This clown has already started he's stepping down because he's not the leader Canada needs. Go quietly.

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

Trudeau is speaking truth to power, and he is clear as glass that this mindless alienation of Canada is going to rebound on Americans. Teudeau is a REAL LEADER. Unlike one in Australia. Every Aussie PM cows down and boot licks for Yankeeland. Neither major party could ever really stand up to Trump the Dumb Dump if he hurt our economy. Limp lettuce government that is so America dominated down under, where I live.

Canada is so blessed to have such an amazing, kind and caring leader.

Now that is a real leader! Trudeau has a monumental amount of integrity. I love Canada, it's values and people !

another stupid game by USA, just as they did against russia, and failed in Ukraine...the USA is trying to smoke everyone out in Canada and Mexico, and make it one big country, with maybe Greenland scoop up later..Russia doesnt wont more land, just no missiles on its border, like USA didnt want them in Cuba...This world could really be something if we didnt have these old dudes from a bygone era, still wanting to be number one in the world, when we all live on the same planet...They are still scared of Reds under the bed..they have sycceeded in getting rid of Trudeau, he will be gone, just when he is coming to life...The USA is like a rabid dog now, they foam at the mouth thinking they are the leader of the west world, what a joke..they are all liars and cheats, and dont even tell their own public the truth..if only we all settled down and acted like good neighbours, how good the world could be

I’ve read a lot of comments from people saying “Trudeau ruined Canada” in response to people expressing their support for Trudeau in this time.\n\nThat’s not really a great point.\n\nIf Trudeau hasn’t been good for Canada, but gives a coherent, inspiring, and professional speech in this moment that unites Canadians and others alike, then that should speak so much to how awful this situation is. Huge respect to Trudeau and Canada for not backing down. I hope one day we’ll be allies with the right side of the world again.\n\nWe wanna talk about a leader ruining a country? That’s what Donald is doing right now. Except he won’t unite us in the future with a speech like this.\n\nThis American stands with Canada!

Not surprised at the amount of treasonous morons in this comment section, siding with foreign leaders that have been ripping us off for decades. Canada already imposes tariffs on US products, now they are adding additional taxes, when all they had to do is lower (better yet, eliminate) their current ones. I guess progressives like being taxed to hell.

Yo Canada. Europe would like to have an ally like you and we would love to buy gas and oil from a democratic country with a reasonable grown up leader. Interested? ❤

He’s a small minded man, didn’t he step down ? Canada needs a new leader, Ukraine will take the deal to end the war, Trump can and will do what he said .. it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks of Trump personally.. it’s going to be uncomfortable people don’t like change but Trump is not going to stop he’s just getting started and he doesn’t care what people think of him he’s confident in his choices

Get lost justin Tradeau. He is khalistan separatist supporting PM of canada. He is a failed leader who has ruined Canadian economy and unable to handle housing crisis and inflation

PROUD of my TRUE LEADER. ??? Long live Canada!!!

Our USA President Donald J Trump messed up when choosing a fight with a very well educated Leader in Canada. \nMost of America apologizes for Mr Trump and his crew. \nThank you for your patience.

I want to move to Canada cause this is what a true leader does and speak unlike this clown that’s in office now

From Indonesia, honestly I wanna see both leaders of canada and AS once again sit and wisely talk to solve out these issues...you all our idol and role models but what happening now is sadness❤

Canada needs a new leader. Trudeau will never beat Trump. Our president is the most powerful and influential human being on planet Earth, and Trudeau is like a leader in training, with no business acumen whatsoever. Canada cannot exist without American dollars circulating through it.

I am a Canadian. We do not want conflict with USA. What we want is for our new leader to be voted in - and then work things out for trade. President Trump is aware of what we have suffered. Canada has stood firm.....the truckers in our capital....brought a siege all over the world for freedom. I do not want the tariffs.....that will hurt us both. But I did not like Trudeau's speech.....it was rude. It does not represent us as a country.

Red state American, former Republican in recovery here. This is the only world leader I listened to today, and time well spent. Bring it like you're getting it, Canada. Decent America is with you. The better you fight back, the sooner we Americans can get our country back.

I have always loved Canada and I cannot believe how awful Trump is treating you. I wish we had a leader like Justin Trudeau.

So this is what a rational intelligent leader of the nation sounds like. As a Vietnam veteran I didn't move to Canada during the Vietnam war but now it's starting to sound a lot better

Hey Canada! I'm jealous....what's it like having a leader that isn't a stupid, ugly, fascist?

You’re true leader Canada is trying to win his election back. That’s all it is!!$

That’s how a real leader talks to his countrymen. Stay strong Canada, sorry we have so many morons in my country who support this idiot.

Canada!!!❤❤ The world is with you!! A true leader speaking!!

At this present time and in this current governmental climate, I do believe that changing a leader now would hurt Canada. Trudeau has first hand experience and has dealt with Trump and his tantrums, this isn’t Trudeau’s first rodeo. I am concerned with Trump antics another leader could be influenced with charm and falsehoods which Trudeau has already confidently stood up against.\nAnd for a moment, let’s think a little bit further out of the box. This isn’t about fentanyl as Prime minster Trudeau pointed out. This is about making life for Canadians extremely difficult and chaotic. It’s to bring division between the United States and Canada, and with Trump joking and jokes are not jokes sometimes they become reality Canada being a 51st state. Trump Being friends with Putin, with Russian ships in our Arctic Ocean think on this for a minute. Putin decided to invade Ukraine to expand his make believe empire. President Trump and Vladimir Putin working together. Hasn’t Trump said he wants Canada to be part of the USA and wants our Prime Minister to be a governor how insulting. How very insulting to the Canadian people who not just live in Canada, but are also united Canadians.

I agree and stand by everything said by the PM Canada, but I do not agree with bashing any country or leader.

Canada will never give in to a foreign leader

I wish we had an adult for a leader like Canada.

This is a true statesman, Canada, you are so lucky to have such an articulate, sensible and coherent leader.

We are going to be sorely sad to see Trudea step down from his office as Prime Minister of Canada, as we need great leaders like him to fight for us. We pray that whoever replaces this seat of PM is going to stand firm and keep Canada and the United States united, and I am not refering to us becoming a 51st State.

HE IS A FAMILIAR FACE FOR CANADA, WHY ARE U GUYS REMOVING HIM?!?!?! WHY..??? IF HE DID WRONG CORRECT HIM, ALL THESE YOUNG LEADERS SHOULD BE KEPT GOING....!!!!

I want too take this time too say i am proud of you for saying you are a strong leader that obviously americans are sickened by the damage that trump has done too us Every True American who believes in our democracy we are suffering from just over 1 month and i am so sorry for how he treated Canada but understand this is NOT most Americans feelings were very upset and i pray that all of you in Canada realize our country has a been taken over and corrupted by trump and Elon Must

Hear me out. I think Trump was threatened by Netanyahu to do this to all the countries that agreed with ICJ's arrest warrant and promised to arrest him on arrival. Netanyahu was the first leader Trump met and suddenly EU, Canada, and Mexico are being treated like this.

This is exactly how ALL leaders around the world should be acting & treating Chump-Trump. DJT only understands power, $$, & force; he’s not bright enough nor stable enough to sustain good, healthy, mutually beneficial relationships w/other free, peaceful, reasonable countries such as Canada. \n\nJust one thing Trudeau should add to his comments to Donny:\n“U claim to be a player, but I fucked Ur wife!”\n… bc we all think he did. ?

-DEAR AMERICANS ..., this video is a prime example of why the USA needs to stop depending so much on other countries for so much importing and start investing in building and start manufacturing products again in the US like it used to be and keeping our farmlands IS VERY IMPORTANT also. Now you see the other side to alot of what's going on , it's important for America as a whole. If you don't understand why manufacturing/ farming/ and investing into some independence like other countries is important ....now you know!!! . Yes their are always gonna be trades and we need them also, But USA is like totally relying on other countries for everything!! We have nothing to offer of value anymore as a country or trade!! \n\n Hopefully the leaders in charge work with these trade countries and they come to fair agreements in fairness and the best intrest of Canada and USA .

This is how a true leader speaks and acts. I grew up in Buffalo too. Canada is my second home. I stand with Canada,

Hi Canada, can I come live with you guys? - just a nice gal from America who doesn't have a leader.

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

Trudeau crying again. Canada needs a new leader.

Canada, please turn the power off for 24/48 to wake up America that they have made the dumps decision with their choice of leader, it would be a reality check

If any American is shocked by this and believe that this deterioration of relations happened over night… allow me to remind you that not just Canada, but the entire world has prepared for this starting in Tr**p’s first term when he first started breaking ties with allies and sat in bed with your enemies. That is why the world is backing Canada so quickly and aggressively - we saw this coming and we decided back then that we needed to prepare for a world without the USA… and here we are! For any Americans who believe your ‘leader’ that this is the age when the world will respect the USA again, it is precisely the opposite… and if you don’t want to believe that, well, wishing you all the best. The world has never ever had as little respect for the USA as today… and Putin is just laughing his ass off because he has your ‘leader’ wrapped around his finger.

It's too bad our leader is so pathetic! Maybe we can be part of canada!!!

People can say many bad thing about Trudeau, he's not perfect as a leader, but who is perfect seriously? Conservative party? I don't think Polievre is perfect either, there is no easy way to deal with this, it'S going to cost a LOT of money for Canada to make sure that people and industries survives this...

Canada should not be too economically dependent on the United States.Canada must have a strong economic position with countries around the world.The United States no longer considers Canada a friend.The United States under the leadership of a man who is arrogant and wants to do whatever he wants.The United States should not have arrogant leaders destroying its allies.Trump is just a piece of rotten wood that will be melted by water.The United States should not let a piece of wood lead the country..

I love this man!!! I want to move to Canada where they have a real human as a leader, not an orange cartoon character!!

What a leader!!! I’m an American but I’m on Canada’s side. Trump is NOT my president. He’s a traitor who needs to be arrested. He’s intentionally trying to cause harm to U.S. and aligning us with Russia and North Korea! Is this what you wanted, America???? Wake the fxck up!!!

From Kentucky to Canada ?? we stand with you!!!! This is how a humble, honest and strong leader does!! ? Ukraine ?? we stand with you as well!

Kick Canada and kiss Putin. Who is the dumbest - The leader or the maga supporters?

As a Canadian we don’t support this corrupt prime minister who destroyed canada. He’s the reason we are getting punished. This spineless man is the reason people in canada suffer because he’s a terrible leader!

You need to leave. You took away our freedom of speech and expression. CNN is a big lie. People in Canada didn’t forget what and how bad you treated us. Now you are playing trump card . You made Canadians poor . All you do is lie. Trump is working hard for his citizens and what about you.? Just get out and let’s have a better leader. I can’t believe I voted for you.
