Trudeau would NOT help America by closing their border to the illegals Trump threatened him with Tariffs How much in Tariffs has Canada been imposing on US the highest than anyone else and this man is crying

Says the guy that told Trump when asked about the number one way the United States could hurt Canada would be through tariffs. PS - Oh no, $155B. What is that, like 4% of US imports? We will be fine. Go rip off someone else and fund your own defense.

Were tired of giving you and EVERYONE ELSE, money!!!!

Wow, some do t like Trudeau but that’s a leader. Has 100% the back of canada. It’s about canada not anything else. Trump worries about nothing but trump. That’s the difference between us and the greedy USA. Oh, you have picked a fight with the wrong people……trust me on that. We are a country that stands together. We haven’t divided our country like trump has, we stand together.

Trudeau is on his way out. Canadian need to find somebody else to lead. He is so incompetent.

Trump was never going to play along because his bestie over in Russia has already persuaded him to stay sweet and ignore everyone else.. Trump is also mad that everyone else gathered to support Zelenskyy and he hates that comradery because it hurt his ego.. DT will probably pull away from England, France and others that were at the Summit meeting because he's a man child that has a fragile ego. I am pleased to say however that at least everyone is seeing the so called christian man's true colours.. he's a modern day Hananiah of the bible.. a modern day Nebuchadnezzar.. who is ruled by the love of money, nothing else!

Trump is a disaster for the U.S., for Canada, Ukraine and almost everyone else...except maybe Russia, China and Belarus. \nI, as an American, will buy anything I can that is made in Canada.\n\nMy fellow Americans: take not of how an intelligent, well informed, honest leader sounds like on the world stage. Compare this to how Trump sounds. Let's wake up.

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

Now the tariffs is here,why you don’t cancel the army planes that cost us lots of money and go and fetch them somewhere else ,,,Darrell

First time this guy has jjsg stated facts and nothing else.. took 10 years but proud of you for Justine. All jokes aside, I’m glad he isn’t rolling over

Yano who else was an appeaser? Adolfo Hitler was . Is trump the new Hitler ??

Trudeau was voted out , in Canada....\nSomeone else, shouldn't be speaking for Canada..he leaves in April.....

The Orange Reich makes us the worst neighbor.\nWe fought it but couldn't overcome the vote suppression, per psychiatrists media brainwashing, and hundreds of millions billionaires spent on electing the Mad Orange Dictator so he would enrich them and hurt the other 99.9999997% of us and the world.\nCanada, please strike hard and call his bluff by making his supporters feel the insanity of his promises to hurt them and you. \nIf we can still vote next year, we'll switch the majority in Congress. \nThe majority of people here know you are a wonderful neighbor who has sent troops to fight with us in war, took in tens of thousands on 9/11, sent an extra Super Scooper to help during the LA fires, and been our best trading partner. \nI'm so sorry.\nP.S. Has anyone else noticed that MOD looks extra orange right now?

Canadians want trudeau gone.. and he resigned... but he's still in power? And calling someone else a dictator.. hope the Canadian courts decide that proroguing parliament to stay in power was illegal.

It’s clear that fentanyl is not in question, something else going on!

I remember when we had a president that could speak in complete sentences without any name calling and pointing fingers at everyone else. Canada, you are doing exactly what you do when you see a bully, you stand up and fight back. As an American, I’m so embarrassed by trump’s behavior but sadly I am not surprised.

I don't blame you! It's the only way to try to stop a BULLY! Too bad us U.S. citizens will pay for the consequences but I don't know what else will work to wake up our MAGA ???

Trump is a very smart guy?! Well everything else was true at least ?

Tariffs, customs - This is not a trade war, but honest business. And security and order in your own country are something else. He turned the cat over with its tail. He manipulates facts.

I love this.\nThis is how you talk to the country and everyone else with respect and honesty

If Donald doesn't go foward with this plan, how else is he supposed to help Putin destroy America??

canada exports 75+% of its overall products into the united states, it only imports 50ish% overall products from the united states of america. This is why the tariffs are in place. Agree or disagree, this is why trump is doing what hes doing. Our country is in shambles and we need our allies to pump money into our economy or else it will only get worse in our country. And both canada and mexico are outraged by the simple way trump is approaching this.

Like I've said before or two other blogs, this man should not be up there addressing CNN or any other network or any population. Whether it be Canadian or American. He has no right to be there. He is not the prime minister of this country anymore. He has no right to be making policies or to be imposing tariffs or doing anything else of the sort. Furthermore, he is also politically, unsavvy and ignorant. He in his running the mouth speech this afternoon. Insulted Donald Trump again by calling him dumb. I'm telling you that will not go very well with Mr. Trump and I wouldn't be surprised to see additional tariff percentage increased on the 25% already in place. Justin Trudeau is not a prime minister. He is a thug, an absolute idiot, a moron and any other adjective that you can find to describe someone who is totally and completely incompetent and incapable of implementing policy or running a country.

They are all in on it how else are they going to bring in one world government basic income,full on dictatorship!

Did anyone else get Dr Breen welcoming you to City 17 vibes?

I'm a taxpayer in the USA, who has also donated cold hard cash to Ukraine. I personally will not lick any russian boot, nor will I ask anyone else to. Slava Ukraini! Bless you Canada!

Nah, speaking like Americans would do something, those people will do a couple of TikTok’s complaining and nothing else. They are not and will never be able to strike against their awful system

Congratulations Mr. Trudeau, you finally sound like our Prime Minister should. Now start making this country self sufficient so we don't have to rely on anyone. No more selling off our Crown corporations our land and other businesses to foreign countries. Keep Canada Canadian and give jobs to born Canadians first. Stock pile our oil and gas for our use and lower the prices of these things so that transportation cost make things easier for business and personal enjoyment. Don't tax the farmer so that they can supply food to everyone cheaper. We should not be struggling in this country which has all the natural resources . The unnatural population growth has put a strain on the whole system and in some cases put us in danger too. The crime rate has increased in large part to your lax immigration system. All the businesses increased the prices of everything due to this unnatural population growth. Supply and demand is not working the way it is supposed to anymore. In a normal household we make plans and prepare for changes. You just said ok, let's bring people here and forgot about the preparations. Infrastructure first man. If your going to bring half a million people over here, build the houses first bro. Nobody in Canada should be homeless which is another result of poor preparation. The housing prices and everything else went through the roof in large part due to the unnatural population growth. Anyway, think first before you act just like in a private home. Good luck Mr. Trudeau and everyone else. I hope it's not too late to get this country back on track so we can all enjoy life the way we used to....Peace

Mr. Trudeau, as an American who does not support this American president, we are doing everything we can to fight our own president and his destructive policies. He is a criminal and a liar, and is unsupportable. I'm sorry so many of our people voted for this fraud of an administration. He plans to gut the US and steal as much money as possible before doing I know not what else. We are sick with worry and concern for ourselves. We hope we can sort this out before it destroys us entirely. Americans supporting this megalomaniac are fools.\n\nMr. Trudeau, thank you for your words.

Showing class, dignity, and eloquence. Unlike the one who curses , shouts, and creates havoc in the Oval Office and everywhere else; while his king wears a baseball hat tshirts, jeans in the Oval Office and not questioned if he has a suit . A country can’t be ran like a country club.

Trump can only be a Russian asset. How else can this insanity be explained?

IT'S PUTIN THAT'S RUNNING USA,,,IT'S ALL ABOUT RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA &???????????AMERICA... ENEMIES WITHIN....WAIT WHEN THE CLOWN trump SENDS OUR TROOPS TO FIGHT ALONG SIDE WITH RUSSIA IN UKRAINE.....DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY DISMANTLE INTO PIECES....ALL FOR PUTIN...WHAT ELSE THAT MORON PROMISES PUTIN TO DESTROY AMERICA?....USA IS 1732 ???????

But why did the president have to light a fire under Trudeau to keep our border more safe? As much as I hate trump for every thing else, this trade war is a warning for canadian govt to wake up and be more self reliant and add more trading partners

I used to think that the idea that Trump is a Russian asset was just a conspiracy theory. I am not sure of that now as how else to you explain why Trump is doing everything he can to undermine the USA? Why else would you cause a breech between the US and our allies Canada and Mexico? Why else would he destroy the infrastructure of our country through Musk and Doge? Why else would you stop all aid to Ukraine? Why would you stop cyber operations targeting Russia? Why would he set up an operation to humiliate the leader of an allied country fighting for its life against Russian aggression? Why would you send your vice president to Germany and have him insult our allies and not meet with the leadership of the country but rather meet with the essentially neo-Nazi Alternative for Germany? None of this--and many other actions--makes sense unless you begin to understand that Trump is actively trying to weaken our country to the benefit of the Russians. I know it is hard to believe but I can find no other explanation.

If you can’t take the heat in the kitchen get out Trudeau boi. Get out of office and get a real job like everyone else. Or you could just go back to Cuba and see your dad.

JT is usually the one screwing over Canada. Must be weird for him to talk about someone else doing it.

Dear CNN, \n The last time Trump went to Ruzzia to 'Negotiate' anything, he curiously left behind his Translation Team, his National Security Team, AND his Intelligence Team and walked into a room with Putin, (who had ALL those things with him). This resulted in D.J. getting pumped for info for around three hours. This 'Info' Putin has managed to use to great effect, as he entered into the Ukraine War, and now Donald wants to 'Negotiate' with Putin AGAIN on behalf of Ukraine?!? Trump doesn't even use the CIA for his geopolitical briefings, he actually uses 'Private Services' for his info, (at Taxpayer Expense) largely I'm sure, because anyone who is close to being Competent at what they do would 'KNOW' things, and would be correcting Trump, constantly, which he hates with a passion. On top of this there's Tulsi Gabbard who the Ruzzians themselves have publicly stated IS an Agent of theirs for the last Decade. It's for these reasons and more that I say D.J. is a Traitor to this Country for the love of money. \n How much more of an illustration does one require for a 'Worst Case' scenario?!? A 'Rogue Actor' taking control of the U.S. Government with full access to it's Nuclear Codes. It truly makes more sense to go Radio Silent with America, (for the time being at least) and co-ordinate with Mr.Zelenskyy as to how you will proceed. I would seriously be 'dragging my heels' on that Royal Invitation as well, as D.J. will completely misinterpret that to mean something entirely else! We in the U.S. are undergoing a COUP, plain and simple. No need to Soft Sell it going forward as Trump and Vance have knowingly delivered us to Ruzzia without so much as a single shot being fired. Thanks for the Post.

Trump just care about himself and his customers.He don’t care a thing about nobody else

Trudeau keeps saying Canada is the US’s closest partner and ally. Hasn’t the US proved in the last year and a half at least that it’s actually “israel”?\n\nPlus with the US in trillion dollar debt, and billion dollar obligations to israel, how else must they keep up? Tariffs on other countries! ? the art of the deal.

This is something Trudeau was looking forward to. He gets to tax Canadians for all his spending and then blame someone else.\nTrudeau just promised Zelenskyy billions of dollars and now he gets to take the Canadian taxpayers hides to pay for his reckless spending spree.

Why did people vote for Trump? ? They didn't even have to vote for Kamala, just vote for anyone else. ??

Our president is driven by greed. As long as his rich friends get richer nothing else matters.

Trump . Hey I know how we can all get rich. World leaders we are all in. America raise its Tarrifs everyone else raises their Tarrifs. Only Americans , Canadians and Mexicans pay the price . Not the Billionar oligarchs in control of are govronments ! Everyone in the US Congress are multi millionaires. Including Trump and Musk. They don't give one fuck about raising prices or inflation ! It just makes them richer.

As an American, I sadly stand with Canada bcuz our govt is just something else

You're too late, Trudeau. You should have responded back in November. When Trump mentioned it, but you decided to go hiding.\nNow it's your fault.Nobody else to blame but you\nAs a canadian, I am totally disgusted with your response to this!!

As an American I say good for Canada and anyone else who sanctions the us! Let Trump FAFO

Please, Canada, Europe, and whoever else band together. It will take a group effort to knock some sense into my country and it's voters.

no choice for Trump except to treat Canada like everyone else when liberal idiot sides with off shore idiots

Great speech trudeau. Problem, Trump will blame everyone else when failures occur. Top man Trudeau.

USA government is there to harm you and harm everyone else except the very elite.
