I really don’t care if Trudeau “blisters” himself to h___ and back. I don’t think he has ever been a competent leader and is an embarrassment to Canada.

Why is he acting like Trump has just nuked Canada and going to invade. I think his negative Trump bias is effecting his judgement and behaviour. Instead of doing a media opportunity to show everyone what a good little leader he is and that Trump is a very bad man. Why not try sit-down and have a rational and pragmatic talk and negotiate new trade relations first, instead trying to cause more up-evil and resentment.

That’s an eloquent leader! Praying for Canada through this.

That is what a leader looks and sounds like. In America they have an unsuccessful business man who should have been in prison a long time ago .I know who l believe. Congratulations Canada you have a great leader best wishes from the UK

THANK YOU CANADA ❤. thanks to your government and your people ❤. I wish our european leaders would be as brave and strong as the Canadians are.

I believe Canada and Mexico will fold and play chicken. Trudeau's appeals to US voters showed Canada lacks courage. On TV, Trump saw many Canadian leaders squirming and making threats. Look at China - Xi stayed silent and implement counter measures.

Gee…what a surprise! ….NOT! \nThe most toxic person in the world who LOVES to create chaos & division has stirred up a bees nest in countries all around the world. That’s what Trump does. Chaos, division, hard feelings & bitterness are his forté. \nThat’s the leader America has chosen over someone with common sense, intelligence, & who would have tried to unite the American ppl & create an economy that would be stable & help the majority of Americans because Kamala IS like the majority of Americans. She understands the struggle of trying to making a living when you’re not born into wealth like Trump was.\nHe can’t relate to the struggles of the average American family trying to earn enough to provide for their families. He’s never known that struggle. \nAnd why should he care if he causes ppl on both sides of the border to lose jobs, & consequently lose their homes? He’s rich. He can afford the higher costs of everything in both countries that he is initiating. He chose this trade war because he wants to take over Canada. \nWhat is wrong with Americans who thought voting him in AGAIN was a great idea over the common sense & economic stability Kamala Harris offered? He TOLD you he was going to do this. \nYou ppl who voted for him KNEW his past history. He’s a proven liar, a cheat, a fraud, a scammer, a sexist, a predator of vulnerable women, & a convicted felon..\nAnd more than anything else, he’s a BULLY! He uses his words with his bull horn & public media to speak against anyone who opposes him to try to subtly motivate his MAGA hounds to attack the ppl & their families that actually tell the truth about him. And then he steps aside & waits for his minions to respond & acts totally innocent as if he is not responsible because he did not directly tell them to go after the ppl he very purposely speaks hostile about. WAKE UP! He IS responsible because he knows very well his words have power to influence ppl to take action. \nAnd too many cowards in the Supreme Court & Republican party including his own VP Mike Pence were all too afraid to speak up against him. \nIf the majority of Americans want such a toxic person for leader, that’s America’s poor choice but Canada wants NO PART in his BS.\nHands off Canada because we WILL stand united & will support our governments efforts & the efforts of other Canadians to withstand against Trump’s bullying tactics.\nBUY CANADIAN!

more bull shyte from trudeau. fact: tariffs hurt the people who buy the goods. so canadian tariffs on usa goods means: CANADIANS WILL PAY MORE FOR USA GOODS! just as usa consumers will pay more for canadian goods subject to usa tariffs. if canada wants to return a punch, find other markets, trade with other countries, rid canada of the festering relationship it has with this facist state, usa. \nrealitycheck: both leaders( the turd and comb over clown) are supercharging inflation in their respective countries with this play acting of a trade war.

This is a leader. The Trump agenda is the hostile take over of Canada on the basis of oligarg rule. This is a first step. It won't work. Canada has many trade partners. It's new investments on its security will work against the US.

Trudeau is a joke, all of canada hates him. lets get a real leader in office.

From Germany, I stand with Canada. Donald is not my free world leader.

Trudeau is also the leader of Kalistani terrorists group in Canada, people must know this fact ....

You said everything, Mr. Trudeau! I stand with Canada and the Ukraine... real leaders!

Thank you Prime Minister for being a leader as opposed to what we have in America, a divider and felon. I'm sick over the current administration. I'm sorry Canada.

I honestly don't know this man, but he is very organized, he knows how to speak, his speech is very clear. I believe he is a true leader to his country(Canada).

<standing ovation>. As a European who saw hope in Trump, I don't know what is happening, but this is a different leader than he was 4 years ago, what happened? Alliance < Russia? Bravo Canada, you are a great country

Now that's what I call a leader. We're with you all the way Canada, stay strong and stand up for yourselves. I can't say the UK government is going to follow through with their current tough stance but can can only cross our fingers that the UK and the rest of Europe stand with us all. Good luck. ?

As an American ??. I agree. Canada, your prime minister is one a hell leader. I can appreciate this message

Justin Trudeau is a great prime minister, brilliant leader god bless Canada

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent coverage of one of the greatest tragedies perpetrated on the American people by its leader. I strongly take issue with the Wall Street Journal opinion of Donald Trump, being a smart man. Only a flaming idiot would let Vladimir Putin play them like a puppet. God bless Canada and it’s unbelievably understanding beautiful people who’s empathy is boundless and God bless Justin Trudeau, who will be unbelievably missed on the world stage and as a beloved, American, cousin, and dear neighbor‼️

This man is telling the truth! I STAND WITH CANADA . I’m a US ARMY VETERAN AND IM ASHAMED OF WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS DOING . Canada please give us to time to contact our government. It’s very dumb . It’s what Russia want , the enemy . Mr. president(Canada ) THANKS FOR BEING A GREAT LEADER .

He did not mince words, well said, brilliant response, world leaders take note. Polite but tough, well done Canada!

What a great Man ! What a leader ... thanks canada. Greetings from Germany

Blistering? Trudeau? Hardly. Petulant. Peevish. Snippety. Waspish. A weak argument from a weak leader. Tell me…why won’t Canada pay tariffs equal to what they charge the US? Do they expect an unfair advantage because they’re ‘less than’?

I'm English, I don't know that Canada has any enemies around the world to be honest. The US is trying to control any neighbouring land and building a wall around itself in exactly the way Russia did. Look how quickly Trump has made all these changed. He aligns himself with Dictators and attacks his friends. Trump is literally alienating the worlds allies. There is no longer a leader of the free world. Watch this space.

Thailand's here and I might be minority in my country to not support Trump. But it's very relief to see decent and reasonable leader who speaks out for his country. I'm totally with Canada ❤

I’m an American. I love our home. I love our people. I love our land. I love our principles.\n\nAnd it’s for all those reasons that I support Canada, Mexico, the European nations, and all the other sane countries around the world that are hitting back against these maniacs driving my homeland into the gutters of history.\n\nEven as a leftist, I’ve had my fair share of criticisms for Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Starmer, and Mr. Macron as well as the other leaders of the EU. But now, bygones are bygones. In Americans’ moment of need, it’s clear that three folks care more about the United States and our values than the Republicans ever will.\n\nThank you for standing on the right side of what will certainly be one of the most important moments in modern American history.

Trudeau is a National Embarrassment- to himself - and to Canada.\n\nDo Canada a huge favor justin- step down- you have lost the respect of most of Canada - to me . And - no world leader has any respect for you either - to me.\n\nPathetic you are - to me.

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

Go Canada! If Trump, Vance & Musk (the 3 Stooges) think they are invincible watch the World sink the U.S! Feel sorry for the ones in the U.S who now despise their Communist leader ?!

Omg ,,Canada is great country in the world with too much natural resources.im sure Canada is an independent country.need some good and professional leaders

What a great speech! Absolutely excellent, perfect! Trudeau is proving to be a really great leader. Lucky Canada. Shame that he won't be standing for re-election in the upcoming elections.

Mr. Trudeau as an Australian who loves Canada you're not dealing with a rational, compassionate, leader across the border but a self serving, lying, convicted felon and Putin sycophant.

He’s a big man talking from Canada,but the truth is he’s in trouble without the US ,And we voted our leaders in..

I stand with Canada! ♥️ \nJT is a REAL leader

I stand with Canada, Ukraine and all of our allies. Thank you for being a mature statesman and defending your country and its people. I am ashamed of our leaders and apologize that you have to even make this speech. ♥️

Real leader bro this how the us is supposed to be what happen to all the Great leaders in America did they move to canada cuz this guy sounds more american like what

Trudeau is a snake. Remember that. He’s scapegoating Trump. If Trudeau was a great leader Canada wouldn’t be in the situation it’s in where he’s whining like a little b*tch. He should have done more years ago. He’s Canadas Biden and now like the lunatic left he’s blaming Trump.

Bravo to BRAVE CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER and All the Canadian Citizens and all the PROVINCIAL LEADERS .\nKeep up ? with the good work ?????\nWe are good neighbors and friends with American Citizens .\nWe will not allow any one to ? BULLY ? us into subjugation and slavery .\nThe whole ? world ? is open for Trading with ,\n? CANADA ? . \nAnd we the CANADIAN CITIZENS and Our Country ? CANADA ? ???

Trump has really the potential to ruin America. America will most likely ending up as North Korea. Mexico, Canada and even China seems to turn towards Europe. America government have always been trouble and I think they should be isolated from the rest of the world. And Nato should be cancelled and Canada, Mexico and Europe should build a new Alliance with Canada, uk or Germany taking on the mission as leaders.

I have been living in the Canada ? for more than eight years, and even though I am not a citizen, I consider it my home. I’m so proud of you, prime minister Trudeau —this is how a true leader should speak. We are all in this together. Love you Canada ??, and I would give my life for this country if needed. ❤?

trudeau is a weak leader thats why canada became POOR COUNTRY NOW.

Ha Donald this is what a TRUE LEADER LOOKS AN SOUNDS LIKE AN THE ONE THAT YOU WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE . Donald set back in the corner and lesson to true leadership is . We as Americans will always stand with Canada an YOU STAND WITH RUSSIA, North Korea an other dictatorship countries. The America people will stand TOGETHER AS YOU STAND IN THE CORNER BY YOURSELF STOMPING YOUR LITTLE FEET .

Canada's president is much more presidential than ours and he makes a lot more sense he's a far better leader than Trump

Strong, timely and fair response from a true Leader of the free Canada!\nUkraine is proud and blessed to have such ally as Canada ✊

I'm an US citizen, from Michigan, I stand with Canada. THIS is what a leader looks like.

Justin Destroyed Canada with his unending foolish spending, taxes and corruption,, said he would step down, shut down the government instead and continued acting as Prime Minister while opposition has been muted. He is not a legitimate leader and his words are empty. He is a drama teacher with a script and does the only thing he knows how. He acts. And now he's acting like the tough guy and that he cares about Canada when after nine years in power, it is clear he didn't. Time to get rid of the globalist and all the others. He is not a decent man.

Many thanks to Trudeau. I just love it, World Democracy Leaders like Trudeau, Macron, Keir Starmer and many more EU leaders will come to the aid of Americans to show just how Corrupt and Deranged Trump is and, he can't threaten or fire them. Trump's actions WILL trigger a unification of EU Countries with Canada and any other country that Trump threatens. Tesla EVs won't be purchased, EU and Canadian Satellites won't be launched by US companies, and you'll see EU and Canadian Defense company R&D funding and sales take-off as new Trade agreements are made between these other countries that Severely hurt the US Economy in numerous ways which, just maybe, some since into the total Nut-Job, Scum-Bag, multi-Felon and Rapist named Donald.

BOOM! Now that’s a Leader! Thank you Canada and Trudeau. ?? + ?? = ?

Trump and Putin are cut from the same cloth - bullies that think by strong arming people, counties they will submit - not anymore the world sees you and is not taking this ? anymore - on a global level we need to show the bullies of the world that we will stand together in eradicating this kind of behaviour for good and let this be a future warning to any leaders who act in the same way Putin and Trump are acting now. Well done Canada ??
