As a Canadian, Never confuse Canadians politeness with weakness. Canadians are united from coast to coast behind everything Prime Minister Trudeau said and we will fight and survive this economic trade war by President Trump.

Canada you are in a pickle because of your government's ignorance America is your trading partner you cannot survive without us we have too many trading partners wise up little man

My recommendation for Canada is to trade and work closely with China and Mexico. It could raise more jobs and minimize the loss from the trade war.

Hello from Germany ??! Let’s do trade on gas, oil and more! (Germany and Europe) I must say: great speech and with all respect ? Canada ? was represented here, even his ratings are not good. But this was a historic speech and address which no other leader in Canada do better ??

Justin Trudeau is a parasite...he caused 86% food inflation, causing millions of Canadians to have to rely on food banks, while Trudeau spent $81k of Canadian taxpayers dollars on groceries for himself this year alone...Trudeau underfunded Canada in relation to NATO, underfunded Canada in relation to NORAD, ticked off Trump by being rude to him in the past so that now Trump launches an economic trade war against Canada cause he just wants to hurt Canada to hurt Trudeau. Yes, Trump is an absolute economic imbecile as this trade war will cause Great Depression 2 in America and Canada (unless he invades which I think he will in some years) but the thing I hate the most about this is that Trump makes Trudeau look like the good guy in all this when Trudeau ruined Canada beforehand...all Trump needed to do was SHUT UP and let the Canadian perpetual liar LEAVE office...now we all pay the price for Trump's hatred of Justin Trudeau :(

the US didnt launch a trade war you stupid fux.. we have had a trade DEFICIT with Canada and just about every other country for YEARS. Trump wants reciprocal trade. congratulations Mr. Prime Minister you just dug your own grave. Canada cannot survive without the US.

The US didn’t start this trade war. An idiot in the White House did. \nHe gullible MAGAts might be supporting him now but that sting is coming directly back at them.

All Trump asked them do was protect their border and now we’re having a trade war with tariffs ?

Dumb stupid trade war. Never forget, Trump started it! Regardless of what maga will say in the next few weeks. ?

Looking in from the UK Trump has just gone 100% rogue for the west and 100% for Russia. By splitting USA V Canada V Mexico trade which he signed of in his first term he has now supplied Russia with the split they wanted. USA power has always been the number of allies it has around the world now it is splitting from them and joining Putin which makes Putin very happy. America is weaker and that is just dandy for Russia China Iran and North Korea President Che will be moving forward with his plan to attack Taiwan and then watch America as it has no computer chips for all the industries tied to super computers cars planes ect.

Trudeau can either kiss Uncle Sams ring or Uncle Sam's ass. It's up to him. I say raise it another 25%. If Canadian leadership is so great they dont need trade with the U.S. right? So fk off. Lets see how well you do?

You can say whatever you want when Canada made money from trade deficits with the US of over 60 billion a year.

How soon can the world start trading oil and gas in Canadian dollars. It might be less problematic.

HEY CNN, TH3 ONLY THING BLISTERING IS THE BILLIONS TRADE IMBALANCE YOUR PRESIDENT IS FIXING, WELL ACTUALLY YOUR FAKE NEWS 1S PRETTY BLISTERING TOO

trump's trade war against Canada is stoooooopid.

America first babe, go trade worh someone else will survive without you can you survive without us….good luck bit

even though we are rivals in hockey, we love you because you gave us this sport, come trade with Europe as partners and allies. Sending hi from the Czech Republic!!

Trump is such a freaking idiot!! He’s probably watching this saying, “pick a language we did.” What a moron! A trade war seriously. Never thought I’d see this.

Ummm maybe we shouldn't trade with Canada at all

There's a trade deficit with Canada.....if you actually think US will be worse in the long run compared to Canada, you would not go on TV like this Trudeau. You would just tariff

Programmed to crash ! Your turn now ! Think about third world countries Non stop trade wars

Am I missing something here, the United States is at a trade deficit with Canada, why wouldn’t they place tariffs on Canadian goods to equalize that deficit?

Woke died 11/5/2024 when are you leaving treaudump, you think you can win a trade war

Ditch the US, Europe and Asia will take your trade

The really sick thing is that it was trump who signed the Free Trade Agreement himself in his first term! This is part of trumps project 2025, put the Canadian economy in shambles to make it easier to ‘annex’, he has a God complex, he will even ruin his own economy so he can fix it before the mid-term election, so he will be a hero! He is a vindictive person who will not honour what he agrees to, he throws out accusations and insults with a sneer and wants to be Putins friend! So many Americans are horrified by their Governor trump! He wants a military base on the Northwest Passage, that is why he wants Canada!

The problem with Trudeau, is that he bluffs real hard about:\n- the US being dependent in Canada.\n- Canada's trade with the US for the past decades is nothing but just an act of friendly favour to the US.\n- That the US lifeline hangs in the charitable hands of Canada.\n------\nWell, in reality though, this is not the case.\nThe coming weeks, months, and years will speak by themselves.

Incorrect! Our moronic president and his goons launched a trade war.

CNN, is there a reason why you are not equally posting Mexico's response to Trump's tariffs? Mexico is the US'S number one trading partner, and these tariffs will equally effect US consumers. There are now apps that translate from Spanish to English, and subtitles in English that appear at the bottom of the screen. As have been done with other languages on your program

Hey hey hey. The United States didn't launch a trade war. Donald Effing Trump and his Republican lickspittles launched a trade war. Most of us in the U.S. are sick to our stomachs about this attack on our wonderful neighbors to the North. Let's keep the blame squarely where it belongs. Trump, Vance, Rubio, and the list goes on from there.

I was very disappointed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While I have always been pressed by his superior leadership record and skills especially with his spectacular response to the impending tariffs by travelling to UK and Europe and talking about trading with Europe and East Asian countries.\nWhat a disappointment when he called Putin a murderous dictator. Justin, let’s look at the record of your friends in the West. USA has over decades bombed and killed millions of Muslims in Arab countries. Today the murders continue to go one without a peep from you or your western leader friends. In the last week the US has bypassed Congress to ship billions of dollars of bombs to Israel so Israel can with these US bombs cleanse Gaza. So Israel can steal the Palestinian lands so Trump can built a resort and hotels in these stolen Palestinian lands.\nSo what about Ukraine? Same story, different tactic. NATO with your consent poked the Russian bear for decades before Russia, whose warnings about NATO expansion went unheeded. Russia had no choice but to fight a proxy war with Ukraine as US kept on shipping dollars and weapons to Ukraine ‘to weaken Russia’. When you won the election, Justin, I thought that a younger Canadian whose father was one of the most independent thinking leader, that you would take a history lesson and realize that the US foreign policy over decades has been the cause for so much complicity in so many countries around the world. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs and get your thoughts sorted out.\nListen to Ilan Pappe to know how the country you hug and kiss has murdered and stole Palestinian lands for over 7 decades. I have not once heard from you that Israel should be called out.

It's not a trade war. We are just recouping what we have lost do to the lack of border control on your side, just like Mexico did to use. We don't need you, you need us and our protection.

I'm a proud Canadian, and I'm very proud of our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. We did not want this trade war, but we fully support it. We have been attacked and blindsided by our best ally and friend. Things will never be the same between us! Our former relationship is over. Personally, we have canceled a 3 week road trip to Florida, we will not buy american products in our grocery stores or pharmacies. You have made a big mistake, America. You will also suffer, as will we. But we are tough and stubborn. How dare your gov't try to wreck our country after how we stood beside you for 100 years through 2 world wars, plus Iran hostage crisis and 9-11, among other events. We will not forget what you have done to us. All this, while you kiss putin's ass. You are disgusting! ????????

There is a trade deficit where we lose billions of dollars to Canada. People who don't understand all the facts need to stop. He's just been exposed, and like the criminal Democrats of the United States, they will never admit it, they just keep digging in their heels.

I know a lot of people are tired of JT. And they have their reasons. But as a Canadian, I have to say that he did a good job addressing this issue. He literally came across as a concerned Canadian citizen that doesn't want this trade war. He truly doesn't. Nobody does. I gotta give props to JT on this one. He may have made some mistakes, but he did a good job addressing these terrible tariffs.

There you have a good leader. Take notes! \nI think you will ride through this Canada - now trade with us in Europe and you have friends over here. You are wellcome here.

I think the whole Eu stand behind u Canada, and let's make a bigger trade and let Usa stand by itself. And it's a sad day for the people of US. Because soon Usa will be alone because no one can trust that country leadership anymore.

What a joke why is he still involved in politics. We need an entity to crackdown on fentanyl, homeless, and migrants to stop tariffs and being cooperate trade. Not spend more money towards more deaths in Ukraine.

Trudeau is going to be impeached. Watch..he doesnt have the political backing. Now he is fully engaged in a trade war with the largest economy in the world. He won't be PM after this trade war. watch and learn

No winners in a trade war??? It's about who needs who more PLAY BALL 45-47 GANG

Why is the left against fair trade? Why do you believe that it's okay for other countries to put high tariffs on Americans but we shouldn't do the same, why?

Eye for eye, that is all Trump wants. There is no trade war. Trudeau should not act as an offended abandoned bride.

Turdo, is this really a trade war??? It's about tariffs and, first and formost about securing the borders. U shite disturber

Trump's trade war in 2018 almost bankrupt the dairy industry.

As a Retired California Firefighter I am horrified with what our President is up to. I will support all you do protect yourself from our Country's complete moronic trade Policys. I will always vote to support Democratic values and fight this horrible regime of a government our Republican party has put into office that has ruined our Country's name around the world.

We aren’t fighting, just want fair trade, pretty simple. No more mooching off of the US…sorry.

You cannot win a trade war

Too little, too late, too woke! Pay full NATO membership and commit to fair trading practices with the U.S.

The United States DID NOT launch a trade war, Donald J. Trump did... Please don't get it confused.

Only a fool causes a trade war with Canadian over sych foolish issues. I apologize Canada for my government's actions. I applaud Trudeau's strong example of what real leadership looks like.
