Im hopeful for a stronger Canada-Europe trade relationship coming from this. Canadians have always been well regarded here, so I welcome a stronger partnership with less hurdles in trade and travel.

I can’t stand his oration . He comes across condescending. We are nice just be cool USA

Trump = Trojan . \nI will said it a million times . \nAmerica dark times is coming

Very polite country \nTrumph rude speak that is the attitude of the rich people no educated no experience for politics poor america?? war is coming ??

Scary .what's to come ..have no idea ....

Canadians come to America for health care. Their country makes them wait too long for help.

Dear Canadian neighbors. \n I apologize for our crazy Karen’s trump and musk. \n Please be patient. \n I think we will both come through this in the long run. \n You are so lucky to have a President who cares for ALL OF YOU. \n A REAL MAN, not a BULLY. \n This will indeed be tough times for all of us. \n God Bless God Speed\n from USA

This is BEYOND enraging and embarrassing as an American. Trump is the biggest danger to the world and world peace! Millions of us Americans support you Canada and Ukraine! And Trumps supporters sure are quiet about those supposed “cheap eggs” here comes the disastrous tariffs!

I get all the commentary lifting Trudeau up but when i heard that he is like on his last couple of days of his term i couldn't help but feel that noone so far anyways has come out and let lose with the hard hitting, proper Grammer and clean nice language be dammed, no not anyone to speak to this wannabe hard guy which this guy absolutely is not - trust me , and i get it he is 80 years old, but if you watch him in his 60s and 50's and going back to his youth he never could bust a grape; just all bluster , daddy's money, and when it came time to pay some rent .. he'd pay someone else to do it. A coward thru and thru.

Why was fentanyl coming from Canada? They manufacture it?

Just goes to show what a pathetic imbelsil Trump really is , how the hell has it come to this ?

Lex Luther was always Supermans friend , greatest guys I know , Putin and Trump ! Bringing to you on the world stage , chaos , division , and bondage unto submission ! LETS MAKE A DEAL , COME ON DOWN !!!???

Wirh one speech Tradeau has come back

Trump is trying to weaken our country so he can then hand it over easily to Russia. I will not bow to Russia. Russia, come and try to take this country and find out!!!

My heart hurts watching this. As an American, I respect and agree with Prime Minister Trudeau. Canada has been a kind and generous ally, and our current government leaders are just coming up with excuses for this stupid ass trade war. \n\nI am so sorry to all the Canadian citizens whom this negatively impacts. I hope you will show grace to those of us who voted against Trump and who continue to stand up to this tyrant.

All Canada has to do is stop the Fentanyl coming across the border! Its that simple!

aren't there ANY possible legal ways at all to stop them in their tracks?, english is not my first language and i learnt it late in life, but words like impeachment come to mind, along with criminal offences, felony charges for corruption, espionage and so on. Street protests?, mass complainings to your representatives?... i do not really know what you can do in your country (i'm in europe), but please do something, get your country back!... thanks for reading

This coming from a guy who resigned because his political views have crippled his party.

Come on USA, stand up to Trump! Strength in numbers

Papa, why can't we eat McDonald's every night no more?\nWell billybob, most of your big mac ingredients comes from Mexico, so the price went up 25%.\nCan we still get lunch from KFC Papa?\nNo billybob, most of the chicken comes from Mexico too...\nWhy is this happening Papa?\nI don't know billybob, just be happy our Tennessee whiskey is suddenly reaaly cheap and they are giving it away...see, Pastor Donnie is Making America Drunker Again...\n\nSatirical comments from Australia.

As an American, I stand with Canada! Also, can I come live with you guys? i don't like it here anymore.

Canada, I am standing with you from NC. Your leader and government are responding in an appropriate manner. trump and vance have brought shame to the US. All the lives that our country has lost in wars were not sacrificed to come to this moment.

The people cheering this move by Trump are the same people who complained groceries prices were too high under Biden during the election. Well, buckle the F up because you all asked for what's coming.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump is just putting the same tariffs on them that they already put on us.\nStop those drugs from coming across

Great speech Mr. Trudeau can you come down and teach Trump how to speak properly? Please. TRUMP IS SO EMBARRASSING

Trump has completely turned around when it comes to Canada and Ukraine.

Hey trump. Try speaking like this. Start by not lying. You can tell when trump is lying. It's whenever there's noise coming out of his mouth.

Excellent speech coming from a man I don't particularly like. I feel a sense of strength, pride and resilience, and I'm neither American nor Canadian.

Ukrainian woman, whose heart is broken by fear for our Army and the people going to die without the US military support on the coming weeks and months, I stand with Canada. America, what have you let done to yourself?

? all the H1-Visa workers came from your country and came to America. Now they have brang all their parents, Grandparents to come leach off free medical and food stamps!!

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

Stop every drop of Canadian oil and gas exports to the US now, tell Trump he will be crippled, and more to come. It’s more than dumb Trump , it’s psychotic Trump

Mr Trudeau is extraordinarily soft, soft as feathers, it really amazes me that Canada and Mexico rush the all month of Jan and Feb to captures felons to avoid tariffs, very poor speech. He claims that he is doing it to protect the people from Canada the real question is why you didn’t do it before.\nClaudia Sheinbaum also rushing to capture the bad guys, when clearly Trump is offering help to capture the corrupt politicians and cartel lords but No, instead she delivers 29 guys that were already captured and been in jail for years… What it’s this ? It’s like ordering a Ribeye steak and getting a pizza. Come on !!

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

This is comedy coming from Canada dictator. Worst PM ever for Canada!

Canada ? come join us in the European Union

Come tech richie rich?

Donald wants to hurt Canada so they vote out Justin because he hates Justin. He want conservatives in Canada to come into power so they can bend over in front of Donald and ultimately destroy Canadian economy and the US can take possession of all of Canadian resources. I'm just waiting for Donald's funeral.

This is really what we need in the US, someone who is doing what he says and not falling apart as a country. Come on yall, get rid of the cheeto president.

Trump told you to stop the fentanyl going over the border into America !! and you chose not to ,,, now there’s 25% tariffs you have yourself to blame. Simple as that. Half the stuff that comes out of your mouth is a lie.

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

The only thing Trudeau got wrong was calling Trump smart, I mean come on, that should have been a doozy!

If tRump ever came back to say something , about what Prime Minister Trudeau is saying it would be something really stupid. tRump is destroying this country and we will never come back from this, ever.

All countries from this point forward should quit trading with the US in any way whatsoever let them survive on their own let them come up with their own chips let them come up with their own minerals let them come up with everything everybody else deal and trade with one another around the world and just let the states rot

Trumps stupid but hes not that stupid surely? ? Why do I have a feeling that a great deal of items he's put tarrifs on will be coming from Russia soon and this has been the plan along. Just saying!\nIt just feels so contrived and I cant believe Trump hasnt got a go to! ?

No kidding this is what Amercias adversaries want....it was has been planned for quite some time.....what do you think they discussed in Saudi Arabia? There's a lot more coming. Top notch reporting here ;)

As somebody who works in the retail business, you hit the nail with the hammer on this one we!! we do need the pot as it comes from your guys’s mines so we can grow stuff

Why don't the gloves come off, and we all get to the obvious reality. Trump is doing all he possibly can to sabotage the USA. People need to actually say this out loud and not keep it hidden in the back of their mind. Every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is doing all he can to sink the USA, probably under Putin's orders. A foreign enemy agent is running the USA, this needs to be said in the open by everyone.

Yeah, most of Americans don’t want this either. Many Americans who voted for whoever is really acting as president are regretting and those of us who didn’t, saw this coming a mile away.
