Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

Trudeau is doing exactly what the Canadian people need a leader to do. Weather Trudeau is leaving office or not has no bearing on his actions in the trade war. Long live the free world, with or without the USA.

Was Trudeau so nice when he stressed out the Canadian Truck Drivers? Didn’t that hurt Canadian families? This man is delusional!

Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken calmly the Truth of the situation, that Trump has imposed upon Canada and the USA.\nTrump does not care how much American people will Suffer, and has utter contempt for Canadians.\nThese Tariffs are Stupid and Pointless, that will do no good for Canada or the USA, and will hurt the USA the Most.

American here. Sad and dismayed at all this, hoping my Canadian friends believe that not all of us are on board. Trudeau shines here as a true leader- you guys are fortunate

I am a Canadian. I wish our jackass , so called PM would keep his very stupid mouth shut. We just hate the SOB. Trump hates him too and for good reasons. I wish Trudeau would just disappear and go to hell. He is such a scum bag . He should realize he is a f’n nobody in the grand scheme of things. Most people in Canada hate him. He should have called an election immediately. Instead he is aggravating the situation by his stupidity.

Remember when Trudeau froze the bank accounts of truckers who dared to protest against him? He sounds scared in this speech, Canadians need to remove him from office for their own prosperity and freedom.

Trump doesn't care what Trudeau thinks, just like Canadians don't care anymore either.

Bravo Pm Trudeau we stand firm stand us as a Canadian citizens

Trudeau is a crook. His country hates him. He has screwed Canadian's for years to line his own pockets.

Being a Canadian, originally from South Asia (NEPAL), I would like to express my huge RESPECT to our honorable Prime Minister ! A political leader of a country should be like Mr. Trudeau!!!\nRespect ?and proud of you, Hon. PM !

I don't know what Canadians have against Trudeau but I'd gladly take him as president over Trump in a heartbeat.

Trudeau has harmed Canadians way more than Trump ever could. It's really rich to hear this speech from his mouth.

Canadians are frustrated and are choosing to stop buying U.S. products, but Trudeau escalating tensions into a trade war with a partner is just escalating the issue. Plus Canada cannot win this battle. \n\nLeadership change - Trudeau needs to go. Every time Trudeau opens and closes the door he creates a mess. \n\n(Note: open discussions on current events is essential, its too bad the Canadian shut down our rights to speak on media platforms)

Good to see Trudeau go to war with someone other than the Canadian people. ???

Doug Ford or Trudeau’s reciprocal actions against the U.S. are secondary to me as a Canadian. For days, they’ve been misleading the public with talk of imposing tariffs on U.S. goods or cutting power supply, but that’s not the real issue. \n \nWhat truly matters is how our government is actively mitigating the economic impact. Are they securing new markets? Have they repaired strained relations with China, which were damaged in 2021 over the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou to appease the U.S.? Are we expanding oil exports to Japan, India, or China? Have we dispatched trade delegations worldwide to open new opportunities? \n \nWrong move. Canada doesn't have a functioning government. There is no mandate. The Prime Minister has resigned. Parliament is not in session. There is no reason to escalate. The focus should be on finding a solution the root cause of why the tariff was put in place over the border and fentanyl. \n \nIf not, then all these moves by Ford or Trudeau are meaningless—just political maneuvering to distract Canadians from the real problem.

Excellent speech from PM Trudeau! An example of true leadership! From Illinois and standing with my Canadian friends and allies! Trump, Vance, and Musk are repulsive, sickening, and a shameful embarrassment to the US! I hope the US can recover someday. ?

Trudeau caused this by shit talking Trump in his first term. Im Canadian

You guys are forgetting trudeau is unilaterally hated by all canadians and stepping down ???

Only he wasn't speaking directly to trump. He was speaking to a camera. Pretending to be a tough guy. \nAlso he said Canadians are reasonable and polite... except for the fact that a buncha drunken bostonians still behaved better than every Canadian hockey fan that ever existed a couple weeks ago when the Canadians booed our national anthem. \nF canada. F trudeau what a scumbag.

Trump fentanyl with Canada is BS he destroyed in one month generation of Neighbors Allies Partners Friends Trudeau is not Liang to Canadian like you are to the Americans this is going to hurt both and is not going to make America golden ??????

Well said Justin. You are really showing your chops! I You are polite and you have backbone! We have seen such great leadership from Trudeau and Zelensky! How does the world support Canadians?

We Canadians are screwed having this loser as our PM he's a member of a fringe minority with unacceptable views... Trudeau breaks law after law scandal after scandal when will he be held accountable.....

Don’t tariff America. As a Canadian two wrongs don’t make it right. Get the energy out. Triple our global output. Our autoworkers need jobs well let’s build Trudeau. Talk and winning. Global energy. Let BYD in with out tariffs. We don’t have an auto sector anymore. ? BYD and get over it ( the eagles ?). Trump is correct at our lack of defence. Maybe this will help. The only way to scourge out of fentanyl is a clean source and less social stigmatization of the sick. Don’t expect a smart man like trump to figure that out.

Stop lieing to us its TRUDEAU THATS A DICTATOR AND SO IS ZELINSKI.... I THOUGHT YOU RESIGNED WHY ARE YOU EVEN SPEAKING FOR CANADIANS AT ALL ... GO AWAY

We are all Canadians.... Bravo Trudeau!

Trudeau understood the assignment. He knew exactly who he was speaking to: not just to Canadians but directly to Americans and beyond.

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.

To Justin Trudeau, any thought to cut up Felon Musk's Canadian Passport, I bet he will slow down and tell his vice president trump to back off, he is causing everyone even his best friend to lose money, check out any deals he has in Canada and cancel, make them hurt then some reality might slap them and they can see this shit don't happen in 2025!!!

Justine Trudeau speaks the truth on Trump's , bad judgements, At least our Prime Minister stands up to bullies , We as Canadians will stand in Pride United against Trump, Enough?

Wait a second. Didn't Trudeau freeze the bank accounts of Canadians who were protesting government policy back in 2022? WHO CARES WHAT THIS COMMUNIST SAYS???

As a Canadian I have to say that Trudeau is the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history! He destroyed our country and economy. He doesn't respect Trump and Canadian people. That's why we are in this mess!

From Ukraine with respect. A few decades ago our school hired a Canadian as a native speaker to teach us some spoken English. He was not very smart and made some grammar mistakes here and there. But what surprised me is how on his 1st day he tried to make a joke, smth. “We, Canadians, have nothing to apologize for, except for Celine Dion”. He startled to giggle, searching our faces for a sign of approval. There was none! We love Celine! To this day it astounds me how many Canadians badmouth their great singer or their own Prime minister. What is wrong with you? Like every Canadian I’ve met kept saying many unpleasant things of Trudeau. You should be proud of your prime minister the way you are proud to be Canadians and slow down on insulting him!

Like most Canadians, I hate Trudeau and can't wait for him to be gone, and hopefully in jail for what he did to this country\nBUT\nThat was a pretty good speech. Hopefully Pierre Polievre will be able to fix all this stupid.\n\nELBOWS UP!

Hell yeah Trudeau! The canadian whiskey is gonna hurt though.

I'm a Canadian and Justin Trudeau stepped down as our leader but that buffoon instill going around acting like he speaks for Canadians when HE DOESN'T. His party has suspended our parliament because the where going to be forced into an election so they are up to their old scams and trying to put a globalist corrupt pos to replace him. We wish we had a real leader like Trump and if the liberals find a way to steal this election that is coming sign me up to become the 51st state

since when does Trudeau care about the wellbeing of Canadians?

PM Trudeau, together with the Canadian people, thank you for taking a stand, not backing down and act accordingly. Realizing it will have serious consequences for all, Canadians and Americans alike. I hope we’ll stand as straight from Europe. The democratic world should work together and unify efforts to take measurements to show we will not be pressured either by the US or Russia.

As a Canadian who won’t be voting Liberal mostly because of Trudeau , this is one of his best speeches and I’m glad he’s standing up for us!

Mr Trudeau must understand, the majority of Americans voted to financially destroy Canada and then seizevit by military force for two simple reasons, 1) Natural Resources and 2) so United Healthcare can privatize healthcare and exorbitantly charge every single former Canadian outrageous health insurance fees, then deny services.

Trudeau is a weak man and Canada will see yet again just why. Canadian tariffs have already been in place against Americans.

What would make Canadian conservatives not be pro Trump? And/or not blame Trudeau and the center/left of center Canadian national government? Don’t they think that a Conservative PM would react the same way Trudeau is reacting?

? Oh Mr. Trudeau, you are a real gentleman and a leader. We need a man like you right here in América. This wanna be dictator is just insane.\nI apologize to you and the Canadian people for this disgraceful economic war.\nCanadians, don't give up!\nDaniel.

Trudeau, where is your proof that Mr. Putin is a lying murderous dictator, other than your globalist talking points and this mysterious rules-based order conveniently rolled out and articulated by you and other Western leaders only when it serves to bamboozle the Canadian people. Oh, that's right. The truth is that Canada and its Western allies have done much worse than Vladimir Putin, unfortunately many Canadians have been indoctrinated by this silly rhetoric, and more importantly, their are many Canadians that simply see through your lies and remain vigilant for Canada and Canadians.

Don't get it, twisted, Trudeau. You've been screwing Canada over for 9 years, so why do you suddenly care now? You and Carney, and your gimp guilbeault with your carbon tax and doubling of rent and mortgages and groceries has been hurting Canadian families, but now Trump is doing this, and you're acting like a hero or are you just jealous because somebody else is beating on Canadians instead of just you, or is it because it's going to leave you with less of our tax dollars to launder?!

I am not the biggest Trudeau supporter at all but he makes me proud to be Canadian. Canadians will band together, we will get through this.

I despise Trump fiercely and, I'm Canadian, and I strongly dislike Trudeau....but I love his response. \nWe owe Trump for one thing:\nOther than his mindless minions here, he's united Canada more than we have been for a long time.

No problem with Canadians. Not sure why they put up with Trudeau. It took this to get him to take action on the border, and from what I understand the Canadian accounting is flawed. E.g. one percent of ten percent surveilled is not impressive, when 90 percent are crossing freely.

Im Canadian....not that I agree with the tariffs, but this POS Trudeau has shut down government the last 2 months. Nothing is getting done. He has time to fly to Ukraine but no time to sit down and hammer out a deal with the USA. He has caused all the issues Trump has complained about. He has destroyed our country from within. He is the worst neighbor a country can ask for. Weak leadership. Porous unsecure border. Weakest military of any first world nation. And a disciple of China. He is ALL OUR ENEMY!

No Teleprompter, No name calling, just calm logic. Trump, in his abject stupidity, does not realize he is hurting Americans as much as Canadian, nor does he care. I would only challenge Trudeau on calling Trump 'smart' - only Trump thinks he is smart. He is a semi-literate moron.
