Trudeau now you're talking about the well-being of people in Canada what about when we had that thing where everybody had to get the shots you know the new normal since when do you care about the people in Canada?

Liberals of all western countries drove us apart and to do this bullshit lets be real here for a second. What Trump did at the Ukraine meeting is weakness? Ukraine is the epitome of weakness morons, they should learn to preserve their own assets while waging a senseless war since 2014 when Maidan happened. Clowns, your country giving billions away and what will you have in return back from Ukraine? Nothing, cause they looking for handouts. More use and benefits from Russia at this point then EU and Ukraine.

It’s been a while since Canadians have been this pissed off. Trump is losing the US’s closest allies and choosing Russia. How can Trump supporters see what’s happening to their country and accept it?? They will lose their freedom and democracy to KING Trump

Prime Minister Trudeau was more than polite and kind. As he knows, Trump is not intelligent, and a pathological liar, wannabe dictator, narcissistic fascist and poor businessman to boot. Trump has bullied, threatened and failed to pay thousands of tradesmen and contractors that have worked for him and wishes to hurt them further by extending and increasing tax cuts to individuals and institutions that have not paid their fair share of taxes and social security since the Reagan years. The allegations that Trump has laundered money for Russian oligarchs since his association with Deutsche Bank began are substantial and should be investigated.

I can make it make sense. Putin has tRump by the curls, tRump works for Putin. tRump has been groomed for this exact moment since the 1980s...

JIimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush Jr, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, agree or disagree with them they never destroyed so much in their time in office. In My 50 years of life I have never seen such a diplomatic failure. Canada, UK, Australia and the Eu have been our closest allies since ww2 and Mr. Trump is his maga disciples are heading towards what the Soviet Union and the old Warsaw pact countries couldn't do in over 50 plus years. Canada Stand strong, France and the Eu Stand strong, UK and Australia nothing but love and respect from a disgusted American citizen. Hopefully democrats can flip the house or the senate in a couple years, or some republican senators will get some intestinal fortitude to at least stalemate the senate to turn the madman into an essential lame duck president. At the point no white house representation is better then what Trump has in store. President Zelesky all the respect in the world, you're what a leader should be, and hopefully your true world leader friends will stand for what's right. Love and respect and apologizes to Nato Eu Ukraine and Canada. A majority of Americans are absolutely disgusted by what this country has turned into.

Now he turns around and becomes a Canadian patriot for 9 1/2 years he’s beaten us with everything he could. Canadians don’t need Trudeau and his collaborators to tell us what it means to be a Canadian. We aren’t at war with America and yes Canadians are patient, civilized and tolerant as has been clearly demonstrated since 2015. Now call a federal election.

I’m in Seattle and have a vacation home in British Columbia so go there often while renting out other days to other people. Wonder how the tariffs gonna affect this. For example if certain things need to be remodeled in my pad over in BC I usually order from suppliers in USA near the border since I use them for my home in Seattle too. I’m guessing it might get taxed now. Not sure how it will play out. I do know that initially tariffs gonna effect lot of people but do believe in general it will get economy better. I recently saw that Mexico been adding tariffs for years for certain USA goods (for example appliances purchased in usa from Mexico will cost another 27% etc) and it’s time for USA do similar things. Just hoping my burrito cost doesn’t keep going up. Was around 8$ several years back and now it’s 14$ in Seattle ?

@0:50 The wellbeing of his citizens have been at stake since he took office LOL

So after they got tariffed, now he suddenly cares about the Canadian people and the cost of living? Something he has done fuck all to improve since he took office? LMAO okay tough guy...

Castro's son is a joke. His country has gone downhill since he took office.

This clowns been destroying Canada since day 1 , nothing but lies from a weasel... in major cities we are having a o.d a hour from that filth and they sre doing NOTHING! Trump is doing the right thing and trying to protect u.s citizens, wish we had that up here\n\nKeep up the pressure ? merica

This is crazy! I’m so upset with Trump and his people for doing this to us in America and I completely understand that Canada has to do what it has to do since Trump is being a big bully.

?As a USA citizen, I'm ashamed.\nI stand with this message. \nI am part of those who will suffer a homebound SSI disabled poor American. I worked all my life since I was 14 years old. Most times, 2 jobs at a time, for nothing.\n? Godspeed to us all. We need it.

Well said Mr. Trudeau. Thank you for speaking out, because our elected officials are not reigning him in and we have no hope since none of them have the ability to speak out against what he has done to the world in a short time. The are afraid of his bullying and I'm glad you stood the ground to take care of your people.

Real Canadian here, born and raised in BC since the 80s, served in the 39 signal regiment. Make no mistake, Trudeau dug our grave, lowered our coffin. Trump only hammered the last nail.

Fewer people are vacationing south. Prime Minister Trudeau mentioned Old Orchard Beach as one of those places. A place where my family since early 1900s travelled to. That’s how long just my family has been connected with the US and my American cousins.

Stand up Canada! It's about time! We been selling our future and sovereignty to the US since WW2 thinking they are our friend forever. WRONG! Respect only comes from threat and that is why Trump is respecting Russia and China more than us. Stop buying their shit and let's find some new business partner, be it europe or china, let's be competitive again and let them see how it feels like with a non secure backyard

In the past, it took at least a century for humans to discover new theories, knowledge, create new innovation, or create any civilization. For example, Sir Isaac Newton announced Newton's law of universal gravitation in 1687.\n It took 200 years for Albert Einstein to publish his “Theory of Relativity” in 1905 and 1915.\n But the world today after the arrival of the first electronic computer in the middle of the 20th century (1940 - 1945), since then everything related to humans has been continuously developed at an accelerated rate!!!\n Human civilizations in the past took hundreds or thousands of years to develop before gradually collapsing in less time than it took to form.\n Now a day with the advances in technology and IT communications that we have today. We might be able to see a great empire collapse with in an overnight. Vice versa a great politicians became... savages that no one wanted in the blink of an eye!

In fairness to Trump, relations were worse in 1812, but not since….

ha ha, clever of Trudeau to butter up trump by lying and saying he's smart. you know that's the only takeaway trump heard in this whole speech. Fitting too, since all he understands is lying.

You have been doing a bad job since 12 years

didn't this idiot resign in disgrace? oh ya he did. his opinion is invalid. especially since he's canadian

Prime Minister Trudeau, you are wrong about 1 thing. donald trump is not smart. he is a TOTAL dumbass! You were probably trying to compliment him since he only responds well to those who kiss his feet, but don't do it. We Americans know what he is, know this is ALL his doing and think Canada is great!

Middle class people will claps, we hope our government will consider the upcoming recession which could hurt Anerican people, I personally crossing my fingers and convince myself think will go better since I as small business owner have not the knowledge which our politicians have, God bless America ?☝️ But one thing I know life goes on ?♥️? no matter what American staying together ??

The actions by the current American administration will hurt everyone globally… for what? A vanity project? As an American, this is so painful to see my fellow citizens choose such sweeping destruction of good relations between long term allies. It’s absolutely heart wrenching to witness this along with all of the other atrocities that have happened since January 20.

Maybe long industry will come back to the United States and all of the kids I went to high school with have jobs again they haven’t had since the late 2000’s

Since when does TeeRumpAssNik ( Russia's Frontman) care about what anyone says .

Canada is screwed! They have been since that globalist whimp has been in charge. Go Figure!

Why it took trump to get in the sit to do right , he been doing us wrong letting drugs on our border and etc and now since January you claiming since we upped on border control we suppose to forget the pass

Oh no Canadian products lmfao what are those exactly? Canada needs the US more than the US needs Canada. Gas prices are the only thing going to change in the US which will also hurt Canada since the pipeline is interconnected.

I can make it make sense. DTJ is owned by Russia. He has been a paid Russian asset since 1987.

All the so-called friends of USA to advantage of usa since 1960's.\n\nNow china is big and Russia is big. \n\nSo, USA has to let go all these so called friends to catch up with the growth of China

Canada won't back down at all they never did during the oppressive mandates they formed the trucker convoys and put a stop to that madness the U.S never did anything like that. Trump is just a terrible leader all he has done since in power is attack allies its not like he went after any of the people that were trying to get him convicted, this moronn as soon as he was voted into power he attacked Canada his closest ally ridiculous, I'm beginning to think Trump is an agent of some kind based on his actions so so retarded his actions.

Yup we( some of us) bought this S88t story of nationalist glory and thank god the Canada and the world sees and is standing up to this right wing nut circus. We the people of America have to fix this like a cancer it won't be easy and it won't be without pain to go around but just as we found in WWII and since we can not allow this type of depictive type of government to get a foothold. Stand tough hold yourselves above this mess so you can help us when we have worked through this.

This guy is a con artist who has handcuffed Canada's economy for a decade. The claim that Canada has had record growth and prosperity since the signing of the Canada, Mexico, U.S. trade deal is laughable. Canadian's standard of living has deteriorated for years.

They should impose tariffs on red states only, since they love their Cheeto commander so much

Blame Canada! ?? \nBlame Canada! ?? \nIt seems that everything's gone wrong since Canada came along\nBlame Canada! ?? \nBlame Canada! ?? \nThey're not even a real country anway\n\nBlame Canada! ?? \nShame on Canada, for\nThe smut we must cut\nThe trash we must bash\nThe laughter and fun must all be undone!\nWe must blame them and cause a fuss before somebody thinks of blaming us! ?? \n\n- south park

there is a reason why america can slap with tariffs we trade in USD and the fed can print USD. Canada cannot. So when you slap with tarifs Trudeau you will get massive inflation, America can always buy since we trade in USD. Meanwhile value of debt goes down in the USA.

Mexico stands with you since day 1 Canada?

The American media is just catching up. The Canadians have been planning since December after his first comment about the 51st date. To reject Americans who have voted for him and their states of products. This is just an extension of what the people are demanding from their political officials up therereally don’t know much about anything outside of America. Do we it’s because of the kind of media we have and now it’s completely tilted.

Up until now I was only going to boycott America until the orange shlt had vacated, but since Americans have done nothing to stop this the boycott will be permanent. Sorry, but 2/3 of you are 100% responsible for this happening and 100% of you are doing nothing about it.

The credibility of the US has been in the toilet ever since US populace in their infinite wisdom decided to elect this moron again.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

Sounds like Canadas done more to fight fentanyl in the last few weeks than Murca has since its existence. Interesting.\nLove that he called him Donald ?\nCanadas killing it these days. I hope we can get them into the EU, they're sexy ?

Paula Newton is a traitor. I don't think she could try to push her anti-Trudeau agenda. We're the most united across the country we've been since 9/11/2001. And yet she is calling him out because she's pro mega-corp? Take your bag, and retire lady. Treason is really ugly on you

Stay strong Canada. The people of the US are with you, since our President seems to have defected to Moscow.

Honestly I don't know why people hate on prime minister Trudeau I think he did an amazing job during a time when nobody could predict what was happening during covid and I am glad he is speaking out because in my opinion Trump has lost his mind I am not joking I think he either has dementia or dementia? and he has been making fun of Canada ever since he got elected again and what is wrong with Americans that they re-elected this person that made their country a laughingstock honestly it makes no sense to me❤ and from him saying he's going to make Canada a state of his we are bigger than your whole f**** country you stupid bastard? sorry but he makes me so angry and yes I am a proud Canadian❤

To be fair, Trudeau did the most damage to Canada since elected...

Wait a second... Is Russia invading North America? He acts like they are. You pay the $350 billion Canada, since Russia is knocking on your back door
