Last he spoke he talked smack then wanted to deal now what don’t talk about America

4 more years Canada, We will learn from the mistakes trump has made. I pray we keep all the working men, women and their families safe from extreme inflation and help them in every way possible. As a non government citizen of Canada. I can confirm that we are doing this as a last resort. Trump is destroying your country.

Trump never sticks to his word. People should have figured that out from his last term.

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

Canada and Mexico are not responsible for the people in the US who chose to use drugs. In fact, it's the United States job to keep illegal drugs and immigrants out of the US and they are doing a poor job of it and need someone else to blame. Mexico could retaliate in a way that could flood the US with illegal drugs and immigrants and refuse to repatriate its citizens back into Mexico. The rest of Central and South America could do the same in support of Mexico. They need to get Trump out of office before he ruins America.\nI remember the press conference with the USA (Trump), Canada and Mexico when signing the new trade agreement during Trump last time in office. Trump proudly stated that this is the greatest agreement in the history of the United States. Last week he wanted to know who in the US agreed to the terrible trade agreement. He is losing his mind and cognitive function is deteriorating at a rapid rate. Re-negotiating contracts after the work is complete is how Trump ran his businesses. He has bankrupted many small businesses by not paying them knowing that they do not have the money to go to court. He is only rich because of daddy's money otherwise he would have never survived his many bankruptcies. Thats why no one will loan him money. I can't wait until he screws over the government of Saudi Arabia with one of his shady business deals. Anyone remember what happened to Khashoggi for just authoring a bad article on Saudi's Leaders. What do you think will happen to Trump for monetarily screwing them over?

Deleted anything related to the US. Everything. Will never buy anything American, nor will i go to the US anymore. You elected a tyrant. A tyrant aligned with everything filthy on this planet. You needed to stand up to that bully at the last election but you ignored every red light just for the improbable « chance » to save a few bucks!? Shame on you all. Now deal with the consequences.

26 years retired. Ashamed. Brace yourselves, we won' t last 4 years going in this direction

The tariff war won't last. It will get ironed out in negotiations on other matters, probably in the form of tighter border restrictions, correcting some farm goods imbalance, and increasing tariffs on Chinese imports. Trump states pretty plainly in his order that this is for purposes of leverage, not punishment. I'd wager Trudeau caves to his demands within a few weeks.

Canada was off my radar for many years, always regarded it as a peaceful US neighbor and an ally of the free world. Now the current affairs ignited my admiration for Canada and will be lasting forever.This reinforces the fact that Canadian lives lost in WW2 will not be in vain.

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.

AMERICA - Leader of the Free World !!!! Oh, sorry. That's SO LAST YEAR.

I hold no grudge Canada. Do what you must - from a US citizen in New Jersey.\nJust an FYI: my husband and I have vacationed in Canada many times. Just last year we did a 7 day cruise in Canada. Your country is beautiful and so are your citizens . In all these years and trips we have never met a single questionable Canadian. Your friendly, kind, fun, interesting and just “ good people” you’d like to share a drink with

Do people not get that Trump is just trying to reverse damages done by the last President? There is debt tied to be paid and he is helping his country.

Well said and very welcome from our military. As we are aware that you are all our last defense. So thank you for honoring your oath to protect the Constitution!! I love you for that.

My biggest thing with all of this is Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and dozens. Other countries /nations had no issue when we were aligning their pockets with money. Mind you OUR TAX MONEY as someone who had damage from the last two hurricanes to my home/roof I filed for FEMA, I was denied in less than 12 hours. We have plenty of money to go around to these other f****** countries but we don't have the money or anything to help our own people no....

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

I don't like his last couple of years, but the last few months I like what he has been doing.

As an American I feel more Canadian, Ukrainian, Western European, Mexican, Panamanian, and last but not least a Greenlander than I do American. FDJT the KGB agent and the Republican party filled with traitors.

As Trudeau has done for the past 9yrs, he puts Canadians last. Even in his pointless speech to North Americans, we're the last to be addressed. Election.

Coming from a guy, who did this exact same thing for the last 9 years destroying Canadian Economy, and a dictator who froze people's bank accounts because they disagreed with his policy

I never voted for Trudeau, but it is hard not to admire him after this speech. He makes Trump look just like he is.. an old, ugly, out-of-shape, and very, very stupid fool. The last thing Canada needs right now are bootlicking Conservatives like Pierre Poilievre. And on a final note.. Trudeau was wrong, Donald is NOT a smart man. He is an utter imbecile.

Didn't this guy quit? I can't remember the last thing I ever bought from Canada.

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

Where has this guy been the last 2-3 years?

Canadians will never forget this, Canadians are slow to anger but once you get us there it is cold anger and it lasts a long time. We will never trust you again. We will trade with the rest of the world and less and less with you. You voted for this, this will ruin our economy but in the long run the divorce will be finalized.

To the uneducated liberals in the comments, Canada already has a 270% tariff on American goods and has for the last decade with Donald Trump did was put reciprocal tariffs on Canada toQ further balance, the imbalance so you guys being upset that President Trump isn’t acting tariffs on a country who’s already enacted tariffs on the United States then you’re being hypocrites. \n\nSee most of the world audience understands this you guys are actually the minority. Donald Trump is pulling at 60% in United States. The Democrats are pulling at 21% in United States. Just so you guys have an idea of just how unpopular you guys really are.

Do Americans realize or understand that if WWIII broke out today, the US would be on the side of Russia. Think about that. Your President is working to aid and assist your sworn enemy of the last 60 years.

Canadian Federal plus Ontario provincial government already imposed 68% tax increase on my business in the last 24 months. Watching my friends close their stores and lay off employees while a black market guts whats left of us and we all have to worry about getting robbed by a 15 year old with a gun... Tell us a little more how much you care about small business'?

This guy does not speak for all Canadians here in Canada. He had every opportunity every opportunity to make things better with Donald Trump. They hate Donald Trump so now they use the media to attack Trump and make him look bad Justin Trudeau you’ve done nothing for Canada for the last 10 years, but put us in debt put us in financial problems put us in Criminal problems. We have rapist here that we brought to Canada terrorist that live in Canada. We are laughing country because of what you’ve done so don’t sit there and make yourself look great and brave and think that Canada’s behind you you better think again you’ve destroyed Canada now you wanna be a big man up there and podium and talk how you’re talking that you think you know Canadians and Canadians are speaking out well that’s a lie if you truly mean what you mean get rid of the carbon tax in Canada let’s start lowering gas prices in groceries. Has nothing to do with them. American people let’s start growing our own stuff in Canada that that been discussing many times and that you’ve just throw it out the window bring back our pipeline. How about that to increase cost and money in Canada again you won’t do that. We’ll have a fight with Donald Trump now I’ll tell you you won’t win. God is in control. Evil has no authority anymore and there’s nothing that these evil leads can do they’re swamp is being drained as we speak.

Tarrifs hurts the countries consumers nothing else. Big companies dont give a damn about your Tarrifs Trump, they just put it on the consumers and thats us. Good God man we had a dummy as President last year we dont need another dummy in the White House. These Tarrifs are stupid. ?

I wish our current and past president spoke this well. Obama was the last time I could stand to hear our leader talk, and I didn't even vote for him [Obama].

Anything But American did not have to be, but it will take a generation for the fall out to become a thing of the past after this gross attack is ended. As a senior I can say that I will be gone before reciliation will be achieved. Trump signed the free trade agreement with Canada 5 years ago and he has proven the America is not to be trusted and treaties are meaningless. Trump, and by extension America, has walled itself in to keep the world out. Americans have been less than welcome in some places, now those places include their neighbours. Carrying American dollars and the American flag abroad will not be looked at the same as it was just last year.

At long last Trudeau bites back against Trump and it's only after he screwed Canada over and helped Trump do the same.

Shut up Justin no one likes you in Canada and we can’t wait for you to leave. You are the king of lying and have put other countries above your own people for the last 10 years. \n\nYou are the reason we are weak and there for the taking. \n\nDon’t give me that patriotic bs when you spent your entire tenure doing every unpatriotic thing you could. \n\nDon’t listen to this moron talk about economics, he’s a communist narcissistic drama teacher who doesn’t know wtf he is talking about. \n\n\nJUST QUIT.

lol at him calling Trump smart hahahaha. He is the most stupid person to ever hold any power. He wouldn’t last 30 mins at a McDonald’s.

What an idiot. In the last several days, Trudeau's priority was jet setting around Europe cheerleading for a war that is lost instead of reorienting Canada's international relations to diversify the economy.

Thank God we have such a great president that truly cares about what's going on in our country, unlike what has happened over the last 4 years which has been absolutely disgusting and a sad period of time on a history of the United States

Your using facts!'MAGA doesn't understand facts. MAGA only believes in the lies and BS that their orange lord and his propaganda fox news network feed them. They either don't want to fact check there orange lord or they just out in out want to egnore the facts all together. Ram it to us Canada, we are the idiots that sent our orange piece of crap dictator to Washington. What is really frightening is the fact that MAGA erased our system of checks and balances. Both houses of our government are now made up of to many trump cult clones that are to afraid to go up against our orange turd dictator, for fear that their MAGA constituents will vote them out of office. He also stacked the Supreme Court with MAGA justices the last time he was president. So we are screwed! There aren't enough people in our government to reel the orange turd and his next generation of swamp rats in.

If govenor trudeau doesn't want this the he could join us. What was the last thing you bought from canada other than maple syrup

And nobody's dumb enough to think that this is a short-term fix gas prices are up 70 cents a gallon mostly everywhere let's see who pays for that oh yeah that's right US citizens supposed to fix food prices not up 30% by the way this is all on Trump's watch right oh yeah that's right like I said both sides are liars that's why I'm independent proud of it we put people in office are we take him out of office in the next vote he doesn't care cuz this is his last Rodeo but don't think an impeachment wouldn't be on his record again

Trudeau will not be PM in few days! What has he done the last 9 years?

Canada, fighting from the North.\nMexico, from the South.\nAnti-magas from within.\nKeep trump and his traitors in office and see if it doesn't happen.\nForgot to mention Europe joining in the fray.\nToo bad that kid missed, but there very likely will be others soon, marksman this time, no doubt.\ntrump and his pals will be cringing in the White House bunker soon, where he hid the last time.

Trump’s retaliation against Trudeau…. From his Dumpster’s last term, Melanoma reached up to Trudeau for that greeting kiss ? lol Dumpster still can’t get a ?from Melanoma. …. Tariffs make it look legit rather than petty jealousy.

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 ?

Grocery abd fas was high for last 4 years

This guy resigned last month. Then wont re call parliment back ... Hes a joke . We need pierre not this idiot

The Mexican president wants Trump yo take care of the cartels in USA, why he doesn’t take care of in his territory and wants to fix it in Mexican Territory. The last army guns that the government confiscated in Mexico were for Americans to tried to cross to Mexico .

I stand with America first, that is why I voted for and stand with President Trump? democRats are just brainwashed , fake news drinkers! America voted for President Trump? democRats get over your pathetic rhetoric, America is fed up with men in little girls bathrooms, tampons and condoms in preschool rooms, putting America last, locking up parents fighting for our kids rights, getting us into multiple wars, inflation, weak leaders and corrupt leaders?

Justin does not care about the concerns of its allies. Last year, Justin cut off diplomatic ties with India to protect a terrorist. Canada is now a hub of drug smugglers, gangsters and illegal immigration. This is hurting allies but Justin is not LISTENING

Mexico stands with Canada and our president has also applied tarrifs on the US as well. Well see who gets the last laugh...
