I thought Trudeau resigned ...

i thought he quit that job lol

I don't think President Trump thought this Tariff thing through. 25 % Tariffs seem exorbitant to me.

Everyone needs to remember that Canada and Mexico are both Americans to. Different countries, but the same continent. And oh...I don't believe that the United States electected the person that the thought they did. If you cannot defeat a nation that is far more powerful than your own nation, how will you accomplish it then. The country has been compromised.

Watching this speech, makes me so envious of Canada. Such a thoughtful and well prepared speech by an honorable leader.

I wish we had a President as articulate as Trudeau, someone who can express coherent thoughts and speak the truth without acting like a mob boss!

As long as you don't take Americans Truckers bank accounts you imbicile... Go away..we thought you resigned already

Listen B 4real everyone. President Trump had 2c all his allies back him. Defend him. During President Trump's campaign, he gave clear instructions on these plans. Some 4 the citizens.

Sekkle urself. 4 years to stop a war???Maybe them 2 can't do no good in the ? of the past!!! WAR GAMES are almost OVER.??

Not even in my dreams i thought i would see this day.. other countries were envious of their relationship

As an American, really embarrassed, ashamed, and disgusted by and for my country. Haven't thought too highly of Trudeau before now but good for him for having some balls.

As an American who opposes - STRONGLY opposes - the Trump administration and everything it stands for, I am sorry for what our country's government is doing to the rest of the world but especially to our oldest, closest allies. \n\nThe MAGA faithful will remain faithful even as the prices of virtually everything goes up and up and our economy tanks. They believe what comes out of Trump's mouth no matter what it is, no matter how obvious reality proves him wrong. Those of us who know what Trump really is have known what he's really about since the beginning. He's about himself and nothing more. His every move, his every word is about further enriching himself and patting himself on the back for his greatness.\n\nHis election to a 2nd term (and maybe more if he decides to ignore our Constitution) will be written about in the history books and it will not be favorable. This is what he wants, though. He wants to be thought of as an influential figure. Well, he is that. But so was a certain little Austrian monster who is remembered with great shame and disgust.

I thought the Incompetent Trudeau resignation was in effect ?

Who is this guy? I thought he already got voted out of Canadan office

I thought bro resigned?

Canadians are great ppl.A thought through and intelligent speech based on real facts .

As an American, I always thought Justin was a respectable guy. At this point with republicans being pussies, I’d rather Canada just buy America.

Who would have thought the fall of America would come from Canada.

And why is he just now showing his face??!!! He waits until today to show his face! You should have thought about this last week Trump already gave u too many chances!!!! We will have American made everything so keep your crap in your country. U need is more than we do! And Trump would say the same thing to you!! ??

why couldn't america get this guy? he's leaving office soon, maybe American could get him...just a thought guys.

You cant argue with a well thought out, sensible, and honest message. Bravo Canada! I speak for the vast Majority of Americans when I say that we value your friendship and look forward to a healthy and prosperous relationship moving forward.

Who would have thought that electing Trump could cause the whole world's economy to crash. Look at Trump's business record and there is no way that he would blunder us into a bankruptcy. Just don't look into his casinos, university or airline business to name a few.

Cry cry cry oh Canada....especially you The master Embezzler Trudeau...I thought you were done, leave already...sick of your voice & stupid elitist smirk

I thought this guy was supposed to be weak and anti-Canadian? Maybe we should back off this name-calling and look at facts rather than your opinions?

So we'll thought out and spoken. I have never been so embarrassed to be an American. I truly hope someone puts Donald Chump out of OUR misery SOON!!

I thought this douche bag was stepping down?

From Germany: All my thoughts and love to the Canadians and US citizens, who did NOT vote for Trump. There will be hard times come to us. Let´s stay together.

Australian here and Canada have you in our thoughts! Wonderful speech!

I’m American but I stand with everything he said!! trump and the republicans are siding with dictators and continue to lie to them about everything….I never thought as an American… the supposed leaders of the democracy free world….would really allow a felon to destroy our country and make us TRAITORS siding with DICTATORS ?

Justin, I thought you already resigned? Why you still speaking? But anyway, good luck to you. What Pres Trump request is not a rocket science. Well, you tariffs USA ?? as well, we just reciprocate the deal.

I thought the fentanyl originates from China, yet Trump's tariffs on China are 10% vs. the 25% on Canada and Mexico. Why is Trump sucking up so hard on Russia and China?

I thought he left because of corruption?

Intelligent, thoughtful, polite, shows empathy and compassion, truthful, a statesman... and even good-looking. Pretty much everything our guy isn't.

I thought this clown resigned

I am Canadian and very much dislike Trudeau but I have to admit, this was a well thought out speech.

I thought he resigned?

I thought he was gone already.

lol, CNN is a bunch of lying haters! US didn't lose anything! I thought this douche resigned. Zelensky is the dictator, Justine! You'll fold the moment Putin says boo! You already charge us more, so we'll do it right back. We'll see

I thought this dude was fired already??!!???

It's such a whiplash to see a well educated, thoughtful leader like Justin Trudeau speak ... then Trump who is a blubbering baby who can't string a fully coherent sentence together to save his life.

This is exactly what Trump wants to destroy America!!!! to bring on techtocracy or maybe just to make his allies in Russia happy.. It's either that or he is the dumbest president in American history... I've never understood why anybody thought that he gave a damn about anybody but himself or was capable of doing anything that would benefit the American people. But here we are.. there was voter suppression at the very least. It's hard to know what to believe about all that. But I do know many people regardless voted for him. 30% did not vote. Which I do understand. As there is a genocide happening.. but at this point, I have to believe that even amongst the majority of his supporters he is not supported by the majority, major majority of the United States. The republican Congress has shown their true colors of being anti-constitutional . But they are redeemable. Do the right thing if you are in government if you have any power at all, stand up. And for the rest of us, Americans including the ones that voted for Trump let your voices be heard. Before we become something similar to Russia. And I go to prison for this comment.

Wow someone that can actually articulate a well thought out out sentence. Something the current dictator in the White House is unable to do.

If Trudeau had been strong and forceful on all our problems in the last 5 years, he would still be Prime Minister. i think he got caught up in his own self importance, instead of running our country for the good of it's people. I have wanted him out for the last 3 years, but todays speach to the US, Trump and the Canadian citizens showed a strength that i thought he didn't possess. he finally grew a set and it looked good on him. just saying it the way it is.

As an American I thought voting for Trump would be better then Kamala but I was wrong, if she won I don’t think we would be going down hill as clearly as this.

I stand with Canada, Mexico, and Ukraine. Wow Trump -- just when we thought you couldn't stoop any lower. How dare you do this to us and our allies.

I never thought I’d wish I lived in Canada but I do TODAY!!! Trump is a LIAR & his followers are believing the nonsense even with the facts in our FACE!!

I thought he was stepping down , Canada do what you must!

In a sense I know why (optics), but in another sense, I don’t. Why do so many insist on retaliating against Trump’s tariffs with more or higher tariffs of their own? I think it’d be so much more effective if someone said, “You know, we’ve thought about this, and we have come to realize that tariffs are really bad. So starting tomorrow, we will respond by getting rid of all our tariffs. This will make everything we import more affordable. It will make us richer. We hope other countries will join us! If America insists on making everything they import more expensive, lowering their standard of living, that’s their prerogative and problem!”

Make it make Sense? I thought this Guy Resigned ??? you failed Trudont!

Trudeau is wrong on one important. Yrump is not a “very smart guy”. He has the intellect, emotions and thoughts of a very spoiled, bratty and angry 11 year old. He wants to be a superhero, but is actually a Creature from the Greed Lagoon.
