You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

The best diplomatic speech I've heard in my life.\nTogether we shall prevail.\nLet's buy Canadian products only starting today.

Now that he's on his way out, he gives his best speech ever?! American people, we thank you for words of support. NOW, figure out a way to get rid of Trump and the oligarchs. It will bring down democracy everywhere if America goes down this dictatorial path. WWIII will never be Zelenskyy's fault, it will be your country's fault. Ensure that he does not trample your constitution and find military backing to stay on past the four years if you can't get rid of him soon. Get your representatives in Washington to work against this guy, whether they are Republicans or Dems. In all our countries, we have been complacent, streaming movies, gaming, buying stuff we don't need AND we've elected far too many morons! We need to use the power of democracy to form government to our needs, not the corporate world and oligarchs!

I've never been so ashamed of our leadership.

Haha, canada thinks the loony means something. We've chosen to stop letting you fuck us, pardon me for calling it true.

I’ve never been to Canada I’ve always wanted to go visit. I’m from CT in the USA born and raised here. I’m ashamed of our government rn we must be the laughing stock of every other nation for all the INSANE EXECUTIVE ORDERS ONE AFTER ANOTHER WITH NO REAL INTENTIONS OR PLANS THAT WILL IMPROVE ANYTHING FOR THE USA! All while “Selecting” billionaire elites into prominent positions of power & these ppl have no background knowledge or experience whatsoever for the positions that they’re being selected for!! The whole world has gotta be laughing at us in the USA because this is insanity over here now!!!

I’ve always been a proud Canadian and always will be ??

One of the best speeches I've heard in a very long time and the facts are eye opening and all should be worried as there will be no winner and Canada will never be the 51st State. ❤❤❤.

I've been at odds with Justin on a few things, BUT I gotta say He's come out firing on all cylinders, and he's been totally Right on all of his focuses, he's Spot-On, You GO Justin, the People are with You!

What's weird. Is pre trump presidency. Even CNN was betrayed with maga supporters. Now? Where are they at in the comment section? How come they don't speak up now with their bullshit? We're in it now folks. And it's all of magas fault. Better forget your maga friends and don't give them any help at all during these times. THEY put us here. THEY can suffer alone. Way to go maga. You've made yourselves targets, and easy to spot targets as well with tyour diapers, ear patches and red hats. Youll never get approval from your communities for a long time, probably for your lifetime as yoive destroyed what our forefathers created. You've set us back generations. You'll never be accepted in this country again by anyone who knows you as a trumper. Might as well rid yourselves bow of this country and move to the Venezuela camos your king wants to build as you are the terrorists.

Have to say, I’ve enjoyed watching Trudeau being lambasted on numerous occasions. But this, well done sir. As others have said, this is how grown ups behave. Very impressive.

Justin don't take it personally because Donald Trump has one vile purpose which is solely to dismantle institutions and destroy the US. Re-electing was the dumbest thing Americans could've done and the whole world will feel it. We're embarrassed for him!

S T F U trudeau, your dumb policies and immigration practices is what's led to this. we've accepted your resignation, now please leave.

I ain’t going to deny that Donald should be named Dumbnald from now on. It is also undeniable that senile dementia hits the hardest to certain kind of guys, based on the way they’ve whacked their life with all kinds of excesses

You’ve done this to us all this time and no one yet to do you. That time is over

OH MY GOD TRUDEAU WILL YOU JUST LEAVE ALREADY!!!!! PUT POLLIEVRE IN POWER. IT IS NOT NORMAL THAT YOU ANNOUNCED YOUR DEPARTURE AND WE'RE WAITING FOR OUR NEW LEADER DURING THE HARDEST OF TIMES THAT YOU'VE PROVEN TIME AND AGAIN THAT YOU CAN'T HANDLE. PLEASE PASS THE F-ING TORCH!

Viva Trump! You’ve had years to do something. WEAK/SOFT!

I've got to release the stress somehow. Sharing truth is good for the soul

Canada can suck it. This isn't a trade war, this is America being done with catering to everyone. If it's a trade war it's only because of how those like Canada are taking it. We honestly don't need anything from Canada. We can do it ourselves, as we've done before.\nHow come it took this happening for Canada to finally speak out against several drug trafficking groups as the sick and twisted groups poisoning people on both sides of the border? Why couldn't you say that before?

The same idiot that called me a flat earth belivever because I didnt want the quickly pushed out covid jabs? The same moron who froze bank accounts after the fact when it was legal to give to the trucker protests? (he should be jailed just for that) The same imbecile that did nothing last year while the Canada Post workers strike before Christmas nearly destryoed my little business (just now by March 3 I've caught up ).. This f-tard has affected my life negatively far more than Trump ever has. I don't even want to hear what this black-face wearing WEF globalist puppet has to say. F off True Dope!

I wasn’t a fan of Trudeau before, but I’ve got to give him credit—he’s really stepping up for his country now. Firm, reasonable, no BS. Gotta respect that.

You know you’ve messed up bad when the government of your closest ally starts addressing you by your first name only.

commie news network, we don't care. you'd think you've learned your lesson with your pathetic ratings or the spankings you've received with just pure statistics, and yet you continue to play lefty games...canada will fold shortly, we don't need what they have.

He wouldn't know truth if it slapped him in the face. \n1. It's not a trade war. We've asked you to step up ,cooperate in ending Fentanyl/Border Crisis.\nAcusing us of ANYTHING ELSE IS A LIE.

He’s my Prime Minister!!! ??. Canada has done everything trump wanted but trump (true to form) has moved the goal posts. He never intended to honour his agreement with my country. ??. He’s a dishonourable man and he violated his own free trade agreement with Mexico the US and Canada. We are moving on from trusting the US. I’ve cancelled plans to vacation in the US. I will only buy Canadian or from our trusted allies (EU China Japan etc). I love the US but there are some very bizarre and stupid people in your country. Your greatest weakness. God help us all.

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 ?

You’re on your own Canada. You’ve been getting a free ride because of American tax dollars, and you do NOTHING for the US. The Bank of America is now CLOSED!!! We’ve been carrying you for almost 100 years!! It’s over. Spare us your Canadian BS.

Prepare for American invasion and takeover?Before, you could've had governorship of the 51st state..not anymore?

Russia and China laughing at this. They've achieved their goals without firing single bullet to American

Thats billionaire doing what they do best have us believe they are doing us a favor! I'm happy to say I didn't vote for him ever because I've experienced them to much in my life. All the fraud money won't be giving back to americans they will keep it for all the money he lost from being sued

We don't want this, either. <3 Canada is a wonderful country and neighbor. The true American people care. We can't say the same about the people hacking away at our government and profiting from it all. We're on your side, Trudeau, because real Americans are on the world's side. That's the actual truth despite the actions of the oligarchs here. We've been overrun.

I just learned this month how much we rely on Canada. This tarriff move is beyond ridiculous. All of us Americans do not support Trump so do what you've gotta do Canada.

7:50 I’ve watched it at least a couple of times and I can’t help but laugh when I see *Joly’s reaction to “… this is a very dumb thing to do!” ?\n*Melanie Joly. Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs. ??

After the last four years of the Biden Harris administration shitshow I think we'll live! We've been going two hundred billion dollars in the hole dealing with Canada Canada.

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

Looks like we’ve achieved to isolate ourselves from most of our allies, increase inflation, lay off thousands and possibly millions of people, all in less than a week. Very productive week, Mr. President.

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

It's unfortunate our current Prime Minister is on his way out. I sure hope my fellow Canadians do not elect Trump butt kisser Pierre polieve. Americans, we love you, we love to visit your beautiful country, every American I've met has been so friendly but America, how did you elect that trouble maker?

I’m in tears. Mr. Trudeau, thank you for supporting the US citizens as we try to figure out what we can do to get our friends back. I’d give anything to be a Maple Leaf if I can’t have my country back. I love Canada because they’ve always welcomed me. The people are freaking amazing and kind. I love our allies because we look out for each other. Canada, Mexico, Europe, Ukraine, etc., the American people love you and don’t want this insanity - not just liberal-minded people like me, but most all of us. Love to you all!

Thanks for what you've been doing lately, Trudeau. Come by for a beer sometime

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

I’ve never seen such a group of curated comments from people who are solely based on feelings. Silly people who don’t understand, but fall for nice words. Keep up your virtue signaling, but unfortunately it accomplishes nothing in the real world.

This is the first time I’ve seen a U.S. president flattering the Russians. Trump, do you think you’re worthy of President Reagan? Worthy of the many Americans who helped bring down the Soviet Union?

Mr. Trudeau, we've asked you to secure the border and stem the flow of drugs entering the U.S. But you want to cause chaos in our country. We don't appreciate you harming our country.

Usually I’m not interested in anything this guy says but for once, I agree with everything he said. Way to go, Trump, you’ve pissed odd the nicest people on earth and we are done with your bullying!

The shopping hierarchy is:\n\nProduct of Canada\nMade in Canada\nProduct of/Made in Mexico or EU\nProduct of/Made in China\nProduct of/Made in LITERALLY ANY OTHER COUNTRY THAN THE USA\nDo without it\nIf you can’t do without it, find one from a company in a blue state\n\nI’ve almost eliminated ALL American goods from my expenditures except for Sunkist oranges from California\n\nIt’s not the 20th century anymore and America isn’t the only operation in town. Anything anybody needs, they can get those needs filled without the USA.

I live in Washington State and I’ve stopped seeing “Beautiful British Columbia” license plates almost completely. Canada is not fucking around and I stand with them. They have been the best neighbors ever. ??❤️???

Filmed in March 2023. Please don’t post clickbait just to get people ticked off. We’ve got enough inflammatory rhetoric already.

Trump has always been a conman and malignant narcissist. But now add dementia into the mix so his decisions are based on partial info because he’s forgotten the rest of it. His judgement is worse with dementia. His copilot, Musk, is on Ketamine all the time so his judgement, as we’ve already seen, is not to be trusted either.

Im impressed i totally dislike Trudeau for what he's done to Canadians but I've never heard him speak so direct to America and Trump
