ukraine has been scorned by Trump, ridiculed by the Trump team, etc.

You follow the money trail of China and Canadian dealings ,an investigative journalist did and found precursor supplies to make fentanyl heavily coming into Canada from China, being assembled in Canada, then shipped to mexico drug cartels from Canada, then entering US across mexican US border....so how is Canada not to blame when RCMP know of drug labs in Canada and turn blind eye as do the politicians, and meanwhile China launders the drug money through real estate and casinos. No one wants to address the elephant in the room. Life is easier while Blind, till it isn't!

Lol Canada is a lazy neighbor who always wants to borrow sugar, but never pays us back

Reporters keep saying that the deterioration of U.S. and Canada relationship is exactly what their adversaries want…. But they are getting this wrong. Trump and Putin are NOT adversaries! They are alleis! \nTrump is planning to do to his neighbors exactly what Putin is doing to Ukraine. The USA is now a dictatorship just like Russia.

The really sick thing is that it was trump who signed the Free Trade Agreement himself in his first term! This is part of trumps project 2025, put the Canadian economy in shambles to make it easier to ‘annex’, he has a God complex, he will even ruin his own economy so he can fix it before the mid-term election, so he will be a hero! He is a vindictive person who will not honour what he agrees to, he throws out accusations and insults with a sneer and wants to be Putins friend! So many Americans are horrified by their Governor trump! He wants a military base on the Northwest Passage, that is why he wants Canada!
