BRAVO, Prime Minister Trudeau! I am AMERICAN & I concur with everything you eloquently detailed! Our government is risking alienation from our multi-generational friends and I am against our president playing this whack-a-mole game with our valued Allies! ??‍♀️

I'm not with trump but listen to professor Sachs speech in the European parliament. This war was planned and financed by the USA. It all started in the 1990s.its a game that the elite and the MIC play . Who owns most of the mic, BlackRock. Who has the contract to rebuild Ukraine, BlackRock. Who will mine Ukraine resources, BlackRock. Welcome to the game\n We are nothing more than porns. In all the movies growing up who are the villains? Russia, China, Middle East terrorist. One guess who the heroes are. Yep the USA propaganda feed to the masses through entertainment.

I can tell y’all dont play chess ♟️ Politics is just like a chess game with more pieces. This guy is about to leave office and when the next prime minister comes watch what happens ? this “trade war” is a bluff to make them do what we want, checker players ? no American nor Canadian will be hurt during this genius move ? look at Mexican president feeling the pressure that they coughed up 29 cartel members and they just got extradited to New York including one that killed a US DEA agent in 1985! With the threat of tariffs the Colombian president changed his mind about picking up his own people that crossed our border illegally instantly. He even sent his own planes ✈️ to get them. Our tariffs is to bring jobs back to America ?? and a major negotiating tool. Ya’ll confused Democrats in the comment section don’t even know what planet ? you standing on.

Ca ada and mexicoare just crying all bc they have to pay to usz fif all they produced look you all idiots leaders from Canada and Mexico Trump it's not playing games or gi en nothing free to one no what don't you both leaders mexican n Canadian and the rest that have been criying take it or leave it now that usa leader step on your heals please stop.criying and pay your share to the USA CITIZENS

As an American, I do not want this either! I did not vote for this and I am feeling very helpless. I am a NEVER TRUMPER. Trump is a bully and a narcissist and I don’t think there is any reasoning with this man. You have to stroke his ego and I wouldn’t blame you for not playing games with our impetuous childish President. Additionally, many are stuck in the illusory effect better know as the big lie effect. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes “true”. Narcissists are dangerous people especially when they are given power. We love you Canada?? I am so incredibly sorry.

They're all playing the game pretending to fight one another when in fact they are just tightening the net on your Freedoms. Take Notice.

This is the part where they play the Match Game clip....'Dumb Donald is Reeeeaaally Dumb!'...<Next Line Please>

Justin Trudeau is a fool who is playing a game that he cannot possibly win and will exponentially damage Canadian citizens while he blames the US government for his response which is exactly the same as the person he’s blaming

What a weak spineless man, as are all Canadians. He will bow to trump. He's not ready to play games with trump

### **Americans, Wake Up Before It’s Too Late!** \n \nDo you realize what’s happening? **Donald Trump is pushing the world toward World War III.** This is not a conspiracy, this is not speculation—this is reality. A man who **wears two diapers and has little time left to live** doesn’t care what happens after he’s gone. He has no vision for the future, because in his mind, **there is no future.** \n \nThis is just the beginning. **If you think things are bad now, imagine what’s coming next.** Trump and his billionaire allies, including **Elon Musk**, are playing a dangerous game, one that could **end civilization as we know it.** These are not leaders—they are reckless, power-hungry individuals with no regard for the world that you and your children will inherit. \n \n? **Trump must be impeached before he takes us all down with him!** \n? **Musk must be held accountable before his reckless ambitions destroy what’s left of our planet!** \n \nThis is not about politics. This is about survival. **The future of humanity depends on our ability to stop them now!**

I’m American and I believe In Equal Tariffs … You charge 20 we should charge 20 but if you want to go higher I feel sure PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP Will play your game to ..

Making an enemy of Trump is not going to work. Trudeau has no way of knowing who is coming here illegally. Our border is far too gigantic and mostly unguarded. Secure the border and Trump will back off. Your second choice will be 3rd world war. If you think Putin is going to go backwards on this you are mistaken. The Russians have invested the lives of thousands of their children so far. You don't seem to understand how dangerous a game you are playing. You are naive Trudeau and leading us to the brink of hell.

These guys cooperated during Covid lockdowns, I hope they are not just playing a game to impose economic lockdowns.

We love you Canada. Please forgive us. We have an idiot playing dangerous games and hurting the most important, longstanding alliances.

NOTHING will ever be enough for the Dumb FELON!! HE PLAYS GAMES LIKE A CHILD!!!

As a Canadian, I have to say that we must get rid of Trudeau ASAP. This man is dangerous. How can he form alliances with Europe when our principal economic partner is the United-States. He's playing a very dangerous game and I don't like it one bit!

Stop Donelon! They are playing a dangerous intimidation game.

Wow, Trump is good. Shook Canada to listen and work now. I am sure he has their attention, and an a few weeks, he will fix these tariffs. The point here is he is not playing any games with the world and he is putting America first best to work with then against America.

Canada we don't need yal. Canada alway get billions from America. Bye. Canada wasn't a country until all the countries invested billions every year into a program. Canada is a experiment. Drugs come across your borders look up all the evidence. You started yesterday on securing the borders? Why? Because of the 25% tariffs, right? Why your government didn't start before the tariffs? But you mad because you didn't stick to your word ,7 years ago about securing the borders. You playing mind games to the people who lack education. But people do read government documents. You waited til the 25% tariffs started. Take accountability for Canada government mistakes.

Proud Canadian here!!!! Soon enough the Americans will regret and feel sorry.... it's so sad US is led by a big fat bully who is so lack of proper vocabs and is only interested in playing kiddy games!!

The tariffs are on all countries importing into the U.S. \nYou either build in the U.S. or have higher tariffs, it’s a strategy to build more business and jobs in the U.S. \nFixing the U.S. economy that is $36 TRILLION in Debt, while cutting off foolish spending in USAID. Do you have a problem with that?\n\nThe decision to befriend Russia is not cause Trump is pro-Putin, but to end a war Zelenskyy wants to continue for years, an utterly unnecessary war where thousands are dying for no reason, and billions spent on war when you can spend it on building up the economy (we already gave Zelensky 300 BILLION of our taxpayer money and Ukraine isn’t winning). The goal is to end unnecessary dying and to prevent WW3 nukes flying. Only complete fools think playing games with NUKES is a good idea, pointing a finger at you NATO!\n\nWhen NUKES fly, we are literally f…..ed!!!!

Governor just stop. No one cares. We’re not playing the short petty game. USA USA

Yes, I agree ,Trump is an asshole! playing games for his own gain!

Why is he still around dont play games with putin his a killer shut up

Hey Prime stupid ass you asked for it you got it keep your feet a little threats to yourself you're dealing with the United States now we're not playing any more games with anybody you want to talk about the strongest Nation you're about to witness it sit back grab a drink and watch us go

Trump's playing hard ball with Canada and the hockey game won't be pretty

don’t be fool peasants they all in on it all the governments about the tariff wars just to raise prices on all of you don’t play the games

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

Let this sink in, tariffs / taxes are debt on the tax payers back not the government's, government take taxes, reciprocal tariffs are just other taxes paid by other businesses in other countries to main government. The only way for the tax payer to prosper is by not to playing in the game by being more self sufficient, which obviously government do not like as it is untaxable. Thus regulations on self sufficiency by governments. Now you know who serves who.

I am wondering what is the end game here. It is interesting if wasn't so hurtful to all the world to see this play out.

This is not His Majesty Mrs Musk playing 23rd dimensional chess. This is what happens when an incompetent manchild ,who started his journey in life with a pocket full of house money, feels aggrieved for imaginary slights and believes they are the smartest person in the room. Donny Dullard is none of that. He is NOT playing chess. His staff put out his box of dull, over-sized crayons so he can cheat at another game of tic-tac-toe.

Listen B 4real everyone. President Trump had 2c all his allies back him. Defend him. During President Trump's campaign, he gave clear instructions on these plans. Some 4 the citizens. Some financial issues. Safety crisis as well. ?? & ?? Thought he, President Donald Trump, was playing games. Guess what he gave grace but wasn't lying. Canadians spokesperson, clean up in-house 1st. U should be out. Where is the, newly elect??‍????. Message 4 the newbie. He's not playing pls recognize.?? Certain games shouldn't be played. If ? ? get turned off, then u playing the wrong games. ⛽️ about damn time u turn off the tap or sell it 4 ? . Just giving away 4 free??‍♂️??‍♂️??‍♂️ ?? joying cheat Fuel laughing at us. Shut the Fuel off or just a slow dripp ? That Keystone Canadian contribution section should be 4 years ahead of the ??. Just overall bad planning on Both ?? and ?? The rest of the world is getting tariffs as well. We up 1st ? Sorry spokesperson JT do some real work finally. Enough with ur gums, IT'S NOT u. Sekkle urself. 4 years to stop a war???Maybe them 2 can't do no good in the ? of the past!!! WAR GAMES are almost OVER.??

Canada will vote this woke president out. Fair enough. Reciprocal tariffs. It’s not a trade war. It’s trade fairness. Every advanced country depends on trade with other advanced country and China. In fact Germany depends heavily on Russian energy which they’re now buying for a much higher price via other channels. So screw playing nice. Get with the game Canada and Europe unless you can hold your own

Trump is playing Dumb n Dumber game.

Well done. Good on you Canada. Two can play the same game.

Well u should have helped our country like trump asked you to do!!!! He warned you and you didn’t lift a finger so us taxpayers can give you the finger!! ?. ? u think Trump was playing games???!!! Why was your border still opened allowing illegals in our country??!!! They were flying in thru plane and just walk thru Canada & u did nothing about it!!!????

I know reality is so much more complicated than most people are capable to understand, but we need to stick together no matter what.\nThe 'elites' are constantly bored and they are playing their nas ty little games with the rest of the planet, like always it's the most disadvantaged and vulnerable who will suffer the most.\n\nRussia and China are destabilizing the 'West' with everything they got, they are using religious institutions, they are spreading misinformation online, they are financing corrupt politicians and even more corrupt institutions.\nThey will keep doing that until our systems start crumbling, first we will lose our democracy, follwed by basic human rights and the freedom to choose anything concerning your own life ... history is once again recycling itself and the reta rds among us will drag us down with them, we need to push back, no matter the price, we need to protect our values for future generations.

..when usa goes to Canada to play a game, canadians should play russian anthem instead of usa anthem.. its kinda the same thing nowadays..

Trudeau holds no punches I ain't mad at him he is standing on business KUDOS TO him he play no games ??????

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

We all know it was never about DRUGS and Illegal immigrants anyone with a brain should know it was always about the MONEY, ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY. Trump should of just told them honestly, no more FREE period instead of making these countries put resources at the border. Trump play a game to get 2 for 1 by making them secure the borders and making them pay tariffs all at the cost of the American people if Americans do stuffer. But I do again with the tariffs everyone should pay considering that all the factories run to these foreign countries for cheaper labor, and Americans are your biggest buyers. Any country who wants FREE should be ashamed of themselves. Maybe Canada should be free US and Canada had a good relationship. But Mexico and China NOT at all.

The American people who voted for Trump ought to be totally ashamed - he is only interested with his good friend Putin and wants to strip Ukraine of his precious minerals. Stay strong Canada and play him at his own game.

This is win win for both Canadian and American politicians they basically evened out the playing field and now both citizens from both countries will have to pay more for things. Easy way to trick the citizens we lose they win. They are all in this game together popping bottles and partying.

Bro you’ve done nothing good, play stupid games win stupid prizes

It's not Anti Amercanism, its politicians and money.\nWe love you, we are not playing your president's threat games, we are responding to protect our economy.\nBroadcasters would do well to carefully weigh their spins right now, this is not a drama, it's real?.\nWe want to support American businesses.\nThis is all unneccesarily crazy and scary.\nLong live Diplomacy and Democracy.\n❤?❤

Kentucky here. Good riddance Canada. Exactly what we voted for. You need us more than we need you. You take of advantage of America and expect us to just sit and take it. Guess what we don’t play that game no more. So kiss our American butts and get over it. Trump 4-Ever. MAGA till we die.

Cut off the oil and power now toot sweet make t rump play your game..?

Trump is still putin's b...tch like all the rest of republikkkans. They're fools playing his game, so in end America finally will be isolated with no allies. When that happens, trump will know who's really against America.

Canada is scared because they need US more then we need them. The US will feel less pain from this if Canada wants to play games. All I see is a scared Trudeau who gave a good speech
