This is how a leader acts and talks. Trump is a screaming, bullying toddler in comparison.

We need Trudeau now more than ever. Canada has free medical, free dental for seniors. What a Class act. My grandmother worked for Trudeau senior. To think that Canadians want Mr.P is beyond beyond logic, especially at this time

This is a very sad day. Justin Trudeau you are and always be a class act and a very strong and great leader. Thanks you for your unwavering support for all of Canada.

Americans act surprised that Trump has already gone rogue…ignorance truly is bliss…so many Americans will lose their jobs because of these tariffs…Trump has yet to address the fall out of his actions… times are very scary.

Wow, thats what a real President/Prime Minister acts and sounds like, not like the Orange Clown.

when are all of you sheepeople going to realize that this media is offering only propagandized information. and their newscaster’s probably don’t even realize what they’ve been sold. That's why they’re so good at 4:38 selling us that garbage. I think it was Clinton that legalized us being propagandized. this man was shamed out of his Prime Minister position. he’s no friend to Canada and certainly not a friend to America. he’s been bought off and I’m sure he comes with a high price tag??????\nThe swamp is an ugly place. Maybe it takes an ugly acting man to clean it up. Go Trump! \nI’m turning off the fake news, it’s such a turn off the way they insult our intelligence. Wake up people!

Trudeaux is such a weak man that it’s amusing to watch him try to act tough. Why Canadians put up with this guy is beyond my comprehension. What he did to his own people like cutting them off from their own bank accounts is authoritarian

trump is a megalomaniac and he only cares about his own personal power and increasing it, at the cost of everyone and everything else. he is acting like a russian agent.

#1. Trump postponed so that Canada wouldn’t literally freeze them out by cutting off energy. Now that winter is ending it’s game on\n#2. If Trump wanted to start a war with Canada he needs congress. The only way to get them on his side is Canada to poke the US in the eye.\n#3. Quit talking about Fentanyl without pointing every finger at China. \n#4. If you like how Trudeau is acting now, after 9 years. That’s just a politician who knows they won’t be re-elected. He still has to protect his party though. Too little too late

Trudeau says a bunch of words.... great job Canada.\n\nAmerica acts. \n\nstop talking. do something.

Let’s goo Trump we in for some serious entertainment ? why don’t you state how Canada pays less for US goods compared to the other way around. People act like Trump is doing this for no reason ? especially liberals who know nothing and I’m saying this as a moderate

Not blistering enough. By saying that fentanyl is the “supposed legal reason” for tariffs, what he really means is that these tariffs are a criminal act.

Quite acting like a teenage boy who is getting his allowance taken away.

I never thought I would be more supportive of a government imposing tariffs on us than my own government, but hey Trump aligning the US with Putin and starting unnecessary and harmful trade wars with our allies is moronic and treasonous. The GOP used to be the party of free trade. That was literally their main plank for 40 years, and an idiot comes along who doesn't understand basic facts, such as how tariffs work, imposes them willynilly and vindictively, and the spine-challenged Congress rolls over without so much as a whimper. Meanwhile, an illegal immigrant from South Africa fires the people looking after our nuclear weapons, because he's also an idiot. And their fans lap up their clear treasonous acts.

25% tariffs on 0.05% of our exports and this guy's acting like the US will be done in a week! Lmao. What a goofball but we already knew that. Fearmongering at its finest. Canadian politicians desperately need this wake up call.

Kind of wild that Trudeau could have actually had a shot at winning another election because of how insane the USA has acted.

As a Canadian this lying fraud drama teacher (look up why he lost his job) needs to be removed from office. Call an election and stop your pretend tough guy act. Stop sending our money to your money laundering friends. The real losers are Canadians our economy has been destroyed by this fraud.

He’s a class act! Love and proud of being a Canadian and feel sorry for those who voted for this.

Justin, where have you been now? That's how a Prime Minister acts. You should have done this a long time ago. Have a backbone and keep it. You made a lot of Canadians proud of you today.

What a prick. Acting like putin is a criminal and dupporting that teprobate killer zelensky. Outrageous. And outrageous trying to pretend the US is evil. Go ahead canada, kiss his butt. The US will dirvive better than canada. And hes trying to subvert the US citizen. But he doesnt want to do crap about the border. His own nayives suffer kidnaping for himan trafficking constantly. \nTrudeau is a woke lefty and a little tyrant. We arent hust talking fentanyl here castro jr.

From Italy, i stand with Canada , EU and Ukraine. The US has been hijaked by a foreign asset that is doing anything in his power to destroy US economy and relations , any other American president than truly want the best for his nation wouldn't act like this, that's EXACTLY what US adversaries want.\nHopefully the remaining non brainwashed Americans act soon and stop this national security threat before it's too late.

He does not speak an honest word. The tone and cadence of speech is so scripted and acted, at least we get to see Trump how he really is, this is a wolf in sheeps clothing. Zero authenticity.

This is a real president of a country, not like that who is nearly 80 years old but acts like a 8 years old clown.

I am from Europe. Lithuania. I will say the opinion that is dominant in my country: Ex President Joe Biden was not the sharpest knife in the drawer because he is of a respectable age, but he was a smart politician, he respected his neighbors and the all of Europe respected him. Trump destroyed everything in one month, he acts like Putin by attacking his neighbors. We are stand with Ukraine and Canada. I hope one day to visit Canada for incredible natural beauty. ( if we Lithuanians don't have to go to war with Ruzzia )

Justin what you're describing has been our whole lives and we are ready for change don't act like you're going to punk us into some other situation

Trudeau is using this Tariff war as a political opportunity to act tough. This action will cost Canadians dearly.

Any time I hear any leader of any nation other than the United States and Russia, I hear so much confidence and knowledge behind their voice. As a U.S. Citizen, born in Florida, I am HUMILIATED and EMBARRASSED by the filth that is running both my state and my country. I have never seen America act so depraved and immature and WEAK.

We have a petulant child and his evil sidekick running the country and it breaks my heart that their acts are hurting good, kind people, including our wonderful friends to the north. It is my hope that the GOP will find its spine and do something to stop Trump from further damaging the country, our allies, and the world.

Remeber this guys taught acting at a high-school

We're not your friend or your ally anymore after you committed this unprovoked act of war against us. We won't forget what you did even if Trump chickens out again - America is responsible for this. Enjoy having Russia as your ally instead.

DEAR PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU, I AGREE THAT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN FAIR TO ITS ALLIEDS AND TRADING PARTNERS AND THAT WE HAVE TO ACT IMMEDIATELY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES. \n\nI HAVE TO SAY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CANADA OR EUROPE EVER TRUST THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT HAVING SOME CONTINGENCY PLAN, KNOWING THE KIND OF TRAITOROUS MENTALITY AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS HAD, THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR POCKETS AND MAKING MONEY AT THE EXPENSE OF THE WEAK AND THE GULLIBLE COMMERCIAL AND POLITICAL PARTNER. \n\nONE THING I DISAGREE....., THAT IS CALLING THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT MURDEROUS, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NATO AND ITS BRIGHT IDEA OF ANNEXATION OF UKRAINE TO NATO KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD BE BREAKING AGREEMENTS ESTABLISHED DURING THE COLD WAR OF NO PROLIFERATION OF NATO, IN FACT, NATO STARTED BREAKING THAT PACT WHEN IT ANNEXED FINLAND AND ESTONIA. RUSSIA KEPT QUIET, BUT NOW NATO TRIES TO ANNEX UKRAINE, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW FOR RUSSIA, BESIDES THE BLATAN MISTREATMENT OF RUSSIAN-UKRAINIANS BY THE UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT. \n\nNATO USES DEMOCRACY AS A PUNCH LINE, WHEN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS A DIRTY WAR FUELLED BY ECONOMIC INTERESTS AND GREED!\n\nMR. PRIME MINISTER, DO YOU KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS?.....IT'S MR. ZELENSKY WHO HAS ANNIHILATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF ITS OWN PEOPLE, UKRAINIANS WHO WERE USED AS CANNON FODDER....AND NATO THE INSTIGATORS OF THIS WAR.\n\nTHE WORLD CANNOT BE THAT BLIND TO NOT SEE IT!!!

Thank you! This is how a leader should speak and act!!! I am on your side Canada. I am so disgusted with our so called “leader” and government. I, along with many others, did not vote for this despicable idiot called Donald Trump.

for Canada to even act on the baseless fentanyl accusation of that moron is just feeding to his ego, apart from addressing the american people and that moron AHEAD of the canadian people just appear you are agreeing to his claim of america first! NEXT time address your people first then america second if not third or fourth jeeez

This is how a GREAT LEADER of the GREATEST FREEDOM WORLD should act!

I am so overwhelmed by the fact that I am powerless against my own governments idiotic actions that completely destabilize the world. Please understand that over half of Americans are just as shocked as Canadians, and we love you as our neighbors. We let a ruthless dictator brainwash our vulnerable and uneducated and exploit every crack in our system to get here. I’m very scared for what’s to come and it sucks so badly that we all have to pay for an egrogious act of an elderly nepo baby that doesn’t understand how government and the world works.

Do Americans understand what will happen if Mexico and Canada unite to organize a boycott against America? Do Americans realize their president is acting as a proxy for the Russian government? What more do people need to know to realize that their president is a Russian operative.

Trump and MAGA are acting like rebellious teenagers on world stage

Lol pretty boy wants to act tough

we Canadians despise this blackface Trudeau \na little info on this socialist mascot \nJustin Trudeau's corrupt and unqualified government has increased the Canadian federal debt by more than all previous Canadian governments in history combined.\nHis track record displays complete incompetence, with literally no substantial accomplishments in eight years. He is morally empty, completely corrupt, and ignorant. His arrogance is disgraceful, but it's typical behaviour for narcissists.\nHe has legalized hard drugs and issues them out for free. He encourages citizens to end their lives if they feel depressed, by promoting his assisted dying program. He has also increased the catch and release of repeat violent offenders.\nHe Used the Emergencies Act to Lock Up Protesters and Freeze Bank Accounts\nHe Has Multiple Cases of Direct Illegal Interference with the Justice System\nJustin Trudeau is a master of failure. Turn the page, shut down the committee, fire the Attorney General, throw fellow cabinet ministers under the bus, lie, shift the blame, and accuse your opposition of the very crime you're committing.\ni can keep going

In summary: Trump, A flaming fool, has acted a fool, with dire consequences for the rest of us.

Not for the trade war but never going to forget that Trudeau acting like he cares about Americans is a laugh when he stood against us and in defense of forced jab, even seizing people's funds backing truckers

I know a lot of us Canadians have tired of Trudeau politically, but he has my vote for being a class act diplomat on the world stage

What a joke. A Swifty acting like he‘s tough. The days everyone took advantage of the United States are over

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, for your courageous and truthful words. U.S. citizens know Canada isn't acting against U.S. citizens, but against the U.S. Federal government as well it should. Canadians are lucky to have you in your role. I wish we here in the U.S. had someone of your caliber in the White House.

Thank you PM Trudeau. \nMany of us here in the US are seemingly are without representation and voices. And many if us realize you are only taking actions only in response to these acts by our current bad actors in positions of power.?

Such an elegant speaker. So Adult!! Not like the “old infant” we have here in the states “acting out.” And ruining our country. We have a child in the oval office, throwing tantrums. We are doomed as long as he’s there. We stand with you, Canada!

Wake up Countrymen! Listen to this dignified, direct and truthful Canadian Prime Minister! Act now!

Justin Trudeau's drug policies in Canada have been a disaster and now he pretends he is concerned about Fentanyl [a member of the class of drugs known as fentanyls, rapid-acting opioid (synthetic opiate) drugs that alleviate pain without causing loss of consciousness (analgesic). Fentanyl depresses central nervous system (CNS) and respiratory function. Exposure to fentanyl may be fatal.] going into the United States. He is a lame-duck Prime Minister on his way out of political life let alone public office as Prime Minister of Canada. His poll numbers were miserable and he was not supported within many in his own cabinet because of his divsisive decisions with Alberta, female MPs and hypocritical and harmful actions and words as well as broken promises to the Canadian Tax payers.

Without a doubt Putin has some dirt on DJT for him to be acting this way. He’s putting his ego before his country. Sickening.

Worst PM Canada has ever had! He has destroyed our beloved Country. To little to late you POS! You should have been dealing with these problems during your ten years of destruction. Now you act? What a gaslighter??..
