I understand. Cause you guys were living in an authentic cultures since young schools work everything. But now. And Trump said like he bought Canada 51 States. Maybe it's a solution. I have no idea. Unless there's a leader in your country exactly expertised capitalism and figures that way a new economic model which determines a soul of New Canada? And that extremely justice a fair communication English profiles in Canadian community which everyone loves and accepts in conditions every races old residents new immigrants feel that comfortable no one argues about.

Trump is (clinically) a malignant narcissis. Hi personality needs to be fed by a constant flow of accolades from his chosen lackeys. He is so easily played by people whispering in his ear that he is being slighted (Zelensky and Trudeau, even if it is imaginary. It is ridiculous that America has allowed this to come about by their majority of incredibly ignorant voting populace. Starmer showed how to handle Trump. Grovelling and obsequious flattery. Noting else. We are dealing with a President of the USA who has a low IQ even lower EQ (think of a vindictive 10 year old). He has sly animal cunning for sure but that's it. We have 4 years of this moron, God knows what damage he can cause. The thing that motivates him ? Challenges, aspirational acts of benevolence ? Don't be silly tuckers and lovers, it's lovely money, as much as is endlessly possible. Is that the American dream? Is that what makes this English speaking nation tick. Looks very much like it.

Trump, you grumpy old Oompa Loompa

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

Only parents of 6 year old kids know how to speak to Trump.

From Texas, Trump is acting like a 5-year-old child. Canada has always been our closest ally; these tariffs are a slap in the face that will harm not only working class American, but it also spits on generations of close friendship and trust between our countries. This is lunacy. I pray for all of our Canadian friends and for all Americans.

If it sounds good to your ears, Trump will spit out without worrying about consequences with Trump style, Russian sleeper cell agent NOW just wake up JUST LIKE Dracula and wracking has already started by wracking our federal government with all the lies and exaggerations making mountain out of molehills! As usual Trump's style to get your attention BY making mountains out of molehills all the small issues that can be resolved. I hereby declare ENTIRE Americans, except Russian Agent Trump's accomplice, young immature, arrogant, charlatan young JUST 40-year-old young pnk JD Vance and vast majority of Republican Party members. Henceforth, be aware that Russian agent Trump is about wracking the US and free world order, he should be removed when the Democrat Party wins both House and Senate! US

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

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

Appreciate Trudeau's matured, courageous,sober, responsible speech. Trump and his pals in the white house now seem like the most immatured bunch of people compared to Trudeau, Zelensky, Macron etc. These young people are a great example for the old Donald.

Canada has NO CORE IDENTITY. \nCanadians sudden patriot sentiments are intentionally heartwarming but under the surface lies NOTHING becauee once the donald or daddy is gone, so is your patriotism. Fighting pipelines, shaming the population for 150 yr old mass graves, protesting churches... when trump is gone, so is your patriotism. Your. Too. Late.

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

Trump takes his policies from old South Park episodes because he is a joke

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

Really like young hood leadership like Canada president Trudeau as well French president Macron. US president Trump is old, crazy, imbecil, hatre, and dementia. He is turning friends become foes, and foes become friends.

I'm a 71 year old US citizen and I hate Trump. I didn't vote for him, nor would I EVER! I'm truly afraid of what our future holds. Please pray for us, the regular folks, not billionaires. We love you Canada.?? ❤

Summed up...trump just stupid...would you want your 80 yr old grampa running any country?..there you go then?

Trump. Is a Five Year Old, living in a 78 Year Old Body!

Trump believes the fairytale that America doesn't need it's old allies because Russia(Putin) would never attack America. Talk about all your eggs in one wonky basket!

POTUS Trump is making irreparable blunders on key geopolitical issues like Ukraine, Gaza, trade wars with friendly trading nations. He is systematically destroying the 80 years old US foreign policy and global standing as a democracy that was instrumental for building trust and confidence on USA at the global stage.\n\nTragically, under the so called MAGA mantra he will destroy not only US economy but also of the global economy with his scandalous and outrageous protectionist trade policies and geopolitical blunders.

All of Europe is on your side, dear Canadians. The majority of Americans voted for Trump, thus abandoning a centuries-old tradition of reason and ethical standards. But the free world still exists. Let's work together. Europe is here and Europe likes you. :)

Of course, this will hurt the US and Canada... just like the threat of tariffs against the EU will hurt us even more and all of Europe... that's the point. It's great for Russia. And that's the total point. It's an attempt to align the US with Russia and weaken everyone else in the process. Trump and his stooges are betting the US economy can hold out while hurting everyone else to help good old Putin and his goals. It's always been about Russia.

Trump is on his revenge tour ….get back at anyone who made fun of, bad mouthed , fought against his elections , tried to undo his policies . He is going after everyone , the Hunter Biden political problems , all the old problems , he is now extracting revenge on ALL who crossed him over the pass 8 years . .

Its all so obvious. Trump tanks markets. And his billionaire friends buy buy buy buy. And then trump lifts all the tarrifs! profit profit profit profit profit! He's old. this is like his last kiss good bye to his family and billionaires! Money money money. The whole world getting grifted.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

wow a leader who is about his people and us. makes trump look like a two year old who is throwing a temper tantrum.

I am not a fan of Justin Trudeau… but my goodness I am so proud of him right now. And I LOVE how he referred to Herr Trump as just plain old Donald — zero formality and respect. I am a firm believer in you get what you give. ❤️??

This ain't us, this is Trump and the old folks who are clueless about how things work in today's market. We do not stand with Putin - ✌️

Trump is so old and stupid He doesn't care about us Americans That Felon and Grapist should be in Prison. What a evil person

I’ve said it a million times. Waste of time to even reason with Trump communists and totalitarian ideas. Just ask anyone now who is 55 years old or older and grew up in - say - Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union. These commies will tell you anything … black is white, what you see it’s not what we see, it’s just not to be reasoned with. Exactly like the Canadian PM says, just trust him! They did all they had been asked to do and now the US gov says “no, you didn’t, no it’s not enough”. It’s a communist lie. If Canada did twice as much as needed, they would have said the same, lame lies. ? Lastly, this is all from the Soviet playbook, way before Putin and it’s still their “playbook”.

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.

Till Trump came in to picture Trdue was sleeping on drug/ illegal immigrant problems. Now with Trump in action mode trdue is forced to take some measurs and those actions he is discribing as proof of his intentions. In reality , if Trump was not there he would have continued to follow his old policies.

He is speaking to trump like a 5 year old! Hahaha that's how he has to do it lol.

Trump is no better than Biden mentally…we shouldn’t have old ppl in power of America

Trump is too proud and ignorant to change course, or admit he’s making an error. Trump thinks like a ten year old bully.

As a 72 yr old American in HI, I fully agree with Mr. Trudeau, and am profoundly turned off to Trump and his lap poodle, Vance.

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

I thought you were gone Trudy. We like you Canada but we don’t really need you. We can solve the problems we get from you in 15 minutes. This guy has no problem freezing protesters bank accounts, forcing people to scan QR codes to decided who eats at a restaurant, and government sanctioned beatings of peaceful protesters because they dare stand up for freedom. Canada wake up. Trudy is a good old fashioned communist. The more he fights back against Trump, the more I know Trump is right.

As a Canadian, Trump will regret this. I repeat regret this. I am 60 years old and l never saw this ever in my life. Trump called Biden a stupid president he should eat his words and take a long look at himself. Biden had much more class and respect for others. He is attending Putin bc Putin has dirty laundry on him. Trump and Putin are the antichrist but don't realize that GOD is in command always was always will be. Lord have mercy have mercy on us all. Protect us from evil. Grant us peace in this world.?

Explain to me like I'm a five year old why Trump would do this.

As an American I'm 60 yrs old. And I totally agree With Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau 1000%. I never wanted Trump. And let's make this clear by all means. To those that voted for his dumb ass I hope u you got what you wanted. HE DOES NOT GIVE A CRAP BOUT AMERICA ONLY PUTIN WHO WITH TRUMP BEING THE ULTIMATE ASS KISSER TO HIM TO DESTROY OUR DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE WITHIN IT. GOD HELP US ALL. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE PRETTY. TRUMP IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

62 year old American.... I stand with Canada and any other country that is fighting against Trump

As a 72 year old American veteran that doesn’t want to bare the pain of a trade war…\nBut I stand with Canada.\nDon’t back down from tRump!\nSAVA CANADA❣️

Trump is an old hagger , creazy minded person.

I'm no fan of Trudeau but... Compare this to Trump it's night and day. He looks young and healthy, talks eloquently and is intelligent. But Americans rather prefer an 80 year old obese criminal who paints his face orange and knows like 50 words. It would be funny if this didn't have horrible consequences for the whole world.

This is what a leader, a real leader…intelligent and savvy…looks like. When Trump looks into the mirror, this is not what is reflected back. The reflection looks like a four year old child, crying because Daddy doesn’t love him. It’s sad but we will be paying dearly for a child’s temper tantrum and very disturbing behaviors. Wake up United States, Congress, Republicans and Democrats, the entire News Media, and uninformed voters. This country, our country is at risk of going the way of all fallen dynasties…into oblivion. God help us all. Sorry dear Canada, so sorry.

I wish a foreign leader would call Donald J Trumps second administration exactly what it is. F*CKING CRAZY. We have let one 78 year old man literally single handedly destroy 8 decades of global cooperation and partnerships. My country has invited its own demise, but for the life of me I don't understand why or how we have fallen soo far in just 1 month

Not united state, is stupid old man Trump. alone. not USA or American peoples. and the stupid voters voted Trump KGB

AS an AMerican and single mom self employed 57 year old woman in AMerica I don't want this either and didn't support Trump or his agenda. I am trapped here and suffering like so many and preparing for complete financial collapse at this point. So sorry Canada. We didnt want this either
