Honestly the batshit crazy comment reflects the #1 concern most Canadians have with the United States. We have conservatives and religious types but they're all more or less respectful and they don't try to control Canadian society. In comparison, at least a fifth of Americans are borderline fascists, and none of us want anything to do with those types of people. Since Trump took office they've become a hundred times worse, as now they're even threatening annexation. Sorry if it's hard to accept, but America has a serious problem right now, even if you're a good person.

Ive got no problem with LEGAL economic migration. Or coming as a refugee if you want to come here, work, and obey our laws then i am happy to welcome you. But if your gonna ponce our welfare programs and not assimilate into our cultures and commit crimes then we don't want you. Your not welcome. Its as simple as that

The fentanol shit is an alibi. He wants Canada. Why buy oil and other ressources from you if he can get it for free.\nI support Trump plan to get Canada and Greenland and disengage from the middle east. Enough suffering there, time for Canada and western Europe to be the prey.

We stand wit our government America First!\nA Lil struggle to get the end game we want ain't nun \nYall better strap in cuz we ready

When it comes to trade aggreement if you want to be in a position where you have the maximum advantage you have to do the not so friendly but the right thing. Donald Trump is a business man so this is not a surprise.

A majority of us who DIDN’T vote for him “Don’t want this either”!

Trump idolizes Putin.\nPutin wanted to invade Ukraine, while Trump wants to invade Canada.

maybe trump want Canada and Mexico to be Amercia's 51th and 52th state. but even I know it can't be achieved

President Trump is Wrong and Should be Stopped by The Supreme Court for violating His Sworn Duty to Serve Americans Citizens, NOT Russians INTERESTS. HE ASO IS BRINGING OUR COUNTRY INTO COMPLETE FINANCIAL SHUT DOWN A DEPRESSION. PUTTIN IS EVIL, BUT SLEEPING WITH HIM ISN'T THE ANSWER TO DEALING WITH HIM. PUTTIN PLANS TO DESTROY THE WORLD, GOG AND MAYGOG. WAKE UP AMERICA, GOD WARNED US ABOUT THE EVIL Leaders THAT WOULD LIE TO US SO THEY COULD CONTROL EVERYTHING EVEN THE COST OF FOOD And WHERE WE GET IT. TAKE NO MARKS ON YOUR HANDS OR HEAD. PAY ATTENTION AND PRAY FOR GOD'S INTERVENTION. MR. TRUMP IS OUT OF CONTROL AS IS HIS CABINET OF PEOPLE. THEY ACT LIKE THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT BECAUSE IT WON'T HURT THEM. IT WILL BE THE WEAK, ELDERLY, SICKLY, WIDOWS, CHILDREN AND THE POOR THAT WILL SUFFER EVEN MORE. WHAT ABOUT ALL OF THE HOMELESS AND THE FOLKS THAT ARE SUFFERING FROM FLOUDS AND FIRE. Washington could be fixing our National problems but they aren't. People are hurting every day in America. Getting poorer and poorer every day. Maybe that's Washington's plan to kill off the needy.

We want your land.

Yes. We win. We don’t need Canada’s economy, they need ours. The world has been taking advantage of our resources and money for far too long. Canada doesn’t need defense, the US provides it, Europe needs no defense, the US provides it. You want to work with us, come to the table and negotiate.

Well done Canada! We love and support you! We had to go through a virus pandemic, a War, and now a trade war, what madman would do such a horrible thing for the people around the world?! There’s no peace as long as the political system stays the same! Horrible! This is what Russia and China want all along ! They wanted everyone to go against the US! Trump has shot himself and his policies on the foot and it will be dire for the US in the long run! OMG

Trump wants to take Greenland and Kanada like Putin that wants to take Europe territories they are the same ?

Trump wants peace with putin that's well okay but some old friend doesn't agree to that ! So \nAmerica ❤ Russia VS other countries who were not willing to be friends with them which means no peace

Canada if you want you can join EU :) greetings from Germany

The trade war is just the begining. Trump will use the fentanyl crisis and lie to people that Canada does nothing to prevent trafficking this drug. And how Trumpo will want to protect his beloved country? By sending army to the border with Canada. And then? Well maby an intervention on Canadas land? Trump loves Putin, Hitler. And they did the same as decribed above. By the end of 2025 we will have a 3rd world war.

Acting like a bully, the US has abandoned the course of cooperation and instead preferred a course of confrontation. The US wants to dump its old friends and colonolise the whole world by aligning with its erstwhile adversaries.

Good morning ma, I am a very big fans of yours and as you keep enlightening us about the japa system may the Lord bless you too and ma I want to know if I can be grant a study visa with my father’s surname been (AKINPELU) while on my Waec was ( AKINPELUMI) the mistake was the (MI) so what name should I put on my passport ma. Also how do I get the japa system book

To think that Canadians would want to become part of the US simply shows just how deluded certain Americans are about their own country.

We need to block trumps visit to the uk. Dont want this traitor to our allies. Long live Canada

Behind closed doors, they talk about the American banks that want action in Canada. trudeau never mentioned in his speech.

Great job America for voting for trump. He is not a leader he is a dictator that wants power. He doesn’t care about peoples wellbeing

This guy's own people don't want him. Also what about the tariffs Canada already has in place against the USA

So now the government in Canada wants to defend us & tell us to stand united but in the past decade this country has turned into trash as they gave it away with an open door of Indians taking over and not giving AF about the people born and raised here - the adds on the radio ask us to keep our money in Canada and untie, but we dont even have a Canadian culture left anymore and people living here long enough know its true unfortunately, this was a great place to live but they destroyed it long before this issue - cost of living, housing crisis, immigration, gangs, crime etc. - If they want to keep letting people in here then start a service to help us get out and relocate before asking for help from the people you hurt

Unfortunately, i think that trump (he does not deserve un upercase) dreams of becoming like putin. All that he is doing, everything in his language and actions screams dictator. I think that putin dreams of having the entire Europe to himself and that trump will actually want everything around the USA which includes ofc, Canada. That was their deal. I don't understand why americans are standing by just watching things unfold. It will not get better, this can only and will get worse. Sooner than they think they will find themselves trapped under these people, with no rights. It is really hard when you are already there to actually go back to democracy.

Trump knows it’s not about fentanyl. He wants your country and your resources. He’s a Russian asset. Dangerous man. Him and Putin work together. Don’t give Trump a damn thing!!!!!!!

Trudeau you're a PM and when you disrespect the president publically you disrespect America, so you have no right to address the American people. You don't know how to handle politics and thats why your own people have verbalized that they want you gone! Your lack of respect for the President and the United States is what put you and your country in this situation in the first place. Tou're leaving out on a low. Humble yourself and sit down and talk to the President, and address him as such, and he'll cut you a deal, and you can gain back some dignity. Otherwise, stop complaining to the world community. You look weak!

From the Midwest U.S, I support Canada and Mexico! We don’t want tariffs. We want ALL our economy to prosper! Not to crash them down! Otherwise, if we place tariffs, ALL OF US will be hurt. ALL COUNTRIES. ALL citizens regardless of income levels will feel it. \n\nRising egg prices? Just tonight (as of the evening of March 4) he blames it on Biden and the administration when he’s not even the president! I cannot believe we voted for a president who points fingers rather than taking accountability. \n\nAs an American, I only want to apologize to the world for voting for this bully (I never voted for him, but he won anyways.) I wish you all the best.

He aligned with Russia because the US wants to take panama and Greenland by force , that's why the change in policy...

Justin, all canadiens want you to disappear, you did enough to screw and sell our country, everyone hates you !!!! Take your carbon taxes and shovit up your you know where !!!!

We don’t want this, either. My friends and I are getting more of us to fight Trump! Americans stand with Canada!!

Nobody wants this

Look at some of your states they look like Third World countries we want no part of that. America is falling apart and nobody wants anything to do with you guys anymore. ?

I’m a dual citizen of the USA and the UK and have been so disgusted by Trump, he projects evil, he’s smarmy and egotistical. I just don’t understand how many of my American friends act like he’s right up there with God, I just can’t fathom their thinking. It’s all about taking ownership of anything he wants and he bullies until he gets what he wants. I’m sick of people saying Pres Zelenskyy needs to apology to Trump, Zelenskyy did nothing wrong, he was calm and polite. Vance and Trump immediately went in on the attack, both bullies! Then to moan about Zelenskyy offending the Oval Office by not wearing a suit. Have they looked at Musk lately? Don’t know what he’s wearing but it ain’t no suit. During war times leaders often wear combat clothes to show they are with their country and soldiers. I must say I wouldn’t be upset if anyone popped him off! He does need to go.

This is causing hatred, is this what Trump wants! ?

Remember Trump and his little entourage and delusional supporters wanted this. Most Americans did not and do not all feel the same way.

Remove Trump! Remove Vance! Remove Musk! Get rid of them!\n\nAmerica belongs to we the people! \n\nDiaper Trump does NOT OWN AMERICA. \n\nTrump is a dictator want to be tyrant who loves Putin. Trump is the biggest liar anybody has ever seen!\nTrump is hurting America! Trump cares only about himself and his minions who do what they are told. \nTrump lies are all part of his propaganda so he can become a dictator! \n\nWe need to remove him from the Oval Office and lock him up behind bars!

Canadian here- ?? \nThis is the Prime Minister we wanted 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 years ago:) \nGood to see him do something for the country finally

To Europe and Canada- We Americans have concerns!!! As Americans we have concerns related to Putin; our hearts hurt for Ukraine- we want peace! As Americans we realize Putin is a bully, and what he did to Ukraine was evil!!?

I am trying to get my Architect's license but immigration Canada keeps giving all the Intern Architect jobs to immigrants instead of Canadians like me who want to build more housing. If you want more housing then you need to give future real estate developers like me a job as an Intern Architect. I can't build houses if I am unemployed.

From Europe : America is over ! You have vote for the beast to destruct your country ! No one trust you anymore and for many many many years, and this no matter who the next president will be in 4 years. we are fed up with you. \nYou can have all the wealth you want but you will have no friends anymore.

did he say he wants to wipe fentanyl from from earth but its a viable drug for several life saving durgs... its just a terrible drug in the hands of criminals and poor people looking for a cheap high

The irony is that as an American, trump makes me want to move to Canada. Can I seek asylum in Canada on grounds of having a deranged fucking idiot as president?

Trump just wants to burn it all down

As a U.S. citizen, my full support to you Canada- but going forward please emphasize that the Trump administration is choosing to start this trade war -not America-millions of us do not support or want to be associated with that tyrant in the White House!

Our borders aren't safe. Trudeau opened up our borders to allow all these immigrants into our country and mow have ISIS terrorist here in Canada. Trudeau is the biggest terrorist in this country. We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for Trudeau. He is the biggest liar. He put Canadians at risk. Since Trudeau got in the suicide rates have gone up and it's Trudeau who is at fault. We are fed up with what he has and continues to do and we are feeling completely lost with how we are going to get out of this mess. Canadians want an election for our prime minister. We want Trudeau gone. We don't have any faith in our government officials.

Say it correctly please, the American PEOPLE are NOT enemies of Canada….President Trump and those who voted for him are enemies of Canada. Many Canadians and Americans are being harmed by a president they did not vote for and we don’t want Canadians and Americans who are innocent to suffer. A great day of us Americans want to remain friends with Canadians and are very sad about what is going on.

I’m an American, I don’t want this either!

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.
