Canada had a chance to become our 51st state, but chose to stay under British rule and now look what a mess you have. 😢

canadians are just straight confused if they are choosing to go down there voluntarily 🤦‍♂️ probably the albertan separatists looking for a new home 😂

I fully agree with Poland man. They look other immigrant who came many years ago whom their forefathers work so hard and make saving yet they want easy and fast money.

I think that Trump thinks that those tariffs look so good on paper, but have no idea how it really works. There is a difference between running a business and a country.

All leftwing pelple in the comments insulting Trump are enjoying freedom of speech that right wing people are fighting for while if they were in power they would silence half the country on social media. I think this speaks volumes. Not hard to see what would happen, just look at what happened under Biden and what happens in Europe. ? Yet it's somehow Trump the dictator.

This simply gave me chills, Canadians are strong and tough and i look up to them. Wow.

Is Trump looking for an excuse to invade Canada? It's such an idiot..

I am a long-standing anti-Canadian, and I am standing with Canada in this. \nTalk about a dire situation.\n\nJust as the new Snow White, 47 has achieved almost complete world unity, by doing something the majority of us collectively hate.\n\nOutstanding, 47, you are making Keir Starmer and Justin Trudeau look appealing and competent... No mean feat ??

Look at you rallying behind the man who turned your government on its own people. So proud!

Lol, what a dummy. Doesn't her know that that doesn't work that way? Sure go ahead and go for it, america accounts for almost 80% of Canada's total goods and service exports ? what makes this even more worse for Canada's prime minister is the fact that they recieve just over 60% of imports from guess who.... the United States. Where as america has the ability to stop all trade to canada all together, be just fine with the reserves we have. While increasing trade import and export with another country we already do business with, making them very happy in the process and still making huge savings in the process. When 80% and 60% of your exports and imports respectively. Consists of literally sharing its only common border with the united states would mean a complete scrap of the total infrastructure since they would hace then compensate through sea and air through the arctic and distances of 10x of what they are used to. Then it starts to make sense as to why trump wants Greenland. Look this it just a bluff by the Canadian prime minister that supposedly resigned not long ago but his tyrant ass don't really wanna leave. Plus, you really think dude can make up for all that loss and go find it through another contry? Hahaha? yeah okay good luck with that. Canada shoukd ne disappointed in the man even more. He's not for you, he's for himself and the best for him and the other lobbyists. ???

Guys see how a leader looks like when he's not reading from a paper or teleprompter

As a Dutch citizen, I also want a PM like this. How do we get one of these instead of forgetting PM, and PM without having any say in his cabinet or a Harry Potter look a like?

Shame on you, Canada. Shame on you, Trudeau. You acted so tough but you always stay in the back, looking for protection to protect your mouth. Trump will hunt your words, you have no idea that the degree you earned while you were in college is wasted through your mouth.

Donald Trump makes all politicians other than himself look smart.

Also, gosh.. Canadian politicians are good looking. Look at those faces we have in the States ?

My heart is sick, Americans have become so stupid because of the Internet because of all the Facebook and all the other stupid crap algorithms that feed them nothing but lies. None of them read books anymore. Everyone’s in here is just looking to Fuck someone literally and figuratively sorry sorry world America has always been a pretty shitty place but now we finally taken the mask completely off.

STOP! The Canadiens are not our allies. We, here in the United States of America, ARE FREE PEOPLE! Canadiens are Socialists, you are not a free people. You have no way to self correct by free elections. Look at what TRUDEAU did to those truckers. No accountability! Look what they did to President Trump. WE THE PEOPLE SPOKE...and now retribution. Canada needs to adopt a similar system. Trudeau is a piece of shit!

A Trade war is a wake up call . Historical Friendship in tatters .. USA becoming inwards looking to Clean House ??

Bien joué. At the very least, Monsieur Trudeau looks like the leader of a nation. The same can't be said for someone in outdated, baggy suits, button undone, tie too long, glowing like a sultana, topped off by a tacky baseb@ll cap.

I will certainly look for products from Canada because I will feel proud to use their products.

Look at all these fake bot comments! Lol

Jesus Christ is the Son of GOD who died for our sins and rose from the dead to give us eternal life in heaven and promised to heal your body. Look up and ask Him.

Looks like it's the end for USA glory time.

He talks without looking at the script, impressive!

K, so you’re gonna stop the carbon tax now then, right?????? \nlol\nI didn’t think so. This guy is so full of it. He is the reason why we are suffering as a country. Not Donald Trump. Donald is just looking out for his own country. It’ll help them, it’ll hurt us because you’re gonna let it hurt us. We are already taxed in every humanly way possible. What’s next? I’m sure you’ll think of something to tax. \nThis man has ruined what’s left of Canada. Don’t fall for this rhetoric little speech people. \nOpen your minds and eyes!

this is funny and sad, right now tromp is such a joke that even mediocre leaders look good

Make that make sense! I couldn't have said it any better. Trudeau was never my favorite person in politics, but this latest stand against the tyrant that is just south of our great country! His justification for his tariff fantasy is the trade of fentinyl across the border and the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. As Trudeau has stated, paraphrasing a well known and respected publication, the Wall Street Journal, that this is a very DUMB move! That is an understatement. This is clearly not about drugs or illegal immigrants, it never was. Trump is supposed to be smart? This latest revelation proves otherwise. Just look at how they treated Zelensky during his last visit to the oval office. That showed a complete lack of respect! I fear we are in for a dismal for years!

I am from the UK, America what is trump doing to your country? This is not looking good.

This idiot is another shit sold to the elite... Look at what happened to Europe wake up

Compare him to Trump. Look Donald, these are coherent sentences that make sense. Just try it once, please.

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!

The world don’t need USA\n1. Stop petrodollar\n2. Stop buying USA bonds\n3. Dumb USA assets\n4. Look for alternative buyer of critical resources \n5. Boycott American product and services \nDo it now

Blistering? ???? He can’t even look or sound menacing.

I’ve never heard a more disingenuous speech. Look at his eyes Canadians. He lies just like Trump.

Some people say don’t listen to Trumps words but look at his actions. \n\nAll his actions he did since he is back in office are in favour of Putin and not of the American people

Where are Canadians now??? Look how racist you ppl are!

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. ?

Look up the King of the North and the King of the South… it’s like watching prophecy unfold in front of your eyes!

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.

Canada looks like a rebellious bitch of America, hahaha!

Now this is what a president in a suit looks and acts like. Trump is not a president.

Dear Canada, join the E.U..... Look, what your dumb US friends will do :)

Americans take a good hard look - this is how you lead.

trudeau suggesting his meeting with the king is out of context with modern reality\na shared interest in historical ties with england\nwe all know england has a very dark past of savagery and inhumanity and of course religious intolerance\ninhumanity on an unbelievable scale\ntrump would be honered to have participated in englands past\ntrudeau should chose his words more carefully\nits not possible to make a case for humanity whilst including a very dark relationship with jolly old england whom by the way is stuck in its gory past\nthese tariffs will not effect those who are imposing them mostly they will affect those already struggling\nso again trudeau is not really making a good case for humanity\nin fact it looks more like a willful and willing game of tit for tat with trump\nwhile the only injured will be the poor\nit looks more like trudeau is in partnership with trump and putin aligned against the poor\nhow can any one call this good diplomatic strategy while the politicians stay high and dry\nwhile the poor are left damp in spirit\ntrudeau is no political genuis unless his real pact is with trump albeit still no genuis simply a coconspirator against the turf by the aristocracy which of course england by all means claims for itself with its castle slash dungeonary past\nthe cries of many still ring out across the green rolling hills of england even after a thousand years\ntyrants they are\nengland shall never escape its past

look what that @umv f@ul went and did

Donald looking for more enemies

Looks like Canada back down…. Looks like you American uninformed foo-ls don’t know how REAL negotiations work

Some persons were just talking about their sentiments on their personal point of view but looking at US point of view, know that the US trade deficit (Deficit exists where US import from another nation to US exceeds US export to that nation from US) with Canada exceeded 58 billion dollars in 2024; with Mexico is more than 170 billion dollars in 2024; and with China is more than 295 billions dollars in 2024. In the Philippines, Philippine entrepreneurs and the like who are exporting their products had been enjoying tax incentives (It does mean when exports live the country versus imports being received by the country then) as Philippine export earning is the one making the Philippine economy richer with money gained while import is making the money to go out of the country (going out as cost or expense) then while being revenue of another country (so that the profit of a country which is revenue less the expense is obviously what is the truth about any argument about tariff (which in a way is discriminating the deficit in becoming wider and wider to the pleasure of those who loved imported goods then).

Looks like karma may get trump in the end.doing alot of damage

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
