Dear Canada, here in Vietnam we know what it is to be bullied by your bigger neighbour. We stand with you and support you. Ship your products here and we'll buy them.

The New York Times reported: "He [Trump] told Mr. Trudeau that he did not believe that the treaty that demarcates the border between the two countries was valid and that he wants to revise the boundary. He offered no further explanation. The border treaty Mr. Trump referred to was established in 1908 and finalized the international boundary between Canada, then a British dominion, and the United States." - Trump is just like Putin. Canadians, elbows up!

Not expecting the States to back off, so Canada is developing trade with partners we can trust and respect. We’re done with this, and moving on.

I am an American and I love my country, but I totally support Canada on this one. We did them wrong. May they cause us so much pain that we will never vote the way we did ever again.

It is about annexation not so much the tariffs. It is that which has untied Canada

Our complete collapse of reputation among our closest alies is far more damaging than Tariffs.

I just want to remind our southern friends that a 25% import tariff means that it's you that will be paying 25% more.
