Why are you declaring Canada is the presumptive 51st state?

For all the people in the comments, just because he speaks clearer than some other people doesn’t mean he is right and doesn’t me he has the facts straight. Canada has slowly been falling apart with this dictator leader. Believe what ya want but this is a good thing for America

I stand with Canada and the world against Trump .

I gotta be honest -- I never seen this coming, America starting a war with Canada out of All Countries

Wow Canada is cooked lol.

I see this as nothing less than Trump wanting to do to Canada a slightly more palatable version of what Putin is doing to Ukraine. Trump has openly said he wants Canada to become the 51st state, even though this is a huge ask as Canada has a population larger than any US state (California is close in population size), Canada has a land mass nearly the size of the US and, including water mass, Canada has a larger overall area than the US. Trump also wants Iceland to be owned by America. He has become power crazy during a war because this is his only chance to stoke his ego to undreamable levels. Trump wants to be America's Putin.

Go Canada! Don’t negotiate with these lunatics. People voted for chaos, let’s see how they like it.

As an American, did that weasel Trudeau just threaten us?! Um, he better backstep while he still has time. Canada has NO product that we Americans cannot replace with an American made one in a matter of months. Fertilizer is an easy one, Our farmers just need to go back to using natural animal/yuman waste which is ecactly what used to be done. It even saves farmers billions $ because they create a use for waste they now pay to have to process for removal. Lumber and products are also an easy fix. We Americans have millions of acres of timber that actually NEEDS regular harvest to reduce the forest fires that plague us yearly. The list goes on, and not a single item cannot be MADE IN AMERICA that we currently get from Canada.

I've heard his popularity is way down in Canada. They should look at Trump a little more closely.

I'm an italian, more than that an european... And we are with you, Canada. Well spoken and done, Mr. Trudeau. ❤??

AGREE,what is this about definitely not the border !Trumps REGIME is trying to weaken Canada so he can Annex us!!!\nThat will never happen most Americans disagree with Trump more than half now after what has happened in the news lately!!\nThank you Mr.Trudeau for an eloquent,intelligent response to Trumps DUMB plan.After decades of good relations between our nations Trump has chosen Putin’s playbook\nCanadians and the world now are BOYCOTTING the once upon a time Ally Our neighbour America!!\nThis will not play out well for Americans Canadians or Mexicans \n??????

1000% tariff on Canada problem solved

I think Canada will be better off than the US with these Tariff’s. The US government is grifting their people while Canada will help their businesses. Trump doesn’t care about US citizens, only his own glory.

As an American, I stand with Canada, Mexico, and the Ukraine. Donald is a wanna-be dictator and needs to be impeached immediately.

USA should up Canada tariff to 50%. Screw them. No one in the world gives a sh1t about Canada. All your famous rich ppl came to the USA to get famous and rich. What have they EVER done???? ??? Our GDP to Canada is 17%. Theirs to us is only 2%. Don't need them.

Everyone I speak to in the UK stands with Canada. We must do what’s right and stand up to the bully boy tactics from USA and Russia. Sad for Americans who didn’t vote for this seeing their country go this way.

As an American, I will stand with Canada, Ukraine, and NATO. Our true allies and friends. Trump is, unfortunately, a Russia useful idiot.

This man is idiot.US should take over Canada quickly

for Canada to even act on the baseless fentanyl accusation of that moron is just feeding to his ego, apart from addressing the american people and that moron AHEAD of the canadian people just appear you are agreeing to his claim of america first! NEXT time address your people first then america second if not third or fourth jeeez

Fuck Canada lol. Never liked maple syrup anyway

Hate to tell you Justin but we got what you're selling. America needs to become independent in energy and agriculture. America needs to support its own farmers, and oil and gas workers. Its time for America to become America again! You are crazy if you live in America and don't support American manufacturing, Farmers, oil and gas workers. Maybe you should move to Canada if you don't agree with America first.

Nothing makes sense of that! \nCanada ?? ? Murderous doesn't sound good! Canada ?? ?

I’m transnational. I’m from Canada ?? Now

Je suis tellement fier du Canada.

Bless Canada and Trudeau.

I’m so sorry Canada. Trump is America turd . Help us flush him . I’m an American and I stand with Canada and Ukrainian.

Canada problem is not with the United States. It's with the Trump administration thats running the country and it's policies

Canada as an American I am so sorry for us all

Somebody said: once you realize trump works for Putin, everything he does makes sense. As an American, I fully support Canada on this non-sense from the US.

TRUMP WANTS AMERICANS BEGGING IN THE STREETS. ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN KNOWS THAT TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE EXCEPT HIMSELF PERIOD!\nHE IS AFTER ALL A LIAR, A CROOK, A CON ARTIST, BUT MOST OF ALL AN AMERICAN KILLER!!\nWE MUST ALL STAND FOR DEMOCRACY!!\nTRUMP DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT TRUE HARDWORKING TAX PAYING AMERICANS DON'T KILL OR WANT TO KILL OTHER AMERICANS PERIOD!! HE'S NEVER PAID TAXES!! \nI WANT TO MOVE TO CANADA WHERE THEIR PRESIDENT REALLY DOES CARE ABOUT HIS COUNTRY AND CANADIANS.

We love you Canada,I know it is Trump he sucks

Most Americans stand with Canada ?? we apologize for our president who suffers from ‘LDS’ he’s just a said pathetic human do what you must. Do not be bullied by a little man like Trump smack him down.

Make NO MISTAKE...ALL of Canada is pissed right off\n This will not go away any time soon.

being swedish growing up i always had good thoughts about Canada and Australia , and it just got alot bigger for Canada , what a great leader you have.\ntake care of this guy.

I’m moving to Canada if they allow me hopefully they allow Puerto Ricans over there. I feel much safer in Canada.

Bro don’t speak to me. You’re a corrupt leader who is stepping down. We don’t need your lies Mr. Canada. And all of you who love Canada and Europe so much… PLEASE GO. For the love of god please leave!

Trudeau has destroyed canada ??? look at all the pansies that are kissing him.

From America- I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

Close your open door policy and stop letting everyone come to your country. And then they sneak into our country. Go to Vancouver and you will see there is a brown and yellow town I mean how many of them are illegal. On the other hand i understand what you saying. Key words border check point. But how long is the border in Canada thousands of ways for stuff to come through

Trump is nuts and Republican politicians are cowards and ignoring their responsibilities to rein this nutcase in. My deepest apologies to Canada and the rest of the world. Except to Putin - he can suck it.

Quit acting like this is a guy who Canadians actually like. Trudeau is massively unpopular and will be gone very soon, when the new Prime Minister of Canada is put in place there will be a deal. Canada has run wild for far too long getting the best of us in every way now that it is fair they act as if they have been doing us favors all along when it has been the other way around.

Lies! Canada doubled it's population in the last 5-6 years due to migration! Explain that! Your cities are filled to the brim with addicts! Explain that! Lies! Lies! Lies!

We're with you Canada. We don't want this, either. Because you are a gentleman, like all presidents should be, you can't call him what he really is, a bully, spoiled brat, and incompetent Douch bag. Unfortunately we don't have a gentleman in the White House.

I just don't understand why is Canada responsible for American junkies? Canadians are not forcing Americans to get high. trump educates your people about drug addiction.

Trump administration already trying to set the stage for backing down. Canada and Mexico should not negotiate with terrorism. Stand their ground. Help Trump and Musk supporters finally open their eyes and see how STUPID the Trump administration actually is, and how everything that is being done (crashing the economy) will ultimately benefit the ultra rich, who can purchase failing assets for cheap.

Canada. Is Righteousness ❤️??

I feel like i wanna live in Canada now!

This is very simple.Trump puts Canada and Mexico into a ressioun.The US will fallow shortly after.You want this?

I thought tariffs affected me as a US consumer? So why is Canada placing tariffs on us if it’ll just affect their citizens? Am I understanding this wrong? Would appreciate if someone could explain.

i heard canada already had tariffs on american goods. is this true or false??? media please explain
