Spoken like a true leader of a country. One who speaks of allies and cooperation in an international environment. ??

I stand with Canada on this one. American/British citizen here in state of Idaho.

Hey America I’m sorry I’m laughing at you guys. Hey love from Denmark.??? you guys will lose on this one

That fact that the Prime Minister speaks of Canada as a whole and for all Canadians speaks volumes. Where Donald always speaks against our country not being one.

As a Canadian citizen I have always admired the US up until now, I sincerely wanted to move to the US to build homes and start up a company. But now am re-evaluating my decision because if this how the US treats their friends and allies, I really feel sad for their enemies. Both countries benefited from having a good relationship and now the great US has no one willing to challenge Mr Trump on this idiotic move, America is alienating themselves from a lot of countries and regular Americans are the ones who are going to suffer from this fall-out, the rich won't be affected but regular working class folks your stress is going to get a whole lot worse and that's unfortunate. Hopefully US wises up sooner rather than later and stop blaming immigration for their problems it's poor governing and politicians that have us looking at each other as enemies rather than humans with the same struggle and issues. They have money to send annually overseas but none to improve the life of their citizens in need, that should tell you something. People that don't look like you aren't your enemies, people who try to harm you, undermine you are your enemies. People are just searching for a better life that's all, the most basic thing humans have in common, change the red tape a make things more structured and rid your country of the bad apples and welcome those willing to work, build and serve God and the country. May God help us all the beginning of Sorrows has begun ?.

One side of my family fought with George Washington at the Battle of Monmouth. I am registered member of a federally recognized Native American tribe. \n\nI stand with Canada .?? \n\nAmerica has lost its way.

The border is a smoke screen for what Trump wants...our resources gor nothing. He says the US doesn't need anything, yet he wants, Canada, Greenland, Gaza, and is holding Aid over Ukraine's head for an unfair trade deal of resources. He wants everything his greedy little hands can grab. \n\nI am glad my government is getting more trustworthy trade partners because we should never be so reliant on trade with the US again. \n\nWe are boycotting US goods, services, and destinations. The bond will never be the same. Once you lose trust, it isn't so easy to ear it back. We can't trust Trump and who knows if the one after him will be any better.

One of the rare Trudeau’s speeches that’s worth listening to.

Trudeau youre not winning this one. Sit with the admin and reach a deal. Canada will get hurt even more.

I agree with everything Mr Trudeau said EXCEPT that T is a smart guy. Absolutely untrue. He is one of the number of VERY dumb politicians in the republican party right now.

trump is a dictator too stupid for his own good i hope america wakes up and oust this idiot! the world is aligning up against trump when no one buys your product no one visits your country be carefull what you wish for!

As a Canadian, this made me feel very patriotic :) I once heard someone say that Justin’s father possesses him in times of crisis, and that’s why he gives such rousing speeches despite being criticized for being a bit passive at other times, but I’ll give Justin full credit for this one.

Donald will break his own arm trying to twist Justin’s arm. Canada is no Ukraine. Trump has bitten more than he can chew. Good luck Americans. Your Administrations both the current and one in the past are your worst enemies. Both the Democracy’s and the Republicans have let you down. Wake up, the world does not revolve around you.

Slightly less than half of us are completely horrified by our government. Don’t blame ya one bit Canada. Much respect and thanks for the friendship over the years. Hope somehow we can regain trust in the future. ??

Specific to one American - Donald.\nSo now he can't duck but respond with intelligence and not ignorance.

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

The Canadian Prime Minister got one thing wrong....Donald is a very stupid person.

I just live here, I’m not one of the ones who voted for this clown ?…

Our US president should take a good look at Justin's way of speaking. Very firm, but very diplomatic. He carries hisself very well. Teach the u.s. president how one behaves as a president. Way to go Justin\n\n\n\nQ

One man lost is another man's gain.\n\nThis is a great opportunity for the rest of the world.

It is incomprehensible to me that one stupid man has such power. How can we have a system that allows this?

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

Must be nice to have an actual leader. I remember when we could've had one.

I stand with Trump on this one.

US President Krasnov-Trump appears to have but one mission: dismantle the USA

How about Gaza.\nNo one Angry with Israel or US\nInstead they support happily.\nBut now Angry because of Tarif.\nYelling & Yelling. What a selfishness.\nNo respect.

This is a small voice from Asia. I would say that the world is watching this event interestingly. U.S. policy can turn around 180° with just one person. You can do this to your friend, your ally. Can anyone trust you anymore?

Not a fan of Trudeau but I got to admit it’s nice seeing him unleash. One of the best speech I’ve heard from a Canadian prime minister and he’s finally showing balls

Why hi is still there? He is nobody and most Canadians hate him. Canada need different person to make a deal with Trump, not this one.

That man is an ass hat. One of the worst leaders Canada has ever had.

I am Canadian. My heart breaks for Canada. The US always being our ally, now it will become our enemy only because of one man's unjustified and irrational move. God help us!!

wow he tried to persuade american to turn against their own goverment.. you know why this wars happens in the first place.. its about security.. remember he was the one who F'ed his own people earlier..

Question; is Trump’s family tree Russian ? I’m trying to figure out Trumps love affair with Putin ?\nCanadians are strong and will pull together as one. When things get tough we step up. We have done this many times when other countries were in need of help, Canadians step up. Now we will step up, and help our country.

To all Canadian's, I did not vote for him and tried to convince others of how bad his was, but here we are. I love Canada. I have been to Canada several times and the people have been so warm and welcoming. It is beyond sad to see this happening. He's a traitor and I don't understand why someone can't arrest him and his gang of thugs. Trust me there are a lot of people here who do not want this. I'm a 71 yr. old with lots of medical issues. I wish I could have done more to stop this. I've always wanted to see Banff. Hopefully, one day I will be welcomed back.

Wirh one speech Tradeau has come back

So much respect for you, sir. Showing what a real leader is supposed to act like. be like. My one great country has been taken over by right wing extremists. Put into power by my fellow Americans who have just lost their way. Bought into all the hate that he has brought. This American has always thought of Canada as a major friend. And will continue to do so. This American stands with Canada I stand with Ukraine I stand against Putin and always will.

Its unfortunate when you keep hearing smart, thoughtful, well spoken, empathetic world leaders....and not once are one of those world leaders Your leader who just got into office....Trump is a failure in every way possible and hopefully all that McDonalds catches up with him and he will fail at being alive too

What a fool. He’s hurting Canadians and no one else.

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

Aloha Prime Minister, Trudeau, and Canadiens, the majority in this country can’t stand the current administration in our embarrassed, concerned, and want him out along with every MAGA moron selling this country out! I am so angry and disgusted! I apologize for our horrific leadership and I hope one day the people who are responsible for what is happening will be charged with sedition and espionage! I’ve had it

Give me a break he didn’t say one thing about balancing the trade deficit!!!\nThe USA has the highest trade deficit in the world with over 200 countries….\nOthers have made moves to fix the trade deficit just like Toyota did by building what they sell here in the USA ??

This situation is far worse for Canada than for the U.S. Trudeau knows this. History is being made. I would say this will be viewed either as one of the smartest political moves by a U.S president, or perhaps one of the dumbest. Time will tell. One thing I would say is never underestimate president Trump. Every time he has been undermined, underestimated, and disregarded he has came back on top. Welcome to 2025

40 million people live in Canada. I’m sure USA would do alright without Canada. This clown speaks on Americans like he is one, truly disrespectful. This guy is a big talker like Obama but soft. People like him are what causes stagnation and unemployment. Trump sells strength security fairness. Sorry if it hurts your little feelings.

Day one of Trump's grand stupidity, I mean tariff plan.

Well done PM TREADAU . Europe has to back up Canada fully. we need to put this nasty sick russian TRUMPET in its place!! Who wud thought one day the UNITED STATES that we all love stands next to communist and dictatorships !!? love from Manchester

In one stroke, Donny gave Trudeau a huge political advantage. Poor Polivere is tearing his hair apart.

Trump believes the fairytale that America doesn't need it's old allies because Russia(Putin) would never attack America. Talk about all your eggs in one wonky basket!

Good luck on that one

No one cares who you are or eho you support

How do we get one office power to affect us around the country without the Senate and the United States Congress have a input on the matter ‼️?????????
