Those so-called American are lefty. You lost the election. We have the right president for the right job. In times like these, America must fix in-house before helping other countries. Canada needs to fix their house, too. As someone who visited Canada many times. Believe me, you are not that America friendly.

As an expatriate Canadian living outside of Canada for 40 years I have always been proud to be Canadian. Today I am 5 fold proud of my country and prime minister who have shown an intelligent but firm response to an adolescent bully.

You’re listening to a guy that his Party Kicked out! Now do you believe what he says, look at what he did to Canada

Dear Canada stop coming to America for your cheaper products and higher-paying jobs and stay on your side of the Border

In Canada, there are several different genders. Just saying…..

As someone from New York, I think what we are doing to our two best friends, Canada and Mexico is not in our interests to say the least, and we're already seeing our electric costs go up in NYS because of this chicanery. I am with my Canadian and Mexican friends.

.... Well I'll tell you what Trudeau,.... None of us people wanted these tariffs either... At least not the people who are sane... I don't even think the people who voted for Donald Trump wanted these tariffs against the rest of the world either....I really don't understand the sense behind it because this is not going to make America greater.... It's going to destroy the economy of America and whatever the country it is that he poses these tariffs on... He thinks this is a strategy for getting what he wants... But I'll tell you what, he may be shocked and sadly mistaken when he finds out that it might just backfire ...this is a very conceited attempt to get the type of economic condition that he envisions for his new Dictatorship over America....he has alienated United States from its allies in Europe as well as its allies here at home.... This is probably about as dumb as his treatment of Volodimir Zelensky that just transpired on Friday at the oval office...and that idiot Vance is the one actually that has started that little debacle....I don't know man I thought these guys had more sense than to do this kind of shit.... But see this kind of situation is not going to affect him or his billionaire buddies because they have so much money they can cushion themselves until the cows come home....these assholes don't have nothing to worry about except the American people finding an emergency way of getting his ass out of office unless he changes course on all of this... I don't know if he can be impeached or not... But it might be a smart thing to find out if it IS possible.... AND EVEN IF IT IS WE STILL HAVE HIS SITTING REPLACEMENTS STILL IN OFFICE AS WELL SO I DON'T SEE THIS GOING AWAY WITHIN THE NEXT 4 YEARS UNLESS HE COMES BACK TO HIS SENSES, AND POSSIBLY GOES TO A DOCTOR AND HAVE HIS HEAD CHECKED....\nDTheMadkat123\nFrom a borrowed phone \n....the only thing I really do support that he is doing is securing the border and dealing with immigration issues here.... That's it that's all I was hoping that he would really focus on being in the oval office, and possibly standing by Ukraine, and Israel during these evil days.... Buddying up to Putin is like the single most insane thing that has come from this as well..I just hope and pray that he comes back to his senses and backtracks on all of this shit.... Besides I like Canada House whiskey, and Canada Dry Ginger ale, and other products from Canada.... Stand strong Canadians, I love you all, and I hope we can make it through these tough times ahead...but obviously the road that we're traveling now there really is no guarantees is there ?? Lady can you shut the hell up and go back to what Trudeau is saying ??

I can’t understand why so many Canadians actually hate this guy!! Are there ignorant MAGA’s in Canada?

American and North Dakota resident here. Ashamed and embarrassed to even be associated with the US and the heinous actions of our government. Stay strong Canada. We are with you! ????\n\nAlso…. While we’re at it — Any chance you guys have room for one more?? ??\n\nPls?? \n\n…For the LaHve of GawEd??\n\nh a L p. ?

made in America will have no tariffs, have a good life Canada!

I stand with you Canada. I did not vote for this

This is the type of speech hard to listen to, the type of speech you need to give to a country about to go war, make no mystake, thats what this is, and this is also the type of speech that shows who is and who is not fit for leadership, Trudeau you made mistakes when you were younger, but who didnt, but you sure matured to be a leader who can make people follow you from youre words alone, im glad we have a president in south america with such caracther on the side of reason and peace, with all the doomlike scenarios i conjure from seeying Trump pulling the USA to side with Russia and only imagine russia joining nazi germany just to get also screwed as soon as russia gets the chance and trump is clueless about it, youre speech eased my mind a bit, thank you and thank you to all the people of Canada

Canada has 2 modes:\n- We're sorry \n- We're gonna make you sorry

GO Canada!!!! Sorry Amercans - only you ugys can shift this really !! Hopefully you make it happen way sooner rather than later - good luck !!

As an American, I find it insane that we are picking a fight with Canada. As far as I’m concerned, Canada, Australia and the UK are extended family. You don’t disrespect and threaten family like this.

Patriotic American here. My government no longer represents me, my interests or my ideals. Thank you PM Trudeau for speaking up. Thank you Canada for being strong and decent people.

From France ?? we side with the righteous and our Canadian brothers, but also with our American friends victim of the madman! \nWell said, and well done Canada! Enough with the orange tyrant! ✌?

As an Australian I stand with Canada as a British Commonwealth nation and a respected ally. Trump wants to mark his leadership as the “Greatest US president” by annexing Canada and Mexico. This is USA risking WWIII to enrich Trump and his sycophants with oil, minerals and weapons sale.

Is crazy i aproved, is not right!!! Don’t blame Canada ! Is Trump!!!

i live in canada and i hate this girl

Dear Canada and Mexico,Ukraine,China, and everybody else he shits on-\nDonnie Dump does not speak for most Americans, We love and respect people-

Sorry Canada. your not alone. a concerned American.

The fool wants tarrifs, Canada. There's just nothing you can do. Nothing you'll put in place will be enough. What they're asking is only excuses.

First the trade war based on lies, then a political war based on lies, then a special military operation based on lies. And hey presto, according the Putin playbook Canada becomes the 51st state.

I'm not rooting for Canada versus the US, my home country. I'm rooting for Canada versus Trump.

I hope California gets adopted by Canada. I'm so down.

Hundreds of millions of us are against this. We wish for a president like him, we tried so hard to make the other half understand they're being lied to. We are on your side, Canada, were on Ukraine's side, and we are embarrassed, repulsed, and pretty terrified.

I’m Canadian and loved PM Trudeau’s response to the tariffs. Thank you to all the countries throughout the world who have expressed their support for Canada. Vive le Canada ???

I assure every Canadian that every U.S. citizen loves your nation. The only people against Canada are Donald J. Trump and his administrative thugs.

Thank you! This is how a leader should speak and act!!! I am on your side Canada. I am so disgusted with our so called “leader” and government. I, along with many others, did not vote for this despicable idiot called Donald Trump.

america won't hold these tariffs for long, remember Canada is a commonwealth country under the protection of his majesty the king of uk, a trade war with Canada is effectively a trade war with the uk and its commonwealth, the uk and the commonwealth will not stand by and watch putin being mommy cuddled by trump, let that sink in the british commonwealth is the largest fighting force in the world, the king has invited trump to the uk am pretty sure the king will let him know, Canada and the uk is the special relationship not the u.s fact, god bless Canada and the United Kingdom

Well done Canada! I’m with you!

Stupid leader …,we don’t need Canada. Canada needs us !!! Remember it !

Ohio has SO many Canadian products and gas stations. It's going to get VERY hard, very quickly. Hang in there Canada. The majority of America stands with you❤

From Metro Detroit We stand with Canada

This guy is so weak. Don't he know that we Americans don't need Canada to survive. We are Americans not Canadians we vote for Trump not this dude. He should only address the Citizens of Canada. Americans are listening to his propaganda, some old jargon, business as usual conversation. America first!

I will still buy Canadian products. If I can pay more for eggs, I can buy the wonderful produce and other products from Canada. This really is a dumb thing Trump has done. I hope something happens to undo what has happened.

As a American I find the actions of Vladimir Trump absolutely disgusting! I didn't vote for that scumbag! I live right across the st Lawrence river from Canada and I love that country as well!!!

I am totally with CANADA ... greetings from UK ?shame on president Trump

Canada will never back down to the U.S. this evil empire is on the way down

Canada is VERY welcome to trade with Europe.

Mmm, how come he didn't mention the tariffs on Canadian goods sold in America that Canada has been charging Americans for a long time? What's good for the goose is not good for the gander!

Trump should maybe rethink things with Canada...

You want to stop the fentanyl flow? Stop its addiction in the United States. I’m from Washington State and am fully behind Canada and love my brothers and sisters to the north.

Pull all funding from Canada

I'm so sorry for Great Courtney and Great Ally of Canada we missed the friendship. But one idiot, a puppet of Putin. I am so emberesty and sheime\n Trump Vince Johnson and Elon Musk just fly to the MARS and eat DAST

Did he really say Trump is a smart man? ???? they do have some funny f'n people in that country. Lots of great comedy minds come from Canada!

I’m so sorry Canada. Trump is America turd . Help us flush him .

Love you Canada and Trudeau ??

could you imagine what the men of your country will become when the leadership of your country is as soft as this man. No thanks Canada. This guy has sabotaged your country
