as Ukrainian, I would say to Americans\n\n- do not quarrel with your neighbors and time-tested allies. do not threaten that you are occupying them. Because you will destroy the relationship and then it will be very difficult to restore it\n\n- do not believe and do not build relationships with Russians while this is an empire as ussr or current putin-fsb-empire - they really hate you. As long as I can remember, I have heard this from russians. \nIt seems to me that somewhere at the cellular level they have hostility towards everything Western and especially US. Russians will strike and betray you at your first weakness\n\nAnd do not believe your politicians who violate the above

The last time I purchased a vehicle it was made in Alabama . My next vehicle will be made in Ontario . Canadians will stick together . We don't have a big economy but , we don't need a big economy . The USA doesn't buy our oil , natural gas and hydro just to be polite . Everything is on the table . We will use everything at our disposal before we allow our economy to tank and roll over for Donald Trump .

Is the play that all of the Uber rich are going to buy everything in the market and then trump will lift the tariffs and the super rich including Donald all make even more money. \nAdditionally, if all the farmers lose their land, the new American oligarchs will just buy up the land.

Trump is fucking up everything he touches! Affecting our lives at every point! REMOVE HIM from office for sabotaging our country AND our lives!! I stand with you Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the European Union.

Wasn't me that voted for a maniac like tRump I stand with Canada on this even though I am one of the many thousands of Americans living paycheck to pay check and have to choose bills over food and medicine. Yeah thanks tRump for destroying everything we hold dear

As a Canadian, I may not have agreed with everything Trudeau has done in the past 9 years. However he’s handled this American threat with class and dignity and I’m proud of our response. American/Canadian relations will never be the same. After all of this is over, there is a lot of apologies and healing that has to happen before we can even start thinking about rebuilding this relationship.

DO NOT GET RID OF MY INTERNET ( starlink )!!! not unless you have a better alternative for me to have high-speed Internet. \nTrump is trying to set himself up and America so that they are truly the only superpower of the world that needs nobody and no connection to any other country and they dictate everything across the globe. \nThat I suppose is one way of trying to do things, but it’s going to alienate the United States from the majority of the world, and will bring China closer to everyone else. And most obvious is these lining everything up for a civil war

They have been putting our corporations out of business that compete with them here by giving those Canada companies subsidies so they can sell their materials cheaper than ours. It’s really crazy how people were so happy to pay more money for everything when Biden’s people manipulated us to think it was important to support Ukraine’s war and that was why prices were going up. Now, no one wants to support businesses coming to the US. \nThere are way worse things than prices going up for a few years. We do need to start chipping away at that $36trillion. We are the 1st country to not go belly up with the GDP ratio to debt as high as ours. Economists that aren’t connected to our government and top CEO’s said last year that it didn’t matter who was president, our dollar will reset and our economy will crash. So, somebody has to do something. Trump and his people has to think outside the box to stop it. Especially if interest rates don’t go down, because if we can’t pay the interest and our corporations can’t either, the crash will happen.

Americans will lose big time. Everything Trump touches disintegrates he is now doing this to the US economy. He's making Americans poorer all for his own ignorance and cruel bullying.

We cannot keep this up , everything changes with the flavour of the day, how can we put billions into projects WITH APPROVALS !! only to get them cancelled with the next flavour of the day, it,s bullying, nobody can trusts this whimsical way of going about business , especially dealing in billions of $$ , long term Canada HAS to diversify and then there won,t be the crazy discounts to oil\\ ngas and the massive profits made on refineries, so silly..

As an American I fully support Trudeau and Canada. As far as I'm concerned Canada should raise tariffs against the USA for EVERYTHING starting at 100%. The USA under Trump is now Canada's enemy, just as it is the enemy of Ukraine, Europe and the entire rest of the non-fascist world.

I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.

No one believes the fentanyl lies the American Nazis in the Whitehouse tell NO ONE!!! they should have already been dragged out and took to the gilotin CANADA is our loyal family and we have attacked our own familyand the tariffs are on US!! he has lied on Canada to steal from all of us to give more and more to the billionaires THE OLIGARDS OF AMERICA!!! the elderly of America will starve the children of America will starve and our children of America will be working the jobs the immigrants work to support their families and that is the plan it's in their 2025 plan and everyone who voted for it knew it !!! NOW only knowing they are doing everything in their power to fight this is the only way they will be shown any sympathy!!! everyone who supports these Nazis should be exposed every business from the billionaires to the hotdog stand should be boycotted the real Americans need to support each other now ! what people need now is constant information on who is helping and who is not!! and if the media is going to support the people then we must not support them !! and the commercials on media that show any support to these aggressors or works to suppresses the truth should noted and boycotted .we must boycott them all we cannot give them a penny and take any penny we can we must get our country back let's all go AMERICA NOW!!! we must save america

Someone sounds scared. Everything will be better for Canada once Tardo is gone. Hang in there nucks.

American people have to wake up, that the government is torturing them silently to make everything expensive for illegally attacking other countries from their own citizens taxpayers money.

trump is a megalomaniac and he only cares about his own personal power and increasing it, at the cost of everyone and everything else. he is acting like a russian agent.

Don’t agree with everything Trump does, just the pro life and prayers in school stuff.

say whatever you want about Trudeau, but compare his speech with Trump's. Trudeau talks professionally like an actual leader should do. Trump whines and makes everything about himself like an old idiot rude drunk grandpa.\nand if Trudeau is bad, then what the F is Trump?!

F trump messing up our country making everything go way up now

They don't care they hate us they want to kill us we're all in trouble we're scared to death they're shutting down everything or Medicaid or Medicare our food stamps everything they're going to take the middle class out within a matter of months and don't trust him a bit.

I am an American and I support Canada and Mexico for fighting back. The only way to win with this bullying regime in America is to be strong and punch back. The Felon does not understand diplomacy. Prime Minister Trudeau you are a gentleman, you have done everything possible, even allowed yourself to be humiliated by the US, and to what end? Do not bow down nor kiss the ring. Do what you have to to defend your country. Trump only understands strength, so Canada should be strong and fight back. Wish you well.

As an American citizen I’m saddened by Trumps B ignorance and diatribes I stand with Canada and the EU and any other countries who respond in kind. Trumps the Destroyer in Chief turning his back on Ukraine embracing Outin his hero, It disgusts me and makes me sick, Trump should be in jail and the Supreme Court empowers his injustices and is complicit, prices go higher Everything is Higher Day One has come and Gone.

We don’t need any of your resources. We literally can get everything in our own country. You have be taking advantage of us with your significantly High tariffs and when we ask for a more fair deal this is how you treat us.

As a canadian citizen, our prime minister has a good look & speaks well. But that's all. A lot of us are suffering up here. Everything is expensive. No jobs. More tax. More regulations. Our health care system is free, but it is impossible to see any doctors. Mega drug problem. Anyone thinks Justin T is a great leader. Please take him.

good job Justin thank you for showing the fools across the border how government should work, the orange man just likes to blame others for his mistakes he should look in his backyard cleaning up his problems but instead he has to make everything he is doing seem good its ALL about him they should have a kindergarten kid stand in for him they would do a better job of running their country

Agrees with him on everything except for fentanyl. \nAs a disabled person with a chronic illness I am 100% reliant on fentanyl which is more efficient than morphine with less side effects and I may as well kill myself now if they 'remove it from the face of the earth '. \nIt's not always used illegally but those of us who need it to survive and get by day to day are victimised every time a drug addiction uses this

Everything Felon-47 does is designed to hurt American families and boost the income of billionaires and their companies, smh...

I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

American here GO Canada do not let a Drooling Moron Push you around, it only encourages his infantile behavior..let them self destruct. I expect Europe to follow as well if he's playing around trying to Place tariff on everything.

They all want to send more things to the U.S. but many of us in the U.S. are ready to make and grow everything ourselves

Mr, Trudeau prime minister, I am glad that you are standing up to trump do what is right for your country do not allow this, man child trump push you around, stand up take a stand do what is right what is just, your people who voted for you deserve it, show the world ?? that integrity, honestly and the rule of law still matters, let the world see trump for what he is, and I say to the other leaders do not be afraid to do the right thing, a good leader loves his people a good leader protects it's people , silence ? at this point in time is not acceptable, when you see tyranny speak up i asked my father ounce what makes a man, i could see in his face that he was thinking about this question very hard and he turned and looked at me and said, a man will stand up for what he believes in,no matter the price, and a real man will always protect those that can't protect themselves, for this is the mark of a real man and gentleman, i have never forgotten those words that he spoke to me, and I believe that this saying also has religious implication as well, after everything is said and done it's not the voters that are going to judge you in the end it's god and he is going to judge you on his standards not MAGA

As an American I support everything you are doing!! I respect your countries position. As an American I will endure until Trump is forced out of office. I’m praying for our country and for your country as well as our allies that had been there for us. I’m in my seventh decade and can’t believe this is happening. Peace and prayers.

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

America First we're so tired of supporting other countries, we have everything we need here

Well said ??all the gold digger Oligarch !! Waiting to take everything they can!! Same in MEXICO o boy the star

I'm from the USA, and I stand with Canada. There are far too many ignorant Americans who have taken everything for granted. They have no idea how much we depend on our allies and partners across the globe. It's time for America to learn that we are not the mightiest, or the greatest if we stand alone.

I am from Europe. Lithuania. I will say the opinion that is dominant in my country: Ex President Joe Biden was not the sharpest knife in the drawer because he is of a respectable age, but he was a smart politician, he respected his neighbors and the all of Europe respected him. Trump destroyed everything in one month, he acts like Putin by attacking his neighbors. We are stand with Ukraine and Canada. I hope one day to visit Canada for incredible natural beauty. ( if we Lithuanians don't have to go to war with Ruzzia )

Trudope is a sally - Nobody wants this idiot running their country neither. Just like busted up Biden. PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE CLOWN - You have your own people already not able to afford much do to your own destructive policies. Fix it !! Saying your doing everything necessary but actually doing nothing and haven't since you been there.

The maga leader is a lying bully...........the maga leader made this current trade deal with Canada.....now maga baby wants to punish and destroy everything in his path!

I agree with the PM on pretty much everything - except that dRump is a smart person. His handlers are conniving/cunning - but he's a useless idiot. Just the same - the oligarchs have gotten too bold and their sycophants with them. ETR

MAN..,, you’re living in a fantasy world if you truly believe everything you said, and apparently no one you know is affected by the atrocities done not to mention national security, which protects us against all enemies! The veterans who fought for us! The seniors who worked hard for their Social Security! And the aid not only for foreign but for all Americans! Do you want Ebola to get here from Uganda? And what they’re doing to our children education and necessary, medical aid, and

Right so after years of inflation, a pandemic, ongoing wars etc. Trump decided he had to make everything worse by starting a trade war and aligning himself with a murderous dictator...what a great choice for president the world totally needed right now ?

Apple, Taiwan, Japan, and honda already invested billions of dollars to America just to avoid tariffs. Like trump said, everything will be built in US soil, from steel, cars, technology chips, etc. In addition, America is the biggest consumer in commerce. These countries need the US dollar. It's either invested in America now and built your products in America or pay the tariffs. Your choice... oh, and for eggs, the US spends $110 million (2023) in eggs from China... Good time for the american farmer to thrive, don't you think?

I am a US citizen and I am terrified about everything that is happening in this country. I am horrified that there are so many hateful and greedy people in this country that allowed this orange moron to hold office not once, but twice. I will never understand how he is being allowed to get away with the things he is doing, so many of which are illegal. Where are the US leaders who will stand up to him? He is nothing but a bratty toddler having a tantrum, determined to destroy as much as he can, as fast as he can.. How do so many people not see this?!!!

Trump knows he's hurting America. That's exactly his and Putin's goal. He's a terrorist doing everything in his power to destroy America. He's only getting away with the because of his PRIVILEGE. YT people don't understand this. Obama could NEVER get away with this. He couldn't even wear a tan suit without everybody jumping all over him. HORRIBLE NIGHTMARE. Trump needs to be fired and locked up. He's a danger to society

I'm french, And i swear I will boycott everything I may buy from USA in the next 4 years and I won't go in USA neither. Donald Trump is most shameful president I've ever seen in my life. But what is mind blowing for me is how so many people can fall for all those lies and hate maga are spreading every day. People don't want to deal with facts and reality anymore. This how a civilisation is falling. Thank you to President Trudeau for speaking the truth aloud.

Tarrifs dont work, everybody suffers, everything will be more expensive

Felon 47 is a monster and a traitor. There are no more words to describe this moron and his malevolence. To all our Canadian friends, remember that half of the US hates this disgusting man and rejects everything he stand for.

Maybe that Donald guy is just taking his revenge on America first.\nHe already stated that Canada and Mexico are to be annexed and we all agree that he's doing everything he said so far, literally. If he really moves his 100k+ troops out of Europe as he said I bet my ass that these soldiers are going straight to the U.S. borders, just like Russia did moments before invading Europe. I assume he'll stop there, anyway. Otherwise it means I'm in a coma at hospital right now, and all of this is a weird fever dream.

I am not from either country, but looking from the outside in , it seems that everything Mr Trump does, is an effort to end brotherhood among nations and just be a butthole
