This man from Canada is a DNC talking point. Period. He’s pathetic

Screw Canada and Mexico! Putin makes for a better friend anyhow ?

As someone who has been leaning conservative this election I fully support this decision. This not about policy and social differences. This is about standing up to a much more powerful nation that is headed by a madman. This is an act of war. We need Poilievre to stand up on behalf of the conservative party and declare their support on this matter. The only way we mitigate the blow during this economic crisis is through a unified Canada.

Impeach Trump! We love you Canada!

As an American, I'm with Canada and Ukraine. Trump does not speak for all of us.

I find it particularly effective that Canada is focusing on red state America. Kentucky alcohol is just one example. Prime Minister Trudeau is also targeting those issues that they can most effectively respond, like electricity in the norther tier, LNG (shifting to EU). Trump is screwing over our closest and greatest allies, in deference to Putin, a war criminal.

Everyone saying you stand with Canada, please. Move there. Go be Canadian ?

In conclusion:\n- Trump closes the debt to GDP gap letting the people pay tarrifs \n- Buy cheap earth minerals in Ukraine instead of Canada \n\nUncle Sam loves Uncle Sam

Govenor Trudeau lol. Yall should move to Canada and find out how ya like it. Dont talk smack, step up and head north if they so great.

I'm an American. I did NOT vote for that Orange thing! Canada looking better and better. Europe. Anywhere but Trumpland.

CNN I guess y'all like that cuz I don't like Trump so y'all ride with Canada

From Europe we are with Canada, ???????????

As a Canadian, I am not giving this man a pass. Canada is destroyed, thanks in a large part to his leadership! The middle class cannot afford basic living, our medical system is destroyed, and we literally have no military. He is a good speaker; unfortunately that is the extent of his abilities

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

“Speaking harshly”???—He didn’t advocate for any person or group’s death or curse or make any personal attacks even ???? Canada, would you please consider lowering your visa requirements please omg ?????

Trumps playing the first set of cards in the pursuit of buying Canada and Mexico.....! Bravo

I am a US born citizen. I did NOT vote for Trump. I stand with Canada. ??

while canada doesnt want to be 51 state, there’s Taiwan licking Trump and giving them 100billion USD in chip investment in Arizona, Trump’s happy right now

This’s how a prime minister speak we stand with out prime minister and the other ministers we stand together as one for Canada ??

HOLD UP DONT THEY HAVE TARIFFS ON US ALREADY, TRUMPS IS ONLY DOING WHAT NO OTHER LEADER WOULDNT AS LONG AS THEY WERE GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF! TRUMP DONT NEED ANYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICA BC HE PUTS US FIRST, HES TIRED OF US BEING DONE SHITTY AND THEN THEY WANNA GET UPSET WHEN HE PUTS ON THEM! CANADA TRUDEAU IS NOT VERY SMART, YALL NEED SOMEONE WHO PUTS HIS PPL FIRST BC HE ALREADY HAD 10% OF TARIFFS ON AMERICA AND THE OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL SO HES TRYING TO GET PPL HERE TO BUILD OUR OWN FACTORIES OR THEY CAN COME WITH THERE BUSINESS AND ITS A WIN WIN BUT I UNDERSTAND Y TRUMP IS DOING THIS 100%

He actually thinks we need Canada ?

We know president Chump is a very stupid person and his best friend muck or lying and stealing our money and do all there doing for the millionaires and they don’t care how where are doing. So Canada and Mexico do what you have to do and maybe we can throw him out of office. Best wishes

Sounds like all those Canadian tariffs will force industries back into the United States. Americans will definitely feel short term pain but I would imagine that long term, Canada will be the ones who suffer. ?

So there's fentanyl in Canada, any arrested or caught?

Can I move to Canada? I want to live in a country with a government that acutally works.

I stand with Canada & with Mexico. Trump needs to be impeached as do all of the rest of his circus. Musk needs to be deported. Thank you PM Trudeau for having the strength & courage to not back down from this shit show we have in our administration.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, for your steadfast leadership in these challenging times. Your clear and decisive response to the unjustified U.S. tariffs demonstrates a commitment to protecting Canadian interests and upholding the integrity of your nation's economy. \n\nIt's reassuring to witness a leader who can speak sense and stand firm against unwarranted actions. \n\nYour dedication to maintaining strong international relationships while addressing internal challenges reflects true statesmanship. Canada is fortunate to have such principled guidance as we navigate these complexities together.​ #IStandWithCanada

Trump can’t gaslight anymore. Trudeau just stated the facts. Why are we appeasing the enemy and hurting our friend and neighbor, Canada? Trump is mentally ill. He’s a malignant narcissist and sociopath.

I support Canada even if I am an American! I would love to get a list of Canadian products that I can purchase!

?? Canada you F around you find out. You support that cook head Zelensky ????

canada just good in talking ..70% of us money goes to canada..without u.s canada will not survive..trump is right..

Canada and Trudeau Choke on American _ _ _ _

From the UK, standing with Canada. (And I really hope you put a 100% tariff on Tesla products.). Great, clear speech with coherent sentences and no hyperbole. Great speech. And if Canada is willing to do this, what will China do?

Canada doesn't sell fent. They just sell EVERY ingredient to make it from China, play that crap somewhere else I see you!!!

From Romania here: \nwhat a clean and honest speech! Respect for Canada!\nMr. Trump, It is miserable to ally with a criminal. Shame on you! USA is not your company, it's the free world!

He read the US governmènt for filth. He is so right. WTH with tariffs with Canada. It doesn't make sebse. Our government is acting arrogantly and condescendingly by continuing to call Trudeau 'governor' and refer to them as the 51st state.

Im so sick of this clown… i thought you resigned? Its not ok to tariff “our closest friend?”\nYet canada is ripping us off by billions in trade and has zero control of their border? Is that how friends and allies act!!! The us isnt in desperate need of you canada

You were only wrong when you said he was a very smart man. From those of us who did NOT choose Trump, Love to Canada.

I am American but 100% I am with you Canada!!

I am with you Canada. And very sorry our country voted this into our government. Can I come live with you all? Much respect for the Canadians. And I hope someday all this will change.

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!!

I guess siding with the bully as he was messing with many counties all these years is now hitting back to both EU and Canada. Very brave speech, though. Unfortunately, international affairs are driven by economic and military power, not by intellectual capacity.

100% TARRIFS ON TESLA WILL STOP MUSK'S SALES IN CANADA ALL THE TESLAS SITTING IN CANADA GATHERING DUST AND NOW MUSK WILL HAVE TO SHIP THEM BACK TO THE U S A AT HIS EXPENSE AND STORE THEM OR HAVE A BLOWOUT SALE BECAUSE OF OVER STOCK!!!!!! THIS WILL REALLY PUT A BIG DENT IN TESLA'S PROJECTED PROFITS!!!!! TRUMP IS FINE WITH MUSK WEARING A TSHIRT IN THE WHITEHOUSE WITH A BUNCH OF BIG WHITE BOLD LETTERS BUT HAS A PROBLEM WITH ZELENSKY WEARING A WELL FITTED CLEAN OUTFIT TRUMP REALLY THINKS HE'S A GOD BUT IS REALLY AN EVOLVING DICTATOR HAND IN HAND WITH PUTIN WHO OFFICIALLY IS ALREADY A DICTATOR!!!!!!!

USA canada relation was condemned to malediction because canada has supported USA wars and massacres around the world...now cry baby cry.

There are a lot of people here in America that absolutely can't stand Trump. That didn't vote for him and wish that what is going on in America is just a nightmare. \nPeople are protesting , wishing more politicians would stand up to Trump and the government he is creating. \nHow can people be so blind to his ways. I don't hold Canada or any other nation raising the tariffs. Im beside myself on the way my country is going.

Hail, Canada!?

Canada ??? We will fight against the h00dlooms in the WH and his minions. An inspiring speech which is the extreme opposite of that ? ?‍?. This is how to address those people without being antagonistic. Canadians are indeed good polite people and can never be disparaged.

Oh no! We can't survive without Canada! Eh!

This is how a President is SUPPOSED to act. PRESIDENTIAL. I am embarrassed to be an American during these times and think our entire administration is despicable. We will be visiting Canada in our RV on our way to Alaska, and I hope you don't hate us just because we're American!

Go Canada
