What about all the illegal drugs trump and musk uses

Canada helped U.S. on 911 like no other nation could,using a small airport meant for smaller planes to help by allowing jumbo jets to land,while we gladly housed Americans there. - Through Our Lens - A 9-11 Story

Using the drug war to implement AI surveillance on us all…

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

Thanks for using small words when addressing Trump directly, not like the arrogant clown will listen, but it was nice to use dumbed-down language so he might understand

He was careful to use small words to speak to the small man. I wish he was our president.

Trump-GOP-Q's nonsense execuse is fentanyl. However, Trump-GOP-Q's reps do not do the best effort to help Americans who are addicted to fentanyl & other drugs. The reason why fentanyl and other drugs keep coming into the USA is because we in America have too many drug addicts, mostly in the red states that vote for Trump-GOP-Q's reps. Medicaid could be used to help our drug addicts to overcome their addiction, but Trump-GOP-Q's are trying to cut $800 million from medicaid & redirect it for tax cuts for the wealthy. Dumb Trump cannot see.

Coming from the guy who uses a carbon tax hurting his own people even though Canada isnt to blame for global warming. Cant wait to vote for the first time and get him out of office.

Fantastic speech … I only wish he (and others) would stop using the Russian word ‘tsar’ instead of leader - we don’t want Russian leaders!

Did that woman literally say that Trudeau was being harsh have you ever heard Donald Trump talk about anybody have you ever heard him talking about Trudeau Donald Trump is straight up disrespectful and makes fun of people to their f****** faces on national camera but yet you say Trudeau was using harsh words when he was being polite as can be

White people use to talk like this when they led America-

Dumb Trump. I regret voting him. He thinks he can scare away other country leaders by using tariff as strategy. What a fool! Is he not realizing it will back fire by causing these countries to do the same on US?

why is Justin even speaking? he has already resigned as the worst prime minister in our history! one last flush to get that turd to go down. election already. we are so done with you liberals destroying Canada . US tariffs =25%additional tax onto Canadians using US products =MORE TAXES to Canadians. tax me harder liberal so I can work more

We don't want to see Canadians hurt, either. It's all very unnecessary and intended only to appease the bottomless ego of a tyrant. Donald Trump imposed tariffs on your country. The American people did not. We are sorry, and we will do all we can to use the processes in place to remove Trump and his elected supporters from power as soon as we can.

Wow! Trudue did nothing to prevent the tarrifs but instead he just talk about it use it to his advantage for his political career that was very bad few days ago. Do your work instead of just talking. Criminals , fentanyl and open boarder is still open. Still so many illegal immigrants are still here. How many have you send home already? No news about illegal immigrants that they send home. Too\n Much barking no bite! Show us how many illegal immigrants have you send home? How many drug lords have you put in jail? No statistics. No proof . Who would believe in you? Show us the proof!!!

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.

Historically, tariffs have been imposed to support production of American goods. Think cotton, steel, other raw materials the U.S. used to produce in past centuries. For the past several decades, America has not produced many raw materials because it's cheaper to buy them from countries who can pay their workers less to keep the cost of production low. It's impossible to quickly begin producing these things here, so Trumplethinskin's tariffs will do nothing but piss off our trading partners and dramatically increase the prices Americans pay for a long list of essential goods. I see a major recession coming soon. If your goal was to close American car plants because the parts are too expensive and make it impossible for U.S. citizens to afford to feed their families, you've achieved it, King Donald ?

Most of you dont know what's going on Trudeau has a bad approval rating and there is more to the story. Trump is fighting on your side Americans yet you fight against him. You want lower prices but think that comes from debt of the US you want less drugs but belive the president that has free use in their country to do any drug imaginable right next to the border.

America, your president is using YOU as pawns to threaten and force a move on Canada and other allies because he doesn’t care if everyday Americans suffer for what he thinks is for the “greater good” of America. Think about that for a minute, PLEASE.

I like how he uses this opportunity to act so dramatic and insulted when the obvious and expected plan was that every country will apply tarrifs to the US. And it will be a good thing that all countries have this

President Trudeau should use his “teacher losing temper” act on donald if they ever meet, that would make for good television ! I remember seeing teachers teach their breaking point in the 90s when I was in skool

The biggest fear that D Trump has is that China becomes as strong as them. He uses Russia as his ally to physically threaten China. It's now time for the rest of the world to show that his plan can backfire. I think Europe and Canada should strengthen their free trade and investments with China (but make sure that they won't physically annex Taiwan). By making China stronger, Trump will finally realize the value of old friends and how dumb his plans were.

Products need to be made in CANADA! Please start up factories and farming across Canada for all products. Excuse me…smart is not the word I would use

Let me tell you guys something to all the commentators:\nJ Trudeau is a merciful dictator who all he does is talk talk talk with no action, the only action he does is spend taxpayers money for his and his parties benefit\nHe is a extreme socialist praising lunatic who uses words to try and hypnotize his population which does not work. He destroyed this once beautiful country and he publically laughs about it when asked. If you guys think that the USSR was abolished in the 90’s, i highly suggest you take another look at your upstairs neighbour. Take it from a canadian. Do not trust or believe anything that thing says

How is he defending Canadian jobs? The whole point of tarrifs is to make it unprofitable for American companies to use Canada for things like manufacturing, energy and other natural resources.\n\nThe liberal government is who made us weak where we depended on the trade deficit in our favour. If we looked at tapping our resources and finding other markets, we wouldn't be so far gone.\n\nTrudeau's answer? EI? More taxpayer debt?\n\nHe's trying to use this situation to garner support from the public. We're screwed.

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

We believe Canadian leaders like Mr. Trudeau. As Americans,we have been abused for years by Trump,who is his own kind of terrorist, using deceit,treachery and cruelty. Millions of us are resisting,protesting and praying to restore a place among our allies in other countries and in the United States.

Difference BETWEEN Clear And Understandable Full sentences. WITH Absolutely NO USE OF TALKING Over somebody. Thats the difference Between a Real person. And A BULLY!

The war on drugs started with Nixon it isn't something you can win by closing the land borders, they will always find a way to get drugs to people that want to use them which includes setting up drug labs in America. Portugal and The Netherlands have pretty comprehensive drug policies but America either won't take note or doesn't want to. Maybe it is about filling for profit prisons among other things.

Americans, call your representatives and tell them yo get off their asses and get some balls and stand up to Dumpy that he is not king and can keep using emergency orders without proof. \nRepublicans, time to reign in this crazy old man.

Hey …can you address the port tax on boats transporting goods. 1.5 million $ when a boat delivers goods through US ports if the boat carrying the goods was built in China. What about américain transport companies using china built boats ? Hope my country cuts your electricity. Than maybe Americans will wake up to the global mess they let this clown show create.

Justin Justin Justin, don’t use facts, it just confuses other politicians

I have the hardest time takeing justin seriously i swear! Its almost as if the guy used to teach drama classes or something ? hes very good actor

Want Canadians know many of us are grieved by what is done by this so called but Not president and the tariffs that have been put on our neighbor. We mourn and feel grieved over the time he has been in office- the lies, lack of charity to others while still using ‘God’…shocked that nothing seems to be able to stop this… We are sorry for the hurt that’s been caused to Canada- And just know that some of us here are very grieved by what we see happening to many people in the last six months—- please forgive and pray for us!!! Our nation is in real trouble.

I can use this as ASMR.

Partner my ass!! I crossed the border in a truck over 100 times. Every time I was treated like dirty Harry. My truck was taken apart, I was insulted for being a Veteran and told I was a trained killer, I told them that we didn't sit around and play marbles and jacks. Meanwhile towel heads crossed the border without restrictions.. not having to stop at all... using the GM TRUCKS to haul contriband to the US to kill us! No love lost for me.

Canada can use economics and trade to against that dirty policy from sick guy called trump??

The republican party use to by a symbol of strength military wise, under Trump the majority have became wimps with zero backbone alienating our allies and siding with dictators.

your farms need the 80% of the pot ash they import they are really going to feel it soon. they wont plant the seed if they cant fertilize properly then theres 60% crude oil imports at 10$ a barrel, not anymore and 30% soft lumber. thats just the tip ? for those that are cheering this on still enjoy, trump gave us 30 days and we used that time to sign new deals without you. mexico's president was right 7.5 billion people on this planet outside of the u.s.a. we dont need you we can just go on trading and doing business with each other and move forward without you. BUILD THE WALL BUILD THE WALL, and hurry up about it will ya

I am absolutely outraged what Trump is doing. We the People of the United States as A Democrat never Voted for a Felon to the Whitehouse. Trump wanted to be President so he wouldn’t do Time. \nHe won’t even disclose what is in the Epstein Files because he was part of it. He had these young girls at Mar O Lago. \nI STAND WITH UKRAINE, PALESTINE, CANADA, MEXICO AND ALL EUROPEAN LEADERS TO STAND UP TO TRUMP AND HIS IDIOTIC VICE PRESIDENT WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A WAR PHOTOGRAPHER AND DID NO COMBAT FIGHTING HE OVER FLATED HIS MILITARY RECORD. AS A FORMER NAVY CORPSMAN DEPLOYED TO OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOMS I SAW WHAT ROLE EVERYONE PLAYED. WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES AND THE UNIT BY FIRING OUR WEAPONS BUT WILL NEED TO GIVE LIFE SAVING CARE. \nTrump Needs to see how he is treating leaders in these countries and I tell Canada Turn the Power off in New York and any other State to prove a point and charge leaders an exorbitant amount of money for using Fuel from Canada.

I’m with Canada on this matter. We don’t betray our friends like that. I will commit my support on this issue by using whatever “freedom of speech” I have and by inserting my opposing view in pro-trump videos that speak ill of Canada. Thank you Trudeau, and I am sorry.

You're far too articulate and intelligent for 30-35% of Americans. Republican party started attacking our educational system in Reagan's administration (bc they don't want educated voters - who don't fall for the misinformation and FUD the R's use to get votes).

It's about money. Specifically Donald Trump getting as much money as possible from this term. Putin likely told him to make sure to distance America from its allies, so that he can use the USAs military gizmos to expand his mission to take over Ukraine amd any other country he wants. All this in exchange for making him and his cronies filthy rich. Trump keeps dropping clues about the plan. Elon, created Doge to weaken the economy even further so that the USAs assest are devalued and he can officially the US oligarchy. He's been in talks with Putin, we've seen them together. So now this Trump Gold card, is a way in for more oligarchs from Russia specifically to sweep up the remaining industries at a fraction of what they used to be valued. Then the USA will be the western arm of Putins empire. Since he made sure to obliterate all friendly relationships the US had with the western world, the other countries won't do anything to help the US so as to avoid all out war. Trump will then walk off into the sunset as one of the richest, if not the richest, man on earth.

This is what a president looks and sounds like! Intelligent, direct, formidable, respectful - that is how power should be used.

How about zero tariffs on goods between Canada and the USA. If you folks but from using the amount we buy you folks equal that amount.

Any chance he’ll use tonight to announce something about a financial reset since some of your folks have dollars now??

I say this to all Americans, t***p goes on and on about President McKinley as he used Tariffs on behalf of the US . Does he not realize McKinley was assassinated? McKinley was a nut job as well. I'm so sorry Canada for this childish rhetoric coming from our idiots in thief.

Trump needs stop using blackmail and strong arming mafia tactics on his allies. He might get what he wants, but burning lots of bridges while doing so.

Trudeau using simple basic English words to explain Trump is icing on the cake.???
