These comments on youtube are funny. Trudeau is the reason why Canada is economically a shell of what it was 10 years ago. Everyday canadians understand his words and threats are empty. Hes a shell puppet who is so hated in canada that he had to shut down the canadian government 2 months ago. Thats right, in a demcracy this creepy fool has shut it down to milk a few more measly months of his power before he is forced to slink away. Worse, under his watch our borders have become fentanyl ridden jokes. Less than 10 percent of anything is even inspected at our ports of entry. Human and drug trafficing is out of control. I dont like tarriff wars, but this is all trudeaus fault - every criticism of the US gov is completely valid. Canada went from #3 at the G20 to last under this guy. 90 percent of the fentanyl going into the US comes through canada.. should i go on...

When a political leader who had less than 25% approval rating until a month ago and is rejected even by those in his own party, is seen as an eminence and a great politician next to the leader of another country, you can perceive how bad that other country is.

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

You all are funny. Just a month ago Trudeau was on his way out for the shit he’s done to Canada. Now you all are singing his praises. The flip flop is funny

Ax the tax and get out you resigned already months ago

Didn’t this guy announce his resignation months ago? Didn’t he quit on Canada because the people of Canada lost faith in him and he could feel it?

We Americans are in the process of losing so much due to Trump. In my case, my Social Security and at age 72, I am terribly frightened. I took down my American flag due to the winter weather a few months ago, and I won't be putting it up again until Trump is out of office. May God Bless America. May God Bless Canada. May God Bless Ukraine. May God Bless all countries free of Putin and may it stay that way.

I booked a trip to Florida months ago. Long before talk of tariffs. If I could get my money back for the plane tickets and Disney tickets I’d cancel the trip in a heartbeat and spend that money at home in Canada. I can assure you, after this trip I won’t be spending a dime in the US for a long time

Shut your lying ass up. If you want to work with America carry your own weight. But like you said in your meeting with Trump few months ago without America your economy will crash. So don't bite the hand that feeds you if you know what's best for you

Half Canadian half British here. Thanks for the support! We will beat trump. Unfortunately I didn’t think I’d use those words a few months ago…

Yeah, pretend to care when it matters. But turn a blind eye to the financial burden you’ve screwed Canadian’s over with during the past 9 years. You resigned over a month Justin ago, get out. We want a real leader.

Why you are so worried, you’re days are numbered after October you’re gone. Remember your winter last almost 7 months.\nNobody will invest in that kind of weather. US just have 500 billion dollars and 100 billion dollars of investment just signed days ago.\nThis speech really makes you are really worried. Why they are no Starbucks in Canada only Tim Horton that’s why you have this tarrifs ???

I want to become a Canadian (america has gone 2shiz..it was in the process of goin 2shiz 8 yrs ago which led 2 most of america 2 make sure a 2nd round of idiocy will not hapoen again.. that is until 4 months ago, where the majority of Americans had a contagious case of amnesia..which in result the consequence of this HUGE mistake a majority of Americans made in November is going to cost us immensely..strap up and boot up ppl its going 2get more than bumpy BRACE URSELVES

Literally the whole world hated this guy 6 months ago.

Crystal clear. He resigned a month ago and since then , he has stepped up. Good way to leave. ?

I know I will get attacked in the comments for this, but I grew up in the US watched many presidents come and go, and I have never seen the country that I live in turn so corrupt and evil in my life we have been lied to by our president. A man I did not vote for and it almost feels like it is turning into a fascist regime. I think it is time for me to leave and move to Canada because at least they know the difference between right and wrong. my family, a long time ago fled from fascist Germany and came to America because back then it was the land of the free it terrifies me to know that my family ran from that only to end up right back where it was before in the future my prayers go out to every American citizen and hope that you all rise up, right and left and independent and do what you can to get this dictator out of office. He’s only been in there not even two months and look how bad everything is already. United we stand divided, we fall.

thought this fruitloop was resigning a month ago. LOL. Also dont need you, Mr Blackface instructing me on how to think about anything.

Wasn’t this guy hated by everyone like a month ago? Now everyone is saying how amazing and smart he is?

If less than 1% of fent is seized at the canadian boarder.. then why have the past 10 largest fent dealers been mostly from canada? We just busted a super lab near Edmonton a few months ago where they were making enough to kill every american... I guess that all stayed in canada though right? Canada is a fucking joke. These clowns know very well about it but they are on the pay roll some how

Everyone loving Canada now but just hated them a month ago.

I thought this dude was stepping down months ago lol

For those who admires Trudeau. Did you know that he did so bad for the last 10 years and resigned two month ago. And before he resigned he got permission from the king of England to close the Parliament until his party elected a new leader?

It makes perfect sense what are any of you talking about you're missing the whole point we are all allied with Russia what Trump has wanted from day one get with the times. This is not the same country it was a month and a half ago

Didnt we just go over this like a month ago ? ???

Canada would be in a better place If he only spoke this clearly and stood up with a back bone years ago, not months before leaving office! smh

This clown was ready to resign and step down. He should be thanking trump that his leadersip of canada still exists. Canada was and is going down the tubes. All of canada wanted this clown canned 3 months ago. At any rate, nothing canada can do. 75% of their population lives with spitting distance of the US. They need us, we don't need them. \n\nWhat do all you leftist clowns have in common? You are all haters of America. Better get used to America First bc it's just getting started.

This was a month ago

Trudeau should have been proactive in the first place. Canada had put tarriff on other countries in the first place. They even did not sell our oil in the first place when saying no business case. Just to please his socialist minister. When trump was not in power this man went at trump the entire trump. \n\nTrudeau is lying to his teeth. \n\nThe fentynal crisis in canada is alot more worse \n\nFew months ago the had the biggest drug bust in Canadian history which could kill the entire Canadian population.\n\n\nI dont trust trudeau at all.

This man announced his resignation in almost 2 months ago, then prorogued parliament, then backed the other WEF globalist dude immediately available even though never once elected to public office, and is now speaking on behalf of a country he has never really supported at all.\nHe reads a good speech, that was written by a speech writer, but his past decade of actions haven't been pro Canadian.\nCanada will be fine. With or without Trudeau, Trump or any other narcissistic politician that loves the sound of their own voice.

And to think a few months ago he was so low in the polls and so unpopular he decided to step down to give his party a fighting chance in the next election. Just imagine if Joe Biden had shown that same kind of leadership. We may not have a second Trump presidency to deal with.

Someone told him what a was a tariff was a couple months ago and now he loves the word he said. It effects him 0 percent

Canada has been the preferred access point for criminals and terrorist for the past 4 years. I have a place right on the border and 8 months ago I caught a young East Indian who already had several felony in the states and had been shipped back to India in previous years. How the heck did that man get a student visa to come to Canada. There are 50,000 East Indian Students missing in Canada who simply used the visa to get into Canada and run the border. This is what we’re are dealing with. I live on the border and I’ve never seen this much traffic. Border guards are simply picking their targets and having to ignore others. So I ask u how do u think I feel about my property being used as an illegal highway bcz of your government incompetence. As someone who also works in native communities throughout Canada I’ll also Trudeau words fall like shit from ass. The drugs have ravaged native communities to the tune of 3/4 of the young ppl. Grandparents are raising the grandchildren and it’s all kept hush hush by the liberal media. They’ve done nothing to stop it bcz it normally boils down to minority groups who they brought in who are making it.

Sick Basterd, just wants free money, He is Going to Make it worse for Canada, Just like Ford. No Clue Politicians Can Not Do the Job they are just Takers, Not Makers!\nJustin Sit the F down, You don't run anything. stepped down Month ago, But wont Go! You Canada have a Problem, Letting the Political Child Play Running the Country. Bad as U Know.

A month ago, I was still proud of America. The Clown show we are stuck with, has made that almost impossible.

Prime Minister Trudeau, for the mistakes he's made, has actually had Canada's interests at heart.\n\nCanada is known as a peacekeeping country, my own father was in Cyprus in '89 doing just that, but with corporate interests getting in the way of what's truly best for Canada, the two major political parties have been swayed right of center, and a large portion of the population with them.\n\nAt least Canada's current leader is a competent, level-headed smooth talker who knows that, when the gaggle of robber barons and their cult of useful village idiots start throwing their weight around, it's time to get serious. \n\nAt least I'm willing to say that I hate every single billionaire-servicing sycophant who made the past month a reality. And I know it's going to get worse under Pierre, who will sell out to Donald the first chance he gets if it means saving his own ass.\n\nNot that anyone still on the wrong side even cares at this point, many people are going to die in the years ahead, more than necessary. Unfortunately profit became more important than life a long time ago.

This man is so hated by his own people that he resigned 2 months ago and his replacement is set to take office sometime soon. Don’t let his way with words sway you the way it did Canadians for almost a decade. That is all he is— all words and no action.

You all now love Trudeau in this speech while months ago you wanted to wipe him out????

I’ll say first that I’m a Canadian…\n\nTrudeau and his government has been in power almost 10years and in that time Canada has gotten progressively worse—the drug crisis; immigration; inflation etc etc. I find it shameful that it took a foreign leader (Trump) to ignite changes within my country. Are the tariffs fair to Canada? No, absolutely not but Trump is not the president of Canada—right, wrong or indifferent he’s looking out for the US. \n\nJustin Trudeau is a corrupt lame duck prime minister who technically resigned a month ago. \n\nTrump will listen to Canada and respect Canada when a new government is place

Its insane to see the amount of people that are being manipulated by politicians only in it for personal gain. Why don't you all take a moment to go google Zelenskys home. Look at it before U.S. aid and after. Oh, wait. I forgot that as soon as that story aired, it was immediately removed from search results the same day. Or the luxury carpets that they spent millions on. So, please enlighten me as to why 2 million dollars worth of carpets are necessary during a war? By the way, that was taken from search results as well. Maybe its because democratic parties have influence over 90% of what we, as americans, use on a daily basis to gather information. I am really not on either side, but isn't the guy speaking here the one that literally resigned like 2 months ago? Everyone is so desperate to hear what they want that they are running right back into this dudes arms.

Didn’t this cupcake resign a few months ago? President Trump is going to make a fool out of this clown!?

Presidente Trump told you a month ago about the trade deficit in favor of Canada, also he told you about the fentanyl problem, but you ignored it and now you are complaining. What the f...

Trudeau a dictator himself himself sit down we fired that shameless embarrassment two months ago he screwed us by allowing unlimited economic migrants millions into Canada illegally many who illegally crossed into the US illegally they did little for years to stem the flow of hard drugs organized crime out of control clandestine drug labs all over Canada now hundreds of thousands of Canadians dead from overdose he screwed us now Trump is screwing us we are really screwed with this clown show at the helm still we should have had an election a year ago so a competent government was installed working instead the Liberal red green show is in charge

Good onya this time Trudeau, but I thought you were supposed to resign months ago. Remember you announced your resignation!

Just 4 months ago, this rat Trudeau said America made a mistake in voting for Trump, instead of a woman. Americans voted and overwhelmingly chose President Trump. Justin Trudeau should rather try to repair the damage that he has done to Canada and let the Adult Trump run the US.

Didn't he resign in disgrace a few months ago?

This is the old and sad Trump tactics. In one month Trump will say that he is willing to stop the tariffs if Mexico and Canada are interested in renegotiate the bad free trade agreement that some idiot signed 5 years ago. Oops, was that Trump?

Boohoo to you Trudeau, you and your mafia gang created this mess. Get your sh*t together, coz imho you are an abject failure here in Canada.\nTrump warned you months ago about tarrifs if you didn’t tighten up the border to stop the flow of fentanyl into the States.\nBut what has Trump done to stop the illegal flow of firearms into Canada?\nSo, strengthening the border is the responsibility of both sides.\nNow that the tariffs are on, Canada has no other option but fight back with tariffs against America…so howz it going strengthening our borders?

Canadian, here we hate Trudeau he resigned over a month ago still running around acting like any of care what he says

Of course it's CNN. Trudeau, you do not represent Canadians. You have destroyed Canada and only now because of Trump you are dealing with the horrid fentanyl problem that is killing our communities. You have not fixed our health care system nor our political system. YOU NEED TO JUST GO, STOP YOUR EGO DRIVEN LAST GASP AT LEADERSHIP. You prorogued our own government, basically shut down debate and decision making in Canada while you parade yourself around the global world. NOW YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CANADA FIRST, when a short two months ago you were pushing Canada for the past 9 years as a post national state. You are posturing and have no credibility in Canada or globally. YOU DID NOT WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU CAME UP WITH NO PLAN BASED ON WHAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE U.S. YOU JUST WANT TO PREEN AND SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND SKIRT AROUND RESPECTFUL NEGOTIATIONS WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP BECAUSE YOU ARE MANIPULATING TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. Just take that walk Trudeau and be gone, you have 3 more days and then we do not want to see you again.

Just a rewrite of the nafta agreement. Trump did this last time. It lasted a month and done. All this media for nothing. Trudope said the same thing 8 years ago. ?
