From the USA good for you Canada. People who voted for Trump don’t understand the significance increase of prices that will hit their pockets severely.

TRUMP IS GOIN 2 F.U.K. OUR COUNTRY UP ITS AMAZING ERRY WHERE EV ARE MADE & SHIPPED TO THE USA GOT HIT WITH A TARIFF Y IS THAT?

say what you want about Trudeau, but he hits it home with this speech to the schoolyard bully

I’m an American. I love our home. I love our people. I love our land. I love our principles.\n\nAnd it’s for all those reasons that I support Canada, Mexico, the European nations, and all the other sane countries around the world that are hitting back against these maniacs driving my homeland into the gutters of history.\n\nEven as a leftist, I’ve had my fair share of criticisms for Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Starmer, and Mr. Macron as well as the other leaders of the EU. But now, bygones are bygones. In Americans’ moment of need, it’s clear that three folks care more about the United States and our values than the Republicans ever will.\n\nThank you for standing on the right side of what will certainly be one of the most important moments in modern American history.

I'm American and I'm in total support of what PM Trudeau is doing. My only advice is that he should think about hitting Tesla and all of the company that Musk own with a 100% Tarrif. That would make my day.

Trumps hitting Canada with tariffs because Melania was going Gaga over Trudeau. What a spiteful disgusting excuse for a human being let alone president. Him and his best girlfriend eyeliner Vance.

Try it! Your people can’t stand you yet alone afford to take a hit so bring it

This piece of shit should have done it way before the tariffs hit. Fuck this sell out!!!

25% you say is going to hit us hard. Then it is time to stop and drop the carbon tax. What do you think. It is a government issue and the government should pay for it.

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

Mr Trudeau world also knows how you talk & not walk \nAlso you often do not cover topic comprehensively \nTrump is doing the right thing for his country \nIn fact majority voted for him on his assurances he will hit back these who hitting USA

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

Saying that trump is 'not hitting adversaries but hitting friends' sounds like trump is hitting putin - but then its not adversary for trump... putin is a friend ;/ Ill pray for you americans. You need to last 4 years...

Bravo Trudeau ! Never thought you had it in you. Unlike our fawning PM Starmer you have shown Canadians has the courage to hit back at bullies. Straight talking , plain speaking non of the arrogance, the lies , the gangster threats of the disgraceful Trump regime.

Putin with his Trump sex tape is controlling US. Next bullet will not hit his ear !

Enjoying this until this stuff hit India ?, Stock Market indicators is already down ??.

Its not only Canada also Asia. For sure it will also hit the Philippines.

Don’t let the door hit you in the rear, Justin - English and Education major, 24 yrs younger than Trump. Trump - Economics major from Wharton. Gee, I wonder who’s gonna win.?

No. It must be madetough on US citizens, but you can’t look back on a friendship that only you saw, he always saw as transactional. Please just leave the US out of your minds and back away, as he plans to use your country against NATO. North America, is just America to him he literally thinks he’ll be the one to take over while leaving behind Puerto Rico and South America. He doesn’t know about the Somoan islands, onset has hit. I beg all Allies to just leave US to deal with this Russian agent Krasnov, and the A alliance pals of djt.

Do what you gotta do Canada. I fear half of my country unfortunately needs to learn the hard way. It's horrible that it will take a while until it hits the people who are being foolish and it will first hit people that aren't necessarily in alignment with the current administration.\n\nOur president expects that this illegal tariff (there's no emergency,) will be enough to scare you into some sort of sound byte that will stroke his precious ego. Do not give in. Don't let nonsensical bully-like actions win.

Everyone has called Justin and idiot for years... now... he standing up to Trump and everyone comes out of the woodwork to support him lol.... Trump doesnt do anything without a reason or plan. The man has been hitting nothing but net for decades. Goahead and have your @sshole pumped full of rainbows for a minute or 2... but I guarantee whatevers up Trumps sleeve will soon be revealed. The U.S has been beaten down by shitty trade deals for years and years.

This guy is a scumbag. He is the same as Gavin Newsome. All you fools who have TDS are easily brainwashed. Give it time, and the reality will hit these greedy corrupt scumbags.

Trump hit you with a trade war. I voted for Harris. But I get it. Get Trump real good.??

I'm Canadian and have never seen our society so united. Donald is picking a BS fight. I have heard from dozens of people in my life alone say they will not buy American or visit the US for the next 4 years. It will hit US business hard to lose a consumer base with the population the size of California. Not to mention I'm sure Mexicans will do the same.

RECESSION COMING SOON!! Sucks they only hit his ear!

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.

I think if the USA doesn't honour the trade agreement than neither does Canada. I say no more intellectual protection for US tech. That will truly hit them where it hurts.

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

This guy has no clue what is about hit him .. America will destroy you with a blink of an eye..

I see the comment section is completely one sided which is obsurd considering the # of views this video has(over 5.5 million in just 7 hours) and over 70k comments yet not a single comment opposes Canada ? I'll be sure to come back to this video later to verify my comment has been deleted. I'm taking a screenshot of this post after I hit comment as proof an attempt to make an opposing opinion on a cnn video was done, but was quickly removed. Lets see.....

We are about to hit the worst recession since the Great Depression. Good luck my fellow Americans

calling it now. the great trumpression will hit in 6 months. complete with trumphobos. trump camps. and elon charging stations

BRAVO PM Trudeau!!!!!! this is fantastic that you are standing up against the inhinged criminal FELON and TYRANT!!\nDo not ever cave in to this idiot BULLY or Canada will forever regret it, trump cant be reasoned with, talked to , persueded or anything else.\nConsider CUTTING the electric power to the 3 US States, and the OIL exported to the US as well- hit HARD and don't give in! The rest of the world is BEHIND you and support you!

Nobody cares what that coward says, dont let the door hit you on the way out

Hit him with %100 tariff, I bet Canada changes their ton!

Can the governor of our 51 state please be our POTUS? That dude can speak at least 2 languages and our “leader” can’t even speak English. Trudeau cares more about Americans than Cheeto Mussolini does. We’ve got an overweight pile of $hit who wants to let the Russians control the world instead of the ??. All I can say to the world is, sorry! I tried. I didn’t vote for the grifter in chief.

Just hit our country HARD! Trump needs to learn a hard lesson!

Goodbye Clowndeau. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Is he also going to hit Britain and Australia??? What's going on here?

Trudeau is liar. Drugs are coming from Canada and Trudeau don't want to stop the Drugs because it will hit his pockets

Hit us again... we are protesting and we are boycotting... we can only do so much to the economy without global partners helping us... Dear Canada please help us take down the Beast that has come to consume THE WORLD

Canada should hit back with higher tariff, say 35%

Seems the more wacky Trump get the more people love him. Wonder how popular he will be once the financial crisis hits everyone because of this.

Dont put Tariffs on the USA as they are passed onto the end user/consumer which are the American people. Put the prices up on your sale of electricity, oil and gas 25% that the US government buys, so it hits them first and they will think twice. ..... Trump never mentioned cost of living in his acceptance speech which had us wondering. This is why.

As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

Youtubers are still shopping like nothing is happening. They can take the financial hit, Mr. Trudeau. Don’t you back down sir!

Please, here are just some historic tariffs Canada hits America with. \n\nMilk: 270%\nCheese: 245%\nButter: 298%\nChicken: 238%\nSausages: 69.9%\nBarley seed: 57.8%\nBovine/meat: 26.5%\nCars: 25%\nHVAC: 45%\nVacuums: 35%\nCable boxes: 35%\nTVs: 45%\nSteel: 25%\nAluminum: 45%\nCopper: 48%\n\nTake a guess how much financial aide the U.S. sends Canada EVERY YEAR and how much military defense $$$$ we provide?

Great speech.. hits all the right notes..

But eh I’m going to hit Canada with a 25% carbon tax in a month.

Trudeau hit the bell when he mentioned:- Trump, you're a smart guy..This is a very dumb thing to do..\nA nice way to skin a cat..!\n\nTrump will remove the doubt when he makes a U-turn on the tariffs as it'll make Americans suffer...in pain(economically)...
