As a Canadian I have no use for that useless pos Trudeau. Can’t wait till I never see the loser again.

Finally I can comment! Every Canadian channel has comments turned off because Trudeau is a hypocrite.

Canadians are awesome Trudeau not so much

I am a proud to be a Canadian! I have not bought anything American since this crap has started. Justin Trudeau, you have really stepped up to the plate! Well done! You have proved you do love Canada, unconditionally! ♥️♥️♥️♥️??????????????

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for leading Canadians to stick together and do what is right.

As an American, I am so jealous of Canadians. Your govt's got your back and you actually have people who can speak properly running your govts ? I liked Trudeau's speech and answers so much. He's being so honest

Well spoken Mr Trudeau. I am proud to be Canadian. I feel sad for both countries. Can't believe that no judge is declaring the National Security argument as unjustified. I thought this was not possible to impose this without voting it properly if national security is not a real threat under the US constitution... And the argument of trade deficit is such a weird concept. Would Trump agenda be more evil here, and use economic force to force Canada to annex them because they want our resources?

As a Canadian, I don’t always agree with Trudeau but much respect to him for this statement & the rest of our country’s leaders for getting together to navigate this storm!!!❤❤

Governor Fidel Trudeau Jr is hanging on to a job he no longer has support from the Canadians to hold

Why wasn’t Trudeau this mad when Biden shut down the keystone pipeline that impacted Canadians? Oh right democrat.

Prime Minister Trudeau is boldly hitting the nails on the head, and I admire his boldness and honesty as I've always admired Canada and its peoples. Trump is in the back pocket of the Russian dictator. His actions prove it to my satisfaction. Canada has been a staunch friend of the US, a real partner not just for economic benefits for both countries but for a democratic way of life. Canada is a strong democracy whose people are known for their open hearts and minds. I pray that this idiotic trade war started by a man who is subservient to Putin will come to an end. I say to Canadians, let us stick to our common values of democracy, free expression, peaceful borders, and our commitment to the greatest good of the many rather than the greatest good of the few and the Russian dictator.

Hats off to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau! This is REAL leadership! All Europe should stand with Canada now! Greetings to Canadian people from Romania! You will get over this!

Mr Trudeau \nbeautiful to hear how much you care for your Canadian. \nAs a American I'm I'm embarrassed how our leader talks to people.\nHe has no compassion and no respect for no one I'm embarrassed be an American with a leader like him?.

I am an American and in firm support of the Canadian people, but definitely not Trudeau! Please recall not only his assault against the truckers a few years ago, but his desired seizure of GoFundMe monies that INDIVIDUALS sent to the truckers! Perssure later required him to take his hands off. And I've seen videos of how badly he treats Christians. I do not support Russia or China, but I do consider Trudeau to be of the same ilk. I don't worship Trump and will be actively communicating with those who represent me in the US govrrnment to let them know my desires. I am hopeful that in Canada someone better than Trudeau very soon takes his place.

I'm Canadian. I didn't vote for Justin Trudeau, and - to use his phrase - it's not in my habit to agree with him, but this is spot on. Thank you Mr. Prime Minister.

Canada -- Congratulations to you for not supporting Putin's puppy. Trump's damned fool supporters deserve the results of their meanness and boundless stupidity. Too bad farmers, Cubans, anti-immigrant racists, holy rollers, misogynists, and fools. You go, Trudeau. Trump cannot be trusted in any way. Born damaged. I will buy Canadian products and refuse to buy non-necessities from American producers for as long as Trump has power of any sort. Trump is working for Russia and the Republicans are helping him. I don't forget those who attack my family. TRUMP WORKS FOR RUSSIA.

Justin Trudeau is planning his own attack on Canadian taxpayers on April first. He’s paid off our media to be silent about his huge tax increase coming. Currently his carbon tax on home heating costs are higher than the cost of the gas itself. Don’t believe fooled by this boy king.

So Trudeau calls Putin a liar and a murderous dictator but we all remember a few years ago, the same PM declaring is admiration for China's dictatorship. On a trip in Europe he even downgraded is own people while trying to suck up to the Germans. A few years ago Trudeau said that Canadians didn't really have an identity and announced that he wished to make Canada the first post national country in history. I'm sorry guys, I do not like the tariffs but I just cannot stand this guy!

Absolute sludge, Trudeau is hated by the vast majority of Canadians and is an incompetent WEF tyrant.

From France, I agree with the prime minister Trudeau. The heart goes with canadians.

I am a proud Canadian of Justin Trudeau ! The speech is direct, says what is to be said with absolute no ambiguity ! Buy Canadian from now on Donald !

Well spoken Trudeau. Good you and Canadian to support your government and stand up to Trump Administration (Bully).

Maybe Trudeau will come around when Canadians find out they've been duped by him.

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.

Stop the Cuba Boycott, Boycott Canada. Canada, You have nothing the US needs! Pound Sand. Trudeau you are not worthy to stand in Trumps shadow. If the Tariffs are a dumb thing to do why are you so upset? F the French Canadians and the French in general. Have a good day.

Trump really did accomplished something i didn't think possible. He got Canadians to support Trudeau.

Stupid comments here, see a clown like Trudeau and praising him because of his tan and tone, not knowing the slightest thing. He is not an actor; he is the PM of Canada. Hating Trump doesn't make this clown any better. Ask Canadians whether they think he is the next coming of Christ. Clown who has even stepped down because of his failures. Americans stop being ignorant.

I always thought trump is the Manchurian candidate . Slowly destroying within . Just surprised or not that ordinary American can’t figure that out. Trudeau was never have a good approval rating and now he have resigned from his party soon that he rating suddenly gone up because of this tariff. Good luck American . Stay strong Canadian , time to trade with eu

As a Canadian. We are already having a hard time im Ontario. Trudeau needs to focus on the rent prices, house prices, drug problem, car theif and FSRA that is costing canadian lots of money

I love Canadians but not this guy. President Trump is smart to do this for us. Trudeau is evil.

To all Canadians, as an American, it was so refreshing to see PM Trudeau stand up to the big bully who has some type of bromance with Putin. We feel he has something he’s holding over ?’s head. We also feel our election was rigged by muskrat. We live in a Blue state, Illinois, and we will suffer some things the ? felon we withhold from us. I don’t care. We’d rather be in a blue state no matter what. Please pray for us and all Americans who despise this man. Thank you.

Remember Trudeau is a STAGE ACTOR.. this is the same guy who has the absolute worst record of any Canadian Leader! Massive Deficits and Debt, Massive Crime, Homelessness Tent Cities, Out of Control Housing Costs, and Massive Corruption. Justin Trudeau is a CRIMINAL !!

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

Great speech, PM. Trudeau! You made me proud of being Canadian!

Paula Newton is a tory shill - you don't have to kiss Trudeau's feet to recognize he's responding to US aggression exactly as Canadians want him to

I’m Canadian. My family have always been Liberals but I’m not much of a Trudeau fan myself. For today, it doesn’t matter whether you like the man or not, Trudeau deserves a standing ovation for his speech and the actions he is taking. That’s what a leader of a country should sound like and react like. It’s going to be a tough road ahead for us but together we will pull through this. Stay strong my fellow Canadians, we got this. ❤

How is imposing a 25% tariff helping the canadian people exactly? Except making us pay even more in an already hard inflation context. \nYour own ego is blinding you, Trudeau.

Justin Trudeau is a fool who is playing a game that he cannot possibly win and will exponentially damage Canadian citizens while he blames the US government for his response which is exactly the same as the person he’s blaming

Love this look and confidence from Justin Trudeau ! I am sad to see you leave your title of Prime minister. We could use alot of good speech like the ones you are giving us lately. Speeches that makes us proud to be Canadians . Love and support from Montreal xox.

We have no Govt. Trump is dealing with a loser that has already resigned. We have had no GOVT since early December in Canada, because Trudeau put the Liberals before Canadians. Majority of our country doesnt want that fucking loser leading us in this mess, his words are WORTHLESS.

As a Canadian this is the first time I’ve ever agreed with everything Justin Trudeau has said, he was bang on on every point

WOKE Trudeau does Not speak for all Canadians anymore..Get Out Stupid !!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA , GOD SAVE THE KING...UNITE THE COUNTRIES FOR A STRONGER FUTURE...

wow al the delusional people on here amazing .Trump wants the tariffs to pay so americans dont have to pay taxes thats smart we should do the same and has everyone forgot that tirdeau doesnt like free speech .he is on the epstein list and his sister is tied to the picktin farm .and the war on drugs is a joke .it is worse than ever. proof is in the pudding people .trudeau is the enemy just like biden and all those like him wake up canadians .tirdeau funds hamas they are terrorists and war mongers .how terrible Trump wants world peace so does anyone with half a brain.im with trump. he is doing what many should have long ago .we need Trump here too

It's not always true Canada doesn't stand with a murderer. A convited murderer of former Bangladesh President along with most of his family members has been sheltered in Canada. Despite repeated requests from BD government to extradite him Canadian government especially Mr. Trudeau didn't bother to take any action. It's like kind of cherry picking!

Trudeau is a WEF globalist...Trump told them all at Davos....Trudeau destroyed the Canadian economy all on his own.

Canada is a drop in the ocean that is the U.S Economy. the U.S will not feel the affects of reciprocal tarrifs like canadians will. This is about pride of a single man. Rather than co-operate with Trump, Trudeau has signed a death warrant on his own country's economy.

Trudeau Gov.destroyed Canada all aspect of existing country.\nTrudeau treat Canadian citizens as conquered people. Trudeau acted the same way with USA to involved in election against Trump.\nCanadian paíd for enviroment to kill own economy to grow..\nNow ,For Canadian citizens is better to be state of USA not too much tax.more freedom,not discrimination the white Christian man. It is wrong to create hate against American what next - contempt latter degenaration.\nTrudeau want to made damage to USA. The best,after stop deliver hydro ,energía is develop produce,fantynol will be big problem\nI prefere Alberta Primer Schmit to find solution in talking deal.\nOther way is join to USA for better life for Canadian people, and better west global possibility against China\n.

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

This is who we are! So proud to be Canadian! Tres fiere etre Canadien! Bravo Justin Trudeau!??

Meanwhile canadian government labeled the trucker protest as terrorists and freezing their assets. Trudeau ?
