"F___ Canada!"

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a strong rebuke of President Donald Trump's decision to level punishing tariffs on their country.
He cited the Wall Street Journal to criticize Trump, and call his decision 'dumb.'
'Donald, they point out that even though you are a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do,' he said angrily at a press conference on Tuesday.
Imports from Canada will now be taxed at 25 percent as Trump's tariffs went into effect on Tuesday.
'Today the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, and their closest friend,' Trudeau said. 'At the same time they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin a lying murderous dictator. Make that make sense.'
The United States imported $412 billion worth of goods from Canada in 2024 according to the US Census Bureau as they are the third largest trading partner with the United States.
'Canadians are reasonable and we are polite but we will not back down from a fight, not when our country and the well being of everyone in it is at stake,' Trudeau said.
Justin Trudeau spoke directly to the American people, blaming President Donald Trump for making the decision to level tariffs, warning it would hurt the country economically.
'We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally and we don't want to see you hurt either but your government has chosen to do this to you,' he said.
Trudeau announced that Canada would begin implementing 25 percent tariffs against the $155 billion of American goods, starting with tariffs on $30 billion of goods immediately.

Wow. Trudeau really bitch-slapped Trump there.
Justy....pretty sure Trump is NOT dumb! He sick and tired of American being taken advantage of!
Dumb move on his part. Trump games things out where guys like Trudeau & Newsome are tough guys in the moment
“I’m not like everybody says. Like, dumb.”
Newspaper: “Did you hear? He called President Trump dumb!”
CANADA IS AN ENEMY OF THE US.
You mean on top of the tariffs Canada always has on US goods.
I guess Turdeau doesn’t understand the concept that Trump wants to reduce the amount of imports from Canada. Wait until Canada watches all the auto manufacturing plants relocate to the United States.....
"F___ Canada!"
That attitude will come in handy when Trudy comes to Trump, hat in hand, begging for help.
If we are going to pay the cost of tariffs... why are other countries upset???
And why would they raise tariffs on us if it’s going to cost their own citizens???
Contradictions abound.
Ok then…I hope things work out for you Fidelito!
Trudeau isn’t even Prime Minister
He resigned from the job, and Parliament is out-of-session.
His liberal party is in the process of picking his replacement from among the top London/WEF controlled globohomo socialists who make up the Liberal Party.
We forget that Canada is still connected to the UK - and all that represents.
Trump has not.
I thought Trudeau resigned. What gives?
A country with a trade surplus like Canada is at an inherent disadvantage in a trade war in the long run. Trudeau thinks that in the short run, Canada will unite behind the Liberals and that pain imposed on the swing states of the upper mid west will force Trump to back down. Not gonna happen.
Yeah, No kibitzing, Justin. Saying a chess master made a “dumb” move, when you’ve earned your “dumb” credentials is, well, dumb.
Canada’s Deep State is an enemy of the US.
The question is whether or not Canadians are willing to do something about their Deep State.
I don’t see Candada as our enemy. I do see their current government as our enemy, though.
Has castreau ever complained about his sperm donor being a lying murderous dictator?
Didn't think so...
Putin is our enemy for a lot of reasons and no reasonable person would say he is friendly.
Canada is our ally but are they really friendly?
I say Canada is not really friendly and they are paid quite handsomely to be our ally with a predatory trade deficit.
Trump is saying to allies treat each other FAIRLY.
All Trump is seeking is for the United States to be treated with respect and fairness.
