Canadians, don't want it, you want that tray war because top your news Trudeau. In Ukraine, we're raping us Canadians. What do carbon tax instead? You should work with Trump and tried to make deals. Didn't you go behind his back and pop your nose? Enter Ukraine and then called Putin. Bad Putin isn't bad. I think who is bad is Trudel. That is a dictator and we know that because his dad was El. Truro. You self are a dictator also, because when you would work with Canadians and leave your news out of Ukraine, then work with Trump. We wouldn't have this, but Trump sees you pop your news into Ukraine. Will your news not belong? That's why Trump? It's punishing us the soul. You stop you gonna poke your nose in Ukraine? You gonna pay for it, are we Canadians? Gonna pay for that.

As an AMERICAN here, I want all of our neighbors to know we love you all but it is time we stop being the most visited, sold to, ridiculed, laughed at, and highest debt country in the world. What everyone forgets is that the us was the leading exporter in the world just a century ago. No one wants to destroy another country. Of course there’s other ways to handle this but even if there was a different way none AMERICANS would still be upset. It’s ok for us to get destroyed and everyone else to prosper

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

Prime Minister, many, nay most of us, don't want this either. Thank you.

Make That Make Sense?? Boom\nHelp Us Canada ?? This is Not My President not Even Close to an Administration…We ❤️??!! Go Red Wings??I don’t want this either????????further I’m in Detroit there is NO fentanyl!! That’s old news…Kudos Trudeau?

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

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

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.

As an American I'm rooting for Canada. My job relies on Canadian imports. I don't want to lose my job but I want Canada to not give in to us.

If you really want to confront the US government with what they are heading for, make clear that Alaska has been bought from the Russians. At what price would you give it back?

I'm a US Military Veteran; they've ripped up 10 million contracts we had with our government for our medical, we support you 100% and we do not blame you for wanting to fight the Russians in the White House.

He’s not polite, he is arrogant, narcissistic and a corrupt little weasel who has done untold damage to Canada. Now he wants to be captain Canada and save us. Cheap political performance.

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.

He is also threatening to put tariffs on us Aussies...Meanwhile he wants to lift sanctions on Russia?

Wouldn't it be nice if our president would be a president instead of a dictator and hurting the american people and help us grow instead of breaking us down and making it worse for us. He don't want minerals from Canada but he just tried to make a deal with Ukraine for minerals from them, it does not make sense when Canada was one of our best allies for the United States

As an American I heavily support Trump and America. Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. He is speaking like he has some power in this situation. He is saying that he doesn't want to see us hurt ???. Good luck Canada you are a bunch of softies.

Trump launched the trade war that very few people in the US wanted, and those who did want it don't understand how the economy works and probably didn't graduate grade school. I'm sorry to our Canadian friends and neighbors. The US is a world embarrassment.

Trumps tariff wars are smoke. What is his real agenda he wants to hide by keeping us busy with this?

Sounds like he wants war with us lets get it

Cut off potash and all kind of stuff the US want. AND NO PIPELINES. NO, NO, NO!

Please remember not all of us Americans voted for this administration, and we don't support it at all. What they are doing in the White House is totally wrong, and needs to be impeached. Because we don't want them.

I like that he said our government is doing this to us. We don't want this either. Ridiculous doesn't even express this nonsense properly.\n\nThank you Prime Minister.

This is not US goverment this is Trump doing destroying the west \nTrump is bias of Putin\nWhy people of USA do not go on the street to Support Ukraine at least to show solidarity\nTrump offers Zelenski Capitulation and that gives Putin Wings to continue to take the rest of Ukraine and slowy whole Europe\nHe wants to reverse Reagan-Gorbacov history and with Trump he will succeed\nThis is Weaker America not stronger America\nHomer Simpson will do better than Trump

Trump don’t care about his people, what he wants is make the investors invest in USA in order to not charge tariffs like if it were easy to do and get back on 2000 year when the baby Bush triggered the massive investment in china and out of us soil; smart punk then. Labor wages are more higher than in china or mexico or any other country.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau, the sane Americans still love you and your great country. This government is not who or what I voted for. I am so sorry, friends. I think MOST of us do not want this either. Our government is a failure and we need to change it. We, the people. The REAL people. Not the fake numbers you hear about from this corrupt administration that lies like it's their religion to do so. Keep doing the right thing for your people, and know you have our respect. Also, please have mercy when many of us seek to move to a more civilized nation.

American from a southern state, this is all the government, we the people want nothing to do with it or basically any conflict we’ve been in since at least 2004. We see what you see, and there’s a greater number of us willing to move with you than for our “government”

Good for Canada. \nJust know at least half of us are with you and don’t want this turd.

The US is showing the world it is now an unreliable, untrustworthy partner. Canada will suffer these tariffs imposed arbitrarily by Pres.Trump, but Canada will always be a reliable and trustworthy partner. I think the real reason Pres Trump is trying to subjugate Canada is he doesn't want the constant reminder what a true friend and trustworthy partner looks like. He is embarrassed by the comparison.

They should just have a vote for our people if we want this or not. Honestly after he said the 97% stuff…. I’m very confused now. It’s almost like…. It just goes deeper. \nLike there has to be a big picture hidden from all of us, unless someone can explain. \nHonestly, let’s see what happens. Good luck everyone :3

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

Mr Trudeau, most Americans are with you 100%. We don’t want this, it’s ridiculous. Please know this Trump action is not the will of the American people. He acts alone and with stupidity that cannot be explained. We love Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all our allies. I feel we are being held hostage by one man and his sycophant cult. Please help us. ?

The Orange lunatic is the master of falsehood! He will made up all kinds of allegation on those he is taking revenge on those who laugh at him for his stupidity during his first term! He doesn't care if any of his action will hurt Americans, they are the last thing in his mind (except those oligarchs who are supporting him)! The next most troubling reason for his action is because he wants to weaken the free world alliance to benefit Putin! This trouble that he is creating will disrupt the economy round the world distracting the focus in the Ukraine war! And weaken the financial support that Ukraine's friends are consolidating to overcome the shortfall from US withdrawing aids to Ukraine! Lastly, that Orange lunatic is preparing a path to turn US into an autocratic, dictatorship system and align with Putin, so that he can corruptly benefit himself without opposition (he can suppress any opposition like Putin)!

Donald wants to hurt Canada so they vote out Justin because he hates Justin. He want conservatives in Canada to come into power so they can bend over in front of Donald and ultimately destroy Canadian economy and the US can take possession of all of Canadian resources. I'm just waiting for Donald's funeral.

Canada leaders are on target! They should not allow this worthless bully Trump to bully them! How senseless and ridiculous for Trump to cause this huge problem! Trump wants to be a dictator like Russia president which is why he speaks so favorably about Russia and speak down to our allies and our leaders.\nAmerica foolishly voted Trump back into office , now watch as he destroy this country , families , jobs and alike. \nPrices are higher than ever, Americans will go further into debt with the tariffs our allies are being forced to do!\nOur allies will NEVER TRUST US again

As an American -- most of us don't want this either. *sigh*

As a Canadian, we love everyone! Except bullies and people that create wars and attack innocent people. I have nothing against people from U.S or Russia. I disagree with there leaders however. I don't like our leader but when you start a fight I always was told to never back down. Trump doesn't want to work together. He wants to crush everyone and destroy. NUTS! Canada will fight a bully always. We are also the friendliest people in the world.. Just don't piss us off!

This is so sad. We Americans love Canada, Mexico and China. This is not what Americans want at all. This is what trump wants. He is destroying us for no reason. This is so hard to watch

As a Canadian… this man is a moron. Tariffs are taxes. \n\nHe taxes us to death. 1) We have 13% sales tax. \n2) We have 53.53% in income tax. \n3) Average property tax of $7k a year. \n4) 50% capital gains tax\n5) 10% luxury tax on new cars, boats and aircraft\n\n\nHe wants to add more Carbon taxes. \n\nAnd yet, he makes a big fuss over this.\n\nIDIOT.

Bunch of clowns in the comment section siding with this sellout. People within his own country don’t want him. He screws his own country and is telling the American people what’s good for them! FOH continue screwing your own country and you can leave us alone.

Most Americans do not want this either. There is NO words to explain how most of us feel.

American here, and I know that I don’t speak for all of us, but THERE IS A HELL OF A LOT OF US THAT DO NOT WANT THIS EITHER! Probably more of us that don’t want it, than there are that do! Help us!!! Please, God!!! Help us!!

I am a canadian and half my family live in the US... we are not enemies but I am not alone in fearing what America is becoming and the direction it is taking in trade , geo politics and governing philosophy. \nthe people behind project 2025 are not rational old conservatives harking back to a by gone era, they are christian fundementalists enacting a plan to bring about the transformation of the US into a full blown christian theocracy. A christian version of the taliban. \nThe vast majority of Americans don't want this and I believe share my fears on the direction of the country... it'll be up to the corporate oligachs to decide how this gets settled and that should scare the crap out of everyone... because they just want chaos to make money, to profit and to self aggrandise and stride on the stage as power merchants ... they could not care less about the American people.\na time is coming that fits the orginal purpose of the second amendment ... let's just hope people are smart enough to know who to point them at...

Here's the sense, Trump wants to turn the US into a totalitarian dictatorship period‼️\nHe's a modern-day Hitler ?\nI'm on Canada's side ❤❤

Please know the majority of us Americans don’t agree with not only tariffs but everything else that has been pushed on us by this regime. Nor do we want anything to do with Russia.

I'm just going to clarify something remember when they said Trump had allies with Russia now you see what the Democrats were talking about. Trump always blames democrats for his faults. Trump had you guys convinced not to vote for Democrat. Now are allies don't even want to deal with the US anymore which is understandable because of what the whole nation seen with their own eyes and heard with their own ears. Trump says he wants to make America Great American dream not for Americans maybe for you Republicans I guarantee a lot of Republicans don't agree with him but they all are scared to say anything to Trump and his team which that is disturbing within itself. Trump needs to be impeached he's causing to much chaos and still getting away with people's lives in real life situations this is not a joke. As for JD Vance his vice president he was laughing and asking Zelenskyy why was he not wear a suit what about Elon musk he wasn't wearing a suit? And when you ask another person to come from another country to the White House they are dressed in their traditional clothing to be mocked by these men is despicable. Real people lost their jobs, real people are dying that need aid,for them to shut down the military aid was a slap in the face,mind you they sit back and laugh about it.. Russia is the last person Trump should be nice Putin is not on the US side it's obvious but Trump laughs with him, communicate better with Putin which is disturbing as well. Having the power and money makes people so entwined into their own world,Trump should think about Americans first and not act like a disrespectful person he ruined his chance not Zelenskyy. Now We the people are looking at our President and vice President like the are unhinged, disrespectful, uncompassionate, and down right rude. Kamala,Tim warned everyone Barak, Michelle, Biden did also y'all should have listened. I voted for Kamala and Tim. If Trump wants peace he needs to stop with all the madness and focus fixing the US.

Trudeau you stick to your own country. \nWe elected Trump. Let us worry about us. \nStart helping your own. \nGood luck, Canadaians. We want to help you rid yourself of him.❤❤loves from America

Those who voted for that want to be dictator, America down fall is on your hands. Yall silly,gullible,rabbits. Your hate, division, racism, sided with that criminal. The suffering we'll all will go through is on your hands. How about those $16.00 eggs? You voted against everything that was good for US ALL. You silly rabbits. You had NO Spiritual Discernment, just bigotry, blind to WHO, & WHAT that man is, you didnt care. You silly foolishness, deceived rabbits. May God have mercy on us. It's going to be a longgggg 4yrs. That is if he don't crown himself as king. Demonic spirits are leading the FREE WORLD. Dear God
